Chapter 177 - 142 Visiting_1
The cabin fell silent again, and Qian Yixiu, extremely weary, felt no trace of sleepiness.
She lay on the bed, recalling the harrowing events of the past two days, events that had almost all gone awry despite careful planning. Fortunately, it was a close shave, and she had managed to bring back a life spared. Had she been sacrificed, her young mother would have cried herself to death, Grandfather Sangui would have died of rage, and this family would have been finished.
It would have also implicated two innocent outsiders. As Old Uncle Zhang had instructed, it might have even led to a miscarriage of justice. Poor Wan Dazhong might have been sentenced, if not to be executed after the autumn harvest, possibly to banishment thousands of miles away.
This was a painful lesson, she thought to herself that from now on she must consider this family and these loved ones who cherished her before taking any risks. Another thing was the necessity of meticulous planning in handling matters and to never rely on luck, perhaps even having a contingency plan for emergencies...
It was nearly dusk when Cheng Yue finally emerged from the east wing and looked into the distance from the doorway. Seeing a few people walking toward their home from the village, she went back into the cabin.
Qian Yixiu handed her the handkerchief. Cheng Yue adored the flowers embroidered on it and exclaimed, "The flowers are beautiful, it’s not Suzhou embroidery, it seems like Sichuan embroidery." Then, she studied the handkerchief carefully.
Her mother’s personality was well-suited to being an expert, perhaps even a top fashion designer or the editor-in-chief of a fashion magazine if she had been born in a previous life. Regretfully born in this era, she dared not even step out of the rural courtyard.
Reaching out, Qian Yixiu covered her mother’s eyes and said, "It’s getting dark now, Mother should stop looking, it’ll hurt your eyes."
While the mother and daughter were enjoying their tender moment, Qian Yeejin’s voice was heard, "Father, Grandmother, my Great-grandpa, Great-grandma, Big Grandpa, and Second Grandpa are here."
