FSC [QT] Chapter 99.2

The food was served quickly.

As a Marquis, Ling Yaodong naturally sat at the head of the table. Mrs. Fan and Old Mrs. Wu sat on both sides of Ling Yaodong, and then the other people in the first and second branches sat down. The third branch was just opposite Ling Yaodong.

The meal that should have been warm and cozy seemed a little bland because of the uninvited Old Mrs. Wu and the second branch.

Mrs. Fan couldn’t even hold her daughter’s hand and ask her how she had been doing these past years.

“This honey sauce meat is the specialty of the master chef in the mansion. It is soft but not mushy, sweet but not greasy. Xiao Wu is still too thin. You can eat more.”

Mrs. Fan picked up a piece of honey sauce meat closest to her daughter with chopsticks. Looking at her daughter’s wrist which was so thin that it seemed to break if it was bent, she felt distressed.

“Xiao Wu, can Mom call you this?”

Mrs. Fan was still a little disappointed because, from the time they met until now, she had never heard her daughter call her Mother.

But who made her fail to protect her daughter in the first place?

She suffered a lot outside these years, and it was understandable that she couldn’t accept her relatives for a while.

But Mrs. Fan was confident that in the days to come, she would definitely be able to make her daughter accept her as a mother.

“Um.”

Ah Wu responded softly. A name was for people to call her, not to mention that it was given by her brother.

She could accept changing her surname after recognizing her ancestors because she had no obsession with the surname Yu, but she couldn’t accept changing her name.

Now that her biological parents had adapted well to her original name, Ah Wu felt relieved.

Seeing her daughter respond to her kindness for the first time, the smile on Mrs. Fan’s face suddenly became brighter.

“You should eat more. When the Seventh Girl was in the countryside, you shouldn’t have eaten meat, right?”

Mrs. Xiao Wu covered her mouth and laughed again, clucking like a hen laying eggs.

“I know some herbal medicines. Every time I go into the mountains to collect herbs, I will process and sell them to medical clinics. It’s a good income. I can still afford a meal of meat every now and then.”

“Plus there are a lot of wild animals in the mountains. Sometimes if I’m lucky, we can also catch a pheasant and hare. Please don’t worry about me, Second Aunt.”

Ah Wu slowly ate the piece of meat in the bowl, looked at Mrs. Xiao Wu, and answered very sincerely.

“It’s the Second Aunt that should be more restrained. The wife of the largest landlord in our village has a lot of money and eats a lot of meat every day.”

“As a result, she is so bloated that she can’t even walk. She needs to be carried by servants in a sedan chair. Once, when she went out, she broke the sedan chair and almost fell to death.”

As she spoke, her eyes looked up and down at Second Aunt, as if she was worried about her physical condition.

Mrs. Fan’s eyes turned red as she listened to her daughter’s words. Nanny Liu’s description in the letter was a little simpler. She didn’t know that her biological daughter had actually made a living by collecting herbs in recent years.

That’s right, Yu Fucai and Mrs. Yu died when she was very young. If she wanted to survive, she could only rely on herself.

And what was Ling Zhuo doing at that time?

She was often sick, but she didn’t like to take medicine. Every time, in order to coax her to take medicine, Mrs. Fan had to hold her, sing nursery rhymes to her, or meet her small request, as long as she was healthy.

The person who should have lived such a life was her biological daughter!

Mrs. Fan’s heart was almost broken.

Ling Yaodong’s mood was the same as Mrs. Fan’s. He was almost overwhelmed by guilt and distress.

But Mrs. Xiao Wu obviously didn’t have such emotions. She only knew that she was ridiculed by a little girl.

Mrs. Xiao Wu was plump, and when she stood next to Ling Yaokang, who was as thick as a bamboo pole, she was two or three times as wide as him.

It was not that Mrs. Xiao Wu did not care about her body shape, but that she had taken a lot of messy prescriptions in order to conceive a boy.

After giving birth to the legitimate son Ling Zijian, her originally slender body seemed to have lost its breath and she could no longer lose weight.

Because of her deformed body shape, Ling Yaokang never stayed in the main courtyard after the birth of his legitimate son. For this, Mrs. Xiao Wu was very resentful. She even went on a hunger strike to lose weight and almost starved herself to death.

Later, Mrs. Xiao Wu gradually became open-minded.

She realized that the man she married was a drunkard and a womanizer. She had lost her color a long time ago. Even if her body shape did not change, Ling Yaokang would not like to stay with her.

The reason why he was still a little fond of her before was just because he needed a legitimate son.

The open-minded Mrs. Xiao Wu no longer had any scruples when she thought about it. She ate whatever she wanted.
