Yun Zuomo did not ask why and obediently knelt down.
Concubine Su, with tears, said, "Zimo, today you swear here that no matter what happens in the future, you must not forget because of whom you were able to leave the Yun Family and marry with dignity, instead of being sold at a high price by the Lady to be someone’s concubine or wed to an old man as a second wife!"
She, of course, knew all this.
"Zimo, don’t think Aunt is just trying to scare you. You haven’t been like your Aunt, who hasn’t stepped out of the Yun Residence for over ten years. You don’t know what the world outside has become, spending a lifetime cooped up in the courtyard, even dying without anyone knowing, casually wrapped and discarded!"
These, Yun Zuomo understood and realized.
Especially if it weren’t for Yun Jinnian, she could never marry openly and honorably in her lifetime.
The legitimate mother didn’t care, and the eldest aunt, with her kind appearance but malicious heart, would certainly sell her far away to earn a substantial amount of silver for Yun Musi and Yun Mulan’s dowries.
Especially after seeing her second sister Yun Zihan’s happiness, she finally understood that this legitimate sister Yun Jinnian was cold on the outside but warm on the inside.
Touching words she wouldn’t say, but if she did, she would see them through to the end.
This legitimate sister was a kind-hearted person.
How fortunate she was.
"Aunt, I understand, I truly understand!"
Concubine Su nodded, "Since you understand, I won’t say much more, but remember, no matter what happens in the future, always remember everything she did for you today, never forget!"
"Yes, Aunt, today I swear here, I’ll never forget the kindness of my legitimate sister. If she ever needs it, I’ll spare no effort, even at the risk of my life, to help her accomplish anything!"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Su felt a faint ache in her heart seeing Yun Zuomo’s earnest expression.
Thinking back to the time when she was in front of the Lady, the Lady said in a year or two, she would find a solid family for her to marry, and she could still serve at her side. Her man was a shopkeeper outside, and their children could play with Yun Jinnian in the future.
That she would live a smooth and content life forever.
But she was blinded by Yun Qi’s gentleness and manipulated by a few words from the old madam, so she took the opportunity to climb into bed.
At that time, the Lady only glanced at her coldly, saying that she would surely regret what she did that day.
Since then, the Lady never spoke a word to her.
After many things happened, she had no one by her side, no one believed what she said, with no way whatsoever.
Taking a deep breath, she helped Yun Zuomo up, "Good child!"
Then asked about meeting the suitor, Yun Zuomo blushed and nodded slightly.
"Have you taken a liking?"
"What’s his name? How does he look?" Concubine Su asked eagerly.
Yun Zuomo smiled lightly, "His last name is Kang, first name is Mingju, he’s already a successful candidate, waiting for the autumn imperial exam, and he’s quite confident!"
Concubine Su smiled, "If only I could take a look at him!"
"Should I ask Sister?" Yun Zuomo quickly said.
In her heart, Yun Jinnian could do anything.
Concubine Su shook her head, "You can’t trouble the Commandery Princess all the time. She can help you once or twice, but certainly not too many times, especially not for me!"
Yun Jinnian didn’t mind Yun Zuomo because they shared the same father.
Yun Zuomo immediately understood.
"Aunt, I was greedy; I’ll remember this in the future!"
"As long as you remember, from now on, don’t always go out. You should start making clothes and shoes for your future husband. I think your wedding will be in May, you can prepare what you need when you’re out then!" Concubine Su said, and added, "Your father seems to be preparing a dowry for you!"
