Today, Madam Sheng wore a light yellow begonia-patterned long dress, and her hair was styled in a traditional Chinese updo with a jade hairpin inserted diagonally, which looked particularly dazzling in the sunlight.
Her dignified and proper demeanor is hard to reconcile with her appearance at yesterday's full moon celebration.
Her indifferent expression still made it difficult to fathom her thoughts.
The two maids behind her followed silently as they walked towards the Hibiscus Courtyard.
"Madam Sheng, you've arrived! My mother has been waiting for you for a long time." Lin Chang'an's words were as sweet as honey.
Madam Sheng was inexplicably surprised by his words, but the surprise quickly dissipated.
"You must be Chang'an, you've grown so much!" Madam Sheng smiled and reached out to pat Lin Chang'an's head.
"Madam Sheng has a good memory. I am Lin Chang'an."
Lin Chang'an led Madam Sheng into the house and then ran away.
Ye Lanyin sat in the main seat with Lin Wanwan in her arms. When she saw Madam Sheng arrive, she was momentarily dazed.
"Please sit down," she said calmly.
"Hmm," Madam Sheng said awkwardly.
The two remained silent for a while until tea was served, which broke the awkward silence between them.
"What happened yesterday was due to my negligence. I apologize to Madam Sheng."
As Ye Lanyin spoke, she stood up while holding Lin Wanwan, preparing to bow to Madam Sheng.
Madam Sheng hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Ye Lanyin aside, "That's not your fault, it's that woman who's dishonest."
"How can I put it? That person is the Marquis's cousin. As his elder sister-in-law, I am naturally guilty."
【Pah, what elder sister-in-law?】
She's not the old lady's niece at all.
[She's clearly my father's mistress.]
Madam Sheng was startled and her eyes widened.
If the voices she heard in her mind yesterday were a hallucination, then what she heard today was real.
Ye Lanyin's child is extraordinary!
Ye Lanyin coughed, "Madam Sheng, that cousin is the old lady's sister's child. She came to visit relatives. It was my negligence that caused this to happen."
"If it were you..."
"Is your husband good to you?" Madam Sheng interrupted Ye Lanyin and asked in return.
Ye Lanyin felt inexplicably guilty.
"fine."
[What a load of rubbish! That scumbag father kept a mistress, and she even came to cause trouble for my mother during my postpartum period.]
This morning, she came again asking Mother for money to help her mistress.
My mother ran into the worst guy in the world.
Lin Wanwan looked at Madam Sheng with her dark eyes and grinned at her.
Madam Sheng's cold expression crumbled instantly.
"If she's so good, why did you help outsiders yesterday instead of you?" Madam Sheng stretched out a hand and pointed at Lin Wanwan: "This child is so cute, she will definitely look like you in the future."
Ye Lanyin lowered her head, her eyes slightly red.
She remembered that her daughter said that Madam Sheng mourned for her and was even demoted in order to help her family.
She knew that Madam Sheng had disliked the Marquis of Zhenbei from the beginning, and that the reason she had been unwilling to talk to her all these years was largely due to her husband's family.
For more than a decade, she served her parents-in-law and obeyed her husband, immersing herself in the happy marriage described by the people of Bianjing.
I never imagined that her quiet happiness was an illusion.
It wasn't until she heard her daughter's heartfelt words that she suddenly understood from the details.
She reached out and pulled Madam Sheng closer. "Yu Rong, thank you for coming to see me."
"Who came to see you? I came to see your daughter." Madam Sheng awkwardly hugged Lin Wanwan and teased her.
Ye Lanyin chuckled, "Fine, let's see what she does." You're just being stubborn.
Immediately afterwards, their gazes met like the strings of a musical instrument.
They smiled at each other, their memories of the girl overlapping with the image of the noblewoman before them. Their smiles, like the rising sun, dispelled the long-standing gloom.
After years of misunderstandings and setbacks, the friendship has finally been resolved at this moment.
This is a blessing for Hyde and Lin Wanwan.
“Wanwan, your mother is very foolish, isn’t she? I told her back then that we should marry someone of equal social standing, but she was stubborn and brainwashed by that man.”
"Now, she can't blame anyone for the path she chose."
Aunt Sheng is absolutely right, my mother is just so stubborn.
[Waaaaah, Aunt Sheng was a general's wife, and so was my mother, but why isn't she even half as intelligent as Aunt Sheng?]
[Having run into that cheap, scumbag father, I'm completely lost.]
Madam Sheng chuckled softly.
She longs for a daughter like that.
Thinking of her children at home, her eyes showed a hint of sadness.
Ye Lanyin was extremely embarrassed.
Is it her fault?
She was framed, okay?
[Such a good Aunt Sheng, what a pity! The concubines in her household are so vicious.]
Madam Sheng: ? ? ?
Ye Lanyin: ? ? ?
The concubine secretly placed a curse talisman in the third flower bed on the left side of Aunt Sheng's inner courtyard.
Aunt Sheng still doesn't know this and treats her like a sister.
[His own daughter was cursed, yet he still diligently sent money to her every month, expressing his gratitude for her ginseng soup.]
Madam Sheng: !!!
If she hadn't come today, would she have never known the source of her daughter's ordeal?
Ye Lanyin glanced at Madam Sheng and saw that her face was gentle and smiling.
I don't know how to say what I want to say.
Lin Wanwan pouted and blew bubbles.
Poor Aunt Sheng, she's always wanted to have another child, but she just can't conceive.
[This can't be blamed on her and Uncle Sheng. That concubine was always given contraceptive soup after sex; how could she possibly have children?]
[All that's missing is to send her a red flower!]
"Wah wah pfft pfft..." Lin Wanwan's mouth was full of saliva. She waved her little fists, looking for attention.
