After the eldest lady lost her memory, her exes turned back one after another.

In the dream, Shen Qingjia's condition was getting worse and worse. Gu Dingzhi felt so tormented in his heart as he watched Shen Qingjia die.

"No, Qingjia, I don't want you to die."

Gu Dingzhi sat in front of Shen Qingjia's bed, holding her bony hand, with only sadness in his eyes.

"I want to meet my parents." She said softly.

Gu Dingzhi knew that doing this would expose Shen Qingjia's affairs with him, but he didn't have much to worry about anymore, so he could only make arrangements.

However, Shen Qingjia died before the Shen family and his wife came together.

"No! Don't! Qingjia!"

The feeling of fear in his heart made Gu Dingzhi wake up from his dream.

His forehead was covered with sweat.

It's a dream.

Why did you have such a dream again?

He didn't care much and hurried to Shen Qingjia's house. He opened the curtain and saw Shen Qingjia lying quietly, just like in his dream.

He stretched out his hand and felt her breath, and then his tense nerves relaxed.

"Fortunately, you're still here."

Gu Dingzhi felt puzzled. Recalling the things in his dream and the way Qingjia died without a sound, his heart ached.

That dream, like a curse, made him start to wake up.

Qingjia is also sick now, just like in the dream.

Could it be that that dream was a harbinger of their end?

Gu Dingzhi couldn't imagine that the dream was too real. In the dream, he had already felt the pain in his heart. If it happened again now, he would go crazy.

Because of this dream, he sat alone in front of Shen Qingjia's bed for a long time, thinking about many things.

Isn't she what I want?

But now that she is right in front of him, he can't be happy either.

If possible, he hoped that she could live a safe and happy life.

Even though he was reluctant to give up, Gu Dingzhi could only endure it.

In the early morning, when Shen Qingjia woke up, she was shocked to see Gu Dingzhi sitting beside her bed.

"Why are you so crazy? Why are you sitting here with me when you have nothing to do and go to bed?"

Gu Dingzhi was wearing a loose robe, with loose black hair. His beautiful face was a little haggard, and his eyes were red. He had obviously stayed up for a long time.

"Qingji, I'm sorry."

Gu Dingzhi thought about it for a long time, but he still had to make this decision.

Shen Qingjia frowned, somewhat surprised.

Gu Dingzhi has been very kind to himself these days because of his illness, but he has never owed anything to himself. After all, he always feels that it is not him who is wrong, but himself.

I was indeed wrong back then, but I didn't bother to argue anymore.

I just don’t know why he suddenly apologized to me?

"Qingjia, if I said, I would let you go free, would you be happier?"

Because of this, how good are you thinking about yourself?

Perhaps, what she had done had completely dispelled her good impression of him.

I didn't care before, thinking that after all, she didn't love me, so I could hate her if I wanted to.

Now I want to let go, but I can't bear to let her go. I can't bear to let her go and forget about her completely.

Shen Qingjia listened to Gu Dingzhi's words and asked in a daze: "You want to let me go?"

Gu Dingzhi bit his lips and did not answer.

He still needs to think about it again.

"Just wait, don't rush."

After saying that, Gu Dingzhi stood up and left.

Shen Qingjia felt inexplicable. She felt that her health was getting worse and worse recently. She might not have more than a few days left. If Gu Dingzhi really let her go, she might not be able to return to the capital.

This is exactly what Gu Dingzhi thought.

Gu Dingzhi wrote a letter directly and asked people to invite Shen Qingjia's parents. After the Shen family got the letter, if Zhou Nan was still alive, he would definitely follow.

If he didn't come, he would probably be dead.

Although he hated Zhou Nan, he didn't want Shen Qingjia to find a sense of satisfaction even when she was about to die.

……

Beijing.

Because of Shen Qingjia's disappearance, the Shen family was in chaos. Mrs. Shen cried all day long and became very haggard.

Nowadays, in troubled times, the Shen family's business is not easy to do. Mr. Shen is worried about Shen Qingjia and the Shen family's affairs at the same time. He looks like he has aged several years.

But suddenly, someone sent a letter.

"Sir, someone sent a letter saying there is news about the eldest lady."

Mr. Shen was suspicious of the letter and quickly opened the letter. After reading it, his expression suddenly changed, as if his hair had been pulled out, and he slumped on the chair weakly.

"Jia'er..."

Manager Li frowned and asked, "Sir, what's wrong with the eldest lady?"

Master Shen handed the letter in his hand to Manager Li.

After reading the letter, Manager Li didn't have much of a good look on his face, and then he asked doubtfully: "The eldest lady is about to die? Is this letter fake?"

Master Shen took out a piece of jade from the letter. He and his wife went to the temple to ask for it when their daughter was born. Shen Qingjia had brought it to him since he was a child and had never left her.

Even if this letter is fake, this jade will not be fake either.

Most likely there is news about Shen Qingjia.

"Go, have someone pick up your belongings, and inform Madam, we will go to Yangzhou together."

"Yes!" Manager Li hurried to go.

"Wait, don't let Madam find out about this and say we go to relax."

Mrs. Shen may not be able to bear this outcome in her current state.

"Yes!"

When Mrs. Shen learned that Mr. Shen was going to Yangzhou, she was immediately confused: "Why are you going to Yangzhou suddenly?"

Mr. Shen explained: "There is some business in Yangzhou, and I just need to go and take care of it. I don't trust you to be alone at home, so let's go together."

Mrs. Shen frowned and said displeased: "But we are all gone. If Jia'er comes back, there will be no one at home. How deserted will it be?"

Mr. Shen patted Mrs. Shen on the back and coaxed her: "It won't take a while, let's go back quickly, okay?"

Mrs. Shen still refused.

Mr. Shen sighed and said aggrievedly: "Do you have the heart to ask my husband to go out alone?"

Mrs. Shen frowned, Mr. Shen really looked like a child.

The couple had been through thick and thin together for many years and had a deep relationship. Now that Shen Qingjia had disappeared, Mrs. Shen did not want to ask her husband to go out alone.

Mr. Shen continued: "Don't be afraid. If Jia'er really comes back, we will rush back immediately and we won't delay things."

Mrs. Shen leaned on her husband's shoulder, her nose felt sour, and she responded, that was all she could do, hoping that her Jia'er would come back soon.

Mr. Shen held Mrs. Shen in his arms, thinking about Shen Qingjia in his heart. He was also very heartbroken and worried, but he still comforted Mrs. Shen and said, "You should be happy too. If Jia'er comes back and sees you so haggard, it will be a shame." It will hurt.”

Mrs. Shen nodded: "Yes, I want to cheer up and can't make Jia'er worry."

The couple talked for a while that night, and made everyone ready. They set off for Yangzhou tomorrow, moving very quickly.

……

Inside the palace.

Shen Mingyi knew that her brother had gone to Yangzhou, and she was a little worried: "Nonsense! This is a chaotic situation. How dangerous is it to run outside? Send someone to find them quickly!"

There are many people having trouble at home, and Shen Mingyi is also afraid that something will happen again.

Li Sheng walked in and stopped the palace attendant who was about to leave: "Queen Mother, don't go!"

"What?" Shen Mingyi was confused.
