"Sister, have you come to see our mother?"

"No, I'll come and see Mrs. Qiao Lu."

"After all these years, you still haven't forgiven us?"

"After so many years, can you have a little heart for good? Can you get rid of your selfishness?"

Speaking of this, the eldest daughter-in-law lowered her head, and Yuan Jiaqi sighed inwardly.

Qiao Mai pushed the door open and walked in, "I don't have time to stay here, where is Qiao Lu?"

"Mother was lying in the room, sleeping most of the time"

Qiao Mai walked into the upper room, the room was bright and there was no peculiar smell, it seemed that Qiao Lu didn't suffer much after being ill.

The eldest daughter-in-law came to the kang and called softly.

"Mother, mother, Maizi has come to see you."

I don't know if she heard Qiao Mai's name, but Qiao Lu slowly opened her eyes. The moment she saw Qiao Mai, she shed tears of regret.

"Master, you go out first"

"Ai"

Qiao Mai looked at her calmly, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

"Maizi, I'm sorry"

"It's too late"

"Mother knows"

"you do not know,"

"What did you tell your father that year? He cried bitterly afterwards and regretted it all the time."

"You want to know?"

"Mother is going to die, why don't you let mother be a ghost?"

Qiao Mai glanced at Yuan Jiaqi, and said slowly, "Your Qiao Mai had already passed away that night at Tian's house."

Qiao Lu's face turned pale, "Her? Her? Then you?"

"It's just the soul on the first floor to replace this body"

"No wonder you don't accept us"

"Wrong, it's not that I don't accept it, it's that you, Wang, are parents. When your child encounters difficulties and setbacks, you not only don't help, but also make things worse. She has reached such a point, and you still want to learn from him." Blood sucking, what reason do you have for me to treat you well? Are you worthy?"

Qiao Lu's lips trembled, "Yes, I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it"

When Yuan Jiaqi heard this, he was also shocked. It turned out that his wife was not the original Qiao Mai.

No wonder, although he was shocked, he didn't say much.

Seeing Qiao Mai turn around and leave the house, he followed behind, Qiao Mai would have left some money for the eldest house of the Qiao family, but when she returned to the house and saw that the kang was empty, she was still a little disappointed.

Qiao Lu kept muttering, "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it"

The couple rode horses and walked slowly on the official road.

"Miss?"

"Are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid, my lady is so kind to this family, to me and the children, what are you afraid of?"

"That's why I'm not nice to them. I'm wrong, I make mistakes again and again, and I don't repent when I die, why should I treat them nicely?"

"Oh~ I'm afraid the two of the Yuan family are also like this. They are weak, and they want me to soften my heart and give them some money so that they can live better."

"Then go to Xinghua Village?"

"We're fine now, let's go take a look?"

"Okay, I'll be with you"

The couple then went to Xinghua Village, and the Yuan family did not expect that the two of them would come together.

As soon as they entered the house, all members of the Yuan family came over.

They wanted to salute the two of them, but Yuan Jiaqi refused. Seeing the Yuan family's parents on the kang, Qiao Mai fell silent for a moment, and stretched out his hand to feel their pulse.

"It's okay, I've suffered from a bit of cold, and my body is strong. Did the doctor prescribe medicine?"

"open, open"

"Well, it's fine then"

Seeing Yuan Jiaqi, Yuan's parents tugged at his sleeves excitedly, "Son, you finally came to see us."

Yuan Jiaqi had a cold face, "Don't think too much, I'm just here to take a look,"

"It's enough to see us,"

"It's okay, let's go"

"Son, son, don't go, we are wrong, please forgive us?"

"wrong?"

"Yes, it is"

"Have you ever burned paper in front of Chuan'er's mother? Have you ever said sorry to her?"

Mentioning this, the old couple stopped humming, and the Yuan family snorted coldly.

"Is this a mistake? You didn't even apologize for harming someone's life. Why should I forgive you?"

The Yuan family got up and went out, Qiao Mai followed behind him, and the Yuan clan followed.

"Home! You!"

"I'm doing fine, don't worry about it"

The Yuan family helped Qiao Mai get on the horse at first, and then got on the horse himself. He didn't miss this place at all.

The members of the Yuan clan, especially the patriarch, stamped their feet and beat their chests in regret.

"It's been so many years, and he still hasn't forgiven us."

"That's right, our Yuan family had a prince, and he disappeared like this. This should be the time when our Yuan family should be prosperous, alas~"

"In the future, we must unite as one, so that such things cannot happen again."

"Yeah, it's said that a man can't do without his family if he develops well, and we can't do without him."

The patriarch of the Yuan clan looked at Yuan Jiaqi and Qiao Mai who were going away, and wiped away his sad old tears. One by one, he couldn't do it well, thinking that after becoming an official, he must have the support of the family. Poor families, what can they rely on? They are rich and powerful, and they are their own reliance.

Back in the town, looking at the familiar place, Qiao Mai said with emotion.

"Go home feeling good!"

The old emperor and empress rested for a few days, and finally turned around. The two of them walked around Jixiang Garden in a rare way.

The warm shed in the backyard was looked at by the two of them, and they finally realized why Princess Fu liked it here.

As soon as you enter the house, it is as warm as spring, and as soon as you leave the house, it is icy and snowy. No matter where you go, you will feel fresh.

Hearing that they came back, they had to pick them up at the door.

"Mother-in-law, where have you been?"

"Go out and have a look, are you two still used to being here?"

"Of course, your snack shop is similar to the one in Beijing, we all like it"

"It's a pity that I came back late, otherwise I could see the market in the north"

"I see that your place is also very lively, and there are still people setting up the beach outside."

"Well, the town is more than ten times larger than before. With more people, more supplies are needed. The mayor of the town is a member of the imperial court Qian's family."

"Well, well managed"

"Of course, there are not many good mayors like this, and they work hard and pay money."

"Do you want me to promote him?"

"Cut, who cares"

"Ha ha"

Over the years, Tianshui Town has become richer, and every household started setting off cannons before they were thirty, which is full of the flavor of the new year.

That night, Qiao Mai bought a lot of fireworks from the platform.

Even if there are no children around, adults can set it off. From this day on, the fireworks and cannons have never stopped.

In the Imperial City Palace in the capital, after the crown prince and Ling'er had dinner, they digested food in the yard.

"It's Chinese New Year, Father and the others must have arrived in Tianshui Town by this time?"

"It should be, mother is counting the days, I also want to celebrate the New Year there,"

"Don't feel bored. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I held a Lantern Festival for you. When the time comes, I will take you to see it?"

Ling'er shook her head, "Just take a look at it from a distance, now is an extraordinary period, let's protect our children."

The prince's eyes flashed, and then he nodded, "What the princess said is true"

In Jixiangyuan, Jiamei is holding the child, while Chuaner is guarding her.

"Dad and mother are not here, the house is empty"

"Well, my mother is so cruel, she won't come back after she said she will go back,"

Chuan'er pinched her little nose, "Mother, in order to be strong, to better protect us,"

"I know, I just feel that my mother is here, full of confidence"

"No, we have to guard here."

Thirty nights, the old emperor and empress were both drunk and at home, and Princess Fu's territory was gone, so there was nothing to worry about.

The Yuan family also drank a little too much, they all liked the relaxing feeling.

On the first day of the new year, Qiao Mai and Yuan Jiaqi entertained relatives and friends in the small town at home. They haven't seen each other for many years. Their children all married wives and had children. If they didn't introduce each other, they might not know each other when they met.
