Good Ending: She Swears She Will Not Let Him Die!

The image of a handsome young man lingered in her mind, with his starry, flashing black eyes etched into her memory.

Yunluo unconsciously curled her lips into a smile.

She instinctively raised her hand to touch her forehead, as if that **** was pressed against her forehead.

Mrs. Zhen glanced at Yunluo and saw her smiling with joy in her eyes, and couldn’t help but ask her, "Nannan, what are you smiling about?"

Yunluo snapped back to reality and blinked playfully at Mrs. Zhen, saying, "I was thinking about what Mother said, no need for you to say it, each of us is indeed blessed."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhen’s smile grew even more gentle. She stopped and turned to tidy Yunluo’s hair, cupping her fair little face in her hands, saying, "Alright, alright, whatever Nannan says goes. Each of you is blessed, Mother is also blessed."

Yunluo held her lips in a smile, but a touch of sadness emerged in her heart.

Previously, she was young and widowed, broke away from her natal family, and spent her life being controlled by others, hardly counting as a blessed person.

Due to her lack of understanding, Mrs. Zhen and Huaili were deeply hurt.

By the standards of the time, Mrs. Zhen was a blessed lady, but precisely because of her, Mrs. Zhen was depressed and melancholy, far from being blessed.

When Mrs. Zhen died, Yunluo received a slap from Du Yundi.

Thinking back now, Du Yundi was not wrong to slap her, not to mention one slap, even ten slaps were deserved.

The present Mrs. Zhen was so gentle, Yunluo’s nose tingled with sourness.

She thought, she must be as blessed as Du Yunru, with a harmonious family and children.

Only when each of them is living comfortably and contentedly, will Mrs. Zhen be truly happy.

Yunluo reached out and hugged Mrs. Zhen’s waist, her whole face buried in her mother’s embrace.

"You child!" Mrs. Zhen hurriedly tried to pull Yunluo out, "This is the Shao Family, not Qinghui Garden, behaving like this will make people laugh themselves to death."

Yunluo pouted, then remembered that the sister was also leaning into Du Yunru’s embrace just like her, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter herself.

The Du Family returned to the Du Mansion.

Yunluo supported Old Mrs. Xia to Lianfu Garden, and had just sat down to catch her breath when a card was brought in.

Lanzhi presented it to Old Mrs. Xia: "I heard it was delivered when the old lady was out, knowing the masters of our mansion were not at home, it was first received by the gatehouse."

Old Mrs. Xia did not look at these things, she signaled Yunluo to take it.

Yunluo opened it and looked at the signature, it was Mrs. Ying Jin from the Assistant to the Central Army Commander’s Mansion, and the card said she had encountered some trouble on the street days ago, thankfully a lady helped her out, she inquired many times and found that it was the Liao Family, thus she wanted to visit personally to express her gratitude.

Old Mrs. Xia smiled and asked Lanzhi to send the card to the Liao Family, since Mrs. Ying Jin wanted to thank them for the incident, the Liao Family should know about it.

Lanzhi responded and went.

Two quarters of an hour later, Lanzhi returned with a peculiar expression, still holding the card.

"Old lady," Lanzhi lowered her head, and said, "Fourth lady says she doesn’t remember helping any lady."

Yunluo burst into laughter: "Fourth Aunt was busy sending wedding invitations to familiar families recently, maybe she helped someone and forgot."

Old Mrs. Xia laughed heartily and nodded: "What Yunluo said is right. The wife of a Second-Grade Official, we mustn’t neglect them. Huai’en’s wife can’t remember now, once she sees the person she’ll probably recall it. Even if Mrs. Jin truly mistook someone, once met, clarified, they can go find the true benefactor."

After Old Mrs. Xia finished speaking, she asked Yunluo to reply to Mrs. Ying Jin with the card.

Two days later, Mrs. Ying Jin came to visit.

She was over thirty in appearance, somewhat plump, looking cheerful and amiable.

Yunluo discreetly observed her for a moment, thinking that Mrs. Ying Jin must have been a beauty in her youth, and even now, despite the plumpness, one could see the outline of her past features.

The Liao Family was, of course, present, and after meeting Mrs. Ying Jin, they sat facing each other, still unable to recall when she had helped Mrs. Ying Jin, so she had to smile awkwardly: "Look at my memory, I truly can’t recall, please don’t take it amiss."

Mrs. Ying Jin held a teacup and took a sip, without mentioning gratitude, instead chatted casually with Old Mrs. Xia and the Liao Family.

The Liao Family felt it was odd, but still greeted with a smile, Mrs. Ying Jin wasn’t malicious, so the Liao Family had no choice but to go along with her conversation.

Mrs. Ying Jin smilingly looked at Yunluo and said, "Is it true that the Fifth Miss is betrothed to the Dingyuan Marquis? She truly looks exquisite. I’ve heard that all the young ladies in your mansion are outstanding, really enviable."

Old Mrs. Xia laughed heartily, modestly uttering a few words while already calculating inwardly.

Lightly patting Yunluo’s hand, Old Mrs. Xia said to her, "The small kitchen has stewed a bowl of sheep’s milk, go get it for me."

Yunluo obliged, got up, retreated to the central room, but did not proceed further.

Old Mrs. Xia only drank sheep’s milk porridge in the morning after waking up. At this time, the small kitchen wouldn’t have sheep’s milk; this was merely a way to send her away.

And to avoid discussing certain matters...

Yunluo knew somewhat in her heart, secretly stood behind the curtain, pricked her ears to listen to the happenings inside.

Inside they indeed touched upon the main topic.

Mrs. Ying Jin came because of Yunuo, mentioning her youngest son Ying Ji, who now works at the Central Army Commander’s Mansion as a Chief, yet to propose for marriage.

Mrs. Ying Jin knew the Duchess Rong, who mentioned Du Yunnuo, understanding that Du Yunnuo was still unmarried; thus she boldly came herself.

"I understand that the Fourth Lady just came of age, it’s a crucial time for proposals, so I came myself. If things work out, I will be overjoyed; if not, upon leaving today, you two may just assume I came to express gratitude," Mrs. Ying Jin spoke exceptionally sincerely.

These words fell on Old Mrs. Xia’s ears, making her feel the other party was an honest person.

At this moment, Yunuo cannot afford any delays.

If Mrs. Ying Jin had hired someone else to test the waters verbally, and it ultimately didn’t work out, rumors may spread, and Yunuo would certainly suffer, even if her reputation remained unharmed, time would surely be stalled.

Upon hearing this, the Liao Family felt tempted, as the son of a Second-Grade Official, Ying Ji himself had an official position, marrying a concubine’s daughter, Yunuo has gained a fair advantage.

The Liao Family looked towards Old Mrs. Xia; the matter still needed her decision.

Old Mrs. Xia had her considerations, smiling while saying she would discuss it with Du Gongfu and Du Huai’en, and reply to Mrs. Ying Jin in a few days.

Marriage is a significant affair that cannot be hastily decided.

Mrs. Ying Jin understood, exchanged some pleasantries, and got up to leave.

Yunluo hurriedly hid in the study across.

The Liao Family escorted Mrs. Ying Jin out.

As the footsteps faded, Yunluo returned to the end room, sitting beside Old Mrs. Xia.

Old Mrs. Xia pressed her brows, sighed, "Assistant to the Central Army Commander’s Mansion, we haven’t dealt with them before, we don’t know what kind of family it is. Yunluo ah, go ask your grandfather to return, I need to talk with him."
