Chapter 147: Chapter 147: The Dependable Outsider Arrives during the Second Watch(2)_1

"Mother, it’s time for your medicine."

The door curtain was lifted, and the eldest daughter, Sanchun Gao, came in with a bowl of black medicine. Her pretty little face was full of fatigue and undisguised anxiety.

The woman lying on the pillow looked weakly at her daughter and asked, "Sanchun, where did you get the money to buy medicine? And, your father, how did he agree to let you girls out?"

Sanchun sat at the edge of her mother’s Kang, raising her head a little higher while feeding her the medicine, she detailed the events of last night.

After listening, a smile appeared on the woman’s pale face, "So, it was that Miss who hurt that beast Gao Jia and saved us mother and daughter, right?"

"Exactly!" Sanchun responded.

Upon hearing this, the woman put her hand over her forehead and said, "Thank heavens, thanks to the help of a noble person, we were able to escape. Otherwise, I fear I would have been killed by that beast yesterday, and in a few days, you might have been forced to marry that bastard son of Magistrate Li to be a concubine!"

Sanchun comforted her, "Mother, let’s not talk about those upsetting things. Are we not well now? Rest and recover from your injury and once you are better, we will go to the Capital to join uncle."

Speaking of their future life, a look of anticipation slowly broke through on Sanchun’s small face. She had endured years of torment from Lady Bai and nearly desired death. Finally free, she was determined to live a good life and dutifully serve her mother!

"Yes, it will be good once we leave here." The woman nodded and closed her eyes in exhaustion.

Over a decade of love and mutual support had been ruined by a vulgar prostitute. Her life was nothing but a joke, devoid of any meaning or value. If not for her two daughters, she would wish to sleep forever, never waking up to face the cruel reality!

"Mother, Sister, the woman who saved us yesterday is here again!"

The excited voice of Zhao Di, a little seven or eight years old girl, was heard through the door.

This kind lady was not only beautiful but also kind-hearted. She had given them so much silver, and even bought chicken and bread for them today, truly a generous person!

Hearing that the noble lady had arrived, the woman quickly beckoned her daughters,

"Sanchun, Zhao Di is talking about the Miss who rescued us, right? Quick, help me get up, I want to show my gratitude to Miss in person."

With that, leaning on her daughter, she tried to rise to her feet despite the severe pain.

As soon as Cai Wei entered, she saw the severely injured woman struggling to get up to show gratitude, she rushed to her side, her hand on her shoulder.

"Auntie, there’s no need for formalities. You’re about the same age as my mother, I cannot accept such a grand gesture! Besides, saving you was just a small effort, not worth mentioning."

Moved, the woman said, "Miss, it was not just a small effort, it was a lifesaver! When our lives were hanging by a thread, without your righteous action, my daughter and I would have ..."

Even before finishing her sentence, her eyes turned red and her voice choked with emotion.

With a few tears rolling down her cheeks along with her mother, Sanchun held her little sister’s hand and made a solemn bow to Cai Wei.

"Yesterday happened so suddenly, and I haven’t had the chance to express my gratitude. Please forgive us, Miss."

Being a modern person, Cai Wei wasn’t as concerned with formalities as ancient people. After being thanked by the mother and daughter, she became somewhat embarrassed. She sat with them for a while, chatting and learning about the past of the woman.

It turned out that the woman’s surname was Yin. She and the man who beat her, Gao Jia, had been together since childhood. They’d been married for seventeen years and had once lived a loving, respectful, and blissful family life.
