In the end, Zhou Jie could only say this: she had nothing but admiration for her.
"Chi Ling'er absconded with most of the family's assets, even taking things from the shops, and then disappeared. She even abandoned her daughter!"
"Their son and granddaughter stole everything else, even the deed to the old house, and sold it. Old Madam Chi, they are truly in a terrible situation!"
In all her years, Zhou Jie had never heard of such unreliable children. None of Old Madam Chi's children were good, except for Yunniang.
"Yes, the two old people aren't doing very well either. Old Madam Chi's health seems a bit precarious. When I saw her that day, I noticed she was coughing terribly. I gave them some silver then, but I don't know if it will save her!"
"I haven't seen them for the past few days."
"Little Xue, will you make a move?"
Han Luoxue shook her head: "I won't get involved in this matter. Let's listen to my mother. If she wants to get involved, I have no problem with it, otherwise..."
However, Chi Ling'er actually ran away with the money, and no one knows where she went. Han Luoxue, however, has no intention of letting her go.
Last time, they spared her because of the two elderly people. Now that she has vanished without a trace, let her disappear forever.
Han Luoxue lowered her head, concealing the sinister glint in her eyes.
"Sister Xue'er, are you really not going to abandon them?" Zhou Jie still felt a little reluctant. It wasn't that she was being overly kind, but she was just thinking about how the two elders had prepared a generous dowry for Han Luoxue in the past.
Whether or not Xue'er needs it, it's still a small token of their appreciation.
"After all, they are my mother's relatives. It depends on her wishes. If she wants to intervene, I will definitely do so! But Chi Ling'er..."
Han Luoxue paused, then didn't continue. Zhou Jie said angrily, "If we find her, I won't let her get away with it!"
"Well, actually we don't need to lay a hand on her. Let her suffer the same way she treated my mother back then."
Did she think that taking the money and hiding it would solve everything? This Chi Ling'er is really a little naive.
"Sister Xue'er, do you need me to help you find someone?"
The Zhou family still has spies around. No matter where Chi Ling'er goes, she still needs to eat and dress, right? As long as she shows her face, she might be discovered.
"Need not!"
She doesn't plan to use the Zhou family's connections for this matter.
"So you mean..."
Zhou Jie was puzzled. Did Han Luoxue want Ouyang Zhen to help her find someone? If it was the Emperor's help, it would definitely be faster.
"This is ultimately my mother's business, and I still want my father and mother to take action themselves. It's better to take revenge themselves!"
Zhou Jie's eyes lit up. If it were her, she would also want to personally kill her enemy.
"Okay, but if you need anything, just let me know!"
Du Linlang didn't say much. Sister Zhen silently lit a cigarette for Chi Ling'er. This woman was really pitiful. She had been arrogant for most of her life. Did she think that running away with the money would solve everything? But she didn't expect that Han Luoxue was not someone to be bullied.
But little did she know who she had offended.
This is the eldest daughter of the Zhou family. With the Zhou family's capabilities, finding someone shouldn't be too difficult, right? Sister Zhen believes that no matter where Chi Ling'er runs, she can be found.
Alas, her end will surely be tragic! But this woman is truly ruthless. She and Qiao'er were sisters, and for a little bit of family property, just because Old Madam Chi valued Qiao'er more and because Qiao'er was more talented... at such a young age, she actually sold her own sister.
And when she got home, she put on a pitiful act. She's such a scheming woman; how come she never noticed how hypocritical Chi Ling'er was before?
It's not too late to know now. Sister Zhen is now looking forward to the day Chi Ling'er is caught.
A cold smile curled at the corner of her lips, and a hint of amusement appeared on her face:
"Xue girl, when you find Chi Ling'er later, before you deal with her, could you let me see her once?"
The two of them had always been adversaries, and she was eager to see this woman in a sorry state, especially after she learned that she was about to be sold.
Chi Ling'er's expression at that time must have been quite something!
Han Luoxue glanced at Sister Zhen and already knew her intentions. These two had been adversaries for half their lives, and it was only natural for Sister Zhen to want to see Chi Ling'er's miserable state.
"I'm fine with it on my end, as long as you're free! I'm sure my mother won't object!"
Although Yunniang didn't say much, Han Luoxue knew that in her mother's heart, she still hated her older sister, Chi Ling'er.
If she hadn't sold her mother to human traffickers, her mother wouldn't have escaped to the mountains, wouldn't have met her father, and there wouldn't be her sisters. Perhaps everything is preordained.
Knowing that her mother was in a bad mood, Han Luoxue still went to the Silk Embroidery Pavilion.
When they arrived, Yunniang was still embroidering. She was head down, focused, but her hands moved with practiced skill as she gazed at the exquisite embroidery on the frame. Han Luoxue marveled at her mother's talent; even if she practiced for ten or eight years, she might not reach this level. Besides, she herself couldn't sit still for long. Embroidery was a craft that truly cultivated patience and perseverance.
Hearing that someone was coming, Yunniang looked up and saw Han Luoxue and the others. Her eyes were filled with undisguised emotion: "Xue girl, what brings you here?" Yunniang asked softly.
"I just missed you, Mother. Are you alright?"
Upon hearing this, Auntie knew that it must have been Sister Zhen who told Han Luoxue.
She glared at Zhenjie with a strange look, and Zhenjie shrank back. Han Luoxue explained, "Mother, Zhenjie is just worried about you, so don't blame her!"
Yunniang sighed. Of course she knew that Sister Zhen meant well, but this was just a family matter, and she didn't want her whole family to worry about her.
"Mother, are you still going to interfere in their affairs?"
Han Luoxue couldn't help but ask.
"Logically, I shouldn't care, but they gave you so much dowry back then. Xue'er, you may not know, but they used to be quite good to me!"
She still remembers when she was little, Madam Chi personally taught her embroidery, stitch by stitch, very seriously and wholeheartedly.
She was still young at the time and couldn't sit still. The things she embroidered were very ugly. It was Madam Chi who patiently guided her step by step.
Of course, there was also my older sister; they were living a wonderful life back then. No one could have imagined it would turn out like this.
Now, both elderly people are getting on in years. Life is difficult, and they even lack the money to see a doctor when they fall ill. How could Yunniang possibly abandon them?
