Chapter 132.2- Rebirth of the Black Lotus (End)

When Mu Qingling’s youngest son was married, she was in her early forties, yet still looked like a beautiful woman in her thirties.

When she got married, the entire capital thought she was an unlucky girl, married to the uncouth and womanizing Prince Linjiang.

But now, all the ladies of the capital were envying her.

Prince Linjiang wasn’t modest, but he had His Majesty as his elder brother to protect him. He loved courting women, but he never brought them to the mansion. He also did like to have fun, but after his marriage, Prince Linjiang took his own consort with him most of the time. Later, when he had children, he started to bring his family out together.

He didn’t have concubines, he didn’t have a violent temper, and occasionally Mu Qingling would come out for a gathering and he would come to pick her up and take her back home. In spring, the family could always be seen going out on a trip, and people heard that even his children’s hunting skills had been personally taught by him as their father.

Although he didn’t teach them very well, he went to the palace to ask for a martial arts master from His Majesty, but this also indirectly demonstrated how much Prince Linjiang loved his children.

Look, such a great spirit to teach one’s children when one had been so awful.

This wasn’t a dandy, out-of-touch Prince, he was a good man!

Although the eldest daughter, Longyu, was married, she would always return to the mansion to visit the family.

It wasn’t that she was aggrieved at her husband’s house, but that her husband had to go to court and there was no mother-in-law above her, so she felt bored and came out to play.

Mu Qingling felt that her daughter was being a bit childish, but Lin Shiheng indulged her and was very vocal about it...

“There are no elders above Longyu, why should we suppress her nature for these messy rules? We’ve always spoiled her growing up, and now that she’s married she’s not allowed to return to the house? How sad would she be?”

Mu Qingling was persuaded.

She couldn’t bear to see her daughter in restraints either, not to mention that her son-in-law doted on her. It was natural.

Anyway, even if she and the Prince were gone one day, with her daughter’s good relationship with the various Imperial children, Longyu would still be respected by whoever ascended to the throne in the future.

After her last child was married, Mu Qingling felt that she had no regrets in her life and followed Lin Shiheng’s advice to go out for a big shopping spree to celebrate.

She was having everything she saw wrapped up when she suddenly spotted a familiar figure outside the shop.

It was Mu Qingrong.

How is that possible?

Mu Qingling was astonished. Didn't Mu Qingrong die of a serious illness along with her second aunt 20 years ago?

At that time, when the Marquis came to announce the funeral, she went with her mother to offer condolences. But at that time, her second uncle had offended someone in the Imperial court, and was in a state of distress. It was clearly the funeral of his daughter and his wife, but he only begged her to speak to the Prince, and didn’t look sad at all.

Because her second uncle kept pestering her, Mu Qingling had a deep impression of this incident.

She subconsciously walked out and led her handmaiden to the woman dressed in rags and disheveled hair.

She was muttering, “I’m an Imperial Consort, I’m an Imperial Consort. Emperor Anqing died a long time ago. He should have died.”

Mu Qingling was alarmed. The maidservant at her side also pulled her back in a hurry.

“Madam, I’m afraid this is a lunatic, let’s stay away.”

Cursing the current Emperor would be a capital offense and might even lead to the execution of the entire family.

Mu Qingling was pulled back in a daze and waited until Lin Shiheng returned to tell him about it.

The two had lived together for so long that they could talk almost without hesitation, and as soon as Lin Shiheng heard that, he said he would send someone to check.

The results quickly came in.

That was indeed Mu Qingrong. 20 years ago, when the eldest son of the Emperor was born, Mu Qingrong was stimulated by something and blurted out that the eldest son of the Emperor shouldn’t have been born, and cursed Emperor Anqing.

Mu Qingling’s second uncle, who was also there at the time, was horrified at what he heard and slapped his daughter, deciding to marry her off in haste, to avoid attracting trouble.

At that time, when it was revealed that he had been receiving money from selling the lives of condemned prisoners, Emperor Anqing was furious and ordered a thorough investigation. He was at the height of his troubles, Mu Qingrong had lost a tooth and was in disrepair, so naturally the marriage was not going to be much better.

She was reluctant to marry, becoming agitated after her fever. She kept yelling nonsense about how Emperor Anqing should have died a long time ago, that he shouldn’t have children, and that she was an Imperial Consort.

Mu Qingling’s second uncle almost died of shock, and he barely hesitated before deciding to let this daughter, who could have gotten her whole family killed, voluntarily die.

The second madam still loved her daughter, so she quietly sent her to a village without his knowledge, intending to send her farther away after the storm had passed, to purchase a farm or something.

However, unexpectedly, as she had just sent her daughter out, the second uncle brought home a girl from a brothel. He scolded and cursed her for the girl. As she was already worried about her daughter, she was so angry and furious that she lost her life.

The servant who had been sent to look after Mu Qingrong saw that the second madam was gone. Mu Qingrong was insane and she didn’t know what to do, so she simply took her money and ran away. As a result, Mu Qingrong became a crazy beggar.

She was lucky, too, to have survived until now.

Mu Qingling listened and sighed. Needless to say, she wasn’t so kind as to take in the people who wanted to kill her.

She hadn’t seen Mu Qingrong since that time.

At the age of 63, Mu Qingling passed away, and in the same year, Lin Shiheng passed away.

According to later records, Lin Shiheng, the Prince of Linjiang, was not a womanizer and had only one consort during his life. He was rumored to have received a Third Eye, which would show the true nature of a person.

Emperor Anqing had informed the chronicler that Master Yuan Tong had said that Prince Linjiang was so gifted and pure in character that Buddha had sent down the Third Eye.

[Ding, the task is completed. Please choose, 1. continue the task, 2 to take a vacation]

[Continue the task.]

Lin Shiheng had just opened his eyes when he heard a loud noise.

-Slap!!

His face didn’t hurt, it wasn’t hitting him.

Looking carefully, there was a girl on the left, covering her face and looking at the person standing across from her with tears of resentment and hatred.

“How in the world could there be parents like you, who only love my brother and not me. Am I not your own child?!!"

The woman standing across from her snapped and slapped her again.

“You’re a girl, why are you asking so much!? How can you compare to your brother!?”

The loud noise provoked Lin Shiheng to rub his own face.

The memory was thoroughly absorbed and he massaged his cheek.

Right.

I’m that older brother.
