As soon as Daohua left, the atmosphere around the dinner table became even more despondent.
Madam Yan remained silent for a long while before lifting her head to gaze at Yan Zhigao, “Daohua has hardly cried since she was a child. There was a time when she was helping her third granduncle gather Daozi and fell into the ridge, dislocating her foot. Because she was afraid that the third granduncle’s family would feel guilty, she bit through the pain without making a sound. Yet today, her eyes turned red…”
Upon hearing this, Madam Li could not hold back any longer and tears began to spin in her eyes. She, who had always valued peace and was willing to yield in favor of it, began to harbor resentment toward Concubine Lin.
Had it not been for her, why would her daughter suffer such grievances and scolding?
Yan Zhigao also felt uncomfortable. He had not wanted to scold his eldest daughter, but her behavior just now was indeed unreasonable.
Madam Yan looked toward Madam Li, “Go and see how Daohua is doing. That girl is stubborn. Comfort her well and tell her not to worry, there is this old lady here for everything. If this family cannot accommodate us, the old lady will take her back to our hometown.”
Upon hearing these words, Yan Zhigao and the others promptly stood up.
Yan Zhigao looked helpless, “Mother, what are you talking about? You are the matriarch of this family; even if we were to be driven out, we definitely couldn’t exclude you.”
Madam Yan snorted coldly and glanced at Concubine Lin who stood to the side as if invisible, “How dared this old woman drive you all away? When asked to serve a meal, she behaves so unwillingly, as if this old woman has committed some unspeakably wicked deed.”
Upon hearing this, Concubine Lin immediately knelt down, “Old Madam, it’s all my fault for angering the Miss. I will immediately go and apologize to her. Please don’t be angry…”
“Smack!”
Before Concubine Lin could finish her words, Madam Yan fiercely slammed a set of bowls and chopsticks to the ground, glaring at her furiously.
“This is the good concubine you have taken. Daohua has been pushed out of this room, yet she still does not forget to slander her. I must ask, how has Daohua wronged your beloved concubine in this past month to make her so relentless?”
“Do you really take this old woman for a blind who understands nothing, oblivious to the manipulations within her stomach?”
Madam Yan was indeed furious, pointing at Yan Zhigao’s nose and unleashing a tirade.
Yan Zhigao immediately chastised Concubine Lin, “Where is your place to speak here? Get out at once!”
Concubine Lin immediately retreated tremblingly and was nearly out of the door when she heard the old lady speak again.
“This beloved concubine of yours, I can no longer bear her ‘filial piety.’ In the future, let her appear less before me. We may not provoke her, but surely we can avoid her?”
Concubine Lin’s heart sank to the bottom.
She had underestimated the Old Madam’s love for the Miss. She thought she could use this incident to make the master value the Miss less. Now the master indeed had complaints about the Miss, but she had also completely angered the Old Madam.
If she had known, she would have kept silent when serving the Miss her vegetables.
Meanwhile,
Daohua slowly walked toward the main house, followed by Ping Tong, who seemed eager to say something but held back.
“Really going back to the past.” Daohua suddenly sneered, raising her head and forcing the tears back.
With her reduced stature, her heart had seemed to shrink as well.
Sometimes she truly felt she was becoming more and more like a child; when someone showed her a bit of kindness, she would easily take it to heart.
Over the past month, Yan Zhigao had shown her some care and concern, and she mistakenly took it for fatherly love, thinking she still held some weight in his heart.
Unfortunately, reality had harshly taught her a lesson.
In her past life, she grew up in a family that favored sons over daughters, never receiving much love from her parents, to the point that she felt no regret during her final moments.
In this life, why did she grow so close to Madam Yan?
Because she offered her the most selfless love.
And with the third branch of the family, she experienced a long-lost kinship.
After arriving in Linyi County, she had been trying hard to integrate into this large family.
Unfortunately, apart from Madam Li and her fourth brother, Yan Wenkai, the people here were not so genuine.
How many true feelings can there be in this world?
People should never take themselves too seriously.
Otherwise, they are just troubling themselves for nothing.
Daohua suddenly felt at ease; she was not silver, so not everyone would like her.
She had her grandmother, her third uncle and aunt, and now her own mother who wholeheartedly thought of her. With the company of her brothers, she really shouldn’t be greedy for more..
