Chapter 497: Don’t Want to Be a Bad Guy (4)_1
Guests echoed in agreement.
"Light the candles," Lin Ziyin instructed Hong Ying.
"Yes, miss," Hong Ying responded, lighting several colored candles from a wooden box, exactly six.
"Madam, quickly close your eyes to make a wish," a group of young ladies and wives urged Lady Li in curiosity, completely forgetting their reserve and social standing.
The scene was very lively for a moment.
Looking at the old lady making her wish with her eyes closed and the six lit candles, Lin Ziyin felt many emotions. So the old lady was only sixty years old, but her life seemed to be almost at its end. No wonder people often say that few people live past seventy.
On the old lady’s journey to the Northern Land, she encountered heavy snowstorms and even overturned her carriage. She narrowly escaped death to reach the Northern Land. She survived but contracted a severe illness in that severe snowstorm. If it weren’t for the tireless efforts of Master Hui Zhen from Ding’an Temple, she might have passed away years ago.
However, Lady Li was unaware that her life was almost over, a secret also unknown to the others in the Marquis Residence.
