In just a few years, her hair had already turned gray, her skin was rougher and drier than that of the women working on the farm in the countryside, and her thin, shriveled lips made her look a little mean.
At this moment, she suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Gu Wanying.
Gu Qingqing suddenly felt a little awkward. She was no longer the arrogant little girl who disliked Gu Wanying. She had been tortured by her mother-in-law and husband until she had lost her dignity.
The hatred towards Gu Wanying had long been replaced by these things.
"Why are you here?" she asked unnaturally.
"Gu Qingqing, do you still remember what the Japanese empress said when you got married?" Gu Wanying spoke with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth.
Gu Qingqing looked at her in confusion.
"I hope your marriage will be smooth and peaceful, and you'll enjoy eternal happiness." Gu Wanying raised her eyebrows and looked her over from head to toe. "Tsk tsk tsk, Gu Qingqing, you've really messed yourself up. If you had put some of the effort you put into dealing with me into the Sun family, you wouldn't have been bullied so badly by this mother and son."
Gu Qingqing felt as if struck by lightning. Her lips trembled and she couldn't speak.
"How does it feel to be childless? How does it feel to be schemed against and bullied by others?"
"How do you know I don't have children?" Gu Qingqing immediately grasped the key point.
Gu Wanying looked at Gu Qingqing as if she were a fool. She found out that Gu Qingqing was actually a complete love-brained person. Even in this situation, she still stayed with Sun Chongming.
"After Yunniang and Qiaoniang gave birth, there are no more children in the family, right? Gu Qingqing, use your brain. Don't you think that I can't have children? Let me tell you, I now have three children, and I'm pregnant with two more, and I'm also the current queen! Jingyan is the prince of the Eastern Palace and has a noble status. Look at you, you have nothing. This is the result of you stealing my things." Gu Wanying's laughter was as sweet and light as an oriole, but to Gu Qingqing's ears it sounded like a deadly evil spirit.
Gu Wanying was also responsible for Sun Chongming's childlessness for many years. She asked Qiao Niang to feed him a sterility pill, and Gu Qingqing herself was affected by the poison and could not get pregnant.
No matter how hard two sterilized people try, they will never have children.
Gu Qingqing finally broke down. That night, she locked the gate, drove out her only child, and then burned down the Sun family's house.
By the time the neighbors discovered it, the fire was so severe that the people inside had already been burned to death.
When Xiao Cheng reported the news to Gu Wanying, they boarded the boat to Xuzhou.
If I remember correctly, Xuzhou is her hometown.
"I understand. Let's go down." Gu Wanying poured a glass of sake into the river.
The ship sailed south and arrived in Xuzhou two days later.
Gu Wanying took her children and the emperor to her hometown. As soon as she entered the door, she saw a conspicuous tablet in the middle of the table in the lobby, with some fruits and offerings placed in front of it.
"My beloved wife, this is Chen Lan's tablet."
Is her mother dead?
Gu Taikang received the group of people. His family was quite wealthy, and the servants and maids arranged today's meals in an orderly manner.
Gu Taikang, with snow-white hair, poured a cup of fresh tea for the emperor.
"My wife passed away a year ago. She was not in good health when she came here. Now it can be considered a relief." Gu Taikang started coughing after just saying a few words, and Gu Wanying's heart began to feel uncomfortable as well.
"Dad, why didn't you tell me?" Gu Wanying's voice was a little choked.
"Your mother said that her biggest mistake in her life was not loving you well. She didn't want to burden you any more after she passed away. Now that she's gone, you don't have to be sad."
"Dad, I want to burn some incense for her."
As smoke curled up, Gu Wanying gazed solemnly at the tablet before her, her fingers curled slightly. The mother-daughter and sisterly love of this life had faded with the wind, all grudges settled.
In this life, Gu Wanying and the emperor gave birth to eight children in total. The emperor passed away when little Jingyan was twelve years old.
Jingyan succeeded to the throne, and Gu Wanying ruled the country from behind the scenes, becoming the youngest empress dowager in the history of the Dayu Dynasty.
When Jingyan was twenty years old, the queen gave birth to her first prince, and Gu Wanying experienced the feeling of being a grandmother.
Life is like a fleeting moment. Gu Wanying died at the age of 63 and slept in the ground with the late emperor.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the mission. One thousand six hundred points have been credited. Please prepare to go to the next small world."
The moment Gu Wanying closed her eyes, the mechanical voice of the fertility system sounded in her mind.
Before Gu Wanying could say anything, a flash of white light passed before her eyes, and she was thrown into a white tunnel...
