Chapter 657

~6 min read 1,001 words

She was fundamentally unable to see outsiders.

Therefore, she could only pin her hopes on Jia Hui coming forward to save her.

Yet, several days passed without a single sign of movement.

This caused the hope in her heart to sink to the bottom, replaced by growing fear.

She could only rely on chanting scriptures and praying to Buddha.

Hoping to temporarily cast off this distress.

Unexpectedly, it was of no use at all.

Looking at the statue of the Bodhisattva before her, the more she looked, the more she loathed it.

It could not help her escape the sea of bitterness.

Instead, it seemed as if it were mocking her.

Just as she was filled with rage and about to push it over to the ground,

she heard the screams of the two matrons outside.

She could hear no other sounds.

She knew at this moment that she was hearing the voice of Jia Yuan Chun.

The usually taciturn Lady Wang turned around in instant surprise: "Big girl, you, how did you come back?"

She looked at her eldest daughter with suspicion and uncertainty.

If this had been a month ago,

or even half a month ago,

she might have been much like Jia Mu.

Although she had feelings for Jia Yuan Chun,

what she truly cared about most was Jia Baoyu.

She had feelings for Jia Yuan Chun, but not many!

But today is different from the past.

After Jia Baoyu and the Jia family had completely broken her heart,

she naturally no longer cared about them.

Now, seeing Jia Yuan Chun, she thought of her virtues—she was a hundred times better than Jia Baoyu, and more than a hundred times more filial!

She immediately threw away the scriptures in excitement, rose to her feet, and stepped forward to hug Jia Yuan Chun tightly.

With tear-filled eyes, Jia Yuan Chun nervously recounted the sequence of events.

"Leaving the imperial palace is for the best, it is for the best!... It is Mother's fault; I should not have sent you to such a disgraceful place." Lady Wang held her daughter, harboring not the slightest resentment toward her, and even apologized with regret.

Having been treated with coldness and hypocrisy by Jia Mu and the others, this moved Jia Yuan Chun to wail even more loudly!

The mother and daughter embraced and wept together.

Yao Niang and Lin Daiyu, those two who had no mothers, both looked at the mother and daughter with envy.

Li Wan and the others all watched quietly.

They did not disturb the reunion of the mother and daughter.

"Wait, you said His Majesty bestowed you in marriage to Jia Hui?"

After weeping for a while, Lady Wang, having calmed her overly excited emotions,

asked in flustered astonishment.

Jia Yuan Chun nodded shyly.

Lady Wang, this beautiful woman with snow-white skin, instantly lamented inwardly, feeling incomparably awkward: "This is truly a wretched fate!"

She was at a loss in her heart.

Ashamed to the extreme.

After all, there was her own relationship with Jia Hui.

And now her own daughter had become Jia Hui's woman.

What was this supposed to mean now?

How could she have the face to see her daughter in the future?

Or get along with Jia Hui?

At this moment, her mind was in total chaos.

Jia Yuan Chun, however, was telling her about what she had seen and heard at the Marquis Wushuang's estate, saying how good all the women there were.

Lady Wang did not really take any of this in.

She was still somewhat absent-minded.

Until she heard

that Mother You and the three You sisters were all serving the same husband together!

Her heart began to pound wildly!

Li Wan, who was keen-eyed and had been observing Lady Wang, clearly noticed the surprise that appeared at the corners of her mother-in-law's mouth when she heard this!

Li Wan suddenly felt a strange mix of feelings and thoughts.

Her own heart was also somewhat flustered.

On one hand, she felt it was absurd and contrary to Confucian rites and morality.

On the other hand, when she thought of Jia Hui,

She felt somewhat uncomfortable all over.

Lacking strength.

As if she had caught a cold.

Feeling soft and floaty.

As for the sisters Tanchun and Yingchun, they only envied their eldest sister for being able to be with Jia Hui!

Suddenly, the charming Tanchun had a bold idea in her heart: "Since Eldest Sister and Fourth Sister can do it, why can't we?"

Her beautiful eyes shone!

Yingchun, however, was held back by her timidity.

She didn't even dare to think about it.

She waited quietly for Jia She's arrangements.

Yet she also watched with envy as Jia Yuan Chun recounted what she had seen and heard at the Unparalleled Marquis Mansion.

Even though she already knew it.

She never tired of hearing it.

She yearned greatly for the Unparalleled Marquis Mansion.

There lived the most perfect man in the world, along with so many outstanding sisters and women!

It was absolutely the most ideal world!

She longed for it deeply.

Yet she lacked the courage to pursue it!

That left only Daiyu.

Listening quietly, her eyes fixed in a daze.

She was reminiscing about her mother, who had passed away not long ago.

She had no other thoughts.

With the beautiful face and graceful figure of her mother, Jia Min, appearing in her mind, Daiyu's eyes turned red: "Alas, if only Mother were still here! Mother, Daiyu misses you!" Nine.

【454】 Hei Fengxi breaks into the Unparalleled Marquis Mansion at night; Jia Yuan Chun and her mother discuss private matters about Jia Hui

Inside the Buddha hall.

After Lady Wang and Jia Yuan Chun had embraced and wept for a while.

Looking at her precious eldest daughter, Lady Wang raised her fair, soft hand with a heart full of pity to touch the other's cheek and said: "Daughter, you have grown thin."
