Upon learning that their mother had woken up, Da Bao and Xiao Bao rushed in, but before they even reached the bedside, they couldn't hold back their tears.
Although Da Bao was rational, he was still a six-year-old child, and he cried loudly with his lips pursed.
Xiao Bao was even more upset; he cried and cried out, "Mom, I thought you would never wake up again! I was so scared..."
These words struck a nerve with Da Bao, who nodded vigorously, "I also thought you weren't going to wake up... Waaah!"
Shen Qingyu was also punctured.
For me, the three children were an unexpected bonus, a real stroke of luck.
But to her three children, she was their only mother.
They did not experience reincarnation or the love of a second mother.
I am their most important support!
"Good boy, Mommy's alive! Mommy's fine." Shen Qingyu reached out and touched the two children's faces.
The children reached out and nuzzled their heads so Shen Qingyu could pat them, their heads rubbing against her palms to save their mother the effort. They looked incredibly adorable.
Shen Qingyu felt a pang of heartache and couldn't help but get up and hug the two children.
When Zhao Yuzhu came in next, she saw the scene before her and couldn't hold back her tears any longer, which streamed down her face.
"I'm relieved that you've woken up, Xiaoyuer." Zhao Yuzhu couldn't help but go over and hug Shen Qingyu and the two children, like a mother hen holding a flock of chicks.
Qi Yunxiao stood by the bed: "..."
It seemed too late to go and hug her now... It was difficult to hug her with my godmother-in-law in between.
He couldn't help but feel regret.
However, seeing Shen Qingyu's close interaction with the children, he felt inexplicably at ease: as long as they woke up, that was good.
After leaving the room, Doctor Mo explained to Qi Yunxiao, "Ninety percent of the poison has been neutralized, but the remaining poison is scattered throughout the body. To completely eliminate it, you must take this prescription... and persist for six months."
Qi Yunxiao nodded without hesitation: "Okay."
Seeing Qi Yunxiao's certainty, Doctor Mo couldn't help but remind her, "If she continues with this prescription for six months, her constitution will be completely changed, and she will be chronically obese from now on..."
Are there any other side effects?
"No, not at all..." Doctor Mo shook his head.
But for a woman, being obese for many years is not considered a sequela?
This is extreme psychological torture, okay?!
Especially women who are already extremely beautiful.
Zhao Yuzhu understood the importance of beauty to girls. She came out of the room just as she overheard half of what was happening, and asked, "What will happen to her if she isn't cured?"
This Dr. Mo is quite knowledgeable: "If the poison is not neutralized, although she can live like a normal person, the residual poison will shorten her lifespan significantly, and she will not live past forty."
Qi Yunxiao nodded knowingly again: "It's alright, just give her the medicine. Being fat isn't a problem, as long as she's alive, there's a chance."
At this time in the capital, Cheng Ping, weary from his journey, discreetly entered a manor.
Zhuangzi was heavily guarded; as soon as he approached, someone jumped out and asked, "Who goes there?"
Cheng Ping tossed over a token.
The man glanced at him, then bowed and said, "Please come in."
Cheng Ping walked in with a sullen face.
The entire estate was so large, yet the courtyard was kept clean and tidy, with nothing superfluous, making it look brand new.
Yet it also exudes a chilling and austere atmosphere.
Cheng Pingduo didn't even glance at it, and walked straight to the innermost part.
Upon entering the backyard, the scenery suddenly changes, becoming exquisite and luxurious, with a different view at every turn.
Look... aside from being too small, it actually bears some resemblance to the Imperial Garden.
Cheng Ping walked through the connecting corridor and entered a courtyard. The old woman inside greeted him with a look of delight: "Young Master has arrived!"
Cheng Ping nodded: "Hello, Granny. Is she in?"
"Yes, yes!" the nanny hurriedly went to report.
Of course it is.
Where else could she be but here?
Where else could she go?
Cheng Ping entered the flower hall and saw a woman sitting at the head of the table amidst a profusion of exotic flowers and exquisite decorations.
The woman was dressed in brocade, with exquisite features, but her face was sharp and her eyes held a hint of mockery.
"What? You've finally decided to come see me?"
Cheng Ping stared intently at the woman at the head of the table: "Mother, did you do this?"
This exquisitely beautiful woman was none other than Cheng Ping's mother, Su Liniang.
Su Liniang chuckled: "What? You haven't come to see me for years, and now that you've finally come, it's for someone else's wife?"
"You are so filial!"
As she said this, Su Liniang's smile vanished abruptly, and her features suddenly became ferocious.
Cheng Ping looked at Su Liniang and said, "Why did you treat her like this? I have nothing to do with her."
"Why? Hahaha..." Su Liniang burst into laughter again, as if she had lost her mind.
"Don't you know why I treated her like that? What do you think?"
Cheng Ping remained silent for a moment, lowering his eyes and not speaking, but his aura became even more dejected.
Why?
Why is she always filled with hatred?
It was as if the whole world had wronged her, and she alone was innocent.
She can hurt everyone in the world because she is right.
Her fallacies don't need others' approval; she only needs to agree with them herself...
Just like how she threw him away without a second thought because of her twisted logic.
Seeing that Cheng Ping remained silent, Su Liniang became even more agitated. She leaned forward and said, "What? You still can't forget her? How did that slut manage to seduce you? How can you be so hung up on her?"
"Did you choose to marry into such a poor merchant family because you couldn't have that bitch? You are of noble birth..."
"Enough!" Cheng Ping abruptly interrupted, glancing at the door before lowering his voice and sternly warning, "If you don't want to die, shut your mouth!"
Su Liniang was startled for a moment by Cheng Ping's cold expression, then laughed sarcastically: "Hehehe... Death? I'm locked up here, and everyone can come and go freely except me. What's the difference between me and being dead?"
"I think so too." After calming down, Cheng Ping's tone became even colder. He turned and glanced outside: "Pass down the order that from this day forward, all procurement shall be undertaken by the guards. No one shall be allowed to enter or leave except for my own guards."
"Cheng Ping!" Su Liniang shouted sharply.
Cheng Ping looked at her coldly, completely unafraid: "What? I've turned a blind eye to you all these years, and now you're not even afraid of death?"
"Or are you saying that when you sent someone to assassinate Consort Rong, you thought His Majesty wouldn't be able to find out?"
"Or do you think that once Consort Rong is dead, you will catch His Majesty's eye and rise to power? Become the Empress?"
With each additional word Cheng Ping spoke, Su Liniang's face paled a little more. By the time Cheng Ping finished speaking about the phoenix's rule over the world, Su Liniang's face was ashen.
"You...you are my biological son!" Su Liniang muttered in disbelief, her eyes filled with tears and panic.
How dare you threaten me like that?
Cheng Ping gave a bitter laugh: "You are my own mother, how could you be so heartless as to abandon me for a man?"
