The third lady gave her some food, "Eat more."
"Amei." The stepmother put down her chopsticks, "You have relatives here, so just stay here. The mountains and valleys are poor and difficult, why go back and endure hardship? I can go back alone, so don't follow me back."
Amei is the nickname for the daughter in that place.
The third lady never told her adoptive mother her true identity and real name.
"It's good to go back and be quiet." The third lady's mind was full of thoughts and thoughts, "Eat quickly, we will talk about these things in a few days."
"Nothing is more important than family members." The adoptive mother sighed, knowing that she had no knowledge and could not convince her. However, she was willing to go to Beijing, but she still couldn't let go.
She didn't even know what her daughter had gone through, but those things were in the past, and people couldn't stay stuck in the past.
"Whose village does this belong to? It looks very noble. Just now we saw those fishing people outside. They were all dressed in rich and noble clothes."
The third lady was silent for a moment and then said softly: "It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess."
When the adoptive mother heard this, she was so frightened that she almost couldn't sit still, "Your Highness, Your Majesty?"
She has never even seen the county magistrate in her life. To her, His Highness the Crown Prince is simply a person who is as far away as possible. He is an existence like the Lord of Heaven. How can you say that you can see him when you see him?
The third lady held her hand and said softly: "Foster mother, don't be afraid, they are all good people."
"They..." the stepmother's teeth chattered, "they must be good people, they must be good people."
She swallowed, feeling that she could go back to the village and show off to the people she met this time in Beijing.
But she definitely wouldn't show off, and no one would believe her if she told her.
"What do you do in your family?" The stepmother thought that she must be a high-ranking official in her family, otherwise how could she live in the prince's courtyard?
The third lady then told her, "The Crown Princess is my husband's niece. Please call me aunt. As for my husband's family, my father-in-law is the Prime Minister of the court."
The adoptive mother's heart was beating loudly. Oh my god, I never dared to do something so big. She actually accepted the prime minister's daughter-in-law as her adopted daughter?
She didn't dare to say anything for a while, looking at her daughter intently, feeling that she suddenly distanced herself from her.
The third lady was still holding her hand, tears welling up in her eyes, "No matter who I was before, I am just your daughter now. Please don't dislike me, stepmother."
"Silly child, how could I dislike you? Don't dislike your adoptive mother." Seeing her crying, her adoptive mother immediately felt distressed. When the child was rescued, she almost died and stayed by her side. For so long, she has been serving her like her own mother. The difference in status shocked her, but after all, she was the daughter she loved dearly.
The third lady smiled, but her eyes were filled with tears. The only person in the world who didn't dislike her was her stepmother.
"Foster mother, we will go back in a few days. This capital city is not the place for us to stay. There is so much right and wrong here that one could drown in saliva."
The adoptive mother looked at her for a long time and sighed, "Saliva can drown people, but those who drown are those who are weak. The adoptive mother has no experience and does not know what you have experienced in the past, but you live this life. , What can't you get over? As time goes by, you can forget about it slowly, but once your family and relatives are lost, it is difficult to find them again. "
"Foster mother, you don't know many things."
"The adoptive mother doesn't know, but the adoptive mother knows the feeling of loneliness and misery. These years, the adoptive mother has been living alone, with no hope all day long, and no one around her to talk to. My daughter, the adoptive mother will one day be... If you go back with me, you will really be alone from now on."
The third lady smiled reluctantly, "It's good to be alone."
The stepmother sighed again, knowing that she couldn't say anything, so she stopped talking.
