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

Chapter 430: Chapter 429: Alive

Several ice basins were placed in the corner of the room.

Madam Wu disliked the heat; every summer, this room would be quite cool.

Jiang Yunuan originally felt comfortable too, but now, she felt as if she were standing under the blazing sun at noon, with sweat all over her forehead, neck, and back.

More than eight years had passed. She thought she had already let go, and aside from occasionally recalling things about Mu Liankang, those were memories that were more nostalgic than longing.

The feelings from the past, like the most beautiful flower in her memory, she had hidden deep in her heart.

Maybe during midnight dreams, she would think of Mu Liankang and shed some tears, but she truly had buried the past.

Now, she was already married.

Married to Mu Liancheng, had a docile daughter, matters about Mu Liankang were no longer related to her, but until this very moment, Jiang Yunuan suddenly realized, perhaps it was all her self-deception.

Mu Liankang had returned, what would he think of her? What would he say to her as his sister-in-law? And what should she say to him?

Jiang Yunuan didn’t know; she knew nothing, her mind was a mess.

Only by lowering her eyelids and shielding Sister Niang in front of everyone, could Jiang Yunuan force herself to sit here.

Outside, Mrs. Xu stumbled in, followed closely by Mrs. Lu who was trying to pull her but couldn’t manage.

Mrs. Xu’s face was smeared with tears or sweat, she almost collapsed in front of Madam Wu’s Arhat Bed, kneeling on the ground.

Lips trembling, Mrs. Xu wanted to ask personally, wanted to hear personally, but her body was shaking severely.

She couldn’t utter a word, only looked at Madam Wu with tear-filled eyes.

Some expectation, some nervousness, some urgency.

Madam Wu trembled as she extended her hand, touched Mrs. Xu’s cheek gently, and stroked: ”Lian Kang is still alive, he’s fine. Lian Xiao said, said his eldest brother has already married, has a pair of children, Yuan Ming’s wife, your daughter-in-law, your own grandchildren, now you have them, you have them.”

Tears instantly fell, Mrs. Xu lay by the bed of Madam Wu, holding the old lady’s hand, and sobbed loudly.

A heart-wrenching pain, and the sweetness of enduring hardship and finally coming through, Mrs. Xu’s cries were intensely sorrowful, making everyone in the room tear up.

Madam Wu’s tears hadn’t stopped, as Mrs. Xu cried, she sat up and embraced her, crying and saying: ”Silly child, silly child! This is fortunate, don’t trouble me, don’t trouble me!”

Mrs. Lu was also shedding tears.

She was happy for Mrs. Xu, the two sister-in-law had been truly alone these years, without husbands, without offspring, only being companions for each other.

Mrs. Lu knew Mrs. Xu was concerned about Mu Liankang, although Mrs. Xu seldom mentioned it, her eyes couldn’t deceive anyone.

Mrs. Xu being able to welcome her son back was exceedingly joyous news.

Happy as she was, deep down there was still a bit of loss.

In the future, she would be alone.

Her husband was the first to die, her son miscarried before birth, she was indeed the one without any hope.

Mrs. Zhou was attentive and quietly comforted Mrs. Lu for a while.

Mrs. Lu slightly shook her head, it was only that she was momentarily sad.

Compared to her, the real sadness in this house...

Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu suddenly remembered what Mu Yuanjing had said, she subconsciously glanced at the Lian Family.

The Lian Family’s eyes were red, face pale, out of sync with the surrounding emotions.

Jiang Yunuan was even more rigid, numbly coaxing Sister Niang.

”Lian Kang never returned because he was saved and forgot everything, he didn’t even know his own name, couldn’t return to the capital to find us,” Madam Wu explained, ”Lian Xiao said he still doesn’t remember...”

Mrs. Xu sobbed out: ”Doesn’t remember, then doesn’t remember, as long as he’s alive, nothing else matters, as long as he’s alive, that’s enough.”

Madam Wu thought the same, being alive was more important than anything else.

Jiang Yunuan’s body swayed slightly.

The news of Mu Liankang’s marriage had already exploded a hole in her heart, moreover, he already had children.

Jiang Yunuan couldn’t even imagine when Mu Liankang appeared before her with his wife and children, how should she face his wife.

And what Madam Wu said afterwards, had her completely stunned.

Didn’t remember?

Mu Liankang didn’t remember anything?

From now on, only she would remember the past alone, feel awkward alone, lost alone?

What was this supposed to be?

Subconsciously, Jiang Yunuan wanted to pinch Sister Niang’s leg, only if Sister Niang cried out would she be able to escape like last time.

Turning her gaze to the Lian Family, Jiang Yunuan stopped her hand.

She didn’t dare, last time she left crying because of Du Yunluo giving birth, the Lian Family wouldn’t have done anything to her, but if she messed up her mind because of Mu Liankang, the Lian Family wouldn’t turn a blind eye.

Except for enduring here, she had no other option.

Jiang Yunuan was tortured, The Lian Family didn’t fare much better.

Mu Liankang’s amnesia made her heart drop with a thud, The Lian Family couldn’t help but gasp.

Not remembering was good, not remembering was best, if Mu Liankang remembered everything, then their second branch would be in big trouble.

Madam Wu and Mrs. Xu cried together, Banqiao brought in water to serve the two, washing up their faces.

Only then did Madam Wu hand the letter to Mrs. Xu, saying: ”See for yourself, Lian Xiao wrote it all down.”

Mrs. Xu accepted, held it against the window’s light and examined it carefully.

She read with great attentiveness, not missing a single word, over and over three or four times, tears she couldn’t hold back welled up, she pressed the letter to her chest and cried again.

Mrs. Zhou also read the letter, though it didn’t cover as much as the secret note Mu Lianxiao had given her, it explained the main points.

She dabbed her eyes with a handkerchief, and said: ”Lian Kang escaped a great calamity, misfortune brings blessing, I’ll go offer incense to the ancestors.”

”Yes, yes!” Madam Wu nodded repeatedly, ”All thanks to the ancestors’ blessings.”

Mrs. Zhou went to the ancestral hall, Mrs. Lu comforted Mrs. Xu softly.

The Lian Family managed a smile, suppressing the mixed emotions, and said: ”It’s wonderful, truly a congratulation to my third sister-in-law for the good news about Lian Kang.”

Mrs. Xu looked at her, slowly nodding.

From beginning to end, Mrs. Xu didn’t spare Jiang Yunuan a glance.

The Lian Family estimated the hour, said: ”Madam, Sir should be back soon, I’ll go inform him, let him be happy too.”

Madam Wu nodded in agreement.

The Lian Family rose to take her leave, Jiang Yunuan carried Sister Niang and followed her out.

Leaving Baijie Hall, The Lian Family’s steps increasingly quickened, while walking, she rubbed her chest.

She was feeling intensely uncomfortable, a stifling energy pent up, she didn’t even have the mood to speak with Jiang Yunuan, just instructed Jiang Yunuan to return to Shangxin Courtyard and care for Sister Niang.

The Lian Family hurriedly entered Fengyu Courtyard, pulled aside the curtain, and walked into the side room; despite the cool breeze from the ice basin, she still felt suffocated.

She picked up the palm fan on the table and swung it earnestly, The Lian Family sat on the bamboo bed and asked Nanny Zhu: ”Has Master returned yet?”

Nanny Zhu didn’t know what was happening, just shook her head: ”Master has not yet returned.”

The Lian Family threw the palm fan aside, rubbed her burning chest, leaned on the bamboo bed, gasping heavily.
