Jiang Wanru heard Fang Zheng's words in the room, she immediately opened the door and rushed to the courtyard gate in the rain. Fang Zheng was saying: "Thank you." Ji Yan looked at her without even taking a piece of rain cloth to cover herself, and immediately handed over the one on his own head to Jiang Wanru. Fang Zheng secretly glared at Ji Yan and pulled her into his own raincoat. Jiang Wanru took the rain cloth given by Ji Yan and rushed out with it on her head.

  Fang Zheng followed closely behind her, quickening his pace to catch up. In a low voice, he said, "Third Miss, you don't need to rush. Outside Yu Niang's courtyard, Mu Gen is keeping watch. At the back door, there are people we know who are standing guard. As soon as Qiu Chun returns, someone will come to inform us." Jiang Wanru turned her head towards him and said again, "Thank you." Fang Zheng's face reddened as he replied, "It's only right."

  When Jiang Wanru rushed to the outer courtyard of Yu's residence, her clothes were almost completely drenched. Mu Gen was waiting at the gate and saw her, then turned around and hurriedly pushed the door open with force. The moment the door opened, the rough-looking servant woman who opened it looked extremely impatient, and when she saw Jiang Wanru, she reached out to close the door again. Mu Gen struggled to hold the door open and shouted at her: "The mistress has allowed Third Miss to visit Madam Yu, what right do you have to block Third Miss?"

  Another woman heard the noise and came over to close the gate, saying "Qīn Chun said when she left that no one is allowed to visit Yí Niáng". Fang Zhèng quickly pulled the raincoat off Jí Yán and stretched out his hand to help Mù Gēn push open the door. He was a bit older and had done more hard labor, so he was quite strong. The two of them soon managed to pry the gate open a bit, and Jiāng Wǎn Méi squeezed through the gap in the gate between the two women and into the courtyard.

  Ji Yan followed her into the courtyard, watching as she rushed into a room with candles lit. Ji Yan lifted his foot to follow, but Fang Zheng and Mu Gen had already entered the courtyard. Fang Zheng shouted at his own sister, "Ji Yan, don't go in there with Third Miss!" Ji Yan stopped in his tracks, standing in the courtyard. The rain poured down heavily, and two rough-looking servant women in the courtyard continued to chatter incessantly at Mu Gen and Fang Zheng. Mu Gen stared fixedly at the room with candles lit, ignoring their voices.

  Fang Zheng coldly stared at them and said: "This is the Jiang family. Madame Xi has come to visit Yu Niang with Third Miss, this is Madame's kindness towards Yu Niang and Third Miss. You two came out to block us, which was wrong from the start. Now you're still speaking loudly in front of us, are you looking down on us because we're young? I'm telling you, if you say one more word, I won't believe it. Tonight, I'll settle this with you two once and for all, and then go to Madame's place to reason things out."

  Two women looked at Fang Zheng's expression and suddenly stopped talking. The two of them quickly ran to the eaves of a house far away from the three of them, and after stopping, they looked at each other, but didn't dare to look at the three people who were also taking shelter from the rain. The heavy rain poured down, and Fang Zheng pulled his body back under the eaves to take shelter from the rain. The rainwater quickly splashed onto the clothes of the three people in front, and Mu Gen softly said to Fang Zheng, "Fang Zheng ge, thank you this time." Fang Zheng looked at him and replied in a light tone, "It's what I should do, no need to thank me."

  Jiang Wanru gently pushed open the door of the room, which was shining with candlelight. The air inside was thick and heavy with the smell of medicine, making it hard to breathe. She paused for a moment at the entrance, glancing at the tall wooden screen in front of her. Taking a deep breath, she walked slowly around the screen. Her eyes landed on a high bed, where a thin and frail figure lay under a thick layer of bedding. The person raised their face, revealing sunken cheeks that seemed to be nothing but skin and bones, yet somehow still managed to retain a hint of beauty.

  Yu looked at Jiang Wanru standing at the foot of the bed, beckoning her to come over. Jiang Wanru used all her strength to take a step forward, and with great difficulty, she finally made it to the head of the bed. She gazed at the woman on the bed, who was smiling, but Jiang felt a pang in her heart. She wanted to ask her many things, but at this moment, she couldn't bring herself to speak.

  Yu Xixi glanced at Jiang Wanting, who was soaked through, and to her surprise, Jiang Wanting slightly raised her head. Yu Xixi immediately went over and stuffed the pillow from the bedside into the back of Jiang's head. Yu Xixi half-raised her head, looking at the little woman standing in front of her, and suddenly she burst out laughing, saying in a voice with a hint of huskiness: "The expression in your eyes is just like my big brother's. When I get into trouble, he looks at me just like that, haha." Her voice suddenly became clear and crisp as jade, and for an instant, her face shone brightly, making her whole person radiant and full of spirit.

  The people in the courtyard, at the same time, heard Yu's crisp and clear laughter, and the two rough-looking servant women suddenly showed a sad expression on their faces. Fang Zheng and Ji Yan's faces flashed with a smile, but soon turned to worry again. Mugen's expression was still tense, staring intently at the door of that room, his eyes fixed firmly on it.

  Yu Xixi looked at Jiang Wanyu and said, "You're here, just in time. I have something to discuss with you in detail. As mother and daughter, I should also give you an explanation. If you have anything you want to ask me, you can ask directly now." Jiang Wanyu knelt down straight away, closed her eyes, then opened them again and asked, "Do you regret it?" Yu Xixi heard Jiang Wanyu's words and smiled lightly once more, saying, "Over the years, I've also been asking myself this question time and time again."

  Jiang Wan looked at Yu XiXi, listening to her loud voice say: "No regrets. I have no regrets." Jiang Wan's face became bitter and unbearable, then she heard Yu XiXi's low voice say: "Sometimes, I think that if I had listened to my brother's words back then, stayed home and studied diligently without going out, everything would not be like this. It was as if it were destined, I gave up everything for a hollow outcome." The long and soft voice echoed in the room for a long time, gentle yet husky.

  Yu Xi said to Jiang Wanru: "I'm tired, I'll sleep." After she finished speaking, she fell asleep peacefully. Jiang Wanru slowly got up, trembling with her hands, and leaned close to her nose, feeling her shallow breathing sound. She quietly moved her feet, walking towards the door, her small face was filled with tears, and her eyes had an unbearable sadness.

  Jiang Wanmu walked out of the room and into the rain, straight as an arrow. Jiyan rushed after her, trying to shield her from the rain with his hands, saying "It's hot, getting rained on is good." Fang Zheng opened the courtyard door, Mu Gen standing at one side, looking at Jiang Wanmu who was covered in rainwater, holding back words that were on the tip of his tongue. Jiang Wanmu walked out of the delicate courtyard door and saw Qiu Chun running towards her, with a flustered little servant following behind him. When Qiu Chun saw Jiang Wanmu standing at the courtyard door, he pointed at her and said in a sharp, cutting tone: "The madam doesn't want to see you."

  Jiang Wanmu raised her eyes to look at her, rainwater pouring into her mouth from her hair, and she said lightly: "Auntie is tired and has already fallen asleep." Qiu Chun looked at her disbelievingly, stretched out both hands towards her, and pounced on her, saying: "You're lying, Auntie hasn't slept for a long time." Mugen stepped forward to block her, his voice low and angry: "She's Auntie's own daughter, what mother wouldn't want to see her daughter?" Qiu Chun stopped when she heard this, and Jiang Wanmu slowly walked past her side.
