Chapter 1278: Chapter 1273: Not Holding Back the Young Master

Madam Yin also couldn’t bear to hurt her, and even felt that speaking these words to the very young Su Miaoyan was excessively cruel.

But…

With tears in her eyes, she nodded softly in front of Miaoyan, “If one day, only the young master or madam can survive, what would madam do?”

Miaoyan looked at the peacefully sleeping child, mimicked his pouting lips, and said in a voice both tender and soft, “Then let brother Yu live on.”

Madam Yin took a deep breath, knelt in front of Miaoyan, and thanked her, “Madam understands the bigger picture and can make sacrifices for the young master, and protect him. The maid has no more worries now!”

She deeply knew that following them in their exile, she would become their burden.

Miaoyan didn’t notice the hidden resoluteness in Madam Yin’s eyes; instead, she helped her up and said with a smile, “What sacrifice is this? I want brother Yu to live because I love him! Brother Yu is the person I love the most.”

Madam Yin, gazing into her innocent eyes, was stunned for a long time before she slightly smiled, “Madam is also the person the young master loves the most.”

Those who love each other profoundly understand making sacrifices for one another.

Madam Yin stayed with Miaoyan and the child until they fell asleep. After they were asleep, she stuffed the half piece of bread and the small water pouch she had been hiding into Miaoyan’s arms, and then she walked out of the gorge.

Ying Wu stopped her, saying, “Aunt, it’s dangerous at night, don’t go out wandering.”

Even him guarding here alone wasn’t very safe.

Madam Yin smiled and said, “No worries, I’ll just scout the area here and then return.”

Ying Wu didn’t stop her, but until Xiao Yu and the others returned, they didn’t see Madam Yin.

Xiao Yu sensed something was off, noticing that Madam Yin had left her clothes and everything else she could behind on Miaoyan.

He turned and dashed out, intending to scout with Ying Yi, but Ying Yi came back and told him, “Young master, Madam Yin went down the mountain, and the mountain base is swarming with corpse gu. Likely…”

She might not be able to return.

Xiao Yu clenched his fists tightly, his eyes suddenly staining with blood, “Dammit!”

Truly damnable!

“Brother Yu…”

Miaoyan woke up, seeing Xiao Yu enveloped in chill and his eyes red, and felt frightened, “Brother Yu, what’s wrong? Where is Madam Yin?”

“Yan’er!”

Xiao Yu hurried back to her side, hugged her forcefully, clasping tightly as if intending to meld her into his flesh.

Days passed.

Beside him, only she and the child, along with the Eagle Guards, remained!

Madam Yin hadn’t planned on being a burden to him at this time.

Having brought him up, she was only too clear, and all too aware, of his circumstances.

Miaoyan, unaware of where Madam Yin had gone, only felt Xiao Yu’s body enveloping her, trembling fiercely as if gasping in a pain so deep he couldn’t breathe.

She immediately reciprocated the embrace and comforted lightly, “Brother Yu, don’t be afraid, I’m here! The baby and I, we’re still here.”

“Good…”

This was the first time Miaoyan heard Xiao Yu’s sob.

Since the day they met, the Brother Yu in her eyes had always radiated brilliance; he had never been this helpless before.

Trapped in the gorge for a long time, they were slowly drained of their strength, Miaoyan watched Xiao Yu sitting under the stars nightly, yet finding no solutions night after night, reminded her again of Madam Yin’s words.

What if one day, only the young master or the madam can survive?
