On the day of my tragic death, I was reborn and married to the Regent

As soon as Mrs. Jiang came in, she spoke in a very kind tone and praised Jiang Nian from beginning to end.

Even Feng said some good things.

Although she knew that none of them were sincere, it did make her feel better.

But, some things just need to be put on hold.

"Grandmother, this is my first time visiting mother. It's inappropriate to bring people from the mansion with me on my first visit. I'm afraid the princess will be unhappy. I'll go visit mother first. With the princess's permission, I can go next time."

Originally, when she heard that Jiang Nian was unwilling to take Feng with him, Old Lady Jiang was somewhat displeased. However, when she heard that the princess had been unhappy and still agreed to come next time, she immediately asked, "When is the next time?"

"You'll have to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess to find out. Grandma, don't worry. I'm doing this for my father and won't forget."

Old Madam Jiang was instantly happy. She held Jiang Nian's hand and called her her good granddaughter. Jiang Nian got goosebumps all over her body.

After sending the two away, Jiang Nian got dressed and went out.

The carriage from the princess's mansion arrived quickly as pedestrians on the street gave way.

Princess Huaining instructed her subordinates in advance to lead Jiang Nian directly to Lin's residence.

The princess's mansion is even more magnificent than the Prince of Jin's mansion. Lin's residence is very large. Although it is autumn now and it is still warm outside, the princess values Lin's health and has placed a brazier in the room, which is made of the best golden charcoal.

The maids withdrew, leaving time for the two to talk.

Mrs. Lin received a letter from her daughter yesterday and thought something bad had happened, so she rushed to see her.

"Don't worry, mother. I'm fine. I do miss you, but... I do need your help with something."

"We mother and daughter, what's there to talk about? Just tell me, I'll listen to you."

"It's nothing serious, actually. I just wanted my mother to pretend to be sick for a few days so that my daughter could come visit."

Lin was puzzled: "What can't be said today?"

"I will bring Feng with me then. Mother, you just need to pretend to be unwell and rest in your room."

Hearing Feng's words, Lin bit her lip, knowing that her daughter was going to do something dangerous again.

"Niannian, you must be careful."

"Don't worry, mother. I will be careful, and..."

Jiang Nian's lips trembled slightly, as if he had something on his mind, but he couldn't speak for several times.

Mrs. Lin could see that her daughter had something to say. She stroked her head and said gently, "Just say it if you have something to say. Why are you being so polite to me?"

"...Mother, in your heart, what is it that you cannot accept no matter what?"

Lin was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment: "There's nothing I can't accept now. If I have to say, the people I miss most are your grandfather and your uncles. I just hope your grandfather can hold on until I go see him."

Jiang Nian felt relieved when he found out that Jiang Mingyuan was not mentioned.

But even if she didn't mention it, Jiang Nian knew that his mother was sad.

Her own son was not close to her when he was a child, and she has not seen him for ten years. Now that he has come out of the Buddhist temple, he is unwilling to come to see her.

"Mom, there is something I want to tell you. It's about my eldest brother."

"Mingyuan? What happened?"

Jiang Nian shook her head. "Nothing happened. It's just that I'm afraid that I won't be able to accept this matter for a while."

Seeing her daughter so serious, Mrs. Lin was mentally prepared. She had not seen her son since she left the Buddhist temple.

If the past ten years in the Buddhist temple were hindered by family members, what about these few days?

Lin actually knew in her heart that her son didn't want to recognize her.

"Tell me, no matter what happens, I can bear it."

Jiang Nian clenched his hands tightly, his heart hardened: "Mom, actually, big brother...is not my biological big brother at all."

This made Lin Shi confused. What did it mean that he was not her biological brother? Jiang Mingyuan was born after ten months of pregnancy.

"Mother, when you gave birth to your child, your father secretly replaced it. Jiang Mingyuan is not your biological son at all, but your concubine's son."

Jiang Nian has been hesitating these days about whether to tell the truth, but after thinking it over again and again, he still doesn't want to hide it.

Her mother has the right to know. It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one. Her mother is the most pitiful one because she has been deceived by the Jiang family.

Mrs. Lin didn't react for a moment, and Jiang Nian continued, "Mother, don't be sad for Jiang Mingyuan. He is not your son at all, and he is not worth your sadness."

After a long time, Lin finally responded and asked in a hoarse voice, "What did you say?"

Jiang Nian's nose was sore. "Mom, there is not a single good person in the Jiang family. They were afraid that if you gave birth to a son, the Jiang family would fall into the hands of the Lin family in the future, so they replaced my eldest brother. The one you have been thinking about for so many years is just an illegitimate child."

Jiang Nian held his mother's hand, which was covered with sores and cracks. It was scratched just by holding it.

Waiting for my mother to slowly digest this shocking news, I gently stroked her back.

Jiang Nian thought that Lin fainted after hearing the news, but her mother was stronger than she thought.

He just asked with red eyes: "Niannian, how do you know?"

Jiang Nian had already thought of an explanation: "Grandmother and Father were talking that day, and I heard it."

Lin's hands couldn't help but tremble: "Does your grandmother also know about this?"

"More than just knowing?"

"If father wanted to replace the Jiang family's legitimate son, how could he do it so quietly without grandmother's secret help?"

Lin's lips couldn't help but tremble, as if she saw through something. After a long time, she let out a long breath.

He gave a bitter laugh and said, "What on earth have I lived my life for?"

She suffered for ten years for her son, but at the end she found out that he was not her biological son.

The Jiang family went to great lengths to marry her. If they were afraid that the Lin family would take over the Jiang Mansion, why did they marry her in the first place?

Since they are husband and wife, even if they have no feelings for each other anymore, why should they be so defensive?

Suddenly remembering something, he grabbed Jiang Nian's hand and said, "Niannian, what about my son? Where is my son?"

"Don't worry, mother. I will do my best to find my elder brother."

She didn't dare to say that she would find it for sure, she could only leave a thought for her mother, thinking that it was always good to have hope.

What if, what if that person is still alive.

But Jiang Nian also knew that given Jiang Dechang's cruelty, her elder brother would probably have died the moment he was replaced.

Lin was also a smart person. He knew it was hopeless when he heard this.

Tears could no longer be stopped and she leaned against Jiang Nian and cried as if to vent her feelings.

I didn't dare to say a word. Listening to my mother's sobs, I felt like my heart was being stabbed by a knife.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin finally got tired of crying, and Jiang Nian helped her to rest.

After covering himself with the quilt and tucking in the corners, Jiang Nian sat by the bed to accompany his mother.

There was not a single spot on his hands that was undamaged, and his face looked more haggard than that of a man in his fifties.

She was only in her thirties, clearly in the prime of her life, but in her previous life she wasted most of her life in the Jiang family until her death.

Jiang Nian tried hard not to let her tears fall, so, how could she not hate him? How could this make her not hate him?
