Dexi carefully protected her, respectfully helping her to sit down inside the house before saying a few comforting words and then leaving.
Jiang Xianhao's expression, however, was not very good.
His face was pale, and there was a dark patch under his eyes.
Shen Hechuan frowned and asked directly.
"Is Mother feeling unwell?"
Jiang Xianhao paused for a moment, then her eyes reddened.
Over the years, she has not been close to Shen Hechuan, nor has she ever shown him any concern.
She has never fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother for even a single day.
But I never expected to meet Shen Hechuan today.
His first words were surprisingly about his own health.
This stirred her heart, and she remained silent for a moment before suppressing the turmoil within her.
Shen Hechuan remained silent.
Jingtan and Yunshu had already gone out after Dexi left.
There were only Jiang Xianhao and Shen Hechuan in the room.
After a moment, Jiang Xianhao slowly spoke.
"Hechuan, have you... ever resented your mother?"
Shen Hechuan slowly shook his head.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xianhao smiled contentedly, but tears instantly streamed down her face.
She slowly stood up, took a few steps forward, and wanted to get a closer look at Shen Hechuan.
Even more so... she wanted to hug her son, whom she rarely saw.
However, the years of unfamiliarity left both of them somewhat at a loss.
Jiang Xianhao simply took a few steps back, sat down, and then waved his hand.
"I don't have anything to do. I just haven't seen you for years, so I wanted to see what you look like now."
As Jiang Xianhao spoke, a gentler smile appeared on her lips.
"Fortunately, you're still the same as before."
"Seeing you doing so well, your mother is relieved."
My son! Don't worry, I will avenge you for all the injustices you've suffered over the years.
Shen Hechuan nodded, and seeing that Jiang Xian was alright, he bowed and took his leave.
However, after he reached the door, he couldn't help but turn back and glance at Jiang Xianhao.
She sat there, a gentle smile on her lips, looking at him with love.
It was as if he was her whole world.
Actually, when Jiang Xianhao asked him just now, Shen Hechuan hesitated for a moment.
Because in those days and nights filled with grievances.
He had moments when he resented her.
He couldn't understand why, even though he had a mother, she never liked him.
I don't care about him.
She would never say another word to him.
When he was young, he secretly came to see Jiang Xianhao.
However, Jiang Xianhao only gave him a piece of candy and then let him leave.
Moreover, she instructed him not to come looking for her on his own.
Later, she even told him that she didn't like him.
I prefer to be alone.
From then on, Shen Hechuan would only visit her secretly.
Sometimes they perch on the top of the wall, sometimes they perch on the tree.
Sometimes they would crawl through a dog hole and then secretly watch Jiangxi and Jiang Xianhao from a corner.
Sometimes she would fall asleep, and only sneak back after waking up.
Later, as he grew older, he understood many things and learned many principles.
He couldn't squeeze through that dog hole anymore.
After that, he never went to see Jiang Xianhao again.
However, he had already understood by then.
Jiang Xianhao loves him.
Because the way she looked at him was the same as it is now.
Therefore, he said that he had never resented Jiang Xianhao.
Because he always believed that there must have been some unavoidable reason why Jiang Xianhao acted this way.
After Shen Hechuan left...
Jiang Xianhao, who had been barely managing to remain calm, could no longer hold back. She bent over and vomited up everything in her stomach again.
She vomited violently, and her little face turned ashen yellow.
Yun Shu was terrified when she saw this and insisted on going to fetch the imperial physician for Jiang Xianhao, but Jiang Xianhao refused.
Instead, he instructed them to prepare a bucket of hot water.
Jiang Xianhao soaked in the bucket of water and washed herself inside and out several times until her body turned bright red before she came out.
After coming out, she was so weak that she lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
After leaving Jingyu Palace and Jingyu Palace, Shen Hechuan was in a good mood and hurriedly went to the Yong'an Marquis's residence.
But what they found upon arriving was the ruins of the Marquis's mansion gate.
He was surprised for a moment, then immediately went to the familiar wall and quickly climbed over it.
However, once inside, there were no traps or mechanisms, only solid ground and a messy, desolate courtyard.
This made Shen Hechuan frown.
He immediately flipped it over, interrupting to let Tianji investigate what had happened.
But before he could even speak, he heard Tianji say:
"My lord, I just heard from the local people that the Marquis of Yong'an's mansion has actually driven Miss Gu away."
Shen Hechuan frowned as he heard the complete story from Tianji.
While feeling resentful, I also breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he truly hated the actions of the Marquis of Yong'an's family.
However, the current Yong'an Marquis's residence cannot be dealt with directly.
So, after thinking for a moment, he simply set fire to the courtyard where Gu Jingchun was, burning it down.
Not satisfied with burning one place, they set off another fire in the main courtyard.
After doing all this, he learned the address of Gu Jingchun's new house from Tianji and rushed over there.
Poor Chu Qianlan had just come out of Gu Jingchun's courtyard when she saw a fire suddenly break out behind her.
She was startled and immediately ordered people to put out the fire.
The fire was finally extinguished.
She saw that most of the courtyard had been burned down, making it uninhabitable and requiring a lot of money to repair.
She was furious, and her heart ached terribly.
But when he returned to his own yard, he found that his yard was also on fire.
Moreover, the fire was even larger than that in Gu Jingchun's courtyard.
As she watched the room where she kept her silver notes being almost engulfed by flames, everything went black before her eyes, and she lost consciousness.
Unfortunately, neither Shen Hechuan nor Gu Jingchun knew any of this.
At this moment, Shen Hechuan was looking at Gu Jingchun with great joy, raising his eyebrows smugly.
"It's only been a few days, but your skill in throwing yourself into my arms has become even more refined than before."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun gave him a shove.
When did you ever see me throw myself into your arms?
Shen Hechuan pretended to take several steps back, looking as if he had been pushed out of the way by Gu Jingchun and was internally injured.
"Of course, it's seen with both eyes."
Gu Jingchun rolled his eyes when he saw him like this.
"If the officials of the court knew that their respected Crown Prince was like this in private, they would probably immediately start discussing re-electing the Crown Prince."
Upon hearing this, Shen Hechuan stepped forward and, ignoring Gu Jingchun's struggles, immediately embraced her.
