Chapter 206 Seventeen Years of Pain, Mother and Daughter Reunited
Jiang Jing's eyes grew deep, and he bowed, saying, "Then the Marquis will have to go and ask her in person."
Lord Li chuckled a few times. He was deeply attracted by the contents of the book. After reading for a while, his shoulders were sore, but Jiang Jing still sat upright.
He sighed, "I can't compare to you young people. How are Jiusu's parents?"
Jiang Jing said: "They are all dead."
"Oh, that's quite pitiful." Lord Li nodded, and couldn't help blaming himself in his heart. He thought of his daughter just because of the similar appearance.
However, the man's next words made the Marquis' heart unable to calm down for a long time.
Jiang Jing was tidying up the desk and said calmly.
"Asu's adoptive parents weren't very kind to her, but it's normal to be sad."
clang!
The book in his hand fell to the ground. Jiang Jing picked it up and felt a little sad that the corner of the book was damaged. However, it was worth it to exchange the corner of the book for the Marquis's distressed and unbelievable look.
The Marquis looked as if he was unaware of the situation.
Then there would be no plot of bringing the concubine's daughter back home and adopting her as an adopted daughter.
Hearing this, Lord Li held the handle and slowly sat down, as if he had lost his mind.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to damage your book... Young Master Jiang, do you think Jiusu looks like my wife?"
Jiang Jing nodded and asked tentatively, "Yes, I heard that Madam's child was lost. Can you find out who did it?"
Lord Li recalled the scene of that year. He couldn't sleep well day and night. He and his wife had been in love for many years and finally had a child, but he lost the child. He shook his head.
"I have been investigating for years, even asking Lord Yang for help, but I still can't find any clues."
"Then this person must be very thoughtful." Jiang Jing said.
Lord Li agreed, "Yes, I thought it was someone in the mansion who did it, but after years of investigation, the whole family was in turmoil. I listened to my mother and stopped the investigation, and the situation finally calmed down. However, my wife was so sad and worried during the postpartum period that she suffered from damage to her health and has never recovered since then..."
——
There were only two people in the room.
The woman leaned back on the bed, shook her head, and smiled bitterly, "I've been devastated for years, and I'm afraid I won't be able to recover."
Mother Jiang held her hand, looked at the shadow that followed closely outside the door, and shook her head. Isn't this adopted daughter a little too "good" to Yi Hui?
She whispered, "I have a good recipe."
Yi Hui asked, "Tell me about it."
Mother Jiang was a little nervous. She discussed with her son and decided to test the Marquis and the Madam separately. She coughed lightly and said, "Yi Hui, this medicine is very strong. You must stay calm, otherwise I won't tell you."
Yi Hui nodded, a helpless smile appearing on his pale face.
When she was young, she was melancholic. Nuanmei was optimistic, and her friends always tried to cheer her up, saying, "I will definitely not get excited or have a seizure."
Jiang's mother was still worried, so she picked up the ginseng soup on the table and prepared it.
She leaned closer and said, "I think I found your missing daughter."
"Yuyu!" Yi Hui stood up excitedly, as if she had choked. She clutched her chest and coughed violently. "Who!?"
Seeing Jiang's wrist redden from being grabbed, Mother Jiang hurriedly said, "Didn't you agree not to get excited? Don't worry, it's fine. It just needs confirmation."
Squeak—
The door opened, and the back of the figure obscured Li Yulan's expression. She asked calmly, "Mother, you called me?"
This time when he called her, the tone was different.
But sometimes her mother would call her Yuyu, the missing sister, in her dreams, and she would answer. Sometimes she could no longer tell whether she was Yuyu or Yuyu.
All the same.
As long as it can make my mother feel better.
Yi Hui's mouth trembled, tears streamed down his eyes, and he choked out, "I..."
Jiang's mother laughed and said, "I was just joking with your mother. I didn't expect you to cry. Could you please heat up the ginseng soup?"
Is that so? Li Yulan thought so in her heart, but she couldn't say it.
She bowed and said, "Aunt, this is what I should do."
She took the bowl away and looked back at her mother who was immersed in grief. Her mother only had such an expression when she was thinking about her sister. Is her aunt kidding?
As she walked out, she shook her head and smiled.
Obviously not.
The door closed and the light dimmed.
Jiang's mother said, "Your adopted daughter is very filial."
Maybe it was because he saw that his friend was still immersed in grief.
"If you cry again, I won't tell you."
Unexpectedly, Yi Hui cried even harder. Really worried that she wouldn't tell him, he said cautiously, "I won't cry anymore, Nuanmei, just tell me, I've been looking for her for seventeen years! I've been thinking about her for seventeen years!"
Jiang's mother stroked her back.
"The man you saw this morning."
"Jiusu?" Yi Hui thought of it instantly.
Mother Jiang nodded and said, "We have known each other since childhood. I know your character and you would not abandon a child. But how did the child appear in Chenjia Village in Lingcheng? It is obvious that someone did it on purpose."
Yi Hui nodded, having figured it out over the years.
Thinking of her daughter, she was filled with strength.
"Of course someone stole the child. Otherwise, how could Yuyu come to Lingcheng on her own when she was only one month old? But I couldn't catch the culprit, nor could I find the child. I am such a loser."
"Okay, your body shouldn't let your imagination run wild." Jiang's mother interrupted her crying in time, "I'm not trying to sow discord. Have you ever thought that it was the Marquis..."
Yi Hui said angrily, "Of course I thought about it. At that time, I suspected everyone except myself. But after seeing what the Marquis has done over the years, I believe it wasn't him. Of course, I will ask clearly. No matter who took my daughter away, I will never forgive them! Nuanmei, do you understand me?"
Mother Jiang held her hand and said with red eyes.
“I understand, although I can’t empathize with you, it’s painful to think about it.
If anyone takes Nian Yin away from me, I will feel so miserable.
Just thinking about it made her heart ache, but what about her best friend? She was in confinement, her body still not fully recovered, and she was suffering from the pain of losing her daughter, and she broke off her friendship with Yi Hui.
How does one person survive?
Yi Hui got out of bed, put on his shoes, and said, "I'm going to look for Yuyu."
Jiang's mother hurriedly grabbed her. Listening to the footsteps getting closer, she shook her head and said, "If you recognize Susu now, will she be safe?"
Yi Hui looked up, calmed down a lot, and tucked his hair behind his ears.
"I see."
The door was pushed open, and Li Yulan brought the ginseng soup with a smile, saying, "Mother, your daughter will feed you."
Yi Hui was in no mood to drink ginseng soup. Her mind was full of her daughter's appearance. She said, "Put it on the table first. I'll drink it later."
Jinxiu called Jiusu over.
Jiusu said, "This is a freshly baked flower cake. Aunt, Madam, and Miss Li can have a taste."
Li Yulan stood in front of Yi Hui and chuckled.
"Mother still wants to drink ginseng soup, so I'm afraid she won't eat this fragrant pastry for now. Aunt Jiang will eat it first." She took the plate and brought it to Zhou Nuanmei.
Jiang's mother picked up some and ate several pieces with great appetite.
She said, "The girl next to Susu is a good cook."
Yi Hui gently pushed Li Yulan away, looked at Jiusu, reached out for the cake, and said softly, "It's okay to drink the ginseng soup later. It's better to eat a piece of cake first to fill your stomach."
