Chapter 175 Life Story 1
Jiang Yueyao looked at Sulan.
"I remember that before my mother died, she left me a small piece of clothing. When I first came to the capital, I think you kept it."
After being reminded by her, Sulan also remembered.
"Yes, yes, yes."
She hurriedly got up and went to her room.
When he came back, he was holding a small bag in his hand.
She placed the bundle on the table and opened it, revealing all its contents.
Shen Baoqing hurried over, looked at the things inside, and exclaimed.
"What are these?"
Jiang Yueyao also stood up.
Sulan spread out all the bags, picked up the rattle on the top, and suddenly her eyes became red.
"These little gadgets were bought by the young lady for the young lady."
"And this pair of little shoes, the young lady also made them for her herself. Look at the stitches, they're so crooked. It was her first time sewing. Normally, if a button fell off her clothes, I would sew it for her."
"This tiger hat was made by the young lady herself for the girl's sixth birthday. She bought the gem on it with ten taels of silver."
"The young lady has always been frugal. She usually doesn't want to buy herself a decent piece of jewelry, but she is always willing to spend money on girls."
"Whatever other children have, her Yaoyao must have too."
"The young lady has never been married and has never had children. She treats you like her own daughter."
"She told me more than once that God probably took pity on her because she was alone and helpless, so he sent the girl to her."
Jiang Yueyao, who was standing beside her, had already burst into tears.
Shen Baoqing's eyes also turned red.
Sulan wiped her tears and took out the small piece of clothing that was pressed underneath.
She unfolded the clothes and handed them to Shen Baoqing: "When the young lady picked up the girl and brought her home, she was wearing this dress. It was already tattered at the time and I was planning to throw it away, but my young lady said that I had to keep it. This is the only thing the girl has, and maybe it can help her find her family in the future."
"I sewed these patches. These are the original fabrics of the clothes. Even though the fabric has faded over the past decade, you can still tell that it is very valuable."
Shen Baoqing was overjoyed.
She put the clothes away carefully.
"Thank you, Sister Lan. I'll take it home and let my parents take a look. If it's not good, I'll return it."
"good."
Seeing that Jiang Yueyao was still crying, Sulan hurried over and hugged her in her arms.
"Don't cry. If you can find your family, the young lady will be happy for you."
Jiang Yueyao buried her face in her arms.
Choking with sobs, he said, "I miss my mother."
Sulan didn't say a word, her eyes also red, and she hugged the person tighter.
Shen Baoqing is going back.
Seeing Jiang Yueyao holding Sulan reluctantly, she said, "How about you stay here tonight and I'll pick you up tomorrow?"
Jiang Yueyao nodded.
She hasn't been back for a long time.
It would have been fine if she didn't mention her mother today. As soon as she mentioned her mother, she became very depressed.
After sending Shen Baoqing away, she hugged Sulan and started to act coquettishly.
"I'll sleep with you tonight."
Su Lan touched her little face, looking helpless: "How old are you? You still think you are a little baby."
"Oh no matter what, I'm going to sleep with you."

Shen Baoqing took the small dress back to the Grand Tutor's Mansion.
Although General Shen's family had not been occupied for a long time, they had always kept an old servant to look after the courtyard. Upon receiving the news that the general had returned to the capital, the servants in the house began to clean up. However, because Bai Jinyu missed her parents too much, the group returned to the Grand Tutor's Mansion first.
I originally planned to stay at the Grand Tutor's Mansion for one night and then return to the General's Mansion.
But now, Bai Jinyu suddenly fell into a coma and has not woken up yet.
The old master said to Shen Huaishan, "There is still some time before the New Year. Why don't you stay here during the New Year and go there after the New Year."
Shen Huaishan nodded: "Everything is up to you."
The "Wangyue Tower" next to Yuehua Garden is the courtyard where Bai Jinyu lived before she got married.
She has been married to Shen Huaishan for many years, and the yard is still reserved for her. The two-story building is the only different feature of the entire Bai family. Even in winter, the yard is still lush and green.
In the room with floor heating, Bai Jinyu was lying on the bed and hadn't woken up yet.
Shen Huaishan sat by the bed and kept guarding her, while Shen Linchuan stood beside her and talked to him in a low voice.
"When Baoqi disappeared, I always felt it was no accident. Over the years, the people my father sent out still have no clues. But I thought, if Miss Jiang is Baoqi, we might as well send people to Sucheng to investigate. If we follow the clues from the place where Miss Jiang was picked up by her adoptive mother, we will definitely find some clues."
Shen Huaishan nodded and was about to say something.
Shen Baoqing ran in from outside with something in his arms.
She was in a hurry, and her cloak was covered with snowflakes.
It started snowing outside again, and the snow flakes were heavy and fell all over her.
But she didn't care about these things, not even taking off her cloak, nor caring about her mother who was still in a coma. She ran to Shen Huaishan and Shen Linchuan in a few steps.
He took out the small piece of clothing that he had been holding in his arms.
"Daddy, look, this is the clothes Yaoyao was wearing when she was picked up by her adoptive mother."
When Shen Huaishan heard this, he quickly reached out and took the clothes.
The clothes were extremely small and had patches on them, but the unripe parts were made of soft silk.
The clothes are old and faded a bit, but you can still see their original color.
Shen Huaishan couldn't see anything. He was a man, and Bai Jinyu usually took care of the children's clothes. But now, she had completely forgotten everything about Baoqi in the past.
He didn't dare to provoke her again.
Seeing his frown, Shen Baoqing was a little disappointed.
Shen Linchuan, standing aside, reminded: "Besides Linglong, were there any other maids serving my younger sister back then?"
Linglong is the maid who disappeared with Shen Baoqi that year.
Later, the body was found in the moat, having already drowned.
After he reminded him, Shen Huaishan suddenly thought of someone.
He stood up and walked out.
Bai Jinyu's wet nurse, Nanny Wen, happened to come in from outside, holding hot tea and snacks in her hands.
When Shen Huaishan saw her, he spoke: "In the future, you don't need to do these small things yourself, just let others do it."
Nanny Wen put the things on the table beside her.
She smiled and said, "I am idle anyway. My arms and legs are old, so it would be comfortable to walk around."
As Bai Jinyu's wet nurse, Nanny Wen is somewhat respectable both in the Grand Tutor's Mansion and in front of Shen Huaishan.
She is old now.
Bai Jinyu and Shen Huaishan discussed giving her a yard and sending a few people to take care of her in her old age.
But Nanny Wen couldn't sit still, and since Bai Jinyu had this old illness, she was always worried.
At this moment, she saw Shen Huaishan holding an old piece of clothing in his hand.
It was tattered and I couldn't help but ask: "What is this..."
Shen Huaishan handed over the clothes.
"Mammy, take a good look at this dress. Does it look familiar to you?"
Nanny Wen glanced at him and took the little piece of clothing.
The clothes were extremely small. There were no children in the house, and she had not seen such small clothes in many years.
This is a child's inner garment. Although it has faded, you can still see its original color, the most delicate peach blossom red in spring. It has a round collar with a slanted front and a pair of peach blossom buttons at the collar...
