Pihanjin - Chapter 51
Xie Changgeng watched Mu Fulan leave, closed the door, turned around and explained to his mother, “It was because my son was careless in the school two days ago and suffered some physical injuries. It’s a trivial matter, it will be fine in two days, mother. no need to worry.”
Mother Xie asked her son to take off his clothes for her own inspection. Xie Changgeng said that the medicine had been wrapped and it was inconvenient to open it. She promised again and again that nothing would happen, but Xie’s mother was helpless, so she gave up. Touching my son’s hand, I suddenly felt a little burnt and nervous again.
Xie Changgeng said: “Son is fine. It’s because of a lot of things recently, and I haven’t rested well. I’m already taking medicine. My son’s health has always been good, and he will be fine after two days of rest.”
Mother Xie complained: “That Mu’s daughter, I didn’t say she, since she was by your side, how did she take care of you? It made you so ill! How can I feel at ease?”
Xie Changgeng glanced at his mother.
The old lady frowned, and every inch of the wrinkles on her face was full of dissatisfaction with the woman. He couldn’t help but think of the figure who was standing by the side with her eyes down and her head lowered, weak and helpless.
He hesitated for a while and said, “Mother, don’t misunderstand. It was she who treated her son, and he took her medicine, which made it much better. After she came, she also served her son thoughtfully and did not slack off. “
Mother Xie was silent, and her face was still not very good.
Xie Changgeng helped his mother in, asked Amao to bring water in, washed his mother’s feet in person, and served Anxie.
The son was injured and ill, and the old lady was distressed. How could she be willing to let him do things, but refused.
Seeing that his mother insisted, Xie Changgeng called A Mao on his behalf.
Ah Mao responded before squatting down. Outside the door, Qi Lingfeng walked in and said with a smile, “Brother-in-law, let me come.”
Ah Mao was a little unhappy, pouted and looked at Xie Changgeng.
Qi Lingfeng walked to Xie’s mother and told Ah Mao to get up.
The cat stood up reluctantly.
When Qi Lingfeng was pulling his sleeves, Xie Changgeng suddenly said, “A cat, go ahead.”
A cat suddenly became happy, “hey”, and immediately squatted down.
Qi Lingfeng was startled, turned her head slowly, and looked at Xie Changgeng.
Xie Changgeng looked at her and said, “My mother and I still have something to say. Besides, this journey is very hard for you. Go and rest. I’ll serve my mother. You don’t have to stay here.”
His tone was gentle, but the alienation in his words was obvious.
Xie’s mother couldn’t hear it, she only said that her son was concerned about Qi Lingfeng, nodded again and again, and urged, “Yes, yes, Fenger, go back to your room, rest early.”
Qi Lingfeng bit her lip, responded in a low voice, and backed out.
After Amao washed the old lady’s feet, Xie Changgeng served her mother and sat on the bed. Mother Xie said, “Geng’er, Mrs. Mu has been married to you for so long, and her stomach hasn’t moved yet?”
Xie Changgeng snorted.
Mother Xie sighed: “You are the only seedling in the Xie family. I look forward to it every day. From what I see, she is not easy to give birth to. If this goes on, when will mother see our Xie family blooming and spreading?”
Xie Changgeng was depressed in his heart, but he didn’t show it on his face, and replied vaguely: “She is still young, and after passing the door, her son and her are also less frequent, mother, don’t worry.”
“Why don’t you hurry? Geng’er, let me tell you the truth, this time, mother not only sees you, but also wants to discuss with you. When it’s convenient for you, let’s take care of you and Feng’er earlier. “
“Isn’t Mr. Mu just here? Don’t say we’re hiding it from her!”
Xie Changgeng’s heart became more and more annoyed, he pondered, and looked up to see Ah Mao standing by the side, staring at him with wide eyes, he flicked his hand, and told her to go out, then said: “Mother, about the Qi family’s daughter, son I thought about it before, but I still don’t think it’s right. The Qi family has a great kindness to your mother, and you are sorry for her to be a concubine. You have also mentioned the meaning of the son before. She is looking for a good family, and she is married with good graces, this is the kind of repayment.
Mother Xie was already lying down, and when she heard the words, she sat up.
“Geng’er, what’s wrong with you? You don’t even listen to your mother?”
She looked annoyed and stared suspiciously at her son.
“Isn’t that Mu’s daughter saying one thing, doing another thing, saying she agrees to this matter here, but making trouble in front of you? If it’s inconvenient for you, mother will talk to her again! If she doesn’t want to, then it’s good, you quit It’s her! You have the support of the Queen Mother, forgive him what Changsha State can do to you!”
Xie Changgeng didn’t want to disappoint the widowed mother. The Qi family couldn’t ask for it, and he knew it well. And for him, this is not a major matter that needs careful consideration.
But in his heart, there was an intuition. If he let go of this matter and agreed, in front of Mrs. Mu’s woman, he would have no chance of turning over in the future.
That woman was just like a chicken rib to him, but if he abandoned it, he would be extremely unwilling for some reason.
“You speak to me!”
Seeing that her son was silent, Mother Xie patted the bed angrily.
Xie Changgeng looked at his mother, who was full of anger, and suddenly felt as if the blue veins on his forehead were hanging from something, jumped suddenly, his head suddenly hurt so badly, he paused, and said, “Mother, the matter of the Qi family’s daughter, let’s do it. In the future, my son will treat her as a righteous sister. My son has a headache, please take a rest, my son is back.”
Mother Xie heard her son say he had a headache, and looked at him, seeing that his face was gloomy, Yintang was blue, and he was really in a bad mood, and he felt distressed again.
She couldn’t bear to blame her son, but she only suspected that Mu’s daughter was blowing pillow wind in her son’s ear, and her son was bewitched by her appearance, so she disobeyed herself uncharacteristically. He said hurriedly: “Okay, okay, let’s not talk about this for now, mother is sleeping, you go to rest quickly.”
Xie Changgeng helped her lie down, blew out the light, and walked out of the room, only to feel extremely tired, even more tired than fighting a war.
He rubbed his temples and turned back to his room.
There were lights in the doors and windows, and he pushed open the door and entered.
Before the daughter of the Mu family went to bed, she sat in front of the mirror with a small pair of scissors in her hand, facing the mirror, trimming the piece of hair that he had cut off with his sword that day.
In the daytime, the hair is in a bun, and all the hair is gathered in one place, and it is not visible.
She focused on shaving her hair, she didn’t seem to hear him coming in, she turned her back to him, and didn’t respond.
Xie Changgeng stood there, watched the moment she recited the video, walked over, and said, “The supper you prepared, bring it to me to eat, just a little hungry.”
Mu Fulan raised her eyes, looked at the man in the mirror who was looking at her, and said lightly, “I ate it myself. If you want, I’ll get it for you.”
She put down the scissors in her hand, stood up, and got up to go out.
Xie Changgeng hurriedly said: “Forget it, you’ll be fine, I’m not too hungry. It’s getting late, so let’s go to bed.”
Mu Fulan got into bed.
Xie Changgeng undressed and lay down.
He was tired and tired, but he couldn’t sleep at all, let alone continue what had been interrupted by his mother’s sudden arrival. He closed his eyes for a moment, opened his eyes, stared at the back of the woman lying with her back to him, hesitated, leaned over a bit, and said, “Ms. Mu, my mother is old, if she talks and does things, it will make you embarrassed. Place, you don’t have the same knowledge as her.”
Mu Fulan slowly opened her eyes, turned her head, looked at the man beside the pillow for a moment, and said, “It’s not that I don’t want to bear it, but my mother-in-law hates me, and she’s unhappy when she sees me. Even if I want to serve, she Neither. As you said, she’s getting older, and I don’t want her to be unhappy because of me.”
Xie Changgeng stretched out his hand, gently pulled her into his arms, hugged her, and coaxed: “Don’t think too much, and bear with it. After a while, she will go back and won’t stay here forever.”
Mu Fulan said, “I can bear it. This is my duty and what I deserve, but I can’t make Xi’er be like me. Even if it’s just the indifference of your mother, I can’t bear it.”
Xie Changgeng said: “Xi’er is a child. I will personally take him to see my mother tomorrow. I just say that it is the adopted son you recognize. Even if my mother doesn’t like it, she will not treat him like that. You can rest assured.”
Mu Fulan broke free from his arms and sat up.
“You think so, but I don’t agree. She came over tonight, and I gave her a late-night snack. You saw how she treated me. How can I make my mother-in-law hate me so much, but treat me kindly? My Xier?”
Xie Changgeng was very unhappy when Xie Changgeng heard her comment on his mother in this way. The nameless fire accumulated tonight burst out, and the tone became stiff, frowning: “She’s all here, what do you want?”
After he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something.
“Ms. Mu, I know you have a lot of calculations. My mother doesn’t know anything. If you dare to let her know about the scandals you’ve done on purpose, make things bigger, and make your family uneasy, don’t blame me for being rude.”
Mu Fulan said, “You think too much. Even if I’m shameless myself and don’t care about your face, I won’t let Xi’er be humiliated by me. You can rest assured.”
She continued: “After I left just now, my mother-in-law must have said in front of you that I was wrong. I really don’t deserve to be the daughter-in-law of your Xie family. I also said that no matter what happens to me, I deserve it, but Xi’er, I can’t let him be wronged, not even for a day. If he is wronged, it will be worse than my own death. You ask me to take Xi’er back to Changsha, so she will be happy, and you can be pure, isn’t it the best it is good?”
Xie Changgeng looked at her and remembered how helpless she looked when she was coldly treated by her mother tonight. The unhappiness in her heart gradually dissipated. She only felt that the headache was getting worse, but she was unwilling to fulfill her wish and let her take the opportunity. After leaving, he closed his eyes for a moment, and said coldly, “Forget it, since you are worried that the child will be treated coldly, you don’t have to take him to my mother to see her. Take him to another place to live for a while.”
A pair of soft hands touched his temples on both sides. The thumb pressed the acupuncture points for him, and the technique and strength were all appropriate and comfortable.
Xie Changgeng opened his eyes.
She knelt down beside him, stared at him with long eyebrows and bright eyes, and said softly, “Xi’er is still young, he is alone and will miss me.”
Xie Changgeng looked at her, and after a while, he said, “You don’t have to serve my mother anymore, just go with him. I’ll pick you up when my mother is gone.”
