“Xiaolu, Xiaoling, it’s my greatest blessing to have two daughters like you in my life. In the blink of an eye, you’ve all grown up, started a family, and have children. Soon, your grandchildren will have a family. Although Xiaolu isn’t married, I believe that you’ll live a very free and happy life. In the future, if you have someone you like and I’m no longer around when you’re married, bring him to my grave to toast me. That’ll be good.”

Madam Zhao stroked Su Xiaolu’s hair gently and said gently.

Su Xiaolu felt a lump in her throat. She nodded. She would. She definitely would.

Madam Zhao then said to Su Xiaoling, “Weiwei and Xuanxuan are brave, beautiful, and confident. They chose their ideal husbands themselves. They’re getting married soon. Mother has already prepared their dowry. Xiao Huan and

Xiaoqing haven’t been decided yet. If mother can’t wait for that day, when the time comes, get them to bring them over for me to take a look. Zhuo’er, he’s the Crown Prince. Mother won’t have to worry about his marriage. All of you must have a good life.”

Su Xiaoling nodded with red eyes.

Madam Zhao yawned. “I don’t know what’s going on today, but I feel a lot of emotions just looking at you. It’s getting late. You should go to sleep. Mother will return to her room. If I don’t go back, your father won’t be able to sleep.”

As Madam Zhao spoke, she stood up and returned.

Su Xiaolu and Su Xiaoling sent her to the door.

Su Xiaolu hugged Madam Zhao tightly and choked. “Mother, I’m very happy to be your daughter in this life. Thank you, Mother.”

Su Xiaoling also hugged Madam Zhao. “Mother, I’m also very happy to be your daughter in this life. I’ve never felt bitter. The past was also very, very sweet.

Thank you, Father and Mother.”

When she was young, she had been beaten up many times, but those beatings and scoldings were soothed by Madam Zhao’s gentle touch. She remembered the hardships, but she also remembered her gentle parents and two silly but very obedient brothers.

Madam Zhao looked at her two daughters and her eyes inexplicably turned red.

She smiled helplessly and said, “Look at me, why am I sighing about the past?

I’ve made you cry. God knows how happy I am to be your mother in this life.

Alright, alright, it’s time to sleep.”

Madam Zhao smiled and comforted Su Xiaolu and Su Xiaoling.

Madam Zhao returned to her room. Everything was normal.

Su Xiaoling’s heart was indescribably empty. She looked at Su Xiaolu and realized that Su Xiaolu was crying non-stop. Su Xiaoling was a little flustered.

“Xiaolu…”

Su Xiaolu smiled through her tears. “Sis, it’s fine. Go to sleep.”

Su Xiaoling pursed her lips and understood everything. She did not ask further and just cried silently.

Madam Zhao returned to her room. As expected, Su Sanlang was still awake. Madam Zhao smiled and said, “Sanlang, I knew you wouldn’t be able to sleep.”

Su Sanlang smiled gently and said, “In this world, the person who understands me the most is you. Come and sleep. The blanket is warm.”

Su Sanlang slept on the outside. He had already warmed up Madam Zhao’s spot on the inside.

Madam Zhao got into bed and smiled. Su Sanlang subconsciously reached out to hug Madam Zhao. Before the two of them were sleepy, he was used to hugging Madam Zhao like this.

Madam Zhao leaned against Su Sanlang’s chest and said, “Sanlang, I don’t know what’s wrong with me today. I thought of many things in the past. Sanlang, do you still remember that when I was pregnant with Chong, you secretly dug moss for me to eat? When Second Sister-in-law saw you, she even laughed at you.”

Madam Zhao had not thought of Madam Li, Madam Zhou, and Su Xiaozhi for a long time. Perhaps she had been inspired today, she kept thinking about the past.

Su Sanlang smiled and said, “How can I not remember?”

At that time, he was also young and loved Madam Zhao. He deeply understood that this was his wife. He had to treat her well. Even if his parents were mean, he would do his best.

Madam Zhao had morning sickness and wanted to eat something sweet, but there were no fruits and candy for her to eat.

The delicious food in the mountains had long been taken away. It was not easy for him to find it, so he naturally gave everything to Madam Zhao.

When Madam Zhou saw him, she mocked him sarcastically. He ignored her.

“Sanlang, it’s my fortune to meet you. I’m so happy to have you by my side in this life.’

Madam Zhao approached Su Sanlang and said.

Su Sanlang turned his head and kissed Madam Zhao’s forehead gently. “It’s my fortune to meet you.”

Madam Zhao smiled shyly and talked about many things from the past.

Su Sanlang listened and occasionally responded.

When it came to sad things, they would be depressed for a while. When it came to happy things, the two of them smiled foolishly again.

Su Sanlang hugged Madam Zhao tightly and could not help but kiss her forehead many times. The past surfaced in Madam Zhao’s memories.

Unknowingly, it was already late at night.

“Sanlang, did you regret leaving home that year?”

Madam Zhao asked softly. After so many years, they had no more news of the Su family. She did not know if they were still alive or if they had already passed away.

All those grudges were put aside after Madam Wang and Old Master Su passed away. They were like strangers and did not interact with each other anymore.

But had Su Sanlang ever regretted it?

When one was old, there were more and more things they could forgive. Did they ever regret it?

Without hesitation, Su Sanlang replied firmly, “No, I never regretted making that decision. I only regret that I did it too late and made you suffer so much. If I had given up sooner, we would have had a better life.”

He had never regretted it. Even now, if he only revealed a little bit of money between his fingers, he could make the Su family live very well. After all, he was now a relative of the emperor. His two sons were officials, and his two daughters were glorious and mighty figures.

Even so, he did not regret it. His only regret was that he had come to his senses too late. He should not have fantasized again and again. He should have given up earlier. If he had given up earlier, Madam Zhao would not have been in danger during childbirth.

In fact, Su Hua wouldn’t have had to burn his brain because of the high fever. These were the things he regretted. As a father, he hadn’t been a good father.

Those were things he could not make up for no matter what. He could not go back to the past.

“In that case, I’m relieved.”

Madam Zhao completely relaxed.

“Darling, I’ve let you down a lot in this life. I’ll definitely make it up to you in my next life.”

Su Sanlang held Madam Zhao’s hand and said gently.

“No, no. You haven’t let me down in this life. You’ve done very well, but if there’s a next life, I still want to be with you.”

Madam Zhao smiled and leaned gently against Su Sanlang. She felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and her voice became very soft. “Sanlang, I’m sleepy…”

“Alright, it’s settled then. Sleep if you want. I’m sleepy too. Darling, see you in my dreams.” Su Sanlang kissed Madam Zhao’s forehead gently again. His eyelids were also very heavy.

She wanted to hear more clearly what he was saying, but she couldn’t. She was so sleepy. It didn’t matter if she couldn’t hear clearly. She would listen more carefully tomorrow. At the very least, they still had a next life together. They had already agreed.

Su Sanlang also fell asleep with a smile. The couple was like one person. They stayed awake together. When they wanted to sleep, they fell asleep together..
