She cried her heart out, "Father, I am your daughter, I am your daughter Yufei! Father, please don't abandon me, please don't abandon me!"
I beg you, please look at me! For the past few years, I've been waiting for you, waiting for you to take me home.
Xiao Yufei cried bitterly and desperately.
She had been waiting, waiting for her father.
But no.
Time passed day by day, but she never saw her father again.
She was in great pain and discomfort.
She couldn't believe that her father, who loved her so much, really didn't care about her at all anymore. So much time had passed, and she had finally managed to get out, but her father didn't want her anymore.
"I really don't know you, young lady. Could you please move aside?"
"Don't be so young and grab someone at your doorstep and call them 'Dad.' I don't know you. If you keep causing trouble, I'll have you arrested."
Xiao Minghui's eyes were devoid of any warmth, utterly indifferent.
Xiao Yufei couldn't believe this was her father, the father who loved her so much.
"I won't leave, I won't leave, I just won't leave. You are my father."
"Father, I was wrong, I was really wrong. I promise I'll be obedient from now on. I'll listen to Grandmother, I promise I'll be obedient. Father, please, please don't let me go, okay?"
She wants to go home and become the second young lady she used to be.
"Guards!" Xiao Minghui looked towards the gate of the mansion. "Throw her out of the city and don't let her come back in."
"yes!"
Xiao Yufei was thrown out.
Xiao Minghui later learned a lot of things. Yufei was secretly seeing that young prince and even told him a lot about him. What was this?
This is a betrayal of her father, this is giving someone leverage over her, this is trying to make her family subject to others' control. How could he have such a daughter?
How could he have such a daughter!
Mother is right. If the Second Miss doesn't die, how will he face the Xiao family in the future?
Xiao Yufei was thrown out, and in a fit of anger, she wanted to go find Xiao Minghui's rival, but...
She remembered the young prince and returned to the place Xiao Minghui had prepared halfway there.
Her life was very difficult.
Perhaps many times, Xiao Yufei thought about betraying her family and telling Xiao Minghui's enemy his secret, but she discovered that someone was always following her.
Perhaps those people did it on purpose to let her discover them.
Mo Yan sent people to follow her, and to take action immediately if anything went wrong.
Xiao Yufei was frightened.
She didn't dare.
She didn't want to die; she wanted to live.
She never went to see her aunt; she considered herself to have no mother.
She lived a simple life in that small village, farming, doing odd jobs, and embroidering. Later, she married someone from the village.
As the years passed, she eventually forgot everything.
She had forgotten what she once was, the second young lady of the Xiao family, and she had forgotten what she was like back then.
Their family wasn't very wealthy, the couple would argue and even fight, and her mother-in-law treated her badly. She felt that her life was a complete mess.
Many years later, Tang was dying of illness.
She was heartbroken, but she had to keep working; she still had to make a living.
Life was tough, but she couldn't bear to die.
——
Lin Ling and her younger brother Lin Jun were taken to do hard labor, moving stones every day. If they were slow, they would be beaten. They could only stop to eat a few bites of slightly spoiled steamed buns and drink some rice soup without rice after a whole day. Sometimes they would have some pickled vegetables.
If the work isn't finished, there's nothing to eat.
Before long, they couldn't hold on any longer; they were starving and their bodies couldn't take it anymore.
They thought they could rest if they felt unwell, but they didn't realize that the consequence of not going to work was being beaten until their skin was torn and bleeding.
Lin Ling was beaten until her skin was torn and bleeding, and she was so dizzy that she couldn't get up. She was woken up the next day by a basin of cold water.
She gritted her teeth and went to work.
She thought she would faint again, but she didn't; she held on.
I persevered day after day.
The reason she was able to persevere was that she believed her daughter would definitely come to save her, that she would definitely come to save her, and that she would never abandon her.
But what he received was news of his daughter's death.
That day, the steward came and told Lin Ling.
"Xiao Yufei, the second young lady of the Xiao family, has passed away. We have been instructed to send you to visit her and pay your respects at the funeral."
At that moment, Lin Ling felt like her world had collapsed.
She wanted to say it was impossible, but seeing the supervisor's whip, she held back. She couldn't ask, and she didn't want to be beaten again.
She was taken to see it.
She watched the hearse leave, noticing only a few scattered people, and she didn't even see Xiao Minghui.
Her daughter is gone? And all her hopes and dreams are gone too?
In the days that followed, the two of them worked as laborers.
She had a very hard life, often going hungry and with endless chores.
She didn't want to work anymore every day, yet she also wanted to live every day.
People who work in this place can't last long. The two of them knew each other and persisted for more than ten years before they became seriously ill and could no longer work.
At this point, Lin Ling looked like a sixty-year-old woman, and the two of them were sent home.
At that time, Lin Jun's son was already in charge of their household.
During the years when Lin Jun was pampered and admired, he was not kind to his wife and son.
He was having affairs with other women and constantly beating and scolding his son. He always thought that he could have more children in the future, but he never expected things to turn out this way.
After they returned, they were completely ignored and kicked out. The two were forced to beg for a living and died within two years.
Before she died, Lin Ling regretted being with Xiao Minghui. She wondered if things would have been different if she had stayed in the village and married a man who lived a quiet life. Would she have been less greedy for power and wealth?
She never expected Xiao Minghui to be so heartless, and to never look at her again.
She never expected that her daughter would abandon her.
Later, she learned that her daughter was not dead, but had simply left and never came to see her again, not even once. In the end, she had raised a thankless ingrate after all her efforts.
If it weren't for this ungrateful wretch, how could she have let him be with that young prince? And how could things have come to this? Wasn't all of this for her? Yet this ungrateful wretch doesn't care about her at all.
She was already free to leave, yet she didn't even come to see her mother once. Not even for a moment.
If there is an afterlife, she will never covet wealth and status.
She just wanted to live a peaceful and ordinary life.
——
Xu Youran had been waiting, waiting for her father to take her home and make decisions for her.
She thought her father was only so fierce because her mother-in-law was there, but she didn't expect that her father would leave soon after, without ever coming to see her, and even leaving behind a message.
"Don't contact your family again. Give all your possessions to Yudie as her dowry."
She couldn't believe that her father had really said those words.
She wanted to go out, but she couldn't leave the courtyard at all.
