"Why!"
Old Man Chi naturally knew his daughter was capable, but she was still so young, and he, as her father, just couldn't control himself...
Sometimes, Old Man Chi secretly didn't want his daughter to be so capable, because if she were, she would become dependent on him.
Can……
Whose fault is it that I'm incompetent? I can't expect my child to continue being incompetent, can I?
After that, there was no sound from inside the carriage.
They soon arrived at the Yang residence.
After waiting at the door for a short while, I was welcomed inside.
They were received by Madam Yang.
"Elder sister, why are you so late? Is something the matter?" Madam Yang asked wearily.
It's so late, she should be resting.
There are so many things to do every day, I thought I could finally get some rest...
"Ah, we came this afternoon, thinking we'd come and see you." Aunt Chi had learned her lesson.
They didn't immediately say they wanted to see Madam Yang, so as not to upset her.
Madam Yang rubbed her temples and said with a smile, "Elder sister, aren't you being too formal? What kind of relationship do we have? There's no need to be so formal."
Are you home alone?
"Oh, the master hasn't returned yet. His Majesty is implementing new policies, and the master has practically been living at the court for the past two months."
Madam Yang was somewhat worried.
Can the old man's body hold up?
New policy?
Mr. and Mrs. Chi exchanged a glance, a hint of pride in their eyes.
That was all thanks to their daughter!
Ahem, this must not be shared, it must not be shared!
After talking for a while, they greeted everyone in the Yang household, but Madam Yang still didn't bring up the matter of asking them to visit Old Madam Yang.
Aunt Chi couldn't help but blush and said, "...It's getting late, I want to go see my mother and then go back."
"...Big sister, it's not that I don't want you to see it, it's just that Mother hasn't been sleeping well lately. She finally fell asleep early today, so look at this..."
Madam Yang was somewhat embarrassed.
Aunt Chi was a little suspicious. If they went forward, she would definitely back down and let it go.
But this time she was genuinely worried, as she hadn't seen her mother for almost half a year.
So he said, "It's alright, it's alright, I'm not an outsider. I won't bother my mother, I'll just take a look from afar."
Having said all that, it would be inappropriate for Madam Yang to object further.
So Madam Yang could only nod: "Alright, then come with me, elder sister."
"Brother-in-law, you should stay here. The fewer footsteps there are, the less likely it is to wake Mother."
Madam Yang said calmly.
Aunt Chi's face immediately turned bright red.
She knew that what she was doing was somewhat inappropriate, but...
Remembering what her daughter had said, she had already given so much of her mother's dowry to the Yang family in order to atone for her mother's mistakes.
Although the mistake is unforgivable, we shouldn't make things difficult for them in the name of the money.
I am no less than them, and I have done nothing to wrong them! Therefore, I have nothing to be ashamed of.
Such words!
Thinking of all this, Aunt Chi straightened her back unconsciously!
He casually asked, "Is Mother's health not good? Why can't she sleep well?"
In the dim sunlight, Madam Yang's eyebrows twitched slightly at the ends, but that was all.
"My mother is getting old, and she has always longed for immortality, so this is understandable."
When she got to the heartbreaking part, Madam Yang took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said in a choked voice, "Ever since Changsheng left, Mother has not been able to sleep at all, night after night."
After Madam Yang repeatedly brought up the matter of immortality, Aunt Chi seemed to understand something in her heart. She said with a hint of reproach:
"Look at you, Mother misses Changsheng, but that's because she's lonely with no one around. There are so many children and grandchildren in the Yang family, any one of them could go and keep Mother company, wouldn't that be fine?"
Aunt Chi smiled with a kind and honest expression.
Mrs. Yang visibly choked for a moment.
Aunt Chi sneered inwardly.
What, you're allowed to keep bringing up immortality, but I'm not allowed to refute it?
not to mention……
"Well, no matter how you look at it, Mother still needs to live out her days in the Yang family. If you can't bear to leave your child, how about this: I'll take Mother with me this time and let her live out her days in my home. That way, you won't have to go through all that trouble."
Aunt Chi held Madam Yang's hand sincerely as they walked, saying, "This way, you'll have an easier time. I know that your mother isn't your biological mother-in-law, and you're in a lot of trouble because you can't be too lenient or too harsh on her."
Madam Yang: ...
Is this a sarcastic remark implying that the master is only a son born out of wedlock?
Really?
Could the eldest sister possibly have such a cunning mind?
"Elder sister, look at what you're saying! The stepmother is the Yang family's stepmother, how can she go to the Chi family to live out her days? Wouldn't that put the master in a position of being unfilial?"
"Since you insist on supporting your mother, I won't force you to."
After speaking, Aunt Chi let go of the other person's hand and walked ahead with her back straight.
Madam Yang followed slowly behind with a deep look in her eyes.
When we got to the courtyard, it was so quiet that there wasn't even a cicada or a katydid chirping!
Not to mention human voices.
However, Aunt Chi remembered that Madam Yang had said the old lady couldn't sleep well, so she didn't say anything and quietly continued walking inside.
Aunt Chi stood by the window, looking through the half-open window at the soundly sleeping Old Madam Yang, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, I slept quite well.
His gaze then fell on Old Madam Yang's full head of white hair and her sagging face.
