After Transmigration, Her Whole Family Are Villains

Chapter 294

Snow sealed off the mountains and waters.

It repainted the world anew.

The weather turned much colder.

The fireplace burned.

The princess thought she had gone mad again.

Unable to distinguish between life and death.

Not only did she see her dead child,

But she had even imagined what he would look like grown up.

She found herself utterly ridiculous.

Always so skilled at deceiving herself.

And the deceptions grew more and more real.

She could even imagine such detailed scenes as the persimmons on the stove cracking open from the heat.

She even smelled the fragrance of dates.

Saw the dates start to smoke.

They caught fire.

She saw a little figure, using tongs to throw the burning dates into the tea.

The fire went out.

Princess Huiyun was stunned.

It wasn't a dream.

The little one, having finished with the dates, saw her face streaming with tears.

Mianmian cautiously asked, "Grandma, are you crying because you're envious of my mother's big family? If you'd like, I can be your mealtime companion from now on. You can call for me when you eat."

Princess Huiyun was called back to reality by the child's words.

She thought she was hallucinating.

But to her surprise,

When she looked up, the person was still there.

And was even walking towards her.

The little one ran up to the man.

Throwing herself into his arms, sweetly calling him "Papa."

Her damp, slightly cool hand was grasped by the man.

He gently rubbed it a few times.

They were right in front of her now.

The princess's eyes were red.

But she wore a mask.

Qin Luoxia pulled her husband over.

Smiling, she said, "Aunt, I've brought my husband."

Jiang Changtian was a bit confused, wondering where this aunt came from. His father Jiang Bai's sisters shouldn't be here, they had all passed away.

"Feng is about to get married. If you come, the wedding will surely be more complete and grand. You missed Yu's wedding, but you're just in time for Feng's. Later you can see Cong Brother get married, and Mianmian get married off. Your best days are still ahead, let's not cry anymore, Auntie."

Qin Luoxia spoke while patting her aunt's back, very gently.

But it still nearly sent Princess Huiyun to her grave.

Princess Huiyun coughed several times.

Then her mask fell off.

Everyone saw an old lady who looked very much like Mianmian?

Not exactly an old lady, very beautiful, but aged. She had a patch of scars on her face, looking somewhat disheveled, but still strikingly attractive.

Seeing such a face, Jiang Changtian was stunned.

He stood before the woman, shocked into taking a few steps back.

The sky began to snow heavily, large flakes drifting down, landing on his head, face, and body.

He suddenly cried out: "Mother?"

Somewhat hesitant, somewhat unfamiliar, somewhat...

After calling out once, he couldn't manage a second time, his mouth opening, slightly trembling.

Tears also rolled from his eyes.

He had called Old Lady Jiang "Mother" thousands of times, and each time she had responded with undisguised disgust.

Looking at the person before him, he fell to his knees in the snow.

Not feeling the cold.

He also feared it was a dream.

The icy snow would remind him this wasn't a dream.

But Princess Huiyun felt the pain.

She could kneel herself, but her child could not.

Even if this was just a delusion during an episode, she wouldn't allow her child to kneel in the snow. How cold it must be.

"The snow is cold. You mustn't kneel. Get up."

He still didn't rise, continuing to look up at her, calling out once more: "Mother."

She didn't dare respond, her lips quivering.

She feared that if she answered, everything would disappear.

"Mother, how could you be so cruel? Do you know how I've lived all these years? When I was little, I was often locked in a pitch-black room. She always said I was evil spawn, that evil lurked in my eyes. She wouldn't let me eat, she made me kneel in the snow, she let dogs eat meat in front of me, making me - starved for days - fight dogs for food, then said I was worse than a dog. She said I was unfilial and unbrotherly, unfit to be human. She said I seduced my sister-in-law and had designs on her. She said I poisoned my own father. She said I was born evil... I just wanted to survive, Mother. Do you know how hard it's been for me to live?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't know. I didn't know you were alive. I'm sorry, I don't deserve to be a mother. I didn't know..."

Princess Huiyun trembled all over.

Each sentence the man before her spoke felt like another cut to her heart.

She didn't know. She didn't know her child was still alive, living such a difficult life.

No wonder Qin carried so many weapons when she went out.

Who was it? Who had harmed her and her son?

She wanted them all dead.

Cut into a thousand pieces.

"Mother is here. Mother is alive. As long as Mother lives, she won't let anyone bully you again. Whoever bullies you, Mother will help you get revenge. Mother promises. Will you please get up now?"
