Ying Guo Gong1Â Old Madam Shen, who had been praying for blessings at the temple for many years, died. The news spread throughout the capital as if it had grown wings.
âYing Guo Gong Old Madam? Hadnât she already passed away?â Some people expressed confusion.
The Ying Guo Gong mansion has won over the Royal family, and the Ying Guo Gong Wei Cheng Lin is one of the best figures in the younger generation. But in recent years, the news of Ying Guo Gong Old Madam Shen has never been heard of. Even so, hearing the news of the passing of Ying Guo Gong Old Madam away, many people were stunned at first glance.
âShe has lived in the temple for many years and prayed for blessings. She has never seen outsiders or appeared in front of people. Except for close people, no one remembers her. Itâs not surprising that you donât remember.
â The mansion has been in full swing these past few years. It is also because of this madam who devoted herself to worshipping Buddha!â
âThis madam, although she has been alive these years, it is no different from being dead.â A certain noble lady slowly uttered meaningful words.
âNo, you guys, you are just too young and take it for granted!â
âListening to this, I am reminded of a piece of news I heard a few years ago. It is said that this old madam was at odds with the Duchess? Is it because Thatâs how you avoid going to the family temple?â
âProbably not? Iâve seen the Duchess. She is the softest and gentlest lady Iâve ever known. How could she do such an unfilial thing!â Someone immediately retorted.
âWho knows? Knowing the face, but not the heart. Who knows!â
âI donât think the Duchess is like that. They all say that appearance is born from the heart. You look at the capital, and in terms of appearance, who can match this lady? â
âAt a young age, she became the Duchess. Her husband treated her wholeheartedly. The back house was clean and there was no trouble at all. She also had sons and daughters under her knees. This lady had it all the best. She must be the darling of God. â
âThatâs true. The last time the palace banquet was over, the Duke of Ying deliberately waited for her in front of the palace gate. I watched with my own eyes as the Duke helped her into the carriage. She was like an eyeball in his hand. So careful! â
âIn the whole capital, the man who treats his wife with great affection, if the Duke of Ying is second, then no one will dare to be the first!â
âIt can be seen that the Duchess has accumulated a lot of fortune in her past life. She will fall into the nest of blessings in this life.â

The focus of the discussion gradually shifted to the lady of Ying Guo Gong who made the ladies of the capital envy and envy. New things and new characters are appearing in the city from time to time. An old lady who has lived silently for several years like an invisible person is not worth their attention.
Shen Xin Yanâs soul floated around. As if being led by a thread, to a certain mansion in the city.
She saw Chun Liu, who had been loyal to her all her life, collapsed to the ground in grief. Then she reported the âbad newsâ of her passing to the young man on the chair of the Grand Master.
That was her son. The son she was proud of all her life, and the son who personally sent her to the temple to spend the rest of her life.
She stared at the man stubbornly, not letting go of every expression on his face. Seeing a trace of pain in the face of that incomparably determined and handsome face, his expression gradually became dazed. Until the delicate and sweet voice of a young woman came from outside the house, âHusbandâŚâ.
The pain miraculously disappeared in an instant.
âUnderstood.â In the end, he threw such a sentence lightly at Chun Liu, who came to report the news. Then he got up and walked towards his sweetheart who came in gracefully.
â Knowing this will be the case, what are you looking forward to? âShe curled her lips sarcastically.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew. It instantly blew her away from the Ying Guo Gong mansion. It was as if a huge vortex was sucking her, twisting her into the depths of the white light.
She closed her eyes tightly, and the wh8ining sound of the wind roared in her ears.
I donât know how long it took, the wind gradually subsided, replaced by unfamiliar voices.
âDamn, why donât the male lead quickly get rid of this vicious mother and younger sister!â
âHis mother is so disgusting. The male protagonist quickly let her get the box lunch!â
âThe male protagonist is too indecisive. He let this mother and daughter pair jump up until now!â
âYou donât solve this evil pair first. But you still want to marry the female lead! This male protagonist is too useless. Give up the article!â
â+1, hate the male protagonist, disgusting male protagonistâs mother!â
â+10086 Please let this scumbag go offline!
â Ah, isnât this evil mother-in-law not disgusting enough?â
âID card number.â
âPi.â2

Strings of inexplicable words entered her ears. Shen Xin Yan was stunned. The light suddenly shot towards her brain, and her pupils suddenly widened.
Scenes and scenes flashed in her mind quickly. There were even various narrations and voices in her ears. She was dazed at first and shocked. Then smiled wryly, and finally calmed down.
It turned out that she was actually the vicious mother-in-law in the so-called âfavourite textâ.
Since it is a âfavouriteâ, the mother-in-law, who is the daughter-in-lawâs ânatural enemyâ, the mother of the male protagonist will either die early or treat the female protagonist like her own daughter.
You donât like the heroine. But you still wanna live a good life. Why donât you go see your ancestors early? Iâm sorry. According to the golden rule of âthe protagonist is prosperous, and the anti-protagonist is deadâ, this âmotherâ must not end well!
Unfortunately, she is such a âmotherâ, also known as the âvicious mother-in-lawâ in the legend.
There was a loud noise of âBoomâ. And then another white light slashed towards her. Her eyes suddenly turned black, and her whole person fell sharplyâŚ
Shen Xin Yan stared at the picture in the bronze mirror dumbfounded for a moment. This young face. She pinched the back of her hand in disbelief. The pain struck, and she suddenly woke up.
Not a dream? But why? Hadnât she already died in the temple?
She cursed for a year, went mad for four years, and finally died miserably in her home temple. Her only son, however, was indifferent to her death.
Is there a more failed mother in the world than her?
Recalling the past, she taunted the corners of her mouth and pulled out a smile that was uglier than crying.
âMadam, the eldest son has come to greet you.â Chun Liu lifted the curtain and entered, reporting the news with a smile.
Looking at the loyal maid who was ten years younger, Shen Xin Yanâs heart was suffocated. Her nose couldnât help feeling a little sour when she thought of how Chun Liu had never left her in her previous life.
She quickly turned her face away to cover it up. After a while, she said indifferently, âLet him come in!â
Chun Liu gave her a glance in a strange way. In the past, what Madam looked forward to most was the time when the eldest son came to greet him. What happened today? So calm?
After a while, the young man in splendid clothes stepped in.
The young boyâs handsome face was tensed tightly and his back was straight. He was only a ten-year-old child. But he had an awe-inspiring and inviolable majesty on his body.
This is her only son, Wei Cheng Lin, the eldest grandson of the Guo Gong mansion, who has been brought up and raised by his grandfather, the Duke of Ying since he was three years old.
Shen Xin Yan once thought that her son always had an indifferent expression. It was his nature. So he seldom smiled at his relatives.
It wasnât until that beautiful girl appearedâŚ
It was also at that time that she knew that her indifferent and almost unsympathetic son also smiled so tenderly, and sometimes bent his proud back.
Shen Xin Yan stared at him with complicated eyes. Seeing this son who she loved, resented and hated again, she thought she would be very excited, and could not help but ask him loudly, âWhy do you treat me like that? Why let me die so lonely and desolateâ.
But in fact, her heart was quite calm. It was so calm that she just stared at him without blinking. Watched him respectfully greet her and stand in the centre of the room.
She thought that whatever amount of resentment, anger, and unwillingness would have been slowly consumed in the years when she went crazy. Maybe she still had a little bit of unwillingness before her death. So her soul drifted uncontrollably to the Guo Gong mansion, just to see how her only son would react to her death.
However, she still overestimated herself and her position in his heartâŚ
After a long time without hearing her motherâs usual ardent instructions, Wei Cheng Lin raised his eyes suspiciously and looked at his mother on the Taishi chair. Then he immediately met with a pair of complicated and indescribable deep eyes.
âMother?â He frowned invisibly and called out in confusion.
Shen Xin Yan was calm. She lowered her head slightly. When she lifted it again, there was nothing strange on her face.
âSit down. Do you sleep well last night? Did you study your homework until midnight? You are still young. No matter how hard you work, you canât delay your body. The combination of work and rest is more useful than anything else. â
â I have already fallen asleep at midnight. My motherâs teachings are always in my sonâs heart.â Wei Chen Lin sat up straight. His tone was respectful but slightly alienated.
In her last life, Shen Xin Yan would have felt sad and complained about her father-in-law who had taken her son away. But after she died once, she no longer had such thoughts. She just nodded and said warmly, âOkay. Now itâs the class time, right? Go to the class.â
Wei Cheng Lin thought he would listen to the nagging for at least another quarter of an hour as usual. But unexpectedly he heard such a sentence.
âYes. My son retires.â He didnât think too much. He glanced at her, bowed respectfully, turned around and walked out.
The tall and straight back of the young man gradually disappeared. Shen Xin Yan pursed her lips. Her eyes appeared a little blank.
Why? Does God think that what happened in her last life was not bad enough? Why let her do it all over again?
This inexplicable chance of rebirth. She is not rare at all. For a person whose heart has been completely dead, what is the point of living?
Why should she live again? Doesnât it mean that people die like a lamp goes out? Why is she still here?
The unresolved scenes of resentment from the previous life flashed in her mind like a revolving lantern. The pain in her heart quickly swept through her limbs and bones. She clutched her heart tightly as if a voice was constantly echoing in her ears. Why? Why? Why live again?
She didnât know how long it took before she took a few deep breaths and tried to calm herself down.
Since God wants to let her do it all over again, then she will live again. At least, this time, live a good life for yourself!
âChun Liu, Iâll change my clothes!â She called out loudly.
Chun Liu entered in response.
âChange one. Letâs change to the snow blue one!â Shen Xin Yan glanced at the dark green shirt and skirt held by Chun Liu. She shook her head and pointed to another set on the shelf.

Well, I donât know what it means either. It literally means ID number and Pi. If somebody knows, donât hesitate to tell me. Iâll fix it.
