Yun Jin said no more, nodded, got up, and left the courtyard with the four of them and Dong Xue.

Back at the Yun residence, Yun Jin asked the four people, "What are your names?"

The two men were named Qingfeng and Guren, and the two women were named Mingyue and Anxiang.

Let Dongxue take Qingfeng and Guren to Yunlang's courtyard.

He then took Mingyue and Anxiang and quietly went to Qingshuiyuan.

Upon arriving outside Qingshui Garden, she gave the two a few instructions, and then watched as their figures flashed and disappeared from sight.

She then knocked on the door and went inside.

Chu Wanqing was leaning against the kang (a heated brick bed) in a daze, lost in thought. The room was warm and cozy, but her hands were still icy cold.

Hearing footsteps, she looked up, saw Yun Jin, and her eyes immediately welled up with tears.

She reached out her hand and waved to her: "Jin'er..., you've come."

Yun Jin walked over quickly and sat down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).

Chu Wanqing hugged her tightly and pulled her into her arms: "Jin'er, Mother had a dream, a very, very long dream."

Yun Jin's fingers paused slightly, but she remained silent.

Chu Wanqing raised her head and looked at her, her eyes filled with heartache: "I dreamed of my past life, and only then did I realize how much suffering you had endured... Before, I had only heard you talk about it, and I didn't feel it so deeply, but I experienced it firsthand in my dream, and I realized how vicious they were... Yun Heting, Liu Zhixue, and Yun Xiu, they conspired to deceive us, mother and daughter, for so many years..."

Yun Jin reached out to wipe away her tears and said softly, "Mother, that's all in the past."

Chu Wanqing shook her head, tears welling up again, her voice trembling: "Mother is sorry... for making you suffer so much in the countryside for so many years... Mother is sorry..."

She held Yun Jin's hand and asked earnestly, word by word, "Jin'er, tell your mother, Jin'er, did you also have that kind of dream? Do you also know about your past life?"

Yun Jin was stunned for a moment, realizing that her experience was indeed somewhat unbelievable, and perhaps dreaming was a better explanation.

So she nodded: "Yes, Mother, I did dream about my past life. I dreamed that they switched me with someone else and took me to Qingping County. I dreamed that Yunxiu took my place and lived a life of luxury. I dreamed that they married me off to a scoundrel and that I was tortured to death by him..."

Upon hearing her words, Chu Wanqing burst into tears, repeatedly apologizing, "Daughter... Mother was so foolish..."

Yun Jin pulled her into her arms, rested her chin on the top of her head, and whispered, "Mother, don't cry. Those things happened in the past life. This life is different. Those things won't happen again in this life."

She paused, straightened Chu Wanqing's head, looked into her eyes, and said, word by word, "Mother, in this life, I will be with you. Together, we will make those evil people get what they deserve."

Chu Wanqing nodded vigorously, wiping away her tears: "Jin'er, you are very strong. Thank you for coming back, thank you for letting me know the truth in time. In this life, whether it's Yun Heting or Liu Zhixue, they will never be able to push Yunxiu into that position!"

Looking into her resolute eyes, Yun Jin knew that Chu Wanqing had truly awakened at this moment. She nodded vigorously, "Mother, no matter how difficult things get from now on, your daughter will always be by your side!"

Chu Wanqing nodded before recounting her conversations with Lan Ying and Yun Heting. Then she said, "Today your maternal grandmother told me her plans. She'll help your father transfer to a different department, giving him a foothold in court and making him more valuable to the Fifth Prince. Once the Fifth Prince fully trusts and values ​​him, once Yunxiu marries the Fifth Prince, once they think everything is under control, then we'll..."

She didn't continue, but Yun Jin understood what she meant. She nodded and told her what she had found out, including the child who looked somewhat like Yun Lang.

Mentioning that child, she couldn't help but ask Chu Wanqing, "Mother, that child looks a lot like Lang Ge'er. I'm wondering, could it be that you gave birth to more than one Lang Ge'er, but twins? Or perhaps they switched Lang Ge'er as well...?"

She herself was somewhat unsure about what she was saying.

Chu Wanqing recalled carefully for a moment, then said with certainty, "I am certain that I only gave birth to Lang Ge'er. I was awake the whole time he was born, and he has almost never left my sight since. Furthermore, if Lang Ge'er was not my child, Yun Heting and Liu Zhixue would have no reason to poison him."

This is also why she is not sure.

She hesitated before asking, "Then who exactly is that child that Liu Zhixue visits every month? What do they want to do with that child?"

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Mother, Liu Zhixue must have a use for him. Do you think that their poisoning of Lang Ge'er might be... an attempt to use that child to replace Lang Ge'er...?"

She wanted to say that they poisoned Yunlang and then used that child to replace him, but that was a cruel statement.

Chu Wanqing's face paled, and she hesitated before saying, "But this scene wasn't in my dream from my past life."

Yun Jin: ...This scene wasn't in the information I received from Tuoba Hui.

She thought for a moment and said, "Mother, I didn't see it in my dreams either. Perhaps... it's because their plan went smoothly in their past life, so they didn't have to use it, or perhaps some accident happened that caused the plan to end."

She paused for a moment, then took Chu Wanqing's hand and said, "Mother, no matter what they're planning, we already know what cards she has in her hand. Knowing that means we're not afraid."

Chu Wanqing looked at her, her eyes filled with heartache and pride.

This daughter is much stronger than she imagined.

She nodded, her voice hoarse: "Jin'er, Mother believes in you."

"Mother, I will administer acupuncture to you to detoxify your body first," Yun Jin said, helping her to lie down on the kang (a heated brick bed) and beginning to administer acupuncture.

After administering the acupuncture, Yun Jin took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve, poured out a pill, fed it to her, and then fed her a cup of spiritual spring water before getting up to take her leave.

As I left Qingshuiyuan and looked at the night sky, I knew that the days to come would not be peaceful.

Yun Jin went to see Chu Wanqing, while Yun Xiu was restless. She wanted to see the Fifth Prince and tell him the good news her mother had told her, but she was afraid he would think she wasn't reserved enough. After much hesitation, she secretly went to find Yun Heting.

Yun Heting was also hesitant about whether to go to the Fifth Prince. After hearing Yun Xiu's words, he asked her about her affairs at the General's Mansion and decided to go to the Fifth Prince himself. However, he was afraid that the Fifth Prince would ask about the details of washing clothes.

After discussing it, the father and daughter secretly left the mansion and went to the Fifth Prince's residence together.
