Chapter 50: Face-to-face

"Grandmother!"

Xie Roujia ran to Mrs. Xie's courtyard and shouted loudly.

A servant woman ran out of the courtyard in a panic.

"The old lady is not good, the old lady is not good."

How can it be! Can't wait?

Xie Roujia pushed away the servant woman and rushed in.

Really dead?

Du Wangshu's footsteps paused.

"Grandmother, you wait, I invited Du Wangshu."

Xie Roujia's voice sounded in the courtyard, and Du Wangshu came back to his senses and raised his feet to follow.

"Wait!"

Old Lady Xie's voice came from the room, hurried and uneasy.

"You're waiting to come back in."

Xie Roujia stopped in front of the door.

"How's Grandfather and Grandmother?" She asked hurriedly.

"It'll be right away." Old Lady Xie said.

Straight away? What will be right away?

Xie Roujia was puzzled, but she still stood obediently outside the door until the old lady Xie shouted inside.

Xie Roujia hurriedly went in, and Du Wangshu also came in, and saw the old woman lying on the bed at a glance, and his steps couldn't help but pause again.

She......

The woman on the bed was dressed in red, and she was ...... Same as before.

It's just that her neatly combed sideburns have turned gray, and they are no longer as black as ink.

It's old, and half of my life has passed in the blink of an eye.

"Grandfather, grandmother, she ......" Xie Roujia stepped forward to look hurriedly.

Old Madam Xie stared at her eyes, although her breathing was weak but still gentle, she was not dead as the servant woman said, and her face was ruddy.

Rosy?

Xie Roujia was stunned, this is rouge......

"It's time to meet the guests. I'll give your grandmother a make-up and dress up. Old Lady Xie whispered to her.

Women are the ones who please themselves.

Or that Old Lady Xie wants to maintain Old Lady Xie's pride, and doesn't want her wolf Bèi to be seen by the people she has been thinking about all her life, he just wants her to be seen by him when she is still so beautiful.

Xie Roujia's eyes were sour, and she was attached to Old Madam Xie's ear.

"Grandmother, Du Wangshu is here." She said.

Du Wangshu is here!

When these words were spoken, Old Madam Xie, who had been motionless and stiff, suddenly shook and turned her head.

As soon as I followed up, I heard the servants shouting that the old lady was gone, and Mrs. Xie and others saw this scene. I couldn't help but scream.

I don't know if it was this sudden exclamation or because Old Madam Xie suddenly turned her head. Du Wangshu only felt that his body stiffened, and met the eyes of Old Madam Xie.

They haven't seen each other in decades.

The face in front of him was old and wrinkled, but why did he recognize her at first sight.

Old Madam Xie's cloudy gaze slowly condensed. Her lips moved, and although she didn't make a sound, Du Wangshu's ears still sounded.

"Du Wangshu." She said.

Du Wangshu.

Others either call him Du Gongzi or Wangshu Gongzi. Or the Thirteen Langs of the Du Family.

It was only her, since that day she stopped in front of him on the road and asked him what his name was. I have been nominating people with surnames to call him.

"Wangshu Gongzi." Old Lady Xie got up and left the bed, pointing to the chair next to the bed, "You, you sit here." ”

Ever since the mother fell. Old lady Xie has never left the bed, and he can't let him leave if he is persuaded to leave, but now this Du Wangshu is standing in the house. He jumped out of bed and stepped aside, looking humble and flattering. It's as if he is the dove who occupies the magpie's nest, he is an outsider, and Du Wangshu is the main one.

Mrs. Xie trembled angrily.

"Sit what sit! Get him on his knees! She shouted.

Old lady Xie shushed at her.

And Du Wangshu neither sat down nor knelt down, he didn't even take a step forward, facing the gaze of Old Madam Xie, his stiff body regained his stiffness.

"Xie Shan, you're finally going to die." "You've lived long enough," he said. ”

Mrs. Xie screamed again and rushed up to hit him, but Mrs. Xie stopped her and pulled her away.

"Don't argue, don't argue." He said hurriedly, "Look, your mother has spoken. ”

Mother spoke?

Mrs. Xie stopped her movements and looked at Mrs. Xie.

Old Madam Xie's gaze was still looking at Du Wangshu.

"Hmm." She made a sound.

is no longer a muttered three words of Du Wangshu, but a word of um.

Well?

It was an unconscious tone, or an answer to his words.

Well?

Du Wangshu smiled, a little mocking and a little sad.

It's still the same, stubborn and hateful.

You say I'm finally going to die? Well, yes, I'm going to die.

You say I've lived too long? Well, yes, I've lived too long.

So what?

How?

"That's great." Du Wangshu looked at her and said with a smile.

Mrs. Xie struggled angrily again.

"You made my mother angry to death, Du Wangshu, don't think about getting out of the Xie family today!" She shouted.

Du Wangshu didn't look at her.

"Since I'm here today, I don't want to go out of Xie's house." He said, looking at Old Madam Xie, "I will definitely watch you breathe with my own eyes." ”

Old Madam Xie hummed again, kept looking at him, and moved her lips again.

"Du Wangshu." She said.

This time it was much louder than before, and everyone standing in front of the door heard it.

"I can speak."

"Sure enough, it's good to see this person?"

"What's good, it's a return to the light."

"What will the old lady say to him?"

In front of the door, the Song Shaw whispered in a low voice, and the two approached with a little curiosity.

Old Madam Xie's voice sounded in the room again.

"Du Wangshu." She shouted, a little louder than before.

"Mother, what do you want from him? You say, you say, I'll do it. Mrs. Xie took a few steps over, knelt beside the bed, and choked up.

"Yes, you say, what are you going to do to me, for your Xie family, what you do to me is a trivial matter, crush me to death. The world will only say that I deserve to die for my sin. Du Wangshu said with a smile.

"Wangshu Gongzi." Old Lady Xie stepped forward, her voice trembling, "Miss Pang's death really has nothing to do with Ah Shan." ”

Du Wangshu nodded.

"Yes, of course it has nothing to do with Miss Xie, she is a guilty person, so God let her fall to death." He said.

"Wangshu Gongzi!" Old lady Xie shouted, tears flowed from her eyes, and she knelt down. "Not really. Not really. ”

Mrs. Xie called out to her father, glaring angrily.

"Get up! Who told you to kneel him! ”

There was a moment of chaos in the room.

"Shut up!"

A shrill shout sounded, and the voices in the room fell silent. Look at where the sound is.

Xie Roujia stood beside the bed, raising her eyebrows and glaring.

"It's the old lady who wants to see Du Wangshu, it's the old lady who wants to talk to Du Wangshu, you all shut up!" She shouted.

She really thinks of herself as the head of the family!

Mrs. Xie was stunned and then immediately became furious. Old Lady Xie grabbed her.

"Ayuan, Ayuan. Please, let your mother fulfill her wishes, or she will not be blind to death. He choked up.

Mrs. Xie's body trembled and looked at Mrs. Xie. Old Madam Xie still only looked at Du Wangshu, she raised her hand to hide her face and turned her head away and stopped talking.

There was silence in the room.

"Du Wangshu." Old Madam Xie's voice sounded again.

Du Wangshu looked at her with a smile on his face.

"I'm sorry." Old Madam Xie looked at him. Said.

I'm sorry......

Everyone inside and outside the room was stunned.

Old Madam Xie would actually say I'm sorry?

The smile on Du Wangshu's face also froze.

"Du Wangshu." Old Madam Xie looked at him and said again, "I'm sorry. ”

I'm sorry?

I'm sorry!

Du Wangshu only felt his heart churning. Some can't stand.

He thought of what she would say, thought that she would tell him about Pang Peiyu at the beginning, and even thought that she would personally say that Pang Peiyu's death had nothing to do with her, but he never thought that she would say such a sentence.

I'm sorry.

Sorry what?

Sorry they met? I'm sorry she's in love with him? I'm sorry you want him to get into trouble? I'm sorry I want him to run away to provoke his fiancΓ©e? Sorry to leave him alone for the rest of his life?

Sorry what?

Why did she say sorry?

"You, what do you say!" Du Wangshu stepped forward and said.

Old Madam Xie looked at him, but did not speak again, but turned her head and closed her eyes and took a long breath.

It's as if she called him just to say this, and now it's all over.

"Xie Shan!" Du Wangshu shouted, his body trembling, "You make it clear!" Who are you sorry for! You're sorry Pang Peiyu, you go and tell her, you die and go see her and tell her, what are you telling me! ”

Old Madam Xie opened her eyes.

"I'm not sorry for her." She said, and turned her head to look at Du Wangshu again, "Du Wangshu, I'm sorry for you, your life has been ruined by me." ”

Du Wangshu, I'm sorry for you.

Du Wangshu's body was weak and unstable, Xie Roujia pushed a chair behind him in time, Du Wangshu sat down on the chair, leaned on the back of the chair and grabbed the armrest, and the arrogance of being in prison and here seemed to be drained all at once.

Everyone inside and outside the room held their breath and was silent.

Du Wangshu's laughter sounded, but this laugh was a little more sad than the previous laughter.

"I'm sorry." He said, "Ruined my life, and it ended with a word of sorry?" Xie Shan, you are so clean, you are always so clean. ”

Just like when they met, she pulled in front of him and asked him what his name was.

"Du Wangshu." She read his name, "My name is Xie Shan, you remember." ”

Like when she said she liked him.

"Du Wangshu." She raised her head, domineering and stubborn, "I like you, you like me too." ”

It's like when she and he were arguing because of their involvement.

"Du Wangshu." She frowned and stomped her feet, "It's just a fuss, as long as we're together, right?" ”

It's like when she learns that his father is going to betroth him.

"Du Wangshu." She shouted with red eyes, "You are not allowed to marry anyone else, you are not allowed to mention it, you are not allowed to think about it." ”

It's like when she learned that she had met Pang Peiyu.

"Du Wangshu." She grabbed his arm angrily, "If you see her again, I'll gouge out your eyes." ”

Just like when she faced herself and asked her why she killed Pang Peiyu.

"Du Wangshu." She looked at him coldly with a strained face, "You asked this sentence today, you will regret it for the rest of your life!" ”

Du Wangshu looked at the old woman in front of him and seemed to see the young girl again.

She stubbornly straightened her back.

"Xie Shan, is this what you want to do?" He patted the armrest and stood up and shouted, "Are you happy?" You're so happy! ”

The girl looked at him.

"No, Du Wangshu, I'm not happy." She said.

The girl in front of me disappeared, and in her place was the heavy makeup powder lying on the bed, which could not hide the old woman who was drooping.

She looked at him.

"Du Wangshu, I called you here just to answer your words at that time." She said slowly, "Du Wangshu, I'm not happy. ”

Du Wangshu sat back in his chair again, reached out to hold his head and let out a low murmur. (To be continued) R466
