Chapter 204 - 204 203 Language and Smiles Abound
?Chapter 204: Chapter 203: Language and Smiles Abound Chapter 204: Chapter 203: Language and Smiles Abound Chu Lingxuan seemed to snap out of the resentment, glanced at Chen Afu, and continued, “The child had lost so much weight that she was skin and bones, curled up on the ground. She sat there, just staring blankly at the swallow’s nest under the eaves. If it were not for her dirty little face, I could tell straight away how much she looked like me, and how much she bore a resemblance to my mother… All of her misfortune might perhaps be due to her looks… In that moment, I truly felt, this child was my daughter, my flesh and blood… The fledgling swallows in the nest chirped a few times, and the child broke into a small smile.”
The maids and attendants nearby scoffed and said the little fool even knew how to laugh. One of them approached her, saying, “Little fool, it’s time to drink.” She then brought the child to her mouth a tea bowl that she had drunk from. The child seemed to be dying of thirst, and she emptied the bowl in just a few sips… I was livid, stormed over to the woman, kicked her away, and carried the child out of the Princess Mansion.”
That woman later sent someone over to the Marquis’ Mansion to take back the child, but my grandfather took the child and wailed in front of His Majesty. His Majesty and the Empress Dowager reprimanded that woman, even grounding her for three months, and only then was the child finally freed from the Princess Mansion. But there was never a moment of peace back at the Marquis’ Mansion, so I had to take the child with me to Dingzhou…”
Chen Afu had already been crying incessantly, feeling sorry for Yan’er.
She blurted out, “What about your father? You weren’t home and your grandfather could not see, but your father was right there in the Princess Mansion. Did he not care about his own granddaughter? ”
Chu Lingxuan let out a cold laugh. “My father? He seems to be affectionate, but in reality, he could not be more heartless. The child bears the blood of the Ma family, my father would never like her, he probably had never even given her a glance before. It’s likely that he unintentionally saw or heard that the child looks like my mother, and so that woman tormented her so much that she eventually sent me that letter.”
“Lady Ma is the mother of the princess, and the Ma family are her kin. Uh… does your wife have a blood relationship with the princess?” Chen Afu asked curiously.
