Chapter 361 A Mysterious Seal (1/2)

Lin Mengya hesitated for a moment and chose not to tear the belt open.

The villa was hard to access for other people, but Lin Mengya insisted on opening it in the silent midnight just in case. She wanted to know what was inside the belt.

Lin Mengya was picking up her mother’s legacy with Baizhi. She decided to take all these things away with her.

The bugs and ants here would destroy them sooner or later, so it was better for them to be collected by Lin Mengya. She could take a look at these things whenever she missed her mother.

It was getting dark outside. Someone stopped at the door with a lantern in her hand.

“Time for lunch, my lady!”

A familiar voice made Baizhi bounce up from the ground immediately. She smiled and went to open the door joyfully.

“Ms. Tian! It’s you! I thought you were back in the countryside with your son. I missed you so much!”

A humble woman stood at the door.

Her yellow clothes were made of coarse fabric, looking simple and clean.

She was in her 50s, but wrinkles had already spread over her face. Life must have been hard for this tough woman.

Her eyes still looked so gentle and kind.

“I missed my lady and the young master. Yue’er, I heard that you were with her in a new home. How’s it going?” Ms. Tian asked slowly, with a blotchy meal box in her hand.

.

Baizhi’s eyes got wet as soon as she saw the meal box.

In the old days, Ms. Lin always put what she and Lin Mengya needed in the box, trying her best to give it to them.

Even when she was wounded, she would still bring them jujube buns, smiling.

“I’ve changed my name. It’s Baizhi now. Our lady is very respected in her new home,” Baizhi said proudly.

She took over the box from Ms. Tian just like how she used to in the old days.

Lin Mengya was standing there, hesitating.

Ms. Tian was one of the two women that took care of her the most in the past, the other being her mother. The woman had been protecting her since she was little.

She still remembered the first time she saw Mr. Tian. Back then, she was a young diligent woman. She cared for Lin Mengwu and her brother because she was their nanny.

After the two kids lost their mother, Ms. Tian took the little girl and her brother under her wings like a brave eagle.

Many times had she be punished by Shang Guanqing because of Lin Mengya and her brother’s fault.

Lin Mengya hated herself for being ungrateful. She had been married away for merely a year, but she seldom thought about the woman who had protected her and her brother like their real mother.

Lin Mengya didn’t realize that she was slowly inheriting all the old Lin Mengya’s emotions.

Ms. Tian looked at Baizhi kindly. Her loose eyes looked at Lin Mengya with worry.

The two were a few steps away from each other. Ms. Tian was checking out Lin Mengya from head to toe.

Her sweetheart finally made her way out.

She didn’t care what luxurious clothes Lin Mengya was in. She was happy that the girl no longer had that fearful face.

“My lady… how are you?”

Her voice was quivering. The calm woman’s eyes became wet.

Step by step, Lin Mengya walked out from deep inside the house.

Fair skin, bright eyes, shiny teeth, smooth hair… Her dress was extravagant. The woman had grown out of the poor little girl from the past.

Most noblewomen in Capital City would fade next to her.

“How are you, Ms. Tian? Long time no see. How’s it going?”

Ms. Tian looked at the graceful woman in front of her in amazement. She heard that Princess Yu had been scared in the sedan and had barely recovered.

She didn’t know the little girl had changed this much.

But she was sure the woman was still her little sweetheart.

“Ms. Tian, I know you’ve got a lot to ask about, but this is not the right place for us to catch up. Baizhi, let’s go outside.”

Lin Mengya spoke before Ms. Tian could explain. Then she signaled Ms. Tian with her eyes.

Ms. Tian surely understood. She wiped her eyes and picked up Ms. Lin’s old clothes. Then the three of them went toward Lin Mengya’s boudoir.
