[Ancient proverb + rebirth + wife-chasing crematorium + crazy criticizing of powerful officials + soft heroine + running with the ball + robbery by force + intrigue + not the Holy Mother]
In her previous life, Shen Hengwu had been Gu Yanzhi's docile and virtuous wife for three years.
She had shielded him from poison, suffered injuries, endured the humiliation of Bai Yueguang, and withstood the cold eyes of the whole family.
What he got in exchange was a cup of abortion pill, a divorce note, and kneeling to death in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion in the cold rain.
Before she died, she heard him say to Bai Yueguang: "Shen Hengwu is just a chess piece, I never cared about her."
Once again, I went back to the morning when I found out I was pregnant.
This time——
She didn't say, didn't ask, didn't wait, packed the bag softly, and ran with the ball all night long.
Three years later.
Gu Yanzhi, the youngest powerful official in the Liang Dynasty and the man who was less than ten thousand people, was kneeling at the door of a medical clinic in a remote town in the pouring rain.
"Hengwu, come back."
"Please."
Inside the door, the little girl hugged her mother's legs and said with a sweet voice: "Mom, that crazy uncle outside is here again. Do you want Nian Nian to drive him away?"
Shen Hengwu lowered his head and kissed the top of his daughter's hair, his smile gentle but not reaching his eyes:
"No, let him kneel."
Gu Yanzhi (gritting his teeth): "... Okay, just kneel down."
Then he really knelt for three days and three nights.
The whole capital was shocked - that crazy and powerful official who was decisive in killing and turning his hands into clouds and rain actually knelt down until his knees bled for the sake of an "abandoned woman"?
Only Gu Yanzhi himself knows:
He wasn't kneeling to her.
He is kneeling, the debt he owed in the first half of his life and will be repaid in this life.
