If it had been in the past, Yun Jinnian would have truly turned and left.
"Mother, let me take care of you!"
Mrs. Han was lucid this time, and she remembered how excessive she had been the night before, how heartbroken Yun Jinnian would be upon hearing it; she stretched out her hand to tightly embrace Yun Jinnian in her arms, "Jinnian, I’m sorry!"
Tears fell like pearls slipping from a string.
Landing on Yun Jinnian’s neck, they were scalding hot.
"Mother didn’t mean it, it’s just that many times, I can’t control myself, I don’t know why, but I end up saying those words, Mother..." Mrs. Han said, feeling a headache coming on again.
The buzzing in her head, as if countless bees were swarming around her, threatening to sting her.
Mrs. Han shook her head, hoping to stay lucid enough to finish speaking.
Yun Jinnian quickly noticed Mrs. Han’s abnormal state and hurriedly said, "Mother, there’s no rush, sit down first!"
She guided Mrs. Han to sit on a bench nearby, pressing her temples with her hand, "Mother, stay calm, don’t think about those unpleasant things, focus more on the happy, heartwarming memories!"
Yun Jinnian’s voice was very gentle.
At this moment, Mrs. Han was not only her mother but also her patient.
Hearing this, Mrs. Han slowly relaxed, and gradually, her head hurt less, but she felt a bit drowsy.
Leaning against Yun Jinnian’s embrace, she fell asleep.
After a moment of hesitation, Yun Jinnian hugged Mrs. Han tighter, "Mother, from now on, I will protect you!"
Hearing the call, Henuan immediately entered the study from outside, "Miss?"
"Call someone to come, send mother to Chaoyang Academy!"
The study, after all, was Grandfather’s place, and it was inappropriate to stay there for long.
After a moment of astonishment, Henuan hurriedly called several strong maids over, who lifted Mrs. Han onto a chair and carried her to Chaoyang Academy.
Yun Jinnian’s courtyard.
Upon hearing the news, Han Xuzi was immensely relieved.
"Issue an order, everyone in the Yun Residence is to cooperate with Jinnian. Those who dare disobey, don’t blame me for being unkind!"
Han Zhong promptly replied, "Yes!"
He left to instruct several butlers.
The rest, the butlers would handle well.
Yun Jinnian took Mrs. Han to Chaoyang Academy, applied acupuncture to her, then fed her the Blood Lotus Pill, brewed tea with Blood Lotus Leaves, and stewed chicken with Blood Lotus.
When Mrs. Han woke up, Yun Jinnian fed her.
She took care of everything herself.
In just two days, Mrs. Han’s complexion had improved a lot.
Watching Yun Jinnian smiling, her eyes filled with tears.
"Mother, what’s wrong?" Yun Jinnian asked softly, passing the handkerchief in her hand to Mrs. Han.
Yun Jinnian smiled, "It’s all in the past!"
"Is it really all in the past? You don’t resent me?" Mrs. Han asked cautiously.
"I neither hold resentment nor blame, Mother, don’t overthink it. When you’re a bit healthier, we shall go to Nanjiang to find Tianci!"
This was something Mrs. Han had not anticipated.
To go to Nanjiang to find Tianci...
Thinking of the day Tianci visited the Yun Residence and sat silently with her, Mrs. Han felt anxious.
Yun Jinnian held Mrs. Han’s hand, "Mother, Tianci is a good child; it’s just that we spent too little time together, and Tianci doesn’t know how to interact with you. So let’s go to Nanjiang, let’s go find Tianci in Nanjiang!"
Once mother’s health improves and her illness is cured, we will return and divorce.
By that time, she would have come of age, eligible for marriage, and whatever becomes of the Yun Family will no longer concern her.
Mrs. Han looked at Yun Jinnian, and after a while, with tearful eyes, she nodded, "Mother will listen to you, if you say we’re going to Nanjiang, then we shall go to Nanjiang!"
