Chapter 29: Persuasion
On a spring afternoon, the breeze is gentle and the sun is just right. The children are starting to play outside the house, releasing the energy that has been stored for a winter.
In addition to the comings and goings of the subordinates, there are no children frolicking in the Taishi Mansion, which is particularly deserted.
Xiao Shu and Xiao Mo waited in the dim room for Li's mother to wake up, while Sun Chunyang caught a cold and couldn't go out.
Mei Xiang always felt that this spring in the house was a little bleak, and she didn't know why she felt this way.
When she arrived at the place, Mei Xiang stood still and hesitated for a moment. Finally, Mei Xiang raised her hand and knocked on the blackened wooden door.
Xiao Shu saw that Xiao Mo suddenly turned his head to look at the door, and he understood that someone was knocking on the door. Xiao Mo looked at Xiao Shu, but Xiao Shu didn't react.
There was a constant knock on the door, and it seemed that the people outside the house knew that there were people in the house.
"The eldest young master, the second young lady, I know you are inside, can you open the door for me? I have something to discuss with you. Xiao Mo heard the voice like Mei Xiang, she didn't wait for Xiao Shu to nod, she got up and went to open the door.
Mei Xiang was not completely sure that she would be able to meet the brother and sister, and when she saw the door open, Mei Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Can I go in and talk?" Mei Xiang looked at Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo nodded and turned sideways. Mei Xiang entered the house, her body couldn't help but shiver, she felt that this house was not only dilapidated but also very cold, and the subordinate room in the house was a hundred times better than here, and I don't know how Mother Li spent all these years in this house with her brother and sister.
Mei Xiang entered the Taishi Mansion when the brother and sister were one year old, and when she saw Li's mother alone with two children, she was very puzzled, but she didn't ask anyone about it.
But where there are people, there is right and wrong, especially women. Several maids who lived in the same room as Mei Xiang told her about the brother and sister on the third day of Mei Xiang's arrival.
Mei Xiang sympathized with the two children and admired Mama Li. So over the years, although Mei Xiang has not shown favor to Li Ma and the others, she has never bullied the weak like others.
Mei Xiang saw Xiao Shu sitting with her back to her, and didn't mean to turn around to look at her. But Mei Xiang needed Xiao Shu's decision, so Mei Xiang stepped forward and gently patted Xiao Shu's shoulder.
Xiao Shu turned his head unhurriedly and looked up at Mei Xiang.
"Young Master, I'm here to discuss with you about Mama Li's funeral."
"No, you don't! Mother Li, she will wake up! Before Mei Xiang could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Xiao Shu. Xiao Mo couldn't communicate with Mei Xiang, so he sat down anxiously and asked Xiao Shu in sign language: "Brother~ What does Mama Li's funeral mean?" Xiao Shu replied in sign language: "They want to do a funeral for Li's mother, and then bury Li's mother." ”
"Why did they do the funeral for Li's mother? Why do you want to bury Mama Li? In that case, Mama Li really won't be able to wake up. Brother, you tell her, we don't have to worry about them! ”
"Good Xiaomo~ Don't worry~ Brother will tell her, don't worry! I won't let them bully Mama Li again! Mei Xiang watched the two of them communicate in sign language, completely unable to understand what they meant.
"Let's go! Don't come again! Don't let anyone else come again! I won't agree to you taking Mama Li away from us! Don't waste any more time on us! Xiao Shu didn't plan to see what Mei Xiang said again, so he simply turned around.
Mei Xiang didn't want the brother and sister to deceive themselves like this anymore, she didn't want to see them so negative, and they made Mei Xiang feel even more pitiful at this time.
The brother and sister are still young, and the days ahead are still very long, and now they are decadent, so how should they spend their long lives in the future?
Mei Xiang felt that since she had already come and met them, she should say everything she wanted to say.
Mei Xiang squatted down and pulled Xiao Shu's shoulders so that he could face him so that he could know what he was talking about.
Xiao Shu's body was obviously a little stiff, he didn't expect Mei Xiang to make such a move.
"Young Master~ You listen to me~ I know that you and Mama Li have a very deep relationship, just like mother and son. Of course, I also know that you don't want to leave Mama Li. But now the fact is that Mama Li really can't wake up again, no matter how much you can't accept it, this fact will not change. If you insist on leaving Mama Li here, Mama Li will not be able to rest in the ground, and her soul will wander around alone. In this way, Mama Li has no way to cross the Nai He Bridge, drink Meng Po soup, forget the pain of this life, and go to reincarnation. At this point, Mama Li will become a lonely ghost with deep resentment, which is even more tragic than when she was alive. Is that what you want? The kind-hearted Mama Li could have been reincarnated into a good family, a child of a rich family, well-fed, well-dressed, loved by her parents, and carefree all her life. But because of your reluctance and obsession, Mama Li may even end up scattered, and there is no corner between heaven and earth. I know how painful this parting is, and I've experienced it, but I'm still alive and well. I miss and feel sad, but my heart is satisfied when I think that she sees me doing well, and her soul rests. Therefore, you have to think carefully about whether you want to let Mama Li settle in the ground. When you think about it, you can come to me, and I'll help you. Mei Xiang looked at the brother and sister seriously, she hoped that they would listen to her words.
