Chapter 78: Manual for Raising a Sickly Prince (39)
Shi Qi felt a little warm in his heart when he saw the person waiting for him at the gate of the prime minister's residence.
Loved ones...she hasn't had one yet.
However, it feels really good to have a loved one around.
"Sister! Come here and hug me. Woohoo, I haven't seen you for a long time." Shi Nan grinned, as happy as a child.
"Nan'er looks beautiful again." Shi Qi smiled and touched Shi Nan's head with a gentle tone.
"Okay, Nan'er, let your sister go into the house quickly. It's cold outside." Shi's mother said, and walked forward and carefully took Shi Qi's arm.
"Dad, Mom, Qiqi... can see it now." Shi Qi withdrew his hand and said softly.
The three people were stunned and didn't react for a moment.
After a long while, Prime Minister Shi suddenly spoke with a look of shock and joy: "What!? You can see it? Qiqi, when did it happen?"
"It only took a few days. A famous doctor cured me." Shi Qi replied calmly.
A few days and a few months... don't seem to make much difference, ahem.
"It's okay, it's okay, my dear girl." Shi's mother patted Shi Qi's shoulder gently with a loving face.
"Dad, Mom, let's go back home soon. Mother Chen has been waiting for my sister for a long time." Shi Nan said.
The four of them continued chatting about the past, and Shi Qi came to the backyard.
Perhaps because the original owner was too familiar with Mother Chen, Shi Qi felt extremely familiar when he saw that strange face at this time.
Woman... No, it should be said that it is an old woman.
"Qi...Miss is here, please sit here." Mother Chen walked over, limping on her shaky legs.
Shi Qi was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Mother Chen, why are you sitting outside? It's too cold."
"If Miss can't bear it...then come inside and talk." Mother Chen smiled a little sadly.
In the original owner's memory, Mother Chen was a very particular person. Although she had difficulty walking, she lived her life very seriously.
"Miss, your eyes are better now."
For some reason, Shi Qi heard a deep sense of guilt and sadness in these words.
"Okay, that's it." Shi Qi said with a smile.
"Qiqi...I always avoid you, do you know why?" Mother Chen's old voice was even more obvious in the room.
Shi Qi said nothing, just listened to Mother Chen's story...
(The following is the first-person perspective of Chen's mother)
I have been in the Prime Minister's Mansion for several years. The master and the mistress have a very good relationship. I often think...it would be great if the one in my family treated me the same way.
Getting married... is something I will regret for the rest of my life.
As happy as I was when I married him, I was miserable every day after that.
I am a maid in the prime minister's mansion, and he is a close confidant of Prince Luo.
Later, we fell in love...or rather, he loved me.
He was very gentle, and because I didn't want to leave the Xiangfu, he agreed to let me stay here. At that time, I thought, how could there be such a considerate person, so, at that time, I loved him very much.
I don't know when he started to become different.
The one who loved me turned into a beast.
The endless beatings and torture day and night made me think of committing suicide for the first time...
Maybe it's my problem? If it's not my problem... I don't know why someone who is so gentle and loves me during the day would become like that at night.
Later on, I no longer had any expectations for him.
He was such a good actor that even when I told people about the atrocities... people just took it as a joke.
My mind seemed to be starting to become abnormal.
The master and the mistress asked me what happened to my injuries, and I always... smiled and said nothing.
That day, the little princess of the prime minister's mansion was born.
How happy I am! This big family that treats me like family now has a little girl.
I swore at that time that I would be especially nice to the little princess...
The young lady’s name is Qiqi. She has a somewhat aloof personality, but she always likes to smile at me.
What was my situation at that time? I just felt that... our little lady's smile must be well protected.
I thought that this kind of life would last as long as I could endure it and as long as I still loved him.
He will change for me.
But when I think about it carefully, I take myself too seriously.
Some people are inherently bad and can't be changed.
When Qiqi was seven years old, I discovered a sad yet happy thing - I was pregnant.
Have children of their own.
I regard this child...as all my hope.
I always feel that if I have a child, he will live a good life and won't torture me so badly anymore.
But things went against my wishes, and I was selfish after all.
Under endless torture, I had a thought that... shouldn't have happened.
I want to kill him. I can't let my child... have such a devilish father.
That day, Qiqi asked me, "Mother Chen, why is your belly so swollen?"
I said, "Mother Chen is happy to see Qiqi, and she has gained weight because she ate too much."
"Being fat is good. Qiqi doesn't like the skinny look of Chen's mother."
At that time I turned my head away, but I couldn't hold back my tears.
My love for Shi Qi is no less than the love I have for my own children.
I always feel that as long as Shiqi is here and the child is here...I can always hold on.
But I didn't expect...that beast.
The beast killed his own child...
There is no one who won't go crazy, or rather...I have gone crazy a long time ago.
That day, I knew that he was going to Huichen County to handle some matters. I heard that he was going to look after the prince for Prince Luo.
At that time, my mind was filled with thoughts of murder and revenge, and I had already broken down emotionally. I didn't notice that Qiqi had followed me that day.
On the cliff above the cold pond, I saw Prince Luo and the Crown Prince, and he was chatting and laughing.
I vaguely saw Prince Luo throw the prince down, and said something to him with a smile, and left soon after.
His martial arts skills are not bad, and if I don't prepare early, I won't be able to kill him.
I know a little about poisons. That day, I brought a lot of poisons, all of which were deadly.
Seeing that he was the only one left around, the idea in my mind became stronger.
Finally...he began to feel dizzy and blood started to flow from the corners of his mouth.
I went over and grabbed his neck fiercely.
"Ruru! Why are you here? It's dangerous here. Go back!"
His voice was hoarse, yet gentle.
Just like when we first met.
But I couldn't care less and couldn't control the resentment in my heart.
"Ruru...let go! The prince...the prince is still in the cold pond, I want to save him...ahem, you...you..."
"I'm going to kill you...kill you...kill you...ah!"
I had already gone crazy and didn't care about the prince... so much so that I ended up making a big mistake.
he died.
I felt unsatisfied, so I took out the rope and knife he often used on me, as well as poison.
The knife cut into his body one by one.
I regret it. I shouldn't have done this after his death. He couldn't feel the pain I went through.
I cut off pieces of his flesh and sprinkled them with my secret poison.
But I didn’t expect that Qiqi, who followed me, would see all of this.
That is my hope, my little princess...how can you see this?
"Chen...Mom, you..."
I was afraid she shouldn't have seen this.
