C245

As expected, the abacus had not even been touched before his mother slowly woke up.

"You're awake!" I slipped off the kang and ran to my mother's bed in my shoes. Even I felt that it was a bit fake.

There was a clear look of resentment on my mother's face. She only turned her face to the bed and refused to look at me.

I smiled and glanced at the three of them who were watching my every move. I instructed with a smile, "You may leave! I have a few things I want to say to Mother! "

The three of them actually revealed looks of reluctance.

Lan Lingyun, on the other hand, was worried about my safety, while Hong Chang was worried that I would do something bad to Mother.

It's just that my words are not suitable for them to listen to, especially for Hong Chang.

In the end, I am the master and they are servants, so it is not good to force me, so the three of them had no choice but to withdraw.

"Why are you doing this?" I quietly tucked my mother's bedsheet into a golden Begonia style tent hook at the side.

The golden afterglow shone through the window sill onto the back of my mother's head. There were a few strands of hair faintly tucked into her smooth black hair, making her stand out in the golden sunlight.

His mother was only twenty-seven years old.

"Even though you entered the outer chamber and brought three more sons, you are still the main chamber. The father's chamber must give you some face. No matter how powerful Aunt Mo is, she can't even beat your palm. Furthermore, father is not the kind of person who forgets their old love after having a new love. Father must feel guilty after what has happened. You only need to grasp onto this mistake, then why won't father listen to you? "Why do you have to humiliate yourself like this, and let your father know and complain that you are unreasonable?"

The woman in front of him only had her shoulders twitch at first, but then she covered her face and started crying.

Actually, I can understand Mother's psychology.

Mother did not regard her father as her husband, but as her close lover. Her husband had a new lover. As a wife, as a legal wife, as a matriarch, her mother had only taken her in with grace, either treating her well or giving her cold treatment, or even giving her husband a younger, more beautiful, gentler, and more empathetic concubine. Under the pressure of entering the room, not only did she not make any mistakes, even the bystanders were unable to say half a word of "no" to her, and even had to praise her. But from the bottom of her heart, her mother treated her father as a companion in the spirit of her life. This sort of love could not be tolerated by anyone else. At this moment, a woman who had three children with her father appeared out of thin air.

However, this world's matters had always been the reincarnation of the heavens, so who would be able to earn such a fortune?

His mother quietly cried for a while before calming her heart. Her eyes were red as she sat up.

I smiled and poured her a cup of strong tea.

Grabbing the teacup, the moment I opened the teacup, I could smell the rich fragrance of the tea. I could clearly see my mother's cracked and white lips move, but she placed the teacup on the black mica cabinet beside the bed.

He probably remembered that he was pregnant and didn't dare to randomly drink what I gave him!

I couldn't help but twitch my lips. I knew that I was pregnant, yet I was still in this state. It hadn't even been three months, and I wasn't afraid of hurting my baby.

"I advise you to not worry about it and to wait for father to come back before talking about this properly. "In the end, it's useless for you to make things difficult for anyone. It was father who did it, and the child was also father who was born. Why do you have to act so self-deprecating to make others look down on you?"

I took the cup of tea from my mother's bed and took a sip, then put it back.

How could I have done such a thing?

"You … Why … You want to talk to me about this? " The dryness of my mother's voice was far worse than I had expected. It was clear that the hanging had damaged her vocal cords, and the long period of lying in bed had left her dehydrated.

"Because I must thank you for dispelling my plan to send me to the Xue Clan as a concubine!"

Smiling, I touched the brilliant embroidery on the side of my sleeve.

Although this piece of clothing looked very colorful and oppressive in the daytime, what the crowd didn't see was its brilliance under the setting sun. The maple leaves, which were embroidered with gold and silver thread, fluttered around his translucent arms, creating a graceful and elegant feeling.

Originally, he had only planned to walk around outside and tell the other ladies that he was worthy of being their housekeeper. However, he hadn't expected that this meeting would actually have a miraculous effect on his mother's courtyard.

When my mother sat up and looked at me, there was a flash of bitterness in her eyes, and now that she heard me say this, her eyes widened like she had seen a ghost.

"You … "How do you know!"

My mother's finger was trembling as she pointed at me. I could clearly see that my mother's silver emerald ring had loosened up.

Although his mother wanted to take care of him, it was difficult for her to do so. Even after a long time, she still lost a lot of weight.

I smiled and touched my growing face.

How should I know?

Of course I know!

How could I forget the pain?

"You … You all... You already know about it? "

Mother asked me tentatively. She frowned deeply and couldn't help but lean forward.

I smiled at the panic-stricken woman in front of me and said nothing.

"You … Don't blame me, I am also … "I was forced to …"

Although she looked exhausted and regretful as she sat in front of me, I didn't feel any sympathy for her.

If they did something wrong, they could only say it was "forced". Then why did they need to go to the yamen? Why did they need the public law?

Who didn't have to? Who was not troubled by their fate?

It all depended on who had the heart!

Maybe my mother's conscience hadn't disappeared, or maybe my expression was too weird, but my mother actually cowered back into her bed and hid a bit more. She clutched the blanket covering her body tightly and said,

"Although I had planned it that way before, I didn't think so!"

I smiled sarcastically. "You don't think so? You have to be able to do it even if you want to! "

His mother's already pale face became even more ashen as she muttered, "So you were lying to me before! You lied to me! I thought... So what her mother said was true … It's true. "

A tear slipped from his mother's open eyes.

She should have regretted not having listened to the 'advice' of the clever servant woman beside her.

"That's right!" It's all true! " I laughed and tugged at my own clothes, which were already neat. The silver bells that were hanging from them made "ding ding dang dang" sounds as they hit each other. The sound was particularly ear-piercing between mother and daughter.

"Aunt …"

The girl in front of him opened her eyes wide as if she was about to pop out. She hugged herself tightly and shrunk into a ball. Her throat emitted an "Eh …" "Ehh!" It sounded as if someone had strangled him.

"Aunty, thank you so much. I can only learn to be a housekeeper!"

The light in the room gradually dimmed, and my mother's face gradually became blurry before my eyes. In the end, all that was left was a black shadow.

"How do you know?"

The woman's hoarse, shrill voice sounded like a ghost's, but the trembling in her voice betrayed her fear.

"I heard that aunt, you and the Qin family are online. Who is it that wants to give me to the Qin family?" I chuckled and whispered, "The Qin family is too abnormal! I obviously look like their daughter, but they actually want to marry me into their family? "

Perhaps it was because the excitement of the night was too great, but my mother maintained her shocked expression until it gradually turned into a dull one.

"No!" "No!" Hearing my sarcasm, my mother hurriedly denied it, "It's the Qin family's old master who heard that you looked like her daughter and wanted to take you in as his adopted daughter! I'm really doing it for your own good! After that, she had signed under the name of Madam Qin. She was a proper and proper young miss! You might even be able to enter the palace to be the Empress, the glory and splendor are all in your hands! It's really for your own good! "

Although I once guessed that my mother wanted to send me to the Qin family, I was still somewhat surprised when I heard her true intentions. To think that their methods were so powerful today. Even the Qin family, which had a very high reputation within the clan, was suppressed. They wanted to force them to start with women.

The Qin family is different from the Xue family. They have been established for a hundred years and are a genuine aristocratic family. Why would they accept a merchant's daughter as their adopted daughter? I am the eldest daughter of the Lu Family, and also the child of the daughter of a merchant. I am looked down upon the most by these established aristocratic families.

"Look at you, you've been sick for so long, you can't even think about these things!"

My sneer was more distinct in the darkness.

"Even if I was the daughter of the Lu family, the Qin family might not have taken a liking to me, let alone today. You must be sleeping so much that you can't tell the difference anymore. "

"In their family, there's Empress Qin who doesn't like the Emperor, and there's also a delicate Princess Honghua. There's no one in the imperial court, and hearing that you look like her, I didn't even have the time to beg. Furthermore, no matter what you say, you are my Lu Family's young mistress, what is there that you don't deserve? "

The Lu family's eldest daughter?

I've never thought of myself like this!

"Then why don't you give me to the Lu family? This is, after all, a matter of acknowledging one's ancestors and returning to one's clan! "

My cold laughter echoed in the spacious room. Even I felt my hair stand on end.

The mother shook her head in confusion: "The Lu family can't do it, the Lu family doesn't …"

Halfway through her sentence, she stopped abruptly and looked at me embarrassedly.

There's no such thing as a good medicine to give birth to a child, is there?

I secretly sighed. In the end, my mother was still an idiot.

"Can you forgive me?" As I was deep in thought, my mother suddenly crawled out of bed, her hair in disarray, knelt on the edge of the bed and tugged at my sleeve. Now I have... I don't need that medicine. I'll treat you like a daughter, okay? I'll give you a good kiss, and marry you off in glory! Help me … Help me … After chasing that vixen out of the house and killing those little bastards, I will do whatever you say! "

She had thought that she would be kind enough to be a mother herself, but she didn't want to be even more ruthless.

Even now, I still can't tell what kind of situation I am in. Just a moment ago, I exposed how she schemed against me, but now, she wants to form an alliance with me to harm my concubine!

Even I, who was angry, couldn't help but smile.

What kind of logic was this?

I smiled and sighed. I let go of my mother's hair that was hanging down from her forehead. I slowly pulled out the clothes that she was holding and said smilingly, "In the end, you've raised me. I won't forget your kindness." "How you used to treat me, and how I'll treat you in the future!"

My mother sat on the bed for a long time.

After exiting the room, I saw that the three girls were waiting outside. I took a close look at Hong Chang's expression and wasn't too surprised at all. I didn't know if I could hold on to them, or if I had already known about it.

Lan Li shook her head as she pointed at the door.

I didn't hear what my mother and I said.

Even if he heard it, he wouldn't mind. When my mother suddenly listens to my words, she will definitely do something abnormal. Grandmother is such a sharp person, as long as my mother is slightly different, she will immediately notice. It was just a matter of two days earlier or two days later.

"Go call Wang Ma in!" Sitting in the left armchair of my mother's room, I smiled and told Lan Lian, "I have a few words to tell her!"

Mrs. Wang stood awkwardly in front of me, not even daring to look me in the face. Hong Chang knows about my sect's prestige, but she has never seen my appearance before. Remembering that Lady Wang was also a reputable mother in my grandmother's yard, she could only turn her gaze to the ground in front of me and respectfully reply to me. She couldn't help but use her curious eyes to size up the two of us.

Mothers have had a hard time these days." Such a life would not last more than a few days, and his father would return soon. Just looking at this kind of scene, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with tomorrow's holiday. I'll have to trouble the moms for a few more days. Mother, you have to pay five hundred taels of silver each, and the rest of the mothers will pay a tael each. No matter what food or clothes your mother wants, just find them for her. There is only one thing, your mother cannot be short of people, not a single moment. You have to ensure that no accident happens to your mother again. "Let's put it this way first. Since we've accepted the bounty and taken up the task, if there's any accident, I won't bother with our friendship anymore!

Mrs. Wang first listened to the matter of the bounty with a happy expression on her face, then listened to my instructions repeatedly nodded her head in agreement. After seeing me carrying the tea and bowing, I took a few steps back to the door before turning around and leaving.

"We have a lot of people making a ruckus here, disturbing our mother's rest. Let's disperse!"

Hong Chang pursed her lips as though she still had something to say, seeing that Lan Lingyun had already followed me out the door, she stomped her feet and followed behind us.

"Go and hear how she speaks to her grandmother." After returning to my room, I smiled and instructed Lan Ling, "See if this is something that you understand!"

Lan Lingyun replied with a smile and left. She called for Mommy Song and the maidservants to bring water to help me wash my face.
