Female Novel
Chapter 59
Yun Muqing sneezed; the bone-chilling coldness made her shiver all over, and she nearly passed outseveral times. But when she thought of why she was here, of poor Chu Feng about to suffer revenge atthe hands of that maniacal psycho Li Ziyang, a chill ran down her spine and her pretty eyes filled withdetermination once again.
“Yun Muqing, how could you back down at a moment like this? Chu Feng has helped you so manytimes, so how can you watch him be tortured by that psycho Li Ziyang as revenge? That responsibilityis yours to bear and yours alone. Even if you can’t cancel the engagement, you must beg Grandpa totell Li Ziyang that Chu Feng must not be involved. Hold on! Just a little bit longer and you’ll be able tomeet Grandpa! I’m sure of it!” Yun Muqing told herself, remembering the day she was banished fromthis house five years ago and how similar it was to her current situation.
It had also been raining heavily that day, and the cold was no less harsh. That day, she’d just givenbirth to Duo Duo and knelt outside the Yun manor in absolute grief, begging them to let her feed herdaughter some milk, to let her innocent daughter live. The heavy rain that day blurred her vision, butshe could see the true colors of those people perfectly and to this day, she kept that sight within herheart.
“Heh, this is no big deal. If push comes to shove, I’ll just kneel one more time.” Yun Muqing lifted herpretty face and fixed her gaze upon the imposing manor, allowing the rain to sting her face as itpleased. After all, motherhood toughens even the gentlest ladies.
Amidst the storm battering the Yun Peak Villa, a woman dressed as a servant ran out into the raintoward her. “Miss, why are you still standing here? You’re going to catch a cold in this heavy rain.Please put on some clothes,” the woman said emphatically, then hastily draped a jacket over YunMuqing’s shoulders.
She was Yun Muqing’s former nanny, Mrs. Zhao, and she was one of the few people who cared aboutYun Muqing and Duo Duo in the entire villa. Yun Muqing instinctively held onto the jacket, shivering asher ice-cold fingers warmed up. “Thank you, Mrs. Zhao. Has Grandpa agreed to see me?” Yun Muqingasked through chattering teeth, her petite face expressed no intention of leaving.
Mrs. Zhao’s heart hurt for Yun Muqing, and she sighed hesitantly. “Miss, why torture yourself like this?You know that once the Master makes up his mind, not even an eight-horse-carriage can take it back.You’ll never be able to call off your engagement with the Li family. Please go home, Miss. The Masterwill never see you, and what if something happens to you with this rain? What will Duo Duo do? Canyou bear to see her lose her mother, after growing up without a father?”
Mrs. Zhao’s words sent a pang through Yun Muqing’s heart. But then Chu Feng’s determined faceappeared in her mind, and she doubled down with gritted teeth as she said, “I’d never forgive myself if Ileave just like this. If Grandpa won’t see me, then I’ll stand here until he does.” Her personal grudgesshould never have been the responsibility of an innocent man like Chu Feng, especially when it cameto their revenge on her.
“But...” Mrs. Zhao found herself speechless. She knew what her young mistress was like, how hergentle appearance concealed an impossibly big and determined heart. If she didn’t get what shewanted, then she’d never give up this easily. novelbin
Mrs. Zhao seemed to hesitate, then she made up her mind and said, “Fine, then I’ll leverage whateverdignity I have left and ask the Master if he can see you. After all, I’ve served him for over twenty years,and he’s always taken good care of us old servants.”
Yun Muqing gripped Mrs. Zhao’s hand and thanked her profusely, “Thank you so much, Mrs. Zhao—”
“Don’t mention it, Miss. Back when my useless boy stole the Yun family’s money for gambling, we’dhave been beaten to death if it weren’t for your kindness and your repayment of our debts.” Mrs. Zhaogot so touched, she choked up even while she wiped her tears and dashed toward the Yun manor.
It was then, a loud creak was heard...
