It seemed as if she didn't even dare to cry so freely now.
Chaoge let her go, took her hand, and walked towards the carriage not far away.
Leng Furong was as quiet as an obedient child. She looked at Chaoge's profile in disbelief. Until now, she still felt like she was dreaming.
Even after getting on the carriage, Leng Furong's eyes never left Chaoge's face.
"You, you are really a little pigeon?"
Looking at Leng Furong with tears in her eyes and the long scar on her fair face, Chaoge felt a pain in his heart.
If she had been softer-hearted at the beginning, or if she had not met Leng Qianrou in that inn, would the three siblings have not experienced those unbearable past events?
Chaoge reached out and tidied up the loose hair on Leng Furong's forehead, then curled his lips and nodded: "Well, I'm Little Pigeon.
Be good, cry if you want to. I am here for you and no one can bully you anymore.
No one will abandon you anymore.”
Chaoge stretched out his arms and gently embraced Leng Furong in his arms.
Finally, the little girl who thought she had transformed into a strong girl, burst into tears in Chaoge's arms!
There was despair and helplessness in that cry, and it was full of the grievances she had endured in the past few months.
Xue Fei was sitting outside the carriage, pulling the reins and wiping his eyes that were blurred by tears, but the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.
Anyway, everyone was finally reunited.
All the suffering should be over, right?
"Sister, is your face okay?"
After crying for a while, Leng Furong wiped the tears from her face herself.
With her clear eyes, she kept staring at Chaoge's fair face, with a hint of joy in her eyes.
“Well, it took more than half a year to repair it.
Don’t worry about your face. I will find a way to repair it for you in the future.
By the way, we will be able to see Lie Cheng and Xiao Ran soon. They were brought to the capital by Aunt Li and Xue Fei.
Your eldest sister asked Aunt Li to bring them to the capital to look for you. If I hadn't met Aunt Li, I wouldn't have been able to find you so quickly."
Chaoge thought that Leng Furong would be happy to hear this.
Unexpectedly, Madam Leng just smiled faintly: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if it can't be restored.
My elder sister was so open about her appearance back then, and now I understand that nothing is more important than being alive and seeing the person you love again.
I will be a good sister and take good care of Xiaoran in the future.
Xiaoran is still so young, and I can’t be like before, without any opinions when things happen.
If it weren’t for Aunt Li, if something happened to me, who knows what would happen to Xiaoran?
Perhaps, he would end up like them, either being sent away or becoming a servant in the hands of human traffickers and being resold.
I just don’t know how my sister is doing now, and I don’t know if Liecheng’s leg has recovered.”
Listening to Leng Furong's words and seeing her much more mature and steady tone, Chaoge smiled with relief.
"No matter what, let the past be the past. Life is only a few short decades, so we should cherish the time that comes.
I will take time to check on your sister. I am here to take care of Lie Cheng's leg. I will help him recover."
“Thank you, this time again you pulled the three of us out of the fire pit.
This is how my life will be, and I may not be able to repay you in the future.
I will take good care of my two younger brothers, and I hope they can do something for you when they grow up."
Looking at the smile and a hint of bitterness in Leng Furong's eyes, Chaoge felt a pain in his heart.
"Silly boy, I've always said that I'm your big sister for life, so what?
You don't want to recognize me now?"
Leng Furong lowered her eyes and chuckled, "I used to think that having a big sister like you was great, but now, we are a burden and a drag.
I don’t dare call you big sister anymore, because it will only make you bear more responsibilities.
If you don't mind, let me be your maid."
The more he listened, the more uncomfortable Chaoge felt.
Back then, even though Leng Furong was just a concubine's daughter, she was still a favored young lady from an official family.
And she was just a maid beside Leng Furong.
Even when she was in exile, Leng Furong was very dependent on her. Because of her growing environment, even when facing famine and their escape, Leng Furong had never been able to act alone when she was around.
Now, after more than a year of ups and downs, she has grown a lot.
But even when facing the person she once relied on the most, she no longer dared to rely on him too much.
Maybe she realized that she couldn't even rely on her own sister and would even bring trouble to her own sister, so she wanted to keep her distance from me?
In fact, letting Leng Furong grow up is not a bad thing.
"Furong, don't treat some things as bad experiences. Good or bad, we should regard them as the journey of growth.
Don’t talk about being a maid. If you don’t want to live with me, I will buy you a yard and find a way to make a living.
In the future, you can change your identities and continue to live a good life.
Liecheng is thirteen years old now. He will grow up in a few years. Then your family will have a man to take over the head of the family, and everything will be easy."
“In this case, it still troubles you.
But I won't be pretentious. I've caused you a lot of trouble anyway.
Then I'll trouble you."
"You really don't want to call me Big Sister?"
Looking at the faint smile on Leng Furong's face, Chaoge raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Leng Furong heard this and looked at Chaoge, with a little more light in her eyes: "Sister, this sister has always been in my heart.
How could I not want to?
I just think that it's time for me to grow up.
When you came to the Leng Mansion, you were only eleven or twelve years old. When you took us away, you were only one or two years older than I am now.
Big sister, from now on please teach me how to live and how to survive.
I don’t have any other ideals or ambitions. I just want to bring up my two younger brothers and let them live a stable life.”
Chaoge reached out her hand and gently patted the back of Leng Furong's hand: "Okay, as long as you are willing, I will teach you."
When he returned to the Yun Mansion, Yunchang had already changed into the new clothes that Chaoge had prepared for him and was looking forward to it.
Hearing the sound of the carriage, he opened the door impatiently and hurried out to greet it.
"Oh, you're finally back.
The time agreed with Mr. Shen is almost here, shall we go there now? "
After he finished speaking, Yunchang looked at the little girl being held by Chaoge.
When looking at the wound on Leng Furong's face, Yun Chang's expression changed anxiously, just like when he saw Chaoge who had just returned to Yunjia Village.
"this......"
“Dad, this is Liecheng and Xiaoran’s second sister, her name is Furong.
From now on, just call her Afu."
"Hello, Uncle Yun. I may have to bother you for a few days."
