She suddenly remembered that the Lady of Anyuan Marquis and the Empress were close friends.
It must have been Lady Anyuan who pleaded with the Empress.
The entire Yun family was shocked.
How could this lowly concubine's daughter from the Wu family manage to obtain an imperial decree from the Empress? What was the Wu family thinking before?
Why did she have to marry into any wealthy and powerful family, instead of becoming the second wife of the Duke of Pingguo's heir? And why did she have to resort to such dishonorable means?
With the imperial decree before them, the Yun family had no choice but to obey.
Yun Tianbai had a bitter pill to swallow.
Shi Wenxia had no way to express his bitterness.
Wu Xinxin entered the mansion as a concubine by imperial decree. Wouldn't she be able to ride roughshod over him in the future?
Because of You Ran's illness, Su Shi had no time to consider the feelings of Yun Tianbai and his wife, and did everything according to the imperial decree.
Even the wedding ceremony to welcome Wu Xinxin into the family was only arranged hastily.
She even missed the New Year's Eve banquet at the end of the year, spending her days at home with her daughter, anxious and worried.
...
Day 49.
Su Youran once again experienced the intense and despairing pain of her previous life.
It was a pain exceeding level 10 from head to toe, every piece of flesh, every bone, every nerve—everywhere was in pain.
At that time, she was already blind, and everything in front of her was pitch black, but she still remembered to protect her belly tightly.
She knew the little life inside her was about to be born, but in this stinking cage, she didn't know if she could live to give birth to him/her.
Not only was she blind, but her tongue was also cut off. Her throat could only utter screams of pain, but she couldn't utter a single word for help.
The contractions grew more and more intense, and she gradually lost all her strength.
She woke herself up again and again, desperately trying to give birth to the baby in her belly.
However, each time the pain intensified, she felt increasingly powerless.
Finally, after a period of intense, excruciating pain, she succumbed to complete darkness.
"Ah—" Su Youran cried out in pain, suddenly sitting up in bed with her eyes wide open.
Su's hand, which had been supporting her forehead, fell, and she regained consciousness.
Seeing her daughter sit up, she quickly went over and instinctively comforted her, patting her gently, "Daughter, daughter, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Mother is here..."
Su Youran was a little confused. After realizing that the room was her current bedroom, she remembered that the long and painful dream she had just had was her death in her previous life.
She threw herself into her mother's arms and suddenly burst into tears, crying out, "Mother!"
Mrs. Su was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, "You Ran! You Ran, you're awake?!"
Su Youran looked up, even more bewildered, "Mother, what are you doing here?"
Overjoyed, Madam Su wept, “You Ran, you’ve been asleep for forty-nine days! Your mother has stayed by your side every day, and today you’ve finally woken up! Master Wuwang was right, you were just frightened.”
"Forty-nine days? Shocking!" Su Youran was quite frightened.
"Did you have a nightmare?" Madam Su gently patted her back. "These past few days, you've been crying out in pain in your dreams every day, and it breaks my heart to see you like this. What exactly did you see in your dreams?"
Su Youran took a deep breath, still shaken, feeling her breath tremble.
Madam Su immediately said, "Alright, alright, if you won't tell me, then don't think about that terrible dream anymore. It's good that you're awake, it's good that you're awake."
She quickly asked Suyue to fetch water for her to clean up, and then hurriedly went to the kitchen to cook something easy to digest.
As Su Yue washed her face, Su Youran recalled her dream.
She hadn't thought about her experiences before her death for a long time.
Because she couldn't find the path to reincarnation after her death in her previous life, she would experience the pain and misery of her death every day. Over time, she became numb.
Later, after entering the bracelet, he discovered that he could seal away this memory by falling asleep, so he sealed away all the painful experiences he had in the year before his death.
But that day she saw Old Ding! She saw the conspicuous mole on his lip!
She was certain that this person was the one who had captured and imprisoned her in her previous life, and that she had been tortured in that dark room for a whole year before dying in childbirth.
The baby in her womb also died in the womb.
That's why she started having nightmares.
Little did I expect that this nightmare would last for forty-nine days.
It has caused my family and master to worry.
When the fish porridge was served, she weakly got up with Su Yue's help and sat down at the table, drinking the porridge while thinking.
So, in her previous life, the person who harmed her was actually from the Zhou family?
Zhou Qingqian?
Only one member of the Zhou family, Zhou Qingqian, harbors hostility towards her.
This Zhou Qingqian is indeed deeply in love with Yun Tianbai. In her previous life, she was dealing with the Crown Prince's wife, and in this life, she has just set up a scheme to seize the position of Crown Prince's wife.
But who was the person who was with me in the dark room later?
Although she had not lost her eyes or had her tongue cut out, the person she saw had been completely disfigured and was unrecognizable.
Although she could speak, she didn't want to speak at first. When she finally asked, she learned that the person had been poisoned and was unable to answer.
Zhou Qingqian in this life certainly doesn't know what happened in the previous life, so she can't know who that person was.
Even if you ask her now, you won't get an answer.
...
After that, people from all branches of the Yun family came to visit her.
Madam Yun came over herself, hugged her in her arms, and cried and laughed, saying that our little Fu Bao must not have anything happen to her.
Yun Tianbai and Shi Wenxia naturally came as well, along with Wu Xinxin. They sat in the outer room for a while, asking about her health with worried expressions.
Su Youran was quite surprised to see Wu Xinxin. She never expected that Yun Tianbai would have a concubine in the time it took for her to recover from her illness.
When the three of them got up to say goodbye,
Looking at the two people in front of her who carried memories of their past lives, Su Youran suddenly had an idea.
"Sister-in-law," she called out, but seeing that Shi Wenxia and Wu Xinxin turned around at the same time, she quickly changed her words, "Sister-in-law Wenxia, the handkerchief you gave me last time had very delicate stitches. I would like to ask you for your embroidery techniques, is that alright?"
Yun Tianbai immediately knew that she had something to say to Shi Wenxia, so he nodded and said, "You keep Sixth Sister company and talk to her. I have to go back to the yamen today."
After saying that, he turned and left, with Wu Xinxin following closely behind.
Su Youran casually asked, "Which government office does your elder brother work for?"
Shi Wenxia smiled and said, "The Five Cities Military Command is now a deputy commander."
"oh."
Su Youran didn't care. She watched as Shi Wenxia sat down in front of her again, casting an impatient, questioning look at her. She smiled and pretended to be confused and bewildered, saying, "Sister-in-law, I have something I want to tell you privately, but... I can't tell my brother about it."
