Xu Lingyi is Mrs. Xu's youngest child and the only daughter among her four children. She has been loved since childhood.
Everyone loves sons because sons can inherit the family business, stay with their parents, and take care of them in their old age, while daughters always have to get married.
But she and her husband did not cherish sons as much as other people did. She had three sons, which was enough.
Moreover, his son had grown up and was away fighting, so they had very little time together. Only his daughter had been raised by his side since she was a child and he took care of her in everything.
She loves this daughter the most in her heart.
Her sons are married and have children, and her daughter is coming of age this year. Her only worry now is her daughter's marriage.
For women, this is a lifelong thing.
"Okay, I'll go with my mother, and we'll pray to the Buddha to keep our family safe and sound, and to prevent any bad things from happening."
In the past, Xu Lingyi didn’t like going to temples, and she didn’t believe in gods and Buddhas, but now she has to believe, because her rebirth proves that such miraculous things do exist in the world.
She prayed that in this life, her parents would be healthy, the Xu family would be safe, and she would avoid the dead end of her previous life.
"Your father plans to return to Beijing soon. After all these years, he's finally coming back."
When Xu Lingyi heard her mother say this, her heart tightened.
"Mother, please don't let father and brothers come back."
In her previous life, she was Princess Minghua. When she saw her father and brother, she became lustful and caused the tragic deaths of her mother and sister-in-law.
If her mother hadn't gotten into trouble, she wouldn't have gotten involved with Li Xu, and the things that happened later wouldn't have happened.
"Don't you want your father and the others to come back?"
The mother was a little surprised. "Weren't you looking forward to it yesterday? Who said you would cook for them when they came back?"
Mrs. Xu asked with a smile.
Yesterday she remembered that her daughter had been acting coquettishly and even wrote to her husband asking him to bring her things from the frontier.
"I've changed my mind, mother. It's better if father and the others don't come back."
Of course, Xu Lingyi would not say that Princess Minghua would fall in love with her father and brother. If she said it, others would probably think she was hysterical.
Princess Minghua had many lovers, but they were all people of low status. In the eyes of the powerful in the capital, these people were not considered human beings. Although they were dissatisfied with the princess, it was only because she was a woman. Women should behave properly and put their husbands first. They thought the princess was promiscuous, not because they were upset with these people.
They could not have imagined that the princess would target the Xu family and be so bold as to poison the wife of a nobleman.
But Princess Minghua did just that.
