At this time, Liu Ruoyu was rushing back to Lecheng without any obstruction.

As time went by, Cang Jing still showed no signs of waking up, and she became more and more panicked.

She kept talking to Cang Qiong along the way, but no matter how she threatened or tempted him, Cang Qiong didn't react at all.

One month.

For the first time, she felt that time passed so quickly. One third of a month had passed without her noticing.

When she was three cities away from Lecheng, she met Madam Cang and Master Cang who came to pick them up.

Madam Cang stretched out her hand tremblingly. When she saw her once lively son lying there with a weak breath, Madam Cang, who always appeared strong, immediately had tears in her eyes.

Her straight shoulders slumped, and she seemed to have aged a lot in an instant.

"Little bastard, aren't you the most cheerful one on weekdays? Why are you lying here motionless now? Hurry up and get up! Don't think you don't have to manage the family business just because you pretend to be dead."

Her voice was choked with sobs, and she changed to a soft and coaxing voice, "My dear son, please get up. Don't scare me. I don't want to send someone young off."

But no matter what she said, Cang Jian never responded.

In the end, she couldn't help but lie on Cang Jian and burst into tears.

"lady."

Master Cang's eyes were red, "My son is still injured, please don't tear the wound open."

"Yes, my son is still injured. I can't touch him casually."

"lady."

Outside the carriage, Liu Ruoyu knelt on the ground with a thud. "He ended up like this because he was trying to save me. I'm the one who harmed him. You can beat me up or kill me if you want. It's up to you."

"Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about? Why would we do anything to you?"

Madam Cang quickly helped her up and said, "What did Divine Doctor Jiang say? Is there any way to wake him up? It doesn't matter how much money it costs. I can give all the Cang family's belongings as long as my son is safe."

Liu Ruoyu's eyes were sore. "Divine Doctor Jiang has used all the necessary medicine. He said that he is powerless and it all depends on whether Cang Jian can wake up within a month. If he can't wake up, then..."

She didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but everyone knew what she meant.

Madam Cang couldn't help crying out loud, "A month has passed, and now more than ten days have passed, doesn't that mean..."

She leaned on Master Cang's shoulder in grief and sobbed softly, "How could this happen? How could Jing'er encounter such a thing?"

"Don't be discouraged. There's still a lot of time left. Jing'er has loved you since childhood and will definitely not want to see you so sad."

Master Cang held his emotions at the critical moment and prevented everyone from falling into irretrievable grief.

Liu Ruoyu took out a dagger from her sleeve and said, "Madam, it's all my fault that I brought such disaster to the Cang family. If Cang Jian can't wake up, then you can use this dagger to send me to accompany him."

"How is this possible?"

Madam Cang shook her head sadly, "Do you think we would take our anger out on you because of his injury or death?"

Liu Ruoyu didn't say anything, which was considered as her agreement with this statement.

Even if she was venting her anger on others, it was perfectly normal. He was the only son of the Cang family, and his life was hanging by a thread for her. Whatever Mrs. Cang did would not be considered out of line.

"You worry too much, Ruoyu, we won't."

Madam Cang held her hand and said solemnly, "He was the one who wanted to go there with you, and he was the one who chose to save you and sacrifice himself. These were his own choices, so he should bear the consequences himself. We will not vent our anger on you."

Master Cang agreed, "Besides, you are the one he risked his life to save. He must want you to live well. How could we do such a thing?"

The people of the Cang family have always been clear about right and wrong.

This was something Liu Ruoyu had always known, but this understanding made her feel even more guilty, which was more painful than if someone had blamed her or even killed her.

Her nose felt sore and she couldn't help crying. How could she be so lucky to meet such a good family?

If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have let Cang Qiong get close to her. She is really a disaster. She should stay away from Cang Qiong.

"Okay, okay, stop crying like that. Our son hasn't left yet."

Master Cang couldn't help but stand up and said, "Let's not waste time here. Let's go back to Lecheng and see if there is any way to stimulate him to wake up."

"Yes, there is still hope for my son. We have to find a way."

Madam Cang wiped her tears and said, "Ruoyu, you continue to follow him in this carriage. We will follow behind you."

"Ah."

Liu Ruoyu nodded.

The group set out again, a heavy atmosphere lingering around them, and quickly headed towards Lecheng.

Two days later, they finally arrived in Lecheng.

When they returned to Cang Mansion, Song Zhi was already waiting there.

After placing the Cang Jian, Liu Ruoyu's eyes went dark and she fell to the ground.

During this period of time, she has been taking care of Cang Jian without sleep, and her body has long been unable to bear it.

But because she always had a belief to return to Lecheng, she was always supported to come back.

Now that she had arrived, the tension finally broke and she could no longer bear it.

Song Zhi stayed by Liu Ruoyu's bed, feeling very uncomfortable seeing this woman who was still the most beautiful woman in the world even though she looked extremely haggard.

Cang Jian's injury took everyone by surprise.

The imperial physicians in the palace took turns to examine the patient, and all of them shook their heads when they came to the conclusion.

Whether Cang Jian can wake up or not, the outside world can no longer help him. It all depends on his own willpower to overcome this difficulty.

Mrs. Cang cried until her tears dried up. She began to worship the gods and Buddhas, whom she had never believed in, to recite scriptures, to pray, and to beg the gods not to take her son away.

She kowtowed with every step of the 1,080 steps of the Wanfo Temple, until her waist felt like it was about to break from exhaustion, and her knees were bleeding from being rubbed.

Later, Liu Ruoyu also went along.

But after she knocked on the 1080 steps, Cang Jing still didn't wake up.

With only seven days left, everyone had almost lost hope.

"Let's get married."

Liu Ruoyu stood up, her eyes extremely determined.

Madam Cang was stunned for a moment, "Get married?"

"Yes, I want to use myself to bring him happiness."

They had no other options, so they at least had to fulfill his long-cherished wish and make another effort.

"No need."

Unexpectedly, Madam Cang shook her head and said, "Child, you... don't need to sacrifice the rest of your life. If he doesn't wake up, it will be bad for a widow. You are still young, and you have to consider your future."

"I've thought about it."

Liu Ruoyu remained determined. This was something she had to do.

She is a person who only cares about the present, so why bother about the future? If Cang Jian is gone, what future will she have?

It turned out that without her realizing it, Cang Jian had already seeped into her bones and blood, becoming an inseparable part of her.

She loved Cang Jian more than she had ever known before.

Come to think of it, she seemed to have never done anything for Cang Jian.

Well, let’s just call this one the first one.
