Chapter 309 Ask whatever you want.
"Little sister, just ask whatever you want."
On the carriage, Ye Hua mustered her courage to glance at Ye Wan, then quickly lowered her head again.
"What do I want to ask?" Ye Wan looked at Ye Hua and saw that the other was holding a handkerchief and rubbing it incessantly until it was almost torn to shreds, like a child who had done something wrong.
"Just now, he..." Ye Hua wanted to say that she just didn't know how to refuse Feng Xinshui's kindness, and that she didn't sneak off to have dinner with him.
It's such a coincidence that we happened to be here today.
"Big sister, this is your freedom. I can't let you be without any friends. But if you're looking for someone to entrust your life to, I hope you'll keep your eyes open." Ye Wan spoke directly and liked to get straight to the point.
If that person is just a scholar without official rank or any other outstanding qualities, she wouldn't be optimistic about him.
"I don't know what I'm thinking either," Ye Hua said, lowering her head.
She seems to... like him a little.
"Then let yourself calm down and look for the answer again." Ye Wan sighed and took Ye Hua's hand. "You can also see what the other person is thinking. Don't just have unrequited love."
"Okay." Ye Hua smiled.
My sister's hands are so warm; holding them makes me feel safe and secure.
"Mother, mother!"
Ye Wan seemed to vaguely hear someone calling for her mother, and asked Ye Hua, "Did you hear anything?"
Ye Hua paused for a moment, "I didn't hear anything, what's that noise outside?"
When Ye Wan listened again, it seemed to have disappeared.
"Maybe I misheard."
On the street not far away, two figures were panting heavily, almost out of breath from running, and could only watch helplessly as the carriage drove away.
Ke Xinrui immediately knelt on the ground and cried, "Mother, how could you be so heartless? Don't you really want your daughter anymore?"
They realized that the old lady had left in this carriage, so they hurriedly chased after her, but how could two-legged people outrun a four-legged horse?
Despite rushing and shouting at the top of my lungs, they still left.
Ke Xinrui knelt on the cold ground, exhausted and resentful, tears streaming down her face.
When Huigu saw that Aunt Cai had woken up, she said, "Madam, it sounds like there are two people following behind us calling out to people. Should we listen and take a look?"
Those two people have been chasing us since just now, and Hui Gu suspects they're after Aunt Cai.
Aunt Cai was silent for a while, her head was spinning, and she closed her eyes again. "Let's keep going."
"Mother, don't kneel here crying. You could catch a cold, which could be fatal. We can find out whose carriage it is and go directly to their door!"
As Tao Mingzhu spoke, she reached out to pull Ke Xinrui, saying, "What's the use of kneeling and crying here? Even those who should be watching can't see it."
Tears should be used for something useful.
"Yes, you're right, let's go and find out."
It was just getting dark, and the carriage was easy to spot. The mother and daughter quickly found out that it was the Lin family's carriage.
The two searched all the way and found the Lin family.
Ye Wan happened to have gone somewhere else along the way and had just arrived home, getting off the carriage.
When Ke Xinrui and Tao Mingzhu arrived, they saw a group of people entering the room, one of whom was about the same size as her mother.
Who was that person who just went in?
Ke Xinrui rushed over, startling Xiao Ma, who was about to close the door.
"That's the old lady of the manor. Wait, why should I tell you? Why are you asking about this?"
Xiao Ma reacted instantly and looked at Ke Xinrui warily.
Ke Xinrui was extremely anxious. "Your family's old lady? How could this be your family's old lady? She's Lin Anyuan's mother?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? That's our lady's mother. Who are you? Do you have visiting cards?" Xiao Ma looked at the two women and, judging from their appearance, they should be mother and daughter.
"I'm sorry, I might have mistaken you for someone else. I'm my parents' only daughter, and the person I just saw might have looked similar."
Ke Xinrui felt a void in her heart. Could it be that she hadn't seen him for so long that she had mistaken him for someone else?
Come to think of it, the figure was noticeably younger than she remembered; perhaps it was her mother's cousin from the Cai family.
When she couldn't find anyone, Ke Xinrui seemed to lose all her energy and spirit, and her stomach was also very hungry.
The mother and daughter could only buy some food and go home.
Aunt Cai, however, tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"who?"
"Mom, I can't sleep right now. Are you asleep?"
Ye Wan's voice came from outside the door.
Aunt Cai sighed, sat up in bed, and put on a coat. "I'm not asleep. Come in."
Ye Wan brought over a plate of grapes. "Mom, if you have something on your mind, you can tell me. Although I may not be able to help you, talking about it might make you feel better."
Aunt Cai didn't eat much mutton; she was drunk. Now that she's sober and a little hungry, she picked it up and started eating.
The grapes were sweet, and eating them made me feel comfortable all over, as if the fire burning in my stomach had stopped.
Then he looked at Ye Wan and laughed. "You're such a clever little devil."
“It’s that ungrateful wretch from my previous marriage who came looking for me.”
"She almost caused my husband and me to die in prison back then, but we didn't die. After we got out, we met you and had you as our daughter, which is why we have such a good life now."
"Since we've severed ties, I should just stay in Jiangnan. Now that she's come back, I thought I'd make her suffer a bit, so I can at least vent my anger."
Aunt Cai blurted out all her thoughts at once.
After all, he was a piece of her own flesh and blood. How could she not hate him, how could she not feel pain, after all those years of tossing and turning?
Ye Wan wholeheartedly agreed, "It's time to go along with it."
"Don't even mention biological children. If I raised three ungrateful wretches, I'd be furious."
"But Mother, if you can't forget, don't force yourself to forget. That will be very painful and uncomfortable. Just find something to do and you won't be able to think about it."
Aunt Cai felt a pang of sadness.
Looking at Ye Wan, he gently stroked her hair. "You're right. Now that I have you as my daughter, I'll only ever be your mother. So please don't despise me."
Ye Wan hugged the person tightly, saying, "Mother, I don't despise you, and you mustn't despise me either."
Aunt Cai laughed, but as she laughed, tears began to stream down her face.
What more could she possibly want in her life?
