Ever since he had become sensible, Gui Gui had given up the name bestowed upon him by his mother, and changed his name to frequently accompany Duan Chengxuan. However, ever since he returned, he could only stay for a single day, and his mother grew even older, but always greeted him with a smile when he arrived home, as if he truly lived a carefree life.

And now, his mother was lying on the bed, speaking softly with an aged face.

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, while Madam Zou's eyes reddened. In the end, she said somewhat helplessly, "It was mother who let you down. If it wasn't for your father's death and your mother's incompetence, you wouldn't have chosen to go with the prince."

"However, mother already has no regrets for meeting her once." "You don't need to take it seriously, you just need to remember your mother's words. As a living person, you must not lose your conscience, and your mother will not ask you to have any future, but please one day leave the Prince's Mansion and live freely. Do you agree?"

In this mountain village, every year, she would be able to obtain money that would make people envious. However, she had never thought of leaving this place.

She was only worried that her child would not be able to find her when he returned, and was even more worried that her child had risked his life to exchange for that money.

Gui Gui gritted his teeth, knowing that it was impossible for him to do so. His life could only belong to Duan Chengxuan.

He didn't say anything, and Madam Zou started coughing violently as well. She was so frightened that she rushed forward and took a handkerchief of blood. Her face was pale as she stood there, stunned.

Gu Pingyan, who was in the yard next to her, had already heard the commotion and hurried over. He gave her two pills and then glared at her fiercely: "Why are you so angry with your mother? Can't you be more obedient?"

He hadn't thought that he would be scolded like this by Gu Liuyan. Although the ghost's personality was a bit lively, when it came to proper business, it was actually a dead thought. He said in a low voice: "Mother wished I could leave the manor and live a carefree life. But my life is …"

"Unfilial son!" Gu Daiyan stood up and pointed at his nose, "If you leave this place, you'll be free to go. You should still remember my agreement with the Prince."

Only then did Phantom remember and went to the side of the bed to promise his mother.

Gu Danyan was also helpless. This ghost had lost his composure the moment he heard about his mother, but Madam Zou was also someone who knew great wisdom.

As the day of her death approached, she no longer had any regrets. Just by this point, she was already half a step better than a mortal.

In addition, the words she said to the ghost just now were for hope, but they weren't forced.

At this moment, Gu Danyan saw Madam Zou staring at him, and lightly smiled: "Madam is open-minded."

"Miss, what's your name?" Madam Zou suddenly opened her mouth.

"My name is Gu Liuyan." Gu Danyan looked at her strangely.

"Miss Gu, you said you were willing to take care of ghosts. Is that true?" Madam Zou continued to ask her with a solemn expression.

Gu Danyan, on the other hand, smiled even more happily: "Of course, ghost taught me martial arts wholeheartedly, and that's my master for the rest of my life. Furthermore, he's not as boring as he looks on the surface."

Only then did Madam Zou's heart drop back into her stomach. Leaning back against the pillow, she said softly, "Miss, can you do me another favor?"

"Madam, please speak." Gu Danyan walked to her side and sat on the edge of the bed.

Just as they were wondering, Madam Zou took out a small jade pendant from under her pillow. There was an arched door carved on it. The characters on the board were crowded together, making it difficult to see clearly. It was truly strange.

However, Madam Zou had already placed the jade on her palm. She said in a low voice: "This is something that my benefactor entrusted to me. She told me to hand it over to the Imperial Concubine. In the future, when she has dealt with a lot of matters, she will personally come to find you."

The ghost's eyes widened. "Mother, what benefactor …"

"If not for this benefactor, I would have lost my life a year ago. But this year, you came back in a hurry, so I didn't have the time to hand over the item to you. Now that I've personally met your highness, it's only right that I hand it over to you." Madam Zou patted the back of the ghost's hand.

Gu Liuyan felt that the situation was even more strange.

There were almost no outsiders in Changping, not even an inn. Why would someone purposely come here to help his mother and leave such a thing behind with great trust? He had even sworn to give it to her.

After asking for a bit of time, she found out that it just so happened to be one month after she and Duan Cheng Xuan got married.

It was simply too much of a coincidence. It seemed like the other party was heading towards her and not Crown Princess Jing herself.

"Before she left, she left me a message." Madam Zou laughed softly, "She said that life and death are decided by the heavens. She snatched my life away from the King of Hell. She can't continue like this. I think it's for you. "

Gu Danyan gripped the jade pendant in his hand and looked at Madam Zou in slight shock.

However, thinking about it, Madam Zou probably didn't know the meaning behind it, but she knew – she already had the Phoenix Bile and Jade Dragon Snow on her. As long as she had the medicinal ingredients, she could naturally concoct the medicine.

Who exactly was this person?

"Mother, do you know who she is?"

"I don't know, but she was a woman, with a long scar on the side of her face and some scars on her wrist." I don't know, but she was a woman, with a long scar on the side of her face and some scars on the side of her wrist. Madam Zou also shook her head.

Gu Liuyan was lost in thought as he held the jade pendant in his hand.

She had never known such a woman, but she did think of something about her.

When she was kidnapped by Mirage, Liu'er and a girl from Wind Listening Pavilion seemed to have gone to find Qi Lin, but at the same time, she didn't know what relationship she had with Wind Listening Pavilion.

That person was also a woman.

Things were a bit messy. Just as Gu Daiyan was feeling weird, his mother-in-law was yelling for some pastries, so he had no choice but to hurry over.

Madam Zou, on the other hand, could only look at her back with a helpless expression.

"Mother, how did you know she was Crown Princess Jing?" Phantom also did not understand.

"People who are born in rich families are different from people like us." Madam Zou grasped the ghost's hand. "Alright, you don't have to protect me anymore. I don't feel any discomfort."

Ghost shook his head and insisted on staying here. Madam Zou couldn't do anything to him, so she let him go.

In the middle of the night, when it was raining at Changping Village, Gu Danyan found it difficult to return to Yueshan City. She could only sleep in the side room of the courtyard.
