Chapter 734 - 356 Relatives_1
The next day, light snow still flurried outside in the biting cold wind.
Qian Yixiu had just soothed her well-fed twin brothers to sleep when Lady Cui arrived.
Lady Cui was dressed in a black brocade cloak with colorful random floral patterns, a dark red satin embroidered jacket with woollen edges, and a deep purple horse-faced skirt, looking radiant, dignified, and regally elegant. If one overlooked the slightly slackened skin, it felt as if the beautiful and cheerful young woman of many years ago had returned.
Confidence truly is an indescribable little thing, lost by some, who search for it their whole lives in vain. Yet sometimes, it can be recaptured through an unexpected opportunity, inspiring one to rise afresh.
Lady Cui, once as directionless as a headless fly from her setbacks, had astonishingly regained her footing, thanks to having twin grandsons.
Without love, there is kinship; without a natal family, there are grandchildren. There’s always hope.
Lady Cui couldn’t contain the joy in her eyes as she gazed at her grandsons by the crib.
After she finished looking, Qian Yixiu reported on the twins’ progress over the past day and night and then said, "Mother-in-law, the master mentioned yesterday that the Crown Prince is heartbroken over the tragic death of his sister and is in deep sorrow. He would like to invite him to dinner tonight, so we can offer our consolation. I was thinking, it would be even better to also invite my mother and Little Master Hongji..."
Lady Cui nodded, "Ah, we also heard about it from the father-in-law last night. Princess Jiaqian and her daughter are truly pitiful. I glimpsed Princess Jiaqian as a child; she was indeed a gentle and pretty little girl. The Tan family must have no conscience to ill-treat such a good person." She wiped away a tear and continued, "Alright, I will have the kitchen prepare a vegetarian feast and ask the External Affairs Office to send an invitation to the Qian family."
