Tears fell like broken beads, pattering down.
Mrs. Zhang was also tear-streaked; she quickly wiped away her tears and smiled while doing her hair, "Today is a good day, no crying."
"Last time, when I personally sent you into the depths of the Qi Mansion, this time it won't be the same. Mother will definitely hold you up."
"Mianmian, if Mr. Xie ever treats you poorly, if you suffer even a little, you must tell your father and me. No matter what, our family will seek justice for you and protect you!!"
Ruan Mian wiped her tears and nodded heavily, "Mother, you've promised that if I want to return home, you..."
"Why is there any talk of returning? This is your home for life, even if you marry out, this is always your home!"
Looking at the joyous characters pasted on the dilapidated earthen walls, Ruan Mian's heart felt enveloped by their radiant glow.
