Lin Wanrong was stunned when she heard this. After taking a closer look at the woman, her heart beat uncontrollably and she subconsciously moved closer to Lin Jinyan:
"Yan'er...this lady...she is...is..."
Lin Jinyan stood up, held Lin Wanrong's hand and said warmly:
"Sister, although you haven't said it before, what daughter wouldn't want her own mother. I think my sister would also like to see what the person who gave birth to her looks like, so she took it upon herself to find and settle my wife here."
When Lin Wanrong turned to look at the woman again, her eyes were filled with tears:
"You...are my mother?"
When the woman heard this, her tears instantly burst into tears. She quickly stepped forward and grabbed Lin Wanrong's arm and cried loudly:
"Rong'er, my Ron'er, my mother has missed you so hard these years."
"Mother? Are you really my mother?"
With unstoppable tears in their eyes, the mother and daughter looked hazily at the figure in front of them, crying so hard that they both felt like a big dream, but the warm body temperature and touch of each other in their hands were so real.
"Yes, I am the mother who gave birth to you but never raised you. I am sorry for you..."
"Mother, mother, I don't blame you. I understand. You want me to survive. There is nothing you can do. I know..."
Seeing the mother and daughter hugging each other and crying, Hong Jiu looked slightly moved, and Bai Zhi couldn't help but have red eyes.
Lin Jinyan waved to a few people in the hall, led a few people out and closed the door, leaving the hall to the mother and daughter who had not seen each other for many years.
Seeing Lin Jinyan standing in the courtyard, Aunt Yu hurriedly ordered the maid to serve some refreshments in the pavilion.
"Miss, Madam and daughter have recognized each other and have been chatting for a while. Tea has been prepared for you in the pavilion. Just sit down and wait."
Lin Jinyan followed the instructions and entered the pavilion, sat down and said with a smile:
"Thank you Aunt Yu. Let's sit down and talk. I heard from Lin Shun that you used to be an errand in the palace. Now that you come to this small house, I have wronged you. If you have any shortages, just ask for it."
Aunt Yu bent her waist slightly and said with a smile on her face:
"Thank you for the compliment, Miss. There is no place for me to sit in front of the master. I am responsible for serving others and obeying them wherever they come from. I have to do my best when I receive an errand. How can I feel wronged. Miss, don't worry about it. If you have anything to do, just ask."
Lin Jinyan held the tea cup and smiled softly:
"Aunt Yu seems to know a lot about things. I feel relieved that you are in charge of this place. Then I won't be polite to you. We can't come to this house every day, and we have to rely on you to take care of it."
"Miss Xie is trustworthy and she will take good care of her. Just give her your orders, miss."
"You probably know where Madam is coming from. Don't let some blind people outside disturb Madam. If any servants are disrespectful to Madam, disobedient or gossipy, just report it to Lin Shun. I will I will replace you with someone who can listen to you. Don’t be mean when it comes to food, madam. I will have money delivered to you every month.”
Aunt Yu agreed one by one. After Lin Jinyan finished drinking tea, she stood up and said:
"I think sister and the others have to talk, so I can't feel at ease waiting for them here. I have a shop nearby, so I just went over to take a look. Guier, please stay here and wait for sister. Let her stay in peace. I'll come back later."
Gui'er readily agreed, and after Lin Jinyan asked Aunt Yu who was escorting her out to stop, she took Bai Zhi, Hongjiu and several servants out of the house.
He stood at the door, looked around and said, "The shop is in the alley next door, and the carriage is parked here, just a few steps away."
