<h4>Chapter 332 - Taking Her Daughter-inw Back</h4>


    "Godly handsome pwince. Why are you always alone? Don''t wowwy! I will always y with you!"


    The little girl blushed before Wei as she shyly said, "Godly handsome pwince, will you make me your wife?"


    "Godly handsome pwince, can I see fiwefly? It''s so pwetty! It shines and spawlkes!"


    "Godly handsome pwince, we will always be together!" Sheughed.


    Wei trembled and broke out of his stupor. He stared at Lihua''s picture in a daze. His thumb lovingly brushed along her face..


    "Lihua...you are finally here with me as my wife. No matter how bitter the truth might be for you, I...I cannot let you go. I don''t want you to hate me," his voice broke.


    He faintly smiled. "Didn''t you want me to make you my wife? See? Our dreams are fulfilled, right? So, how can I bear to break it?"


    ---


    Jiang vi.


    Old Madam took a deep breath and stood in front of the residence where Jiang Yubi lived with Jiang Weizhe. Years ago, she had banished her here. But now, it was time that she should be back.


    She slowly stepped into the vi.


    The maids who were doing their usual work jolted in shock. They looked at each other, aghast.


    O-Old Madam!?


    They quickly scurried together.


    "Oh my God! Why is Old Madam here!?"


    "She has never stepped here in all these years and now why would shee out of nowhere?"


    "Is it because of the birthday banquet? Oh dear, is she here to scold Mrs. Jiang?"


    "That must be it! Old Madam hates Mrs. Jiang. She cannot even tolerate her sight!"


    One of the maids worriedly said, "What should we do? It would surely be a bigmotion. Should we call Mr. Jiang?"


    "Yes, yes! He will handle everything. No, only he can take care of it."


    They hurriedly called Jiang Weizhe and quickly told him about Old Madam. There was silence at the other end.


    "Don''t do anything," he calmly said.


    The maids were dumbfounded. "Ah?"


    Isn''t sheing here a super bad news? Why is Mr. Jiang so calm today?


    "Let her talk to Yubi. I know why is there. There won''t be any problems."


    The maids were seriously puzzled.


    Old Madam saw Jiang Yubi in the main living room, where she was cleaning some pots and paintings. She was humming a soft tune with a gentle smile.


    Old Madam lowered her head and clenched her fists. She felt her heart thud in anxiety. She slowly said, "Yu-Yubi…"


    Jiang Yubi looked back and was startled upon seeing Old Madam. Her lips parted in a small O. "O-Old Madam…"


    Words failed to escape her mouth. She hastily put the pot away and said, "Y-you are here…"


    Jiang Yubi was nervous. If she had known that she was going to visit her residence, she would have made the appropriate preparations.


    Old Madam faintly smiled. "I understand you are shocked seeing me here. But I just wanted to talk to you for a bit...if you don''t mind."


    Jiang Yubi stared at her.


    She had always known her as a fierce woman who had always hated her rtionship with Jiang Weizhe. But now she knew the truth. Jiang Weizhe had told her everything, and the only thing she could do after learning such a horrible past about her was to cry. She felt thatpared to the struggles that Old Madam faced in her life, her difficulties were nothing.


    Jiang Yubi stepped forward and gently held her hand. "You don''t have to ask. I was always... waiting for this day."


    Old Madam trembled.


    They sat down on the couch and Jiang Yubi poured her a cup of tea that she specially made herself.


    Old Madam hesitated for a bit. She didn''t know where to start. There were too many things to share and so many feelings that she wanted her daughter-inw to know. She couldn''t understand what to say first.


    After giving it some thought, she said, "I heard from Weizhe that you refused toe back to the main residence."


    Jiang Yubi nodded.


    "May I ask why?" Old Madam clenched her stick. "There is no reason for you to live here anymore. Now, you can live where you truly belonged. I…" her body shook and tears slipped out of her eyes, "I am sorry for making you suffer for all these years…" she softly sniffled. "I apologize for all the wounds that I gave you. Because of me, you couldn''t live in aplete family. You spent most of your life as an orphan, but even after marriage, your dream couldn''t be fulfilled...all because of me. I am truly sorry, Yubi. Pleasee back…"


    First time...for the first time, Jiang Yubi saw her mother-inw crying in front of her. Her shoulders were trembling and her gaze emanated sadness and grief.


    "I have been a terrible mother-inw. I should have treated you like my daughter, but I couldn''t. Trust me. I was telling happy when Weizhe chose you to be his bride," she smiled through her tears. "He loved you, and I saw that you really loved him too. As a mother, I didn''t want anything else but to see my children happy. But I am sorry I couldn''t give you the rights that you deserved…It''s alright if you me me for all that happened. I have snatched your happiness from you. You can choose not to forgive me. But I sincerely wish that youe back…"


    The corner of Jiang Yubi''s eyes stung, and they turned misty.


    "I didn''te back not because I was angry at you. I just didn''t want to take any unfair advantage. For the first time, you looked so defeated and lost. I couldn''t bring myself to intrude in that state. I wanted you to ept me wholeheartedly, not because you lost the challenge with Lixue. I couldn''t bring myself to ept it."


    Old Madam weakly said, "Even after all these years, you were thinking about the woman who threw you out of the house?"


    Jiang Yubi smiled. "Of course. Isn''t it because you are my mother?"
