Chapter 1222: Chapter 1222: Definitely Still Alive

"You couldn’t possibly be..."

Could it be that after living with that man for so long, she too found it hard to part with him?

"What wild thoughts are you having?"

Liu Yuyang came back to her senses, lifting her eyes to earnestly look at her own son.

"Your mother just feels that letting him die so easily is too cheap for him. The suffering he has endured over these years is not lighter than death itself,"

she said.

How could she possibly find it hard to part with someone who took advantage of her vulnerability, deceived her, and caused her to wrong Baizhong? She would only wish for that villain to die with nowhere to lay his body to rest.

She once had the same thought and had already ordered someone to drag that person away to be beheaded straight away, but at the last moment, she still hadn’t killed him.

She thought that to let that person die that way would really be too lenient. She wanted that person to live in agony and with wide-open eyes watch his family slowly disappear from before his very eyes!

That would be the punishment he deserved!

"Changhong, these years, it was your mother who let you and Sangsang down, and even more, I let down your father,"

she sighed softly, holding her son’s hand as she spoke to him.

"Mother, you’re overthinking it,"

Lin Changhong took her hand in his, comforting her.

"If father knew how much suffering you went through, he would be all the more heartbroken. Although father never talked about you in front of me and Sangsang, I understand that he loved you very much."

In fact, this was something he was very clear about.

It was also because of this understanding that he was even more upset when he saw her return.

Why should his father have yearned daily for this woman, while she, appearing so carefree and clearly not from an impoverished background, dressed in exquisite clothes, had let Sangsang suffer so much over these years?

But now that he knew that these things were not his mother’s fault, he had nothing to harbor any resentment about in his heart.

"Has there been any news from your father?" Liu Yuyang thought for a moment and asked.

Ever since she learned that Lin Baizhong had gone to serve in the military, she had sent people several times to look for him, but each time to no avail.

This should have been an easy thing to investigate, for Lin Baizhong had enlisted from Yejun; one could just start the search from here, where all the registrations and strategies were recorded.

But although they found traces of him here, in another place, there was no news at all.

It wasn’t that there was no news of this person, rather, it was unknown where he was, and even more, whether he was dead or alive.

"No,"

Lin Changhong shook his head.

"But I believe father must still be alive; he couldn’t possibly have met with an accident."

His father was a man of great luck; if nothing else, he had Sangsang’s protective star shining on him. What could possibly happen to him?

He must be somewhere; it’s just that they didn’t know about it.

"Yes, that’s right,"

Liu Yuyang nodded in agreement.

If something truly had happened to Lin Baizhong, there would surely be some outcome that she could have found.

But until now, she had found nothing, which indicated that he must still be alive.

If that was the case, she could rest easy. No matter where he was, as long as he was alive, there was still hope. She believed there would come a day when they would be reunited.

...

The first day of the new year.

The news of Liu Yuyang’s return spread rapidly.

Although not a single person from the Lin Family had spoken of it outside, everyone in the village somehow knew of the news.

Of course, the rumors outside were not limited to just Liu Yuyang’s return. They had practically deified her, saying that Liu Yuyang had struck it rich outside and had moved many treasures of gold, silver, and jewels back home.
