The old lady raised her hand to touch her forehead, frowning and looking annoyed:
"Oh, I'm old and have to be controlled every day. There's really no excuse for that."
Several people in the hall burst out laughing when they heard this. While they were chatting and laughing, a servant came in and reported that Zhou Yuexue was here. The old lady called him in with a smile.
"As soon as I entered the yard, I heard laughter. It was such a blessing to be surrounded by my great-aunt's children and grandchildren."
After everyone greeted them, the old lady greeted Zhou Yuexue to sit down and said with a smile:
"How can I be so lucky? I just go out for a day and I have to ask Qi Momo to keep an eye on me while I eat. I don't have any freedom at all."
Zhou Yuexue: "My younger brothers and sisters are also worried about your health. Yuexue is very happy to see you, but she pretends to be disgusted with you."
After chatting and joking with the old lady for a while, Zhou Yuexue turned to look at Lin Jinyan beside him:
"The two sisters were out of the house the day before yesterday and have never been seen together. I heard from my aunt that today you are going to Fanyin Temple to pay homage to your aunt. I also wanted to go and offer incense to my aunt, so I came here early. I wonder if it’s inconvenient for me to accompany you?”
Lin Jinyan's smile never diminished: "It's all my family and it's no inconvenience. Thank you, cousin."
The old lady smiled and said, "Sisters must be so affectionate and affectionate. After all, Yuexue has grown up and is a lot more sensible."
Zhou Yuexue looked at the old lady with a smile and said sincerely:
"Yuexue was ignorant when she was young and made many mistakes. Thanks to her aunt's guidance, she was able to understand and avoid the wrong path. My aunt and uncle were magnanimous. Not only did they not abandon Yuexue, they gave Yuexue a chance to correct herself. They also helped her father. Yuexue is really grateful for being transferred to Kyoto..."
He was crying as he spoke, and finally shed tears.
The old lady comforted her and said, "It's normal to make mistakes when you're young. Don't be afraid if you make a mistake. You're still a good kid if you can repent and change."
Zhou Yuexue burst into tears when she heard this, and said many words of regret and gratitude.
Lin Jinyan and Lin Jinan across from each other looked at each other, then lowered their eyes to the ground in tacit understanding, listening to Zhou Yuexue's chanting and beating.
The ability to cry at will is not something that everyone can achieve.
Seeing Zhou Yuexue still wiping away tears and sobbing, Lin Jinan put down the teacup and said calmly:
"Grandma, aunt and cousin are expected to arrive soon. If we delay any longer, we will miss the time. If cousin is still sad, just rest in the house first. We will be back tomorrow."
Zhou Yuexue wiped away her tears immediately after hearing this: "It's all my fault for losing my composure and wasting time. Now that I have nothing to do, I will go with you."
Lin Jinan stood up and said, "I think my cousin still needs to freshen up. I'll go to the front yard and talk to my dad first, so that he won't have to wait around after cleaning up."
Seeing Lin Jinan bowing and going out after speaking, Zhou Yuexue couldn't sit still anymore. She quickly wiped her face with the wet handkerchief handed over by the maid, without bothering to put on makeup, and followed Lin Jinyan and Lin Wanrong to bow to the old lady and leave. .
After everyone left, the old lady sighed:
"Yue Xue, this child, has indeed improved a lot in the past few years. He behaves in a moderate manner and has a peaceful temper. He is no longer extreme in his actions. He is just becoming more cautious and cautious. He is always thinking about the wrong things he did in the past."
Qi Momo: "I am pampered by you here, but even if I am afraid that I will leave my elders waiting outside like this when I go out, I will cry regardless of the occasion. Outsiders can't help but think more."
The old lady nodded: "You're right, but it's not easy for me to control her now. A few years ago, she lived at home, and I had to be entrusted by her elders to discipline her. Now, somehow, with her More polite but less intimate."
