Bai Yajing gently comforted the two elderly people and left only after they calmed down.
She wanted to write a letter to her godmother, to tell her that she had avenged her uncle's death... and also hoped that her godmother could move on from the past.
She returned to her study, sat quietly at her desk, and looked at the sunlight outside the window, her mood heavy and complicated.
After she had calmed down, she unfolded the letter paper, picked up her pen, and began to write.
Dear Godmother:
Hope you are well.
It's been so long since we last met, and I've been thinking of you constantly. As I pick up my pen to write, my thoughts are overflowing, and I only wish you all the best.
The matter of my uncle has finally come to an end. The chief of the enemy agents who killed them in order to replace Dong Guangming in the military is now dead. The wheel of karma turns, and good and evil are rewarded accordingly.
Please rest assured, I did not act impulsively; everything was within the bounds of law and reason. My uncle can now rest in peace. From now on, you no longer need to carry this burden. If possible, I hope you can let go of the past and start a new life. I believe your great-uncle would certainly want you to be well.
Of course, whatever decision you make, I will support you, and I will wait for you to come back. Tomorrow I plan to visit him at the martyrs' cemetery and tell him about this happy outcome.
Life is long, please take care of yourself. This is also my, my uncle's, my maternal grandparents' and my greatest wish.
Finally, I have some good news to share: I gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, at the end of March. You've become a grandmother!
I will always love and respect your child.
April 1969.
She put down her pen. She actually had so much more to say, but she worried that saying too much would cause her godmother worry, especially since she was currently stuck in the classified research area…
After sealing the letter, he went to the kitchen and wrapped up some cured meat, dried vegetables, and the plasters he had made for his godmother, and asked Xiao Che to take them to be mailed.
The next morning, she brought her maternal grandparents to the Martyrs' Cemetery. Her grandparents originally didn't want her to come because she was still in her postpartum period, but Bai Yajing insisted on coming.
She hadn't visited her uncle in a long time, and now that she had gotten her revenge, she wanted to come with the two elderly people to talk to her uncle.
Grandma couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she had to wrap her up completely before letting her go out.
Xiao Che drove them there and accompanied them to see his uncle.
As soon as Xiao Che arrived, he began to sweep the dust and weeds from his uncle's grave.
Since worship is not allowed now, Bai Yajing placed a bunch of flowers she had picked from the roadside.
Grandpa, Grandma, and Bai Yajing told Uncle everything about Dong Guangming, one after another. The two old people had a sad look on their faces. Bai Yajing knew that they were not feeling well and must be feeling down, so she gently comforted them from the side.
Xiao Che also solemnly kowtowed to his uncle.
"Uncle, please rest assured, with me here, I will definitely take good care of Grandpa, Grandma, and Yajing."
Upon seeing this scene, all three unconsciously smiled slightly.

After Bai Yajing returned home, she gathered her family together. There was something she had been thinking about for a long time, and today was the perfect day to take care of it.
She took out a box, then took out paper and pen and quickly wrote a few notes, folded them, put them inside, shook them a few times, and then put them back down.
Several elders watched her movements with curiosity.
Bai Yajing coughed lightly. "As we agreed before, after I give birth, my children will take the surnames of several elders. Since I had twins in my first pregnancy, I'm thinking it's not good to decide whose surname they should take first. So let's just draw lots. That way, it'll all depend on everyone's luck."
To avoid putting her in a difficult position, it's hard to say whose surname she should take first.
Upon hearing this, the others chuckled.
