Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 415 Aunt Deng’s Cry

Aunt Deng is about thirty years old. Although she has given birth to three children, she has maintained herself well and still has charm.

Especially when she spoke, she sounded pitiful. If a man saw her, he might feel pity for her.

But Si He looked at her indifferently, not even standing up to salute her. She continued to hold the round fan in her hand and fanned it gently, "Just barely surviving."

Si He's tone was also indifferent, without a trace of emotion, and her answer was very perfunctory.

Aunt Deng pursed her lips upon seeing this and said, "Sister Qu, are you blaming me for not bringing you back all these years?"

Si He looked at her quietly without saying anything, as if she agreed with what she said.

Aunt Deng's eyes suddenly became moist, and she cried, "Do you know how I have been living in the Guo family these years..."

She paused as she spoke, obviously concerned for the servants around her. After a moment, she continued, "I wanted to bring you back, but I was powerless."

After she finished speaking, her tears began to fall like beads, one drop at a time, and she looked very sad.

But Si He's heart seemed to be made of stone. She remained indifferent and calm, not saying a word.

Guo Jiayan, who was standing by, couldn't stand it any longer and immediately interrupted, "Guo Jiaqu, mother is talking to you, what's wrong with your attitude?"

Si He raised a faint sneer on her lips and said, "So what do you want from me? To cry with you? You may not be living well, but at least you have fine clothes and delicious food, and you're not starving or sick. What else do you want?"

Compared to them, the real Guo Jiaqu lived a miserable life. She did not help Guo Jiaqu to take revenge, which was considered merciful to them.

After all, she didn't know what happened back then, and she didn't want to get involved in these trivial matters.

Moreover, when she returned to the Guo family just now, she stayed in Qingyin Courtyard for two days. At that time, Aunt Deng did not come to visit her, but now she came here specifically to cry and complain.

Guo Jiayan's face was slightly furious. "How can you be so cold-blooded?! My mother and I have come all the way to see you, and yet you are so cold and mean! This is so disappointing. Where are your manners?"

Si He looked at this nominally younger sister and said, "Where are your manners? You yell at your elder sister."

Guo Jiayan glared at her with a stern face and said, "You were the first to be rude. You didn't even stand up to greet your mother!"

Si He stopped arguing with them and said bluntly: "So you are here to lecture me? If you are done, you can leave now."

She showed no mercy and just shouted to drive the person away.

Aunt Deng quickly said, "No, Sister Qu, we want to talk to you alone."

She looked at Si He with pleading eyes, and then glanced at the servants around her.

Si He thought about it and finally asked the servants to move away a distance, leaving only Gao You and Gao Zi.

Aunt Deng also asked her maids to leave, leaving no one behind. Then, she looked at Gao You and Gao Zi and said, "Are these two the maids of the Yue family?"

Yesterday, Aunt Deng heard that these two maids beat up the Fifth Young Master's men with great skills. She didn't expect that the Yue family valued her so much and sent such a powerful maid to protect her.

Si He said, "Just say whatever you want to say."

She had no intention of letting Gao You and Gao Zi leave. After all, they were not members of the Guo family, and there was nothing they couldn't listen to.

Aunt Deng bit her lip when she saw this, then sat down on a chair beside her and said to her politely, "Sister Qu, the doctor said that your health is not good. I'll have someone send you some tonic medicine later. Take good care of yourself these days. Once you get well, it will be easier for you to gain a foothold in the Yue family when you marry into it."

When Guo Jiayan heard her mother say this, she stood aside and stopped interrupting, but her expression still looked a little bad.

Si He continued to fan herself calmly, as if she didn't care about it at all and wasn't in a hurry, just listening to her quietly.

Now, it seemed that Aunt Deng was even more anxious. "Sister Qu, please don't be so careless. This is a serious matter. If you can't take good care of yourself, how can you continue to have children for the Yue family? Without children, even if you are the legal wife, your position will be unstable and life will be difficult."

Si He responded calmly, "Yeah."

Seeing this, Guo Jiayan wanted to interrupt again, but was stopped by Aunt Deng with a glare.

Aunt Deng continued, "Sister Qu, I'm thinking of you out of kindness. When you get married, you'll understand how well-intentioned I am. You're still young, and it's urgent for you to recover. I'll find a way for you."

As she spoke, she took off a jade bracelet from her wrist and put it into Si He's hand. "Qu Jie'er, this is the ancestral jade bracelet that I wore when I married into the Guo family. I originally planned to leave it to De Ge'er's wife in the future, but you have suffered so much over the years. I owe you so much to you. It's my fault that I couldn't take you back sooner..."

When she said this, she couldn't help crying again.

Guo Jiayan, who was standing by, softened her tone and whispered, "Mom, this is not your fault."

The mother and daughter seemed to have a sincere relationship, the mother was loving and the daughter was filial. Outsiders might be moved by this, but Si He just sat there quietly, watching, as if she was just a strange bystander, and a cold-blooded one at that, without the slightest emotion.

Aunt Deng cried for a while, then looked up at her. She was stunned for a moment and even stopped crying. It was obvious that she did not expect her to be so indifferent and even more cold-hearted than she had imagined.

Suddenly, she felt that this was not her own daughter, and was very strange.

Although Guo Jiaqu was still young when she was exiled, only eight years old, and was just a child who had not yet grown up, although she was also cute, no one expected that she would grow up to be so good-looking. She did not look like her at all, especially those cold eyes.

Originally, Aunt Deng thought that girls change a lot when they grow up, and it was normal to feel unfamiliar after not seeing each other for nearly ten years, but this was too much of a unfamiliarity.

In fact, I had this strange feeling when we first met. At that time, there was no contact, so I didn't think much about it. Now that we are in close contact, this feeling is even stronger. It is an intuition, an intuition without any evidence.

Guo Jiayan saw her mother stop crying and followed her gaze. Seeing that her elder sister was still indifferent, her anger deepened. "Mom, let's go! She is a cold-blooded, ungrateful person!"

Aunt Deng finally regained her composure and said quickly, "Sister Yan, don't talk nonsense. Your elder sister just hasn't seen us for many years and we're a little estranged."

As she spoke, she turned to Si He, "Qu Jie'er, don't mind it. Your sister is just outspoken and has no ill intentions."

Si He glanced at the jade bracelet in her hand. It was of excellent quality, made of fine white jade, smooth and delicate. She placed the bracelet on the table beside her and said to Aunt Deng, "I appreciate your kindness. Please take the bracelet back."
