Chapter 238 It’s Just a Game

When Xie Jian came back, he saw his eldest sister-in-law wiping away tears and Ah Heng comforting her. They knew what happened to their eldest brother.

"Ajian, you're back?" Chen Heng breathed a sigh of relief.

Xie Jian nodded and walked to Xia's side: "Sister-in-law, brother will soon remember the past feelings."

Xia suddenly stood up and hit Xie Jian hard with both hands, crying, "You will kill your elder brother, you will kill your elder brother."

Shen Heng was stunned, and hurriedly hugged Xia Shi and pulled her away: "Sister-in-law, Ajian had to do this."

"Min'er's father doesn't want to remember because it's too painful and he can't bear it." Xia choked and said, "If you let someone who can't bear it wake up, it will kill him."

"What about you, sister-in-law? What about Min'er?" Xie Jian's voice was hoarse. Even though his emotions were churning inside, he was used to not showing them. "You have lost your husband, Min'er has lost her father, and my eldest brother has become someone else's husband and father. He belongs to this family and he should come back. The Yu Jun family is the murderer who caused him to become like this. He is taking the thief as his son and the thief's daughter as his wife."

"Then you shouldn't hurt him again in this way. Your eldest brother is the most filial to his mother-in-law. If that woman is really his mother-in-law, how can he bear it?"

Chen Heng looked at her heartbroken sister-in-law, who had been thinking about her brother all along: "Sister-in-law, what if my brother refuses to wake up? Are we going to let him go on like this forever?"

Xia looked at Xie Jian and Shen Heng for a long moment before she sat down wearily on the stool. "You don't understand this kind of pain. If a person wants to survive, he needs some support, some light in his heart. I have you, and Lord Lu's help. But he has nothing, and he's even a nobody."

"A short pain is worse than a long one." Xie Jian said, "Sister-in-law, brother must remember. I believe he can pull through."

Looking at Ajian's firm expression, Xia remained silent.

That night, the two of them stayed with Xia for a long time before returning to their room. Xie Jian sat quietly thinking about her. Shen Heng wanted to accompany him, but she couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep unknowingly. When she woke up, she found herself in bed. It must have been A Jian who carried her to bed, and he probably hadn't slept all night.

The next day, although the weather was still overcast, the sun was faintly shining through the clouds, and it seemed that the rainy season was almost over.

Nanny Feng was sitting under the eaves, carefully examining the handkerchief given to her yesterday.

"Madam, do you like this handkerchief very much?" Shen Heng asked as she walked by.

"I like it. The girl who embroidered this handkerchief is hiding her skills, and she's deliberately trying to hide her traineeship." Nanny Feng smiled and said, "She must have some unspeakable secret. Look at the embroidery technique. If it were in the largest embroidery workshop in the imperial capital, it would be worth a tael of silver."

Chen Heng was originally in low spirits, but when she heard that the handkerchief she had spent a few dollars on was worth less than one tael of silver, she exclaimed, "Really?"

"Yes. But she's just a commoner. Her skills are superior to others, so she's definitely not inferior to others. Hiding her shortcomings is to her advantage." Madam Feng sighed, "She's a clever child."

Chen Heng took out the handkerchief from her bosom and examined it carefully. She had never been exposed to this kind of training, so she had no idea why she had to hide her poor embroidery skills. It was just a private stall, not a shop, so she wouldn't be envied by her peers.

"By the way, Madam Xia's eyes were swollen when she got up this morning. Did something happen?" Nanny Feng asked, and she looked unhappy: "Madam Shen didn't sleep well last night, did she?" She looked listless.

"Mammy, there's news about my elder brother. But everything is unclear right now, so I can't tell you yet." Chen Heng already regarded Mammy Feng as a family member, so she spoke directly, knowing that Mammy wouldn't blame her.
