"You can stay home and do embroidery, it's not like you can't go out. You can go check on things every day or every few days. You can keep an eye on the important matters at the farm, and leave the minor ones to them. Isn't that fine?"
Han Luoxue said with a grin.
“You’re right. Let’s ask around and see if any embroiderers are willing to come.”
Fortunately, there was Dr. Xu in the family, so she didn't have to stay home to take care of the children, and Han Mengze hardly needed his parents to take care of him.
That kid is quite clever. I heard that when Han Luoyu was learning to recognize herbs, Mengze was watching from the sidelines.
Such a small thing, doesn't it seem boring? But the child is still young, so it's not clear yet. Doctor Xu's intention is that if he's still interested when he's older, he can learn it.
Han Mingyuan was quite open-minded about this.
"As long as the child likes it, it doesn't matter what they learn!"
Han Luoxue was quite surprised; her father's ideas were quite ahead of their time.
"Sometimes I wonder what I was like before?" After what just happened, Yunniang no longer resists her past self.
"Is she a well-bred young lady? Or is she just as mischievous as you were when you were little?"
"Xue'er, I have very mixed feelings right now. I don't know how I got lost, but my gut feeling is that someone is trying to harm me. But I don't know how to deal with the person who harmed me?"
"You must hate her, right? But if it weren't for her, I wouldn't have met your father, and you wouldn't exist."
Han Luoxue understood Yunniang's feelings very well; her father was truly good to her mother.
"You should still hate her. She hurt you back then, she definitely didn't have good intentions."
After hearing so many stories about the Chi family, Han Luoxue already had the answer in her heart.
There is no evidence yet, but she thinks it's pretty close to the truth.
The old man and woman of the Chi family are not stupid, but it is unknown how they will handle the situation after they return.
...
When Grandpa Chi returned to the inn, he heard that Chi Ling'er was looking for them.
Madam Chi's expression changed, her face showing obvious anger.
Her fists clenched tightly, but Old Master Chi held her hand and said in a low voice, "Go and ask first, don't act rashly!"
"I... you said she knew everything, so why didn't she tell us?"
"She knew perfectly well that I had almost gone mad from searching for Qiao'er all these years."
"Waaah, I'm so worried, do you think it might be..."
Her Qiao'er has been missing for nineteen years. How old was Chi Ling'er nineteen years ago? Old Madam Chi couldn't believe that her eldest daughter at that time would have such a deep mind.
"Alright, don't overthink it. Once you're inside, don't say anything. Let me test you."
Madam Chi took a deep breath; there were some things she couldn't bear to leave unasked.
"Please don't act impulsively."
Grandpa Chi was still worried and gave her the instructions again.
In the past, Grandma Chi was very calm and composed, and she never got anxious no matter what happened.
However, after her daughter went missing, she became increasingly anxious, and her temper changed.
After Madam Chi's complexion had improved considerably, Grandpa Chi took her to Chi Ling'er's room.
"Father, Mother, why haven't you left yet?"
Chi Ling'er looked at the two old people with suspicion. Yesterday she had told them to leave first, and that she would handle things here. But the two of them left early this morning, not to return to the capital.
“Ling’er, I still feel that we did something wrong, so today your mother and I went to talk to Han Luoxue.”
"You went to see her again?" Chi Ling'er asked excitedly, her voice rising several notches.
"Ling'er, what's wrong with you? We went to find Han Luoxue because of Qingqing."
Madam Chi asked with a puzzled look. Looking at his wife's calm expression, Old Master Chi sighed inwardly, "This is the wife I know."
“Mother, none of Han Luoxue’s family members are reasonable. I’m just worried that she might upset you and Father. Have you seen her? Have you seen her parents?”
Seeing her daughter's nervous expression, Old Mrs. Chi's heart sank.
"No, we went to Hutouya Village. Han Luoxue's parents were both out, so she was home alone!"
"It's strange, but I feel like I've seen Han Luoxue before. Don't you think I've met her before?"
When Chi Ling'er heard Old Mrs. Chi say that she saw someone familiar, her heart skipped a beat. These two old women had seen Han Luoxue before, so why did she suddenly feel that she was familiar? Could it be that they had already seen that wretched woman?
"Mother, who does she look like? I've seen her once before, but I don't think she looks familiar!"
Chi Ling'er dared not admit it, and looked at the two old people with a puzzled expression.
"Maybe I remembered it wrong."
"Did she agree to a settlement?"
"No, their attitude remains firm. Ling'er, isn't Qingqing quite familiar with the Crown Princess? Why don't we ask the Crown Princess for help?"
"Old Master Chi asked tentatively."
"My daughter will contact the Crown Princess."
Chi Ling'er spoke with great uncertainty. She was not familiar with the Crown Princess at all, and it was questionable whether the Crown Princess even remembered her.
As for what Qingqing said, it was to avenge the Crown Princess. But they had no evidence. The Crown Princess could easily say, "I didn't tell you to do that!"
That Mengyao is absolutely not someone to be associated with. She used to think that her daughter's ability to get involved with Mengyao was a testament to her daughter's skill, but now it all seems like a joke.
"Is Han Luoxue's mother really that unreasonable?"
Hearing this, Chi Ling'er turned her head and asked, puzzled, "You saw her?"
"No, I just heard from people in their village that Han Luoxue's family is very nice."
"Heh, she's just using food to bribe those people. If there's no food, who cares about them?"
Chi Ling'er sneered, and Old Madam Chi sighed, "It takes skill to get food at a time like this."
"She's just a country girl, a pig farmer, what skills could she possibly have? If she marries a peasant, that'll be her life forever."
"Father, Mother, you should go back quickly. There's no one in that family who's reasonable, and they like to beat people. I'm young, so it's nothing if I get hit a couple of times, but you're both so old. If they hit you, it will break my heart."
Listen to what their daughter is saying; everything she says is for their benefit. But the two elderly people are filled with mixed emotions.
They can't even lie to themselves now; Ling'er has indeed met Qiao'er, but she's not going to tell them.
Why?
"Mother, when are you going back?"
“Ling’er, when I went to the village today, I think I saw a woman getting into a carriage. I think that woman looks a bit like your sister.”
When Madam Chi asked this question, her eyes were fixed on Chi Ling'er.
Her expression was extremely unnatural, and she even showed signs of nervousness.
“Mother, you must be mistaken. How could there be a sister here? Besides, my sister has been missing for so many years. This place isn’t far from the capital. If it really is my sister, she would definitely come looking for us.”
