After dinner, Leng Xiao came over.
She didn't bring anyone with her and wanted to talk to her third aunt alone.
The third lady also guessed that she would come, so after eating, she changed into clean clothes and waited to see her.
As soon as Leng Xiao arrived, she knelt down to pay homage, "A commoner woman pays homage to the Crown Princess."
The foster mother was also there, and hurriedly knelt down, "A commoner's woman... a commoner's woman pays homage to the Crown Princess."
The stepmother was so nervous that she almost held her breath.
Leng Xiao first stepped forward to help his aunt and said gently: "Old man, there is no need to give such a big gift. Get up quickly."
When the adoptive mother saw that the Crown Princess came to help her in person, she became even more nervous and could not speak. She held back the tears of excitement in her eyes and her lips trembled a few times, "Yes... yes."
Leng Xiao helped the third lady up again, looked at her, and sighed softly, "Auntie, do you want to disown me?"
The third lady turned her head and wiped her tears, "What did the Crown Princess say? I am just a woman from a mountain village, how can I be the Crown Princess's aunt?"
Leng Xiao helped her sit down and said, "If you don't admit it, you won't admit it. Anyway, it will be whatever makes you feel comfortable."
The stepmother knew that they had something to say, so she felt blessed and hurried out.
Inside, she didn't even dare to breathe.
There were only Leng Xiao and the third lady in the room. Leng Xiao could not always control the atmosphere of a private conversation, especially since this conversation also carried the expectations of the Min family.
She was also more afraid that inappropriate words would remind her third aunt of those unbearable things.
Any woman who experiences something like that will become fragile and sensitive.
If she passes this psychological threshold, she will become stronger, but this will take time.
The third lady put her hands on her knees, motionless, like a stone sculpture.
Leng Xiao felt that it was better to go straight to the point, "The person who hurt you is already dead. He died miserably."
The third lady's eyes were suddenly filled with hatred, and her hands were holding on to her dress, twisting it almost to pieces.
"I know you may not feel relieved if you kill him, but if you push all your relatives out the door because of this matter, then he will really harm you for the rest of your life, and also harm your third uncle and Hanmo."
The third lady only cried and said nothing, but it was obvious that she was very resistant to such a topic.
She hoped no one would mention it.
However, even if no one mentioned it, she was always thinking about it and could not stop at any time. The most terrifying thing was late at night, when she couldn't sleep in bed, those nightmares would sweep over and drown her.
How could she give up her husband and children? But she had no choice. Returning in this state would only drag everyone into the abyss.
"Auntie, I know I can't eliminate your inner demons with just a few words, but we can give it a try. If it doesn't work, think of other ways, okay?"
The third lady nodded, "Yes!"
Her tears were forced back. She lost control of her momentary moment, but she quickly controlled it. She still couldn't talk about this matter in front of anyone.
That was something she couldn't bear.
When Leng Xiao heard this, he knew that she didn't want to talk, so he didn't force her. It could be seen from the dark circles under her eyes that she hadn't slept well.
Insomnia is very torturous.
She drank three bowls of soothing tea during the day before falling asleep for a short while, and she was still extremely tired after days of traveling and traveling, so she could fall asleep.
And if I slept for a while during the day, I might be up all night tonight.
Leng Xiao knew that a person in a bad state would be troubled by inner demons all the time, so he said: "Auntie, I have some pills. You can take one before going to bed every night. It can help you sleep peacefully. Only when you are asleep will you not have a bee in one's bonnet."
The third aunt then raised her head and said, "Can it really help you sleep?"
Leng Xiao was already prepared when she came, took out two sleeping pills, walked over and put them in her palm, "Take one pill every night. If you still don't fall asleep after taking one pill, take the second pill." .”
