Chapter 322 Reunion 1
With a 'flutter,' the birds on the branch were startled and flew away in a group.
The bees also drank their fill of nectar and returned home laden with their bounty.
Inside the Spring Herald Courtyard, Ping'er and the other maids all stood guard at the entrance.
Ping'er looked at the closed door with a worried expression.
"Sister Ping'er, what happened? The old lady was just happily in the garden, why is she crying now?" a maid asked curiously.
She noticed that when Grandma Shen returned, her eyes were red.
Ping'er didn't say anything, only that the wind made her squint.
She didn't actually know the specifics.
She had been serving Old Madam Shen for some time and rarely saw her lose her composure like this.
There was silence in the room.
The jade pendant was placed on the small table on the soft couch.
Wanyue didn't know what had happened. She sat there obediently, not daring to say a word.
Experience told her that it was best to stay quiet and not say a word at this time.
After a while, Old Mrs. Shen finally calmed down a bit.
A knock came from the door.
Shen Yu'an walked to the door and opened it.
Ping'er brought water for washing her face, as instructed by Shen Yu'an.
She wisely put down the basin and quietly left, closing the door behind her.
Shen Cao stood up at this moment. Old Mrs. Shen had been watching her closely. Seeing her stand up, she became excited and wanted to stand up as well.
"Madam, please sit down, I'm not leaving."
She definitely can't leave until things are explained clearly.
Only then did Mrs. Shen feel at ease enough to sit down.
Shen Cao got up and first used a clean cloth to wet it and wring it out.
He walked up to Old Mrs. Shen and handed it to her.
Grandma Shen took the handkerchief and wiped away the tears on her face.
Then she returned the handkerchief to Shen Cao.
Shen Cao walked to the washbasin stand, washed the cloth clean, and then wiped her face clean.
After she finished tidying everything up, she looked up at Shen Yu'an beside her.
The other person nodded and gave her an affirming look.
As if she had made up her mind, Shen Cao let out a long sigh and slowly turned around.
Grandma Shen kept a close eye on Shen Cao, her gaze never leaving her.
The moment he saw her turn around, his eyes widened, and then immediately welled up with tears.
His mouth was slightly open, and his chin trembled slightly.
At this moment, her world consisted only of this little girl who looked exactly like her daughter when she was a child.
It was as if time had rewound to several decades ago, when her daughter was the same age.
Every day when he comes back, he goes to her yard, calls her "Mother" first, then runs over and throws himself into her arms to act cute.
After a long while, reality pulled her back to reality. Looking at the little girl in front of her, she burst into tears.
"Woooo..."
Wanyue didn't know why her grandmother was crying. She was also puzzled when she arrived today, wondering why Sister Cao'er had put something on her face.
If she hadn't been very familiar with Sister Cao'er, she definitely wouldn't have recognized her.
She grew up in the palace. Although she is innocent and kind, it doesn't mean she doesn't understand anything.
At that moment, she looked down at the jade pendant, then at her weeping grandmother, and then at her sister Cao'er's face.
The truth gradually became clear in her mind.
She turned to look at Shen Yu'an.
With just one glance, she got the answer from Shen Yu'an's eyes.
Sister Cao'er is indeed her biological sister.
She is very happy.
From the first time she met Sister Cao'er, she felt that she was very kind to her.
As she gradually became more familiar with Sister Cao'er, she felt herself becoming more and more dependent on her and increasingly reluctant to be separated from her.
She initially attributed it to her sisters whom she had never been close to, which is why she treated Sister Grass this way.
So she was very angry when her cousin wanted to leave Xin'an County ahead of schedule.
Because she knew she might never be able to go to Xin'an County again in her lifetime.
She has grown up.
The princess has grown up and it's time for her to take on her responsibilities.
But she couldn't bear to part with her sister, Grass.
Therefore, she immediately put her cousin's suggestion into practice.
As soon as she arrived in the capital, she asked Wei Siyu to find her a shop.
My cousin is right. If she can't go to Xin'an County, she can just find a way to "trick" Sister Cao'er into coming to the capital.
Anyway, she's a princess, so she can be a little willful.
With Sister Cao'er in the capital, she certainly won't be bullied.
Before she was ready, Sister Cao'er had already arrived in the capital.
She was overjoyed because at the same time, her mother told her that her older sister had been found.
She thought that when her older sister came back, even if everyone ignored her, she would still have her sister Cao'er to keep her company, so she probably wouldn't feel too disappointed.
She secretly wanted to remind herself that she shouldn't throw a tantrum at this time.
However, the thought of someone she had never met coming to take her mother away made her feel somewhat down.
Therefore, she has left the palace more often these past few days.
She didn't want her mother to see her disappointed.
The Empress Dowager should be happy; she has been waiting for this moment for more than a decade.
She was all ready and had already accepted her unfamiliar older sister in her heart.
But today her cousin told her that Sister Cao'er is her biological sister.
After the initial shock came joy.
In that instant, she felt the flowers in her heart, which had been bowing low, suddenly raise their heads and bloom brilliantly.
She had only one thought on her mind.
Sister Cao'er is her biological older sister.
Sister Grass is her own sister!!!
Her mouth stretched wider and wider.
If it were Sister Cao'er, she wouldn't mind sharing half of her mother's love with her; no, she would be willing to share it all with her.
Because she knew that Sister Grass would also give her all her love.
She suddenly remembered what Aunt Lvwu had said when she first met Sister Cao'er: "Princess Wanyue, that girl named Shen Cao looks somewhat similar to you."
She was willing to give away the jade pendant that she had carried with her since childhood when she first met Sister Cao'er.
It turns out that everything has a traceable origin.
It turns out that as long as the right person is right for her, she won't feel disappointed at all.
On the contrary, I would feel guilty and wish I could give her all the good things in my life.
At this moment, there was a hint of heartache in her gaze as she looked at Shen Cao.
Gradually, her eyes filled with tears.
She thought of the hard work behind her sister Cao'er's sensible nature.
I thought of her extraordinary culinary skills at such a young age.
I've thought of so many things.
However, most of the kindness she received came from Sister Grass.
It turns out that she had been enjoying the love from her older sister for a long time.
At that moment, she felt that compared to what her older sister Cao'er had done, she, as the younger sister, had done far too little for her.
Thinking about it this way, she understood why her cousin was in such a hurry to return to Beijing.
He must have found out about Sister Cao'er's true identity at that time.
She turned around and glared fiercely at Shen Yu'an.
Shen Yu'an unconsciously touched his nose.
He hasn't made up his mind yet!
You can't blame him.
She got up, walked over to Shen Cao, took out her handkerchief, and gently wiped away the tears on Shen Cao's face.
He rested his head on Shen Cao's shoulder.
She softly uttered that word, both familiar and unfamiliar, "Sister!"
Shen Cao was taken aback. She was used to Wan Yue calling her "Sister Cao'er," and she was a little unaccustomed to Wan Yue calling her "Sister" all of a sudden.
After a long pause, she opened her mouth, her throat felt a little congested, and then she responded heavily, "Yes!"
Wanyue smiled with satisfaction.
Suddenly, a question flashed through her mind.
If Sister Cao'er is her biological sister, then who is the person who came from the border and is now on the way?
