"I only know a little bit."
Seeing that Yuan Tianwei was fine, Ye Xin sat on a stool and asked them seriously, "What on earth is going on? Why was Weiwei captured by those people?"
Li Shuyao's eyes were red, and she tugged at her dress with a look of self-blame on her face. "Sister Xin, this is all my fault. If I hadn't agreed to go out to see the lantern festival, this wouldn't have happened to Weiwei..."
"Sister Yao, it was clearly my suggestion to go to the Lantern Festival. How can you take the responsibility on yourself?"
Yuan Tianwei interrupted Li Shuyao, sat next to her and held her hand, "Sister Yao, it's my bad luck, what does this have to do with you?"
Listening to Yuan Tianwei's comfort, Li Shuyao's guilt could no longer be suppressed. She choked with sobs, tears dripping onto the back of her hand, "Weiwei..."
Yuan Tianwei hugged her, patted her back and said nothing.
After a long time, when both of them finally calmed down, Yuan Tianwei wiped away her tears and told them what had happened.
"That day..."
————————————
"Weiwei, are you okay?"
Seeing that it was getting late, Li Shuyao urged Yuan Tianwei, who was still busy in the room.
Today is the day of the Lantern Festival, and after lunch they started dressing up in their room.
Because she was going to attend the grand lantern festival, Li Shuyao wore a brand new dress, which was rare for her, with a pearl butterfly hairpin in her hair, and even a little powder on her face.
She sat on the stool with excitement on her face, her eyes full of longing for the Lantern Festival.
Such a charming girl is completely different from the skinny girl from the Li family a few days ago.
"Alright, alright."
Yuan Tianwei hurriedly inserted a similar butterfly hairpin into her hair, and finally applied a little lip balm before walking in front of Li Shuyao.
"Sister Yao, I'm ready, let's go!"
"Um."
Li Shuyao grabbed Yuan Tianwei's hand, and at the instruction of Zhao Yuru and Yan Qingyun, the two of them went out together wearing veils.
Yan Qingyun and Zhao Yuru originally wanted to accompany them to the Lantern Festival, but unfortunately, there were too many things in the house that Yan Qingyun bought that needed to be renovated, so they really couldn't leave and had to stay at home.
As for Yuan Heyu, the clinic has had more patients recently and he is also unable to leave.
Although the two sisters were very nervous because they were not accompanied by an adult, fortunately the place where they watched the lantern festival was very close to the clinic and there were no alleys there, so Yan Qingyun and the others felt at ease to let them go.
The lantern festival doesn't start until the evening, but many women, like Yuan Tianwei and the others, have already gone out in the afternoon.
For most women, this was one of the few days of the year when they could go out and have fun. They would go out in groups of two or three, accompanied by their brothers or parents. Few would go out alone like Yuan Tianwei and her friends.
Because they are not like Yuan Tianwei who can go out often, and many of them cannot even see the Lantern Festival. Most of them are locked up at home by their families, and once the time is right, they will be married off by their elders.
This lantern festival is only seen once a year, and some of them may never see such a scene in their entire lives.
