Chapter 2621: Mission 7

Editor: Henyee Translations

Ms. Wang’s eyes had lost their sparkle, now dim with a sense of impending finality. The weight of her numbered days bore down on her, sapping her strength and leaving her unable to do much for her children. Hope had all but evaporated, replaced by a singular wish – for her daughter Danqiu to find a smooth path to marriage. At least then, her two daughters might lead comfortable lives; beyond that, she had no other desires.

When conversing with Danqiu, Ms. Wang kept her requests minimal, not wanting to burden her eldest daughter.

Gu Chaoyan’s throat tightened with emotion.

She had never known a mother, not in her past life nor in this one. While the Queen treated her as her own, it wasn’t the same. Ms. Wang was Danqiu’s mother, and now, half of Chaoyan’s emotions were intertwined with Danqiu.

Witnessing Ms. Wang’s condition, bitterness and heartache overwhelmed Gu Chaoyan.

“Mom, don’t dwell on things too much. Your priority now is to recover. Danxia and Dandong will be under our care. You’re exhausted, and you just need to rest well,” Gu Chaoyan reassured.

She added some Holy Spirit Water from the interspace to Ms. Wang’s food and insisted on feeding her.

Despite Ms. Wang’s attempts to refuse, Gu Chaoyan was resolute. Eating well was non-negotiable in Chaoyan’s eyes.

Ms. Wang’s health, it turned out, was not as dire as Gu Chaoyan had anticipated. The prospect excited her, and as she left, a sense of relief washed over her.

The situation surpassed Gu Chaoyan’s expectations. Not only was Ms. Wang’s physical condition better than anticipated, but her mental state was also surprisingly positive.

Yan Danqiu’s two sisters, one displaying great strength and the other showing intelligence, further added to the optimism. Gu Chaoyan believed that with some assistance, they could soon lead comfortable lives.

After tending to Ms. Wang, Gu Chaoyan retreated to rest, and the night swiftly passed. In the predawn darkness, she planned to head into the mountains discreetly, considering the increased attention her family had garnered in the village. She didn’t want to complicate matters unnecessarily.

As Gu Chaoyan prepared to leave, Yan Danxia and Yan Dandong, alerted by the commotion, emerged from their abode. The pair stared wide-eyed at Gu Chaoyan.

“Stay at home; I’m going now,” Gu Chaoyan reassured them as she shouldered a bamboo basket containing knives and a tool for self-defense.

Equipped and ready, Yan Danxia and Yan Dandong felt a sense of reassurance.

Once Gu Chaoyan departed, the sisters secured the door tightly and reinforced it with various items. This precaution would require considerable strength to breach forcefully.

Yan Danxia proceeded to prepare breakfast, while Yan Dandong kept watch at the door. The sisters took their responsibilities seriously, diligently attending to the tasks assigned by their elder sister.

With the first light of dawn, Gu Chaoyan ascended the mountain quickly.

In the North Village, the villagers earned their livelihood through agriculture and the cultivation of medicinal herbs.
