Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Mother Xu was stunned.
Xu Huiwen caught up to Lin Wanli again and grabbed the corner of her clothes as if she was more willing to stay with her. However, Lin Wanli let go of her hand and said, “I’m sorry. Although I hope that you can recover, I still have my dignity.”
How could Xu Huiwen understand at this moment? She only watched Lin Wanli leave without looking back and then fell back into fear and agitation.
“Madam, you’re overreacting. I’ve been looking at Miss Lin for a long time. She’s much more professional than some confinement nannies. There’s no need for me to put in a good word for an outsider, right?”
Mother Xu looked at her daughter and thought about how Lin Wanli had hurt her. Then, she sighed. This girl was so rude, but she seemed to be the one who had offended Lin Wanli.
“Can Huiwen really be cured?”
“Originally, when Miss Lin was around, I saw some hope, but now…” The helper could not continue.
After Lin Wanli left Xu Huiwen’s room, she returned to her and Master Xiao’s room. At this moment, Master Xiao was still in the side hall. However, he seemed to have heard Lin Wanli’s inner thoughts and bid farewell to the few old men.
Since Madam Xu didn’t appreciate her kindness, there was no need for them to go to the Deer Pavilion.
That was why Huo Jiuxiao wanted to take Lin Wanli away.
The noble didn’t expect him to leave halfway, so he asked, “Did something happen on Huiwen’s side?”
“No, Uncle Xu. It’s just that Ah Li came to visit Miss Xu purely out of sympathy and wanted to help. She didn’t have any intention of climbing up to power. Madam Xu has misspoken. I’ll take Ah Li away now.”
The noble understood what he meant. He was afraid that the one at home had embarrassed the young lady. “I’ll go with you,” he replied.
They walked towards Xu Huiwen’s room. At this moment, Lin Wanli was standing in the corridor waiting for Master Xiao to return. She had never thought that she would meet the noble person, but when she saw him, she did not panic at all. She only greeted him politely, neither servile nor overbearing.
“Hello.”
“Little girl, how is my daughter?” The noble asked Lin Wanli gently.
“Forgive me for being blunt, but I’m afraid it won’t be easy for Miss Xu to recover in an environment like the Deer Pavilion.” Lin Wanli said bluntly, “I believe you know better than me what Miss Xu has suffered in her in-laws’ family. However, she did not ask her parents for help. As an outsider, it is really inappropriate for me to say anything. I only know that she doesn’t trust her parents. In other words, as her parents, you or Madam didn’t give her enough confidence.”
“Then what kind of parents do you think are qualified?” The noble person sighed and asked.
“The scope is too big. It’s hard to say. But I think the most basic thing is that every time I make a mistake or get hurt, the first person I think of for help is my family. And not swallow the pain no matter how great it is because I’m afraid of being scolded.”
After hearing this, the noble did not reply. Instead, he brought the two of them back to Xu Huiwen’s room.
At this time, Mother Xu had already closed the curtains for Xu Huiwen and tried to comfort her. However, the moment Xu Huiwen saw Lin Wanli, she rushed towards her and hid behind her.
“Chong Lou, I…” Mother Xu was at a loss.
“The young lady isn’t the person you think she is. You’ve wronged her. Apologize.” The noble person said bluntly.
Mother Xu took a deep breath and calmed down. She looked at Lin Wanli and said, “I’m sorry, young lady. I was rude just now and offended you. Because I think you’re too young and you haven’t given birth yet, I think you’re just here to show off. After all, this kind of thing happens all the time. I…” After hearing Mother Xu’s words, Lin Wanli’s anger subsided a little.
“Dana told me just now that I misunderstood you. I’m very sorry. It’s just that Huiwen has been sick for a while, and I’m really exhausted. I really don’t dare to trust others easily. I know you have good intentions, but… I really appreciate it. When you become a real mother, you should be able to understand my painstaking efforts.”
At this moment, Lin Wanli looked up at Huo Jiuxiao.
[Can I say it?]
Huo Jiuxiao nodded.
After all, he knew what everyone in the courtyard was thinking. Only when he was sure that they were honest and kind people would he give her the affirmation to reveal the truth.
“But what if I’m already a mother? My child is already two years old,” said Lin Wanli.
The people in the room looked at Lin Wanli in shock. However, Lin Wanli took
out her phone and scrolled through her pregnancy and childbirth photos, as well as Youran’s recent photos.
“It’s precisely because I’m a mother that I know that Miss Xu can still be saved. She’s asking for help. She’s screaming at the top of her lungs to complain to you about her husband’s mental abuse, but you just think that she’s crazy and just want her to calm down.”
Mother Xu was speechless.
“Actually, I’m not that kind to have to get involved in this mess because I haven’t hugged my daughter for a long time, but I’m here coaxing someone else’s child. But I still feel that Miss Xu’s ending shouldn’t be like this. I’m not a doctor, and I don’t have any professional skills. I was indeed overestimating myself, but… Maybe there’s hope?”
After hearing Lin Wanli’s words, Mother Xu finally broke down. She rushed over and hugged Lin Wanli and Xu Huiwen, crying bitterly.
After the few of them calmed down, the noble person spoke to Lin Wanli again. “Young Lady, do you have any ideas now?”
“I want to give Miss Xu and the baby a change of environment. Perhaps, they can go and live with my daughter for a period of time. She’s my most precious angel. Of course, if you’re worried, you can send someone to protect her. If anything happens, you can bring her back at any time,” said Lin Wanli.
“But I didn’t hear that you and your wife have a child. This child…”
Lin Wanli raised her head again and looked at Huo Jiuxiao. She explained to the noble person once again, “I believe you’ve heard about my husband’s situation in the past. That is just a way for us to protect our child. We don’t want her to be in any danger. Therefore, please keep this matter a secret.”
“I can promise you this.” The benefactor leaned on his walking stick and promised Lin Wanli very seriously, “What about you? Young lady, are you really not going to ask for anything for your husband?”
“My husband has the ability to get everything he wants, so I don’t beg anyone.”
When Lin Wanli said this, she was confident and firm. There was no hesitation at all. It was as if there was no one better than Huo Jiuxiao in this world.
Huo Jiuxiao put his arm around his wife’s shoulders, a smile on his face, his heart filled with pride. It was as if he
was saying, look, this is my woman..
