CHAPTER 40 - A MOTHER'S DEEP LOVE
Wiping her tears, Yun Qingqiao removed her veil and whispered,
"Mother, I have my reasons. Grandma also says beauty can be a curse, so I thought it best to wear a veil initially. We can tell others I'm not acclimated to the local environment and have a skin rash. No one in the Vice Chancellor's residence has seen me without it, so it'll be our little secret."
"My Qingqiao has grown up and is making her own decisions; I couldn't be happier. Don't worry, it's just us here," Ye Heying assured her, caressing her daughter's face.
"You're so beautiful. I've missed you every moment of these years. If only you could have stayed with me, I wouldn't have missed so many of your life's milestones. Your grandparents and uncles always write, praising how extraordinary you are. Missing out on all this fills me with regret, but knowing you grew up safely in Chuzhou brings me peace."
"Every time you send a letter, your mother reads it multiple times. She just can't get enough," chimed Madam Hua, holding up a box filled with neatly arranged letters from Yun Qingqiao to her mother over the years.
Madam Hua unfolded the letters one by one, revealing the evolution of Yun Qingqiao's handwriting—from childish scribbles to elegant calligraphy.

"Your writing has improved so much! Your mother can't help but touch these letters dozens, even hundreds of times a day!"
Yun Qingqiao took a letter from Madam Hua and looked at the handwriting. When she first crossed over from the modern world, she was unfamiliar with traditional characters and calligraphy. But her aptitude for learning turned out to be a real asset; her writing could now be considered a work of art in calligraphy circles.
"Mom, I've dreamt of coming back to you many times. Seeing you in those dreams makes me incredibly happy. Waking up in the middle of the night and realizing it was just a dream leaves me unable to fall back asleep," she said, visibly moved.
For a while, Yun Qingqiao often dreamt of her modern life—seeing her mother, eating her mom's homemade dishes like braised pork ribs and beef stew. She'd wake up with a pillow soaked in drool, realizing it was all a dream and that she couldn't return. In this foreign, ancient world, her longing for her mother was confined to her dreams.
"Mom, I miss you so much!" she exclaimed, throwing herself into Ye Heying's arms. The scent was the same as she remembered—sweet and comforting. Tears streamed down her face as she blended her host's longing for her mother, crying as if to expel all her pent-up emotions.
Ye Heying consoled her daughter, eventually calming her tears.
At the doorway, Youzhu, Jingyu, and Chunan were alarmed by the commotion. Their young mistress was usually lively and assertive, but growing up away from her parents had its impact. They'd never seen her cry in the marquis's residence. At this moment, they realized their mistress was just a child—a vivid young girl who could break down in tears and needed her mother's embrace.
