The thought of this chilled Princess Shouguang to the bone.
"Mother, I cannot go to Father's side now."
With no one around, Jiang Shijing spoke in a low voice, his tone frighteningly calm.
"What?" Princess Shouguang was a little angry: "How many more days can Mother live in this condition? It's impossible for you to inherit the family business now. Go and show your filial piety to your father more often, so that you can get a bigger share of the family business in the future. This is your lifelong guarantee."
"I'm all better now," Jiang Shijing said. "I've come to tell my mother the good news."
Princess Shouguang didn't understand what "getting better" meant at first, but when she saw that Jiang Shijing's eyes were clear and bright, which was what a living, normal person should have, she couldn't help but feel a chill, and an indescribable excitement swept over her heart.
She even suspected it was a hallucination.
If someone's mind suddenly becomes unclear, they must have been poisoned. How could they recover so quickly?
"Over the years, my mother and I have suffered terrible fates. My mother fell ill and was stripped of her power in the inner quarters. I have become insane and a disgrace to the family. All of this is inseparable from the vicious schemes of the Wei family."
“I won’t let them get away with this. Once I’m ready, I’ll go to Father and catch them off guard. I didn’t want Mother to worry, so I was going to report back after it was done. But Mother has no will to live, and I want to give her something to look forward to and something to keep going.”
Jiang Shijing squeezed Princess Shouguang's hand tightly: "Mother, just focus on getting better and leave everything to me."
Princess Shouguang stared blankly at her son.
It's as if she had a dream before, and now she's having another one.
She couldn't help but pinch her wrist hard; it really hurt.
Princess Shouguang was overjoyed to find her son truly healed. It was such an incredible and unimaginable thing that she had never dared to dream of. Tears welled up in her eyes.
Thinking of her bizarre dream that had been confirmed in reality, she couldn't help but ask, "Jing'er, how did you suddenly get better? I saw that your madness had been getting worse over the past two years, and I had given up hope. I just hoped that you could live out your old age peacefully."
Even living to a ripe old age peacefully would have been impossible in the past.
"I don't know why, it's like I had a very long dream, lasting for a year or two. When I woke up, I could see everything clearly. The poison in my body should be gone. Before, I always felt something heavy weighing on me, not just my body, but also my heart. Now I feel much lighter. I realize what it feels like to be alive." Jiang Shijing sighed.
It was a dream, another dream. It seemed that there really were gods who couldn't bear to see their suffering and were helping them. Princess Shouguang felt a surge of excitement.
The mother and her two children are saved!
Since her son had important matters to attend to, Princess Shouguang did not tell him about her sister's situation, so as not to distract him. As a mother, she also had her responsibilities to bear.
She should do something for her children.
Princess Shouguang gritted her teeth, a resolute glint in her eyes. Even though she was close to death, she was determined to wear down the Wei family and make them die with her.
She wanted to pave the way for her children.
"You must be careful in the future. Never let the Wei family know that you are getting better, or she will strike first."
"Don't worry, Mother. I can keep my composure despite the years of grudges."
"Mother, look what delicious food I brought you." Jiang Shuxue carried a food basket and entered the courtyard with light steps.
She was taken aback when she saw Jiang Shijing, because Jiang Shijing was acting crazy and was only concerned with sinking into his own chaotic world. He hadn't visited Princess Shouguang for a long time.
