After separating from my mother-in-law, I raised my children, built a house, and filled the granary

Chunhua looked at the two holding hands, her eyes welling up again, "Mother, will you leave me?"

Holding Chunhua's hand, Shen Yunwan paused for a moment. She did not answer, but took Chunhua's hand and walked towards the main house.

"Xiangru, I just asked the nanny to change the bath water. You should go and wash up first." Shen Yunwan said, and handed a new set of clothes from the closet to Yang Xiangru.

I may not have the chance to wear this dress again in the future.

Yang Xiangru didn't refuse. She took the clothes and went out, and thoughtfully closed the door.

Leave the space for Shen Yunwan and Chunhua, mother and daughter.

Shen Yunwan took out a clean handkerchief and wiped Chunhua's hair.

"Mom, they will take you away, right?" Chunhua held Shen Yunwan's hand.

Watching with red and swollen eyes.

"But, they were the ones who hurt us first, so can't we fight back?

Is it because they are officials?"

Shen Yunwan looked at the helpless child in front of her calmly.

After tonight, she would probably be taken away by the government officials.

In such a short time, she didn't know how to heal Chunhua's emotional trauma.

So Shen Yunwan did not answer her, but pulled her hand out of Chunhua's hand and continued to wipe her wet hair.

She was wondering how to tell Chunhua?

Chunhua looked at the silent Shen Yunwan, and her heart was overwhelmed with self-blame.

“If it weren’t for me, if it weren’t for me believing what that evil woman said, that grandma… told me to go to the ruined temple to find her.

None of this will happen. It's me who has harmed you and our family.

I'm just a jinx.

When I was born, that evil woman said I was a jinx, I..."

"Chunhua, I don't allow you to say that about yourself."

Shen Yunwan hugged Chunhua into her arms and said, "This is not your fault.

We are victims, what have we done wrong?

Chunhua, your birth was the happiest day for your father and me, because you made us parents for the first time.

This is the first time we are parents, and we are still learning, and there are some things we do not do well.

For example, this time, if it weren't for your father and I being negligent, you wouldn't have to suffer such great harm."

Shen Yunwan let go of Chunhua, bent down, and looked at Chunhua who was sitting on the chair.

She held Chunhua's face in her hands, forcing her to look directly into her eyes.

"Chunhua, look into my eyes.

What happened today may not be forgotten even if you are asked to.

But you must remember that for what happened today, neither you, me, nor your godmother did anything wrong.

It's the system and those people who are at fault. If you torture yourself with the mistakes of others, you're doing the greatest harm to yourself and the people who care about you most.

man……"

Shen Yunwan saw Chunhua's evasive eyes, but she still held her face and looked firmly into her eyes.

“There are good men in this world, and love between men and women is a beautiful thing.

If one day you meet a man who makes your heart beat faster, you can try to understand him.

Of course, mother is not saying that women must be with men. If they don’t meet, that’s okay too. Women can also be wonderful on their own.”

Shen Yunwan glanced down, the pain in her eyes seemed to be about to overflow.

"Chunhua, we are not at fault, and we must not punish ourselves for the mistakes of others."

After hearing this, Chunhua couldn't help but straighten her clothes with her hands.

"But, mother, you...you will be..." Chunhua thought about her mother being detained in the yamen prison and possibly being convicted.

She couldn't help crying.

The hot tears fell on Shen Yunwan's wrist.

Shen Yunwan sighed in her heart, and moved her hands from Chunhua's chin to her cheeks, wiping her tears.

"Don't cry, just convict me.

Everyone is destined to die, and this time there may be a turning point.

I don’t have to die.”

Shen Yunwan comforted Chunhua, although she knew that according to the laws of this dynasty, the possibility of her survival was very low.

Afraid?

I'm scared.

Who is not afraid of death?

But, death will always come.

If this is the case, Yang Xiangru's kindness can be repaid and Chunhua can live well, so it seems that her death is well deserved.

Maybe after she dies here, she can return to her original world.

She really missed her grandma.

When Yang Xiangru came in, she saw the mother and daughter hugging each other.

Such a heartwarming scene made her nose sore.

Chunhua saw Yang Xiangru at the door, and came out of Shen Yunwan's arms somewhat embarrassedly, wiping the tears from her cheeks with her hands.

Then he lowered his head.

He called out softly, "Godmother."

Yang Xiangru walked into the house, closed the door, walked up to Chunhua, and touched her head.

"How are you...? I'll give you some medicine."

When Shen Yunwan saw the bruises on Yang Xiangru's neck, she went to the cabinet to get the medicated oil.

Chunhua also saw the bruises on Yang Xiangru's exposed wrist, and felt sad again.

Then she remembered what her mother had just said and forced back her tears.

You should not blame yourself anymore. You cannot let your body, which has already suffered damage, suffer more damage from yourself.

They are not dirty, it is those people who are dirty.

"It's nothing, no need to apply medicine." Yang Xiangru pulled her sleeves uncomfortably, not wanting Chunhua to see the scars.

I always feel that in front of Chunhua, I don’t want Chunhua to know about my past.

If possible, she hopes Chunhua will never know her shameful past.

In the future, if they could really live together, she thought she would be a clean person in Chunhua's eyes.

When Shen Yunwan said she would give Chunhua to her.

She seemed to have been reborn.

Take Chunhua away from this place, go to a place where no one knows her, and start over.

She is no longer the daughter of a criminal, nor is she a woman who can be abused by others.

The scars on her body would eventually fade, the wounds would heal, and she could start her life over again.

So, she wanted to start over in Chunhua's eyes.

Chunhua seemed to know what Yang Xiangru was thinking, just like she didn't want anyone to see her wound in the bathhouse just now.

But my mother said, they did nothing wrong, so why should they be so harsh on their bodies?

“Godmother, it will hurt if you don’t take medicine.

"Mother, please help me apply the medicine too." Chunhua said as she gently opened her collar. The skin on her chest below the collar had been rubbed until it bled. The blood stained her pure white lining.

Spotted, like fallen plum blossoms.

Yang Xiangru looked at Chunhua's wound and felt sad. Shen Yunwan looked at Chunhua's wound and felt distressed but relieved.

Even if it was just a momentary impulse at the moment, he still wanted to reassure them on the surface.

At least Chunhua will not avoid the fact that she has hurt herself.

Chunhua's wound was mainly caused by rubbing herself hard while taking a shower. It was not deep and the area was not large.

The medicine was applied quickly.

When Yang Xiangru took off her outer clothes and exposed her skin.
