I sold grilled fish in the 70s!

Haha! I didn't expect this old woman to be so tight-lipped! If she hadn't been so vehemently opposed to my mother marrying into the Xia family, my father and mother might have been the happiest couple in the world.

I don't know if the master and mistress are happy! But the young lady and our future son-in-law will definitely become the sweetest couple in the world.

Hearing Taozi's words, Xia Rong lowered her head in disappointment. A gesture Mu Long had unconsciously made yesterday kept replaying in her mind.

That was when Mu Long suddenly squatted down and placed the little guy, Taki, on the floor. It was an ordinary action, but it was particularly striking in Xia Rong's eyes.

For some reason, Xia Rong believed that after her father's repeated schemes against Mu Long, Mu Long might leave her. Thinking of this, the usually incredibly strong Xia Rong silently shed tears.

Xia Rong originally thought that her life would be so much happier if Mu Long, that annoying guy, didn't exist.

She had always overlooked Mu Long's meticulous affection for her, and thought that she might never be able to fall in love with him in her life. But when she learned from the servants that her father was trying every means to frame Mu Long, she ignored all the servants' attempts to stop her.

She went to Shenglong Street to find her father and try to stop him from framing Mulong. She even cruelly told her father that if he insisted on framing Mulong, she would sever ties with him.

But for some reason, her father was determined to frame Mu Long. From that moment on, a seed of hatred was planted in her heart and began to sprout.

Thinking of this, Xia Rong couldn't help but take out a pot of peach blossom wine from her skirt, tilt her head back and drink it.

When Peach saw that her young mistress was drinking again, she quickly snatched the wine pot from Xia Rong's hand.

Miss, what's wrong with you lately? Why do you keep drinking all the time? And you never asked me to buy any alcohol! How did you end up with a flask of peach blossom wine on you?

Hehehe! You wouldn't know this, would you? This pot of peach blossom wine was specially brought to me by that troublesome guy Mu Long a few months ago!

Miss, I'm not saying our future son-in-law spoils you too much! Doesn't he know that you've always gotten rashes all over your body whenever you drink alcohol since you were little?

Hehehe! Of course he knows! But I can't resist his sweet talk and charm! Do you know how many times I've bothered Mu Long just to get a sip of the peach blossom wine I'm holding?

After saying this, Xia Rong forcefully snatched the wine pot from Tao Zi's hand. She then tossed her head back and drank heartily.

There's no one better than a mother in this world! A child without a mother is like a blade of grass! Nestling in a mother's embrace brings endless happiness!

Xia Rong hummed the song softly while silently shedding tears.

Peach, is your mother still alive? When you nestle in your mother's warm embrace, do you feel like the happiest child in the world?

No way! As you know, my mother and I have never had a good relationship. Every time we meet, we end up arguing for all sorts of reasons.

Haha! She's your own mother, not your enemy! What's there to argue about? If my mother were still alive, I would never argue with her.

Young lady, you have no idea how much my mother scolds me whenever she sees me. It's like I'm not her biological daughter. Don't you always ask me why I never come home to visit?

That's because every time I come home, my mother and father chase after me demanding money. Not only that, they also hit me with a broom because of my arrival.

It's as if I'm not my parents' biological child! So now I'm completely disillusioned with my so-called family!

Peach, after going through so many dark things, do you still want a child of your own?

Haha! Miss, why did you suddenly ask me this question? I may never marry anyone in my life, so how could I possibly have my own children!

No way! My dear Peach, do you mean you'll never get married because of me?

Yes! My dear lady, if you're willing, I will stay by your side for the rest of my life and never leave you.

Meow! Meow! Meow!

The black girl, lying in Xia Rong's arms, raised her little head and barked at Xia Rong a few times. She tried to jump from Xia Rong's arms onto the roof tile, but Xia Rong held her firmly in her arms.

You mustn't go! It's very high up here. If you jump from here, you'll be dead!

Meow! Meow! Meow!

Miss, don't you hate black girls the most? Why are you holding this dark thing in your arms today?

Do you know why I don't like black girls? You also know that I like to hold a kitten in my arms all the time.

Hehehe! Miss, you're not a little jealous because Master always keeps Blackie by his side...

Do you really think I'm such a petty person? It's not that I dislike this little black girl! It's just that for some reason, every time I hold her, a certain image always comes to mind!

What a scene! Miss, are you perhaps reminiscing about someone by looking at this? I heard from the servants who have been serving the master that when the madam was pregnant with the young lady, she really liked to put the black girl on her belly.

Haha! Perhaps that's why I often think of a stunningly beautiful woman, heavily pregnant, sitting in a sunny spot, holding an apple.

A black cat was lying on her stomach, its eyes half-closed.
