Jade Without Fragrance

Green bricks and green tiles, flowers bloom by the path, their fragrance staining clothes; vermilion gates and purple halls, delicate hands pluck stars, making neon into garments.

Chapter 30 Mom, I'm Scared

Chapter 30 Mom, I'm Scared

Looking at her two beautiful granddaughters, no, they are granddaughters now, the old lady felt happy, but she was also worried that Wen Rugui's dismissal would affect their mood.

"Have you heard about your father's dismissal?"

The two sisters looked at each other and said in unison, "I heard about it."

The old lady sighed, "Grandma knows you're all upset that such a good family has ended like this. Even if your father did such a thing, the bond between father and daughter cannot be completely severed. But you must remember, if your father comes to you in the future, don't deal with it privately, be sure to tell Grandma."

In this incident, the saddest person is the daughter, but the most difficult ones are the two children.

Wen Rugui has enjoyed wealth for twenty years, but now he has nothing. It is only a matter of time before he finds his two daughters.

It is true that the two children have been married into the Lin family. According to worldly perceptions, it is impossible to sever the blood ties with their biological father.

If Wen Rugui came looking for her, she and Wanqing could beat and scold him, but the two children could not turn against each other, otherwise they would be criticized.

The old lady was willing to take the lead, but she was worried that the two sisters would be soft-hearted in front of their father and allow him to harass and exploit them.

"Granddaughter understands." Lin Chan responded with her eyes lowered, her expression solemn.

But within two days, earth-shaking changes took place in the family. It was true that she hated her father, but if her father came to her, she didn't know if she could turn a blind eye and not care whether he lived or died.

Lin Chan's mood was particularly heavy due to the contradiction.

When the old lady saw Lin Chan agreed, she looked at Lin Hao.

Compared to her sister's heavy heart, Lin Hao seemed much more relaxed: "Don't worry, grandma, it has been cut off."

These words stunned both the old lady and Lin Chan.

Lin Hao spoke calmly and made it clearer: "From yesterday on, I only have my grandmother, mother and eldest sister, and no longer have a father."

She is different from her sister.

Although the eldest sister was angry about what her father did, she did not see her grandmother die in anger, did not see her mother being imprisoned because of madness and stupidity, did not see the man she married hang himself, and did not see her younger sister fall into poverty and flee and finally die in the snow that winter.

For those who are tolerant and kind, it is difficult to completely sever the blood ties that connect them without truly experiencing despair.

"Oh, oh..." The old lady became even more worried.

She didn't want her granddaughter to be bound by the so-called father-daughter relationship, but she also didn't want her granddaughter to become extreme after suffering a great blow.

Seeing the old lady like this, Lin Hao chuckled: "Grandma, I can let it go. Why do you look even more worried?"

The old lady spoke frankly, "Grandma is worried that you're getting stuck in a rut."

Lin Hao tilted her head slightly and smiled sweetly: "No. My granddaughter thinks the sky is still blue, the flowers are still fragrant, and the beggar chicken in our general's mansion is still the most delicious."

The old lady was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Of the two granddaughters, Chan'er's gentleness and steadyness have been evident since she was a child, but it is difficult to say what Ah Hao's personality is like because she cannot speak.

Now it seems that Ah Hao is a rare free and easy and insightful person.

It’s just—

The old lady raised her hand and stroked Lin Hao's hair, not knowing whether she was happy or worried: "Ah Hao is so free and easy, I'm afraid the world doesn't understand."

Lin Hao smiled indifferently: "I don't care what the world thinks. I only care about my grandmother, mother and elder sister."

"I would feel relieved if your mother could think like you." The old lady sighed.

Since returning yesterday, Lin has been staying in her room and hasn't left yet.

The old lady understood her daughter's temper and knew that persuasion was useless, so she insisted that she figure it out on her own and move on.

"I'll go see my mother."

Lin Chan also said: "My second sister and I will go together."

The old lady nodded: "Alright, go ahead. Don't worry if you can't persuade her. Your mother is just stubborn."

Although she had a stubborn temper, she would not commit suicide like an ordinary woman when faced with a huge setback. This alone made the old lady feel at ease.

"My sisters and I went to see my aunt." As such a big thing happened, Cheng Shu took a special leave.

"Shu'er, don't go. You still have something to do."

After hearing what the old lady said, Cheng Shu stopped insisting.

After Sister Lin Hao left, the old lady's face darkened: "Shu'er, take someone to the Wen Mansion and take back our house."

Cheng Shu's eyes lit up: "Don't worry, I will definitely get it done!"

He had been holding a lot of anger in his heart and had nowhere to vent it.

"Cuixiang, go with Shu'er."

"Yes." The nanny standing beside the old lady responded.

The old lady picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly.

It belongs to the Lin family, Wen Rugui can’t take it away!

Fangfei, the maidservant, was guarding outside the door of Lin's house. When she saw Lin Hao and the other man coming, she knelt down and greeted them.

"Has Madam eaten yet?" Lin Chan asked.

Fang Fei lowered her head and said, "The food that was sent in has not been touched."

Lin Chan's face looked a little ugly. She reached out to push the door open, but was stopped by Fang Fei.

"Miss, the missus said she wanted to be alone."

"Even if you're alone, you can't skip meals." Lin Chan knocked gently on the door. "Mom, my second sister and I are here to see you."

After a while, Lin's hoarse voice came from inside: "It's Chan'er. You take Ah Hao back. Mother wants to be alone and quiet. She will be fine after these two days."

Lin Chan didn't dare to push too hard, so she softened her tone, "Mom, you have to eat, or your body won't be able to bear it."

"I will eat it later."

Lin Chan looked at Fang Fei, and Fang Fei shook her head.

"mother--"

Lin interrupted Lin Chan: "Chan'er, be obedient, mother just wants to be quiet for a while."

Lin Chan didn't dare to persuade her, nor did she dare to leave. She looked at her sister anxiously.

Lin Hao rubbed his eyes, threw himself against the door and cried miserably: "Mother——"

This sudden situation made Lin Chan's face change.

Lin Hao blinked at her while crying.

The door suddenly opened, and Lin looked panicked: "Ah Hao, what's wrong?"

Lin Hao threw himself into Lin's arms, sobbing, "Mom, I had a nightmare. I was so scared!"

"Nightmare?" Lin didn't react for a moment.

She suddenly heard her daughter's miserable cry, her mind went blank, and by the time she reacted, she had already rushed to the door.

Lin Hao looked up, tears streaming down her cheeks. "I dreamt something happened to my mother, and my father used that as an excuse to bring my sister and me back to the Wen Mansion. The mistress of the Wen Mansion became Chang, and my sister and I had to call her mother. Under her decision, my sister and I were promised to two men whose character was even worse than my father's. But Chang Qing married—"

Lin Hao couldn't come up with a fabrication for a moment, so he said casually, "She married the prince of the neighboring Jing Palace, and all the dowry she used was my mother's dowry."

The girl's terrified and aggrieved cry grew louder: "Mom, if you don't eat, something might happen. If something happens to you, father's mistress will take your place, spend your money, and bully your daughter. And we still have to call her mother honestly..."

When Lin heard this, she burst into tears.

"Don't be afraid, Mom will eat right away..."

Looking at the mother and daughter crying in each other's arms, Lin Chan was stunned.
