That was the case then, and it is the case now.

In the past, he was willing to live and die for Huang Ziru, and he threw the Ling family's property aside without even looking at it.

She was the one who supported everything. While busy with the rise of the Ling family, she was in tit-for-tat with Old Mrs. Li. She also found time to make drugs and be busy with his incompetent husband.

When he was mad, he didn't understand her. He just thought she was a silly woman who was troublesome and liked to take care of things. She wanted to get involved in everything.

But when he really calmed down, he felt sorry for her.

Without her...

There would be no him and the Ling family now.

He owed her so much.

So he couldn't bear to see her blaming herself again, and he couldn't bear to see her even the slightest bit sad because of him.

Ling Xiucheng hugged her tightly:

"You did what you should have done, there is no need to blame yourself."

The man's warm embrace made Liu Ruyan couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"I just feel..."

"If I could have done more at that time, maybe you could have met and reunited with Huang Ziru before she died..."

After all, she is Ling Xiucheng's favorite woman in his life.

Even though he said that he didn't like her as much as before, he didn't deny his place in her heart.

Besides, she is Ling Yujin's biological mother.

If she had done more and discovered that Huang Ziru was still alive, Ling Yujin would not have lost any memory of her mother.

"None of that matters anymore..."

Ling Xiucheng sighed and hugged her tightly:

"She has been living in Yingcheng. If she wanted to see me, she would have met me long ago."

"She has always known about Yu Jin's existence, but she has never recognized Yu Jin. This is her own choice."

"Even if you really asked for her contact information and knew that she was still alive, she might not be willing to see Yu Jin and me."

The man's words made Liu Ruyan slightly startled.

After a moment, she sighed:

"That's right..."

"So..."

At this time, Li Jingchuan's brows furrowed:

"Mother-in-law, you developed this poison for my aunt back then. It was originally intended to make my aunt 'die' once and let her know that she can't live without her children, and the children can't live without her."

"But when the medicine got into my aunt's hands, she kept hesitating whether to use it. In the end, she convinced herself and decided not to commit suicide."

"So after she died, the medicine fell into the hands of Wen Xiaoning, who had been taking care of her?"

Only then did Liu Ruyan come out of Ling Xiucheng's arms, coughed slightly, picked up the tea cup and took a sip, covering up the shy blush on her face:

"That's how it should be."

"And that day, after Wen Xiaoning was taken away, looking at Yu Jin's look, he completely believed that Cheng Ru had been injected with poison."

"Presumably, it is Wen Xiaoning who firmly believes that this medicine is poison."

"But the doctors at the hospital didn't find out what kind of poison Cheng Ru was poisoned with. Doctor Xiaozhou happened to know me, so he asked me to investigate."

"After I investigated, I immediately knew that this was the poison I was researching, so I... deceived Yu Jin and made him think that Cheng Ru was really about to die."

As she spoke, she smiled bitterly and closed her eyes:
