Master's Untamed Wife

1078 [Bonus chapter] It’s My Blessing

Lu Shun took out an envelope and offered it to her, “She left you a letter too.”

Raelle moved her eyes away from the tiara in her hands and looked at that old envelope in his hands. She didn’t take it immediately.

“Should I tell you how crazy your late mother-in-law was?” asked Lu Shun. “She left you two letters. One in case you got engaged to someone else and the other in case you really ended up marrying her son by some stroke of luck. So, I’m giving you the one she wrote just in case her fantasy turned into reality.”

Raelle put the tiara back into the box and took the envelope. She opened it and started reading...

‘Dear Raelle,

If you’re reading this letter, does that mean you’re about to become my daughter-in-law? I am laughing hysterically even writing this. Because just the thought of making you, my daughter-in-law is enough to make me happy for days. Jokes apart, I hope this letter finds you in good health. If you’re really reading this letter, the possibility is I’m no longer around. Because if I was, I’d have long gotten rid of this stupid letter of mine and said it all to you on my own. It’s such a shame that I can’t say it in person.

Do you remember the first time we met?

I was going through some rough patches in life. It wasn’t the first time I felt that down in my life, but it was the first time I found you. Your words made me accept things. It made me accept not only my present but also my past. So, I always wanted to say thank you for that. You have a warm soul even when you look so cold. I can testify to it since your warmth reached out to me when I needed it.

Now, I’m really talking nonsense. But if I don’t write it, I might not get the chance to say these things to you ever again.

.....

Raelle, I hope this stinky lawyer of mine gave you the tiara as your engagement gift. It’s not just a gift. It’s my wish for you. You’re the queen, you deserve that tiara. It was my first time designing a tiara because I never wanted to make one. But once I met you, I got inspired. This is my blessing to you for a happy life.

Since you’re marrying my son, then that means he is no longer lovesick. Thank heaven for that! Don’t think I’m a cruel mother who can’t see her son being happy. Xian is my darling son. And that’s why I wanted the best for him. Even if that meant going against him all the time. I realized that it created a lot of distance between our relationship. Even when I tried to fix it, I wasn’t able to do much. At least, not until the point I’m writing this letter. I don’t know about the future though.

I shouldn’t even write about this in this letter. It’s like I’m trying to ruin your special day. Don’t mind my words. You must be wondering why I even wrote this letter in the first place.

You see, I have lost a lot of people in my life. And it made me realize that nothing is permanent. Especially, human life is very fragile. I have no trust in my life and that’s why I wanted to leave something behind for you.

I hope you don’t miss your mother-in-law on this day. Although I’m a little sad that only my letter is there and not me, it’s enough for me to know that you’re becoming my daughter-in-law. If you can’t understand my excitement, think about it like this. I’ve always believed that I never get what I want. The people I love always leave me eventually. It happened way too often.

So, if you’re becoming my daughter-in-law, it means my wish finally came true. For once, I got what I wanted.

This is a very long letter and all I wrote is nonsense. But honestly speaking, I didn’t know what to write so I just wrote my thoughts to you. I hope you can give some love to my son and I assure you, he will return it tenfolds to you. No a hundred thousandfold back to you. My son is most like me, that’s why I worry about him so much.

We both are emotional beings and we both suffer because of this trait. So, I hope you can help him a little in changing this trait of his. Lastly, be happy. Yup! That’s all, I want. I just want to see you happy. ????????????????????????????. ????૦????

Sincerely,

Qian Yin’

Raelle felt something stirring inside her. She couldn’t describe it but she knew that this letter was affecting her emotions. She didn’t think her mother-in-law was planning so far ahead with several scenarios in mind. Even though she might not have known that one day, this letter would really reach Raelle but she really wasn’t here.

Before this, Raelle never felt this but for once, she actually hoped that today, it was Qian Yin standing in front of her instead of this letter that she held. Even a rational person like her who accepted the cycle of life had an irrational thought what if Qian Yin didn’t die back then? Would things be different?

“If she didn’t die, who knows if you’d have really married Xian?”

Raelle looked up at Lu Shun. It seemed she spoke out her thoughts subconsciously.

“If she was here, it’d be hard to say what today would look like. Don’t you think so, Ms. Raelle?”

Raelle nodded her head, “Right. The present wouldn’t be the same if something was different in the past.”

“Indeed,” said Lu Shun. “You shouldn’t think about this though. You only need to know that the present is what Qian Yin always wanted to see. Even if she isn’t around, she’d be very happy today.” He spoke out his thoughts sincerely.
