Xiao Hanzheng could not help but hold Shi Qingluo tightly in his arms. “Wifey, I was really afraid that you would never wake up again.”

In his previous life, he had never been afraid even when he was in such a miserable state. However, when his wife was in a coma, he was really afraid.

Shi Qingluo couldn’t lift her hand, so she turned her head to kiss his face. “I’m also afraid that I won’t be able to see you guys again.” “How long have I been unconscious?” she asked.

“Half a month,” replied Xiao Hanzheng.

He held Shi Qingluo in his arms and lowered his head to ask, “Do you know why you fainted?”

Shi Qingluo didn’t hide anything and confessed about her background and the matter of her soul returning. “I heard your shouts, so I came back.” Xiao Hanzheng had a feeling that he was right.

He tightened his grip on Shi Qingluo. “Then will you leave?”

“I have a feeling that I will.” Shi Qingluo looked at him and spoke truthfully.

“And I feel that I might not be able to stay here for long.”

Xiao Hanzheng pursed his lips. “Can we go back with you?”

He also guessed that his wife might go back. It seemed like this incident could happen again.

Since they couldn’t change the fact that his wife had left, could they leave with her?

Shi Qingluo leaned against him and asked, “Are you willing to leave with me? After all, your family, friends, and career are all here.”

Xiao Hanzheng said without hesitation, “I will miss them, but I can’t live without you.”

“Mother, Brother, and Sister have all found their own happiness. They have someone to accompany them for the rest of their lives. It doesn’t matter if I’m with them or not.”

“My career is just the icing on the cake for me.”

He buried his head in her neck. “In my heart, my wife is the most important now.”

He really thought so. Whether it was his family or friends, they all had a good home. He didn’t have to worry.

If he wanted to leave, he would definitely be reluctant.

However, in this world, even relatives would be separated. For example, a married sister would only visit once in a while, and they would only meet once.

His mother spent most of her time with her husband and youngest son.

His younger brother was even more prepared to bring his wife out to sea again. Only husband and wife were the ones who had to accompany each other forever in the future.

He loved Shi Qingluo to the bone and could not accept losing her.

Shi Qingluo rubbed her head against her and said, “Zheng Zheng, I also feel that I can’t leave you. You and the children are also inseparable to me.”

If she were to return to the modern world, she might spend the rest of her life missing her husband and children, or she might not be in the mood to do anything else.

“I have a feeling that when I disappear, maybe you guys can go with me.”

When she descended into darkness from the modern era, there seemed to be a voice in their ears that said that their family could be reunited.

Therefore, she had a strong feeling that the four of them could return to modern life together.

“What are the conditions?” Xiao Hanzheng asked.

Shi Qingluo shook her head. “I don’t know either. Maybe I’ll only feel it when it’s time to leave.”

Xiao Hanzheng kissed her forehead. “Okay, as long as we can be together as a family of four.”

“You’ve been unconscious for half a month. You need to recuperate your body.” “Alright!” Shi Qingluo nodded.

However, she had a feeling that her body might never return to its former state.

Not long after, Kong Yuelan walked in with the two little ones.

The two little ones had been keeping an eye on their mother recently. Kong Yuelan would coax them to take a nap at noon.

Seeing Shi Qingluo wake up, Kong Yuelan and the two little ones were overjoyed.

Kong Yuelan brought the two little ones over and grabbed her daughter-in-law’s hand. Her eyes were red as she said, “Qingluo, you’re finally awake!”

Recently, she often cried because of her daughter-in-law, afraid that something would happen to her.

It was great that she was awake now.

Shi Qingluo gave her a comforting smile. “Sorry for making Mother worry.”

When the two little ones saw that their mother had woken up, they couldn’t help but rush over. “Mother, you’ve finally opened your eyes. Sob, sob!”

Shi Qingluo wanted to hug the two little ones, but she really did not have the strength. “Mother only slept for a while. Be good! ”

She had already heard from her little husband that the two little ones had been guarding her since she fell asleep. Her heart was touched and warm.

As expected, they were all her little quilted jackets.

Then Xiao Hanzheng took care of Shi Qingluo’s body and she was able to walk again after a few days.

However, her body was relatively weak. After walking for a cup of tea’s time, she would have difficulty breathing and her entire body would go soft.

If she were to stand, she wouldn’t even be able to carry the two little ones. She could only sit and carry them.

During this period, Xiao Baili and her husband, Xiao Hanyi and his wife, and Xi Rong and his wife all came to visit her.

The other madams and young ladies she dated in the capital would also come to visit.

After Shi Qingluo could walk again, Xiao Hanzheng went back to the government office.

He did his best and even taught the left and right assistant ministers of the

Ministry of Revenue.

He also wrote down a lot of policies and measures that would benefit the country and the people in his mind in advance, as well as some follow-up explanations for the things he was responsible for.

Another month had passed, but Shi Qingluo’s body had not recovered. Instead, she had become weaker. She slept half the time every day.

When she slept, her soul would often appear in the modern ward.

One day, Xiao Hanzheng came back from outside.

As usual, he carried Shi Qingluo to help her bathe.

“My scumbag father was poisoned by Old Madam Xiao. Although he was saved, he will have to live in bed for the rest of his life, just like King Jin.”

Shi Qingluo was stunned. “Why did Old Madam Xiao do it this time?”

Previously, the scumbag father had been poisoned with a slow-acting poison by the old Xiao Family. After returning, he pretended not to know.

Moreover, he also realized that his business had shrunk a lot. It was too late to salvage it.

Hence, he remembered it in his heart.

Then, when the old Xiao Family’s first and third branches played the same trick, he got the evidence.

He even reported it to the officials and sent the people of the first and third branch to prison.

Because of the sufficient evidence and the pressure from the scumbag father, the county magistrate sentenced the people of the Xiao Family’s first and third branches to exile.

This also made Old Master Xiao and Old Madam Xiao extremely angry. They had quarreled with the scumbag father many times but to no avail.

The old couple could only watch helplessly as their most beloved son and grandson were sent to exile in Minnan.

Then, they continued to stay in the scumbag father’s residence. The old lady would make a scene every day.

Xiao Hanzheng replied, “We have news from Minnan. While the first and third families were in exile, they have all died of a flu.”

“The Old Master was so angry that he had a stroke because of this matter, and Old Madam completely hated the scumbag father.”

“Then, she used all the properties in her hands to exchange for money and bribed a manservant who served the scumbag father to poison him. The scumbag father was caught off guard and fell for it.”

“Because the old lady is the biological mother of the scumbag father, he didn’t die and didn’t report it to the government, so the government didn’t pursue this matter.”

“However, the scumbag father ordered people to chase the old madam and the old master out.”

“The old madam and the old master had no way to survive in the county town and were forced to return to the village.”

“The elders pitied them and gave them a shabby straw hut left behind by a lonely old man who had passed away.”

“Because most of the money was used to bribe the servant boy, plus the old master spent a lot of money for treatment from the doctor, and they have almost had no money to live on, so the old couple live very miserably.”

“The old lady still has to go to the village to help people wash clothes to make a living. The old man is lying in bed like the scumbag father and needs someone to serve him.”

“However, the days of the scumbag father are not good either. After he lay on the bed, the people around him all had their own thoughts.”

“The butler colluded with his personal attendant and embezzled the family’s money. He imitated the old lady and used his seal to transfer the property under his name. The maids did not serve him well either.”

“He’s now under house arrest by the butler and his personal attendants. He’s being fed. The maids will scold him when they’re unhappy.”

Shi Qingluo did not expect the Xiao Family and the scumbag father to end up like this.

However, that family was not worthy of sympathy. “This is karma.” Xiao Hanzheng agreed. “Yes, this is karma.”

As expected, he didn’t need to do anything. His scumbag father and the old Xiao Family could play themselves to death..
