Quan Ge'er wanted to say a few words to defend the eldest lady, but seeing his father's face as black as the bottom of a pot and his mother's grief-stricken look, he didn't dare to say a word.
Qin Su'an and Liu Yun'er were so angry that they almost vomited blood! These two old ladies were really troublesome. How could they trust Xie Wanyun so easily? They invested so much money at once, and it should have been given to them!
But now that Wei was in this state, Qin Su'an thought about it and decided not to tell Old Madam Qin for the time being. She had just started to get better recently, and if they heard the bad news later, both old ladies would fall ill at the same time, which would be very busy for them.
When Liu Yun'er heard this, she was so anxious that she scratched her head and cheeks. She wanted to tell the news to Old Madam Qin immediately. It would be great if the old lady died with her! Then the entire Marquis' Mansion would be hers.
But she didn't dare to confront Qin Su'an yet, so she could only pretend to be sad, choked up and agreed, and wiped away a few tears. Qin Su'an was also quite moved by this, feeling that at the critical moment, Liu Yun'er was still on the same page with him.
Wei Mingyue also felt quite guilty. She hadn't expected things to develop to this point. After all, she still had feelings for her aunt.
Of course, she was more thankful that she didn't invest any money in this business.
The two old ladies had a strong financial background and could afford failure. She had finally saved some money, so how could she afford to lose it?
Seeing that the adults were in a mess and no one cared about him, Quan Ge'er sneaked out and went to Mu Garden. He was so happy to see his long-lost friends that he sent a servant to fetch Jin Bai as well.
A group of children were having fun, and the vast Mu Garden was filled with their cheerful laughter. When Xie Wanyun returned and saw this scene, a smile appeared on his lips. He did not bother them and quietly returned to his residence, Yunqi Pavilion.
The sun was shining brightly, and the flowers and plants in the garden exuded a gentle charm in the tranquility. Yuzhui thoughtfully set up a bench in the courtyard and brewed some fragrant tea.
Xie Wanyun leaned lazily on the chair. The sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting mottled shadows on her body, like stars, twinkling.
She bent her right leg slightly, resting the book on it. Squinting her eyes, she turned the pages, her gaze calm. A gentle breeze blew a few petals off her body, onto the pages. Her eyebrows raised slightly, a smile blossomed on her lips, and she gently brushed the petals away.
She looked up. The sky was blue, the clouds were white, and the sun was warm. Not far away, she could hear the laughter of children.
This world is still beautiful.
Jin Bai ran over quietly. This child was very thoughtful and had heard the sound of Xie Wanyun's carriage returning a long time ago, but when she saw that she didn't come over, she couldn't help but secretly run to Yunqi Pavilion.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw this scene: Aunt Xie was basking in the sun! Jin Bai happily shouted, "Aunt Xie!" and ran over.
"Jinbai, you're here?" Xie Wanyun's smile deepened. She was just thinking about how happy it would be if her child was found, mother and child basking in the sun and talking together, when the next second she saw Jinbai running towards her.
She was in a trance for a moment, unable to distinguish between the image and reality. She only felt that it was her own child running towards her, and she couldn't help but open her arms and hug the child.
Jinbai threw herself into her arms, raised her snow-white little face, and smiled so hard that her teeth were showing.
"Thank you, Auntie! You're so warm and smell so good!"
Xie Wanyun's mind had regained some clarity. The child's warmth brought her so much comfort that she still clung to Jin Bai tightly, unwilling to let go. Even if it was just a dream, she should wait a while before waking up.
Jin Bai was also excited. Although Aunt Xie doted on him and loved him, it was rare for her to hold him tightly like this. He was still a child after all, and impulsively, he simply kissed Xie Wanyun on the face, then put his two little arms around her neck and shouted, "Aunt Xie, I love you so much! Can I call you mother?"
