Zhong Bai held Ah Feng's hand and looked at Ah Feng's eyebrows with pity, "Little Ah Feng, do you blame me...... Complaining about me but not believing it...... At the beginning, I clearly said that I don't have a daughter and I like you when I see you, and I will always keep you by my side. Ah Feng, you, don't you complain about me......" Ah Feng looked at Zhong Bai's sunken eyes, and put his other hand on the back of her hand, warming her already cold hand, "Madam, you will be fine." "Will it be...... Zhong Bai's sad smile shook Ah Feng's hand tighter, "Girl, do you know, if it weren't for inadvertently letting you see my most unbearable appearance...... I will always keep you with me. Because I am seen by you, as soon as I see you, I will remember that I, who have always regarded myself as indisputable, will also do things that are jealous...... Let you leave my side, out of sight and out of mind, I will still be noble and unclean, although I deceive myself, but it is the only way I can think of......"

"Madam......" Ah Feng's voice carried some distress and trembling, "You'll be fine." "You little girl...... Zhong Bai smiled helplessly and shook his head, "Ah Feng, you will be very fortunate to be like this." If you complain about me but care about me, if you don't give up, you will be very happy...... That day, I hit you, and my face turned red, it must have hurt a lot. I hit you, not because your sudden appearance scared me, in fact, I hated myself for how I could do such a thing, and hated myself for doing it even though I knew I shouldn't do it. The Buddha hall is obviously a place to pray for good deeds and accumulate virtues, but I cursed there that An An An could not die well, but I was seen by you who passed in advance...... I didn't expect my curse to be fulfilled so quickly, Ah Feng, now that I think about it, I really hate how happy I was when I first learned about An An's death...... You've never looked at me the way you did since then, haven't you? ”

"Madam, it's time for me to go. I'm going to help prepare your medicine, drink it and you'll be fine. Ah Feng didn't answer Zhong Bai's question directly, got up to help her tuck the quilt corner, and when she was about to leave, Zhong Baishi held her hand again and said weakly, "Ah Feng, the way you look at Ah Yu is like when I looked at the old man...... I know that Lei'er can't tolerate him, he only has you, don't leave him......" After that, Zhong Baishi slowly lowered his hand sadly, "Fortunately, you treat him sincerely......"

Zhong Yu didn't want others to help, Steward Qiu, Ah Feng and a few other maids and cooks stood in the kitchen, and could only watch Zhong Yu stand straight in front of the stove staring at the medicine jar, and the water in his hair and body was dripping down. Ah Feng slowly stepped forward a few steps, "Let's help, we want to help too." Zhong Yu looked at Ah Feng a little sneeringly, "Ah Feng, do you think I am very much."

It's useless, my mother is sick, and I can't help it, so I can only make medicine here stupidly. "No, you did your best, I know." Ah Feng's gaze was resolute, and she took a few steps back, she knew that Zhong Yu didn't need anyone's help at this time, and no matter how powerful she was, it was just in vain.

"Before, I promised my mother that when she got better, I would take her to the theater with my eldest brother. Now can you promise me that you will come along. You and me, and the eldest brother, the four of us will go to the theater together. Zhong Yu's tone was unprecedentedly humble, and everyone present also understood that Zhong Bai's illness was no longer able to return to heaven, and Zhong Yu wanted to continue listening to the drama to give herself a little hope, a little hope that she would get better. Okay, I promise. Ah Feng replied simply, she didn't want her hesitation to shatter Zhong Yu's little hope. Then we're done. Zhong Yu smiled contentedly, his smile was full of endless sadness, and turned to look at the people beside him, "Steward Qiu, Mother Zhang...... You all go back, I want to concentrate on boiling medicine alone. Ah Feng, you can go too, I don't want you to see me powerless. ”

Zhong Yu looked at the vigorous flames under the medicine jar, and then looked around, he was the only one left in the kitchen at the moment. He looked at the flames under the medicine jar again, opened the lid of the medicine jar, looked at the boiling liquid inside, and the sadness in his eyes turned into a piercing coldness, "I've waited for so many years, I've been suffering for so long, I didn't expect it to be over so soon......" After that, Zhong Yu picked up the medicine jar and poured out the medicine, looking at the decoction flowing down the medicine jar, like tears left along his eyes, the bitter taste was pungent, but he didn't know it......

Zhong Baishi slowly opened her eyes and saw that the light next to the bed was slightly yellow, she didn't know if she had slept for a while or fainted again before she woke up, only to see Zhong Yu lying on the side of her bed asleep. She slowly reached out and stroked Zhong Yu's head, Zhong Yu suddenly woke up and looked at her stunned. Zhong Baishi looked at the haggard exhaustion between Zhong Yu's eyebrows and eyes, and called him distressedly, "Ah Yu......" "Mom, you're awake!" Zhong Yu came back to his senses and looked at Zhong Bai in surprise, "Mom, is it better?" "Mom is much better." Zhong Baishi smiled and nodded, with some relief in his eyes, faintly turning into faint tears. Zhong Yu picked up the medicine bowl next to the bed and covered it with his hand, "The medicine is cold, I'll go and heat it again." "No need...... Mother Zhong looked at Zhong Yu's haggard appearance and sighed lightly, "How can I have such a filial son as you." Is it okay to feed my mother and drink medicine, the medicine boiled by my son is the most effective whether it is hot or cold. ”

Zhong Yu stirred it in the bowl with the medicine spoon, and looked at Zhong Baishi with a smile, "Okay, since my mother has told me, I will listen to my mother." Zhong Yu carefully sent a spoonful of medicine into Zhong Bai's mouth, the smile on his face dissipated, and he raised his head proudly, looking up at Zhong Mu's appearance of drinking medicine. Watching Zhong Mu swallow the medicine, he lowered his head and looked at the medicine bowl in his hand, and stopped the movement in his hand, "Mom, I always wanted to ask you, if Dad was still alive, would you send me away?" Zhong Mu was stunned for a moment, lowered her head and exhaled a long breath, "You still hate me, right?" Zhong Yu smiled lightly and continued to stir the soup in the bowl, "Mom doesn't want to say it, forget it." However, I now want to know the answer to my mother's day, what would have happened if I hadn't been asked to leave this house and let me be with you? ”

"What do you hope it will be?" Zhong Baishi asked rhetorically, his tone cautious and guilty. "Hope......" Zhong Yu read those two words in his mouth, and then looked at Zhong Bai's eyes staring at him, and smiled disappreciatively, "Mom, don't you know that there is no hope for a helpless person." But I never despair, because I know you owe me. With that, Zhong Yu helped Zhong Bai wipe his mouth and continue to feed the medicine. Zhong Mu took the medicine in her mouth, watched Zhong Yu hand the next spoonful of medicine to herself, she closed her eyes and swallowed the medicine in her mouth, "It seems that the time of atonement is still coming." Ah Yu, I want you to promise me, no, I ask you to agree...... Be kind to your brother, okay? ”

"Don't worry, I won't do anything to my eldest brother." Zhong Yu's tone was gentle, like a very well-behaved and obedient child, but the gaze in his eyes oozed a chilling thin light, "Actually, the eldest brother is a very good businessman, but it was designed by the newly opened silk village, which will make you dizzy, come, take another sip...... By the way, Mom doesn't know the name of the silk house. called, cloud ...... Tranquil...... Silk Village. Zhong Mu's body suddenly stiffened, grabbing Zhong Yu's arm, "You! You...... You ......" Zhong Yu took Zhong Mu's hand and forcibly removed it from his arm, "What's wrong with you?" It's uncomfortable, isn't it? You should be familiar with this feeling, because you also moved away from my hand firmly grasping you back then. Don't you feel like you've been retribution? I'm not as ruthless as you, and the medicine I change won't delay you for long, and it will pass soon...... Aunt. ”

"You...... You ......" Zhong Baishi smiled bitterly, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, "You are obviously a child as gentle as water, how can you be so cold now......" Zhong Yu put down the empty medicine bowl in his hand, and approached Zhong Baishi who was already pale little by little, "Ice, water is for it, and cold is for water, so there is nothing wrong with this." Zhong Yu slowly approached her ear, "Do you know why I hugged you and refused to leave the day I left home?" It's not because I'm reluctant, but I want to listen to your heartbeat and imagine what shape it is...... Your heart is the shape of a knife's tip, as cold as ice. The way I am today is the result of my aunt's good intentions. ”

"Lei'er......" Zhong Baishi struggled, stretched out his hand into the air, the tears in his eyes and the sweat on his forehead intertwined, and called out to Zhong Lei weakly. Zhong Yu looked at Zhong Bai's struggling appearance with cold eyes, squatted down, and wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, "I haven't even taken care of my own biological mother so carefully, but you still feel sorry for your eldest brother." Auntie can really go with peace of mind, because the Zhong family's family business will definitely be more prosperous in my hands, and my eldest brother really can't compare to me in business, because I am learning how to do business in Japan, doesn't my eldest brother also think that I should study business? I'm sorry, aunt, I didn't listen to you to study education, I don't want to be just a poor teacher. Every time Lao Li writes to you to report my recent situation, we have arranged it in advance. Auntie, your expression doesn't have to be so painful, although my poison will make you go faster, it is not so strong......"

"Second young master, I'm here to send hot water." Ah Feng suddenly came in with hot water, and saw Zhong Baishi lying on the bed trembling all over, so he put down the water and rushed to the bed, "Madam, what's wrong with you!" "Ah Feng, go and call everyone over! My mom is dying! Zhong Yu stepped forward and quickly took the basin in Ah Feng's hand and asked anxiously. Got it! Ah Feng didn't think much about it, and rushed out in a hurry.

Once again, there were only two people left in the room, Zhong Yu and Zhong Bai, Zhong Yu looked at Zhong Bai, who had given up struggling and returned to calm, "As long as you demolish me in front of Ah Feng, she may be able to help you." The aunt herself gave up a chance. "The poison is already in the guts, so there's no need for that." Although Zhong Bai's tone was weak, he was calm and calm, "The fate of our mother and son is only this last little bit of time, this is the last thing I can make up for you." ”
