CHAPTER XIII

It wasn't until there was a slight sound of the door closing outside that the old lady turned her head to look at Mo Shi and her niece, beckoned the two of them to come over, and said in a rare and gentle voice: "You two, over the years, you may have blamed me in your heart and complained about me..." As soon as the old lady said this, Xiao Chen had already hurriedly said: "Auntie, I have never been." Mo Shi also shook his head at the old lady on the side, saying that he didn't have such thoughts in his heart.

The old lady coughed twice and continued: "Whether you have it or not, the old woman and I will also take advantage of the breath to tell you what is in my heart, Shuxian, you are too virtuous, Xin'er has accepted a room of concubines, I don't see you have been a little dissatisfied, although there is only one concubine over the years, but in the future, do you want to look at a room of concubines and concubines to call your mother?" ”

The old lady said this to Xiao Chen, she still has more worries in her heart, her niece is not like herself at all, her younger brother and younger siblings taught her to be too virtuous and virtuous, she just saw her well, so she ordered her for her second son, after all, it was a love affair that grew up together, and the cousins and sisters of the in-laws were only a few months apart, which was better than outsiders who didn't know the details, but...

Xiao Chen heard the old lady's words, lowered his head and wiped his tears silently, but didn't say anything, the old lady saw her like this, and really had nothing to say, what her niece was like, she also knew it, fortunately, her children had grown up, and she was also filial to her, now there is only one concubine, she is still young, and after two years, Min Si got married, if the granddaughter-in-law is a little stronger, she will naturally be able to protect her niece.

The old lady no longer forced Xiao Chen to become powerful, but thought in her heart that although she would inevitably have to suffer for a few years, it would be good to wait for Min Si to come out, the old lady shook her head, sighed and looked at Mo again: "Mo, you..." The old lady thought for a long time, but she didn't know how to talk about it, and she was a little stunned for a while.

Xiao Chen, who was originally bowing her head and wiping her tears, saw that the old lady suddenly stopped talking, thinking that she had something to say to her younger siblings in private, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, then smiled, and said to the old lady: "Mother, I'll go down first to see how the medicine is." The old lady shook her head and said, "Naturally, someone is watching the medicine, so you stay here." ”

Xiao Chen saw that the old lady had spoken, so he had to sit on the edge of the bed again and stop talking, the old lady thought for a long time before she spoke again: "I also blamed me for what happened back then, I only blamed me for looking at your hearty and generous temperament, but my mother's family was not obvious, so I responded to the family matter, who knew that Han'er had made so many things, it was the old woman I am sorry for you, and you are not the one you married." ”

After the old lady finished speaking, she wanted to get up and make amends to Mo's, but Mo's hurriedly helped the old lady back, and then said in a choked voice: "Mother, I took a fancy to him myself, and I begged for this family affair, no one else is to blame, only to blame myself for not being good enough." At this moment, even if Mo Shi has a lot of resentment against the old lady for snatching her daughter, she can only bury it in her heart.

"I have lived a lifetime, I really want to say sorry for the people, it is the two of you, so that you are not married, fortunately, Shuxian you also have a son, he is filial piety, and he is old, although there are some concubines in the family, it will always be better in the future, as for you, when you were pregnant with Minwei, the old woman and I thought that you would have a son, and I would rely on you for the rest of my life..."

When the old lady said this, Mo Shi had already taken the lead and said: "The daughter-in-law is not filial and did not give birth to a son, but it is enough for the daughter-in-law to have Minwei, it is really enough." When the old lady heard Mo mention Minwei, she also had a faint smile.

"Minwei is very good, but after all, she is a daughter, and your future path is more difficult than that of Shuxian, but you finally have a daughter, and there is always some hope for the future." The old lady said this, she was already a little lacking in spirit, but she still looked at the two daughters-in-law in front of her with worry, one was docile and indisputable, and the other was cowering and timid, how could she feel at ease.

But she had already said everything she could say, and she didn't have so much energy to care about the rest, so she could only finally speak: "You must always remember that you are mothers, and your children still rely on you to live well, especially Minwei, who is only a few years old." After the old lady finished speaking, she didn't look at the reactions of the two before waving her hand, "You all go down, just let Minwei come in and talk to me." ”

Mo and Xiao Chen glanced at each other, both blessed with blessings, and then each retreated with a heavy heart, and waited until both of them retreated, and after a while, Min Wei came in and saw that the old lady sat quietly on the bed and looked at the door, and when she came in, the smile in her eyes was obviously much more, Min Wei walked in and stood on the edge of the bed.

The old lady took Minwei's hand over, and then said with some emotion: "My little girl has grown up in a blink of an eye." As he spoke, he stretched out his trembling hand and touched Minwei's head.

The old lady looked at Minwei in front of her, from the first time she held the white and tender baby in her arms to now, this has grown a little, the milky fragrance on her body has dissipated, only the pair of black eyes, always with a little bit of the breath of a baby, just like at that time, when she picked up the swaddling clothes, she saw her with those black eyes, looking at herself clearly.

The old lady involuntarily stopped her hand next to Min Wei's eyes, her dark eyes lined with the slight redness and swelling around the eyes, coupled with the little bit of water that permeated the black, the old lady saw Min Wei like this, and probably knew that her time was running out, some things she knew was one thing, but it was another thing to know through the reactions of others.

"Don't cry, people, they're just passers-by in the world." Although the old lady's words were very relieved, it did not mean that Min Wei could accept it, maybe she was not unacceptable, but she refused to admit it, after all, in this huge Jiang family, among the many relatives, except for one Mo family, the rest is just the old lady's sincere pity for herself.

"Okay, don't cry, the little girl has loved to smile at her grandmother since she was a child, and now let's laugh too." The old lady's voice was a little weak, but the hand that stopped next to Min Wei's eyes was still trembling and gently rubbing Min Wei's eyes, very carefully, very seriously, as if she was wiping a treasure, Min Wei sniffed, and then showed a smile, not the smile of the past, but a big smile.
