Chapter 496: Mother
Although the woman in front of her looks very similar to He Wan'er at first glance, a closer look shows that she is not a girl in the mood for love.
However, what is the spring and autumn of this white lady? Xiao Jing really couldn't guess.
She looks like she's in her early thirties; If you are more optimistic, some people will believe her if she is less than thirty years.
At this moment, the relationship between her and Wan'er no longer needs to be explained: two people who are almost carved out of the same mold, what can they be if they are not mother and daughter?
"What a handsome young man."
Madame Bai stopped three steps away from Xiao Jing and looked at him carefully for a moment, then covered her lips and smiled.
Obviously, she didn't deliberately pretend, but this smile was still charming, which made people's hearts shocked.
Xiao Jing was stunned for a moment and then lowered his head and said, "Xiao is rude, I didn't expect Mrs. to be so young." ”
His words are mostly polite. He Wan'er is eighteen or nineteen years old this year, and from this fact, no matter how young Mrs. Bai is, she must be over thirty-three years old.
Lang Jun praised it. It's just a servant floating in the rivers and lakes, just lingering. A trace of sadness flashed on Madam Bai's face, but she quickly chuckled and said, "The concubine is nearly forty years old this year, if she doesn't want to be an elder in front of Lang Jun, she can also say 'old body'." ”
Xiao Jing blinked and smiled in return.
Since Madame Bai came out from behind the screen, the atmosphere here has been much more relaxed.
Frankly speaking, Xiao Jing even looked forward to such a way of dialogue - as long as it was not a formal occasion, Xue'er and Ziqian were not too rigid under his influence, but in comparison, other women in this era were too one-sided, and they couldn't wait to force you to sit upright together after a few words, which made him, a modern person, feel very uncomfortable.
Although Madame White is known as a demon girl on the outside, she is more like a living person.
Seeing that the atmosphere eased down, an inevitable question surfaced in Xiao Jing's mind:
After the rebellion of the Hundred Immortals Sect was extinguished, wasn't its holy daughter executed?
With a faint glance, Madame Bai took in the suspicion in Xiao Jing's face.
"The concubine is indeed the person back then...... Lang Jun don't doubt it. She sighed and said faintly: "The holy woman who died under the sword of the imperial court more than ten years ago...... In fact, it is a sister of the concubine. ”
Xiao Jing nodded abruptly.
These guilds all have methods of self-preservation, and some of them are crooked. During an interview, Xiao Jing had heard that some leaders would select people who were seven or eight points similar to their own appearance to take with them, and over time, the behavior of the two would become more and more similar.
Once disaster strikes, this almost fake stand-in will be pushed out as a substitute after a dress-up.
In recent years, the portraits given by the government to key criminals are not as detailed as the draft in the palace, and the people below are eager to invite credit, so it is not difficult to steal beams and change pillars.
"The relationship between the concubine and Wan'er, Lang Jun should have guessed it." Madam Bai seemed to struggle a little, but in the end she said resolutely: "Today is a private meeting, the concubine is not a person from the Hundred Immortals Sect, and she will not call herself 'this seat' as usual...... The concubine is just an ordinary mother, no different from thousands of mothers in the world. ”
Saying that, she actually made a big salute in front of Xiao Jing: "Thank you for taking care of Wan'er all the time." Even if the concubine is broken, it is difficult to ensure Lang Jun's kindness in case. ”
In an instant, the style of painting changed abruptly. Rao is Xiao Jing has seen a lot of big scenes, and it is inevitable that he will be a little at a loss at this time. In a panic, he hurriedly helped him and said, "It's just a matter of raising your hands, why should Madame be like this, hurry up!" ”
Mrs. Bai insisted on finishing the salute before getting up, and tears appeared in her eyes: "Lang Jun can afford this salute." The daughter of the concubine, who is miserable, has been lonely since she came to the world, and there is always the idea of a traitor beating her. If it weren't for Lang Jun, she would have ...... long ago Alas. ”
It seems that she should have known Wan'er's whereabouts a long time ago.
It's not hard to see why. The followers of the Hundred Immortal Sect are all over the three sects and nine streams, and as long as people are still in this world, sooner or later they will find some clues.
As for "the attention of an adulterer beating her" - it should be said that she was betrayed when she was in the teaching department, right?
"Since Madame has long known Wan'er's whereabouts, why don't you take her to her side? She has been searching for her family for a long time, but in the end she has repeatedly returned in vain, and she is very sad every time......"
Xiao Jing realized that something was wrong in the middle of his words, and closed his mouth obediently.
Madame Bai said sadly: "Why don't you want to be a concubine? However, this must not be done. The concubine's life is hard enough, if she is brought back, it will only make her the next Madame Bai, and the concubine doesn't want her to live like this. ”
She raised her head slightly, with a look of longing on her face: "The concubine heard that she is an innocent, pure, lively and delicate girl, just let her continue to be like this." ”
Xiao Jing looked at her face, convinced that this joy came from the heart.
If He Wan'er is brought back, then she will definitely be controlled by the people of the Hundred Immortal Sect, and if she doesn't get it, she will take over her mother's mantle.
Madame Bai is really well-intentioned.
"Invite Lang Jun over today, in fact, there is still something to discuss."
Madam Bai took a few deep breaths to calm down her emotions and said, "Concubine...... If you want to meet Wan'er, please ask Lang Jun to fulfill it. ”
"No way!"
Xiao Jing was still warm at the previous moment, and the words of rejection at the next moment had blurted out, which was almost an instinctive reaction.
"Madame should know her identity, and she should also know Wan'er's identity." He put away his smile and said, "You and Wan'er are both prisoners of the imperial court, and they are in danger all the time, which is too risky.
Besides, Wan'er can live carefree because she doesn't know where her family is. Once you find your mother-in-law, do you think she can still live alone? If she insists on coming to you, how can she stop her? ”
Madame Bai said softly: "The concubine understands, the concubine understands, but ......"
Tears finally rolled down her cheeks.
Opposite her, Xiao Jing also wavered a little.
Wan'er left her shortly after she was born, and the mother and daughter hadn't seen each other for nearly twenty years. No matter what Madame Bai is, a mother's love for licking calves will never be fake, God knows how much she has accumulated for her daughter in these countless days and nights, and how many times she has washed her face with tears.
"If Lang Jun is inconvenient, then let the concubine look at her from a distance." Madame Bai said with tears in her eyes: "She is the concubine's biological daughter after all...... Even once. ”
Xiao Jing thought quietly. One of the things I noticed on the way here, the details I found here...... In this way, many clues gathered into his mind, and some judgments were slowly generated.
"Madame, don't be sad, Xiao promised you."
Xiao Jing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "I will definitely let you and Wan'er meet each other!" ”
