Chapter 266 She had suffered injustice for many years
Qian Yuejiao knew that a mortal's life was very short.
Qian Yuejiao also knew that the life of an immortal was very long.
The middle-aged woman looked at Cui Wu as he came out of the fitting room, and a warm feeling couldn't help but show in her eyes.
This was the last piece of clothing. The light blue fabric reflected shimmering waves in the sunlight streaming into the shop, resembling flowing spring water. Large clusters of hydrangea flowers were embroidered on the hem, like a light cloud rising from the ground.
Qian Yuejiao, who had only been saying how pretty it was, suddenly spoke up:
"This one is the best looking."
Cui Wu looked at her with a smile, his beautiful eyes sparkling with an inexplicable light, like stars falling from the sky.
"Why is this the best looking?" she asked in a lighthearted tone.
“This is embroidered silk brought from the south. The girls in the water towns are skilled at embroidery…” Qian Yuejiao spoke slowly, her voice kind and gentle, just like the person she remembered.
"This fabric suits the girl perfectly, like spring water."
Most importantly, this piece of fabric was brought back by Qian Yuejiao during her last escort mission last year, and the hydrangea flowers on it were embroidered by the embroiderer stitch by stitch, which she watched carefully.
This is what Qian Yuejiao most wanted her child to take with him.
Cui Wu smiled gently as he looked at the undisguised eagerness on Qian Yuejiao's face.
"Then wrap up this one... and all of these for me."
Qian Yuejiao, who had been staring at Cui Wu in a daze, suddenly heard her voice and spoke with some surprise:
"all?"
Cui Wu smiled, nodded solemnly, and a few tears glistened in his eyes.
She spoke slowly and deliberately: "Yes, I want them all."
These clothes were all light and flowing. She knew her father's craftsmanship. Every time a new dress was made, the girls of Lianyue City would practically wear out the doorstep of the shop.
With such a large quantity of ready-made garments, Cui Wu had no other idea that they were made specifically for her.
She looked at Qian Yuejiao in front of her, and then at Cui Cheng standing behind Qian Yuejiao.
When their eyes met, both of them turned away, seemingly trying to conceal their motives.
One said he was going to pack clothes, while the other staggered to the door.
"The sun is out, time to get to business. Young lady..."
When Cui Wu heard Cui Cheng call her, she obediently turned her head to look at her father.
"Miss, please leave after you take your clothes. The shop is small, and a young lady came in and bumped into you."
Cui Wu's obedient smile froze instantly.
"I have good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"
Thousands of miles away, the girl sitting behind the spirit boat, secretly watching Cui Wu's situation, suddenly spoke up.
Xue Lan stood in front of the spirit boat and replied calmly, "Good news."
Xue Tong stood up from the stern of the boat, her voice clear and crisp: "As you expected, Cui Wu's parents did not forget her, and even recognized her the moment they saw her."
Upon hearing this, Xue Lan nodded slowly, her voice somewhat muffled by the wind.
"This is kinship, something more terrifying than cause and effect."
"What's the bad news?" Xue Lan asked.
"Her parents are reluctant to acknowledge her as their daughter..."
"Let me see!"
Xue Tong was interrupted by Xue Lan before she could finish her sentence, and the girl quickly brought up the scene.
"It's not that I don't like it..." she said, looking at Xue Lan's serious expression. "It's more like a feeling of being reunited after a long separation, a feeling of being apprehensive about returning home."
Looking at the scene, Xue Lan smiled and said, "It's like when I found my master."
Xue Tong: "Yes, yes, that's it!"
The woman's tense expression disappeared, and she returned to her usual calm and collected demeanor as the Wolf King.
Xue Tong asked her softly, "Aren't you going to watch it anymore?"
Xue Lan nodded: "I won't look anymore, I'm relieved."
The person who could raise a girl like Cui Wu, who remained true to her original aspirations despite years of oppression and harsh discipline from her teachers at Jiyue Mountain.
Xue Lan believed that she was inferior to them.
As the number of customers gradually increased in the shop, Mr. and Mrs. Cui became somewhat absent-minded, glancing from time to time at the woman sitting in the corner, holding several pears and looking aggrieved.
Cui Wu never expected that after traveling thousands of miles home to see his parents, the two of them would pretend not to know what was going on and send him away.
She knew that her mother and father might have their own reasons.
It might be to avoid hindering his cultivation, or perhaps he didn't want to cause Cui Wu grief after his death...
She knew all of this, but she still felt wronged.
She never felt wronged when she was cultivating on Jiyue Mountain without anyone to guide her; if she didn't understand something, she could look it up in the library.
She never felt wronged when no one remembered her coming-of-age ceremony; she even asked for a hairpin that Qi Yaoyao didn't want and gave it to herself.
Even when she was trying to escape the Soul Refining Whip from Jiyue Mountain, she felt no resentment, only resentment.
I've really... really endured this for so many years!
"Plop!" A tear fell to the ground.
Cui Wu didn't know what was wrong with her; tears suddenly streamed down her beautiful face like an unstoppable torrent.
Cui Cheng stood there, stunned, unsure of what to do.
Did he say something wrong before?
Before he could react, Qian Yuejiao couldn't hold back any longer. Taking advantage of a moment when no one was around, she grabbed the "Closed" sign from one of the shops and hurriedly hung it on the door.
Cui Wu sat on a small stool, sobbing and munching on an autumn pear as she cried.
When Cui Cheng saw Cui Wu crying, he was at a loss and didn't dare to take a step forward. However, his wife was pinching his waist from behind. He could only walk forward step by step until he finally stopped in front of Cui Wu.
"Young lady?" Cui Cheng asked, "Why are you crying?"
Cui Wu lowered his head and ate a pear.
"I've been away for many years... When I came home, my parents didn't want me anymore and even told me to get out?"
Cui Cheng and Qian Yuejiao weren't stupid; they understood immediately upon hearing this. Qian Yuejiao slapped Cui Cheng right then and there.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
After the beating, the middle-aged woman knelt down in front of Cui Wu with tears in her eyes and reached out to touch her face.
"My little Wu, my son!"
Her voice was hoarse and sorrowful, tinged with tears.
"my child……"
Cui Wu couldn't resist any longer and was pulled into Qian Yuejiao's arms.
Years of resentment and grievances were released at this moment.
"Mother...I miss you so much...but I dare not..."
I've suffered a lot of injustices while I'm away from home. I think about you all every time, but I don't dare to see you.
Cui Wu was afraid that he would embarrass them, and that they would be afraid of him, this so-called immortal!
But they didn't. In Qian Yuejiao's warm embrace, she only heard her mother's repeated murmurs:
"My child, Xiao Wu..."
The mother and daughter embraced tightly. Cui Cheng stepped forward and, with tears in his eyes, took his wife and daughter into his arms.
After decades, the mortal moon and the celestial moon finally overlapped at this moment.
He carried the moon that was the apple of his eye, and waited for their little crescent moon to return.
