C10 The Yue Residence Looking for Relatives
Lianshuang looked at Meiniang without blinking her eyes. Meiniang's expression was complicated and her lips slightly moved but she did not make a single sound.
"What is mother's plan?" Lianshuang lightly pursed her lips and the brilliance in her eyes had long disappeared.
"Shuang." Meiniang's expression was somewhat awkward and her mind was filled with thoughts. She could not bear to part with her Shuang even though they had not known each other for a long time. But when she saw her for the first time, she felt that there was some kind of fate between the two of them that she could not part with.
Furthermore, the feelings that she had given up these past few days were all sincere and genuine. How could she bear to part with it?
"Shuang rest assured. If mother leaves alone, she will definitely bring Shuang along." After a moment of silence, Meiniang gently got up and walked to Lianshuang's side. Her eyes were exceptionally firm.
She closed her heavy eyes and the pain in her eyes was buried.
How exactly should she protect her mother? It was as if no matter what she did, she would not be able to escape from fate's teasing. Was history starting to repeat itself?
Lianshuang's heart was struggling non-stop.
No! Absolutely not!
She suddenly opened her eyes, but her mind kept replaying the scene of her mother and her struggling in the water.
The pain in her heart was as if she was going to empty herself.
If fate fooled her and made her suffer again, she would definitely not be as useless as in her previous life. She had to resist! Even if it was all in vain, she still had to give it a try.
The night sky was deathly silent, and the singing and dancing of birds were still continuing. The sound of the zither and flute that lingered in the pavilions seemed to be filled with sorrow because of tonight's events.
The dark green lake water reflected the willow trees on both sides of the river. Lianshuang sat alone by the lake. The moonlight shone on her fair face and she looked tired and haggard.
A green dress seemed to be merging with the water and wood. That pair of bright eyes were shining with bits and pieces of light, making the night seem even colder.
The night was endless, the song ended and the people dispersed.
The next day, when the first ray of light shone into the room, Lianshuang gently opened her eyes. Her bright eyes were bloodshot and seemed somewhat turbid. Last night, she did not sleep at all.
Similarly, Meiniang did not sleep at all.
Although she could not bear to part with Qian Jiao Pavilion, she could not bear to part with Qian Jiao's mother and the other sisters who took care of her.
However, what was most difficult for her to part with was still the familial love that she had been looking forward to all this time.
At the entrance of Qian Jiao Pavilion, two luxurious carriages steadily stopped outside the door. A row of neatly dressed servants and servants stood respectfully on both sides of the carriage. The strong scene attracted the attention of passers-by.
Yesterday, Yue Family only sent one person to deliver a letter for Meiniang to prepare. Today, they would bring her back.
The people who alighted from the carriage were two women dressed in luxurious clothing. One of them was young and had a pretty face. There was a slight smile on her face that seemed to be filled with joy. The other was slightly older but was also a beauty.
The two of them stood there, almost comparing to the group of girls that came out from Qian Jiao Pavilion.
"Is this where elder sister lives? It's quite unique, it's not any worse than the Yue Residence." Walking into Qian Jiao Pavilion, Yue Xier carefully sized up her surroundings. The irony in her eyes was hidden in her sweet smile. If one did not look carefully, one would not be able to see it.
"No matter how good it is, it is still a place of fireworks." Mrs. Lin frowned and said faintly. The disdain in her eyes was not concealed at all.
Yue Xier raised her eyebrows and felt very proud in her heart.
Usually, she would see her father holding a painting alone in the study and secretly hurt her mind. Her mother said that it was the child of the original wife who went missing when she was five years old and had not been found.
She did not have a good impression of this elder sister who appeared out of nowhere. If it was not for the recent incidents in the Imperial Residence, she would not have dragged her mother here.
When Mrs. Lin's contemptuous words fell into Ripples' ears, it made him feel very uncomfortable in his heart. What happened to the firework place? The girls of Qian Jiao Pavilion were all clean and self-disciplined, they had no regrets.
Anger was unbearable. Just as she was about to question that arrogant Mrs. Lin, Qian Jiao's mother quickly stopped her.
Meiniang, who had finished washing up, led Lianshuang around the screen and slowly walked over.
Meiniang carefully looked at Yue Xier and Mrs. Lin who were dressed extravagantly and a trace of helplessness flashed across her eyes.
"This must be Aunt and Grandmother." Lianshuang opened her mouth and emphasized the words "Aunt" and "Grandmother.
Hearing that, Yue Xier raised her eyes in surprise. That condescending attitude was like a proud peacock.
"You are." Yue Xier looked at Meiniang and then at Lianshuang, her eyes were filled with doubt.
"I am mother's goddaughter, my name is Lianshuang." Lianshuang lightly smiled but her eyes were cold.
She had decided that even if Yue Residence was a dragon's pond and tiger's den, she would still go with mother. Since the familial love that had been missing for more than ten years was what her mother longed for, what right did she have to interfere? What she wanted to do was to become better as long as she wasn't hurt. Everything else could be considered a long-term plan.
Yue Xier looked at Meiniang but saw Meiniang smile slightly and then nod her head.
The sweetly smiling Meiniang made Yue Xier stare blankly. She did not expect that the legendary "Big Sister" would actually have such beauty.
"Elder sister is really a rare beauty. No wonder father wants her." Putting away the jealousy in her eyes, Yue Xier put on a sweet smile and walked forward. She intimately grabbed Meiniang's hand and looked very happy.
Lianshuang only felt that Yue Xier's act of pretending to be warm was funny. If it was not because she knew Yue Xier's temperament earlier, she would have believed it.
The tragedy of the previous life began from today's belief...
Thinking of this, Lianshuang's beautiful eyes became colder and colder.
Yue Xier just happened to see the cold light that suddenly appeared in Lianshuang's eyes. That hostility caused her heart to be startled. It was filled with doubt and uneasiness.
"Aunty, Lianshuang will bring you and grandma a cup of tea." Lianshuang raised her small face and looked at Yue Xier with an innocent and innocent face.
"En, okay." Yue Xier replied softly and her eyes followed Lianshuang's small figure as she ran far away.
Could it be that she had seen wrongly just now and Yue Xier was puzzled in her heart.
It was just a small child that made her nervous. Perhaps it was because she was overthinking.
After thinking about it, Yue Xier retracted her gaze. The smile on her face was still seamless.
Hearing Lianshuang call her grandmother and aunt, Mrs. Lin's eyes did not conceal the disgust in her eyes.
When Lianshuang appeared again, the smile on her face was like a flower blooming in the early morning. It was so fresh and beautiful that it could not tolerate any impurities.
She held the teapot and the cup in her hand and jogged over. Her steps were a little unsteady.
"Be careful, don't fall." Meiniang looked at Lianshuang with amusement and her heart was incomparably soft.
Just as her voice fell, Lianshuang tumbled and was about to smash towards the ground.
