Chapter 115: The Angry Mother-in-law

  He didn't ask me any more questions, just said: "I just think what you said makes sense. If I'm always like this and don't open my heart, the ones who suffer are those who love me, and the ones who are happy are those who hate me. I've been confused about this all along." He slightly turned his face to look at me seriously and said: "You're the one who reminded me of this."

  I smiled faintly and said, "This is nothing, my duty is to make you recover quickly." I still wanted to say that once you're better, I can leave, but seeing his carefree expression, I couldn't bear to say it, so I blew out the lamp and said, "Get some rest early!"

  That night, we all slept exceptionally well, and I don't know if it was because of the exhaustion from traveling during the day or not being woken up by Song Tang's endless coughing. In short, that night, we slept very soundly.

  The next morning, just after getting up, the big madam's side sent someone to talk about Hong Ling's matter, saying that they would choose a auspicious day to formally open her face and take her out directly from our room.

  Hongling was standing beside me, waiting for me to get up. Upon hearing this, tears of joy rolled down her face. I looked at her and felt happy for her too. Hurriedly, I stopped her from kneeling down to thank me, took out some silver coins from my purse and handed them to the person who came to report the news, saying: "You can go now and take care of yourself. From now on, you are a mistress, big or small. Today, I will go out and buy another maid, so you won't have to serve anymore."

  She was even more grateful, pulling my hand and sobbing: "Second Young Master's wife has a Bodhisattva heart, from now on Hong Ling will never forget the slightest bit of Second Young Master's kindness, I will pray day and night for Second Young Master's illness to get better soon."

  I pulled her hand, wiping away her tears and said: "You're such a big person now, with status and pregnant too, you can't just cry randomly anymore. Hurry up and prepare well, the auspicious day is not far off."

  She was overjoyed and thanked him a thousand times, her happiness overflowing into words.

  I had finished washing and dressing, and went to attend on Song Tang as he got up. He was also quite pleased, saying that his coughing had decreased a lot during the night. It wasn't until then that I realized it was because he hadn't disturbed me that I slept so soundly.
