Chapter 102 There Will Be a Day
Thank you.

Mrs. Xie was holding a woven octagonal colored ball in her hand, teasing a baby in a cradle with a sleepy expression.

There are bells hanging on several corners of the octagonal ball, and when you shake it in your hand, it will make a crisp sound.

The baby in the cradle opened a pair of bright eyes, followed the movement of the colored ball in Mrs. Xie's hand, and smiled with its mouth open.

But Mrs. Xie looked at him, but she didn't seem to be looking at him, her expression was in a trance, without any reaction.

Seeing her like this, the woman who waited on her pointed out to her and said:
"Ma'am...Look, Mr. Xiao Lang smiled."

Mrs. Xie's dazed eyes were focused, and she turned her head to look at the mother-in-law, as if she had just realized what she said, so she looked at the baby in the cradle, forced a smile on her face, and said "hmm".

In the concubine's room sitting tremblingly beside him, the maid who had been taken as a concubine looked at Mrs. Xie cautiously.

He looked at his newborn son in the cradle again, and said in a low voice:
"Ma'am...you are the mistress. This child will be able to talk and call you mother in the future. Don't be sad. After Xie's family is born, this is a happy event."

After Madam Xie heard this, she didn't feel happy at all. She gently shook the colored ball in her hand, looked at the child in the cradle and said:

"If you call me mother, it's not my own birth... The Xie family has a queen, but my Yuaner is gone."

As she spoke, the tears fell down "patta", like beads with a broken thread.

When she cried like this, everyone in the room panicked.The mother-in-law quickly persuaded her, saying:

"Ma'am... don't cry, you forgot what the doctor told you, so you can't cry anymore... What's wrong with this?" He wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Mrs. Xie was motionless in a daze, but she couldn't stop her tears. Suddenly, she felt a black shadow flash past from the corner of her eye.Subconsciously raised his head to look at the door, his eyes flashed with excitement, and asked:
"Did you see it just now? Why do I feel that A Yuan ran past the door just now? Is she back? Go and see."

After hearing her words, the servant girl's mother-in-law had a look of panic on her face.

This is not the first time she has said this. Lang Zhong said that she is now thinking too much and always having hallucinations... If this goes on, she will be broken.

The maid standing at the door panicked for a moment, followed the old rules, quickly lifted the bamboo curtain and went out, looked around the yard, and when she came back, under Madam Xie's expectant eyes, she timidly replied:

"Ma'am... I have seen it all, but there is no sign of a girl, maybe you are dazzled again."

When Mrs. Xie heard this, her excited and shining eyes instantly turned extremely dark, and despair made her eyes dim, like a bottomless black pool in the dark night.

Everyone looked at her and became quiet. They said too many comforting words, but none of them worked, and now they don't know what to say.

In this way, only the baby occasionally made some noises in the room, and no one spoke.

Mrs. Xie suddenly asked blankly: "... I always feel that she is still at home, and I can always see some phantoms... Do you think she is gone?"

The mother-in-law was startled.If madam thinks so, wouldn't it be a big deal?The head of the family comforted her repeatedly, saying that the girl has the ability to protect herself, and lied to her that she had been found somewhere...

I'm just afraid that she won't be able to bear it and falls ill, or she can't think about it and commit suicide...

"Bah, bah, bah! Madame! Don't dare to think like that! Ah Yuan must be fine, aren't you cursing her by saying that?!"

There was a moment of guilt on Madam Xie's expression, and she said heartbrokenly:

"... Then why didn't she send a letter to her family? Didn't she say that she would send a letter to her family?... I'm really afraid... I, a mother, shouldn't force her... Otherwise, she I won't run away from home, it's all my fault."

Madam Xie burst into tears as she said that, as if she had been crushed, she was sobbing so hard that she couldn't make a sound.

The baby in the cradle seemed to feel something, and burst into tears along with "Wow".

The little concubine was so frightened that she quickly got up from the ground, took the child out of the cradle and coaxed him, fearing that his crying would offend Mrs. Xie.

This is messy enough...

The mother-in-law made a face to the concubine, and the concubine took the child out of the room, walked a little farther, and the piercing crying sound also disappeared, and the room was finally much quieter.

The mother-in-law knelt down, looked at Mrs. Xie, with tears in her eyes, and said:

"Ma'am... A Yuan was also a filial child since she was a child. Although she couldn't think of running out for a while, she must have missed you in her heart. If there is something wrong with you, she didn't expect it when she ran away, but she knew it later. For the rest of her life But how can you go there?"

The mother-in-law said, wiping tears for her distressedly, and said: "You listen to me, even if it is for her consideration, you have to cheer up and hold on, and wait for the day when we will meet again in the future."

Mrs. Xie turned her red and swollen eyes from crying, looked at her in a daze, and asked with half hope and half doubt:
"Will there really be such a day?"

"Yes! As long as you take good care of your body... there will always be a day!" The woman said firmly.

Mrs. Xie took several breaths, calmed down the pain in her chest, forced herself to pull herself together, and said:
"Okay... I listen to you."

At this moment, Father Xie's excited voice came from outside. He laughed and ran over in a hurry. Before entering the house, he shouted loudly:
"Ma'am! There is news from A Yuan, she wrote a letter to Liu Zhen!"

Mrs. Xie stood up suddenly, because she got up so fast, her eyes went dark, and she almost fell down.

When Xie Yun and the mother-in-law saw each other, they hurriedly supported her.

Mrs. Xie closed her eyes and took a while to endure the darkness. As soon as she opened her eyes, she snatched the letter paper from her husband's hand, and read the contents of the letter with trembling pupils.

Some didn't believe it, and read a few key words several times before raising his eyes to look at Father Xie, and asked in a little confusion:
"Is this true? Will Liu Zhen lie to us?"

"Why did he lie to us with this matter?" Father Xie said happily, "Fortunately... A Yuan is fine, that's great."

Mrs. Xie looked at her husband suspiciously, tears welled up in her eyes again, she cried and asked, "Husband...are you lying to me again?"

She used the word "you", so she already knew in her heart that what he said about finding Xie Yuan's trace was all to coax her.

Xie Yun was stunned for a moment, seeing her pain in his heart, he quickly swore to the sky: "Ma'am! I really didn't lie to you this time! If there is a mistake, there will be a thunderbolt from the sky."

Mrs. Xie burst into tears when she heard this, and she cried and laughed at the same time, and asked, "Then...then why didn't she write to us?"

"Didn't Liu Zhen say that, I'm afraid we'll find her and come back like this." Father Xie said here, and anxiously walked around the house several times, and said, "No, I have to go to Pingcheng and find Liu in person. Zhen asked, read the letter A Yuan sent him, and found a way to find her back."

Mrs. Xie looked at the ecstatic appearance of her husband, and she was in a trance, as if in a dream. At this time, the woman next to her said excitedly:

"Madam... Did you hear that, A Yuan is coming back soon, our girl is coming back soon! Stop crying."
