Chapter 88 I Don't Want to Be a Bastard's Son
Ningbao knew her father was worried about her, so she earnestly gave Mu Chunping some instructions.
"Father, don't worry, the place I'm going to isn't far from here. It's just that the yin energy there is too heavy, so it's inconvenient to take you there. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
After calming Mu Chunping down, Ning Bao first put Gu Ying into the Soul-Locking Talisman, then took out her unused Flying Talisman and spoke to Gu Ying inside the Soul-Locking Talisman.
"Did you know your child is also in this mountain?"
Gu Ying shook her head and then nodded.
"When I miscarried, I had my trusted maid find a place with excellent feng shui to bury the clothes, shoes and socks I had prepared for the child, which was like making a cenotaph for her."
But my girl said that on her way there, her cousin from the summer sent people to rob her things and throw them into the mountains.
According to the route, the child's belongings should have been left in this mountain, which is why I came here after I died.
But I've searched this mountain so many times and haven't found anything at all.
Ning Bao frowned.
"He wasn't on this mountain, but he wasn't far away either, on another mountain nearby. It seems the child's spirit came out following his belongings."
The spirit of a fetus is the purest and most innocent; it might also be looking for its mother. Let's go, I'll take you there.
Ning Bao immediately activated the flying talisman, and the scene instantly switched to another mountain.
Ning Bao released Gu Ying from the soul-locking talisman. Gu Ying was a spirit, so of course she could see her own kind.
As soon as she stood still, she saw a chubby-faced little boy emerge from the woods. The clothes he was wearing were the ones she had sewn by hand for her own child.
Upon realizing that the little ghost in front of her was her own child, Gu Ying instantly burst into tears, though the ghost's tears were black and looked rather terrifying.
The little boy looked at Gu Ying, whose face was tilted up innocently.
"Who are you? Can you take me to my mother? Everyone else has a mother, but I don't."
Gu Ying bent down and hugged the child in her arms.
“Baby, I am your mother. I’m sorry I’m late, I’m so sorry…”
Bao'er raised her little face and looked at Gu Ying.
"My name is Bao'er? Are you really my mother?"
Gu Ying nodded solemnly. Bao'er jumped up excitedly upon receiving the affirmative answer and happily spun around Gu Ying.
“I have a name now, I have a mother now, I’m not a nameless, fatherless, motherless ghost, I have a mother…”
Ningbao was also a motherless child, so she could understand Bao'er's feelings very well.
This is why, even though she could have quietly sent him to be reincarnated, she made them recognize each other before sending him to be reincarnated.
Because she knew how much a motherless child longed for maternal love, even for just a moment…
Gu Ying looked up at Ning Bao with tears streaming down her face.
"Grandma, I can't bear to part with Bao'er, can I...?"
Ning Bao shook her head.
"No, Gu Ying, you should know that you have committed grave sins. For the past ten years, in order to stay in the mortal world, you have been constantly absorbing the essence of men. Over the years, you have killed at least eighty or a hundred people."
I tried to find a way for you to see Bao'er to fulfill your wish, and also because you are a kind person.
The punishment for you cannot be changed or shown leniency. You should know that there are only two paths for Bao'er to continue following you: either become a wandering soul in the mortal world or go to the underworld to experience the eighteen levels of hell.
Neither of these options is as good as sending him to be reincarnated. Don't worry, Bao'er will have a good next life. He will have a harmonious family, loving parents, high official rank and great wealth, a loving husband and wife, many children and grandchildren, and die a peaceful death...
After hearing Ning Bao's words, Gu Ying nodded with difficulty.
"Alright, I'll be at ease if Bao'er has a good life in her next life. Thank you, Grandma!"
Gu Ying and Bao'er spent some more time together. Ning Bao glanced at the time and frowned.
“Gu Ying, I originally wanted you to spend three days with Bao’er, but things have changed. The best time for Bao’er to be reincarnated is now, you see…”
Gu Ying was stunned for a moment.
What would happen if we didn't go this time but went again in three days?
Ning Bao calculated it carefully again.
"Today is the best day. If you send him now, everything will go smoothly for him, just as I said before: a harmonious family, loving parents, high official rank and generous salary, loving husband and wife, many children and grandchildren, and a peaceful death."
If he goes again in three days, he will be a son of a concubine and will have to go through a lot of hardship to get what he wants...
“Let’s not wait any longer, let’s go now…” Gu Ying looked at Bao’er with a face full of reluctance.
Although she wanted to spend a few more days with Bao'er, she didn't want him to suffer so much in his next life. Just thinking about it made her realize how difficult life would be for a son born out of wedlock...
