Chapter 468 - 468 Memories of the Past

468 Memories of the Past

“You and Sun Yangxin also knew each other. The two of you exchanged letters. At that time, it could be said that the two of you were in love. The Sun family had been waiting for you to get married when you were older. When you were seventeen, the wedding date was set. It was also that year that you were harmed by that hateful vixen. After there was no news of you, Sun Yangxin fell seriously ill and was bedridden several times.”

“Back then, he was seriously ill, but he had always been concerned about your whereabouts. When he could get out of bed, he personally came to ask about you many times. He was much thinner and weaker. He was a devoted child. His mother saw that he didn’t eat or drink and was afraid that he would die, so she forced him to get married in a hurry.”

“He was devoted and filial. After he got married, he didn’t have any children for the past twenty years. I heard that he and his wife never consummated their marriage, but I don’t know the truth. However, he didn’t give up looking for you all these years.”

General Qi sighed in his heart. He could only say that fate was toying with them.

Sun Yangxin was a devoted person, but he was not fated with Madam Zhao.

Madam Zhao looked sad, and Su Sanlang had mixed feelings.

Father Qi touched his head and smiled. “That’s all in the past. Don’t worry about it.”

Madam Zhao nodded. “Thank you, Grandpa. Thank you, Cousin.”

Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao got up and went home.

Father Qi and Mother Qi sent them out.

After sending Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao off, Father Qi hugged Mother Qi and sighed. “Who would have thought that after more than twenty years, they would still have something to do with each other? It’s really heartbreaking.”

Mother Qi also sighed. “I don’t even know if I envy her or pity her. Sun Yangxin is so infatuated, and Su Sanlang looks quite infatuated as well.”

“Fortunately, Xiaoling is fine. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t dare to imagine…”

Mother Qi also sighed.

It was all God’s fault for playing tricks on them. Even if Madam Zhao did not have any feelings for Sun Yangxin, she could not avoid feeling conflicted and uncomfortable because of him.

The couple returned to the residence.

Su Sanlang and Madam Zhao sat quietly in the carriage. Neither of them spoke.

Their hearts were heavy.

Su Sanlang asked himself if he would have done the same if he was in Sun Yangxin’s shoes.

Children were especially important in ordinary families, but Sun Yangxin was able to have no children for more than 20 years under such pressure because of his persistence. He married out of filial piety, but that was all.

Sun Yangxin’s wife was pregnant now, and she had used that despicable method to get pregnant.

Thinking of all this, Su Sanlang sighed and felt as if something was being suppressed in his heart.

He thought that if it was him, he might have had many children and grandchildren long ago…

After all, he could even accept the wife he bought.

“Darling, go plead for him.”

Su Sanlang took the initiative.

Madam Zhao leaned on Su Sanlang’s shoulder and said nothing.

When they got home, the two of them fell asleep quietly.

In the dark night, the couple’s breathing was even, but Madam Zhao did not fall asleep.

Su Sanlang was not asleep either.

“Darling, he’s really a very good person. He doesn’t know about this. I believe that if he knew, he wouldn’t hurt your daughter. He would stop them.”

Su Sanlang spoke. He lay on the bed and ran through a lot of things in his mind, some old, some recent.

He remembered that Su Xiaoling had said that she had met a person who had mistaken her for someone else. Now that he thought about it, it was Sun Yangxin.

He saw Su Xiaoling and mistook her. Even though he lost control of his emotions, he was very polite and did not scare the child.

Such a good person, such a good person.

Madam Zhao sighed and said, “Sanlang, I can’t remember him. I don’t know what the past is like. I want to see if I can recover my memories.”

“What kind of person is he? I only know about him from other people’s mouths. What kind of person was he in Yan Mian’s heart in the past? If I had memories of the past, I think I would know what to do.”

Madam Zhao told Su Sanlang in detail. Previously, she felt that it didn’t matter if she didn’t have those memories.

If this had not happened, it would not have mattered.

But things had already happened, and it troubled her heart. She needed to know what those memories were.

It was not only about Sun Yangxin, but also about herself.

“Then ask Xiaolu tomorrow and see if she can think of a way.”

Su Sanlang said gently. He turned sideways and hugged Madam Zhao.

Madam Zhao also snuggled into his arms. She swallowed and choked. “Sanlang, I don’t know how I got so far. I don’t know if I’m still innocent. I…”

Su Sanlang hugged Madam Zhao tightly. His tone was very serious. “What nonsense are you saying? When we got together, you bled during our first time. What nonsense are you saying?”

Madam Zhao whimpered. As a woman, she really cared if she was innocent.

In Yan Xinyue’s confession, she was kidnapped by ferocious mountain bandits.

They were thousands of miles away. Was she…

The pain in her heart was spreading. Su Sanlang hugged Madam Zhao tightly. He choked and said, “Don’t think too much. Those are all in the past. Don’t make things difficult for yourself. You have to believe me.”

Su Sanlang had never thought of this. Madam Zhao’s body trembled, making him realize that Madam Zhao had been concerned about this for a long time. She had only exploded at this moment.

Su Sanlang’s heart ached.

He gently kissed away Madam Zhao’s tears. They had been together for so many years. From companionship to deep love, these feelings were all deeply engraved in his heart.

Madam Zhao gradually calmed down and the two of them fell asleep in each other’s arms.

The next morning, Su Sanlang called Su Xiaolu over alone.

Su Xiaoling wanted to come, but Su Sanlang stopped her.

Entering the room, Su Sanlang closed the door.

“Xiaolu, I have something to ask you. Tell us the truth. Can your mother regain her memories?”

Su Sanlang half-crouched and looked at Su Xiaolu with his only eye.

He placed his hands on Su Xiaolu’s shoulders. Su Xiaolu had no chance to avoid Su Sanlang’s gaze.

She looked at Su Sanlang and then at Madam Zhao. Madam Zhao’s eyes were red and filled with hope.

Su Xiaolu gritted her teeth. She closed her eyes and said, “There’s a way, but it’s too dangerous. It might take my mother’s life.”

She broke free from Su Sanlang’s arm and turned her back to him before saying, “The only way is to insert many needles into Mother’s brain. She will recall the past in her sleep. Once there’s anything she doesn’t want to remember, it will make her feel extremely painful. If she can’t take it, she will lose her mind. At that time, not only will Mother not remember what happened in the past, but she will also forget us. There’s irreversible damage to her nerves. In the future, she won’t be able to remember anything.”

“Even so, is Mother determined to regain her memory?”

Su Xiaolu asked with difficulty.

With that, she ran out without waiting for Madam Zhao to answer.
