Chapter 49 Mutual Confession
From Li Lang's mouth, I learned that today is Li Linfeng's birthday, and it is precisely for this reason that he left the Medicine King Valley. However, after wishing his birthday, he will leave, Li Lang's face is pale, as if he is talking about someone else's business. This made Murong Qingxue very surprised, because it could be seen from the face of the old servant just now that he was very happy about the arrival of his son, and he was very eager to report to his wife. This lady should be his mother.
"Brother Lang, why are you not happy at all when you go home?"
Li Lang smiled at her: "It's nothing, it's just that this family, for me, is not as kind as the Medicine King Valley." Although they were very nice to me, I didn't want to stay here. So, every year, I only come back at this time. Some people, some things, if fixed in their hearts, can never be changed. ”
He said this very slowly, and his eyebrows were like ink paintings, adding a touch of sadness. Murong Qingxue didn't know what had happened to him, but since he didn't know what to say, he didn't want to ask more. Besides, his own affairs are at a loss, and he is also melancholy at the moment.
This expression made Li Lang smile: "Girl, since you're here, I'll take you around, okay?"
When I walked to the door, I ran into a man. Li Lang glanced at it, and his face was indifferent: "Mother!"
The person in front of him is only forty years old, surrounded by beads, very extravagant, and followed by a few grandmothers. Seeing Li Lang, he was overjoyed, took his hand and said, "Lang'er, you're back too." For the mother, for the mother is finally looking back. ”
Li Lang quietly withdrew his hand and saluted politely. This action touched the lady affectionately and sighed lightly. His eyes stayed on Murong Qingxue's face, and his face immediately changed greatly, and he pointed at her with his finger, and he couldn't say anything: "You, you are ......"
Murong Qingxue dared to say in front of Li Lang: "I have seen Madame, the little girl's name is Mu Xue, and when I met my son, I was invited to attend Master Li's birthday banquet. ”
Hearing this, and seeing Li Lang nodding again, the lady's face eased slightly, calmed down, and regained a graceful and luxurious smile: "Since it was invited by Lang'er, Miss Mu will stay in the mansion for a while longer." ”
Li Lang interrupted her: "Mother relax, as soon as the father's birthday banquet is over, the son will leave for the Medicine King Valley." ”
Madame's face turned pale, she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything after all, sighed, and instructed a grandmother beside her: "Sister-in-law Qin, if there is a shortage in the young master's room, arrange it immediately." In addition, arrange another room for this Mu girl, don't slack off. ”
Sister-in-law Qin hurriedly agreed, and went to prepare.
In the end, the lady did not stay, glanced at Li Lang, and left with the maid and grandmother beside her. Before leaving, he looked at Murong Qingxue again, and this look made Murong Qingxue's heart move. It seems that this time it is the right place.
Li Lang obviously noticed his mother's abnormal reaction, and wondered why Qingxue was hiding his name. After some of the people left, they still asked, "Qingxue, can I ask, what are you doing when you come to the Li Mansion?"
Murong Qingxue looked at him with a sincere face, not to mention that she also needed his help, so she no longer hid it from him: "I'm here to investigate something." If I don't find out, then my mother and I will be wronged. ”
immediately told him the whole story, how he was slandered as a cheap daughter, how his mother was wronged and Hongxing was out of the wall, and the grievances and persecution she suffered in the General's Mansion. Of course, she only said one qiē after being reborn.
Li Lang was very surprised when he heard this, and he also sympathized with her plight, and his gaze softened when he looked at her.
"Actually, you should know that the best way to prove it is to take a blood test, which is also the easiest way. Why did you choose to come to this place alone to investigate for yourself? The dangers on this road have already been explained, whether you are the daughter of the general's mansion or not, there are not a few people who want you to die. Li Lang said the question in his heart.
Murong Qingxue didn't answer her question directly, but instead asked, "Brother Lang, it can be seen from your reaction just now that you and your mother are not close. However, she is excellent to you. Why is that?"
"You found out too?" Li Lang did not shy away from the question. He slashed his hands behind his back and sighed faintly, "This is not what I want. However, for as long as I can remember, my mother has been very harsh on me. I am the only son in the house, and I am also her son, and I have taken the initiative to please her many times, and she never smiles at me. I even doubted that I wasn't her child. Once, I was so playful that I accidentally got poisoned. At that time, I was very scared, my father tried to find a famous doctor and couldn't cure me, I looked at my mother, there was no trace of concern in her eyes, and she looked at me as if she was just a stranger. I was only five years old at the time, and my memory was frozen. As long as I think of my mother, it is her eyes that have no temperature. ”
Murong Qingxue's eyes were full of sympathy, how could she not have been cold in her childhood. "So, what about later?"
"Fortunately, later the master saved me, he asked me if I would like to follow him to the Medicine King Valley to learn medical skills, I looked at my mother, but she didn't look at me, so I followed the master away. Since then, it has been so many years. Every year, I only come back for my father's birthday, and I only stay for a day or two. However, since I left home, every year when I come back, my mother seems to be a different person, shouting at me and being considerate. It's just that once the heart is frozen, it will never be able to return to before. So, no matter how nice she was to me, I couldn't convince myself that I was good to her, even if it was just a smile. ”
Li Lang spoke very slowly, but he was talking about his deepest thoughts. "Don't you think this is incredible? The biological mother and child are stranger than strangers. ”
Murong Qingxue shook her head, she fully understood Li Lang's mood, and she would empathize with the people who had fallen from the end of the world.
"By the way, I can understand you when you check your own background, but why did you find out about the Li Mansion?" Li Lang didn't continue, but he could guess it when he looked at Murong Qingxue's eyes and the name he had concealed from his family just now.
This is ridiculous. However, Murong Qingxue didn't think it was ridiculous, she pulled his arm: "Brother Lang, you will help me, right?"
Li Lang nodded and took him to see Li Linfeng.
The hall was already full of people, and the local people who were either rich or noble came to congratulate him on his birthday, which showed the prestige of the Li family and Li Linfeng's status. Looking from a distance, Li Linfeng was more than forty and fifty years old, his face was very modest, and he was sitting upright. The lady sat beside her, smiling and entertaining the guests.
Seeing Li Lang coming, Mrs. was very happy and hurriedly pulled him in.
Li Lang saluted Li Linfeng: "The child wishes his father good fortune like the long flowing water of the East China Sea, and his longevity is better than the old pine of Nanshan." ”
When Li Linfeng saw his son come back, he burst into tears. He himself felt that it was not appropriate, why was he so easily excited when he was old: "Okay, good, just come back." ”
Seeing Murong Qingxue, he didn't ask much, but his eyes stayed on her face, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, Murong Qingxue just looked at him directly.
Seeing this situation, Madame hurried over to break the embarrassing atmosphere: "Master, this is Miss Mu, a friend of Lang'er." ”
Li Linfeng came back to his senses at this time, but he still looked at Murong Qingxue again, and said in his mouth: "Miss Mu, Miss Mu, hello." ”
Murong Qingxue also knew the courtesy, and Ying Ying bowed: "Mu Xue wishes Uncle Li a birthday, and wishes Uncle Li a prosperous sun and moon, and a long spring of pine cranes." ”
Li Linfeng nodded slightly, but his mind was a little trance, this woman's eyebrows and eyes were so familiar. The surname Mu, the surname Mu, is it her daughter?
When the lady saw that he was distracted, she came over to relieve the siege, and Li Lang took Qingxue to sit at the table.
Murong Qingxue was not a drunkard, she observed the Li couple's application, although their faces were as usual, but they still occasionally knocked over the wine glass due to nervousness. looked at each other, extremely embarrassed.
The birthday banquet was spent in a trance, and through Guò observation, Murong Qingxue's heart also had a little eyebrows, and the events of the year must have nothing to do with the Li couple. Take a step back and say they must have been in the know.
"Brother Lang, when are you going to leave?" Murong Qingxue asked.
Li Lang also understood a little in his heart, and just asked her: "When do you want me to leave?" ”
"Two days, in two days, I'll find out. Murong Qingxue's eyes were full of firmness, this kind of stubbornness was beyond her age, and Li Lang couldn't help but feel a little distressed in his heart.
Murong Qingxue decided to ask Li Linfeng, after all, he was the person concerned, and only he knew best what happened back then. It's just that whenever she wants to look for it, she is always stopped by her wife under the pretext of something. Murong Qingxue was also not easy to attack, and she couldn't help but be suspicious of her in her heart.
After dinner, Li Lang asked Murong Qingxue to go to Li Linfeng again, and he went to his wife's room.
When Mrs. saw that Li Lang took the initiative to find her, she was naturally overjoyed, and hurriedly asked the maid next to her to get some food. Looking at the person in front of him, although he was graceful and luxurious, but the black hair was dazzling mixed with white hair, Li Lang's heart was also a little unbearable.
The lady looked at her son with pity, and asked him earnestly what he wanted to eat and how he had spent all these years. I asked more than a dozen questions one after another before I realized that I was out of shape, but I didn't know what to do, I got up for a while, sat down for a while, and my eyes were red because of my panic.
Is it his mother, Li Lang got up, held her hand, and hugged her in his arms: "Mother, these years, it's me who is not good." ”
In a short sentence, she poked Mrs. 's tears, she raised her head in disbelief, looked at Li Lang with tenderness written on her face, and tears kept falling: "No, it's my mother's bad, it's my mother's bad." If my mother could have been kind to you before, you wouldn't have gone to the Medicine King Valley at such a young age. My mother regrets it, my mother really regrets it, my mother wants to compensate you, Lang'er, give my mother a chance. ”
Li Lang didn't speak, and wiped away his tears for his wife. It turns out that when the knot is untied, it will be this feeling. For the first time, Li Lang felt that stubbornness was not a good thing, and that people would miss too much. It's just that Qingxue's side, will they pull their hard-won ice release suspicion into the catastrophe again.
Li Lang's heart is very chaotic, really, keep cutting, and the reason is messy, don't have a general taste in his heart.
