(158) The heart of the bridge (7)

"Mother is fine, mother is fine, it's just your father...... Listen to my mother, and I'll go see your father later. Ning Su first comforted me, and then hesitated to say what he wanted to say.

Although my mother also knew that this might be embarrassing me, my father was injured in bed, and my mother's heart was always biased towards my father.

Looking at my mother's expectant and dodging eyes, I let out a long sigh in my heart.

"Okay, my son listens to you."

Ning Su's eyes immediately overflowed with joy, and even his originally pale face became a little angry.

When I saw such a mother, I only felt that something was scratched in the bottom of my heart, as if it was about to reveal a pale and barren hollow.

"Grandmother." I faced the old ancestor "the matter of the second brother, since you have decided, then the grandson will not interfere, the grandson knows that he still has a lot of deficiencies, and will correct them one by one in the future, now the father is injured, the grandson really has no intention of doing anything else, and after the grandson goes to visit his father, he will go to the ancestral hall to punish and kneel, if the grandmother still has a lecture, he will send someone to tell the grandson in front of the ancestral hall." ”

"The grandson and mother will retreat first." After speaking, without waiting for the ancestor to speak, I took my mother's hand and left the guest hall.

Although my mother was afraid of the ancestors, but with me by her side, her heart was also more stable, and now that I took her out, she didn't think about the thoughts of the ancestors, and took me to Qijingxuan.

"Mother, otherwise you should sit outside, it's good to have your son go in, the smell of medicine inside is heavy, you are not in good health, you will not be able to stand it." When I arrived at the door of the dormitory, I stopped Ning Su, who was about to push the door in, and persuaded him slowly.

Ning Su paused, and then smiled at me reluctantly, "That's right, you just came back, for my mother, I have to let you stay alone for a while, so as to enhance your relationship......"

"Mother, my father is injured now, I won't make him angry, don't worry." I looked into my mother's eyes and reassured her.

Ning Su didn't dare to look at my eyes, so she subconsciously turned her head slightly and turned sideways slightly.

"You go in, just sit in the small pavilion outside." Ning Su stretched out her hand and pointed to the Flying Eaves Pavilion not far away, and after informing me, she walked there with a flustered expression, as if there was something behind her that scared her.

But there was a me behind her.

"Come, bring some tea and snacks to Madame." Lowering my eyes slightly, after I finished instructing the maid, I pushed open the door and stepped in.

The light in the room is a little dim, just right for people to rest and rest.

Turning the screen painted with flowers, birds, insects and fish, I walked to Shen Jingzhi's bed with light steps.

There was a carved gold furnace in front of his bed, and a dark incense of green jade was lit on the stove, the fragrance rose in a curling voice, and a faint and soothing breath permeated the room.

In fact, I haven't understood that people like him know much more than ordinary people, and he is also sincere to his mother, and he is also a filial son in front of his grandmother, but why does he always love me, and he can't even give me a little bit of love that belongs to him?

Is it because I'm a daughter? But Shen Meixin is also a daughter, why can he love her so much, really like a benevolent father, not for me?

"Why don't you speak?" Shen Jingzhi opened his eyes and looked at me with a frown.

That's it, that's how he looks, he never seems to smile at me.

"Father." I saluted him.

Shen Jingzhi waved his hand and did not speak.

"Father, are you getting better?"

"It's just a broken bone, the doctor has already seen it, it's not a big deal."

"Well, that's good."

I nodded and answered, but I didn't know what else to say.

It's been a long time since I've sat down to talk to him, or rather, I've never spoken to him in peace, and now he's hurt, as if the old estrangement has suddenly become thin, and there are some words, some things, I almost want to blurt out.

"During those days in Qizhou, your mother was worried about you every day." Unexpectedly, this time it was Shen Jingzhi who provoked the conversation first.

"It's the son who is not filial." I lowered my head guiltily, "Let my mother worry about it." ”

"If only you were really guilty." Shen Jingzhi propped himself up and sat up from the bed, "Do you know why your mother and your second mother are arguing?" ”

I was slightly stunned, and I suddenly understood why he had said so many things to me calmly today.

Regardless, I wanted to hear him say his purpose with my own ears. Reading the Book House

"Forgive my son for being stupid, my son doesn't know what happened between his mother and the second wife." I whispered back.

Shen Jingzhi looked at me, but I didn't know the inside story, so I opened my mouth and told what happened that day, "You know your mother's temperament, she is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, she is easy to talk to everyone on weekdays, but only in your affairs, she will never back down half a point." ”

"That day, Jin Ling knew that you disappeared without a trace in Qinguo, so she broke her mouth and said, 'Brother Yang probably offended some great person and died outside', your mother heard it, and she quarreled with her, arguing and arguing, and the two of them actually started to move in the carriage, and I was accidentally pushed off the carriage by Jin Ling in order to protect your mother."

Is it really careless?

I looked at the person in front of me, but I couldn't help but mock in my heart.

I'm afraid that it will be difficult to eliminate the blessings, so I can only use this method to alleviate the contradiction between the second lady and my mother, right?

"So that's ......" the expression on my face was even more ashamed, "My mother is all for me, so she doesn't care about her identity." ”

Shen Jingzhi's throat was hoarse, and he felt a little embarrassed that he didn't know how to continue.

With a light cough, Shen Jingzhi turned his gaze away.

"Now the relationship between your mother and your second mother is very stiff, and my father hopes that you can do something for your mother for the sake of your father's injury."

I sneered in my heart, but I pretended to be puzzled on my face, "What does the father want his son to do for his mother?" ”

"Go and admit your mistake." Shen Jingzhi didn't look at me, but his tone was unquestionable.

I deliberately silenced and didn't respond, Shen Jingzhi didn't hear my answer, and immediately put his eyes on me.

"You don't want to?" He wrung his eyebrows.

"No, it's just that I didn't understand what my father meant." I showed a puzzled expression, "Do you mean to ask my mother to apologize to the second lady?" ”

Actually, I know he didn't mean that, but whatever it was for, I just wanted to ask.

"You've always been smart." Shen Jingzhi saw my coy attitude this time, his face sank, and his words became much colder, "What does it mean to be a father, you understand." It was not your mother who went to apologize to Jin Ling, it was you, and the person who accepted all this apology was not Jin Ling, it was your mother. If you really still have this filial piety, don't let your father run out of tongue and be embarrassed. ”

Since he saw through my disguise, I didn't bother to pretend anymore, I stared straight into his eyes and laughed at myself, "Father, your abacus is so good!" Do you want to hold the beauty and don't have to be in a dilemma? ”

"My mother is the person on the tip of your heart, you don't want her to be wronged, and you don't want her to be estranged from you, the second lady gave birth to your son, and you don't want her to look bad, which has affected the father-son relationship between you and Shen Lin, so you want me to be this conciliator? If I go to apologize to the second lady in a low voice, she will save her face, and she will naturally be willing to compensate her mother, my mother is a soft-hearted person, and this matter can be turned over from now on, right? ”

Shen Jingzhi was seen through by me, and he was surprisingly not annoyed, but seemed to let go of some burden, and the whole person suddenly relaxed.

"You can understand all these things, and you don't have to explain anything more for your father, because your father knows, your heart has never valued me as a father, but you should always keep the joys and sorrows of your mother in mind."

"Father, are you threatening your son?" My eyes froze, and the expression on my face froze.

"As a father, you never have to threaten your children." Shen Jingzhi picked up the crutches next to the bed and stood up, "To be a child, you must obey your father's orders." ”

My face turned pale, I only felt my breath suffocated, and something flowed through my heart like this, and there was no trace of it.

"Didn't my father ever think about my feelings?" I looked up and asked him, but there was calm in my eyes.

Shen Jingzhi turned his head and did not answer my words.

I smiled wryly, turned and pushed the door open and walked out.

Yes, Shen Qingzhi, why don't you always remember, Yu Wei Yinghou's Mansion, Yu Grandmother, Yu Father, everyone up and down in this mansion, you are just a tool, an incomparably handy tool!

"Qingzhi, what's wrong with you? Not happy? Ning Su, who was sitting in the pavilion embroidering, saw me coming over with an expressionless face, and couldn't help but ask me worriedly.

I looked up at my mother's eyes, and I only felt that these eyes full of concern were so beautiful, as beautiful as the stars and moon at the bottom of the lake, as long as they touched it, they would turn into thousands of pieces.

"I'm fine, mother." In the end, that's all I said.

That's the only thing I can say.

Ning Su pulled me to sit down and showed me the things in his hand, "This is a shirt made for you by my mother, look, do you still like this color?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, "I like it." ”

"Wei Niang's craftsmanship is not as good as before, you can wear these clothes on your own house, and you still have to change into decent clothes when you go out." Ning Su was very happy when she heard me say that she liked it, but there were some things that she still had to make clear first, after all, she knew her son Mo Ruomu. What I thought in my heart, she could still guess a few points.
