Chapter 164: Ku Xiangyun encounters the past again
"Dafujin, Dafujin..."
A few faint cries came from outside.
The eldest wife was putting on makeup in the room. When she heard someone calling her, she frowned slightly and continued to dress up.
"Which girl is in trouble?" the eldest lady murmured to herself.
The weather in late autumn was getting colder. The sunlight outside the window shone through the thick parchment, making the room warm.
She still looked at her exquisite makeup in the mirror, but found Cai Lian standing next to her.
"Cailian, why aren't you lying in the room? Is it okay for you to come out now?"
The eldest lady felt distressed when she saw Cai Lian's melancholy eyes and haggard appearance.
"I'm fine now, Madam! I'll be the one to serve you from now on!"
After Cai Lian finished speaking, she picked up the comb and gently combed the hair of the eldest wife.
The eldest wife still found it a little unbelievable. Looking at her pale little face and weak body, she was hesitant to speak.
Cai Lian held the comb gently, and the sound of the comb teeth scratching against her hair was particularly clear in the room.
"Cailian, tell me the truth, what's wrong with you?" The eldest wife snatched the comb, held Cailian's hand, and looked at her steadily.
"Madam, I'm fine!"
Cailian took the comb again and continued to comb the hair of the eldest lady.
This jet-black hair looks so beautiful. With it combed into two buns and decorated with a tiara and a hairpin, she will be a real princess!
"Cailian, if you don't tell me, I won't know. I'll be combing my hair soon. Tell me what happened!" The eldest lady took the comb from Cailian's hand and looked at her straight.
"Fu Jin..."
Cai Lian lowered her head and kept tearing the corners of her clothes with her hands. Her heart seemed to be torn into pieces, one piece, two pieces... No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't put it back together!
Seeing that the eldest lady was still insisting on finding out the truth, she had no choice but to take out a small piece of cloth like a rag from her sleeve.
The eldest wife looked at the dirty piece of cloth and thought, what am I doing with such a worn-out piece of cloth?
But when she opened the cloth and saw the bloodstains on it, her heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
She had guessed a few days ago that Cai Lian was bullied, and asked Xiao Lingzi to find out if she could teach that person a lesson.
But when she saw the evidence, all her fantasies were shattered.
The little girl she raised as her younger sister had her innocence taken away just like that. How important is a girl's reputation!
"Cailian, you must have felt very helpless at that time!" The eldest wife looked at her, tears streaming down her face, her heart filled with heartache.
"Fujin, don't say anymore, it's all in the past..." Cai Lian was stunned, without any expression.
But the scars on his body were exposed. The eldest lady was shocked and couldn't help covering her mouth.
"Cai Lian..." The eldest wife also started crying.
"Madam, I don't want to follow Master Luo anymore. Please don't drive me away. I will never marry and will stay with you forever!" Cai Lian suddenly knelt down, tears in her eyes, and choked with sobs to beg Madam.
The eldest lady pulled Cailian up and held her tightly in her arms.
All I heard was her trembling voice: "Silly girl, you have followed me since you were a child. Although we are master and servant, you know how I treat you. I treat you like my sister!"
"But I'm afraid, Madam, I'm afraid he'll dislike me!"
Cai Lian finished sobbing and finally couldn't help bursting into tears.
She threw herself into the arms of the eldest lady and told her all her grievances.
"Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo..."
The sound of Cai Lian crying is really heartbreaking.
Such a bright girl, her life had just begun, she still had a wonderful life ahead of her, but it was all ruined by that man!
"Cry, cry, cry out all the pain, and start your carefree life from now on!"
The eldest wife gently stroked her hair and looked at her sad face, thinking that it was good for her to cry so that she wouldn't feel sad anymore.
"We'll talk about getting married later. Now you have to take good care of yourself and take care of your health, okay?"
As the eldest wife watched Cai Lian's emotions gradually calm down, she felt a little comforted.
"Come on, let's go out for a walk!" The eldest lady rewarded Cailian with a new set of clothes. She asked Xiao Lingzi to send a carriage over, and the two of them went out.
"Miss Yun, are you tired? Let's go back!" Zijuan saw that Xiangyun had been out for quite some time and wanted to take her back.
Zijuan followed Xiangyun, her eyes full of concern.
She knew that Xiangyun was now pouring all her energy into this unborn child.
Xueyan looked at the surrounding environment carefully, fearing that someone would bump into Xiangyun. After all, she would be able to see the baby in two months.
As the three of them were talking, they came to a silk shop.
Xiangyun thought it would be nice to make some clothes and quilts for the child, so she asked Zijuan and the others to accompany her to pick out the fabric.
There were not many people in the store. When the waiter saw them come in, he hurried over to greet them.
The waiter said enthusiastically, "Dear guests, what kind of fabric would you like to buy?"
"Brother Xiaoer, do you have any soft fabrics to make quilts and clothes for babies?" Xiangyun raised her head and looked at the various kinds of fabrics in the shop, wondering in her heart.
"Don't worry, sir. Our shop has a wide variety of fine materials. I guarantee you'll find soft and comfortable materials to make quilts and clothes for your children."
As he spoke, he took the three of them around the shop, introducing the characteristics of various fabrics as he walked.
"Look, this brocade is of fine texture and feels as smooth as silk. It is perfect for making quilts.
And this Shu brocade, with its vibrant colors, would definitely look great on children’s clothes…”
Xiangyun looked at each piece of cloth carefully, touching here and there. Her belly was very big, so she walked a little slowly.
But she still looked at the fabric in Xiaoer's hand with great interest.
This was also the first time for Zijuan and Xueyan to take care of a pregnant woman. During this time with Xiangyun, they also felt the urge to welcome the new life.
The three of them were picking and choosing in the silk shop, as if they could already see the lovely little life wrapped in warm cloth.
Finally, they selected several pieces of suitable material, one for making clothes and one for making quilts. As Xiangyun was pregnant, they also made two sets of clothes for her.
"Waiter, are you busy this morning?" A man's voice came from outside.
"Sir, today is not very busy!" The waiter hurriedly walked to the man.
Who knew that the man had just walked into his shop when he saw Xiangyun and the others who were about to leave with the cloth.
The man wiped his eyes and knew that he was not mistaken. This man was indeed Jiang Yuchen's father.
He looked at the three women in front of him in disbelief. The two girls were pretty and lively, dressed like maids.
Xiangyun was wearing gold and silver and had gained weight. Not just weight, she had a big belly and was already pregnant.
"Miss Yun, have you been doing well recently?" Father Jiang narrowed his eyes and asked Xiangyun without any emotion.
"You are..." Xiangyun was stunned. Who is this person?
