The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

On the day of returning home, Bai got up early.

To be precise, he didn't sleep all night, so Ding Haimo was bleary-eyed when he went to court the next morning.

Fortunately, today is a small court meeting, otherwise if the Ministry of Personnel finds out, this year's performance evaluation will be in jeopardy.

After Ding Haimo came to court, Bai ordered the servants to prepare everything, and she didn't look like she hadn't slept at all.

"Shu'er loves lotus seed paste tarts. Are you ready?"

"Madam, everything is ready. We are just waiting for the eldest sister to come back."

Mrs. Bai was still a little worried, so she went back and forth to the kitchen several times, and then went to Ding Meishu's boudoir to see if there were any other additions.

"Change this pillow and bring over the Perrin pillow from the storeroom. Also, change the incense. This smell is awful."

"Zhuyun, come with me."

At this time, a halo of light just appeared on the horizon. There was no light in the garden, so Zhuyun took a lantern and held it.

When Bai arrived at the garden, Zhuyun handed her the prepared scissors. Bai carefully selected and cut off a few branches.

"Let's cut some osmanthus flowers and put them in the room. The fragrance is light and not too strong. Shu'er will definitely like it."

"In previous years, she was always at home at this time. We would pick osmanthus flowers and make incense, smoke purses, and smoke clothes together. Back then, I always felt that life was long. How could she marry someone else so soon? Leaving me alone here, I miss her when I walk, when I sleep, and when I see a dish at dinner, I think of it as Shu'er's favorite."

As Bai spoke, her eyes turned red and tears welled up in her eyes. She quietly wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

"Look at me, I'm crying even as I'm talking."

Bai was laughing and crying. Zhuyun put down what she was holding, took out the handkerchief from her arms, and walked forward to wipe her tears.

"Miss, I have been with you since I was little. Ever since my sister was born, you have never been willing to let go of her. You have always taken care of everything, including her food and drink. I know you just can't bear to leave her. Ever since my sister left, you seemed to have lost your soul. It was only last night that you regained some energy."

Upon hearing this, Bai's tears fell again. How could she bear to give away the little girl she had raised?

Once you get married, you become a guest when you return home.

Thinking of what those people said that day, Bai couldn't help crying.

How can your own child be a guest?

If it weren't for Shu'er's happy event that day, she would have wanted to go up and tear that man's mouth apart.

"I just can't bear to let her go. If I had known earlier, I would have kept her. I would have been willing to keep her with me for the rest of my life."

"If Madam had said this and had let my sister come back and hear it, she wouldn't have been angry with you. Besides, why don't you think about the good side? When my sister gets married, she'll bring you a good son-in-law. And then she'll give you a little grandson. My sister will live a happy life, and you'll be happy too."

Bai couldn't help crying for a moment, but Zhuyun persuaded her to stop.

"I know, I just miss her so much. We have never been apart as mother and daughter. When we meet again, I will be counting the days until she comes back."

She felt lost, holding the osmanthus flowers she had just cut in her hand, and always felt that there should be a little girl accompanying her at this time.

"Let's go back and plug it in for Shu'er."

Zhuyun was holding the osmanthus flowers. At this time, the morning light was just breaking and she could see the road below, so she didn't need to carry a lantern.

Looking at the lady walking in front, Zhu Yun's eyes also turned slightly red.

My sister left within a few hours of coming back, and the flowers could not be kept.

Mother and daughter are connected by heart. Ding Meishu did not sleep well all night and got up early in the morning.

Duan Jing'an didn't sleep well either. The person next to him kept tossing and turning. Only when he held the person in his arms from behind and told him to leave early the next morning did he calm down.

Ding Meishu had a smile on her face ever since she got up.

"Shiro, are you okay?"

She urged him from the inner room, but Duan Jing'an had already packed up and was waiting in the outer room.

"Well, the carriage is waiting at the little gate."

When Ding Meishu heard this, she asked someone to hurry up and came out after a while.

"Shouldn't we have breakfast at home before we leave?"

"No, let's go home and eat."

Duan Jing'an smiled and reached out to Ding Meishu, and Ding Meishu felt a warm feeling in her heart.

He said

Come back home.

"Okay, let's go home and eat."

The two smiled at each other.

Bai had been waiting in the main hall early. Even though she knew it was usually around 9:00 a.m., she just couldn't sit still and kept asking people to check on her to see if she had returned.

"Madam, madam, they're back! My eldest sister and her husband are at the door."

Bai stood up suddenly and looked at the time as she walked.

"Are you really back? What time is it now? Why are you here so early?"

"One quarter of an hour."

Zhuyun said this as she helped Bai out.

"Madam was thinking about me, and I was thinking about her, so I got up early and came home."

Bai's eyes were red again, and she wanted to walk faster and faster.

"They must not have had breakfast yet. Ask the servants to prepare some food and bring it over later."

Ding Meishu was helped out of the carriage. Her eyes turned red as she looked at the mansion gate, and she tried hard not to cry.

"what happened?"

Duan Jing'an gently squeezed her little hand.

Ding Meishu turned around and smiled, which was uglier than crying.

"homesick."

Duan Jing'an had seen his two sisters returning home after getting married. No matter whether it was the second or third sister, they always felt sad, regardless of whether they were happy or not.

"Come back anytime if you miss home. I'm sure your mother-in-law misses you very much too. Let's go home quickly."

"Really?"

Ding Meishu burst into tears, staring at Duan Jing'an, trying to see through the perfunctory words.

How can a married woman return home at any time? If you tell others about it, they will accuse her of being unruly.

"Why would I lie to you? Stop crying! If my mother-in-law sees you, she'll think I bullied you. You'll probably get yourself into a lot of trouble today."

Duan Jing'an gently wiped her face with a handkerchief.

"I take what you say seriously, but you can't lie to me."

"Well, I won't lie to you."

Ding Meishu burst into laughter, the sunlight shone on her face, and her eyelashes, wet with tears, stuck to the corners of her eyes.

"Shiro, you're so nice."

"With your words, I can finally feel at peace in my life."

When a woman gets married, it is her second reincarnation. Ding Meishu thought she was lucky both times.

After entering the door and turning the corner, Ding Meishu and Bai met.

When they met, they both shed tears and hugged each other, which made people feel very sad.

At this time, Ding Haimo had not yet left the court, so Duan Jing'an went to have breakfast with Bai.

Bai had already eaten, and now that she was in a good mood, she ate some more with her daughter.

"Eat this. Mother had it prepared for you. She was afraid you'd be hungry when you got home. It's perfect for breakfast."

"and this……"

Bai kept picking up food for Ding Meishu, and Duan Jingan was completely ignored.

"Okay, okay, mother, I can hardly eat anymore. You should eat too. This river fish bun is your favorite. Have one."

"well."

Both mother and daughter had red eyes and were kissing each other affectionately. Duan Jing'an smiled and ate by himself.
