It’s a bit of a pity that these flowers, perhaps due to the garden having been abandoned, have already lost their vigor and are withering and dying unevenly everywhere.
Seeing this, Ye Ning rolled her own chair, crossing over the thick fallen leaves, inching her way to the entrance of the garden, ready to enter.
This scene seemed so familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
Just as she was about to enter, inside the garden suddenly came the sounds of someone moving, faintly, as if she could also hear a baby’s cooing and babbling...
"Mom, if cousin and second aunt have both left, why are you still bringing me here? This place, it’s creepily eerie!"
"What do you know? This is where they used to live, and this child is your cousin’s child. Bringing him here is to let him see it."
And bringing the child to see?
Ye Ning, seated at the entrance, heard these two familiar voices and her brow instantly furrowed.
The servant girl named Xiaohe behind her got goosebumps all over her body after hearing this.
This Chrysanthemum Garden, ever since its two masters died, indeed became very sinister, but to say such things during the broad daylight was still unsettling, giving off a chilling sensation.
The little maid loosened her grip on the wheelchair and started thinking of going back alone.
It was at this time, inside the garden, the two people who were just speaking came out, and thus Ye Ning, sitting there, caught sight of the two women coming out, one of whom was holding a child.
"Oh, third sister-in-law, you came too?"
Ye Ning narrowed her eyes slightly, then said nothing...
It seems that what Sister Wang said was absolutely right; ever since these mother and daughter left Bamboo Garden, they really could be seen everywhere.
Ou Mufeng, seeing her silent, smiled again, "What? Did third sister-in-law come here to reminisce as well? Did you remember anything?"
Ye Ning’s face was expressionless, "What do you mean?"
Bai Wei, not without sarcasm, said, "What we mean is... have you remembered what status you used to have? Who you were? What you’ve done?"
Each word was extremely cutting and pointed!
Ye Ning stared at the mother and daughter, and at the child in their hands...
No, she knew nothing, nor did she want to know!
She turned her head to look at the young maid behind her, "Xiaohe, let’s go back!"
She finally understood Sister Wang’s warning when she left; yes, this mother and daughter, at heart, were troublemakers, such people should be avoided at all costs.
Thus the mistress and servant prepared to head back!
But how, at this point, could Ou Mufeng who had been waiting here let her leave?
Seeing that she wanted to go back, Bai Wei, with just one step forward, immediately grabbed hold of the handle at the back of Ye Ning’s wheelchair, "Try pushing her back?"
At that comment, the girl named Xiaohe turned pale and didn’t dare to move, standing there trembling.
Ye Ning saw this, her pupils contracted slightly, and her expression finally turned ice cold...
What were they trying to do?
Ou Mufeng also witnessed this scene and saw her daughter successfully intercept the woman, immediately, holding the child, she came over as well, "Third sister-in-law, no rush, you just got here, why leave so soon?"
Ye Ning looked at her coldly, "What exactly do you want?"
PS: The system glitched yesterday, inadvertently repeating a Chapter, which I explained right below it at the time, because the editor wasn’t working, and I don’t have the authority to delete it, I could only remind everyone not to subscribe. Yet I actually saw someone accusing me of scamming for money and saying they would report me!!
In all good conscience, having written this story for so long, have I ever done such a thing? Not even a duplicate word in the opening, was it necessary to be so harsh?
