Lia looked at Xu Nian with a gentle expression and a faint smile.
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it."
Xu Nian quickly waved her hand, "I just happened to come and visit you today."
Hearing this, Leah's smile deepened, and she nodded kindly at her, "I had heard Nilu mention your name before, and seeing you today, you are indeed truly awe-inspiring."
She patted her forehead, then exclaimed with a hint of regret, "Look at my memory! Let's go inside and talk, instead of standing at the door."
Lia covered her mouth slightly and walked in, followed closely by Xu Nian and Nilu.
“Your mother seems to be doing well,” Xu Nian said in a low voice.
She had thought that Leah would be devastated after losing her lover and receiving such devastating news.
However, seeing her like this today, Xu Nian realized that her previous worries were unfounded.
Nilu also seemed a little puzzled. "When I came to see my mother not long ago, she looked very melancholy. I don't know why she's like this today. Maybe it's because you're here."
Hearing this, Xu Nian felt it made sense, so she simply stopped thinking about it and sat down.
"What's the real reason you've come to see me today?"
Lia poured Xu Nian and Nilu each a steaming cup of tea and asked with a puzzled look.
Upon hearing this, Nilu glanced at Xu Nian, gritted her teeth, and said, "Mother, the wedding banquet is scheduled for tomorrow night, you..."
"Oh, I already know that."
Leah smiled, showing no sign of displeasure. Instead, she patiently said, "Don't worry, I'm perfectly fine. On the contrary, I'll cooperate fully."
Upon hearing this, Nel's eyes immediately welled up with tears. She murmured something and then threw herself into Leah's arms.
"Mother!"
Nilu nestled into Lia's arms like a baby, letting out soft, whimpering cries.
"It's all my fault. If I had discovered his schemes in time... Mother, you wouldn't have..."
She spoke in a choked voice, while Leah cupped Nel's face in her hands with a smile.
"Your mother has never blamed you; on the contrary, I am proud of you."
Lia gently stroked Nel's back, her voice long and drawn out, as if reminiscing, "From childhood to adulthood, you've always been incredibly clever, learning everything in no time. Your father said that our little Nel is the best."
She quietly calmed Nilu down, then glanced at Xu Nian apologetically, "I'm sorry."
"It's nothing." Xu Nian quickly waved her hand, feeling slightly touched.
[Waaaaah, is this what motherly love is? It's so amazing!]
If I were Lydia, I would have collapsed long ago, and wouldn't even have the strength to comfort Nel.
[Yes, this mother is really amazing; she's busy taking care of her child's emotions even at a time like this.]
Viewers in the live chat were also deeply moved by Leah's selfless maternal love.
After she had finished crying, Nilu suddenly stood up, her eyes filled with determination. "Mother, don't worry, we already have a corresponding strategy. I will absolutely not hand you over to that scumbag!"
Hearing this, Lia seemed a little surprised, and then she patted Nel's head.
"It's alright. No matter what the final outcome is, your mother will always be on your side."
The mother and daughter chatted intimately for a while before Nilu reluctantly took Xu Nian out the door.
"I'm sorry, you must have seen this funny."
Nilu lowered her head shyly, apologizing for her behavior.
"It's nothing, it's just human nature." Xu Nian didn't think much of it and smiled to indicate that she didn't care.
If she were in the same situation as Lia, who was so kind and gentle, she would probably cry even more than Nel.
Suddenly, Xu Nian thought of her master and fellow disciples, and her pace slowed down.
Noticing the subtle change in Xu Nian's mood, Nilu stopped talking and patiently looked at her.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Nilu's concern brought Xu Nian back to her senses. She waved her hand, a smile playing on her lips.
"fine."
Her master and fellow disciples must still be waiting for her to return.
Soon, the wedding banquet night arrived.
Xu Nian followed Nilu to her seat and saw many familiar faces along the way.
Da Bao and Er Bao clamored to come, but Xu Nian thought that a conflict might occur later, so she persuaded them to stay.
"Time's up!"
The tribesmen raised their heads high and shouted their words.
As these words fell, a rather thin figure slowly walked over from not far away.
"Welcome everyone to my wedding banquet with Leah!"
Beller, dressed in heavy clothes and with a flushed face, roared and shouted wildly.
The people around cheered and offered their gifts in a flattering manner.
"Chief, these are spices that I specially sent from the Western Regions. You will definitely like them!"
The Third Elder, with a wicked grin on his face, handed over the small box, rubbing his hands together as if he were eager to get started.
Baylor looked at it in confusion for a while, then smelled the strong aroma of the spices, and suddenly burst into laughter.
"You're so thoughtful! I'll definitely make good use of it on my wedding night!"
Beller and the Third Elder laughed wildly, while Nel had already clenched her fists tightly.
She almost couldn't resist rushing up and slapping Baylor.
Fortunately, Xu Nian stopped her in time.
"Wait a little longer."
Xu Nian narrowed her eyes, her gaze towards Baylor filled with gloom.
In any case, Baylor must die.
But not now; we must wait until he lowers his guard.
"The Queen has arrived!"
As a loud announcement came from outside the door, a woman dressed in bright colors and with a beautiful figure slowly walked in.
With a red veil covering her head, she moved lightly and gracefully into everyone's view.
"Mother..."
Nilu's heart clenched, clearly filled with worry.
Upon seeing this, Xu Nian immediately dispersed his mind and released a protective talisman around Lia.
After finishing everything, Xu Nian whispered, "Don't worry, I've placed a protective talisman on your mother. No one can hurt her."
Upon hearing this, Nilu breathed a sigh of relief and continued to watch all the actions in front of her with bated breath.
Baylor stared at Leah with greedy eyes, a lewd smile on his lips. "My lady is truly a beauty that could topple kingdoms!"
Leah, beneath the veil, revealed a slightly mocking smile, but her words remained gentle, "You haven't seen it yet, so how can you say she's stunningly beautiful?"
At this moment, Baylor was in a great mood and naturally didn't care about anything, laughing unrestrainedly.
"Who in my clan does not know of Leah's beauty? There is no need for me to see her!"
The clansman in charge of the ceremony immediately shouted, "The auspicious time has arrived, escort them to the bridal chamber!"
"Wait a moment!"
However, Baylor quickly raised his hand, signaling the ceremony to stop.
Those around him were immediately confused and stared blankly at Baylor.
He strode up to Leah, his tone leaving no room for doubt.
"Before that, show me the treasures you possess!"
