Volume 1: Yun Family Has A Daughter Chapter 36: Moon God Festival

  "Mother, why did I have premature birth back then?"

  "It's all mom's fault. At that time, you were already seven months old, and it just so happened to be winter. Mom saw that the weather was good that day, so she wanted to go out for a walk, but accidentally fell down. If that day wasn't when mom wanted to go out, you wouldn't have been born prematurely, and your body wouldn't be so weak. You were taken away by Cloud Wandering's Empty Abbot to Lonely Cloud Temple for ten years. It's all mom's fault!"

  Tong's family thought back to that year and said sadly, if it wasn't for her own stubbornness at the time, her daughter would definitely be fine.

  "Mom, don't be sad, I'm fine, aren't I?"

  Momo hugged her mother's arm and leaned on her mother's body to comfort her.

  Returned to Anhe Temple, comforted Tongshi for a while, and saw that she was fine, then returned alone to Simo Pavilion.

  The little maid of the Xīnghé Pavilion said that Wúyōu had not returned yet, and Mèngmèng couldn't help but feel curious. This Wúyōu, since coming to the Yún Fǔ, was always going out, no one knew what he was doing, sometimes for a whole day without seeing his shadow.

  Although she was curious, she had never asked, and Worry was her good sister. If she didn't say anything, she wouldn't interfere either.

  Days passed by, and it had been two months since Momo returned from the Lonely Cloud Temple. She wrote several letters to her master and Second Brother, but each time she only received a reply from her master, with no news of Second Brother at all, except for one sentence that her master relayed on his behalf: Everything is fine!

  Although I'm not very happy in my heart, as long as he's all right, that's all that matters!

  It's already midsummer, the hottest time of the year. She didn't feel like going out either, and after paying respects to Lady Tong every day, she would stay in Si Meng Ge, studying medicine, wanting to cure her mother as soon as possible. However, she wasn't skilled in this type of illness, so she could only slowly explore and help her mother recover.

  That old lady has been very quiet lately, I heard it was Old Master himself who went to tell her that the Yun Manor doesn't need any more extra sons and daughters. Also heard that Madame Yun is ill with anger, and also heard that Yun Yue takes care of her every day without even changing his clothes... The eldest son of the Yun Manor is coming back...

  These things have little to do with her, and if they continue to behave in the future, I believe everyone's life will be much better!

  Just as she was lost in thought, a voice came from outside the door, saying that the two young ladies had arrived. Mo Mo responded with a "yes" and saw her two sisters walk in.

  "Give greetings to your elder sister!"

  "No need for formalities! Didn't I say so? We're all sisters from the same family, no need to be so polite!"

  These days, they all come to Si Mian Ge for a short stay. Mo Mo is used to it, but they always bow and scrape, making her feel helpless.

  "Sister is older, how dare we be rude? Ah, right, big sister, today when I came over, I ran into second brother. Second brother was also very boring by himself, so little sister took the initiative to bring him over."

  The speaker was Yun Qing, the third in line, who was already ten years old and spoke with a somewhat grown-up tone. As he spoke, he pulled over Yun Zhu and pushed him in front of Mo Mo.

  "Haha, we're all family, let's get lively! What's with the blaming and not blaming? Don't be formal with me! Come on, Yunzhu come over here and show your sister!"

  She gazed at her younger brother in front of her, who looked a bit nervous and shy. He was very handsome, and was already eight years old, it was said. Upon closer inspection, he bore some resemblance to their father, except that this child looked too small. Although Mother had been busy with the kitchen, they were all equally portioned out, but after all, she had lost a lot of weight, and now seemed only slightly better in complexion.

  "Want to come and play later? Just come over, are you afraid that I'll eat you up?"

  Seeing him so timid, Mu Mu couldn't help but joke and say.

  "Sister doesn't eat people, second sister and third sister all say big sister is good!"

  Yunzhu looked up at her and said with a red face. Everyone in the house burst out laughing when they heard this.

  "Hehe, so cute! Come on, this has a little heart, it's delicious, come and eat!"

  Momo sees that he is timid, but still looks good, although not a girl, if they can get along well, then just get along well!

  "Sister, in just a few days it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it's going to be lively outside. Are you going out to have some fun?"

  Nine-year-old Yunyao beside her asked with an expectant face.

  Moon God Festival, as the name suggests, is a festival for worshiping the moon. This festival is similar to the ancient Chinese Qixi Festival, but it is celebrated on June 16th every year. On this evening, each household must kneel down and worship the moon when it rises, led by the oldest female elder in the family, with all the women praying for blessings from the Moon God.

  "It's up to you two little girls to go yourselves!"

  How could Mo Mo not know their thoughts? When Aunt Li was in charge of the household, she was very strict with them. If they wanted to sneak out and play and were discovered, they would definitely not escape a beating. Now that Mother is in charge, their days are much better, but for safety's sake, Mother may not necessarily agree to let them go out.

  "Sister, let's go out and have some fun that day. I heard those girls say it's going to be lively, with acrobatic performances and lots of food!"

  Yun Yao feared she wouldn't agree, and continued to persuade her, while Yun Qing also nodded repeatedly beside them.

  Mo Mo couldn't help but want to laugh at their tense appearance, but she held it in. She intentionally furrowed her brow and put on a difficult expression, waiting until they were about to lose their patience before smiling and saying:

  "Just go if you want to, I'll just mention it to mom later!"

  Two little girls heard this and jumped up excitedly, they were very thrilled. Even the quiet Yunzhu beside them was infected, a pair of eyes looked at Mo Mo with anticipation.

  Momo was touched by his pitiful look and patted his head saying: "Let's go play with the sisters later!"

  Yunzhu looked at her incredulously, nodding happily with his eyes narrowed into a slit.

  Laughing and shaking my head, I feel like I'm becoming more and more like a kid! Thinking back to my past life, whenever that person said they'd take me out to play, I was over the moon with excitement, eagerly anticipating the day's arrival. It's been ages since I've felt that kind of anticipation, but today, it seems to have been reignited!

  If it weren't for that medical accident, she would have graduated from university smoothly and be working a 9-to-5 job by now, maybe even married with children!

  Considering everything up to now, all I can say is that man's plans are not as good as heaven's plans! Perhaps it's really the heavens taking pity on her, letting her thoroughly break off that infatuation and start anew.
