Chapter 147: The Dependable Outsider Arrives during the Second Watch(2)_1
"Mother, it’s time for your medicine."
The door curtain was lifted, and the eldest daughter, Sanchun Gao, came in with a bowl of black medicine. Her pretty little face was full of fatigue and undisguised anxiety.
The woman lying on the pillow looked weakly at her daughter and asked, "Sanchun, where did you get the money to buy medicine? And, your father, how did he agree to let you girls out?"
Sanchun sat at the edge of her mother’s Kang, raising her head a little higher while feeding her the medicine, she detailed the events of last night.
After listening, a smile appeared on the woman’s pale face, "So, it was that Miss who hurt that beast Gao Jia and saved us mother and daughter, right?"
"Exactly!" Sanchun responded.
Upon hearing this, the woman put her hand over her forehead and said, "Thank heavens, thanks to the help of a noble person, we were able to escape. Otherwise, I fear I would have been killed by that beast yesterday, and in a few days, you might have been forced to marry that bastard son of Magistrate Li to be a concubine!"
Sanchun comforted her, "Mother, let’s not talk about those upsetting things. Are we not well now? Rest and recover from your injury and once you are better, we will go to the Capital to join uncle."
Speaking of their future life, a look of anticipation slowly broke through on Sanchun’s small face. She had endured years of torment from Lady Bai and nearly desired death. Finally free, she was determined to live a good life and dutifully serve her mother!
"Yes, it will be good once we leave here." The woman nodded and closed her eyes in exhaustion.
Over a decade of love and mutual support had been ruined by a vulgar prostitute. Her life was nothing but a joke, devoid of any meaning or value. If not for her two daughters, she would wish to sleep forever, never waking up to face the cruel reality!
"Mother, Sister, the woman who saved us yesterday is here again!"
