Chapter 341 Reap the consequences

"Nuan Nuan, what are you saying? Hasn't your mother always been by your side? How could she possibly abandon you?"

Yu Ying pulled Xia Rong, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, into her arms and whispered to her.

Xia Rong covered her ears with her hands, and large tears slid gently down her cheeks.

Although the drops that fell on Yu Ying's heart were only the size of a bean, they could still leave scars on her heart.

"But why didn't you come to see Nuannuan before, Mother? Did you think that Nuannuan was a girl and couldn't bring you honor?"

"That's not true! Nuannuan, you are a piece of my flesh, how could I possibly abandon you? You have no idea how much I've missed you all these years you've been away from me."

"Hehe! Mother, don't try to fool me with such sweet words. Just now I saw you holding a kitten, and it didn't look like me at all!"

"Nuan Nuan, be good! The reason Mommy holds the cat in her arms is because it's a habit. If you don't like it, Mommy will change! From now on, Mommy will hold my Nuan Nuan in her arms, okay?"

After hearing this, Xia Rong tentatively looked around at the people sitting around her. Feeling that she didn't recognize anyone, she struggled to escape from Yu Ying's embrace.

He crossed his arms and leaned into the corner of the bed, gently shaking his head and muttering something under his breath.

Suddenly, she looked around as if searching for something, but after a while, she buried her head between her thighs again.

Seeing this, Yu Ying hugged Xia Rong even tighter, and not only that, she also called out loudly, "Taozi! Taozi, Taozi, come here quickly!"

Before long, Peach hurriedly appeared in front of everyone. Seeing her little miss looking at everyone with a face full of fear, a wave of sadness welled up in her heart.

Before Taozi could even reach Xia Rong's side, Xia Rong picked up the pillow that was next to her and was about to smash it hard on Taozi's head when Yu Ying held her firmly in her arms.

"Waaah! Miss, what's wrong with you? Have you completely forgotten about my peach?"

Upon hearing what Taozi said, Yuying could no longer suppress her anger and glared at Taozi standing beside her.

"There's no one dead here, so why are you crying? Is it because your young lady has spoiled you too much that you've become so unruly?"

Or is this how you treat your mistress Xia Rong when we're not around?

But I ask you to adjust your attitude: you are the servant, and she is your master.

Your two personal identities are worlds apart!

While crying, Peach gently shook her head and reached out a hand to touch Xia Rong, but then heard a snap.

"What do you want to do? I'm telling you, from now on, stay away from her! You're the one who made her like this!"

"Don't you feel any remorse for this? It's all my fault for being blind and thinking you were a very smart and clever little girl. That's why I arranged for you to be with my daughter without any hesitation."

Upon hearing Yu Ying's words, Mu Long was astonished! At the same time, he suddenly understood why the previously intelligent Xia Rong had become so erratic.

She became mentally unstable because she had endured things she shouldn't have had to over the years.

Seeing Xia Rong like this, Mu Long really wanted to go up and hug her, but he no longer had the courage to do so.

I felt that doing this again would be overstepping my bounds! Because I no longer wanted to care about Xia Rong as much!

All he wants now is to live out the rest of his life peacefully and quietly; he doesn't want to care about anything else.

When Xia Di stabbed him with a poison-laced knife, he was unconscious for a week. When he awoke, he learned that he would never be able to stand again. A surge of resentment welled up inside him, and he desperately wanted to destroy Xia Di with his own hands.

But his ingrained upbringing wouldn't allow Mu Long to do such a thing! He had asked himself again and again, what if he got his revenge?

Ultimately, I can't change the fact that I've stood up again! And is it really okay to live in hatred all the time?

My previous knowledge told me that hatred would only destroy everything I had. However, the best way to get revenge on someone is to silently become better than them.

Therefore, from now on, I dare not continue to be depressed! Instead, I will cheer up and do more activities that will help my legs recover.

I'm striving to be able to stand up again someday! Zhuzhu has been encouraging herself to do more exercises that are beneficial for the recovery of her legs.

But during that period, I was always self-destructive! I couldn't listen to anyone's advice and felt that my life would be bleak from then on.

During that period, I started drinking day and night, and I was so decadent that even I was disgusted by my own appearance! Not to mention my mother and elder brother.

"Oh dear! Yuying, what's wrong with you? Why are you so angry with Taozi all of a sudden? Are you feeling really bad seeing your precious daughter suddenly acting so crazy?"

When Yu Ying heard these questions from her elder sister, she finally couldn't hold back and burst into tears in Yu Qin's arms.

"Why was I so weak and incompetent back then, elder sister? Why couldn't I stand firmly by Xia Rong's side? As a result, she has suffered so much over the years."

Do you know how Xia Rong reacted when she found out that her mother was still alive?

"Little sister, if you could do it all over again, I think you would still choose the same answer based on your past experiences!"

"Because at that time we were just ordinary people, we had no power whatsoever to fight against the Xia Emperor who already held great power!"

"Elder sister, how could I not understand what you're saying? But do you know what I regret most right now?"

Yuqin felt heartbroken when she saw her younger sister crying uncontrollably in her arms.

Previously, she was the only person in this cold world who shared the same bloodline with him, but due to a moment of negligence, he failed to protect her firmly under his protection.

She has suffered the pain of separation from her own flesh and blood for so many years! She missed her two sons terribly after only a month without seeing them, let alone her younger sister who hadn't seen her daughter for over a decade.

How unbearable must that feel? I imagine my little sister has been living in endless pain all these years.
