Here is the translation of the passage you provided:

"Chen'er!"

With a creak, the door slowly opened, and a beautiful woman quickly walked in like a gust of wind. Her gaze immediately locked onto Qin Chen on the bed, and her eyes were instantly filled with joy—joy that came from finding something she thought lost.

"Chen'er, you’re finally awake!" The beautiful woman had tears still on her face as she immediately embraced Qin Chen and cried out loud. The cry was full of worry, relief, and endless motherly love. As Qin Chen felt the warmth of this familiar embrace, a faint warmth arose in his heart, a feeling as though a stone had been thrown into a cold lake, causing ripples to form.

The beautiful woman’s name was Qin Yuechi, the daughter of King Dingwu of the Da Qi Kingdom, and she was Qin Chen’s mother. The original owner of this body shared the same name, and had tragically died after falling off a martial arts stage during a dispute at the academy. Unexpectedly, Qin Chen had taken over this body by chance, thus gaining a second life.

"Chen'er, you almost scared me to death. You must never act recklessly again, do you hear me?" The beautiful woman gently stroked Qin Chen's weak face, her eyes filled with deep concern and love. Qin Chen silently looked at her, feeling an unprecedented sense of gratitude. In his past life, he had been an orphan, struggling with loneliness and hardship, never experiencing such warm motherly love. He never expected that in this second life, he would have such a loving mother. According to the original owner’s memories, his mother had always treated him with care and affection, taking care of him in every way, and their bond had been very harmonious.

Looking at Qin Yuechi, who was worried and crying, Qin Chen spoke, "I won’t be reckless again, mother. I’m sorry for worrying you!" As these words left his mouth, Qin Chen felt a sense of release in his soul, and the lingering feeling of restraint completely vanished. He knew that the original owner's consciousness had completely dissipated, and from now on, this body belonged only to him, Qin Chen!

"That’s good." The beautiful woman looked at Qin Chen with tenderness in her eyes, as if he was the only one in her world.

"Chen'er, tell me, did someone frame you…" Qin Yuechi's brows furrowed slightly as she looked at Qin Chen with worry.

"No, I chose to duel with that person myself," Qin Chen replied, lowering his head, his gaze as cold as frost. The truth was, Wei Zhen had openly insulted him at the academy, calling him a bastard and insulting his mother. In anger, Qin Chen had agreed to the duel. Now, it was clear that it was all part of a plot against him. If he told his mother the truth, she would likely go after the Wei family and create more trouble. But his mother’s position in the Dingwu King’s household was already precarious, so how could he let her fall into danger again?

Qin Yuechi had been known as the most beautiful woman in Da Qi when she was young, her beauty rivaling that of a goddess. She was admired secretly by countless nobles and princes. Even the current emperor had shown interest in her, at one point considering making her his consort. However, Qin Yuechi had suddenly disappeared from home. Three years later, she returned with a newborn Qin Chen. This caused a great stir in the capital, and people couldn’t stop talking about it. The Qin family was furious and nearly killed her. It was only Qin Yuechi's father, Qin Batian, the King of Dingwu, who had forcefully taken her in, despite the objections. However, the rest of the family regarded Qin Yuechi and Qin Chen as a disgrace, and their lives in the Qin family were full of hardship and neglect. That was why it was no surprise that no doctor came to check on Qin Chen during his three-day coma.

"Chen'er, even though you didn’t awaken your bloodline, there will still be opportunities. Don’t act impulsively and get into fights. Even if you don’t become a powerful warrior, it’s okay. Your mother will always protect you," Qin Yuechi said, looking at the weak Qin Chen on the bed, her nose tingling and her eyes turning red. Chen'er was so determined and strong-willed, but if he couldn’t resolve his inner turmoil, he would likely get into trouble again.

"Didn’t awaken my bloodline?" Qin Chen, through the memories of the body, understood the situation. The original owner of this body had a decent talent and had worked hard to gain admission to the top academy, the Tianxing Academy. However, during several bloodline awakening ceremonies, he had failed to awaken his bloodline. On the Tianwu Continent, bloodline was everything. Whether or not a bloodline awakened directly determined the future success of a warrior. Without an awakened bloodline, one could never truly become a powerful figure and would be limited in every aspect of their martial path. The original owner had been deeply discouraged by this. His sole goal was to grow stronger and change his and his mother’s situation in the Qin family, but fate had dealt him a cruel blow. He had become despondent and had lost all hope.

"Don’t worry, mother. This little setback won’t break me," Qin Chen said, feeling Qin Yuechi’s concern. His gaze softened. He wasn’t just comforting her—awakening his bloodline didn’t mean much to him, considering his past life as an eighth-level bloodline Royal Master. With his deep research and experience in bloodlines, solving the awakening issue would be a simple task.

Qin Chen’s bright smile warmed Qin Yuechi’s heart. "In that case, I can rest easy." Qin Yuechi was about to say something else when suddenly—

Knock knock knock. Someone knocked on the door loudly, almost kicking it. The rude knocking sound was jarring in the quiet room, leaving an unpleasant feeling. Qin Yuechi hurriedly got up to open the door.

A maid swaggered into the room. "Young Miss, why did it take so long to open the door?" The maid said displeasedly, though she addressed her as "Young Miss," her tone was full of arrogance and disrespect.

"Yanzhi, Chen'er has just woken up and is still weak. Please keep your voice down," Qin Yuechi said gently, her tone carrying a hint of helplessness and endurance.

Only then did Yanzhi glance at Qin Chen on the bed with surprise, a mocking smile appearing on her face, full of disdain. "Young Master Chen has woken up, congratulations," she said with a mocking tone, but there was no trace of a smile, and her eyes were cold, as though Qin Chen owed her money.

Yanzhi was a maidservant of Qin Chen’s aunt, Lady Zhao. The Qin family had a long history of military service, and for generations, they had been loyal and accomplished generals. Qin Chen’s grandfather, Qin Batian, was the King of Dingwu, and his uncle, Qin Yuanhong, had been granted the title of Anping Marquis. Therefore, Lady Zhao was the matriarch of the Dingwu King’s household.

However, Lady Zhao had always disliked Qin Chen and Qin Yuechi, seeing them as a stain on the Dingwu family’s reputation. She had been trying to get rid of them and had been making life difficult for them at every turn.

"What are you doing here?" Qin Chen coldly looked at Yanzhi with a trace of disgust in his eyes.

"Young Master Chen, don’t get any ideas. I’m not here to look for you," Yanzhi scoffed, then turned to look at Qin Yuechi. "Young Miss, I trust you haven’t forgotten the agreement with Madam?"

Qin Yuechi’s body trembled slightly, a flicker of humiliation crossing her face as her complexion turned pale. She glanced at Qin Chen, covered him with a silken quilt, and softly said, "Chen'er, I need to go out for a moment. Rest well."

Qin Chen felt a sense of unease upon seeing his mother’s tremble and furrowed his brows. "Mother, where are you going? I’ll go with you."

Qin Yuechi stopped and turned around, her warm hand gently touching Qin Chen’s face. "Silly child, I’m just in the manor. You’re worried I’ll be bullied? You’ve just woken up, so rest. I’ll be back soon."

Qin Chen frowned. "No, mother, tell me, what agreement did you make with Lady Zhao?"

Yanzhi, impatiently, interrupted. "What’s the big deal? You were half-dead, lying unconscious. Your mother knelt outside Madam’s door all night, begging for a divine pill to save you. Do you still have the face to ask why? If I were you, I would’ve thrown myself off a cliff."

"Shut up!" Qin Chen’s heart hurt as he realized that his mother had agreed to meet Zhao Fen in order to get the divine pill to save his life. But that was a second-grade pill! His mother had sacrificed her dignity for him.

He climbed out of bed and grabbed Qin Yuechi, gritting his teeth. "Mother, we won’t meet anyone. Don’t worry, from today on, I will not let you suffer any more hardship, and I will not let you meet that old scoundrel Zhao Qi Rui!"

Qin Yuechi’s body trembled as tears shimmered in her beautiful eyes, a mixture of gratitude and worry.

Qin Chen’s expression was cold as he turned to Yanzhi, his gaze sharp as a dagger. "As for you, get
