Chapter 450 Unexpected New Year Gift
"If you stay, they'll only worry about you and become more controlled by others." Lin Huo tried to soften his voice. "If you're doing well, they'll know you're doing well, and I think they'll feel less sad."
Le Yi's mouth pursed, and she threw herself into Lin Huo's arms with a "wow" and burst into tears.
Her loved ones were all imprisoned. Perhaps they would never see each other again in this life. She was filled with sorrow and grief, and all the pain melted into tears.
The clothes on Lin Huo's shoulders were soaked with tears. Looking at Le Yi's appearance, he couldn't help but feel pity.
To this day, he still hasn't completely let go of Zheng Ci in his heart, but he has made up his mind to never express his feelings publicly. However, when he saw the person he had been thinking about, and saw that she had already married and become a mother, he still often felt nostalgic for the first time they met.
Three days passed in a flash.
During this period, Zheng Ci often came to visit Le Yi. Seeing that her condition was getting better day by day, he felt relieved.
"This is the chicken soup I asked my kitchen maid to make. You just came back, and everything in this house is not ready yet. Now that you are pregnant, I will ask her to make it and send it to you later."
Le Yi's face was pale, and she nodded woodenly, "Thank you." Her voice was hoarse, because her throat was a little hoarse due to crying for days.
"Hurry up and drink something, you're going to be a mother." Zheng Ci changed the subject and handed over the bowl of soup.
Speaking of the child, Le Yi's face finally showed a smile. After drinking the soup, she carefully stroked her still flat belly, her face full of tenderness.
"I have always wondered when I would be able to have a child of my own. Unexpectedly, she came at this time."
The child's arrival at the right time relieved her distress a little.
"So you have to take better care of yourself. Even if you don't do it for yourself, you have to think about your children."
Zheng Ci cherishes the true Tao.
Le Yi laughed, "I see. Thank you for your concern, Zheng Ci."
Zheng Ci: "Don't you care about me too? You've written to me every month over the years asking about my well-being."
Le Yi grabbed her hand and said, "I also want to tell you...I'm sorry."
She was stunned for a moment, and before she could say anything, Le Yi said with a hint of guilt, "Before this, I didn't know that my mother and brother did such a thing. If I had known earlier, I would have stopped them and would not let you get hurt. Xiaoci, can you forgive me..."
Seeing the tears in her eyes, Zheng Ci's heart softened.
Besides, what did Prince Yu and the Imperial Concubine do to Le Yi? She had no idea about it. If she knew, she would definitely stop it. She had confidence in Le Yi's character.
"I've never hated you. At most, when it first happened, I didn't know how to get along with you. But now I've thought it through. You are you, and they are them. There's no need to mix them up."
"Really? You really don't blame me?" Le Yi's eyes were filled with tears. "I was always afraid that you would blame me and refuse to be with me. After all that happened, you still came to take care of me and comfort me. You don't know how guilty I feel. How could they do such a thing to you? You are such a good person..."
As she spoke, she began to cry with guilt.
Seeing her sobbing, Zheng Ci felt warm and amused, "Why are you crying? Shouldn't I be the one crying? Okay, I said I don't blame you anymore. Stop crying, be careful not to hurt the child."
After hearing the last sentence, she finally stopped crying, sniffed, and looked aggrieved like a child.
"You and I have never changed."
Zheng Ci said again.
Le Yi finally smiled happily, "Okay."
Time flies and it’s the end of the year.
The Zheng family sent quite a few gifts, and this year's gift was particularly generous.
Wanxiang: "This gift is too generous. Madam, have you thought about your response?"
Tian'er also looked through the materials and marveled, "This material, I'm afraid it was a reward from the higher-ups. There are so many of them, I'm afraid it belongs to the Duke of Zheng's Mansion. It's all here."
Zheng Ci glanced at it and turned away, continuing to look at the account book. "These gifts are from my grandparents as a way of compensating me. But this matter has nothing to do with them, I know the difference. This year's New Year's gift will be a bit more generous."
"yes."
Then they started discussing other New Year gifts.
Suddenly, the doorman came with news that a family surnamed Miao had sent New Year gifts.
Zheng Ci frowned and said, "Miao family? Our family has had any contact with anyone with the surname Miao."
Tian'er and Wanxiang looked at each other and shook their heads.
Neither of them knew each other, so where did this family with the surname Miao come from?
Zheng Ci personally looked at the New Year gift and saw that there was a letter on it.
The letter was opened with only a few words.
"Happy New Year, sister. From Song Ying."
Zheng Ci suddenly chuckled, "So it's her."
Wanxiang came forward and said impatiently, "It's her. Whatever she wants to do."
Tian'er was also puzzled. "She said she left the Liang family, so how is she related to the Miao family? The master of the Miao family is said to be from the Ministry of Justice."
"Ministry of Justice." Zheng Ci smiled. "Since she's here to give us gifts, we can't let her go back empty-handed, right? Please prepare these things for me and send them back."
When they heard this, they immediately laughed.
Song Ying was trying on new jewelry in the house.
The whole yard was covered with blood. The maids who were sweeping the floor were working quietly, but the house was warm. The three braziers were all burning with silver charcoal.
There was no sign of smoke or fire, and there were several plates on the cabinet, filled with brand new jewelry.
Chic and gorgeous.
Song Ying took the pair of pendants in her hand, looked at them, and threw them back on the plate with a smile, "They are all good things. Well, where can I get them, Madam?"
Her eyebrows raised slightly, and the maid quickly replied: "These things are prepared by the master for you, my aunt. The lady doesn't have them."
"Master is thoughtful." Song Ying smiled even more brightly and picked up a ring from the plate and threw it over.
"This is a reward for you. Keep a good eye on my wife for me. If anything happens, remember to tell me."
The maid happily accepted the ring. She was the mistress's personal maid and was supposed to be loyal to her. However, the concubine gave her too much, and since the master doted on her, she naturally visited her frequently.
Moreover, she saw that her aunt was very ambitious and gave birth to another son last year.
In the future, it might be the aunt's turn to be in charge of the Miao family.
After a while, the doorman came to report that someone had returned a gift. Song Ying smiled and stood up. "I think it was the Pei family's return gift. What did they send?"
She asked, and the person below shuddered. "The gift... was just an ordinary thing."
Song Ying noticed something was wrong and frowned unhappily, "I asked you, so you answer."
"I sent...some dried fruit snacks."
"You're so petty." Song Ying sneered.
