Volume 1: Peaceful Childhood Chapter 2: Memories Revisited

  Her soul stretched upwards, she wanted to take a look at what her "mom" looked like this time, but lost her mind in the moment she saw it. This bright and young face was so familiar yet so strange. The waxen face that had been etched in her mind all along, with eyes that were dull with pain and apology, merged strangely with this face at this moment.

  She is her mother, the mother of her past life, the mother who passed away when she was eight years old, and also the mother of this life. Thank you, Star! Yun Qingran thought to herself, making a silent vow here that in this life, she would take good care of her mother, protect her mother well, and definitely refine her body for her, so that she could be with Chen Yi as a human being together.

  In her past life, Xiaoyu's uncle told her that when her mother was three months pregnant with her, the man who only had a blood relationship with her brought back the woman he had been raising outside and drove her mother out. Her mother was originally weak due to premature birth and because she had moved her fetus during that time, and later suffered heavy bleeding during childbirth, which damaged her body, so she left her early. Xing said that her cultivated spiritual energy could improve her mother's physical constitution, so let's start from now on.

  With her physical body, Yun Qingyan could finally start cultivating the Dragon and Phoenix Scripture. She left a strand of divine sense outside to pay attention to the movements outside, then sank her heart and began to cultivate.

  When she started to circulate and absorb spiritual energy in her body according to the heart method, she was surprised to find that she had directly reached the first layer of the initial peak. The absorbed spiritual energy was even more pure. This should be because Xing said earlier that the innate spiritual energy is the most pure spiritual energy in the world, which cannot be compared with the true energy transformed after reaching a certain level of cultivation.

  However, the congenital true qi in her body was too little, so she followed Xing's method and extended her soul force to her left hand, carefully guiding out the spiritual energy. She circulated it through the main meridians in her body, slowly unblocking some of the auxiliary meridians, transforming a large amount of congenital spiritual energy into her body.

  Beijing, heavily guarded courtyard, armed soldiers standing at attention.

  In the study, by the floor-to-ceiling glass window, on a recliner covered with a white plush carpet, an eight or nine-year-old boy held a thick book. His flaxen hair was slightly long, his bangs half-covered his eyes, and the winter sunlight passing through his butterfly-like eyelashes cast a faint silhouette, his pale face tense, with a maturity and calmness that didn't belong to his age.

  Suddenly, he lifted his head and gazed into the distance, a warm smile spreading across his face. In an instant, he was transformed from being as cold as ice to being as elegant as white jade, with a hint of evil charm and seductiveness surrounding him.

  Waiting for me... he muttered to himself.

  Yun Qingran was simultaneously cultivating the Jing Shen Jue and Feng Jue, which she had discovered not long after starting to cultivate the Feng Jue. The two did not conflict with each other, but instead had a mutually enhancing effect. She had only woken up because of a sudden premonition that something would happen.

  Just woke up, feeling some noise outside, and my soul looked outward.

  Outside the door, a young man holding keys in one hand and supporting a heavily made-up woman with the other walked in. The woman's belly was slightly bulging, she found a comfortable chair to sit down, casting a sideways glance at Yun Xi, her eyes full of triumphant expression. And Yun Xi's face turned very ugly at this time.

  "Yun Xi, you have one day to move out. Tomorrow is Qiao Qiao's moving-in day." The man said without even looking at Yun Xi after helping the woman sit down steadily.

  "Mom Yun Xi's face was incredulous, her hands slightly trembling. 'Why? Why do you want me to move out?'"

  "Hehe, because I'm carrying Huatian's kids, and they're twins! Oh, they're a month older than your kid!" Li Qiao said with a pleased smile, casually lifting her wrist with the bangle, "Mom said I should move back home, it's not good for me to live alone without anyone to take care of me, pregnant women need to be well taken care of, and being close to her is better for me and the baby."

  At this time, Yun Xi suddenly discovered that the other party's lower abdomen was protruding, and one hand was gently stroking it. Looking at Liang Hua Tian again, he looked at her lower abdomen with full expectation.

  "That's your child, what about me? Is the one in my belly not yours anymore? Huatian, when you married me, didn't you say you would love me forever and take good care of me? What is this then?" She was his wife, but just a few days ago her mother-in-law said she was only pregnant with a child, did she still need to be taken care of? But now it's being said that someone needs to come and take care of this woman. And that bangle, she remembered it always being on her mother-in-law's hand, saying it would be passed down to the daughter-in-law, but now it was on her hand.

  Liang Huatian burst out laughing, "I wouldn't have said that if you would marry me. If it weren't for the old man wanting to fulfill the marriage agreement with your family and saying that if I didn't marry you, the Liang family's business wouldn't be handed over to me, would I have married you? Now that the old man is dead, I don't need to pretend anymore. The one I've always liked is Jiao Jiao."

  Yun Xi took a step back and sat down on the cold bench. So it was like this, just because of Grandfather Liang's agreement with her grandfather, everything was a scam. But if he hadn't pestered her back then, saying he loved her, she wouldn't have agreed to the marriage arrangement set by her grandfather either. She looked up at him with hatred, yet with a hint of expectation: "Then did you ever have any true feelings?"

  "No!" Liang Huatian said cruelly.

  "Hehe." What's there to expect, anyway? After getting married, he changed right away. Everything became perfunctory. There were also rumors outside, but she didn't want to believe them. She was just waiting for him to say it himself. She thought that having a child would make him better, but it seems like he doesn't care at all. Since that's the case, she's free now. The last bit of feeling she had for him was also destroyed by what he said earlier. So she might as well go back to being herself, no need to pretend to be gentle to please her mother-in-law, no need to suppress herself anymore.

  "Don't worry, I'll move out today. If it wasn't for Uncle Liang's persistent requests back then, do you think I would have fulfilled the marriage agreement?" After saying that, she turned a deaf ear to the two of them and walked towards the house. Having thought it through, her heart also felt lighter. These past few days, she had been thinking if she was wrong, if she shouldn't have been soft-hearted, if she shouldn't have agreed to him because of his gentleness.

  Yun Qingran had heard that Yun Xi was driven out in her previous life, but she never told the detailed process. It's just a scam to hurt people. In order to get the Liang family's property, sooner or later, she will make them lose everything and let them experience the feeling of falling from high altitude.

  Yun Xi slowly packed up her belongings, only to suddenly realize that apart from the dowry prepared by her parents when she got married, she had nothing else. In this Liang family, she had never gained anything, and it wasn't until now that she discovered this problem.

  Looking at these few things, she suddenly thought that although there were not many things, they were not something a pregnant woman like her could move on her own. She had to run to the neighbor's house, Zhou Dama, who usually took good care of her, and ask her to let her son go to her home to help her carry these things and tell her father to come pick her up.
