Chapter 3: Returning to Another World 3
On the carved wooden bed covered with a green gauze tent, there are three thousand green silks scattered at this time, and the beautiful woman who is struggling to get up at this time is the second aunt of Zhu Fu, Zhu Zi's strange mother - Liu Ruyun.
As soon as he entered the inner room, he saw that his mother, who was worried about him day and night, was forced to stand up from the bed and wanted to get up, Zhu Zimo was so shocked that he immediately stepped forward and pressed Liu Ruyun back to the bed, not so much pressing, but supporting.
Accompanied by that gentle and careful movement, it was Zhu Zimo's worried voice: "Mother, didn't the crepe doctor say that your body is too weak to get up and move casually? ”
Liu Ruyun raised her hand to caress Zhu Zimo's handsome face with worry, and smiled with relief: "My mother hasn't seen you for almost two months, and when I heard your voice at first glance, I forgot the advice of the crepe doctor." Mother knows that you feel sorry for your mother, and my mother must be careful in the future, and never let the crepe doctor have the opportunity to nag my Mo'er. ”
Hearing this, Zhu Zimo finally eased his complexion and nodded with a smile.
Sitting sideways on the side of Liu Ruyun's bed, Zhu Zimo looked at Liu Ruyun with a straight face, and asked, "Mother, if Mo'er doesn't get anything this time, is my mother willing to leave here with Mo'er?"
Liu Ruyun couldn't help but be a little stunned when she heard Zhu Zimo ask like this, but then shook her head with a light smile: "Mo'er, although my mother is just a lowly concubine with an inferior status, thanks to the grace of the old lady, I took the position of the second aunt, but my mother knows the truth of marrying her husband, and my mother has never thought of leaving my lord since the day she married my master." Even if the master is not there in the future, the mother will live in this Zhu Mansion until the day. ”
Liu Ruyun's words were tantamount to a huge rock for Zhu Zimo, almost overwhelming him, who was already a little overwhelmed.
"That's right! Mo'er understood. Zhu Zimo nodded at Liu Ruyun with a light smile on his face.
Since Liu Ruyun said this, in other words, no matter whether Zhu Zimo cares about the Zhu family's property or not, Zhu Zimo must compete with Zhu Ziyao, who is the eldest son, otherwise, Liu Ruyun's life in the Zhu Mansion in the future will only be even more bleak and unbearable than now, because Zhu Ziyao will never tolerate Liu Ruyun enjoying what belongs to him!
"Mo'er, why did you suddenly ask like this, is something wrong?" Liu Ruyun's eyes suddenly rose with a touch of panic.
Liu Ruyun actually knows very well that it is impossible for a child born to her as a cheap concubine, no, it is impossible to get a fraction of the family property!
The reason why Liu Ruyun insisted on staying in Zhu Mansion was not to covet the cold monthly silver in Zhu Mansion, she was just afraid that leaving with Zhu Zimo would affect Zhu Zimo, after all, her current health can be said to be getting worse.
On the other hand, Liu Ruyun wanted to stimulate Zhu Zimo.
After all, it is a biological mother and son, Liu Ruyun knows very well that Zhu Zimo is not as cowardly and incompetent as he appears in front of people, and the ruthlessness and ruthlessness in his bones will only be shown when facing outsiders, in front of her, Zhu Zimo will always be a good child who is obedient and gentle.
Although Liu Ruyun doesn't want his son to tear apart and pretend to be ruthless, if he wants to survive in this era and environment, he can only use despicable or even cruel means. This is the truth that Liu Ruyun has realized in this small courtyard for more than 20 years.
But after thinking about it, Liu Ruyun felt a little regretful: It's a pity that Zhu Zimo has always regarded Zhu Ziyao's mother and son as relatives, and Zhu Zimo never cared about the Zhu family's property, otherwise Zhu Zimo would not have been accommodating to Zhu Ziyao's mother and son all these years, which also made Zhu Zimo form an appearance of cowardice and incompetence in the eyes of outsiders.
Zhu Zimo didn't know what Liu Ruyun was thinking, Zhu Zimo only thought that he couldn't pretend to be kind and cowardly like this anymore, and he had to use some ruthless means, not for himself, just for his mother to be able to live in this Zhu Mansion in the future, he also had to do it!
Although even if he leaves the Zhu Mansion, Zhu Zimo can still make Liu Ruyun live a good life, even hundreds of times better than in this Zhu Mansion, but since Liu Ruyun insists on staying in the Zhu Mansion, Zhu Zimo, who is a son, must fulfill his mother's wishes.
Zhu Zimo shook his head with a light smile, and comforted Liu Ruyun with a gentle voice: "Mother, it's okay." Mo'er just wants to know what Mo'er will choose if she can't get the property, since her mother doesn't want to leave the Zhu Mansion, Mo'er will let her mother taste what she wants, so that her mother can live in this Zhu Mansion for a long time!"
When Liu Ruyun heard Zhu Zimo say this, she suddenly understood in her heart that her Mo'er was about to fade away from the cowardly disguise that had been draped outside for more than 20 years!
But to understand clearly, Liu Ruyun still smartly didn't break it, just held Zhu Zimo's hand with one hand, and smiled slightly weakly at Zhu Zimo: "It's okay." As long as you're okay, your mother will be relieved. ”
The more Liu Ruyun said this, the more unswerving Zhu Zimo's idea of fighting for Liu Ruyun's family property became.
Firmly patted Liu Ruyun's hand holding his palm, Zhu Zimo got up and said goodbye: "Mother, Mo'er suddenly remembered that there are still some things to deal with, so I won't accompany you much, and next time Mo'er will come to see you when she is free." ”
"Good. It's important to get down to business, let's go!" Liu Ruyun didn't stay, but watched Zhu Zimo stride away with a smile.
"Miss, force the second young master like this...... Okay?" Liu Ruyun's personal maid Ziyu stood quietly and listened from beginning to end, until Zhu Zimo left for a long time before asking softly.
Due to the habit of many years, when there are only two people, Ziyu and Liu Ruyun, Ziyu is always used to calling Liu Ruyun "Miss", but both of them know very well in their hearts, where is Liu Ruyun What kind of noble lady is there?
Liu Ruyun raised his eyes and glanced at Ziyu who was standing on the inside of the arch not far away, and did not answer, only slowly raised his arm, and said softly: "I've been lying down for a day, help me get up and sit for a while!"
In fact, when she heard Zhu Zimo's shout early in the morning, Liu Ruyun could have called Ziyu to come and help her up, but Liu Ruyun deliberately wanted to get up by herself, so she did it for Zhu Zimo to see.
Hearing this, Ziyu hurriedly stepped forward and carefully helped Liu Ruyun to sit up and lean on the bedpost, and pulled a pillow to cushion Liu Ruyun's waist, so that Liu Ruyun could lean more comfortably.
After Ziyu helped him fold the quilt, Liu Ruyun looked at You Open's door, and his tone was very weak: "Ziyu, you have followed me since you were a child, what I think you can't guess? I don't want to rely on Mo'er to enjoy any glory and wealth, I just hope that he can fight for himself." You also know Mo'er's ability, but Mo'er was born to see everything lightly, and his temperament is a little cold, if he doesn't fight for a piece of the world now, I'm afraid that his twilight years will be even more desolate than mine. As for that Zhu Ziyao, apart from eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, what other skills does he have? Zhu Ziyao's current status in the mansion is all earned by the eldest lady, if one day the lord and the eldest lady go, what do you think Zhu Ziyao still has the ability to support the huge family business of the Zhu family? It's a pity that the eldest lady is the lord's main room, and the lord is the person who is favored and loved by the lord, and I am just an unfavored concubine, or the most inferior concubine. Zhu Ziyao is the eldest son of Zhu Fu's serious son, but Mo'er is a humble concubine. If it weren't for the old lady's favor, it is unknown whether Mo'er would have lived past one year old. If the old lady is still here, or if there is no such reason, I don't have to worry so much about Mo'er! If Mo'er wants to survive in this Zhu Mansion, she must compete for the family property! This is just a meager wish in my mother's heart that my son can enjoy happiness in the future. ”
Liu Ruyun's words made Ziyu on the side feel sad for a while. Yes, there is no mother in the world who does not love her own children, and it has not been easy for her young lady over the years.
Seeing that Liu Ruyun's eyes were a little red when he said this, Ziyu hurriedly comforted her: "Miss, just relax! You and the slave know the second young master's ability, as long as the second young master wants to fight, there is nothing that the second young master can't fight!"
Hearing Ziyu say this, Liu Ruyun was indeed a lot relieved, so he smiled at Ziyu and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep and stopped talking.
Seeing Liu Ruyun closing his eyes and pretending to sleep, Ziyu gently retreated to the outer room to guard the door.
Let's take a look at Zhu Zimo again.
After Zhu Zimo left the courtyard where Liu Ruyun lived, he first went back to the bedroom in his own courtyard, took off the brocade robe on his body, and changed into a blue coarse cloth shirt that was not too eye-catching, and then Zhu Zimo quietly came to the back door of Zhu's mansion and walked out of Zhu's mansion through the back door.
Outside the back door of Zhu's mansion is a narrow alley one meter wide, both sides of the alley are high gray courtyard walls, even in the daytime this alley is rarely inhabited, at this moment the sky will be dark but not dark, this alley is even more empty.
Out of the back door of Zhu's mansion, Zhu Zimo turned to the right, walked along this deep and narrow alley to the end, looked around and saw that there was no one before Zhu Zimo flashed into a small courtyard next to him.
This courtyard gives people a dilapidated and barren feeling both at the gate and in the courtyard, but when you really step into the house in the courtyard, this dilapidated and barren feeling immediately changes dramatically.
In the courtyard outside the house, there are broken wooden tables and chairs, and even the cups for drinking water are clay, but inside the house is a uniform new mahogany furniture, and even the cups for drinking water are all copper, and the workmanship is exquisite.
However, at this time, Zhu Zimo was not in the mood to appreciate these expensive furniture.
I saw Zhu Zimo neatly close the door, latch, and then walked to the side of the mahogany bed, and reached out and pulled the left side of the two blue ribbons hanging from the bedpost.
Strange things happened, only to hear a subtle but slightly dull "rumbling" sound in the originally quiet room, and following the sound, it was the sound of the stone door rising on the wall next to the bed!
Letting go of the blue ribbon in his hand, Zhu Zimo quickly dodged into the stone door, and the stone door slowly fell from behind him until it landed with a "bang".
Inside the house, a qiē returned to calm, as if no one had ever come.
