Wen Li was still talking when she turned her head and saw that Chu Miao's expression seemed a little off. In fact, she had noticed that Chu Miao's condition was not quite right as soon as she returned.

He always looks preoccupied.

Wen Li paused for a moment, then said, "Miaomiao, do you know that my biggest wish used to be to protect you and not let anyone bully you? I wanted to see you happy forever, but I was just too incompetent."

"Mom is useless."

"Mom couldn't stop your grandma and your second aunt from bullying you. Even though I tried my best to protect you, you still suffered a lot of grievances."

“Every time I see you so understanding even when you've been wronged, comforting me by saying, ‘Mom, it's okay, I'm fine, Mom, don't worry, don't be sad for me,’ I just… I just—”

Wen Li's heart ached so much that her breathing trembled: "Miaomiao, it's Mommy's fault for letting you down."

Chu Miao looked at her and said softly, "Miao Miao won't blame you."

Yes.

Chu Miaomiao never blamed her.

Hearing this, Wen Li laughed again, but it was an extremely bitter laugh. She looked up, forcing back the tears that were welling up in her eyes, and curved her lips into a smile: "However, you have changed since half a year ago. My Miaomiao has become no longer as useless as me, no longer someone who can be bullied by others."

“If others bully her, she will fight back and even help my incompetent mother get revenge. When my mother-in-law sets rules for me, she can make her so angry that she can’t even stand up in bed. When my mother is critically ill, she can use her connections to save my mother’s life.”

"I love this daughter so much; she's like an unexpected surprise from God."

“I’m worried that one day, God will take this unexpected surprise back.”

Wen Li stopped speaking, looked at Chu Miao who had lowered her head slightly, raised her hand, slowly placed it on Chu Miao's head, and gently rubbed it. "Now, it seems that my worries have come true. Heaven really is going to take this surprise back."

"My darling daughter, should I call you Chu Miao or Miao Miao?"

These words were like a thunderbolt that exploded in Chu Miao's mind.

Chu Miao suddenly looked up, staring at Wen Li in disbelief.

she……

What did she just say?!

"What, what did you say?!" Chu Miao exclaimed in astonishment!

"As a mother, I can tell best if something's wrong with my daughter. Ever since you came back, you've been looking preoccupied. Do you think I didn't notice?"

"I was worried something had happened to you, so I called Young Master Si. He didn't tell me anything, he just sent me a document."

"The document says that more than a thousand years ago, there was a dynasty called the Great Chu Kingdom. There was a divine physician who could bring the dead back to life and heal bones. His skill with silver needles earned him the respect of thousands." Wen Li looked at Chu Miao and slowly said, "That divine physician was named Chu Miao."

"Isn't it a coincidence that it shares the same name as my daughter, differing only by the character '妙' (miao)?"

"The document says that the divine doctor has extraordinary medical skills, is unrestrained in his grudges and affections, and is free and easy. His temperament is exactly the same as yours."

“I’m not stupid. It’s not so obvious that I can’t guess it.” Wen Li looked at Chu Miao gently. “Actually, I noticed something was wrong a long time ago. How could a person change so much? But the idea of ​​a soul returning to life was too absurd and unbelievable, so I told myself not to think about it. But now, the facts are right in front of me, and I can’t deny it.”

Chu Miao's chest heaved violently; she never expected that Wen Li had already guessed it.

That's true. As a mother, you know your daughter best. Given how different her personality is from the original owner's, it's normal that Wen Li could guess it.

Si Yelin probably knew she wouldn't be able to bring it up herself, which is why he sent the document to Wen Li.

She lowered her eyes and said, "I'm sorry, I've been hiding it from you all this time..."

"What are you apologizing for?" Wen Li raised her hand and stroked her hair as she always did. "Are you apologizing for helping me save my mother, or for helping me find my biological parents and have a happy family?"

"Miaomiao, you shouldn't apologize, I should thank you."

"Thank you for being my daughter for so long."

Chu Miao could no longer hold back her tears, which finally burst forth. She reached out and hugged Wen Li tightly, burying her head in her shoulder.

Wen Li hugged her back and gently patted her back to comfort her.

"Mom doesn't care whether you are Chu Miao or Chu Miaomiao, I only know that you are my daughter, and that fact will never change."

Chu Miao cried even harder.

She was an orphan since childhood and had never experienced the feeling of having parents. Now, through Chu Miaomiao's body, she finally felt the happiness of having parents, but she had to leave.

……

Chu Miao and Wen Li started talking.

She told me that she was a divine physician from the Great Chu Kingdom, and also about the timing of her time travel.

The original owner, Chu Miaomiao, was humiliated and killed at Chu Yan's birthday party, and she was reborn into her body.

Wen Li suddenly realized that her daughter had died so early. She remembered that it was around this time that her daughter's personality underwent a dramatic change.

It was her fault as a mother for being useless, letting someone kill her daughter. Now Liu Yufang's family is reaping what they sowed, and Chu Yan has also been punished, but her daughter will never come back.

"I will arrange Miaomiao's funeral," Wen Li said. Since Chu Miaomiao is dead, they should erect a monument for her so that she can be laid to rest.

but--

"Miaomiao, are you going back to the Great Chu Kingdom now?" Wen Li asked with reluctance. After spending so much time together, she had long regarded Chu Miao as her own daughter, and now Chu Miao was leaving.

"Yes." Chu Miao nodded: "I came back this time to talk about this matter. I have to leave."

"The Grand Preceptor is still suffering in the Great Chu Kingdom. I cannot live a carefree life here and ignore him. I, Chu Miao, cannot do such a thing."

"Therefore, I must leave."

Wen Li affectionately patted her hair: "That's my good daughter. Mom supports you going back. You're always the most decisive. No matter what you do, Mom will always support you."

"Thank you." Chu Miao looked at Wen Li, who was supporting her, and her heart warmed.

"Silly girl, what are you thanking me for? What kind of daughter says thank you to her mother?" Wen Li said, feigning displeasure. "What, are you not acknowledging me as your mother anymore?"

"How could that be! Of course I admit it!"

“That’s right, I also consider you my daughter.” Wen Li held her hand. “Miaomiao, I still stand by what I said: no matter who you are or what your status is, you will always be my daughter, understand?”
