Nalan Mingzhu trembled.
Where did she go wrong?
Where exactly did she go wrong?
Was it being born as an illegitimate daughter?
No, this was not something she could choose.
She looked at the old lady in confusion, shock, sadness, and covered her face as she ran away crying.
Mrs. Liao opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but ultimately couldn’t.
Turning, she saw Nalan Mingcong standing silently, watching her with a heavy gaze, and Mrs. Liao felt her heart ache. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel-fire.net
"Mother, I don’t want to go to the Capital City!"
Though he was still young, he already understood the difference between legitimate and illegitimate.
If we don’t go, how will we survive here in this small border town?
Her gentle façade would surely collapse, let alone she is burdened with a life on her back.
If she were left alone with two children in this frontier, Mrs. Xu would return with manpower to deal with her, she wouldn’t have a chance to fight back or even protect herself.
But going back with protection from the master.
The children would be somewhat safe.
"I know, mother don’t worry, one day, I will bring you and sister back here!"
By then, the sky will be vast for birds to fly, the sea wide for fish to leap!
"Alright, I remember what Mingcong said!"
Nalan Jinlian and Mrs. Xu chatted with great rapport, both being gentle and elegant people with wisdom, they could connect over conversation.
"Miss, it’s time to drink your medicine!" Chunqiu softly called from the side.
Hearing this, Nalan Jinlian frowned slightly and spoke softly, "Go get the medicine, and while you’re at it, go to the kitchen and prepare a few vegetarian dishes for me to have here with mother!"
Chunqiu hesitated for a moment, then responded, "Yes!"
The mother and daughter continued to discuss other matters.
They even went to the backyard to see the plum tree.
"Unfortunately, we can’t see it this year!" Mrs. Xu lamented in a low voice.
"There’s plum blossoms in the Imperial Capital too!"
Perhaps the plum blossoms in the Imperial Capital are better, more beautiful, more delicate.
"Lianlian!" Mrs. Xu softly called.
"Do you really not remember what happened in the past?" Mrs. Xu asked gently.
"Truly can’t remember, in the past I was ignorant, I hope mother doesn’t take it to heart!"
Mrs. Xu shook her head.
She reached out and gently hugged Nalan Jinlian, "It’s okay, back then mother wasn’t a good mother either, from now on we’ll be well!"
Why did she lose her memory for no apparent reason?
Was it really a fall from the stairs? Or was she harmed by someone else?
No wonder Mrs. Xu thought this way, because Nalan Jinlian was truly beautiful.
Nalan Bo returned and immediately summoned the butler to inquire, learning that Nalan Jinlian was in Mrs. Xu’s courtyard, had eaten lunch and hadn’t returned, even took the medicine to drink there, his expression turned very unpleasant.
"Master?" the butler whispered.
He didn’t know the origins of the young miss, but he knew that the young miss in this mansion drowned ten years ago, since then the mistress moved to the backyard.
Never came out again, didn’t attend to the affairs of the mansion, nor cared for the master.
"This old servant is here!"
Nalan Bo wanted to say something, but in the end said nothing, waving his hand to signal the butler to leave.
After Butler Wu withdrew, Nalan Bo smashed quite a few things.
Only when Nalan Jinlian left did he enter Mrs. Xu’s courtyard.
Nalan Bo could not see the desolation and bleakness in the courtyard, but upon entering the room, seeing Mrs. Xu kneeling before the White Jade Guanyin, he stepped forward and swept the White Jade Guanyin to the ground.
The White Jade Guanyin instantly shattered into several pieces.
