Thinking of this, Yao's tears started falling.
“At the time, I had selfish thoughts and didn’t want to give these things to you. I hope my sister won’t resent me.” Thinking of this, Yao Qisheng, a grown man, couldn’t help but have tears in his eyes.
When my mother passed away, she didn't get to see my younger sister arrive before she closed her eyes.
Even though he had sent someone to Li'an County in the fastest carriage, and Yao arrived at the fastest speed, they were still a step too late.
At that time, he still harbored resentment towards his sister.
Therefore, when his sister wrote to him, wanting Weiwei to marry Shuheng, he hesitated.
He didn't want himself or his sister to die with regrets like their mother.
Whether Yao Shuheng came to Li'an County or Li Zhiwei married into Qujing, one of the siblings would have to suffer this torment.
"It is my fault for being unfilial." Thinking of how she was unable to see her mother one last time before she passed away, wasn't that also a regret in Yao's heart?
Now, seeing these things her mother left her, Yao felt as if her mother were still standing in front of her, and she felt very close to her.
However, when Yao saw the jade pendant, she felt that it was unfamiliar.
“Brother, I’ve never seen this jade pendant before.” Madam Yao picked up the emerald green jade pendant and asked with some confusion.
"This was specially prepared by my mother for Weiwei back then." Yao Qisheng sighed when he saw the jade pendant.
At that time, Qin also took the jade pendant away, and it took him a lot of effort to get it back.
However, Mother had said that these things were meant for his younger sister and Weiwei, and even his wife could not take them away.
Yao felt even more heartbroken. Her daughter was still young when her mother passed away. If only her mother were still here.
"Don't be too sad. Mother passed away peacefully. These things were left to you not to make you sad," Yao Qisheng said, afraid that his sister would be too upset.
"Thank you, elder brother. I'm about to go to the capital. Why don't you come with me to get acquainted with the local customs?" Yao thought that since her elder brother was there, she might as well go together.
"No, I have a lot of things to take care of in Qujing. I'll bring your sister-in-law along when Weiwei gets married." Yao Qisheng didn't want to cause any trouble.
He will have other opportunities to go to the capital in the future.
"Then remember to bring your sister-in-law to Wei'er's wedding. You are Wei'er's uncle, and you can't miss the most important joyous occasion of Wei'er's life." Yao Shi reminded her brother again, fearing that he might not want to go.
“Okay!” Yao Qisheng originally didn’t plan to go, but then he thought, what if Li Tianyou bullies his sister if she goes to the capital? He decided to bring a generous gift to help Weiwei with her wedding and to support his sister.
Most importantly, Li Tianyou has transformed from a mere merchant into a second-rank official. Who knows if he might have other ideas?
Although it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, the fear is that Li Tianyou might forget his old flame once he has a new one.
In Li Zhiwei's courtyard, Li Zhiwei simply sat there, looking at the familiar courtyard.
Thinking about going to the capital soon, I still feel a little reluctant.
"Is there anywhere else you'd like to go?" Xu Heming asked, guessing that Li Zhiwei was reluctant to leave Li'an County.
It's possible that from now on, they will mainly live in the capital, and who knows when they will return next.
"I've been to all the places I wanted to go." Li Zhiwei shook her head. She had already been to all the places she wanted to go when she came back.
She was familiar with Li'an County, but after returning these past few days, she didn't want to go anywhere anymore; everything was different.
"If you want to go out, I'll go with you," Xu Heming assured her, worried that Li Zhiwei might be unwilling to leave because of the assassin incident earlier that day.
