Chapter 190 Mother and Daughter Have a Heart-to-Heart Talk
Sunlight streamed through the windows into Chaohua Palace, creating a warm atmosphere. Ying Wuyou, however, was still fast asleep, lost in a sweet dream. These past few days had been exhausting. Previously, she had handled things methodically, one after another, but now several matters were piling up at once, requiring her to respond and resolve them quickly. This hectic pace left her overwhelmed, spinning like a top every day.
It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky, well past noon, that Ying Wuyou finally woke up. She stretched lazily, savoring the long-lost comfort and relaxation. She had slept soundly and thoroughly, making up for all the sleep she had missed. After all, children's energy always recovers quickly; a good night's rest is all it takes to make up for any lost sleep.
After getting up, Ying Wuyou washed and dressed carefully. Realizing she hadn't visited Madam Wang for almost half a month, a pang of guilt welled up inside her. So, she summoned her personal maid, Cui'er, and together they went to Madam Wang's courtyard. Along the way, Ying Wuyou walked briskly, her mood cheerful.
When they arrived at Madam Wang's courtyard, they found Madam Wang sitting intently by the window, sewing. Ying Wuyou's soft footsteps caught Madam Wang's attention. She looked up, saw her daughter, and a joyful smile immediately bloomed on her face. Madam Wang quickly stood up, hurried to greet Ying Wuyou, and took her hand, asking with concern, "My dear daughter, what brings you here to visit your mother today?"
Ying Wuyou smiled sweetly and replied, "Mother, I've been so busy lately that I haven't been able to find the time. I finally managed to get some free time today, so I rushed over to see you. I wonder how you are doing lately? Are you in good health?"
Madam Wang gazed gently at Ying Wuyou before her, a warm smile, like a spring breeze, playing on her lips. She said softly, "My good child, everything is fine. I know you are busy all day long, but what you do is of great importance to the country and the people! I will take good care of myself and will never be a burden to you or hold you back."
Ying Wuyou tightly grasped Madam Wang's hands, her eyes filled with guilt and self-reproach. She sincerely replied, "Mother, please don't say that! It's actually my fault. Even if I'm very busy, I should still make time for you. This time I was negligent, please punish me, Mother." As she spoke, Ying Wuyou gently lowered her head, like a child who had done something wrong waiting for an adult's forgiveness.
Madam Wang reached out her other hand and gently stroked Ying Wuyou's lustrous black hair, as if cherishing a rare treasure. Suddenly, her eyes welled up with tears, which streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably. Yet, she still wore a smile, a smile that contained both relief and a hint of indescribable bitterness.
Seeing this, Ying Wuyou quickly stepped forward and hugged Madam Wang's slender waist tightly, gently comforting her, "Mother, please don't cry. Those difficult days are all gone. From now on, we, mother and daughter, will never have to be bullied again. I will do everything in my power to protect you and will never let anyone hurt you in the slightest."
Hearing Ying Wuyou's sincere and considerate words, Madam Wang finally couldn't hold back and burst into tears. This was the first time in Ying Wuyou's life that Madam Wang had lost control of her emotions like this. In the past, no matter how wronged or painful Madam Wang was, she always silently endured it. Even when she cried, she would only sob softly, tears streaming down her face, never making a sound. But at this moment, perhaps because her long-suppressed emotions had finally been released, or perhaps because she was deeply moved by her daughter's care, Madam Wang cried so hysterically.
Ying Wuyou knew all too well that, ultimately, the reason for all this was simply that she and her daughter were not favored in this vast palace. Because of this, they could only live cautiously every day, not daring to make the slightest mistake. The Queen could only pretend to be weak and pitiful, trying to gain the sympathy of others.
However, Ying Wuyou knew that waiting for others' pity was vain; only by becoming strong could she truly control her destiny. Now, through tireless effort and exceptional intelligence, Ying Wuyou's status in the palace rose steadily, like a dazzling new star. And her mother, who had previously suffered much bullying, was no longer looked down upon because of her achievements.
Nevertheless, Ying Wuyou knew very well that Madam Wang still lacked a sense of security deep down. The suffering and humiliation she had endured in the past haunted her like a nightmare, making her constantly worry that her current happy situation would collapse in an instant, and everything would return to that dark time of the past. So, Ying Wuyou stood silently to the side, quietly waiting for Madam Wang to cry her heart out and release her fear and anxiety.
After Lady Wang calmed down a bit, Ying Wuyou slowly spoke, "Mother, please rest assured. All the glory and honor I have now is earned through my own hard work and struggle, not by relying on Father's temporary favor. Therefore, even if we lose this favor in the future, we need not fear becoming an object of bullying again. Mother, please believe in me, I will do everything in my power to protect you and will never let anyone have the chance to hurt you again!"
Hearing her daughter's firm and resolute words, Madam Wang finally smiled with relief and softly replied, "Alright, Mother believes you."
Seeing this, Ying Wuyou's expression became even more solemn, and he continued earnestly, "Mother, the things in this world are complicated and ever-changing. There is no such thing as easily obtaining success and happiness by relying on the kindness or conscience of others. Everything must be achieved through our own efforts and struggles."
After glancing at Madam Wang, Ying Wuyou continued, "No matter how many hardships and difficulties we have experienced in the past, from now on, Mother must never place all her hopes on others. Only when we are strong enough can we face the storms of life without fear."
Ying Wuyou looked at her mother with unwavering eyes, then said slowly, "Mother, do you know? The reason why our Great Qin is so powerful is not just because of the men's bravery on the battlefield! Women can also play a vital role. For example, I recently arranged for people to learn how to knit sweaters, hoping to do my part to support the soldiers at the front." As she spoke, she gently grasped Madam Wang's hand, her eyes full of expectation and encouragement.
Hearing her daughter's words, Lady Wang couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. She quickly replied, "Good child, your idea is truly excellent. In that case, your mother is naturally willing to learn how to knit. After all, being able to do something for Great Qin and for those brave and fearless soldiers makes your mother happy." After saying this, the mother and daughter smiled at each other, their hearts filled with deep affection and a shared determination to serve their country.
For the rest of the time, the mother and daughter chatted happily about knitting sweaters. Ying Wuyou explained her ideas for the sweater designs to her mother in detail, while Madam Wang listened quietly. Before they knew it, it was time for dinner.
So, Ying Wuyou stayed at Madam Wang's place and enjoyed a sumptuous and delicious meal with her. During the meal, the mother and daughter chatted and laughed, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere. After finishing the meal, Ying Wuyou got up to take her leave, departing from her mother's residence with a heart full of joy.
