Chapter 297 Empathy

ing with those “old scholars.” He received a tap on the shoulder from Li Laotai and was scolded, “You’ve been away from home for years. If you don’t go out and show your face, people won’t even know t...The old woman hurried to help, taking out a gray pouch.

"Give... to Jia Ren for his studies, give... a wife to Jia Yi! Don't marry me like this!"Wu Cuifang forcefully stuffed the money bag into Jia Ren's hand and looked at the door again, but unfortunately, no one came in. 。She was disappointed, the light in her eyes slowly fading, but she still remembered, "Mother, grave, grave…" The old woman quickly replied, "Don't worry, I will definitely do what I promised you." 。You will be buried on a beach of gold shards, in a place of beautiful mountains and clear water. Your family, loyal and kind, will visit you every festival and holiday to pay their respects. 。You are the original wife of Lao Er. Even if he marries someone else in the future, she will have to kowtow to you. 。Wu Cuifang finally felt at ease, a last tear rolling down her cheek, she finally let go of her son's hand. 。Jia Ren stared blankly at his mother's hand, withered and thin, completely different from what he remembered. 。In my memory, Mother rarely did housework because she was lazy. Her hands were plump and white. When she caught him and his younger brother fighting, she always favored them the most. 。It seems like, in the blink of an eye, how did things turn out like this 。 Why has it become like this"Mother!" In the courtyard, Jiayin heard her brother's cry and abruptly raised her head to look at the ear room. Her eyes also reddened. 。She didn't have much feeling for Wu Cuifang, but she felt sorry for her brother who had lost his mother and her second uncle who was having a hard time. 。presumably the people at home are the same way, if they could choose, they would rather have Wu Cuifang eating and drinking well somewhere, than see her die young in this early spring 。 It's a pity... The steward was also uneasy in his heart. If he had known earlier that the laundress Wu was the daughter-in-law of the Li family, he would have taken extra care of her no matter what. 。Now that this person has died in the Hou Mansion's backyard, he is still so pitiful. How will he move around in front of the Li family laterWhat if the Li family is angry, he will be resented! Jia Yin sat on the side, watching the housekeeper's uneasy expression, and comforted him, "Housekeeper, my adoptive father said, those who are unaware are not guilty" 。The chief steward's eyes welled up with tears, and he knelt down before the young master. 。"Miss, the old servant truly doesn't know if she is from the Li family..." 。And when I first saved her, I treated her for a long time. But her injuries were too severe. The imperial physician said that if she could live for a month, it would be a miracle. 。To her surprise, she had made it all the way to Xin Du without dying. However, she still refused to take her medicine, as if she didn't want to live anymore. 。“I couldn't find a way out, so I had her live here and didn't assign her any work. I didn't make her a slave contract either. Her meals and everything were the same as everyone else's.” 。She's crazy, and she's also hurt her face. Everyone keeps their distance from her and no one bullies her. 。When spring arrived, she suddenly began washing clothes for everyone and insisted on being paid. Everyone gave her money. 。But she spent nothing and refused to see a doctor or take medicine. I wonder what she's saving all that money for...

Jia Yin guessed that when spring came, their family would come to the south of the Yangtze River. The Marquis frequently visited Suijintan. It is estimated that Wu Cuifang heard people in the Hou Mansion gossiping and, having originally decided on suicide, changed her mind and planned to earn more silver for her son.

Just as Old Li (Li Lao Tai) was supporting Young Li (Li Lao Si)'s hand and walking out, she heard most of it. She quickly rushed forward to help the steward up with her own hands. 。"Don't worry, Mr. Butler, our Li family are reasonable people." 。First of all, you didn't even know she was the daughter-in-law of the Li family. She was just a dying person on the roadside. Saving her and bringing her to Xin Du to help find medical treatment would be enough. No one could treat an outsider like their own mother. 。Moreover, she was already on her deathbed. Thanks to you, she lived for another two years and got to see her family before she passed away. We should be thanking you instead. 。"The head steward let out a long sigh of relief, his heart finally at ease." 。He quickly wiped his tears and bowed respectfully, "Thank you, Madam, for your understanding." 。“People's lives are all predetermined by fate. Now that things have come to this, no one can be blamed.” 。She sat down in a chair, holding her granddaughter, and said again, "I would also trouble the steward with one more thing. Could you please open the back door" 。Our family is going to buy a coffin and carry the person back to Sui Jintan. 。"No, no, ma'am. It was my duty." 。And then, "Is the back door where the servants enter, or is it through the side gate" The butler suggested, but was immediately rejected by the old lady. 。“No need, Head Butler, let's just leave from the back door.” 。We've already caused the Hou Mansion quite a bit of trouble. If we leave through the front gate, outsiders will surely gossip about what happened at the Hou Mansion and it wouldn't be good for Lord Hou. 。The old woman was so reasonable, the head steward was truly grateful. 。He immediately sent people to help Li Lao Si buy mourning clothes and a coffin, then carried it in from the back door. 。The old woman brought warm water and a towel, personally wiping Wu Cuifang’s body and face, then changed her into clean clothes and a burial robe. Lao Er and Jia Ren hugged Wu Cuifang and placed her in the coffin. 。The back door wasn't far, and the Li family didn't need any outside help. Li Lao Er and Jia Ren carried the coffin head, while Li Lao Si carried the coffin tail alone, and they smoothly exited through the back door. 。The old woman was afraid that her granddaughter was too young and might have been exposed to some evil spirit. She entrusted Jia Yin directly to the head butler. 。"Will the Lord be back tonight Then let Fu Niu stay here today, our house will definitely be in a mess. It's best for a little girl like her to hide for a while." 。“

The steward quickly agreed, and Jiayin didn't insist on going home >>> 。The family has to set up a spirit altar, choose a burial ground, and prepare for the funeral. They're really too preoccupied to even think about her. 。And Aunt Second, she had done many wicked things before, but this ending is truly lamentable. 。I'm sure the family members are feeling a mix of emotions right now. Even if she goes back, it won't solve anything. 。The steward dared not make any more mistakes. He spent the whole afternoon entertaining Jiayin with various activities. 。Lunch was also very plentiful, with six dishes and one soup, plus white rice and egg custard. 。Jiao Yin tried her best to eat until she was full, without crying or making a fuss. She even took a nap. 。In the afternoon, the Lord finally came out of the palace. 。The servants of the Marquis's mansion were guarding the gate, and when they saw their master, they hurried to tell him everything from beginning to end. 。The Lord frowned, also feeling that this matter was too surprising. 。In the old stories of the Li family, he knew about this second daughter-in-law. 。Having thought that the previous move of capital had been so chaotic, this person was already dead in Beidi. Unexpectedly, not only did he survive, but he ended up dying in his own manor..."Return to the manor!" The Marquis directly flipped onto his horse and galloped all the way back to the mansion, going straight into the main courtyard 。In the eastern wing, Jiayin hadn't woken up yet. The kang was burning very hot. 。A maidservant stood by, chin resting on her hand, dozing off. 。As soon as the Lord entered the room, the maidservant knelt down and didn't even dare to lift her head. 。The Lord asked, "How long has the young mistress been sleeping" "Returning to my Lord, one hour." 。The maid quickly replied. 。The lord waved his hand to shoo people away, then picked up the chubby little girl, touched her forehead and found it was not hot. He let out a relieved sigh. 。Jia Yin woke up in a daze, seeing her stepfather. For some reason, she suddenly felt a bit wronged. 。"Father, oh father, Aunt #2 has passed away. My brother is heartbroken and crying so sadly." 。"Your godfather knows," the Marquis gently patted the little girl's back and comforted her softly, "Your godfather knows you're worried about your second uncle and brother" 。"No, Second Aunt is bad, she bullies me, I don't like her" 。But she died, it's so pitiful…” Jia Yin choked back tears, remembering her heartless parents from her past life. Perhaps one day they would die too, and her feelings would be just like her brother's now... 。It's been over two years since she arrived here, and the her from that world is probably gone by now. Who knows when her parents, who always saw her as a burden and a stain, realized she was missing... 。or maybe, even if you find it, you wouldn't care 。She always thought that having such a loving family in this life would heal the pain of her past lives. 。I didn't expect that, even at this time, I would suddenly burst into tears... "Godfather, I miss grandma, dad, and mom..."could move, should listen to the arrangements and take their children south as quickly as possible."The old master had lived in Quanzhou for many years, buying estates and land, doing business.
