26 Madam Xie (2/2)

The steward sighed in relief and handed the contract to her. In any case, the middle-aged woman was not really useful, so it's just fine to let her be the girl servant. Finishing his duty, the steward walked away in relief.

Jun Hua looked at the two girls. ”Please look up, Madam Xie.”

The middle-aged woman raised her head to look at Jun Hua. In that instant, her eyes started to get wet and tears fell heavily from them. Her daughter was startled, but she didn't understand why her mother suddenly cried.

”Young Miss Hua, is that you? You're alive.”

”Yes, I'm fine, Madam Xie. How are you?” Jun Hua smiled warmly. She recognized her daughter from their similar features. Madam Xie was one of the few servant girls her mother used to have. Jun Hua hadn't heard from them for a long time, and she was greatly surprised to see them here.

”I'm fine. I would never expect that you can survive Miss. All those year, it must be hard on you.”

Jun Hua waited until Madam Xie calmed down. Madam Xie was one of her mother's loyal servants but she was sent away to get married. This incident turned into a blessing because Madam Xie could avoid that disaster.

”Miss Hua, do you still remember this place? This is the place where your mother used to stay.”

Jun Hua shook her head. She couldn't remember at all. When she left this residence, she was only a 4-year old girl that there were things she couldn't remember. There were only a few bits of memories she had about the Lin family residence.

Madam Xie nodded in sadness. ”It's expected that a young girl cannot remember things vividly, but I never thought that you would return here, Miss.”

”Neither do I.”

Jun Hua didn't have many pleasant memories of this place. The thing she remembered the most was when she was 4 year old, her mother came to her while crying saying that she was sorry. The next day, they left the residence. That was the incident that sealed her fate up forever.

Madam Xie wiped her tears. ”I may not have been there when your mother was chased out, but I was here when that despicable woman forced her to become the concubine.”

Jun Hua eyes flashed with interest. She knew that to promote a woman from concubine to be a legal wife, the husband must have paid a heavy price if they already have a main wife. Then to make his wife to be the concubine instead, she was sure that Lin Tang did not go unscathed.

”What happened? If I'm not wrong, there are large sums of money you need to pay and a heavy beating, right?”

Madam Xie nodded. ”Originally, Lin Tang also didn't want to do it, but Chun Maora's brother took his place in beating, thus allowed Lin Tang to agree. As for the money, the Lin family didn't lack of money, so they could send the money easily.”

”Lin Tang agreed just like that?” Jun Hua eyebrows rose.

”No, he only agreed after Chun Maora gave birth to the twins.”
