Xin'er nodded very seriously; she hadn't really thought about what the future would hold.
Given her status, she didn't even know who her future husband would be, so she wasn't particularly interested in Aunt Xue's passionate, life-or-death love.
Just like my grandmother said, it's better to take control of your own future than to leave it to others. Only when you have the ability can you protect yourself no matter what the future holds.
"Xin'er understands. Xin'er won't put her mind on so-called love. Men's words are just lies."
Xin'er won't believe it.
Seeing Xin'er's avoidance of men, Mo Yan said helplessly, "That's not what Grandmother meant. Anyway, if you meet someone you like in the future, you'll understand. No matter what, you must always give yourself a chance to turn back."
Xin'er nodded obediently, indicating that she understood.
The physician quickly brought the medicine, which Xin'er took and fed to Mo Yan.
"Xin'er, Grandma has something to tell you."
Xin'er: "???"
"This medicine, feeding it to you one spoonful at a time, is worse than swallowing it all at once."
Mo Yan took it and drank it all in one gulp.
Xin'er quickly gave Mo Yan some candied fruit, which she put in her mouth. The sweetness helped to mask the bitterness of the Chinese medicine.
After taking the medicine, Mo Yan told Xin'er to continue looking at the account books here.
I would stand by and guide her, and tell her how to handle the situation.
They had dinner together, and Mo Yan showed her medical books to give her a basic understanding.
It was late at night when Mo Yan told Xin'er to go back and rest.
In the dead of night, Mo Yan came to Xin'er's room.
They left through the secret passage with Xin'er and came into the mountains and forests.
It was the first time Xin'er had learned that her grandmother was highly skilled in martial arts and could carry her through the air.
Mo Yan wanted to teach Xin'er martial arts and medicine, so naturally it had to be done late at night.
After a night, Xin'er was too tired to move, so Mo Yan put her in the medicine tub and let her be boiled in the medicinal water. This was to make her immune to all poisons and to open up her meridians.
Back at the manor, it was just the right time to get up.
Xin'er slept in late before getting up.
I felt light and all my fatigue vanished.
She began to learn other things, and another day began.
On this day, Gao Yue flew quickly towards Mo Yan's courtyard.
Before she could even offer her greetings, Gao Yue quickly spoke up, "Mother, something terrible has happened!"
Mo Yan was eating and told her not to rush and to come and eat first.
"No rush, come over and have breakfast first."
Gao Yue was very anxious, but she couldn't very well disagree.
Hurry over and join in the eating. The first bite of the small steamed bun lit up my eyes, and I started eating it in big mouthfuls.
Why hasn't Gao Yue developed depression all these years? Because she's a foodie. She's happy as long as she has food; nothing else really matters.
She knew all along that Han Wen didn't like her, and the only person she cared about was her daughter. Even if she was locked up, as long as she had food, it wasn't too hard to bear.
"Mother, this little steamed bun is so delicious."
Mo Yan could also tell that it was delicious. So this is what it feels like to watch someone eat so intently; you can't help but want to feed them.
"Then you can try some other things."
Gao Yue nodded and began to eat other things.
The housekeeper is too tired; she needs to eat more to replenish her energy.
Mo Yan finally understood why she hadn't turned evil even after being imprisoned for two years; she probably used all her brainpower to think about how to eat.
It's good, really good.
After having breakfast, Gao Yue patted her head, looking annoyed. "Mother, I'm so sorry, I actually forgot such an important thing."
Mo Yan smiled. "What is it?"
Xin'er arrived at this moment, saying, "Greetings, Grandmother; greetings, Mother."
Xin'er came over and took the Chinese medicine from the person behind her. "Grandmother, it's time for you to take your medicine."
Xin'er even studied the prescription carefully; she would never let anyone hurt her grandmother again.
"Xin'er, you're here too." Gao Yue only had time to say one sentence to her daughter before she quickly spoke to her mother-in-law, "It's like this, I've heard that many people outside are saying that you, Mother, are abusing your husband's illegitimate daughter."
They spoke with such conviction, even saying you don't like Aunt Xue.
Mo Yan raised an eyebrow and looked at Gao Yue. "Didn't you have a 'no-talking' rule?"
“They’ve kept quiet. After my daughter-in-law investigated, she found out that it was Han Yin who went out and told them. She found a dog hole and crawled out. That’s why my daughter-in-law sent someone to follow her. They said she went to Zuixianlou.”
Mo Yan's lips twitched. This was someone she could call a confidante among the students.
"Really? Then let's go take a look and catch them while we're at it."
It's not that girls can't go out and have fun these days, but if you spread your family affairs around to everyone, do you want people to stand up for you, or do you want people to laugh at you?
"yes."
Xin'er was also confused. Was Han Yin out of her mind? Did she want everyone to know that she, as a mistress, disrespected her elders and was unfilial?
Or did she think that once everyone knew, she would be in the right and become the victim?
In reality, it serves no purpose other than becoming a source of amusement for people, and it also makes people feel that this illegitimate daughter has no sense of family loyalty.
They went to Zuixianlou together, and before they even reached the private room, they overheard Han Yin talking to someone about the concepts of lifelong commitment to one person and equality for all, and she was vehemently criticizing the current situation of clear class distinctions.
