This family, apart from her Jinnian, disgusts me to the point of retching.
Lady Su and Lady Hua were sent back to their own courts and knelt in the middle of the courtyard. Yun Zuomo, Yun Qingzhi, and Yun Qingqing were also called back. Seeing the concubines kneeling in the courtyard, the three daughters cried to the point of becoming tearful figures.
But there was nothing they could do.
"It’s all because of her. If she didn’t come back, father wouldn’t have treated you . Why can’t she just stay in the nunnery forever..."
"Zimo!" Lady Su gasped.
Had Mrs. Han heard this, Yun Zuomo would also be severely punished.
In the past, when Yun Qi didn’t come back, with Mrs. He, the Lady of the house, their reputation was a priority. Mrs. He wouldn’t mistreat them and the three legitimate daughters would have decent marriages ahead. But now, with Mrs. Han and Yun Jinnian returning...
Having served Mrs. Han for many years, Lady Su knew her temperament, especially with Yun Qi’s heart belonging to Mrs. Han. Her words carried more weight than Lady Su’s could, even if she argued until her mouth was sore.
One could tell from today’s events.
She shouldn’t have provoked Mrs. Han, she shouldn’t have.
The more Lady Su thought about it, the more she regretted it.
Yun Jinnian returned to Niannian Garden, holding the Medical Books in a daze. When Mrs. Han walked in and saw that Yun Jinnian was holding the books upside down, she felt a dull pain in her chest.
This child is very sensitive.
"You’re holding the books upside down!"
At these words, Yun Jinnian snapped back to reality, and seeing that she indeed was holding the books upside down, she laughed, put down the books, and stepped forward to support Mrs. Han, "Mother, why did you come here?"
"I came to see you. Were you scared earlier?" Mrs. Han asked with caution.
Yun Jinnian shook her head, helped Mrs. Han to sit on the Arhat bed, "It’s just that my heart aches. Mother, for my sake, you’ve been making so many compromises. The days in the Yun family might not be as peaceful and happy as at the farmhouse!"
"Indeed, it’s not as good as the farmhouse. But the farmhouse doesn’t have my daughter. Although it’s not pleasant here, my longingly awaited daughter is here. There are gains and losses, but the gains are more!" Mrs. Han rubbed Yun Jinnian’s head, "Stop worrying about nonsense. Coming back to accompany you, I don’t feel aggrieved at all. Being able to watch you grow up makes me very happy. Those years, it was I who wronged you. I always thought that you would have a good life in the Yun family, but I never considered that some people are heartless. How could they be expected to care for you? From now on, with me here, I won’t allow anyone to insult you ever again!"
This was also the reason she couldn’t forgive Yun Qi.
If he could be so indifferent to his own daughter, how could she expect him to be devoted to her?
"Mother, can you and father ever go back to what you once were?"
"We can never go back to the past, we never will!"
Yun Jinnian didn’t understand.
Yet she thought, as if in a dream, after going through so much, could she and Chu Liange ever return to the way they were?
"Mother, I will always be with you!"
"Silly girl, you have to marry one day. Marry someone who treasures you, not like your father..."
Yun Jinnian chuckled.
Perhaps that person will never exist.
If she could really choose, she would only want to marry one person, to bear the child from her dreams, Momo.
And then give him a secure and happy life.
The mother and daughter quickly changed the subject and resolutely did not mention Yun Qi.
Yun Qi just happened to hear Mrs. Han’s words at the doorway. She said, "We can never go back to the past, marry a man who will treasure you, not like your father!"
Once, he had also treasured Mrs. Han, afraid she’d fly away if he held her in his palm, afraid she’d melt if he kept her in his mouth.
He made a mistake, and it was right for Mrs. Han not to forgive him.
He turned and walked away!
