Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
She had already returned to the Divine World for so long. In the mortal world, decades or hundreds of years might have passed.
She was naturally prepared. She had already let go of everything. This time would be her last time going back.
Long Yi kissed Liu Sanniang’s eye and brought her out of this extremely cold place.
The cold winter had passed, and the spring breeze woke up everything that had been sleeping for a season.
New green leaves grew on the trees, and peach blossoms bloomed one after another.
Children’s laughter was heard on the streets and aisles.
“Slow down, slow down. Don’t fall.”
The two elders walked past the garden arm in arm and instructed the children playing in the garden gently.
The three children, who were energetic and ruddy, shouted in unison with smiles, “Grandma, don’t worry. We know.”
The two elders walked to the stone table and sat down. They watched as the children played. One moment, they were climbing trees and breaking branches, and the next moment, they were playing with each other. They were very happy.
“Sister-in-law, look at these children. They’re so happy. I suddenly remembered my childhood. How did we all grow old in the blink of an eye?”
Ye Niuniu sighed and couldn’t help but reach out to touch her wrinkled face. She was already 57 years old this year.
Who didn’t want their youth to last forever?
Tang An patted the back of Ye Niuniu’s hand. “Niuniu, I think the weather is good today. Why don’t we bring Mother out to bask in the sun?”
Their father-in-law had passed away. Now, their mother-in-law was not in good health either and didn’t seem to have much time left.
Ye Niuniu looked at the sunlight and nodded. “Then let’s go. The weather today is indeed not bad. It’s been dark and gloomy for almost ten days. It’s rare for it to be sunny.”
Madam Wei was seriously ill. It was good for her to come out and get some sun exposure.
The two of them stood up. Tang An instructed the children, “Yan, have fun. I’ll go and bring your great-grandmother out to bask in the sun.”
The three children were already sweating profusely. Hearing the instructions, they agreed loudly, “Okay.”
After saying that, the three of them continued to play as if they had endless energy.
Tang An and Ye Niuniu smiled and walked back.
The Liu Mansion was very big. After Mr. Liu passed away, Madam Wei still lived in the main courtyard.
Madam Wei was not in good health. Ever since last winter, she had been bedridden. Ye Niuniu and Tang An had been taking care of her.
The two of them entered the main courtyard together. When the maidservant saw them, she quickly bowed. “Hello, First Madam and Second Madam.” “How’s Old Madam?”
Ye Niuniu asked the maidservants.
The maidservant replied truthfully, “Old Madam has been sleeping a lot for the past few days and is not in good spirits. She hasn’t woken up yet today. I’ve gone in to take a look several times. Old Madam said that she still wants to sleep and asked me not to disturb her. She hasn’t eaten anything today either.”
Tang An and Ye Niuniu were a little worried and suddenly had a feeling that Madam Wei’s time was almost up.
The two of them immediately entered the house.
The spacious main room was cool and comfortable. Madam Wei lay on the bed peacefully. Her hair was completely white.
Tang An and Ye Niuniu immediately went forward and squatted down by the bed. Tang An called out softly, “Mother, Mother…”
Ye Niuniu’s eyes turned red as she called out, “Mother, wake up.”
Ye Niuniu grabbed Madam Wei’s old hand and shook it.
In a daze, Madam Wei woke up. She opened her eyes and looked at Tang An and Ye Niuniu. For a moment, she was in a daze. It took her a while to come back to her senses. “It’s An and Niuniu.”
When Tang An and Ye Niuniu saw that Madam Wei had woken up, they were happy. The two of them grabbed Madam Wei’s hand and nodded. “Mother, you’re awake.”
Madam Wei nodded slowly. She was old, and her reaction was very slow. Her two good daughters-in-law were also old, and their youthful looks were gone, but they were still as good as ever.
Madam Wei felt proud of them. “Both of you are very good daughter-in-laws.”
Madam Wei looked at Tang An and Ye Niuniu and said something unintelligible.
“I had a long dream and dreamed of Sanniang. She promised to come back to see me, but after she left, she never came back..”
Madam Wei’s eyes were filled with tears. Her words frightened Tang An and Ye Niuniu.
Ye Niuniu said, “Sister-in-law, watch Mother for a while. I’ll go out and get the servants to find Eldest Brother and Erlang.”
Tang An nodded with red eyes. Ye Niuniu stood up in a panic and ran out as she wiped her tears.
Madam Wei was still in a daze as she muttered to herself, “In my dream, she really made my heart ache. My poor daughter.”
Tang An kept wiping her tears, but she comforted Madam Wei. “Mother, have you forgotten? Sanniang has become an immortal.”
Madam Wei was stunned for a while before saying, “Yes, yes, Sanniang has already become immortal. It’s something we should be happy about.”
When Madam Wei stopped crying, Tang An asked, “Mother, the weather is very good today. There are many flowers blooming outside. Can I take you out to take a look?”
Tang An’s tone was gentle as she coaxed Madam Wei.
Madam Wei nodded. “Alright, I’ve been staying indoors for the entire winter. I just want to go out and get some fresh air. Is spring already here? How fast.”
At this moment, Madam Wei finally came back to her senses and realized that this was not a dream.
Tang An quickly helped Madam Wei up and put a coat on her.
With the help of Tang An and the maidservants, Madam Wei got into the wooden wheelchair. Tang An and the maidservants pushed Madam Wei out.
After instructing the servants, Ye Niuniu ran over with red eyes. When she saw Tang An pushing Madam Wei out, she hurriedly went forward to help. Madam Wei looked at the flowers in the garden. It was indeed green and filled with vitality..
