The sacred tree is about to pass, and the cannon fodder's wish countdown is coming

Shen Yusang stood quietly outside the magnificent and solemn gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, looking up at the plaque hanging high above the door, and suddenly felt a little timid.

At this moment, his lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he could not find the right words to open the door to return home.

At this moment, the wife and husband of the Duke of Zhenguo slowly walked out of the door as if they had telepathy.

When their eyes fell on Shen Yusang's figure, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo instantly showed a look of surprise and ran towards him hurriedly.

In the blink of an eye, he came to Shen Yusang, opened his arms without hesitation and hugged him tightly, tears falling like a broken dam.

Shen Yusang was at a loss as he watched the man in front of him, who was a head shorter than him, crying loudly. The words he wanted to say were suddenly stuck.

Seeing this, the Duke of Zhenguo Shen Ji seemed relatively calm.

She was worried that such an eye-catching scene would attract too much attention from passers-by, so she quickly reached out and pulled the two of them into the mansion.

After entering the mansion, Shen Yusang calmed down a bit and asked first, "Mom, Dad, was there something wrong with you leaving the mansion just now?"

At this time, the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo was still immersed in the joy of reuniting with her son. She kept wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, choking with sobs and unable to speak.

Seeing this, Shen Ji sighed softly, and then answered for him: "Prince An sent someone to inform us in advance that you would be back at noon today."

"So after discussing it with your father, I decided to go out and wait for you. I never thought we would run into each other by such a coincidence."

At this point, the Duke of Zhenguo's wife finally calmed down a bit. She stopped crying and took Shen Yusang's hand, examining it carefully.

However, just as he shook her hand, his eyes became moist again, and he couldn't help sobbing again, "You've become so thin... Xiao Sang, tell me, are you having a hard time out there? Did that Prince An treat you badly?"

Before Shen Yusang could answer, he answered on his own, "Prince An must be displeased with you because you ran away from his marriage. He must be treating you badly."

"Your mother gave her most of the family fortune, even the purple saliva grass, and yet he still dared to treat you like this."

Shen Yusang jokingly defended Lu Shi, "No, I'm not thin at all. I'm almost fat."

Shen Ji also said, "His father, you are too concerned. I think Sang'er has become much rounder than before!"

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo burst into laughter because of the two people's singing in unison.

"It's good that you're fat. From now on, your mother and I won't force you. Your mother has asked His Majesty for your permission. From now on, you can decide your marriage yourself."

After saying that, he touched Shen Yusang's head lovingly.

He then added, "Not only that, His Majesty even personally issued an imperial decree. It states that if you have someone you like, you only need to tell her, and she will grant you a marriage."

Shen Yusang was a little surprised, "Why...did you agree to any conditions?"

Shen Ji also shook his head in confusion and replied, "I have never agreed to any conditions."

"Perhaps, Her Majesty feels she owes you something for the marriage you granted Prince An, and wants to take this opportunity to make amends."

They all knew what the Queen's intention was when she arranged the marriage between Shen Yusang and Lu Shi. However, as subjects, they had no choice but to obey even though they were reluctant.

Later, Shen Yusang's escape from marriage was beyond their calculations, which caused the royal family to lose face. Their Zhenguo Mansion also paid the price for it - most of the wealth accumulated by generations of hard work was lost.

I think Her Majesty the Queen may have realized that her previous actions were indeed excessive, so she specially granted Shen Yusang such a privilege.

This privilege was exactly what Shen Yusang had always dreamed of, and it perfectly solved one of the problems that had been troubling him.

And the problem he was most worried about...

After taking a deep breath, Shen Yusang slowly raised his eyes, looking directly into the eyes of the Duke of Zhenguo and his wife with a firm and unflinching gaze.

At this moment, the entire courtyard seemed to have stopped in time, and the only sound was the rustling of leaves in the breeze.

Finally, Shen Yusang broke the silence with a slightly trembling but extremely clear voice.

"Although it's hard to believe, I'm still sorry to confess the truth to you. I'm actually... not your child."

"To be precise, this body belongs to your child, but the soul is not."

As soon as he finished speaking, expressions of extreme astonishment and disbelief appeared on the faces of the Duke and his wife.

They stared with wide eyes at the familiar yet unfamiliar person in front of them.

Faced with such a shocking truth, Shen Yusang decided to go all out and tell everything at once.

"I live in another world. Something happened to me, and my soul has taken over this body."

"And your children should be in my world, in my body."

"..."

After he finished speaking, a deathly silence fell all around him. Even the air seemed to freeze, becoming so heavy that it felt suffocating.

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo suddenly fell down on the stone table in the yard. Her face was as pale as paper, her chest was heaving up and down violently, and her breathing became extremely rapid.

Shen Yusang quickly reached out and gently patted his back, trying to help him calm down and relieve his tension.

But at this moment, Shen Yusang himself was also extremely upset, his mind was blank, so much so that he couldn't even think of a word to comfort the other person.

In comparison, Shen Ji on the side seemed a little calmer.

Although her heart was in turmoil, she tried hard to control her emotions, pretending to be calm and even making a joke.

"No wonder your personality has changed so much since you ran away from your marriage. You're like two completely different people. It turns out you're really not the same person anymore..."

She smiled at Shen Yusang with the attitude of a head of the family, but the forced smile was extremely ugly.

After a while, perhaps realizing that her smile was too fake, she simply put away her smile and sat down on the chair side by side with the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, her eyes empty and lifeless.

Shen Yusang standing aside was as quiet as a sculpture, not moving at all.

Time passed by minute by minute, and no one knew how long it had been. It was so long that Shen Yusang felt that his legs had become numb and he had lost consciousness.

Shen Ji, who had been silent all the time, finally broke the silence.

"Child, can you tell us what the world you come from is like?"

Hearing this, Shen Yusang was slightly startled at first, then nodded gently and replied: "Okay..."

"Let's sit down and talk. It's tiring to stand."

Shen Yusang responded in a low voice: "Yeah."

Then he sat down as he was told.

At this moment, he suddenly felt an inexplicable sourness in his eyes.

Although the two people in front of him were not his parents, they really looked like his parents.

After calming down a little, Shen Yusang began to slowly describe the world he lived in.

He first started with the macro aspects of the world's environment and social atmosphere, and then described in detail the daily life of ordinary families.

From advocating for gender equality to discussing unique and novel marriage values...

Shen Ji's wife and husband listened intently.

Does such a world really exist?

"So, what about your family?"

"My family is a bit like yours. My mother resembles the Madam, and my father resembles the Duke. They are all descendants of a medical family. They are gentle and polite to others, and they have a very grand reputation in our area."

"Then our children should be better off than they are now."

The tone of the Lady of Zhenguo was filled with relief and joy, and her thoughts drifted far away, as if she had broken through the shackles of time and space in an instant. She actually saw a child in another world smiling at her happily.

The child comforted them and told them not to worry, and also reminded them to take good care of the other child left in this world.

"Madam, are you okay..." Shen Yusang asked with some concern.

"I am fine."

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo slowly took Shen Yusang's hand, her voice very soft and loving.

"Since you said we are like your mother and father, if you don't mind, how about we become your relatives in this world? You can still call me dad like before."

Shen Ji, who was standing beside him, quickly echoed, "Call me mother."

Shen Yusang was stunned.

"it is good."

"Mother, father."

Their words were like a golden key, successfully unlocking the knot that had troubled him for a long time.

From then on, Shen Yusang had a home in this world.

Both Shen Yusangs have families.

……

Although I have returned home, I still have to abide by the agreement with Lu Shi.

Shen Yusang would have lunch at the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion every day at noon, and then take a carriage to Prince An's Mansion to treat Prince An's illness.

Shen Ji's wife and husband were shocked when they learned that Shen Yusang had perfectly inherited the family's medical skills.

It was not until Shen Yusang showed off her skills in front of them and cured all the hidden injuries that Shen Ji had suffered from years of fighting that they became extremely proud again.

Later, in order to make the matter seem more reasonable, Shen Yusang made up another white lie.

Shen Ji's wife and husband also believed the lie he made up, "He met Doctor Bai on the road, and Doctor Bai was about to die, so they passed the title of Doctor Bai to him."

So they no longer paid much attention to his treatment of Prince An's leg injury.

The relationship between Shen Yusang and Lu Shi has completely cooled down since the day Shen Yusang said she wanted to move out.

Even though they were in the same space for half an hour every day, they never took the initiative to speak to each other.

Shen Yusang was concentrating on reading his medical book, while Lu Shi closed her eyes and enjoyed her medicinal bath.

It's just that the careless Cheng Ze occasionally intervenes between the two of them, inadvertently trying to repair their relationship.

On an ordinary day, Cheng Ze first cast his gaze at Shen Yusang, and then turned to Lu Shi. After looking at them repeatedly, he finally couldn't hold back his thoughts and expressed the guess that had been hidden in his heart.

"Yu Sang, it seems that your relationship with the prince has become much more distant. When I first met you, I felt that you liked Xiao Xiao, but now you two are like strangers."

Shen Yusang's body suddenly stiffened, and she almost blurted out: "I don't like her!"

In an instant, the air in the room seemed to freeze, and a suffocating silence enveloped everyone present.
