Chapter 521 Meeting Between Mother-in-Law and Daughter-in-Law for the First Time (5)_1
Xia Zheng received the look from Lin Yuan and cracked a slight smile, shaking his head. He knew his mother best, and even after hearing about all this, it wasn’t a matter of looking down on them, it would be good enough if she could hold back her tears.
Xiao Linshuang sat on her older sister’s lap, and started telling Princess Anle about their family’s misfortunes, from Lady Liu’s childbirth to the early death of their first brother, from Lin Jiaxin breaking his leg to the point where he could now stand up, to Lin Yuan’s near-drowning in a pig cage at the hands of her grandparents and uncles, and now her transformation into the boss of two shops. She even spoke about Lin Yuan’s reputation as the Little Disaster Star, not omitting a single detail.
The little girl was young, and sometimes her words didn’t quite flow together, but Princess Anle not only showed no signs of irritation or impatience, she actually grew more and more excited. In the end, she had the poor little girl sit on her own lap.
Xia He and Qiu Ju stared wide-eyed at the woman holding the little girl tenderly, scarcely able to believe this was their madam.
"Ah."
After listening to Xiao Linshuang’s rambling story, Princess Anle let out a long sigh, "I really didn’t expect, that such things could happen."
Qiu Ju bowed and handed Princess Anle a handkerchief, softly consoling her, "Madam, not everyone is as kind-hearted as you. Didn’t my own father sell me just to feed my younger brother? Miss Xiaolin is actually quite fortunate. At least, she has a loving father, and a very capable older sister."
