'So, apparently, I am back to when I was 10'
She wondered what should she do with this new chance got? Should she take revenge on Zhao Song? Shaking her head, she denied this option. She met many types of people in her life while together with Zhao Song. Those that had revenge as their main aim would lose many precious moments of their life for the sake of vengeance; she didn't want to live like that. What about how to atone for all the sins she committed? It sounded like a better aim to have for her rebirth. Ming Shu decided to help all those who she hurt - if possible- and save the lives of those that she couldn't protect. Besides, God gave her a new chance, she should enjoy all the things she missed previously.
"Shu'er are you better now? Mom was so worried. Mom is sorry to not be here when you woke up"
Feeling the warmth from her mother's hug, tears threaten to fell as Ming Shu remembered how pitiful her mother looked at the time of her death.
'I missed you so much, Mom. This time I'll definitely protect you'
"Where does it hurt my baby? Don't cry tell mom, mom will make the pain go away"
"It does not hurt mom, I'm just glad you are fine"
"Silly child was you who was sick. How could you be so silly to slip into the lake? Because of the commotion, Your Father was furious with this accident, so after getting better we should ask forgiveness to Mother in law and Husband, okay dear?"
"Yes, Mother. But Mother I have something to tell you alone"
Signalling to the servants leave the room Madam Ming sat down in the bed and looked at her child who was pouting.
"What you want to talk Shu'er"
"Mother, it was not an accident, Second Sister pushed me and I fell on the lake. Also, Hongyu was called by Peixiang saying that mother had summoned her, while Luyu went to pick an umbrella in my yard"
"What?! She dared to push you?! And I didn't call Hongyu. Rest assure dear, Mother will make it fair for you"
"No mom. We don't have evidence that Sister did that. I am just telling you so you would be careful towards people around you. And Lady Ye is not a good person to deal with since she is heavily favoured by father. We cannot move her yet. Also, I can handle Sister, I am more worried that Lady Ye wants to harm you"
"Silly child, are you the mother or I am? Do not worry, I am a general's daughter after all! You should just worry about your recovery"
Pinching her child's nose, Madam Ming flashed a soothing smile to the baby doll that was too young to be involved in the courtyard fight.
'This event made Shu'er grow up. I need to take out the bad weeds around us. Also, that stupid b*tch is involving children in adults disputes, it seems that I will have to talk to mother-in-law about this'
"I know Mother. Since we are going to talk with Father and Grandmother to ask them forgiveness, I wonder if I can ask them a tutor for me to learn the four arts and embroidery what do you think mom? Of course, I will not slack in my martial training though!"
"Are you sure my dear? You never like these scholar studies, if you don't want to you don't need to do it"
"Of course Mom, otherwise won't I be the laughing stock later? And don't forget that the Mings are a scholar family, Father always explicit showed his disdain for me not learning it. I think he will be happy if I follow some of his arrangements, don't you think Mom?"
'I need an explanation for all the things I learned in the past life after all. Furthermore, because I only knew martial arts when I was 15 I had very few suitors and all of them were after either power or wealth from my family. I only started to learn the arts to chase after Zhao Song *sigh* at least I could pass as a prodigy and have a lot of free time for leisure'
"If you say so. You should rest and if tomorrow you are better we will go to your Grandmother courtyard. Have a nice rest dear"
Kissing Ming Shu forehead, Madam Ming left the room.
'Well, tomorrow's play would be at least fun'
