Ling Wei is now on her deathbed, she raises her wrinkled hand, and a middle-aged man and woman take it.
"Chaoxiang, Dongmei, Mom is about to leave to find your dad, Mom is happy to meet you, although you did not come out from me, I love you like my real children"
"Mom!"
Dongmey cried out
"Don't say that! You are our mother, our biological mother! We are lucky that you took us in"
"Mom my sister is right, if not for you, what would happen to us? And you did not even hesitate to take both of us after knowing that we are twins"
Ling Wei smiled, her wrinkled face was the proof that she overcome more than 50 years of struggle.
"You both complete me"
She said with a smile before closing her eyes peacefully.
Ling Chaoxiang and Hu Dongmei wept seeing their mother die.
Because of distraught, Ling Wei's family encourage her to travel and see the world.
They hope that she can find something that will give her life.
Ling Wei agreed and traveled all over the world just to paint and draw.
After her 8th year of travel, she accidentally found Chaoxiang and Dongmei in a foreign country.
They were already 5 years old time, when Ling Wei first saw them, her heart melted,
She found out that their parents died when they were 2 years old so Ling Wei adopted them.
The boy Chaoxiang used her surname and the girl Dongmei used Hu.
When her parents met them they instantly liked them and praised Ling Wei for adopting them.
When the twins came into Ling Wei's life, the dull color life she had instantly became vibrant.
Although there is still a huge void inside her heart but, the twins gave her the strength to live.
Her incomplete life is now ended.
She has no regrets, to live like a dead person was her punishment for her selfishness.
Before she closed her eyes for the last time, she hoped that she would meet him again.
Even how hard life will be, as long as she is with him.
Even not as his wife again, her only wish is to see and meet him again.
Northwest Province 19xx
"Make way! Make way! The new Marshal is here!"
The people around gather on the side and watch the dignified procession of the soldiers and leader.
The Young man leading the soldiers was riding a tall and black sturdy horse.
His proud and aloof appearance is just like its master.
"Have you heard? Marshal Hu is the youngest Marshal right now, at the age of 25 he conquered 3 provinces, and now at the age of 28, the Northwest is under his control!"
"Very promising! Not only he is good at leading, but he is also handsome!"
Another one squealed
"What? Do you want to be the 6th concubine? In your dreams! I heard that he likes to collect beautiful and graceful young ladies! Do you think you have a chance? "
Another woman scorned making the other woman pout.
"Miss, why do you like to watch this bustle? In the past, you hated this kind of event"
A young maid said with worry and complaint.
Her young miss is sickly and weak, most of the time she can only stay inside her room to read, and the farthest she can go is to their manor's garden!
"Are you interested in that Marshal Hu? Young miss! This cannot happen, he already has 5 members in his harem! You will be eaten alive, it was like a rabbit entering a wolves den"
"Taotao, I have never watched this kind of bustle before"
The young woman's soft and gentle voice was heard by the passing waiter making him look back.
But too bad the maid was standing at the door of the private room so he did not see the woman but, based on the voice he was sure that she was a stunning beauty.
Taotao sighed
"As long as you are not interested in him"
But the woman just watches the bustle.
Her eyes followed them until they stopped at the gate of a huge manor opposite the coffee shop.
The huge gate opened and a beautiful woman came out to welcome them.
The young marshal held the woman's hand and led her inside.
"Maybe that was one of his concubines?"
Taotao voiced out her question, and did not notice the reddened eyes of her young miss.
Ling Wei was reborn in this era, when she died, she didn't expect that she would still have the memories of her past life.
She was conflicted, happy because she still remembers everything, and sad because she would have to wait again.
After years of staying here, she can only investigate through newspapers.
Because of her sickly body, she can only stay inside their house.
Until 3 years ago, she read about the news about the youngest Marshal and cried on the spot.
Hu Yi Sheng!
Even without seeing him, she knows that it is him!
When she heard about the rumors about him taking concubine she thought that it was lies.
Unexpectedly after seeing him and a woman today, she thought that it wasn't rumors, it's the truth!
Ling Manor
"Master Ling, Madam Ling, I heard that your daughter is crowned most beautiful in this province"
Master Ling and Madam Ling's body shook
"Marshal Hu, that is all unfounded rumor, our daughter is not that great and besides, she has a very weak constitution"
"Name your price"
The young marshal said frivolously.
Ling Wei who was hiding clenched her fists.
She turns around while stopping her cough.
She is afraid that someone will see her so she leaves.
After arriving at her room, she coughs nonstop making the maids worry.
While coughing she did not notice that her parents and the Marshal came, but after hearing her nonstop cough, the marshal decided to leave but reminded the Ling couple that he would return.
In the end, the marshal forcefully gets a hold of the beauty.
But when he saw Ling Wei's face after half a year he directly knelt and begged for forgiveness.
