I married him, I gave him advice, and finally he ascended to the throne of power, but what did he give me? A woman who was raised somewhere else and always coveted my status? Or a bowl of abortion soup for aborting his own child?
All her memories were of humiliation, calculation, and deception, without a single bit of warmth. The person who loved her the most, the person who cared about her the most, was pushed away by her own hands...
"Ran'er? What's wrong with you?" Lian Jinyu looked at her pale face and asked in surprise, "Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
An Qingran came back to her senses and smiled: "Mom, I don't want to get married!"
Lian Jinyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Silly child, how can a girl not get married? Do you want to accompany your parents for the rest of your life?"
"Why not? I will stay with my parents until they grow old. I will not go anywhere and I will not marry anyone!" An Qingran said solemnly.
However, Lian Jinyu was laughing so hard that she doubled over: "You are still a child. When I saw you like that just now, I thought you had grown up and had something on your mind. I didn't know that you had such thoughts..." As she laughed, her eyes were filled with sorrow. "Good child, your mother and father appreciate your kindness. Don't say this again in the future..."
Seeing this, An Qingran smiled and started to act coquettishly, pulling her mother's sleeve with a smile on her face: "Mom, I had a dream yesterday..."
"Oh? You came here early in the morning just to tell your mother about your dream? What was that dream about? Tell me quickly!" Lian Jinyu smiled and pulled her into his arms, stroking her hair.
"Well, let me think about it. Yes, our family is very happy together... Mom teaches Raner embroidery, and dad teaches younger brother archery. My younger brother is very good. Although he is only one or two years old, he can pull the bow..." An Qingran was just looking for a topic to persuade her mother. Unexpectedly, when she got to here, a beautiful picture appeared in her mind. It was indeed a family of four!
"Your brother? Is it An Mingxuan?"
"It's not Mingxuan, your mother's biological son, but my brother from the same father and mother!" An Qingran smiled cunningly.
"Nonsense, where is my brother?" Lian Jinyu said with a smile.
An Qingran turned around and hugged her neck, leaning into her arms: "Mom, please give me a brother soon! Ran'er can't wait..."
"What nonsense! This kid has no shame!"
"Mom, to be honest, you should really give me a younger brother. Think about it, my aunt handed over the keys yesterday, but she still has a son and a daughter. There's no guarantee that father will hand over the power to An Mingxuan in the future. By then, I'm afraid we mother and son will never have a good life again. Mother, have you ever thought that you really should be the mistress of the house? If you are the mistress, you won't bully my aunt and her children, but they are different. Isn't mother heartbroken by what my aunt has done in the general's mansion over the years? Father is only angry with her temporarily. If one day he softens his heart and lets her out again, she'll be good at sweet-talking. If you don't take the keys, who will father give them to?" When An Qingran said this, she picked up the key chain and put it in her mother's hand.
Lian Jinyu was made to think deeply about her words, with an unwilling look on his face.
An Qingran continued, "Mother, I know that you have been blaming father because of Auntie's matter, but the problem now is that your blaming will only create opportunities for others, which will be very disadvantageous to us. Besides, so many years have passed. From the look of father yesterday, he has mother in his heart and cares very much. How is it, mother?"
"What?"
