"Nuannuan..."
Mrs. Xu also wanted to know about Chunyu’s situation, and the old lady was a stubborn person too. It seed there was no way but to tell the truth.
This matter, really couldn’t be hidden any longer.
"Grandmother, you have to promise not to worry no matter what it is. In fact, whatever it is, it’s all in the past. What I can tell you is, eldest sister is really okay now, she is really very, very well."
Even though they went through a great calamity, they were still alive, and both mother and daughter were safe, which was the greatest blessing.
Chun Nuan knew early on that after her eldest sister went to file a complaint to the imperial court, she suffered severe physical injuries. But at that ti, she didn’t have any money on hand, nor were there any dicinal herbs in the pharmacy, and there was no way to help.
A while back, she had made so pills and sent them along with a family letter, hoping her eldest sister could recover her health.
"Alright, Nuannuan, you tell , I won’t worry, I won’t worry."
The old lady, at her age, promising not to worry in front of Chun Nuan, looked both adorable and heart-wrenching.
Sooner or later, they had to face it. Chun Nuan looked at the few people around her and took a deep breath.
Alright, let’s speak.
"Firstly, Mrs. Xiao is right. Eldest sister was indeed divorced by the Wu family."
"Divorced? The Wu family, how dare they?"
The old lady suddenly stood up: "What is the Wu family? My Chunyu is so good, how dare they divorce her?"
"Mother..." Mrs. Xu’s tears fell imdiately, fearing that the old lady might have an accident, she hurriedly went to support her: "Mother, we promised Nuannuan not to worry, besides, Yu’er is very well now, listen to Nuannuan."
Inexplicably, Mrs. Xu very much trusted Chun Nuan, listening to her words made her feel at ease.
Chun Nuan said Yu’er is well now, so she believed it.
"Yes, grandmother, don’t worry, the story is very exciting." Chun Nuan also went up to support her: "You sit down, listen to your granddaughter tell you, our eldest sister is indeed very, very good."
At that, she recounted the story from Chunyu’s divorce to filing a complaint to the emperor, to receiving rewards from the Empress and the Empress Dowager, how mother and daughter, along with maids, lived in the village, and that there was a very successful shop in the Capital. Life was very good now.
The Xiao family mbers were all crying like rainn.
"Filing a complaint to the emperor is not a simple matter, you have to roll on an iron nail board first." Mrs. Huang said, wiping her tears.
Chun Nuan... at this mont, she would rather her third aunt weren’t so knowledgeable.
How to say it?
Sotis third aunt spoke without thinking.
She emphasized the process when everything was already fine.
"Yu’er, a girl who was always pampered, faced such a great pain just a month after giving birth, how did she get through it?" Mrs. Xu cried almost to the point of fainting.
The old lady was both heartbroken and gratified.
"My Xiao family’s daughters, none are lacking."
"Grandmother doesn’t bla eldest sister for ruining the reputation of the Xiao family’s daughters?" Chun Nuan was still quite surprised. After all, in the Capital, the reputation of the daughters of noble families was the most important thing. A single misstep could implicate all the daughters of the clan.
"What’s the point of reputation when life is at stake?" After experiencing fragntation, the old lady’s temperant had really changed: "Besides, we are in Shu City, far away, Yu’er had no one to rely on, it wasn’t easy for her to struggle and survive alone, why would I bla her? What right do I have to bla her?"
"Grandmother, I thank you on behalf of my eldest sister!"
The old lady’s words successfully ward Chun Nuan, this was love, infinite and accommodating love from family.
"Nuannuan, you write to your eldest sister, if she can’t stay in the Capital any longer, let her bring Panpan to Shu City, and we’ll be together as a family, she’ll always be the eldest Miss of the Xiao family."
"Yes, grandmother."
However, Chun Nuan knew that her eldest sister had a dream: to earn enough money to buy a house again in the Capital, waiting for the Xiao family mbers to return from the Northern Desert and Shu City for a reunion.
Isn’t Panpan such a hope?
"Nuannuan." Her aunt suddenly asked, "How did your sister bring down the Wu family?"
Mrs. Xu was very puzzled and deeply shocked: How did her usually low-profile and discreet eldest daughter beco so courageous?
If it were herself, she might not have dared to take this step.
"Eldest sister probably accidentally discovered the Wu family’s weakness, otherwise she wouldn’t have risked everything to do what she did."
"Fortunately, she succeeded." Mrs. Xu wiped her tears and said: "She must have been in so much pain at the ti."
"Aunt, no need to worry, what doesn’t kill us only makes us stronger."
Aunt would not know, the days ahead for eldest sister in the Capital would be even more painful.
