The atmosphere in the flower hall was a bit gloomy. Wu's eyebrows kept frowning, and as time went by, they became more and more frowned. She must have remembered what happened before.
The maid walked into the flower hall and reported, "Mrs. Xu, my cousin's wife, and my cousin have already packed up."
Mrs. Yun glanced at her daughter-in-law and said, "Let them come in!"
Wu turned to look at the door, and not long after, she saw three dark and shriveled women walking in. Although they were wearing silk and satin, and their hair was neatly styled, they could not hide their embarrassment.
Who is Fan Yuelan?
Mrs. Wu didn't even recognize her for a moment. The mention of her name made her hate the woman with itch.
Fan Yuelan walked into the flower hall and recognized Mrs. Wu sitting on the chair at just one glance.
Time has not left many traces on her face. Although she is already in her fifties, her face is still plump and fair, with not even a single gray hair on her head. She is still in good shape and well-dressed.
The skirt made of Sichuan brocade makes the whole person look noble and elegant.
Thinking back to the dark and waxy face in the mirror when I was dressing up just now, with the corners of the eyes and mouth full of wrinkles, I felt hate and jealousy in my heart.
Obviously she is several years younger than Mrs. Wu, but she looks older and uglier than her. If she had been the one to marry her cousin, she would be as noble and elegant as Ms. Wu now.
In fact, three months ago, she looked even younger than Wu. She had suffered too many sins and suffered too many hardships along the way, which made her face look old and ugly.
Soon, Wu's eyes met Fan Yuelan's. Seeing the jealous look in her eyes, she immediately understood that this was Fan Yuelan.
In the memory of Fan Yuelan, although her appearance was not as good as hers, she was still a delicate and beautiful woman. I didn't expect that after not seeing her for more than twenty years, she would turn into such an old and ugly appearance.
When Xu Baozhu saw Wu's presence, she immediately pushed her daughter.
Fan Yuelan bit her lip, she really didn't want to kneel down to Mrs. Wu and admit her mistake. As long as she thought of Mrs. Wu, who was above her, looking down at her kneeling down, she felt extremely humiliated.
Seeing that her daughter was not moving, Xu Baozhu secretly blamed her for being so ignorant at such an old age and not knowing how to put the overall situation first.
In front of the Yun family, she couldn't openly ask her daughter to kneel down to admit her mistakes to Mrs. Wu. She scolded the ignorant daughter in her heart, walked up to Mrs. Wu, slowly bent one knee down, and said:
He said: "My nephew-in-law, it was me who was so foolish that I made Changfeng divorce you and marry my Yuelan as my wife.
It was also my failure to educate my daughter that made Yuelan hurt you. I have been regretting and blaming myself for these years. Today, I, an old woman, will make amends to you."
Wu stood up in fright and walked quickly to her mother-in-law. She did not expect Aunt Xu to kneel down suddenly.
She is a junior after all, how can she be bowed down by her elders?
Doesn't this shorten her life?
When Xu Baozhu saw Wu walking away, she straightened her legs and turned around, then bent her knees to kneel to her again.
Mrs. Yun quickly asked the maid to stop her. She looked at Xu Baozhu who was being supported by the maid and said, "What are you doing?"
Although she had made mistakes in the past and was sorry to Mrs. Wu, she did not go to the extent of kneeling down to apologize to Mrs. Wu.
As a younger sister, she has always had a high spirit. Today, she can kneel down and apologize to a junior for her past mistakes, which shows that she sincerely regrets it.
