Chapter 1225: Chapter 1225: How Precious It Is

...

Elsewhere, at the Zhou family residence.

"What did you say, Lin Caisang’s birth mother has returned?"

When Madam Zhou heard her husband speak in the courtyard about Liu Yuyang’s return, she rushed out of the kitchen in a flurry.

"Old Master, are you serious? Has Liu Yuyang really come back? Are you sure it’s not an imposter?"

She remembered Liu Yuyang from back in the day, as everyone had said that Lin Baizhong must have accumulated lifetimes of virtue to have married a lady as fair as Liu Yuyang. Even though her background was unclear, that face...

Just on account of that face, which man in Ya Village hadn’t drooled over her?

"Shut your beak!"

Old Master Zhou glared at her with cold eyes, barely stopping himself from slapping her across the face.

An imposter? He saw clearly, it was none other than Liu Yuyang herself. He had been quite fond of Liu Yuyang back then, and had Lin Baizhong not acted so swiftly, he would have surely taken Liu Yuyang as his second wife.

How could he possibly mistake another for her?

"I..."

Seeing his displeased expression, Madam Zhou had no choice but to shut her mouth sullenly.

She knew all too well the deeds of her husband back then, and she understood his character better than anyone.

Unfortunately, what wasn’t achievable back then was certainly impossible now. Not to mention Lin Caisang, that wretched girl, was skilled in underhanded tactics; they couldn’t outfight her.

Even Lin Changhong was a brute force to reckon with, and they couldn’t take the slightest advantage over him.

On top of that, there were two more Buddhas at home. Although they weren’t home today, by evening Feng Yurui and Lie Ming would return, and she would have to attend to them like an old maid.

And moreover...

Back when her husband doted on her, she hadn’t been able to secure Liu Yuyang for him. Now, frequently beaten and scolded, what would her life be like if Liu Yuyang were brought into the family? She might as well bash her head in and be done with it.

"How could she have come back?"

Upon hearing his son’s words, Elder Mr. Zhou also stepped out of his room, murmuring to himself.

After Liu Yuyang had disappeared, everyone said she had run away because she didn’t want to endure hardships in Ya Village with Lin Baizhong. Could it be that it wasn’t the case?

"Eldest, did you find out how Liu Yuyang came back?" he asked.

"The whole village is buzzing with the news; just listen around and you’ll hear," Old Master Zhou said.

"They say Liu Yuyang returned last night, and she was delivered by a carriage, with several servants and maids at her side. Box after box was carried from the carriage into Lin Caisang’s room, filling it to the brim.

However, I’ve heard that neither the carriage nor those servants and maids were seen today – who knows if those stories are true or false."

"But..."

Elder Mr. Zhou wanted to ask more, but Old Master Zhou was still talking.

"True or false aside, Father, I saw Liu Yuyang just now, and she hasn’t changed much from before. The key is her clothes; they’re clearly not something an ordinary family could afford. They’re exquisite."

Old Master Zhou said.

"Tsch."

Madam Zhou, standing aside with her head bowed, dared not to interject anymore, but she let out a snort of laughter.

Liu Yuyang surely had struggled outside, and hearing about Lin Caisang’s newfound riches, she must’ve come back, right? Madam Zhou supposed that the clothing was definitely Liu Yuyang’s finest, nothing but a facade to save face.
