After I awakened my inner voice, I became the treasure of my family.

Chapter 188 Guan Ling Shuang is a "white moonlight" who died young.

Guan Ling Shuang was very puzzled by this. You see, she never thought that a mere minor illness could defeat her, let alone "sacrifice" her while carrying out a mission.

Perhaps it was because that mission was fraught with endless danger! But even so, Guan Ling Shuang firmly believed that being able to participate in such a difficult mission was enough to prove her strength and courage.

Therefore, if she ultimately did unfortunately "die," she would still be considered a remarkable person, something to be proud of, so why should there be any sadness or grief?

[Oh...what a pity!]

Jiang Mianmian, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but sigh.

How could such an outstanding young woman have passed away at such a young age?

Jiang Mianmian wondered if she had been able to find a way to protect Guan Ling Shuang and prevent her from carrying out that extremely dangerous mission, would it have been possible to rewrite the fate of the third brother?

Just like how the second son, after having Zhou Jingyao, successfully broke free from the control of the originally intended female lead, Su Qianqian.

If the third brother and Guan Ling Shuang could end up together, perhaps there wouldn't be any more strange and mysterious female protagonists causing trouble.

Those diverse female protagonists are not ruthless killers; some are even enchantresses skilled in witchcraft...

Jiang Mianmian felt a wave of fear wash over her.

[If there were a few more troublesome female leads like this, I'd probably be driven to my grave by their torment.]

Jiang Mianmian kept muttering to herself, while Guan Ling Shuang listened to her muttering to herself.

At the same time, she carefully helped Jiang Mianmian up and untied the ropes that were tightly binding her.

Guan Ling Shuang pretended to be completely unaware of Jiang Mianmian's true identity and asked with feigned concern, "Hello, may I ask your surname? Where do you live? Would you like me to notify your family to come and pick you up?"

Upon hearing Guan Ling Shuang say that she would notify her family, Jiang Mianmian instantly became excited and hurriedly replied, "My son's name is Gu Yunchen, so please go and tell him to come and pick me up."

At this moment, Jiang Mianmian was secretly overjoyed. The opportunity had come!

[Haha, my darling, I went to great lengths to create this opportunity for you! If you don't seize it, don't blame me for not helping you!]

Just then, Guan Ling Shuang's body trembled violently, and a look of surprise appeared on her face. She spoke:

"Gu Yunchen, your son is also named Gu Yunchen? What a coincidence! I happen to know someone with the same name, Gu Yunchen. Could they be the same person?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but smile broadly and replied sweetly, "Oh dear, maybe it really is the same person. If that's the case, then I might as well just give this son to you as repayment for saving my life."

After saying that, Jiang Mianmian gently patted Guan Ling Shuang's shoulder.

Guan Ling Shuang was taken aback at first, then her lips twitched slightly as she said, "Heh, I'm afraid you're not genuinely trying to thank me, but rather you seem to be deliberately trying to make an enemy of me."

"Who would just offer their son to someone else like that? Aren't you afraid your son will be unhappy? Besides, what if I'm already engaged?"

Guan Ling Shuang said with a light laugh, her eyes revealing a hint of surprise and doubt.

Jiang Mianmian laughed nonchalantly: "Hehe! What's there to be afraid of? If you're already engaged, it just means my brat isn't lucky enough to have you."

But if you're not married yet, and he dares to object to what I've proposed, I'll immediately sever all ties with him, no questions asked!

As she spoke, she waved her hand, secretly thinking: [Hmph, I'd love to sever my mother-son relationship with that brat!]

[He's always acting recklessly, and his skin is as thick as a city wall corner; I don't know who he took after.]

Upon further thought, Jiang Mianmian began to mutter again: "[It probably comes from his biological father. His biological father wasn't exactly a saint back then either; he had an incredibly thick skin.]"

Hearing this, Guan Ling Shuang couldn't help but chuckle: "Hehe, hehe, you're really too interesting!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mianmian proudly raised her chin: "Right? Even you think so, then it seems I really am a good person."

If you think I'm a kind and gentle person, then you won't have to worry about conflicts between you and your mother-in-law after you marry into the family.

To tell you the truth, I have a very good relationship with my eldest daughter-in-law, she...

Then, as if she had opened a floodgate, Jiang Mianmian began to talk at length about her interactions with her eldest daughter-in-law.

However, she wasn't lying; the truth was indeed as she said, the relationship between her and Li Tingxue as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not very "good" in the past.

Fortunately, their relationship with their mother-in-law has changed and improved significantly, so she can talk about how good their relationship is without any pressure.

With these two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law examples as examples, I believe she would be very happy to have such an "open-minded and tolerant" mother-in-law.

【Humph! 】

Guan Ling Shuang muttered to herself.

I simply refuse to believe that someone as gentle, kind, and understanding as me could possibly become that ridiculously wicked mother-in-law from those melodramatic novels.

Thinking about this, Jiang Mianmian couldn't help but feel indignant.

[If anyone dares to label me a wicked mother-in-law, I'll give them a piece of my mind and show them what I'm capable of!]

Guan Ling Shuang couldn't help but laugh. She had only wanted to distract Jiang Mianmian, afraid that she was still thinking about being kidnapped and was worried. She didn't expect that Jiang Mianmian didn't care at all and was more worried about being labeled as an "evil mother-in-law".

Just then, Xiao Jiu and his friends rushed over. When they arrived at the scene, they saw Guan Ling Shuang chatting happily with a young woman.

Upon closer inspection, it was less of a conversation and more of the young woman talking animatedly and incessantly.

Guan Ling Shuang smiled and occasionally echoed her words, appearing to be in a rather pleasant mood.

At this moment, Guan Ling Shuang was filled with helplessness. For some reason, she didn't seem unhappy when dealing with Jiang Mian Mian.

This greatly surprised Guan Ling Shuang's teammates who had spent a long time with her. Some even rubbed their eyes, wondering if they were seeing things and had mistaken her for someone else.

You should know that if anyone dared to mention finding a husband to this "tiger mom" Guan Ling Shuang, she would instantly change her expression, yell at that person, and then turn around and leave.

However, today, when faced with the same topic, she was completely uncharacteristically calm, not only without losing her temper, but also appearing remarkably composed, which was truly baffling.

The crowd muttered to themselves, "This is really strange! Has the tigress changed her nature?"

Of course, when her teammate Xiao Jiu arrived, she brought several officials from the Ministry of Justice with her. As a result, Luo Yuchuan was also arrested by the officials.

One of the officials recognized Jiang Mianmian and politely inquired about the details of the incident.

While Jiang Mianmian was talking with the officials, Guan Ling Shuang seized the opportunity and quietly told Xiao Jiu about her "abnormal" situation that day, guessing with a happy expression that she might have awakened some kind of incredibly powerful superpower.

After hearing Guan Ling Shuang's words, Xiao Jiu looked like she had seen a ghost. After a moment of silence, she slowly said, "Sister Shuang, is it possible... that you're just hallucinating?"

"I've considered that too, but I just tested her, and she really is Gu Yunchen's mother! And it's so amazing, she didn't even have time to tell me herself, but I already knew!"

Guan Ling Shuang continued, her face beaming, "And there's something even more amazing! Do you know why she's here? It turns out she was kidnapped and forcibly stuffed into a hidden compartment in a carriage."

"And I discovered all of this through my superpowers..."

At this moment, Xiao Jiu suddenly interjected, "Isn't it possible... that it was just your intuition? Think about it, who are you? You're the infamous female demon in our camp!"

With your keen observation and tracking skills, it's perfectly normal to be able to detect something amiss by following subtle clues!

However, given your current unique situation, you might be experiencing other hallucinations, leading you to these seemingly unrealistic thoughts...

At this point, Xiao Jiu seemed to remember something and quickly asked Guan Ling Shuang, "By the way, Sister Ling Shuang, did you take your medicine on time today?"

Upon hearing this, Guan Ling Shuang instantly flew into a rage. She glared at him and gritted her teeth, squeezing out a single word:

"roll......"

What to do? Not only are my hands itching, but my fists are also hard!

She really wanted to hit someone!

Just as Guan Ling Shuang's anger was rising, Gu Yun Chen also rushed to the scene.

He spotted Guan Ling Shuang immediately and rushed forward, asking with concern, "Miss Ling Shuang, how is my mother? Is she injured?"

"Your mother is fine, just a few minor scratches. But don't worry, I just applied the medicine for her, and the constables are currently questioning her about the details!"

Hearing this, Gu Yunchen's tense heart finally relaxed. He breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Guan Ling Shuang with gratitude, and said sincerely:

"Thank you so much, Ling Shuang, for your help. If you hadn't appeared in time, my mother would probably have been in danger."

In fact, Guan Ling Shuang had no idea that since discovering Jiang Mianmian was missing, and so much time had passed, his eldest brother, sister-in-law, and second brother were almost frantic with worry.

Now that he knows his mother is safe and sound, Gu Yunchen finally feels relieved.

He hurriedly sent someone back to the Marquis's residence to report that he was safe and sound, and to tell his elder brothers the good news so that they would no longer have to worry.

However, Gu Yunchen did not notice that Guan Ling Shuang's expression seemed slightly unnatural when she spoke to him.

The reason was simple: she kept in mind what Jiang Mianmian had said before—that she was considered Gu Yunchen's "white moonlight."

So, Guan Ling Shuang secretly began to sized up Gu Yun Chen in front of her.

Gu Yunchen had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. You could vaguely see the shadow of his mother between his brows, but he also had a bit more of the heroic spirit unique to men. You have to admit that he was really quite handsome.

It's unclear whether it was because Gu Yunchen concealed his feelings so perfectly, or because Guan Ling Shuang was simply too obtuse.

In short, after careful observation, she couldn't detect even the slightest hint of affection from Gu Yunchen towards her.

Gu Yunchen's gaze towards her was no different from that of someone who had taken a liking to her, except perhaps for a hint of admiration between powerful individuals.

Guan Ling Shuang thought to herself: If this is true, then Gu Yun Chen's acting skills are indeed quite impressive. No wonder he was able to become the Emperor's fourth-rank personal bodyguard in just a few years. I heard that His Majesty relies on him quite a bit!

It seems my father was right; he does have some ability!
