Her daughter's determination brought back memories of the eldest lady.
Sometimes, people's words cannot hide the truth.
All kinds of memories from the past flashed through the eldest lady's mind like lights and shadows.
Is Lin Da loyal to the Xiao family?
Are you sincere to yourself?
No need for Lin Wanjie's words to verify.
However, Yu Jiaoer's death seemed to have a much greater impact on Lin Da than she expected.
Although the man was not seen crying, the depth between his brows and eyes was an obvious change.
Even Xiao Yuchan noticed this change, how could he escape the eyes of the thirty-year-old lady?
At this moment, the man standing on the top of the mountain was a bit unfamiliar. He took off his clothes as a servant of the Xiao family and wore simple linen clothes with a gloomy expression.
The eldest lady used to speak to Lin Da in a commanding tone.
But now, I can no longer use command-like words to say anything to Lin Da.
It seems that the status between the two people has become equal, but in fact, there is an inexplicable barrier and distance between the two people.
The eldest lady opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but when faced with the somewhat unfamiliar Mrs. Lin, she finally had no words.
After experiencing a catastrophe, the Xiao family is in dire straits and waiting to be revitalized.
The Xiao family needs Lin Da, but it must be Lin Da.
This time I came to Daqingshan mainly to find my daughter.
It doesn't matter whether the Xiao family has a master or not, but it cannot be without a daughter.
The master is dead and there is no man to inherit the Xiao family. Xiao Yuchan must take charge and become the new head of the Xiao family.
After all, only Xiao Yuchan has the surname Xiao.
"Lin Da, since you have your own ideas, Madam won't force you. She will come over to see you in a few days."
"Um."
Lin Wanjie answered simply.
Xiao Yuchan was a little reluctant to give up. She looked at the house not far away and was not even a shelf. She was a little worried: "How can Mr. Lin live alone in this wilderness?"
"Yuchan, let's go."
"mother!"
The eldest lady said softly: "Go home first, mother will always have a way to get him back."
Hearing this, Xiao Yuchan felt much relieved, reluctantly looked back at Lin Wanjie, and finally went down the mountain reluctantly.
Watching the mother and daughter leave, there was no one else at the top of the mountain.
Lin Wanjie sat cross-legged in front of Yu Jiaoer's grave, and finally couldn't bear to hold her head and cry.
…
The Xiao family is in dire straits, and so is the whole of Hangzhou.
The people remember the White Lotus Sect and even more the saint who brought hope.
On this day, all patients in Hangzhou received proper treatment.
With no new cases, every household has emerged from grief, found hope, and yearned for tomorrow.
The market was bustling again, and merchants and vendors began to make a living.
Mingyue Tower by the West Lake is open for business. I don't know how long it will take for the newly promoted courtesans to reach the level of glory that Yu Jiaoer once had.
On West Lake Street, a dozen members of the White Lotus Sect carried a huge lotus sedan and passed through the crowd.
The people of Hangzhou went out to welcome her, shouting: "Your Majesty the Holy Lady."
Lu Wan'er put on an ethereal snow-white dress. The skirt was covered with lotus flowers, and the gauze moved with the wind like swaying petals, unconventional and spotless.
The former children of the world, after being carefully dressed up with rouge and gouache, have become more beautiful and attractive than before.
A little cinnabar between her eyebrows and a pair of emotionless cold eyes, combined with her snow-like skin and white skirt, give people a sense of sanctity and inviolable nobility.
Lu Waner never dreamed that this day would come to her!
Stand high and enjoy the admiration of the world.
Everyone here prays for the saint from the bottom of their hearts.
The whole of Hangzhou seemed to have changed, and everyone in the alleys could hear the feeling of happiness after the disaster.
However, Lu Waner did not feel proud or happy at all when surrounded by people.
On the contrary, Lu Waner felt a heavy sense of mission in her heart as she stood condescendingly and watched the people cheering for joy.
Lu Wan'er remembered the time when she and Lin Wanjie were recuperating in the small thatched cottage.
Lin Wanjie said something inadvertently.
"Water can carry a boat and also capsize it."
Now, Lu Waner was standing high, as if she were sitting on a ship supported by the common people, swaying and making people feel uneasy.
"I never expected that one day I would see the White Lotus Sect enter Hangzhou and swagger through the city!"
Outside Prince Jing's Mansion, the prince looked at the surging crowds on the other side of the West Lake, feeling a little reluctant but helpless.
A heavy punch hit the stone lion. There was a burst of sand and dust flying in front of the palace gate, and leaves fell to the ground.
What the prince did not expect was that the prefect Xu Hua was actually related to the White Lotus Sect!
Prince Jing felt that he had been dealt a severe blow.
It was originally thought that the prefect adopted the White Lotus Sect's method for the sake of the people of Hangzhou, but it turned out to be an inside job.
Now that the hearts of the people in Hangzhou are in the hands of the White Lotus Sect, the magistrate Xu Huazang no longer hid, and received the senior officials of the White Lotus Sect. Not only did he hold a banquet, but he also showed a very warm appearance.
And Prince Jing himself...
"I am the one who truly cares about the people of Hangzhou. Why am I being cast aside by the people of Hangzhou?"
As he muttered, the hand holding the stone lion sank deeply into the stone, and he just grabbed a five-fingerprint on it.
at this time.
The eldest lady returned to the Xiao Mansion with her daughter and all the servants of the Xiao family.
At this time, the largest mansion in Hangzhou experienced a plague, as if it had encountered the end of the world.
The place is full of mess, chaos and depression.
The bonsai was shattered all over the ground, the ground of the courtyard was covered with sand, the doors of the hall and living room were open, and you could see from a distance that some of the previous porcelain, tables and chairs in the room had been moved away.
I don’t know whether it was a servant of the Xiao family or a wandering outsider.
The number of people in the Xiao Mansion dropped from nearly forty to only seven or eight.
For a time, everyone felt heavy in their hearts and couldn't cheer up.
"Ma'am, what should we do now?"
The eldest lady had never encountered this situation before and shook her head in distress.
"It would be great if Brother Lin was here. Brother Lin would definitely have a way to separate the Xiao family."
Speaking of Mr. Lin, the servants and maids became more energetic and spoke one after another.
"Yes, Brother Lin is the most capable. Madam, you can't let Brother Lin go. You have to find a way to invite him back."
The eldest lady was pondering at the door, and suddenly there was movement inside the Xiao Mansion.
A woman with a haggard face and a big belly stood there, holding on to the courtyard wall.
"Sister, have you all recovered?"
"younger sister……"
"Second Madam!"
Everyone was confused.
Everyone forgot about the second lady.
Jian Niang locked herself in the courtyard on weekdays, and her servants did not dare to approach her at will.
Life is self-sufficient, and there is almost no sense of presence in the Xiao family.
When malaria spread, Jian Niang protected herself very well and did not see anyone.
Officers and soldiers came to search the Xiao family, but Jian Niang hid in a remote courtyard without anyone noticing.
So until now, Jian Niang has been living in her own courtyard and has become a forgotten person.
"Sister, are you...are you and the child okay?"
Jian Niang frowned and rubbed her belly: "Everything is fine."
Almost no servants knew that the second lady was pregnant.
After hearing the first lady's words, I noticed the second lady's belly.
"Oh my god, the second lady is pregnant. She is the father's son and the hope of the Xiao family!"
"The Xiao family has an heir."
