Chapter 472: Honesty
Jiang Yuetang woke up from her dream suddenly, looked two feet away, and found that it was pitch black.
It was still silent, the sky was not yet dawn, and there was snow outside the window.
Jiang Yuetang turned over, but she couldn't sleep.
Since Jiang Yueting's death, she has not gone to his cemetery to pay respects, and she plans to pay respects to him in a few days.
At this time, Jiang Chuanxiong and Zhen Huiyuan had not yet fallen asleep, and the two were lying on their backs in their bedrooms and talking softly.
At first, the two talked about Jiang Yuetang's life plan for the next five years, and later talked about Jiang Yuetang's identity.
"Huiyuan, I want to take some time to confess to my mother about Tang's children dressing up as men recently. Jiang Chuanxiong put his arm around Zhen Huiyuan's shoulder and said.
Zhen Huiyuan was silent for a moment and said, "It's okay, so many years have passed, and she should really know about this matter." ”
If they don't say it again, the old lady will definitely blame them if she finds out in the future.
Jiang Chuanxiong said: "Then let's talk about it tomorrow morning, you and Tang'er will also be present at that time, and we will go to her room to talk about it together." ”
"Next year is the first day of the Lunar New Year, do you want to wait a few days?" Zhen Huiyuan hesitated.
"Since you've decided to say it, let's say it sooner. Jiang Chuanxiong said.
He had no patience to wait a few more days.
Zhen Huiyuan looked at him for a while, nodded and said, "Okay." ”
After that, the two did not speak again, closed their eyes and slept.
But Zhen Huiyuan couldn't sleep for a long time.
She remembered the night she gave birth to Jiang Yueting and Jiang Yuetang again. That night, when she was about to faint in pain, the two children were born, and when she learned that it was a dragon and phoenix fetus, her heart was full of gratitude, because she was forty years old at that time, and she had three miscarriages before, and this time it was a blessing for her to have a son and a daughter in one fell swoop.
Because of this son and a daughter, she lived a happy life for five years, until Jiang Yueting's death.
After Jiang Yueting died of illness, there was not a day when she was not worried, because Jiang Yuetang's thin shoulders shouldered so many heavy responsibilities that should not be borne by her, she was really worried that Jiang Yuetang would refuse to bear the burden one day, and she was also worried that Jiang Yuetang's identity would be discovered by outsiders one day.
It is gratifying that Jiang Yuetang has come tenaciously with so many burdens in the past five years, and there is a tendency to get better and better, and she finally dares to breathe a sigh of relief now.
Thinking of Jiang Yuetang's various hardships along the way, she inevitably felt a surge in her heart, and before she knew it, tears wet the pillow towel.
The next morning, after breakfast, Jiang Chuanxiong took Zhen Huiyuan and Jiang Yuetang to Mrs. Tao's room to meet Mrs. Tao.
Mrs. Tao usually recites Buddhist scriptures for a while after breakfast, and at this time she is picking up the Buddhist beads to prepare to recite them, seeing the three of them come in with solemn faces, she suddenly felt unusual, so she put down the Buddhist beads and asked, "Is there something?"
The three of them knelt down in unison in front of her.
Old Madam Tao was surprised: "What's the matter?"
Jiang Chuanxiong said: "Mother, the child hid something from you five years ago, and today the child is here to confess to you and ask you to punish the crime." ”
Old Madam Tao's body trembled.
In the past few years, she did have doubts about Jiang Yuetang's identity, and even last year she could basically conclude that it was Jiang Yuetang who was alive, but she didn't say anything, she knew very well - the more confused this matter, the better.
"What's the matter?" asked Mrs. Tao.
Jiang Chuanxiong told him how he decided to swap the identities of Jiang Yueting and Jiang Yuetang at a critical moment.
After Jiang Chuanxiong finished speaking, Mrs. Tao's lips trembled, and she didn't speak for a long time.
Even though she had known the truth for a long time, she couldn't help but feel sad when others told her the truth.
Her grandchildren have really left them a long time ago, and now in front of her is her granddaughter in men's clothes.
Old Madam Tao moved her gaze to Jiang Yuetang's body, and tears flowed down instantly.
"Tang'er....... Come to Grandmother. She said, reaching out to Jiang Yuetang.
Jiang Yuetang got up and walked towards her, her eyes filled with tears uncontrollably.
Old Madam Tao grabbed Jiang Yuetang's hands and looked at Jiang Yuetang's face intently.
This is a face between a child and a teenager, with very delicate facial features and eyes as bright as a mirror.
Perhaps because he has been playing a man for many years, Jiang Yuetang's eyebrows are faintly heroic, and his gestures are also full of manliness.
After these five years of experience, she has obviously become very accustomed to this role.
After looking at her for a while, Old Madam Tao showed a smile of satisfaction and approval on her face, and then she was suddenly so sad that she couldn't hug Jiang Yuetang tightly like herself.
"Tang'er, you've worked hard all these years!" Old Madam Tao choked up.
Jiang Yuetang hurriedly shook his head and said softly: "If it weren't for my brother, I might not be able to experience what it's like to be a man for the rest of my life." ”
Mrs. Tao patted her on the back and said, "Good boy." ”
After a while, Mrs. Tao asked, "Will you blame your father?"
Jiang Yuetang shook her head.
"Really, not?" asked Old Madam Tao, looking at her.
"Really. If it were me, I would probably do the same at that moment. Jiang Yuetang smiled.
Jiang Chuanxiong immediately got up and hugged Jiang Yuetang from behind, and said with red eyes, "Thank you, child." ”
Old Madam Tao wiped away her tears and said to Jiang Chuanxiong: "Since this matter has become like this, we must hide it carefully. ”
The three nodded.
Old Madam Tao asked again: "Now who knows except the three of us?"
Zhen Huiyuan hesitated for a moment and replied softly: "Mei Xiang should know, but she is secretive and loyal, and she can be trusted." ”
Old Madam Tao said without makeup: "Then let's talk to her about three chapters, so that she won't accidentally say anything one day." ”
Jiang Yuetang hurriedly said: "There is no need for the three chapters of the law, she is a person who has a bottom line in everything and will not say it to the outside world." ”
Mrs. Tao gave up.
Jiang Yuetang continued: "Since my brother died of illness, I haven't personally visited his grave to pay respects, so I want to take a day to pay respects to him in the last few days, and ask my grandmother, father, and mother for permission." ”
Old Madam Tao glanced at Jiang Chuanxiong and Zhen Huiyuan.
Jiang Chuanxiong said: "I just want to go too, so let's go tomorrow morning." ”
Mrs. Tao and Zhen Huiyuan also immediately said that they wanted to go together.
In the past few years, Jiang Chuanxiong went to worship alone, mainly because he was afraid that Mrs. Tao, Zhen Huiyuan and Jiang Yuetang would go to evoke a sad past, but now that everyone has come out of the pain of the past, he doesn't mind everyone going together.
So the four of them set off in a carriage at three o'clock the next morning, and went straight to the direction of Jiang Yueting's cemetery.
