Song Que patted Shen Qingli's back gently.
Shen Qingli said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Incontinence of tears."
Song Que understood immediately. Yes, her eldest son's current body was incontinent and he couldn't stop crying once he started. The more he cried, the more pitiful he looked, the kind of pitiful that made others want to cry along with him.
Song Que looked at Shen Muchen, "Sister, do I need to avoid it?"
Shen Qingli nodded, "Please help me look after the two children. My father and I have something to discuss."
"Okay." Song Que responded, nodded to Shen Muchen, and went back to the room to see the child.
In the living room, only Shen Muchen and Shen Qingli were left.
After a while, Shen Muchen finally spoke, "Ali, you have been wronged over the years."
Shen Qingli wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"I don't feel so wronged actually. I really thought my mom was gone before. I didn't feel wronged at that time, I just felt sad. I didn't know where you were, and I didn't know if you were still alive."
"The only relative I care about is my mother. My uncle and aunt's family always bully us. Only my grandmother would occasionally speak up for us."
"Later I found out that my grandmother wasn't really helping me. She was just coveting the property left by the Shen family."
"How did you marry Zhou Yubai?" Shen Muchen hesitated for a moment, but still asked.
"I almost died..." Shen Qingli lowered her eyes and talked about the past.
"They drugged the water in Yubai and me, locked us up together, and then brought a group of people to catch us in adultery."
"I escaped through the secret passage of Yu Bai's house. If I hadn't escaped at that time, we would both be infamous."
"I was in very poor health, and that medicine almost killed me."
"When I left Yu Bai's house through the secret passage, I went straight into the mountains. There were two rare herbs at the entrance of the secret passage. The herbs are good for my body. I ate them and had the energy to go back and save Yu Bai."
"That day I severed my ties with Li Qiushou and his family, and then got married to Yu Bai."
Shen Qingli paused, and finally said, "On the day Yu Bai and I got our marriage certificate, Brother Qi Chuan went to the countryside."
After Shen Qingli finished speaking, Shen Muchen's heart shook violently.
He recalled Gu Qichuan's anguished look, and he said it was only one day away.
If Gu Qichuan had come one day earlier, would Li Qiushuo's family not have plotted against his A Li and Zhou Yubai? If there hadn't been that plot, and A Li had waited for Gu Qichuan, would A Li have been happy too?
"You, you and Zhou Yubai..." Shen Muchen's voice trembled a little, "Ali, if you want to leave Zhou Yubai and return to Qi Chuan, I think he is willing."
Shen Qingli shook her head, "I don't want to. Yu Bai and I developed feelings for each other. The person I love now is him. We have a child and our family lives happily. But I am destined to let Brother Qi Chuan down."
Shen Muchen sighed for a long time. This was fate. Gu Qichuan and A Li were just not destined to be together.
Shen Muchen looked at Shen Qingli, "Ali, your mother..."
"My mother is dead." Shen Qingli said firmly.
Shen Muchen felt a sharp pain in his heart. He knew that with Ah Li's personality, she would never forgive Li Xue no matter what. She abandoned her under such circumstances.
"Dad, if my mom had told me that she couldn't stand the environment here and wanted to find you, I wouldn't have stopped her. But she lied to me like this, which was like pushing me to death."
"You know my body. If I can't bear it, I will die of illness, but she doesn't care at all. I even think she is actually looking forward to my death."
"If I die, she can return to you openly."
"It's like I'm a stepping stone to her happiness, but in fact I've never stopped her, and I don't think I've done anything wrong."
"I have been following your arrangements all along. You divorced me without consulting me. None of you told me what the future would be like. You brought me to Kaoshantun."
"You never gave me a chance to choose, but you let me bear the consequences. Why?"
"When I was hurt, in pain, and sad, no one was by my side, no one helped me. You brought me only suffering, and in the end you still wanted my forgiveness."
"Why should I forgive? What should I forgive? I can't forgive."
Shen Qingli became more and more excited as she spoke. Her hands were clenched tightly and her eyes were red. She growled helplessly like a bullied young beast.
Shen Muchen just felt as if his heart was torn apart.
"Ali, I'm sorry, it's Dad's fault. If Dad hadn't accepted that mission, you would still be a good girl from the Shen family, living well in the capital. It's Dad's fault for not making good arrangements, Dad..."
Shen Muchen was choked with sobs and couldn't continue speaking.
Shen Qingli looked at him, "Dad, you are right. The interests of the country are above all else. I do have this understanding."
"My lover is also a soldier. If he has to leave us to carry out the mission when necessary, I can accept it. Although I will be very painful, what I cannot accept is the harm and abandonment."
Shen Muchen was silent for a long time, "Ali, go back to Beijing with Dad."
"Dad, I'm already married. Wherever Yu Bai is, I'll be there."
"I will transfer Yu Bai back to the Beijing Military Region, and I can smooth things over with him." Shen Muchen said.
"I need to discuss this with Yu Bai. When Yu Bai was recalled to the army, the people there had already said that they wanted him to return to the Beijing Military Region."
"But the situation in the Beijing Military Region is more complicated. Yu Bai refused at that time. I don't know if he is willing to go back now. I don't want my father to force him to accept this in order to get me back."
Shen Qingli spoke quietly but firmly.
"I will ask for his opinion. If he doesn't want to, I won't force him." Shen Muchen said hurriedly. He didn't want his relationship with his daughter to become strained again.
A baby's laughter could be heard from the room.
Dabao and Erbao woke up, and Song Que fed them milk powder. The two little ones giggled and they both liked Aunt Que very much.
Hearing the children's laughter, Shen Muchen couldn't sit still anymore. He looked at Shen Qingli and asked, "Ali, can I go see the children?"
"Okay." Shen Qingli stood up and took Shen Muchen into the room.
When the two little ones saw their mother, they reached out to her for a hug.
Seeing the stranger Shen Muchen next to Shen Qingli, the two kids were stunned.
Then Dabao said "ah" to Shen Muchen first.
Shen Muchen burst into tears immediately, "What are the names of the two babies?"
"The first treasure is Zhou Yanshen, and the second treasure is Shen Yanchi."
"Second treasure, your surname is Shen?" Shen Muchen asked excitedly.
He looked at Shen Qingli who seemed to not believe him, and asked again, "Does Erbao have the same surname as us, Shen?"
Shen Qingli nodded, "Yu Bai and I have discussed it. One baby will take his last name, and the other baby will take my last name."
Shen Muchen spoke solemnly after a while, "It seems that Zhou Yubai really loves you."
"We have a good relationship, a stable marital relationship, a harmonious family, and our adopted children are very cute. We take care of each other."
Shen Qingli wanted to say that when danger really happens, no one will abandon anyone, and only those who stick together are a true family.
But when she saw Shen Muchen's expression, she finally swallowed the words back.
She knew that Ali really liked this father in her heart.
