Chapter 71
Usually the daughter visits her mother, but today she is afraid that she has to come to see her daughter in person. She does not allow her son to stay in that dark room for even more than a moment.
In order not to attract attention, Mrs. Pan deliberately disguised herself as a maid and went out quietly through the back door.
After leaving the house, I changed into suitable clothes on the carriage.
The road to my daughter's house is still quite far. If we keep walking, it will take about five or six hours. If we get there, it will be almost midnight.
But Pan has no choice. In her family's power, her daughter is the only one she can rely on.
Hua Yunqian, on the other hand, was still so dull that she didn't know what to do.
"Master, why are you here?" Lian Jing came in.
"Where's the doctor you hired?"
"Young Master, when I was about to go outside just now, I was stopped. It was said that someone had hired someone to treat Sister Churou. He also deliberately asked me to stay there and not allowed to come back. I thought of a way and came back to report the matter as soon as possible.
Yours. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find you at the banquet, so I guessed that you would come here.”
"This matter is really strange. No, I have to go to dad again and ask. On this wedding day, even the bride is missing. Let me know what to do."
While the two were talking, someone came from outside the door and knocked them unconscious.
Behind him was Mr. Hua.
"Hey, my son is too soft-hearted! There is nothing my father can do about it."
Mr. Hua let out a long sigh.
I thought I could safely leave the position of head of the family to my son, but it backfired. Now, there is a scene like this.
"Put the young master on the bed, give him some soothing medicine, and then light some soothing incense later, so that he can have a good sleep."
Master Hua ordered.
"yes."
They all worked together to place Hua Yunqian on the bed, and then carried Lian Jing away.
On the big day, the bride is dead and the groom has fainted. To Mr. Hua, it is like a farce. He only regrets why he agreed to this in the first place.
It's already quiet here, but Pan is still on his way.
When we arrived at the Chen Mansion, everything was extremely quiet, and the house was also unusually quiet.
After calling the door for a long time, someone came.
"May I ask who you are?"
Due to the dark night and high wind, it was difficult to tell at this time, and the doorman did not dare to let people in easily. He only opened a small gap.
"Please name me your master. Just say it's our Yun Xue's mother who is visiting."
"Ah, our wife's mother, why are you here now?"
"If I don't have to, I won't come here late at night. Please spread the word."
Saying this, Mrs. Pan ordered the girl aside to hand over a lot of silver to the boy.
The young man was already very sleepy, but when he saw the money, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Ma'am, please wait a moment. I'll go make the announcement right now."
"It's time to work."
Pan was extremely humble at this moment, completely different from Zai Huafu's usual style.
The boy took the silver coins and closed the door again. He knew Master Chen's temper best. If he disturbed their rest now, he would definitely get angry, so he took the silver coins and went to his room to continue resting.
Pan was waiting outside the door, but there was no movement for a long time and it was a bit cold. Then she got into the carriage again. Due to the long journey, she fell into a light sleep after a while.
As time passed, it started to get brighter, and someone started to make noises in the house.
Mrs. Pan woke up suddenly, her hands and feet were numb. Coupled with the temperature outside, she started sneezing one after another.
So he went out to see what was going on.
"Let the boy go and pass the news, but it's already dawn and no one has come to see you yet?"
Just as he was talking, the boy came up to meet him.
"We, Mrs. Chen, have an invitation."
Mrs. Pan began to mutter that she had become a family and her status was higher, so her mother was left out in the cold all night without being greeted. She would not even go out to greet her.
Even so, I kept thinking about my son and didn't care about so many etiquette.
Mrs. Pan huddled in the carriage for a long time. Such sudden movements always made her a little unsteady, but she still staggered forward.
After passing through several doors and turning a few corners, we finally arrived at the place.
I thought the meeting place would be my daughter's boudoir, but unexpectedly it was in the meeting hall.
Pan sneered, but did not dare to say anything. Although she was Hua Yunxue's mother, according to her position, she was a commoner and her daughter was the wife of an official, so there was naturally a difference.
Mrs. Pan was about to salute, but when Yun Xue saw her mother, she immediately stepped forward to greet her.
"Mother, why are you so polite to your daughter? Come and sit here for a while."
Hua Yunxue helped Mrs. Pan to a chair. After ordering someone to bring tea, she sat down and waited for the mother to speak.
"Xue'er, are you okay?"
"Oh, my mother is so considerate. I never asked my daughter if she was satisfied or not when we got married. Do you want her to be married? Now she actually cares about me."
"Is it wrong for Mom to let you enjoy this glory and wealth?"
"Then I have to thank my mother."
She, Hua Yunxue, and her mother had a good relationship. When the girl was at home, it was often said that she must find someone who "talks to a gentleman and treats her as warmly as a jade".
But when she finally reached the age, in order to give her eldest brother a pass for his crimes, she committed herself to Mr. Chen, who was very carefree and arrogant. All this time, she stayed alone in the empty house and had not had a son. Except for necessary visits, there were almost only husband and wife.
The name has no real meaning as husband and wife. After so many years, she has accepted her fate!
"Xue'er, are you still angry with your mother?"
"How dare you! Why is my mother looking for me so early?"
Mrs. Pan felt a little embarrassed, but only Mr. Chen could help with this matter. After thinking about it for a while, she finally said it.
"I'll tell you the truth, Xue'er. Your eldest brother..."
"It turns out that my mother didn't make a special trip to see me. I thought it was the sun coming out in the west. It seems that my daughter is overthinking it again!"
Saying that, Hua Yunxue started to play with the handkerchief intentionally or unintentionally, and also knocked the melon seeds from time to time. The shells were spat far away, completely unconcerned!
"What did Xueer say? Mother came here this time to see my daughter. It's just that your elder brother is in trouble, so I'm here to ask you to help him."
Hua Yunxue knew that her mother never went to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, so something was troubling her again.
"My eldest brother? What did he do again?"
"Your uncle said that he had harmed someone and was going to be sent to the government. So..."
"Haha. If my uncle found out, I'm afraid my eldest brother didn't do anything good, right?"
Growing up, she knew very well what kind of person her brother was.
"No, your eldest brother must have been wronged this time. Do you know that it was your uncle who wanted to do this for his son?"
"Mom, so what? You want my husband to intercede with your uncle on your behalf and be lenient?"
