Chapter 1350: 191, Adding Fuel to the Flames (One More Update)_2
Lady Liu was completely focused on her daughter’s leg, quickly making her sit beside her and lifting up her trouser leg to examine the knee.
"Ah, it’s all bruised! Does it hurt? Let mom rub it for you!" While carefully blowing on it, Lady Liu began to gently massage Lin Wei’s knee with her fingertips.
Unable to hold back, Lin Wei suddenly burst into tears and plunged into Lady Liu’s arms, crying her heart out.
Lady Liu stroked her daughter’s head, softly comforting her, and as she spoke, her own tears began to fall.
If anyone was to be considered the most aggrieved person today, it was undoubtedly Lin Wei, who was insulted in front of so many people. If it had been Lin Yuan, she would have retorted, but Lin Wei was not like that at all. The fact she hadn’t shown weakness and cried in front of Lady Jiang was already very admirable.
Seeing the mother and daughter, one crying and the other coaxing, Lin Yuan felt both relieved and heartbroken, quietly touching her slightly sore nose.
Xiao He’s tears had already begun to fall. She thought of Lady Chen, who had secretly run away from home. Both were mothers; how could Lady Chen and Lady Liu be so different? When Lin Dashuan died, Lady Chen fled, leaving her to become a lonely orphan. Even with the care of Lin Ershuan’s family and the concern and love of Lin Yuan’s family, in the stillness of the night, Xiao He often reminisced about the mother who had abandoned her.
Where was she now, and how was she doing? When it was cold, did she have clothes to wear, and when she was hungry, did she have food?
If she had felt resentment towards her mother before, now that she was older, she harbored more concern.
Xiao He silently called out in her heart, "Mother, where exactly are you? Have you thought about coming back to see your daughter?"
After communicating with Lin Wei, Lady Liu came to understand the situation between her and Xiao Linzi. It was not as sordid as Lady Jiang had described. The two had always treated each other as friends and had never done anything inappropriate. Moreover, they were just children; how could they possibly do anything shameful?
However, knowing about the relationship between the two, Lady Liu became even more worried. Xiao Linzi was a concubine’s son and naturally was not favored in the Chen family. Moreover, Chen Haigang was not a flexible man; he pretty much believed whatever Lady Jiang said.
Looking at this, the path ahead for Lin Wei and Xiao Linzi would not be easy.
This was also Lin Yuan’s concern, but it wasn’t impossible to solve. Since Xiao Linzi was not favored in the Chen family, why not have both of them break free from the Chen family? However, such things couldn’t be achieved in just a few words; they required careful, long-term planning.
"If Xiao Linzi has the resolve, he should seize an opportunity to break away from the Chen family. Otherwise, under people like Lady Jiang, you surely won’t have any good days ahead," Lady Liu sighed, shook her head, and said no more.
Lin Wei, however, had some vague ideas in her mind. Moreover, Xiao Linzi had indeed mentioned to her before that he didn’t want to stay in the Chen family anymore. Now, both of them were striving hard, hoping one day to break free from their hardship and start a new life, leaving Jiang and Chen Haigang to regret their actions. ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Although it was out of spite, Lin Yuan still bought one thousand taels of silver worth of emerald brocade from Wu Ji. Previously, they had been dismissive of the Wu family’s two brothers and consequently never looked favorably upon Wu Ji’s fabrics. But after receiving the emerald brocade, it really opened Lin Yuan’s eyes.
Although not as light as Cicada Wing or as magical as Light Mist, the emerald brocade had its own unique charm. Not only was the color as green as jade, but the feel of it in one’s hands was also smooth and cool like jade. Truly living up to its name, both visually and tactilely, it was lush green.
"Who would have thought, the Wu family does have some capability," Lin Yuan said with a slight smile and a hint of mystery as she touched the emerald brocade, which was piled up like a little hill.
Butler Zhou stood by, startled today when the Wu family had the emerald brocade delivered; one thousand taels of silver worth of fabric had nearly given him a fright. How much cloth was that? Moreover, they had made the purchase during a price war, getting twice as much fabric as usual.
Tsk, Butler Zhou clicked his tongue, recalling how his jaw had nearly dropped when the Wu family had brought in that mountainous pile.
"Miss, we bought so much fabric, this will surely last us until the New Year!"
Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow, took a piece of fabric and caressed it, her lips curling into a smile as she said, "How could that be? Go, call the fabric shop owner and the girls over, I’m making new clothes for everyone in the house, including the kitchen ladies and the maids!"
