Chapter 245: shuhaige.net

Deng Shi stumbled up, she hurried her steps while staggering, and at the same time looked back to see if anyone was chasing her from behind, fearing that the masked person would suddenly appear behind her.

She didn't know where Mu Yuanzhi was now, but she knew that waiting outside the manor she would certainly be able to wait for her.

So she also paid no attention to the comings and goings, just crouching and keeping watch nearby.

Deng Shi dared not get too close, afraid she would be driven away; she couldn't be driven away before her daughter returned!

The guards stationed outside had naturally already noticed Deng Shi; they had previously been ordered to be polite to ordinary civilians and not to use force.

But this woman before them was clearly not an ordinary civilian, she was a noisy madwoman.

They thought that as long as she still dared to approach, they could take the opportunity to drive her away.

Deng Shi naturally knew the guards' thoughts, she didn't dare to get close at all, and honestly just crouched here.

Until dusk, when she was about to lose patience waiting, she finally saw the longed-for figure!

"Zhi'er!"

Mu Yuanzhi frowned, "How are you still here?"

Qilin was furious: "Senior Sister, I'll go teach her a lesson!"

"Don't rush, wait for her to make the first move, then we'll have just cause." Mu Yuanzhi said.

Qilin could only nod, he walked in front of Mu Yuanzhi, afraid that this woman would hurt his senior sister.

"Zhi'er, please forgive me, Mother!" Deng Shi said, kneeling again just as before, using the bitter meat ploy, not only for Mu Yuanzhi to see, but also for passersby to see.

"You're not my mother, you yourself said it, the thing you regret most is raising this white-eyed wolf of a daughter." Mu Yuanzhi sneered.

The first time she heard those words, she felt the sky was about to collapse; now repeating them herself, she didn't even feel a hint of bitterness.

Once a person's heart dies, it will never come back to life.

Her feelings for Deng Shi were long gone.

Deng Shi regretted so much her intestines felt cleared, she beat her chest and cried: "It's all Mother's blind eye, Pei Yunxi is the white-eyed wolf, it's Mother's blind eye, Mother is sorry to you!"

Her gaze fell on Mu Yuanzhi's forehead, where the scar had disappeared, as if the harm she had caused had never existed; yet just like the invisible barrier between mother and daughter, it blocked them, making it impossible to return to the past.

Deng Shi couldn't understand how she could have been so cruel back then; she had raised this obedient daughter in her palms for so many years, how could she strike so harshly?

She seemed to be possessed, again and again harming the daughter who loved her so much!

Mu Yuanzhi raised an eyebrow curiously: "Your Highness, have you finally seen your precious daughter?"

Is it because of something Pei Yunxi did?

How blindly Deng Shi doted on Pei Yunxi, she had kept it deep in her memory for two lifetimes; even if they laid out the evidence of Pei Yunxi harming her repeatedly before her, Deng Shi would consider it slander and would never pretend to be nice just to please her.

But now she actually says her own heart-and-soul treasure is a white-eyed wolf?

Upon hearing this, Deng Shi's whole face changed, her eyes complex with grief, regret, unease, self-blame, and many other emotions Mu Yuanzhi couldn't discern.

One can imagine Deng Shi's recent experience must have been quite remarkable!

"Let me guess, is she indifferent to whether you live or die?"

Mu Yuanzhi's words caused Deng Shi's expression to change again dramatically.

As it turns out, only she was unaware of Pei Yunxi's malice……

Zhi'er had long seen through it, Zhi'er is truly clever, the Zhi'er she raised is indeed clever……

Deng Shi said nothing, tears poured down like rain.

She is now a heartbroken, desperate old mother, abandoned by her birth daughter, coming before her adoptive daughter to beg for forgiveness.

"What a pity, you woke up too late; everything is your own doing." Qilin spat.

"Zhi'er, give Mother one chance, Mother will do anything, Mother will spend the rest of her life to make it up to you!" Deng Shi lifted her head, gazing at Mu Yuanzhi with an aggressive look.

In a daze, she seemed to see her obedient childhood daughter, she gleefully lunged into her embrace to act coquettish: "I like Mother Consort the most!"

Zhi'er liked this Mother Consort the most, and the Mother Consort also liked Zhi'er the most!

But reality was a blow to the head; when her tears faded, all she saw was Mu Yuanzhi's cold face tinged with mockery.

Deng Shi's heart turned completely cold in an instant.

Where did her Zhi'er go!?

She had lost her……

Disappeared……

Mu Yuanzhi: "Your Highness, I've said it before, if you keep causing trouble unreasonably, I'll have no choice but to send you to the great prison to reunite with your sons; it seems you really want to eat prison food?"

"Good!" Deng Shi nodded, nodding repeatedly, "As long as you can forgive Mother, Mother can go to prison!"

In the prison there are Nian'er and Ling'er, she hasn't seen them in a long time, not knowing how much they've suffered, whether they can endure, those two delicate and precious individuals……

Qilin found it amusing: "Who would have such a fetish, fine, I'll indulge you!"

Mu Yuanzhi also glanced at Deng Shi in puzzlement, then turned and went inside.

Qilin had people lock Deng Shi in the great prison.

Deng Shi, after all, was someone accustomed to being pampered; as soon as she arrived at this kind of place, she immediately became afraid—dim and dirty, everywhere damp and full of rats.

Did she have to stay in this ghostly place?

Deng Shi felt a bit regretful.

She shouldn't have acted on a moment's anger; there are many ways to seek her daughter's forgiveness, as long as she persists, she will surely succeed!

Why come here to suffer?

How much suffering have her Nian'er and Ling Ge endured in this kind of place?

"Mother Consort?!"

Upon seeing Deng Shi, Pei Shangling jumped up in shock.

He had been locked back in the great prison for many days already, to the point he didn't even know what day it was.

After the Symbiotic Gu was undone, he first ran a high fever and was unconscious for several days and nights, then gradually recovered, after which he was thrown back into the great prison; Xiao Yichen came to see him several times, saying that if he were willing to defect, he could leave, otherwise he would just wait for death.

He may not care, but he would never dare rebel against Father Emperor! That would be high treason, deserving of heavenly thunder.

He doesn't care, but he would absolutely never rebel against Father Emperor! This is high treason, worthy of being struck by heavenly thunder.

How could he possibly stand by and watch Father Emperor's realm be overthrown by rebels?

Pei Shangling was surprised to see the mother consort here; shouldn't she be in the capital?

"Mother consort? How did you end up dressed like this…?"

His clothes were nearly beggar‑like, he was utterly disheveled, and he almost didn't recognize her!

"Mother consort? How did you end up dressed like this…?" We'll translate: '"Mother consort? How did you come to be dressed like this…?"'

His clothes were nearly beggar‑like, he was utterly disheveled, and he almost didn't recognize her!

"His clothes were almost beggar‑like, he was utterly disheveled, and he barely recognized her!"

What exactly happened?

"What on earth happened?" We'll translate.

Could it be Gu Rongjin?

"Could it be Gu Rongjin?"

"Ling'er!" Madame Deng, upon seeing Pei Shangling, wanted to cry; she broke free from the jailer and went over, and the jailer, seeing she couldn't stir up any trouble, didn't stop her.

"Ling'er!" Madame Deng, upon seeing Pei Shangling, wanted to cry; she broke free from the jailer and went over, and the jailer, seeing she couldn't stir up any trouble, didn't stop her.

"Ling'er! You've suffered!" Madame Deng wept, tears streaming down her face.

'"Ling'er! You have suffered!" Madame Deng wept, tears streaming down her face.' We'll translate.

Her son, born holding a gold key, noble and luxurious, has become a prisoner, covered in wounds and illness, truly making her heart feel like it's being cut by a knife!

Pei Shangling shook his head; he only wanted to know what happened to his mother: 'Mother, what exactly is going on? Was it Gu Rongjin who harmed you?!'

Pei Shangling shook his head; he only wanted to know what happened to his mother: 'Mother, what exactly is going on? Was it Gu Rongjin who harmed you?!'

He was going to go all out against Gu Rongjin!
