Chapter 1 Before Separation
"Miss, it's time to get up." Ningshuang's gentle call sounded in the room.
Song Yuning slowly opened her eyes and looked at the familiar blue and white tent above her head. She couldn't help but sigh softly, then sat up from the warm quilt.
Even though she has been in this world for three years, she still fantasizes that one day she will open her eyes and return to the modern era.
Ningshuang and Yuejian carefully helped her put on her clothes, while Nanny Wei came over with a basin of warm water and a clean towel, and gently wiped Song Yuning's face.
The three of them were very careful but quick, and soon they had dressed her up.
Then, they led Song Yuning to Mrs. Wei's room together.
"Greetings to mother." Song Yuning bowed to Madam Wei, who was looking at him with a smile on her face, and performed a standard greeting.
Mrs. Wei tried hard to force a smile on her face, which was as pale as paper. She hurriedly pulled Song Yuning to sit beside her, and at the same time stretched out a hand and gently stroked Song Yuning's forehead.
"Thank God, the fever is finally gone. How could you have known that you had a high fever for the past few days and I was almost worried to death."
Thinking back to Song Yuning's heart-wrenching appearance a few days ago, Mrs. Wei is still frightened.
Song Yuning pursed her lips slightly, a faint smile appearing at the corner of her mouth, but she didn't say anything.
Seeing Song Yuning's behavior, Madam Wei felt a pang of sadness in her heart, and her eyes instantly became moist and red. She held Song Yuning's hands tightly, and said with a slightly trembling voice: "It's all my fault. If I could keep you by my side forever, I would never let go...
But, Yuning, there's nothing I can do. I'm sorry for you." Madam Wei's face was filled with pain as she hugged Song Yuning tightly into her arms.
Song Yuning's nose couldn't help but feel a little sore. She silently buried her head in Mrs. Wei's arms and stayed there quietly for a long time before raising her head again.
He whispered, "Mother, when I return to the Song Mansion, please find an opportunity to set fire to this place, then pretend to be dead and leave.
I know you are not having a happy life here, and it's because of me that you can't bear to leave.
Now, I am going back to the Song Mansion, and you can get away from here and live a good life somewhere where no one knows you."
Mrs. Wei used to be so simple and innocent, but after being deceived by Song Yuning's biological father Song Hongzhi and forced to become his concubine for eight years, no matter how naive she was, she was able to figure out some things.
Not to mention, two years ago, Song Yuning brought back a nanny who had served in the palace from Ren Yazi. Through that nanny, Mrs. Wei really learned a lot.
“After you leave, I will fake my death and leave. I will never stay here any longer.
Without me, you will no longer have any constraints or worries, and they will no longer be able to use me to threaten you." Mrs. Wei said with tears streaming down her face.
"Mother, you must stay far away. Before I get married, you must not show up and you must not let them find any clues.
Song Hongzhi is a heartless person! He only loves himself. Don't expect him to let you go easily just because of our old friendship!
At this moment, Mrs. Wei was only concerned with hugging Song Yuning tightly and crying bitterly, and had no time to care that her daughter was mercilessly scolding her biological father.
After all, the facts are before us. Song Hongzhi is indeed an utterly cruel person. His decision to bring Song Yuning into the Song Mansion this time was obviously malicious and had no good intentions.
Otherwise, he should have sent someone to pick her up as soon as Song Yuning was born.
The more Mrs. Wei thought about it, the sadder she felt, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.
"My child, the deeds to the small shop in the south of the city and the farm outside the city are all here, as well as the indenture of the manager. Keep them all safe.
These are all the things your mother can give you. When you return to the Song Mansion, you must have some money with you, so you must keep it well.
As for me, you don't have to worry too much. I have a skill, so I won't go hungry wherever I go."
Mrs. Wei handed a small box to Song Yuning and told her to keep it close to her.
Song Yuning knew very well that the items in the box were of vital importance to her, and she really needed them now, so she took it without hesitation.
"Mom, after you escape, you'd better not embroider double-sided embroidery. I'm worried that once someone finds out, they will follow the clues and eventually find you." Song Yuning said earnestly.
Mrs. Wei is best at double-sided embroidery, an ancestral craft. Her needlework is unique and the embroidery is exquisite, which is rare in the world.
However, precisely because it is so unique, using it is more likely to attract the attention and suspicion of others.
Madam Wei forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, Mother understands the stakes involved. She will definitely keep this skill hidden and won't give those people any chance to find me."
She was well aware of the importance of protecting her own safety and was determined not to reveal any flaws, not only for herself, but also for Song Yuning.
If she were still alive, the Song family would definitely control her and force Song Yuning to do things she didn't want to do.
So in order to let Song Yuning have no worries, she had to hide herself well.
The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried for a long time. Finally, someone came from the Song Mansion. It was Nanny Li, who was by the side of Old Madam Song.
"Is this Miss Nine? I pay my respects to Miss Nine." As soon as Nanny Li entered the room, she looked at Song Yuning, then smiled and half-booed.
Song Yuning personally helped her up: "Madam, there's no need to be so polite."
Nanny Li's smile deepened a little, and she patted Song Yuning's hand: "Miss Nine is so pretty. When we get home, the master and the mistress will definitely like her very much."
Song Yuning lowered her head and smiled shyly, with a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
A flicker of satisfaction crossed Li Ma's face. She turned around, smiled at Madam Wei, and asked softly, "Have Miss Nine's boxes been packed?
If everything is ready, I can take Miss Nine back home. The master and the old lady are waiting for you."
Madam Wei forced a smile and said with a hint of reluctance, "Everything is ready. Yuning, when you return home, you must be well-behaved and sensible, and do your best to honor the master and the old lady. Do you understand?"
"Yes, mother. I'm leaving soon, please take care of yourself." Song Yuning's eyes were slightly red and her voice was trembling slightly.
Although she is not the real Song Yuning, the love and care that Mrs. Wei has given her over the past three years since she traveled here at the age of five has been extremely sincere.
She had long considered Madam Wei her biological mother, and after parting today, she was afraid that they would never see each other again. How could Song Yuning not be sad?
