Is Mother Possessed by Evil Spirits?

Yun Nian took out the medicine again and explained, “This is a fever-reducing medicine. If you and your sister take it, you will feel better. Mother is not lying to you, can you trust Mother this time?” The elder child glanced at the medicine in her hand and turned his head away.

Yun Nian sighed, the little one still didn’t believe her.

Well, let’s take it slowly.

While holding the elder child, Yun Nian hummed softly.

She had never comforted a child before and didn’t know if the lullaby she hummed was right, but seeing the elder child squinting his eyes, she thought it shouldn’t be too bad to listen to, right?

The little one lowered his gaze, as if the wicked woman had changed…

“Lady, the medicine is ready.”

Shortly after, Chun Chan came with the prepared medicinal broth.

Seeing Yun Nian holding the elder child, the mother and son in a heartwarming scene, the little maid was almost moved to tears.

Lady finally knew how to treat the two children well…

Yun Nian reached out her hand, “Give it to me.”

“Good boy, let me feed you the medicine.”

She held the elder child and tried to feed him the medicine, but the little one turned his head and refused, “I don’t want you to feed me…”

As soon as the little one opened his mouth, Yun Nian poured the cooled medicine into his mouth. “Is it bitter?”

The little one remained silent.

Yun Nian smiled, “I have candy beans, if you drink the medicine obediently…”

“No need.”

The elder child slipped down from her arms and drank the medicine from the bowl on his own.

That proud and indifferent attitude, Yun Nian felt a sense of familiarity, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

“Give me sister’s medicine, I’ll feed her.”

Two bowls of medicine were prepared, and the elder child reached out to take them, but Chun Chan refused, “Young Lord, be careful, it’s hot.”

Yun Nian lifted the little one from the bed, “Give me the medicine.”

The elder child looked displeased, not wanting her to touch his sister.

But he didn’t stop her from feeding his sister the medicine, his sister’s well-being was more important.

Perhaps because the medicine was bitter, the younger child’s face wrinkled up as he drank it, waking up from her drowsiness.

When he saw Yun Nian, the younger child was stunned for a moment, thinking he was dreaming.

Then she nuzzled her fluffy head into Yun Nian’s embrace,

“Mother… Mother’s embrace feels so comfortable.”

Yun Nian’s heart melted. The elder child’s eyebrows furrowed deeply, wanting to pull his sister down, but also afraid of making his sister sad…

“Come here, my son.”

Before the little one could pull his sister down, Yun Nian pulled him over.

She held both children in her arms, feeling a satisfaction she had never experienced before.

These were her cubs!

She hugged the two little ones and promised, “Mother will treat you well from now on, never let you suffer again. Mother swears!”

The elder child pursed his small mouth, his expression cold and complicated.

After a while, he said in a soft voice, “Is it because we got sick that you are being nice to us?”

“Of course not!”

Yun Nian kissed the two little heads, “It’s because Mother suddenly realized her conscience. Mother was wrong before. Can my good treasures forgive Mother?”

The elder child remained silent.

The girl looked at her with his soft and innocent eyes, “Mother, are we illegitimate children? Does Mother like us?”

The term ‘illegitimate children’ stung Yun Nian.

Yun Nian held the two little ones tightly, “No, Mother likes you.”

The girl nuzzled against her chest, “Mother likes us, and we like Mother too!”

Yun Nian felt a pang of sadness.

They were her own child, yet the original owner had been so indifferent to the two little ones.

But as long as she showed them a little kindness, they no longer resisted her.

The elder child didn’t speak.

The older brother was obviously more composed than his sister.

Yun Nian rubbed their little heads and said, “From now on, my son will be called Yun Lu, and my daughter will be called Yun Xian.”

Thus, the names of the two little cubs were decided.

“Lady.”

Just as the two little ones fell asleep in her arms, Qiu Xiang arrived.

Seeing Yun Nian holding the two little cubs, Qiu Xiang was surprised.

Didn’t this foolish girl dislike these two little bastards?

“What’s the matter?”

The two little ones were sick, and Qiu Xiang was partly to blame.

Yun Nian’s gaze turned cold.

Qiu Xiang always felt a chill in Yun Nian’s eyes now.

“Old Madam sent someone to call Lady for questioning.”

Upon hearing this, Yun Nian narrowed her eyes.

Was this an inquiry to hold her accountable?

Yun Nian settled the two little ones in her room before leaving.

Chun Chan and Qiu Xiang were waiting outside.

“Chun Chan, stay here and watch over Yun Lu and Yun Xian. Qiu Xiang, come with me to see Old Madam.”

Chun Chan wanted to say something but hesitated.

She wanted to speak but didn’t dare to.

Qiu Xiang obediently followed her.

Yun Nian knew what Chun Chan was thinking.

Every time the original owner met Old Madam and Yun Yan, she would become even colder towards the two little ones under the instigation of the Yun family.

What Yun Nian didn’t know was that after she left, the two little ones sleeping in the room quietly woke up.

Yun Xian opened her round eyes and looked around, “Brother, Mother just held us. Mother said she likes us!”

Yun Lu remained silent. “Mother also gave us names. With names, we are no longer wild children!” Yun Lu still didn’t speak.

“Mother has changed for the better. Is she possessed by evil spirits?”

Yun Lu gave his sister a cold glance.

“Why aren’t you speaking, Yun Lu? Do you like the names Mother gave us?”

Yun Lu carefully tucked his sister in, “You’re too noisy, go to sleep.”

Yun Lu, walk your own path, he knew.

…

“Lady, why have you suddenly become so kind to those two… children? It was because of them that you were delayed in becoming Princess, thanks to the care and strategizing of the fifth Lady, who sympathized with you. You could have settled for marrying Prince Cheng’en and becoming his consort, but now, because of those two children’s misdeeds, they have truly become stumbling blocks in your path, Lady!”

Qiu Xiang often whispered these words of instigation in her ear, and the original host was brainwashed by them.

Yun Nian’s gaze turned cold and distant, and she suddenly spoke, “Qiu Xiang, why did my son and my daughter catch a cold?”

Qiu Xiang was taken aback and instinctively replied, “They fell into the water…”

“Is it this lake?”

Yun Nian passed by an artificial lake and paused.

Qiu Xiang nodded.

It’s a pity that those two bastards didn’t drown that day, allowing that wretched girl Chun Chan to save them.

Yun Nian reached into her sleeve, rummaged around, and pulled out a silk handkerchief.

With a gust of wind, the handkerchief blew away.

“Oh! My handkerchief blew away. Qiu Xiang, go down and retrieve it for me.”

“What, what?”

Qiu Xiang froze.

The handkerchief had blown into the lake, and she was being asked to go into the water to retrieve it?

“What’s the matter, are you unwilling?”

Yun Nian turned around calmly.

Of course, she was unwilling!

“Lady, I… I can’t swim.”

Qiu Xiang said with a bitter face.

A trace of disdain flashed in Yun Nian’s eyes.

It seemed that Qiu Xiang’s brain was addled, actually thinking of making her go down and fetch the handkerchief!

“Don’t worry, the water is not deep. My son and daughter fell in and didn’t drown. What are you afraid of? Hurry up, the Old Madam is still waiting.”

Yun Nian said nonchalantly, curling her lips.

Qiu Xiang gritted her teeth.

Why did she feel like Yun Nian was taking out her anger on those two little brats?

“Lady… Ah!”

Splash

As soon as Qiu Xiang opened her mouth, Yun Nian kicked her down, saying, “Stop dawdling and retrieve the handkerchief.”
