The life swap begins with Consort Hua becoming Lady Qin.

"Mother!"

"grandmother!"

The courtyard was immediately thrown into chaos.

Xu was unconscious and did not wake up until after dusk. She found herself lying on the couch in the room. It was dark outside the window, and the room was lit with a light, with a faint smell of medicine permeating the air.

Lin Qinshuang and Wei Jing'an were both guarding the bedside. When they saw her open her eyes, they quickly came over.

"Mother, are you feeling better?"

Xu said softly, "I'm fine."

She paused for a moment before looking at the two of them: "Let's leave it at that for today."

Lin Qinshuang's eyes flickered slightly, but Wei Jing'an remained expressionless.

Xu didn't even look at them, and continued, "I know Sheng Hong better than anyone. He values ​​his future and reputation the most. Now that I'm forcing the Wang family to ruin his future, he will definitely hate me and that poisonous woman to the bone."

"We can't touch either of these two people. Wang Ruo is the only one Jing'an has relied on all along. If we were to abandon them now, it would be tantamount to cutting ourselves off from the court. The other one is my son whom I raised since he was a child. He may be ruthless, but I cannot be heartless. Otherwise, Shuang'er and these two children will surely be criticized by outsiders when they travel outside."

She spoke very slowly, as if each sentence was expending great effort, but she still insisted on finishing:

"Fortunately, these two are the same at heart. They are selfish and ruthless. Let them be bound together for the rest of their lives, never to break free, and let them settle scores with each other. When they can no longer stand each other in the future, they will put an end to each other, and my revenge will be complete. You should just live your lives well now and never let your efforts be ruined because of me or because of a moment of anger."

After Xu finished speaking, her chest heaved violently, and she soon began to cough weakly.

Lin Qinshuang was so frightened that she panicked and said urgently, "I'll send someone to fetch a doctor again."

Xu waved her hand.

"No need. I'm just tired and want to be alone and rest." She caught her breath and looked at Lin Qinshuang again, "You were frightened too. Go and apply some medicine quickly and get some rest. Don't delay treating the wound on your face, and don't get your palms wet."

Lin Qinshuang shook her head: "I'm not leaving. I'll stay here with my mother."

Changfeng stepped forward and said softly, "Mother, you should go and apply the medicine. My sister and I will take care of Grandmother here."

Mo Lan nodded, her eyes red, "Mother, you go ahead. My brother and I will stay with Grandmother."

Lin Qinshuang was still worried, but Madam Xu had already closed her eyes, as if she was truly exhausted. She had no choice but to follow Wei Jing'an out, turning back every few steps.

After the room quieted down, Madam Xu lay down with her back to everyone.

She didn't say anything more.

Tears silently slid down her cheeks and soaked into the pillow.

Did she get her revenge? Probably she did.

She knew without even thinking how crazy and hateful Sheng Hong would become after his future was ruined.

Wang Ruoyu is unlikely to have a good end; she will get her revenge sooner or later.

But the pain in my heart was still unbearable.

Today is the greatest humiliation of her life, second only to the day her own son died in her arms.

Wang Ruoyu's arrogance, the protection of the Wang family, and her restraint when seeking revenge all repeatedly reminded her how wrong she had been back then, and also reminded her that the glory of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion, which she once relied on and was so proud of, was long gone.

How dare someone as insignificant as Wang Ruoyu come to our door like this?

When she seeks revenge, she must be so restrained and tactful.

Hey!

As Xu cried, she unknowingly fell asleep again.

When she woke up again, she was still a little dazed.

The room was dimly lit, but suddenly Mo Lan's voice, filled with surprise and deliberately lowered, came through: "Grandmother is awake."

Soon, the lights in the room were turned up a bit more.

Changfeng walked over carrying the bowl of medicine. Seeing that Xu Shi had woken up, a smile immediately appeared on his face: "The medicine is ready, Grandmother, please drink it first. Sister, where's the candied fruit?"

"It's here."

Mo Lan immediately brought over a small plate, her tone very serious: "I know Grandmother dislikes bitterness. How can she drink her medicine without candied fruit? Just like us."

Looking at the smiling faces of her two children, Xu felt a weight lift from her heart.

Changfeng sat by the couch, carefully helping her up and feeding her the medicine little by little with a spoon. He had served Xu Shi medicine before, but today he was exceptionally attentive, even testing the medicine to see if it was too cold or too bitter.

After finishing her medicine, Mo Lan immediately seized the opportunity and fed Xu Shi a candied fruit to her lips.

"Grandma, eat quickly."

The sweetness melts on the tip of the tongue.

Xu's expression softened somewhat.

As Mo Lan adjusted the cushions for her, she whispered, "Grandmother, get well soon. When you're better, take me to play polo and archery."

Xu was taken aback, then couldn't help but laugh: "Why do you suddenly want to learn these things? Don't you hate these things the most? Before, when I asked you to go out for a run, you always said the sun was too strong and the wind hurt your face."

Mo Lan bit her lip.

She lowered her head, clutching her handkerchief, her voice muffled: "Studying is useless. If I learn these skills, next time thieves come, I won't be so helpless, just watching them...they..."

Before she could finish speaking, tears streamed down her face again, and she threw herself into Xu's arms.

From the time she could remember, her mother told her why she had stayed behind to care for her grandmother, and why she and her brother were surnamed Xu instead of Wei.

But she only said that it was because her grandmother raised an unfilial son from a concubine since childhood, so she and her brother never really felt it deeply.

Father had always been stationed away from home, only returning to the capital to mourn his grandfather's death many years ago, spending a few years with them there. The rest of the time, they grew up in this house with their grandmother and mother. Life was carefree and happy. Their surnames seemed to have no particular importance.

But today, a group of thugs came to their door, all menacing, trying to kidnap her grandmother and Fang Mama. She and her mother tried their best, but they couldn't stop them. Later, after hearing Wang Ruoyu's vicious words, she suddenly realized that if her grandmother hadn't left with her mother to start their own household, she probably wouldn't have survived under that kind of vicious woman.

It was only today that she truly understood her mother's decision and why she had to take the surname Xu.

Mo Lan buried her face in Xu Shi's arms, her shoulders trembling as she cried, "Grandmother, from now on, Mother and I will protect you together. We will never let anyone bully you again."

Her surname is Xu, which is the same as her grandmother's.

Having been raised and educated by my grandmother, I must protect her and care for her until her death!

Mo Lan even decided that even if her brother was not good enough in the future and found his sweetheart like her father, but couldn't keep a child with the surname Xu, she would definitely fight for her future husband to the end until she brought back a child with the surname Xu for her grandmother!
