Chapter 81: The Eldest Daughter's Conscience

Lovers of CrN! Please check out our awesome new novel, The Dragon Within!

I was lost. I was tired. I was hungry. Wading through the enchanted forest, I needed to find a way out, but each turn led me back to where I started. In desperation, I howled, crying for some salvation. That's when a majestic wolf with sleek, black fur and a commanding aura around it leaped out of nowhere. Afraid, I began to run but its voice stopped me in my tracks.

"You are lost, little lamb, might I be of some assistance?" it said.

"Who are you?" I asked, a whimper escaping my lips.

"I am the guardian of the forest, SlyOkami. I can help you escape but I have one request."

"W-w-what do you want from me?

"Listen to my tale and share it to the world. It's about time I make my presence known."

And so I complied, listening to its story and got familiar with the mystical wolf. I recorded our conversation here: Interview as well as his story which I shared here: Story I hope everyone will believe me and check them out!

"Nothing less from my mother!" Shi Yumei was impressed and happy. As she followed Xiuchun, she went on asking, "How's my mother's condition? Is she doing well? Has she been doing anything?" and so on.

Xiuchun briefly answered every question.

Seeing that Xiuchun had not returned for some time, Wang Shi affirmed for herself that her eldest daughter had arrived. After a moment of pondering and doubting, Wang Shi soon rejoiced and she smiled. "I didn't think that Yumei will be back. The festival will surely be lively! Good, good, that's really good!" After saying so, she asked Nanny Jiang whether she wore the appropriate clothes and whether a change was needed.

Nanny Jiang could not help but smile. "Eldest Miss is your daughter, and her husband is your younger generation. There's no need to be so stressed about it!"

That is true. Wang Shi thought for a while and nodded her head as she ordered the servants to quickly prepare the pastries and tea.

"Mother! Mother! I'm back to see you!" Upon arriving at the courtyard, Shi Yumei scurried and announced herself loudly without any cares for her husband's dissatisfied face.

Ren Zhixian furrowed his brows tightly and cussed a few times about how disgracefully his wife behaved.

Wang Shi could not help but blink a few times as she stood with a smile. "This kid, this kid! Why are you still yelling at such an age!"

"Mother, mother!" Pushing the gold silk curtains embroidered with peony dark patterns aside, Shi Yumei rushed into Wang Shi's arms before gently hugging her. Rubbing her cheeks in Wang Shi's embrace, she smiled affectionately, "Mother, I miss you so much!"

"Aiyo, you ah!" Wang Shi smiled and patted her back gently before smiling as she replied, "You're already this old yet you still act like a child! Show me that you can sit still properly!"

Shi Yumei chuckled and helped her mother to her chair, "Mother, your daughter isn't able to remain by your side and be filial. For that, I'll kowtow to show my sincerity!" With that, she took a few steps back. Without waiting for the servants to bring a cushion, she immediately kneeled on the dark red brocade rug before gesturing to her husband with a wink.

Having observed how disgraceful the interactions were between his wife and his mother-in-law, Ren Zhixian was extremely dissatisfied. He stood silently at a side and ignored his wife's gesture.
