80 village women marry military officers; it was supposed to be a fake marriage.

When Lin Yue returned from the hospital, she had just arrived at the entrance of the military family compound when an elderly woman was waiting at the door.

Upon seeing her return, he warmly stepped forward and asked, "Hello, girl, are you Lin Yue?"

Lin Yue nodded, looking at her with a puzzled expression; she didn't recognize the old woman.

At the same time, she cautiously took a few steps back and protected her stomach with her hands.

Ever since the incident involving the white dove's face swap, they've all become a bit paranoid.

The old woman wasn't angry. She took the initiative to introduce herself, "Girl, I'm your mother's wet nurse. I raised your mother since she was a baby."

Later, when your maternal grandfather had an accident, your mother gave me money so that I wouldn't be implicated and could go home to retire.

She wasn't well-off at the time, but she still gave me all the money she had.

She's a good girl, just unlucky; she's encountered so many bad things.

The old woman's eyes reddened as she spoke, "I just heard about her accident. She was fine when she came to see me a few days ago. How could she be gone like this?"

Chang Jingxiang had not yet told Lin Yue about Jiang Mengshu, so she was unaware of Jiang Mengshu's death.

The old woman is still somewhat bewildered when she talks about it. Wasn't she arrested? How could she suddenly disappear?

Tears streamed down the old woman's face as she spoke, showing how much she truly loved Jiang Mengshu.

Lin Yue couldn't describe how she felt; she couldn't say she was sad, but she also couldn't say she felt nothing.

Jiang Mengshu was, after all, the one who gave birth to her. Even if she didn't want to acknowledge her, that was something that couldn't be changed.

The old woman cried for a while before gradually calming down. Her eyes were red and swollen, and her aged face was filled with grief.

She wiped away her tears with her hands, which were covered in age spots and wrinkles. "I heard about your situation from Mengshu. It's understandable that you don't want to acknowledge her, and I can't say you're wrong."

But out of respect for the dead, she said she had made mistakes in the past and hoped you could forgive her and not live your life with hatred towards her.

Sigh, outsiders all think Mengshu is willful and capricious, but she's actually very kind-hearted.

The old woman wanted to say more words of advice, but seeing that Lin Yue didn't react, she stopped talking.

"Sigh, old people just talk too much. If you don't want to listen, I won't say anything."

I'm here today on Mengshu's behalf to bring you something."

She took a bag out of the basket and handed it to Lin Yue, but Lin Yue didn't want to take it and didn't reach out, which displeased the old woman.

"Take it. I was entrusted with this task. Giving it to you fulfills my promise to Mengshu. As for what you do with it, that's your business."

She never expected Lin Yue to be so cold-hearted, not even shedding a tear when her own mother died.

Parents are never wrong. Even if adults make mistakes, children shouldn't hold it against them too much.

Your parents gave you life, which is the greatest kindness they have shown you. You should be grateful to them for the rest of your life and repay their kindness by taking care of them in their old age.

Lin Yue only cares about living a good life and doesn't care about her own mother at all; she doesn't even know she's dead.

Sigh, why is Mengshu's life so miserable? She has two children, neither of whom are filial.

She felt indignant for Jiang Mengshu, and the kindness and gentleness in her eyes when she looked at Lin Yue were gone.

"I've already handed the items over to you, so I won't stay any longer."

Her reddened old eyes looked Lin Yue up and down, and when she saw Lin Yue's slightly protruding belly, her eyes flickered.

Before she left, she said, "Mengshu values ​​this more than her own life. She specifically told me to give it to you. You should take a look before deciding what to do with it."

Lin Yue watched the old woman's figure disappear at the gate of the military family compound before going home.

She looked at the thing in her hand, her brows furrowed, unable to guess what Jiang Mengshu meant.

When Chang Jingxiang returned, she told him about the old woman's visit and showed him the things she had brought.

Chang Jingxiang also thought it best to see what it was first, so he helped Lin Yue open the bag, which contained a letter and a key.

The letter was written by Jiang Mengshu to Lin Yue. Chang Jingxiang read it once before asking Lin Yue if she wanted to read it.

"Xiaoyue, this letter is from Ms. Jiang. Do you want to read it?"

Chang Jingxiang didn't have a good impression of Jiang Mengshu. Lin Yue was unwilling to acknowledge her, and Chang Jingxiang supported her.

But this time, he collaborated with Jiang Mengshu, who sacrificed herself to get rid of those people, which changed Chang Jingxiang's opinion of her.

Lin Yue admired Jiang Mengshu after hearing Chang Jingxiang's account of what she had done, so she read the letter without hesitation.

In her letter, Jiang Mengshu recounted many past events, from her parents' affairs to the Jiang family being sent to the countryside, from her time in the countryside to her marriage to Zuo Zhiguo.

Then, after giving birth to her, she entrusted her to the Lin family for care. Finally, when the babies were switched at birth, she tried to make amends, and every word she wrote was an attempt to explain herself.

She hoped that Lin Yue could forgive her, and if they were destined to be mother and daughter again in the next life, she would definitely take good care of Lin Yue then.

The letter made no mention of Hei Feng being Lin Yue's biological father; she wanted to take that matter to her grave.

If she doesn't say anything, Chang Jingxiang is even less likely to say anything. It's better for Lin Yue to stay in the dark. That kind of person doesn't deserve to be her father.

The letter ended by mentioning the key, which was a small house left to Jiang Mengshu by her father, located in a small alley next to the Shangjing Museum.

She has already transferred the house to Lin Yue as compensation for Lin Yue.

Some things in the house were left for Lin Yue; they were all left to her by Jiang's father.

Lin Yue can dispose of it as she pleases; whether she keeps it or hands it over to the relevant departments is entirely up to her, and she has no objections.

"Xiaoyue, I have experienced too many things in my life, which have shown me the darkest side of human nature. I can only arm myself to resist the storm."

Gradually, I lost myself, and when I wanted to change back, it was too late.

When I'm with you, I can't face myself, which is why I keep hurling insults at you.

I regretted saying those things, but I have no way to lower my head and apologize to you.

By the time you read this letter, I will be gone. Don't be sad or upset for me, because I can finally be free.

I did something I never dared to do before, to avenge my parents and for the sake of those innocent people.

If there is an afterlife, I hope I can have the chance to be your mother again and love you properly once more.

After reading the letter, Lin Yue felt her eyes well up with tears. She had longed for maternal love since she was a child and tried her best to please her mother, hoping that her mother could treat her the way she treated Lin Mei and the others.

But she tried for two lifetimes and still couldn't achieve it, so she had long since lost faith in family ties and given up on them.

After learning that she had been switched at birth, she felt relieved and was finally able to let go of her resentment.

Therefore, when facing Jiang Mengshu, her emotions were no longer stirred, and she did not want to jump back into the environment where she longed to be loved.
