Probably due to overthinking, Mother Jiang kept tossing and turning on the bed and finally fell asleep after midnight. But this time she did not have a peaceful sleep and instead fell into a dream.

There was a vast white mist in front of her eyes. Mother Jiang looked around and realized that she was alone. She was grasping her heart and was about to call for someone.

“Jiang Shi—” Suddenly a familiar voice called her name.

“Who’s there?” The voice that sounded far suddenly became near, and the thick fog slowly dispersed to reveal the person in front of her.

She couldn’t see the person clearly, but she heard herself yelling “Lord Hou.”

“Jiang Shi, you are wrong!”

“Lord Hou, why did you say that?” Hearing these words suddenly, Jiang’s mother was shocked and angry in her heart.

Lord Hou left early, and she has been working hard to manage the house.
After working hard all this time without taking any credit, why Lord Hou’s first sentence is to scold her…

“Did you know that Changning will destroy Changbai!”

“What?!”

“This lord only found out after meeting the ancestors of the Jiang family. Changning is not the real blood of the Hou mansion. Her horoscope coincides with Changbai and does not fit well with my Jiang family. You couldn’t see anything when she was young, but it will become more obvious later.

Her personality clashes with evil spirits and staying with Changbai will not only affect Changbai’s official career, but his life may also be in danger. My biological daughter is the reincarnation of a lucky star, which can help us to turn bad luck into good fortune. So you must protect her, then our house will be peaceful.”

“This…” Mother Jiang was shocked: “How could it be?!”

Hearing the hesitation in Mother Jiang’s tone, Lord Hou was furious: “Women are ignorant! This lord has gone through untold hardships to meet up with you. The judge saw that the Marquis had made great achievements in protecting the people during his lifetime, so he allowed me to meet with my relatives in a dream! “

“But, Changning is still our child, after all, Lord Hou!”

“This lord knows but you have to make a choice! What’s more, if you just send her away far from Changbai, you can still provide her with food and clothing, and it will not be bad treatment.”

Seeing that Mother Jiang’s expression softened and seemed to be persuaded, he said: “When I heard that you have found this lord’s daughter, I am regretful that I have no chance to meet her. This child is a blessing to the Jiang family. You must treat her well and you must not make her sad.”

“Yes, Lord Hou.”

“I believe you know what to do.” After saying this, the mist filled the surrounding area, and Jiang’s mother wanted to move closer to have a look at him but she staggered and the silhouette moved away into the mist.

“Lord Hou!”

Mother Jiang woke up from the dream, covered in cold sweats. It was still in the middle of the night but her heart was pounding hard as if it was about to jump out of her chest. Her breathing was short as the images in the dream kept playing in her mind, and her eyes went black for a while.

“Host, the dream has been completed. As Mother Jiang is old, the dream will cause some damage to her mental state, please noted that.”

Jiang Luo was taking a nap, and she didn’t even open her eyes when she heard the system, “It’s fine, they asked for it.”

After a night of rest, Jiang Changning’s spirits improved a lot, and there were no obvious signs of injuries on her face.

Hong Xing tied up her hair in a bun and found a white jade hairpin carved with camellias in the dressing box. She was also wearing a light blue long dress that was so beautiful. Hong Xing teased her, saying that she looked like a flower fairy in the mountains.

They went to Mother Jiang’s room early but everyone was already there when Changning arrives. Jiang Luo was sitting next to Mother Jiang and talking to her to make her happy. Although she stayed in the ancestral hall for one night, she looked energetic, with an uncontrollable smile on her face as if there was some happy event.

Jiang Changbai was holding a teacup in his hand. The corners of his mouth turned up for some reason, it seemed that the whole family was enjoying themselves.

“The eldest girl is here.” The servant announced.

Changning walked in slowly, dignified and beautiful, walking like a lotus flower. After all, this is the child Mother Jiang has raised for more than ten years and has always been her pride. Thinking of what old Hou said in her dream, Mother Jiang felt a little out of breath.

“Big sister.” Jiang Luo stood up and greeted her.

“Yesterday, it was all Luoer’s bad behaviour. Bothering my sister and making her angry. After a day of reflecting in the ancestral hall, Luoer deeply realized what was wrong with me. I thought I must apologize to my sister. My sister won’t still be blaming Luoer after this.” Jiang Luo’s eyebrows and eyes were curved, and she didn’t say a word about leading her people to do it.

Changning turned sideways to avoid Jiang Luo’s hand, and said softly: “How could it be? Yesterday I also did something wrong. I think that my sister has resentment in her heart so, I should let her vent it. It’s just that yesterday my sister brought the old woman who has a strong figure as she is used to rough work, so I didn’t count how hard I strike. I retaliated instinctively because I was really scared.”

Changning paused and then said: “I heard that my sister was punished in the ancestral hall last night, and I wanted to beg for mercy like my mother. Unfortunately, I was injured and very tired yesterday and fell asleep shortly after returning to my room. I only found out this morning that my sister stayed in the ancestral hall all night. I stayed in that ancestral hall before, and the ground was cold and hard. Did my sister have a good rest?”

Mother Jiang originally had a grudge when looking at both her daughter banter like that. It’s fine that Jiang Luo didn’t learn the rules since she grew up in the village but Jiang Changning, a lady from a big family, still messed around like this. Although it’s understandable, in the end, Mother Jiang still felt a little uncomfortable.

But hearing her mention that she had stayed in the ancestral hall before, reminded her of the past.
