Chapter 390
~ THE IMPORTANCE OF MARRYING A VIRTUOUS WIFE ~
Mu Yunyao took a wooden box from Jin Lan’s hands. After opening it, she took out a longevity lock made of pure gold. It was worn with gold chains, engraved with Kirin patterns on one side and engraved words on the other, and wrote: long life and wealth.
"It should have been given to Brother Zhiwen when he was a hundred old. But at that time, Mother and Father had already brought my younger brother to the Capital. Today, I finally have a chance to make up for it."
Lady Jin took the longevity lock and put it on the child on the spot. "Alright, Yao’er is very considerate."
Seeing that Lady Jin’s eyes were red, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but sigh secretly when she thought about what she’d seen before. It seemed that after her adoptive mother returned to the Capital, her days would be much more difficult than in Jingling City.
Lady Jin urged the wet nurse to carry the child out and then pulled Mu Yunyao into the room to talk.
"The strength of a child’s neck is weak. Just put on that longevity lock for a short while, then take it off. You can’t keep it hanging onall the time."
The wet nurse quickly answered, "Yes, Miss."
Only then did Mu Yunyao follow Lady Jin back to her room. "I can see that Mother’s expression is a little haggard. What has happened in residence these few days?"
Lady Jin sighed. "Don’t mention it. Only now do I know that there are some relatives who are not even as good as strangers. Yao’er, did you come this time because someone from the Imperial Court was playing with you?"
"Mother knows about this news too. I didn’t expect it to spread so fast."
Lady Jin’s complexion was even worse: "Speaking of which, I’m ashamed to say that it was my father who came to the emperor to play you. Just now, he was in the front courtyard distinguish this matter with your father. I wonder if he’s left yet?"
Yin Hong brought the tea in. Upon hearing Lady Jin’s words, she hurriedly replied, "This servant just went to fetch Miss. I just happened to meet the Old Master Jin when I was entering the residence."
Lady Jin hurriedly asked: "What a coincidence. Yao’er, did he make things difficult and embarrass you?"
"There was no embarrassment. He just said a few words. Mother, you don’t need to worry."
Lady Jin breathed a sigh of relief, reached out her hand, and rubbed her head, looking extremely headache:
"Then that’s good. I’m now scared by the Jin family, and I’m not afraid of your jokes. If it wasn’t for my filial piety, I would have cut off all ties with the Jin family."
After coming to the Capital, the Jin family came knocked on the door repeatedly to torment her. Previously, she was still resentful due to being persecuted by the Jin family. After several twists and turns, she completely shattered her family’s affection and had completely broken up her relationship with her family. But now that she thought about it, she only felt a chill in her heart.
"Mother, you don’t need to be so troubled. I don’t want to see sick people and thank them behind closed doors."
"How could it be that easy? Every day they come to the residence, it’s either my father or mother. As a younger generation, if I were to shut them out, I am afraid I will be stabbed in the back. If I knew it would turn out like this, it would rather be free in Jingling City."
