Looking at the scene before her, Su Xuerong pinched her thigh hard.
I don't feel anything!
When the cave and the man appeared before her again, she knew that she had not returned to the past, but had fallen into a strange slumber.
"Young lady, are you alright?"
"You just fainted, are you alright?" The man asked with concern, handing over another bamboo tube.
"Take a sip first."
Su Xuerong looked at him and swallowed.
Here we go again!
He made himself drink water five times already!
Could it be that I've been poisoned and unconscious for five days?
She wanted to refuse, but seeing the concern in the man's eyes, she sighed and took the bamboo tube and drank a mouthful.
The man sat down beside her and said softly, "Thank you, my lady."
Su Xuerong sighed: "You're welcome..."
She couldn't help but secretly pinch her thigh again.
I don't feel anything, I still don't feel anything.
What on earth was the poison on Zeng Ling's hairpin that caused her to fall into such a strange dream?
No, it's not exactly a dream either.
This is something she has experienced before.
"Is something on your mind?"
The man beside her suddenly spoke again.
Su Xuerong turned her head to look at him, and he was staring at her intently, his eyes sparkling with undisguised admiration.
Su Xuerong was taken aback.
Why didn't she notice this man's blatant gaze three years ago?
Noticing her displeasure, the man immediately looked away, coughed lightly, and asked, "Does my wife live at the foot of the mountain?"
Su Xuerong's heart skipped a beat: "No, I live in a village at the foot of the next mountain."
I don't want to tell him where I live.
The man gave her a deep look, nodded, and smiled, "Very good."
And they lied.
Living at the foot of the next mountain, how could the food she brought be hot?
Su Xuerong felt a little stifled, and slowly got up, saying, "You rest well, I'm going out for a walk."
The man's leg injury had not yet healed, so he could only watch helplessly as she walked out of the cave.
Su Xuerong then headed down the road at the foot of the mountain.
After walking for about 45 minutes, we saw Linjiazhuang at the foot of the mountain.
After entering through the back gate of Linjiazhuang and navigating through several long corridors, we finally arrived at a courtyard where the Su family lived.
An elderly woman drying herbs nearby greeted her warmly, "Arong's back?"
Su Xuerong's lips curled into a smile.
Here she comes again; she's already greeted this old lady five times.
"Your older brother is back, come inside quickly!"
Yes, my older brother, who lives far away in Yangzhou, has come back to visit relatives.
As Su Xuerong entered the courtyard, she heard her parents and Su Shirong laughing and talking inside.
Chen's voice was particularly loud, drowning out everyone else's.
Su Xuerong walked in without making a sound.
At this time, the eldest brother's family was still doing well.
Chen did not harbor any ill intentions and remained the same gossipy woman she had been a few years ago.
Jian Ge'er was still a little boy who could barely walk steadily, and he was only a tiny bit older than Yuan Jie'er.
"Auntie! Auntie!" Su Jian was still a little dumpling, and as soon as he saw her, he rushed to her feet and asked her to hug him.
Su Xuerong picked up Su Jian, who was not much older than Yuan Jie'er, and looked around at her parents and brothers. Suddenly, she thought of Yuan Jie'er and felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
She regretted that she had felt inexplicable sympathy for Zeng Ling, which had led her to this helpless situation.
If the poison in her body cannot be cured, will she never see Yuan Jie'er again in her entire life?
"Ah Rong is back!" Chen's loud voice rang out as he walked towards her excitedly.
Su Xuerong was somewhat dazed the first few times.
If it were truly possible for the whole family to be together, then going back to the past wouldn't be a problem.
But she knew that this was a hallucination she had experienced while she was in a coma.
Everything will be over once she falls asleep tonight and wakes up; she will return to the cave and be with that man again.
The family ate dinner happily, and Su Xuerong went to the kitchen to clean up and wash the dishes.
Madam Zhou walked in: "Arong, today I went to town and asked a few matchmakers to help you find a good husband. Your father also asked your uncle to keep an eye out for decent men..."
Su Xuerong heard the same words every day for the past five days, but she didn't feel annoyed. Instead, she felt a soreness in her nose.
Her parents still love her unconditionally.
Unfortunately, a year later, she was targeted by Xiao Shiyan and could never return to the carefree life she had at her parents' home.
"Mother, must a woman marry a man in her life?" Su Xuerong asked silently after tidying up the kitchen and drying her hands.
Mrs. Zhou paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Silly child, you've grown up. You'll naturally become a wife and mother someday."
Su Xuerong suddenly hugged her arm and murmured, "But what if I marry a bad person?"
Madam Zhou smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. The matchmakers I asked aren't just doing things randomly. They will definitely help you find someone honest and decent."
She reached out and touched her daughter's shiny black hair: "My daughter Rong is so wonderful, she must be betrothed to a loving husband."
"Your father and I don't need you to marry someone rich and powerful. We just need your future husband to be someone who truly loves and cares for you."
Su Xuerong lowered her head and remained silent.
Xiao Yuan seems to have fulfilled his mother's condition as well.
However, he exceeded his parents' expectations and became a truly powerful and influential person.
"Your elder brother and the others will be returning to Yangzhou in a few days. I need to prepare some dried goods from the mountains for them. You can pack your things and rest now." Zhou patted her daughter's hand and left.
After watching her mother leave, Su Xuerong quickly washed up and went to lie down in her small room in the west wing.
