"I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow, so let's do it the day after tomorrow."

Qi Muyuan said, looking up at Ye Ying, "You rarely made decisions for your mother like this before, why did you suddenly remember it today?" ”

Ye Ying said: "You have to leave here, her old man is not in good health, I am really worried, so I ......"

Speaking of the old lady, Qi Muyuan's face also had a touch of melancholy.

"It's fine." He pondered for a moment and said, "If Mother has the strength to go out the day after tomorrow, then let's go and have a play." ”

As if knowing their plan, the old lady suddenly radiated and looked very good on the third day.

But this made Ye Ying and Qi Muyuan even more worried, lest she was just returning to the light.

The old lady listened to them quietly, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I haven't played in this capital for a long time, so let's take advantage of today, otherwise in the future, I'm afraid there will be no chance." ”

As she spoke, she immediately summoned the maid to change her clothes, as if she was really interested.

Ye Ying and Qi Muyuan glanced at each other, and didn't say anything to disappoint the fun.

The three of them went out of the house together, and they played for a whole day, and where the old lady wanted to go, Ye Ying and Qi Muyuan also went together.

When she returned home in the evening, the old lady rarely stretched her eyebrows and eyes completely, and looked contented, "How good it is to come out like this, I only know what honor and disgrace I think about in the house on weekdays, and the face is actually unnecessary, I just hope that you two will not follow my old path." ”

She sighed and looked at Ye Ying again, "I know I didn't treat you well in the past, but you never cared about me, all these years, I owe you." ”

"You don't have to say that, it's just a different position." Ye Ying whispered, looking away and not looking at her.

The old lady didn't care, so she pulled Qi Muyuan to say some thoughtful words.

She seemed to be going to say all the words at this moment, and her mouth never stopped, and her words were very gentle.

When she arrived at the house, she suddenly stopped talking and said with a smile: "I'll just go back by myself, and you should go back to rest early." ”

Ye Ying opened her mouth to say something, but was stopped by Qi Muyuan, "Okay, mother, you should rest early." ”

"I know."

The old lady said softly, and then turned around and left with the help of the maid.

Ye Ying held the corner of Qi Muyuan's clothes and said uneasily: "I always feel that something might happen tonight. ”

"Don't think about it." Qi Muyuan gently covered her eyes, "No matter what happens, the clearest thing is the mother, and we just rely on her." ”

Ye Ying didn't speak, only blinked her eyes slowly.

Qi Muyuan smiled and put his hand down.

He grabbed Ye Ying's wrist and led her towards the courtyard.

It seems to be in response to Ye Ying's thoughts.

Just when they were sleeping late at night, the maid knocked on the door in a panic, and said with a crying voice outside: "General, madam, it's not good, the old lady has gone." ”

Qi Muyuan and Ye Ying both woke up suddenly at this moment.

Before the sorrow in the eyes of the two of them faded, they were both dyed with a trace of horror.

Even though they had been prepared in their hearts, when this matter really reached their ears, it still made their hearts tug hard.

The two men immediately rushed to the old lady's room.

A room full of maids were crying.

Ye Ying and Qi Muyuan walked over.

Holding the old lady's hand, Qi Muyuan could even feel the slight temperature on his hand.

The old lady had a smile on her face, she was extremely relieved, and she seemed to be walking peacefully.

Ye Ying slowly wrapped her arms around Qi Muyuan's shoulders and said softly: "She must have known for a long time, everyone will have this calamity, but she is not sorry to go, this is enough." ”

"Hmm." Qi Muyuan's voice choked slightly, "I'm not a filial son. ”

Ye Ying's eyes moved slightly, "Yesterday, the old lady also told me that she herself is not a qualified mother, and neither of you owes anyone." ”

Qi Muyuan didn't speak for a long time.

He buried his head in the old lady's hand, feeling the temperature on his hand pull away, and after a long time, he said in a dumb voice: "I'm busy these days, and the funeral will trouble you more." ”

"Okay."

Ye Ying responded softly, looking at the old lady's quiet face, a touch of sadness slowly appeared in her eyes.

She believed that the old lady was not sad when she left, and she had no worries, but when she left cleanly, the people who stayed behind would not feel peaceful in their hearts.

This night, Ye Ying and Qi Muyuan didn't sleep again.

As soon as the sky was white, Qi Muyuan entered the palace again, and Ye Ying began to handle the old lady's funeral.

White silk and white lights were hung in the house.

Gu Xin is not easy to be idle, so he helps to manage it together.

According to the rules, the mortuary must be closed for three days before the coffin is sealed.

In the past three days, Ye Ying deliberately found a clean courtyard with a good scenery for the old lady to make a final stop.

Seeing her doing her best, Gu Xin couldn't help but sigh: "Before the old lady died, the relationship between the two of you was not very good, but when she went, I actually felt that you were the most harmonious mother-in-law and daughter-in-law." ”

Ye Ying smiled lightly, "There is no big grudge against her, she just treats me harshly, I don't need to really hate her, not to mention that we traveled together that day, she can be regarded as approving me, which is enough." ”

Gu Xin didn't quite understand what she said, but the dead were the greatest, no matter what the past was, at this time, she still gave the old lady the respect she deserved.

On the day of the funeral, almost half of the nobles in Beijing came to put a stick of incense on the old lady.

Even King Ming personally bowed three times in front of the old lady's tablet.

No matter what kind of person she was when she was alive, at least she still had the respect of these people.

In the past few days of the funeral, Qi Muyuan has to keep filial piety at night, and he has to wear filial piety clothes to busy affairs during the day, and there is no time to close his eyes at all.

Ye Ying was distressed, and when he was keeping a vigil on this day, he still persuaded him: "You can sleep for a while, you are like this, the old lady will not be happy if she has a spirit in the sky." ”

Qi Muyuan shook his head lightly, "I'm a person who is about to go on an expedition, and I don't know when I'll come back, what if I don't do more filial piety at this time." ”

"Then you should take care of your body." Ye Ying pushed him, "I will guard your share together, you can rest for even an hour, if you insist on refusing to sleep, then I will accompany you from now on without sleeping." ”

Qi Muyuan frowned, "You are weak and can't withstand this toss." ”

"Then don't let me toss like this."

Ye Ying raised her head and looked at him seriously, and there was no doubt in her still weak tone: "You go to sleep." ”

Qi Muyuan smiled dumbly, and finally relented, "Okay." ”
