Chapter 520: Chapter 479, United Front_1
During the birthday celebration of the Yan family matriarch, aside from the unpleasant incident caused by Madam Xu, everything else went smoothly. After dinner, the families sat for a short while before leaving with smiles.
The main courtyard.
After seeing off the guests whose status and positions were above that of the Yan Family, Madam Li entrusted the task of escorting the remaining guests to the Sun Family and the Wu Family, while she herself took Daohua back to their room.
“Quick, let me see your wound,” Madam Li said anxiously, looking at Daohua. Her daughter had returned late the previous night, and there were many things she hadn’t had the chance to ask about. It was only today that she had heard about her daughter getting injured from Manman. freeweɓnovel.cøm
Daohua replied with a smile, “Mother, I’m fine. It’s just a minor injury…”
Madam Li interjected, “Even if it’s minor, I want to see it.”
Seeing this, Daohua had no choice but to sit down with a helpless expression, “Alright then, mother, thank you for taking care of my wound today. But is it okay for you not to send off the guests?”
Madam Li carefully rolled up Daohua’s sleeves without looking up, “It’s fine, I’ve already sent off those I needed to. As for the rest, your second and third aunts can handle them.”
“Now I see,” Madam Li continued, “some people, you can’t be too kind to them. Be too kind, and they start to think they can bully you, not taking you seriously. Keep your distance, act coolly, and then they’ll respect and honor you.”
Daohua nodded, “Mother’s words are wise.”
Madam Li wanted to add more, but upon unwrapping the bandage and seeing the ferocious scar on her daughter’s arm, she couldn’t help but curse in a low voice:
“Damn the Jiang Family and the Chen Family. The villain was clearly after them. Miss Jiang and Miss Chen were unharmed, yet my daughter suffered on their behalf.”
Seeing Madam Li’s flushed face, Daohua quickly tried to calm her, “Mother, the wound looks more frightening than it is. It’s not serious.”
“Not serious?” Madam Li disagreed completely, “You can’t even hold chopsticks. How is that not serious?” She took the medicine passed by Wang Manman and carefully applied it to Daohua while grinding her teeth.
“We shouldn’t have let the Chen Family off so easily today. They caused the trouble, and not only did it implicate you and Yuanyao, but they also didn’t bother to clear up the rumors. Instead, they expected you to take the blame. Absolutely despicable. From now on, our family should avoid any dealings with the Chen Family.”
“And not just them, the Jiang Family as well. We should steer clear of them, too. The incident began because of them. It would be sensible for Miss Jiang to offer an explanation, but Madam Jiang looked at you and Yuanyao with such accusation… If the Jiang Family didn’t have the Empress Dowager and the Empress behind them, who would bother with such people?”
With every word Madam Li said, Daohua would nod in agreement and respond, “Mother is right.”
“You too are quite naive. They knew to run, why didn’t you?”
Daohua sighed, “Your daughter is just unlucky, that’s all!”
After a while, Madam Li finished applying the medicine to Daohua and re-bandaged the wound. At that moment, Yan Zhigao arrived with Yan Wenxiu.
Seeing the bandage on Daohua’s arm, both wore looks of concern, “How is it, is it serious?”
Madam Li nodded and said with a look of distress, “How is it not serious? Such a long wound, it must have been very painful at the time. Thankfully, it’s scabbed over now.”
Yan Zhigao took a seat at the head of the room and addressed Daohua, “During this time, stay home and take good care of yourself. Don’t knock or bump into anything; a young lady’s body should not bear scars.” Turning to Madam Li, he said, “She’s active; keep a close eye on her.”
Madam Li nodded earnestly, “My Lord, rest assured, I understand.”
Daohua felt a bit resigned; it was not a big deal to have a scar.
Yan Wenxiu saw Daohua’s dismissive glance and couldn’t help but chuckle and shake her head. Her older sister was indeed quite straightforward when it came to such matters. If it had been another young lady who knew she would be scarred, she would likely have been in a panic or crying by now. Yet here she was, utterly nonchalant.
