Bai Jiaowan didn't want to see it at first, but Bai Tingchen mentioned the jade pendant.

Her heart was trembling, her head was buzzing, and she was completely blank.

"Then let's take a look." She heard her voice almost trembling.

Bai Tingchen had no problem going back, so he simply spent more time with her, so he immediately asked Eunuch Jing to go to the imperial study to get the two portraits.

When the first portrait was opened, Bai Jiaowan looked at the half piece of jade pendant on it and froze in place.

this……

This half of the jade pendant completely overlaps with the half in my memory.

How could such a coincidence happen in the world?

She remembered clearly that when she found someone outside the door and the jade pendant was hanging in front of him, she had never seen the jade pendant. She looked at it curiously and touched it for a long time, so she knew the lines and patterns on it.

Bai Jiaowan was so shocked that she couldn't help but reach out and touch the scroll gently.

Bai Tingchen smiled when he saw this and said, "Mother, you also think this pattern is strange, right? I always feel like I have seen it somewhere before, and it feels familiar inexplicably, but when I think about it carefully, I really can't remember. Have you ever seen this pattern before?

Pattern?”

Bai Jiaowan's brain was running rapidly.

She connected what she remembered with what she heard from Bai Tingchen now.

The emperor of the Dazhi Dynasty wanted to find his child who was living among the people.

The man she casually rescued back then, the man she had been fighting to death with for several months, was the emperor of the great country?

When he left, he once said that he would definitely come back to find her.

He said that within three months at most, he would go back and tell his parents about her, and then he would come and marry her back.

She believed him to be true, and after he left, she waited at the village gate day and night.

She was afraid that he would come to marry her and she would miss it.

At that time, there were many rumors in the village, everyone was laughing at her, saying that she had been deceived without knowing it.

Whenever she heard someone speaking ill of the man, she would argue with them until her face turned red.

But it was a man she trusted so much that made her wait for three full months, and then she was completely disappointed.

In the fourth month, she looked at her slightly bulging belly and knew she had to make a plan.

Because her belly is getting bigger day by day, if she waits any longer, she will have to get pregnant out of wedlock.

Times were not easy back then.

It was difficult for her to support herself alone, but she couldn't imagine adding a child to the equation.

So she had a bad idea.

One after another, girls from the same village got hooked up with the merchants in the town. Even if they were just as concubines, they would be able to enjoy themselves and drink spicy food every day.

In that era, she was a woman with nothing but beauty.

With uneasy thoughts, she used some tricks to successfully enter the Rong family...

The Rong family had long disliked her, especially when she gave birth to Rong Wuya before she was pregnant with her baby.

Although she claimed to them that she was born prematurely, Sun Ling, the eldest lady at the time, still did not believe it and tried every means to find trouble with her.

They often called Rong Wuya a bastard in private.

And in order to be able to stay in the Rong family and have a place to stay, she endured everything.

Until Rong Wuya was five years old, the great famine broke out.

The Rong family's food rations were not enough, and the family was too lazy to maintain even the superficial prosperity and peace.

They broke up with each other and drove her and Rong Wuya out of Rong's house, leaving mother and son to fend for themselves.

After that, in order to let his son have food to eat, and also to survive for himself.

She and Rong Wuya were separated for many years.

Bai Jiaowan thought about the past and her life, and slowly her eyes became moist.

"Mother?" Bai Tingchen asked again, cautiously.

He felt that she was very strange today and was always in a trance.

Especially when she looked at the portrait of this jade pendant just now, her eyes actually got wet.

This is very unusual.

Bai Tingchen asked tentatively, "Mother, have you ever seen such a strange pattern, or do you know this jade pendant?"

Bai Jiaowan's hands, half hidden in her sleeves, clenched slightly.

More than just acquaintance with her!

That half jade pendant is in her hand now!

When she came out of the village, she didn't wear anything, but she wrapped five or six layers of handkerchief inside and outside, carefully protecting the jade pendant. She felt that in this way, she could protect the relationship between them.

emotion.

After arriving at the Rong family, she never thought of selling the jade pendant when she encountered the great famine and the most difficult time.

Because she always felt that that man would come to her.

Because he said that he would not abandon their mother and son.

How naive she must have been to remember such a sentence firmly in her heart, and she kept it in mind for so many years.

To this day, she can still recall his tone and demeanor when he spoke.

Bai Jiaowan chuckled.

So far, what is there that you still don’t understand?

During the more than twenty years of being ignored by him, she had long since seen the true nature of men and had no expectations for them.

He is the emperor who governs the country. If he wanted to find her, he would have come to her long ago.

Why wait until now to find it?

Isn’t it because of the three unsatisfactory sons he gave birth to?

If his sons were struggling, he probably wouldn't remember her or the children she had given birth to for him.

This man is incredibly shrewd, and his calculations are clear from beginning to end.

She obviously saved him in the first place, but he was complacent in playing with her emotions and had no intention of taking responsibility for her from the beginning.

Hanging out with her at that time was nothing more than a little fun when I was lonely and bored.

In short, she was tricked and played with!

Bai Jiaowan's body was trembling slightly. She could feel her teeth colliding with each other inadvertently because she was too excited. "No, I haven't seen her before, I don't know her. I'm tired. Please give me your regards."

She spoke very quickly, almost in one breath.

Bai Tingchen felt something strange about her and frowned. He wanted to look again, but seeing that she was not in the right mood, he temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart.

He said goodbye respectfully and left.

As soon as he left, Bai Jiaowan, who had just forced herself to hold on, seemed as if all her strength had been drained away.

Her hands and feet were weak, she staggered to the bed and fell down.

Although her life has been ups and downs in the past twenty years, she has long been accustomed to unfair treatment and has long cultivated an indomitable heart. But when it comes to her first emotions when she was young, she still can't help but be moved.

Her eyes were extremely hot, and the tears she was holding could no longer be held back, and slowly flowed down.

After more than twenty years, that man really came to her, but he didn't come to her, but for her son...

No wonder Rong Wuya has a natural nobility.

He originally had the blood of the Imperial family flowing through him.

But……

More than twenty years late, they no longer need him.

Rong Wuya has grown so well even without him.
