Chapter 233 - 233 Reunited

233 Reunited

Time passed by in the village.

In the blink of an eye, it was the sixth day of the New Year.

Yue Jiaojiao went out with Zhao Zhan that day and took Li Zheng’s ox cart to the Qian residence at the thought of the Lin family’s cousin arriving at the mountain gaze in a few days.

“Sir Zhao?”

Qian Conreng opened the door and was surprised to see the two of them. “Are the two of you here today for…”

“The two of us are here to look for someone,” Zhao Zhan said as he handed over the basket in his hand. “It’s just a small gift. I hope you won’t mind.”

Qian Congren looked down at the basket in front of him with difficulty and then suddenly reacted. “You’re relatives of that lady’s family, right? I heard her mention it on New Year’s day, but look at me, I’ve forgotten about it completely.”

“She broke her leg and hasn’t recovered yet, come in quickly.”

Qian Congren said as he moved to the side with great effort to open the door. Zhao Zhan thanked him and led Yue Jiaojiao into the courtyard.

On a stone bench in the courtyard, a white-haired woman had her back to the two of them.

Yue Jiaojiao subconsciously took a step forward, her face filled with excitement. “Madam Qin.”

The woman’s movements suddenly stopped, and she slowly turned around. When she saw Yue Jiaojiao’s appearance, she grabbed the two crutches that were leaning against the table and staggered toward Yue Jiaojiao.

Yue Jiaojiao quickly walked over to support her when she saw her unstable movements due to her agitation. Her eyes were a little red. “Madam Qin, please sit down. Your leg doesn’t look okay, we can sit and talk, alright?”

Zhao Zhan and Qian Congren looked at each other and went to the room together to leave the courtyard for the two.

“Miss.”

As soon as Madam Qin opened her mouth, tears rolled down her face uncontrollably. Her eyes landed on Yue Jiaojiao’s face without blinking, afraid that everything in front of her was an illusion. Her hands trembled uncontrollably as she asked, “My lady, are you alright? When I received your letter a few days ago, I thought it was fake at first. I didn’t expect the heavens to bless you and keep you safe.”

“Madam Qin, please don’t get too worked up,” Yue Jiaojiao calmed herself down and consoled her in a low voice. She then told her about how she had accidentally fallen off the cliff that day. Madam Qin spoke, “Thank the Heavens that you’re fine.”

“You’ve been living a good life, even if I, who served by your side, am willing to be spared by God if it meant saving you.” Madam Qin wiped her tears with a handkerchief and couldn’t help but ask, “I prayed to the stars that you would be alive and healthy. What has become of your fate after the horrible incident?”

“I’m married now,” Yue Jiaojiao said with a smile. “Madam Qin, you’ve seen him for yourself. The man who came with me is my husband.”

Yue Jiaojiao had been brought up by Madam Qin since she was young. The relationship between the two of them could be said to be a master and a servant from the outside, but it was more like a mother and a daughter on the inside.

otherwise, Yue Jiaojiao would not have trusted him so much.

“My lady, d-did you end up in the village and was forced to marry this man? If that’s the case, I’ll go to the county government to seek justice for you even if I have to risk my life.

“Or we can wait for your cousin to look for you. At that time, we can leave this place and go to Bei City. No one will know what happened to you, my lady.”

Seeing that Madam Qin’s imagination was getting more and more off-track, Yue Jiaojiao hurriedly interrupted her thoughts, “No one forced me to. I married him of my own will. Madam Qin, after we spend more time together, you’ll understand why I married Zhao Zhan.

“But you left your age card at the Lin family.”
