Madam Wei smiled kindly. “Spring is good, spring is good, it’s warm…”
Madam Wei closed her eyes. The warm sunlight made her sleepy.
When they arrived at the garden, Madam Wei was clearly in low spirits. A servant brought over a bowl of soup. Ye Niuniu fed it to Madam Wei. Madam Wei opened her mouth and took a few sips. “Why does this chicken soup taste so bland? If I didn’t see the drumstick inside, I would have thought it was plain water.”
Looking at Tang An and Ye Niuniu’s concerned eyes, Madam Wei could only take a few more sips. She waved her hand. “I don’t want to drink anymore.”
Tang An and Ye Niuniu looked at each other and saw deep worry in each other’s eyes.
In Madam Wei’s mouth, this chicken soup was tasteless, but it smelled very fragrant to them.
Madam Wei could not taste anything and could not eat. Her body was already at its limit. She silently asked the servants to take the food away.
The sun was high in the sky. Madam Wei really wanted to sleep, so she yawned and said, “Push me under the tree. The weather today is indeed very good. I’ll take a nap outside.”
Tang An and Ye Niuniu pushed Madam Wei under the tree. Madam Wei closed her eyes and sighed in comfort.
In a daze, Madam Wei fell asleep again.
She saw Mr. Liu waving at her not far away. She smiled and said, “Liu Yuanxun, old man, why are you here? Wait for me…”
Hearing Madam Wei’s sleep talk, Tang An and Ye Niuniu knelt beside her and sobbed.
They were afraid that Madam Wei would go before Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang could come back to see her for the last time.
Hu Yu came out and blew a breath of spiritual energy at Madam Wei. When they saw Hu Yu, Tang An and Ye Niuniu quickly asked anxiously, “Miss Hu, how’s our mother? Is… is her time up?”
Hu Yu nodded. “Her time is running out, but with my spiritual energy, she can hold on until her sons come back to say goodbye to her.”
After saying that, Hu Yu could not help but look up at the sky. More than thirty years had passed since Liu Sanniang left.
Tang An and Ye Niuniu thanked Hu Yu. Looking at Madam Wei, who was sleeping, their eyes turned red.
Madam Wei was really good to them. Now that she was about to leave them, how could they not be sad?
Hu Yu didn’t want the Liu family to feel ill-at-ease with her around, so she hid herself. After Liu Sanniang left, she protected the Liu family in the dark and silently fulfilled her promise.
Liu Yuanyuan was with Su Yanyu in the Marquis mansion. Liu Yuanyuan did not know that Madam Wei’s lifespan was coming to an end, so Hu Yu sent a voice transmission to inform her.
The Liu family was very important to both of them. Madam Wei and Mr. Liu were Liu Sanniang’s parents. Mr. Liu had already gone, and Madam Wei was going too. Soon, Liu Yuanyuan would arrive.
After sending Mr. Liu and Madam Wei off, they could return to the mountains to cultivate.
Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang were already old and were discussing government affairs in the imperial court. When they heard the news of their mother going to die, the two brothers rushed back.
They were on the verge of an emotional breakdown.
They knelt beside Madam Wei and shouted with trembling voices, “Mother, we’re here.”
Madam Wei was sleeping peacefully, making people unable to bear to disturb her. The corners of her mouth curled up into a smile. If she was dreaming, she must be in the most beautiful dream. How could they bear to disturb her dream?
Madam Wei was indeed dreaming. In the dream, she returned to her youth. At that time, her children were still young.
Liu Sanniang obediently embroidered at home. Madam Wei worked in the restaurant. Mr. Liu brought Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang to the fields. The family was united and their days were harmonious and happy.
In this dream, Madam Wei gradually grew old. Her two sons also had a happy life, but her daughter’s life was not smooth.
Madam Wei’s heart ached so much that she cried countless times late at night. “Sanniang, my daughter…”
She and Mr. Liu were most worried about Liu Sanniang, so before she died, Madam Wei held her two sons’ hands and instructed, “Dalang, Erlang, after I die, you must take good care of Sanniang. She has never married and has no children. You’re her brother. After I die, you must take care of her and visit her often, okay?”
Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang were frightened and instantly burst into tears. They grabbed Madam Wei’s hand and nodded heavily. They choked and promised Madam Wei, “Mother, don’t worry. We’ll take care of Sanniang. We promise you.”
Hearing Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang’s promise, Madam Wei smiled in relief. She looked behind Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang and said with a smile, “Sanniang, don’t be afraid. Your two brothers are the best. Father and Mother will protect you. Don’t be afraid.”
Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang lay beside Madam Wei and sobbed.
Tang An and Ye Niuniu were also sobbing. Madam Wei was clearly at the end of her life and was not in her right mind.
She could not tell dream from reality and thought that Liu Sanniang was still around.
Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang cried until their eyes were blurry and their faces were covered in snot and tears.
No matter how old they were, they were still children to their mother.
Madam Wei looked at the empty space behind Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang. With tears streaming down her face, she said, “Sanniang, are you doing well? I miss you so much.”
“Yan, with you taking care of Sanniang, I’m relieved. You’re a good child. The two of you must live well. You must be happy and have a lot of children…”
“Deal then. Since you promised me, you have to do it.”
Madam Wei cried and laughed.
Liu Dalang and the others thought that Madam Wei was seeing things before her death.
However, Liu Sanniang was indeed there.
Madam Wei cried and complained, “Sanniang, are you doing well? I miss you so much. You promised to come back to see me. Why did it take you so long to come back?”
Liu Sanniang smiled and replied, “I’m doing very well. I was delayed by something. Mother, don’t worry. I promise you I’ll live well..”
