Special 7: Alternate Ending (1)

A slight groan sounded, her eyelids trembled before her eyes slowly opened. Under the dim light, she saw a cream-white ceiling, powder-green walls, and goose-yellow floral curtains fluttering in the night wind.

“Where is…” Su Shuilin blinked suspiciously, and pushed herself up with her arms, but something pulled him, but suddenly felt a tingling pain in her arm.

This is… a needle… On her slender right arm, was an intravenous drip (IV) that was still half full.

Could it be that she was rescued by the citizens of the Dragon Claw Kingdom?

Two months ago, after the youngest son, Lin Xi, solemnly married the Jiang Family’s Xiao Jingyu, she and A Yao decided to travel around the world again.

Before the accident, they were in the Dragon Claw Kingdom, one of the ten countries, and climbed the famous Yang Feng Peak with several foreign merchants to watch the sun rise. Unexpectedly, they met a group of bandits at the top of the mountain. A Yao guarded her and the others behind him and was about to finish off the bandits, when a big beast came out of nowhere. Everyone started to shoved each other in a panic, she had misstepped, slipped, and fell off the cliff. She saw A Yao look back in a panic and ran toward her to grab her arm. He had managed to hold onto her, but because it was too late to exert his Qi, they fell together.

Heavens! What about A Yao? It couldn’t be that…

She struggled to get up, but she felt that she had no strength; it was difficult to even raise her arms.

“Ah! Miss Su! Miss Su is awake! The patient in bed seven is awake! The patient in bed seven is awake!”

“Awake? Quickly! Inform her family…”

—

She was back, after a year in a coma.

Back in Suzhou, the Republic of China, the Su Family’s Mansion. She was back to being the Eldest Young Lady of the Su Family.

No wonder she was so weak. Over the past year, except for her twice-a-day massage, her body only continued to lie on the hospital bed.

When she realized all this, Su Shuilian had some mixed feelings. She had initially thought about coming back. But now, she doesn’t want to leave A Yao. Life or death, she couldn’t let him bear it alone.

However, after two months, her soul still remained here. Passively accepting this world, which was both familiar and unfamiliar to her.

“Lian’er, the doctor said that they will give you a general examination tomorrow, and you’ll be discharged from the hospital if you’re fine.” Su Shuilin’s mother, Li Ruxi, the current Head Madam of the Su family, said gently. Although her daughter woke up two months ago, the despair in her eyes has not dissipated. She didn’t understand what happened to her daughter. Could it be that it wasn’t just being pushed by that mother and daughter pair, and stealing her completed large-scale embroidery? Were there other injuries she doesn’t know about?

“Long’er, Deng Yun has been divorced and Shuiyan has been grounded. Unless she is married, she will not be able to leave her courtyard. Ai, mother knows that you have a good heart, but… this was the order of the Old Master.” Li Ruxi sighed softly as she briefly described the changes in the Su Family over the past year. Deng Yun was forced to be divorced, and it was indeed the old man’s own words. The Deng Family will never see a happy day again, this was what she privately asked her son, Tingyi, to do. They dare to hurt her daughter, then she will not let the Deng Family off. Just being divorced was too cheap for her.

Although she doesn’t know how much money her husband gave Deng Yun privately, she knew that there would still be silk connecting the broken lotus roots. The hatred in her heart would not be relieved until the Deng family completely disintegrated.

“Mother… I’m tired.” Su Shuilin closed her eyes, she was really tired. Her body has not yet recovered, and her heart has also shrunk. A Yao. Are you all right? She mocked herself, she had a body that had been sleeping for a year to collect her undead soul, but what about Ah Yao?

Living in another time and space for more than 20 years, she has been unable to adapt to the tension and conflict in the Republic of China.

In the past, she was able to put aside these conflicts and focus on embroidery and reading, that was her little world. But what about now? How could she still be like that? The gap in her heart could no longer heal because of A Yao’s departure.

Fortunately, Xiao’er, Long’er, and Xi’er have found the love of their life. It’s just A Yao…
