Chapter 615: Chapter 626: The Origin of the Tiger Sachet

From a distance, Gu Youyou and Lin Qianqing, who were watching the play, couldn’t help but draw closer, as the drama seemed to grow more interesting.

"What’s going on here?" Xie Qinyun’s second son asked, his voice trembling.

Concubine Du shook her head as she stepped back, tears slowly emerging from her eyes, "I... I was too young at the time, I can’t... I can’t remember clearly."

At that moment, everything seemed clear and yet, at the same time, obscure.

Xie Qinyun’s second son staggered so badly he almost fell to the ground.

In his memory, a chubby little hand passed him a handkerchief to wipe away tears, which he had rejected without hesitation.

Later, a small tiger she had made was given to him to cheer him up, he cried holding that little tiger through the night, and the next day, he finally left that room.

That year, six-year-old Du Xintong had just learned Peking embroidery and had embroidered a pair of little tigers for herself. Later, to appease her sister, who had lost her concubine mother, she gave her one of the newly finished little tigers, and sure enough, the little girl stopped crying.

Afterward, when the Jie Family’s Madam passed away, their second son, only a year older than them, was heartbroken all day long and without his mother’s care. Madam Du, kind-hearted, took him into the Du Residence to look after him.

He also locked himself in his room, grieving and weeping, just like his sister had when they lost their concubine mother. So, Du Xintong thought to bring the other little tiger to cheer up Xie Qinyun’s second son.

At the time, Xie Qinyun’s second son didn’t pay attention to her and didn’t even glance at her, just snatched the little tiger and continued to cry on his knees.

She was very disappointed, her tiger could soothe her sister, but not her brother.

But the next day, he came out of the room and became friends with his sister, who also held a little tiger.

They would talk about their mothers and their little tigers, while she could only watch from behind, stealing glances. They both had lost their mothers, so they must have had a lot to talk about...

Her thoughts returned to reality, and Miss Du had come to an acceptance.

Whether it was his misrecognition or misunderstanding, it didn’t matter to her anymore as she was nearing the end of her life.

Her mother had said that we, the inheritors of Peking embroidery, our first creation after learning Peking embroidery is always a sachet, and then we would always keep this sachet to be buried with us in our coffins.

This pair of sachets was her first creation, she could no longer remember which little tiger was embroidered first or which was second. Du Wanqing hated her so much, she thought she must have lost the little tiger she had given her long ago. Therefore, it left only the one in Xie Qinyun’s second son’s possession that she must take to her grave.

"I embroidered a pair back then, and that year when you both lost your mothers, I took them out to cheer you up. Now that you don’t need them anymore, can you give them back to me?"

Miss Du’s voice was soft and faint, like a feather brushing by, creating an almost intangible feeling that made one’s heart uncomfortably heavy.

What was there to not understand? There had been such a misunderstanding between them.

Xie Qinyun’s second son gripped the sachet tightly in his hand, not daring to let go.

It had always been with him, accompanying him through the toughest night of his life, the seventh day after his mother’s death.

He had always thought it was made by the woman he loved, but to think, it was from the woman he had despised most.

Xie Qinyun watched her disheartened second brother, deeply sighing.

She had guessed there might be some misunderstanding among the three of them, but what of it?

The item was real, but the years of hurt they had inflicted upon Miss Du were also real, and how could his doting on that woman be just for a sachet?
