Views:

On the first day, Qin Que was convicted. Mrs. Gu's identity as the princess of Daliang had been verified. Her original name was Di Yunru, and she married Mu Nanfeng twenty-five years ago.

On the third day, Qin Yue overturned the case and found out that although Mrs. Gu was the princess of Daliang, she was born to a palace maid. She was bullied and was not favored by the emperor. Nowadays, the emperor of Daliang and Mrs. Gu are often at odds. They originally wanted to marry the Huns, but were Mrs. Gu escaped from marriage before meeting Mu Nanfeng, which should not constitute evidence of adultery and treason.

On the fourth day, Qin Que discovered more than thirty correspondence exchanges between Mun Nanfeng and Daliang. This was conclusive evidence and he was convicted.

On the tenth day, Qin Yue discovered that more than thirty letters were forged, and that the person behind the scenes was the steward of the Mu Mansion, who took people's money and framed them.

On the twelfth day, the emperor pardoned the Mu family in the morning court, and Mu Nanfeng was reinstated. However, he was found guilty of concealing the crime. He withdrew the military talisman, deprived him of his hereditary position, and withdrew his wife's imperial edict. Without the emperor's order, he could not leave the city.

Everything finally settled, Ning Jiuwei finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the news that Qi Lexuan had inquired about. The Mu family finally no longer had to exterminate the clan.

"Jiuwei, are you really planning to marry Qin Lin?" Qi Lexuan finally asked after seeing Ning Jiuwei there.

Ning Jiuwei shook his head and said: "We will go back to Medicine Valley tomorrow. As long as we go back, everything will be solved."

Qi Lexuan nodded, and she just said, despite Ning Jiuwei's normal demeanor, there were too many twists and turns in her heart, and she was most sinister.

While the two were talking, Long Yurong walked in, looked at Ning Jiuwei, and said, "Jiuwei, we are leaving soon. Do you...do you want to see Mrs. Gu? Even if we don't recognize each other, It’s also a good idea to quit your job.”

"Mom, I've done everything I have to do. There's nothing to say when we meet again. It's just to add to the sadness." Ning Jiuwei shook her head and said.

After hearing Ning Jiuwei's words, Long Yurong nodded and said again: "Then if she comes to see you, can you meet her?"

"Mom, what do you mean? Is she here?" Ning Jiuwei looked at Long Yurong and asked.

Long Yurong nodded and said, "It's downstairs. I didn't agree with it at first, but she refused to leave and almost knelt down, so I came up to ask what you meant."

"Why didn't I see her here half a month ago? Now I have the nerve to come. She can kneel down if she wants. It can be regarded as atonement for Jiuwei." Qi Lexuan said angrily.

"Lexuan, no matter what Mrs. Gu did wrong, she is Jiuwei's mother after all, the person who gave her life." Long Yurong said.

Ning Jiuwei walked slowly to the window, gently opened a gap, and looked down. Mrs. Gu was wearing a simple long gown. She was thin and had a haggard face. She was thinner and her hair was white. A lot, and the whole person looks ten years older.

Sitting next to Mrs. Gu is Mu Nanfeng. Although he is stronger than Mrs. Gu, his back is also a bit sloppy. The two of them sit together, looking at the stairs from time to time, with expectation.

"Go and have a look if you want. After all, she is a poor person. She is deceived by others, and she feels bad in her heart. How can a mother not love her children." Long Yurong saw the struggle in Ning Jiuwei's eyes, He spoke.

After hearing Long Yurong's words, Ning Jiuwei turned around and hugged Long Yurong. Finally she couldn't suppress her voice and started to cry with sobs. She said, "Mom, I don't know how I should face her."

"It's been nine years. I don't know why things are like this between us. I want to recognize her, but I can't forgive her. That sword really destroyed all my ideas."

"I know this is Mu Xiaoxiao's plan, and I also know that she was deceived, but I just can't get over it. She has never believed me, and she didn't even leave me any excuse."

"Even if Mu Xiaoxiao doesn't cause trouble, I can't accept her being superior. Mom, you know, she looks down on me. She has never looked down on me with my status from the beginning. She feels low, even as her son. Not even my friends, because I’m lowly and I dirty the door of their Mu Mansion.”

"Sometimes I wonder, if I were not her daughter, she would kill me directly, leave me dead in the wilderness, and let wild wolves eat my flesh."

It was the first time that Ning Jiuwei cried so sadly. As of today, she finally collapsed. With so many thoughts, she said all the things that mattered to her most.

Long Yurong hugged Ning Jiuwei and patted her back gently without saying anything. At this time, any words would be in vain.

After a long time, Ning Jiuwei gradually calmed down. She held back her tears and said, "Mom, please let them go back. I'm not ready to meet them yet."

"Okay, mother, go and tell them, Le Xuan, come out with me." Long Yurong said and nodded at Qi Lexuan beside her.

Qi Lexuan followed Long Yurong outside with a confused look on her face and said, "Sister Long, why did you bring me out? Jiuwei must be very sad now."

"She needs to be alone at this time, so don't disturb her. Also, I have more important things for you to do." Long Yurong said as he spoke.

After hearing Long Yurong's words, Qi Lexuan followed downstairs and asked, "What's going on?"

"Mrs. Gu is ill, and very ill. I want you to go and have a look." Long Yurong said as she walked down.

Qi Lexuan opened her mouth and refused without thinking: "I don't want to treat him. I treated his Mu Yunxiao some time ago. If you insist on killing me, I won't go."

"Lexuan, don't be so stingy. Even if you don't like Mrs. Gu, think about it, she is Jiuwei's mother. If something happens to her, will Jiuwei be happy?" Long Yurong looked at Qi Lexuan and asked. road.

Speaking of Ning Jiuwei, Qi Lexuan sighed helplessly and said, "If it weren't for Jiuwei's sake, I wouldn't care about that old witch."

After saying that, Youzi stomped his feet unwillingly and said: "How come this old witch has such a good life? She has such a good daughter like Jiuwei, huh~"

Long Yurong looked at Qi Lexuan's childlike temper, curled her lips and said nothing, then walked directly to Mrs. Gu and Mu Nanfeng.

"Huang...Mrs. Long, Jiuwei..." Mrs. Gu looked at Long Yurong with a bit of hope and anxiety on her face.

"Jiu Wei is not used to it yet, Mrs. Gu should come again another time." Long Yurong said.

Hearing Long Yurong's words, the light in Mrs. Gu's eyes dimmed. She tried her best to smile and said, "She should not see me..."

"Mrs. Gu, you are not feeling well, why don't you let Le Xuan take a look." Long Yurong asked.

Hearing Long Yurong's words, Mrs. Gu raised her head and looked at Qi Lexuan. Seeing her unwillingness, she shook her head and said with a smile, "No need, I am already terminally ill. I just want to see Jiuwei once and it will be fine."
