She smiled and said to Zhu Wuhuan, "I brought him back to show you tonight. You must be very curious about the Soul-Guiding Pill, right? After you have finished looking at it, I will take him away from the palace and return to the house in the east of the city."
Zhu Wuhuan hugged her arm and smiled, "Thank you, Mother, for satisfying my curiosity."
Si Sangsang patted the back of her hand gently, then turned back to look at the doll on the small couch.
The little kid was secretly glancing over here, and when he noticed Si Sangsang looking at him, he waved his little arms happily, "Mom!"
"Jin'er, be good."
Si Sangsang also waved and gently greeted the little guy.
She looked at the little guy tenderly and spoke to Zhu Wuhuan in a low voice.
"He killed so many people. Death alone can't wash away the sins he once committed. I allowed him to be reborn, not only to satisfy my selfish desires as a mother, but also to allow him to atone for his sins."
"From now on, I will take him with me into business and let him make a lot of money with me. Then I will give this money to the families of those he killed."
"In the homes of those who died, the elderly parents lost their sons, the frail wives lost their husbands, and the young children lost their fathers. Every family will have a very hard time. I want to hold Jin'er's hand and go see how miserable they are. I want Jin'er to personally hold the silver and deliver it to each family one by one to atone for their sins..."
"I will strictly teach Jin'er to be a good person, spend his whole life doing good deeds, and turn his black soul into pure white."
"And when he is about to die, the Soul-Guiding Pill will release the suppression on his memory, and he will recover his memories of his past life. He will remember what he did in his past life and how many people he killed."
"If he is filled with resentment because he, a good prince, has become a mediocre businessman, and hates heaven, fate, and me, then dying with his eyes open is the greatest punishment for his stubbornness."
"If, after recovering his memories of his past life, he can feel happy, relieved, and liberated for all the sins he has committed in this life in his final moments, then he will be worthy of his rebirth, and his life will be meaningful. He will be grateful to me and to fate for giving him another chance to atone for his sins."
After hearing what Si Sangsang said, Zhu Wuhuan couldn't help but admire this mother even more.
She allowed King Jin to be reborn not only to satisfy her own selfish desires, but also because she had those who were killed in her heart. She would accompany her son and work hard to atone for her sins.
She could have been an empress dowager in the palace, served every day and lived a life of luxury, but she didn't. She wanted to burn the rest of her life and lead her son to repent and reform.
She was not only redeeming her son, she was also redeeming those who were suffering.
"Mother, the Emperor and I are proud to have a mother like you—"
Zhu Wuhuan looked at Si Sangsang with emotion, "Xiao'er and Aqiong will also be proud to have a royal grandmother like you."
Si Sangsang smiled.
There is no need to be proud or proud.
Her original intention was just to redeem her son, and she was also selfish.
Zhu Wuhuan added, "You plan to live in the east of the city. Doesn't that mean you won't be able to come back often to accompany the emperor, me, and the children?"
Si Sangsang raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "No, you are my children too. How could I bear not to visit you more often? I deliberately chose a house closer to the palace. In the morning, I will be at home with Jin'er, and in the afternoon, I can appear in the palace as the Queen Mother to accompany you."
After a pause, she added, "Of course, I can't run back and forth like this every day. It's still quite tiring. I only come back once every three to five days—"
She lowered her voice and said, "Just pretend we're in modern times, okay? Aren't there many young couples these days who buy their own houses and live on their own after marriage, only visiting their parents on weekends? Faraway things are better than nearby things. You two should just live your own lives well from now on, and mother-in-law won't interfere. She can just come visit you all on weekends."
After a pause, she smiled and said, "Of course, you still have to come outside the palace two or three times a year, sit down and meet Jin'er. You have to let him know that he has a brother and sister-in-law, okay?"
Zhu Wuhuan was amused by the old man's words.
But when you think about it, it's not wrong.
In modern society, many young couples do not live with their elderly parents. The young people work outside, and the elderly live in the countryside, only coming to the city to see their children once a year.
She nodded, "Okay, mother, the emperor and I will often go out of the palace to see you."
Si Sangsang waved his hand and said, "Just like I said, come two or three times a year, no need to come more often. I will tell Jin'er that his brother and sister-in-law live in other provinces for business, so it's difficult for them to come."
Zhu Wuhuan nodded and agreed.
After discussing where his mother-in-law would live in the future, Zhu Wuhuan's attention returned to Si Jin lying on the small couch.
She whispered, "Mother, Si Jin's body..."
Si Sangsang said, "The orphanage found it."
Zhu Wuhuan suddenly understood.
The orphanage is a place supervised by the government to shelter orphans.
Before the emergence of orphanages, some poor families who had daughters but did not want to raise them would secretly kill them.
However, since the establishment of the orphanage, families who no longer wanted children would leave their children alive and secretly throw them outside the orphanage.
Therefore, the orphanage can be regarded as the orphanage of Daning, and it is very humane.
In addition to these abandoned girls, there were also some boys with physical and intellectual disabilities who were thrown into the orphanage.
Not only that, if a child in the family is seriously ill and cannot afford to treat it even if they sell all their belongings, the parents will reluctantly abandon the child to an orphanage, praying that the government can help treat the child and save his life.
"This child is a poor, foolish child who was thrown out of the back door of the orphanage a few days ago."
Si Sangsang looked at Si Jin and sighed, "He was probably born mentally retarded, and his parents didn't value him. So when he caught a cold, they didn't notice. By the time they did, he was already terminally ill and beyond saving, so they simply threw him into the orphanage..."
She shook her head and said, "When I went there, he had just died. I saw that he had handsome features, so I followed the people from the orphanage. After they dumped him in the mass grave, I placed the soul-calling pill in his mouth and used his body as a vessel to bring Jin'er's soul back."
Zhu Wuhuan nodded, so that's how it is.
She was about to speak when suddenly the door was pushed open from the outside.
Through the crack in the door, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law saw Suqiu kneeling at the foot of the steps, and Feng Changye, wearing a black dragon robe, walked in gracefully.
What made the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law unbelievable was that this guy was wearing a funny monkey mask on his face!
Feng Changye calmly closed the door in front of the astonished gazes of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and then looked at Zhu Wuhuan silently.
"Queen, if you don't want to see me, can I come in after I put on my mask?"
