The day her husband welcomed the time-traveling girl into the house, she woke up

Do not……

To be precise, they were accusing each other in front of her in the dream.

But she in the dream had already turned into bones!

"I live in the academy now and only come back once a month. It's fine if I forgot to visit her, but you spend all day in the mansion embroidering or chasing butterflies, so idle. Why haven't you come to see her in all this time? No matter how miserable she is, she is still our biological mother! If outsiders knew that she had been dead for so long, and had turned to bones before we discovered her, I don't know how they would scold us!"

"Who says I'm either embroidering or chasing butterflies all day? I'm pretty busy too! Mother hasn't had a good appetite lately. The only thing she can eat for breakfast is the sea cucumber stew porridge I make. I have to get up before dawn every day to make porridge for her! Also, the Queen's birthday is coming up soon, and Mother wants to give her a painting of cranes, but Father says that Mother shed too many tears in her early years and her eyesight is not good, so he asked me to embroider it for her. I..."

"Stop making excuses! No matter how busy you are, you're still at home. I don't believe you can't spare any time if you think of her!"

"What about you? Every month when you go home, as long as you think of her and want to see her, you will definitely be able to make time to come! Why do you..."

"Miss, Miss! Miss!"

Nanny Gui's call woke Li Shu up from her dream. Seeing Nanny Gui standing outside the sedan with a worried look on her face, she was dazed for a moment.

Then she stood up and stepped out of the sedan chair and asked softly, "Did I just show a painful expression again?"

Nanny Gui nodded. "I called out through the curtain, but the young lady didn't respond. I guessed she might have fallen asleep. Then I lifted the curtain and looked inside. I saw her shaking her head slightly with a look of pain on her face. She seemed to be in a state of terror and couldn't wake up."

Li Shu frowned and subconsciously touched her stomach with the hot water bottle again.

The chill that had made her want to shiver was gone.

Instead, there was a bone-chilling chill in her heart.

In the dream, she was not discovered until she turned into bones.

How long does it take for a person to turn into bones after death?

A month?

Three months?

Or one or three years?

For such a long time, no one thought of her...

Thinking of her, my eyes couldn't help but turn red, and I was so sad that I almost cried.

Even though she was a bit stubborn, and she took Ning Jin and the others too seriously, and was a bit stupid, and never thought much about herself, she had never done anything that was against the law!

Why did it end up like that?

And those two kids...

That's it!

Thinking of the brother and sister who had quarreled fiercely in front of her remains, and no one shed a tear for her, she shook her head slightly and forced herself not to think about them.

They no longer exist.

She was wiped out from this world.

There is no need to think about them!

After returning to the room, she had just sat down on the soft couch when Aunt Gui brought her a bowl of donkey-hide gelatin, longan and red date soup, "Miss, please eat something to warm yourself up."

"Thank you, Madam. It seems that I will definitely be fattened up by you."

"It's better to be fatter. Being fatter is a blessing. Besides, Miss needs to be fatter to look better."

"..."

Li Shu smiled, drank a few mouthfuls of soup, and suddenly said, "Mammy, can you sleep with me tonight? I don't feel like being alone tonight..."

Aunt Gui was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of her eyes turned slightly red.

After the young lady was seven or eight years old, he no longer asked her to sleep with him in such a coquettish tone.

What kind of nightmare did I just have!

But she didn't ask, she just nodded with a look of distress, and then said: "Then Miss, please eat first. I will go take a bath to prevent my stench from bothering you."

"Mammy doesn't smell bad at all, she smells really good."

"..."

Aunt Gui felt a pang of pain in her heart again.

Once, she was so sick that she vomited all over the bed, but the young lady didn't despise her at all. She stayed in her room and watched others change her clothes and bedding, and then she personally fed her medicine.

She always thought that such a good lady would have a smooth and happy life.

Who would have thought...

Just before tears burst out, Aunt Gui quickly walked out of the room.

The cold wind in her face forced her tears back.

Then she noticed that the snow had begun to fall.

When the first snow fell last year, Qinghong and Cuiwei were as excited as two fools, jumping in the yard and shouting, "Madam, please come out and see the snow."

But none of them were in the mood today, and they all looked a little listless.

She couldn't help but lean over and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong? Didn't you eat enough dinner?"

Cuiwei pursed her lips and muttered softly, half crying, "When the young lady came back just now, her eyes were red. Was she mad at that heartless son-in-law again?"

"No, today it was the son-in-law who was very angry with the young lady."

"Then why is Miss still..."

"You must be thinking about the child. When we were in the main courtyard, the young lady mentioned to the Marquis and his family that the child would not come back."

Aunt Gui answered perfunctorily.

After answering, I found that the two of them looked even more listless, so I dragged them to eat the remaining donkey-hide gelatin, longan and red date soup.

They didn't know that at this moment Lin Yuan appeared in front of Li Shu quietly.

In her arms was a chubby orange kitten.

"I found this when I was passing by the mass grave. It's very docile and clingy. Then I suddenly remembered that you loved cats and dogs when you were little, so I brought it here for you. If you like it, you can keep it by your side. If not, I'll take it away."

"..."

Li Shu blinked, exchanged glances with the fluffy little fellow that emerged from Lin Yuan's arms, then nodded with a smile, "Very cute, did you really pick it up?"

Lin Yuan nodded, "We picked up three in total, and this is the only one that survived."

When he said this, there was regret and a hint of self-blame in his tone.

Li Shu couldn't help but look at him.

Then he suddenly remembered that he was picked up by Kong Sanniang at the mass grave.

Judging from his current appearance, he must have been a delicate little porcelain figurine when he was a child.

Just like this cute little kitty.

Anyone who sees it would be tempted to pick it up and take it home to raise it well.

Then she asked, "Have you picked a name yet?"

"three."

"...Isn't that too casual? Didn't it express that it didn't like the name?"

"It can't talk either."

"You can just bully it because it can't talk, so just change its name to "Zizi"."

"I venture to say that three is still the best, each one looking like a mouse."

"..."

Li Shu raised her eyebrows, put down the bowl in her hand and reached out.

Lin Yuan immediately placed the kitten carefully in her hands.

The little guy was indeed very docile. He didn't struggle or get scared. He immediately licked her hand to please her.

Her heart melted instantly.

Then she stroked the little guy and called out "Zizi".

The little fellow immediately meowed in a very delicate voice.

Li Shu smiled immediately, "See, it likes this name."

Seeing her smile, Lin Yuan also smiled unconsciously, "Well, as long as she likes it."

At this moment, over at Tongxin Garden.

Li Shen sat on the edge of the bed, holding Xie Yu's hand tightly with a worried look on his face.

It was as if Xie Yu would disappear right there as soon as he let go.

Little did he know that Xie Yu was secretly wondering why he hadn't left yet!

At the same time, the system was telling Xie Yu: [The system has detected that the bond card used by the host on Ning Jin is about to expire. Please replace it as soon as possible!]
