Translator: Dragon Boat Translation  Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The mother and daughter would only give in to each other when they were drinking. If things went wrong, they might even go to the courtyard to train.

Su Ji regretted buying too little.

However, there were too few places in the village where one could still buy wine, not to mention this home-brewed osmanthus wine.

Even if there were, most of them would be used as disinfectant. This was a method that Su Ji had personally taught the villagers a few days ago.

It had been a long time since Su Ji had a drink. When she was in high spirits, the mother and daughter’s exceptionally similar hearty laughter rippled out of the thatched cottage.

When the villagers passing by heard this, they shook their heads in confusion.

Didn’t they hear that Madam Xu was ill and had only two days to live? How could she still be in the mood to laugh so happily?

They all thought that they were possessed.

Su Ji, who was lying on the wooden bed in the room, was laughing so hard that tears were streaming down her face.

At this moment, Prince Huai had yet to appear. Otherwise, if he saw her, his heart would ache to death.

Xu Mingzhi did not hide anything and told her what to expect after she passed. Su Ji mostly listened to her and only responded when she needed an answer.

“Alright.”

“Got it.”

She realized that her mother had saved up quite a lot of money behind her back these few years.

Xu Mingzhi suggested that she enter the palace.

Su Ji would definitely agree to all of her requests today, but when she heard this, she could not help but ask, “mother, didn’t you say that all men are bad? Why would you spend so much money to get me into the palace?”

Xu Mingzhi raised her head and downed the glass of wine in her hand. The glass knocked against the wooden table and made a muffled sound.

“Since you’re going to marry anyway, why don’t you marry the richest and most powerful one?”

She said it so bluntly.

Needless to say, at that time, this thought was quite avant-garde.

Su Ji shook her head. “Then why didn’t you go?”

Xu Mingzhi’s answer was unbelievable.”You think I don’t want to?”

Su Ji:

Xu Mingzhi said, “the gold ingots that I have saved up now are enough to send you in alone. You go first and get more silver. Then, bring me with you.”

Su Ji could not help but laugh. “You’re indeed my mother…”

She shook her head and agreed.

Anyway, his mother was no longer around, so everything else was up to her.

Xu Mingzhi usually wouldn’t get drunk after drinking a thousand glasses, but her body was weak at that moment. After drinking a pot and a half, she was already clearly drunk.

She asked, “Su Ji, what kind of person do you think I am?”

Su Ji leaned against the wooden wall behind him, one leg straight and the other bent. She casually rested her elbow on her knee and looked lazy. “Mother, you robbed the rich to help the poor, you served justice, you’re generous and selfless…”

“Wrong.” Xu Mingzhi shook her head and interrupted her.

“I am actually the most selfish,” she said.

Su Ji looked at her silently.

As expected, Xu Mingzhi did not need her to ask and started explaining, “I robbed the rich in the last place to save gold ingots for my baby to enter the palace. I helped the poor in this village so that they could help you deal with my funeral after I left. I was tolerant of them because I did not care. I am righteous because those people wanted to bully my baby…”

Every word she said was about her baby.

Su Ji propped her forehead with her hand. “Then why are you so nice to me?”

Xu Mingzhi’s chopsticks drew a circle in the air before her gaze finally landed on Su Ji. “I am good to you so that you can be good…”

This sentence broke Su Ji’s defense.

No matter how hard the walls of iron were built, they would crumble when she heard this.

She was famous for treating people well, but in the end, everyone had another motive. That motive was Su Ji, and she was good to Su Ji because of Su Ji…

Su Ji facepalmed and shook her head. “You shouldn’t have done that.”

Xu Mingzhi looked at her. “Why?”

Su Ji lowered her head. “They say that the elders will do some annoying things before they die so that the younger generation can forget them more easily after they leave. But you did the opposite…”

Xu Mingzhi poked the roast chicken with her chopsticks and was about to speak when Su Ji looked up and she saw her daughter’s bloodshot eyes.

The dream world turned upside down at this moment. The huge black hole in her heart was like a net that had opened out of thin air.

Su Ji’s heart was being torn apart in all directions, as if the most precious thing had finally been recovered. The emptiness in her heart was finally filled, but before she could be ecstatic, she was told that there was only a time limit, and by the time she knew, everything had already entered the countdown.
