She hadn't felt this way in a long time.

"Madam, I'll go out first if there's nothing to do."

"Well, let's get busy."

After leaving the study, Wu's mother went back to her room.

She is 65 years old with gray hair, her real name is Wu Lifang, and she is currently the oldest person in the Li family.

When Grandpa Li Zishen was alive, she had already come to Li's house, responsible for massaging the old man's legs and taking care of his feet.

Although he never married and did not know a few big characters, he single-handedly brought up Li Zihan after the death of the old man, and he took care of Mrs. Li's daily life diligently over the years.

Therefore, everyone respectfully calls her Mama Wu.

Although her status is not as high as that of Chen's mother in Li Garden, she is also very important in this garden.

Mrs. Lai trusted her very much.

The bedroom was gray, and Wu's mother didn't turn on the lights.

She shuffled with heavy steps towards the closet.

When you open the door, there is a locked drawer in the middle, and there is a lot of space in it, but there is only a dark red jewelry box.

Simple and concise, ash material.

On the front are a few lotus leaves, two budding lotus flowers, and two small carp, which are very delicately carved in relief, but on the lid of the wooden box are two fully open lotus flowers.

Mother Wu didn't open it, but just touched a row of small characters on the box, "Holding the hand of the son and growing old with the son" and then bowed deeply.

When she looked up, her eyes were already moist.

The past 20 years ago is vividly remembered.

A rainy autumn night, a helpless girl......

"Miss Yi, I'm sorry."

As she spoke, Mother Wu gently rolled up the cuffs of her shirt and made a sharp cut on her arm with a fruit knife.

There were already several scars on the old arm.

Blood flowed out in an instant......

"Miss Yi, in a few days it will be your Good Friday. After all these years, when I think about it, my heart feels as bad as being burned. ”

"I'm sorry, please forgive me for my sins!"

Gradually, the wound stopped bleeding.

Wu's mother didn't give it any medicine, but just cleaned up the surroundings, and then pulled down the sleeves of her clothes.

This way of atonement for her sins eased her guilt.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Mother Wu, Madame called you."

"Got it."

Wu's mother answered as she locked the drawer, then brushed her gray hair and left the bedroom.

It was already eight o'clock, and except for the two servants in charge of cleaning in the annex, who were carefully tidying up the hall, no one else was allowed to move around at will.

Mrs. Li didn't sleep well, and eight o'clock was the cordon.

Wu's mother went up the third floor through the stairs.

Before entering the door, she thought about it for a while, guessing that it might be related to Lin Ping.

The door was hidden and the room was softly lit.

Knock knock knock......

"Come in."

The voice sounds very gentle, it seems that he is in a good mood, Madame has probably figured it out, right?

Wu's mother's brows gradually relaxed, and she pushed the door in.

"Madame, are you looking for me?"

"Go get some wine, and cucumbers, and don't let anyone see them."

Mother Wu looked at the balcony in surprise.

I saw Mrs. Li lying on the recliner with her back to her, and her whole body looked very slender.

She has been a vegetarian for many years.

Even during the physical examination, the family doctor repeatedly emphasized that it was necessary to properly supplement lean meat, otherwise it would be bad for health, but Mrs. Li always ignored it, and what should be done.

Li Zishen also had a headache because of this.

There were several cooks in the Nanjiang Villa, but none of them could make Mrs. Li have an appetite.

Drink?

This is strictly forbidden by doctors!

"Madam, what are you ......?"

"If you suddenly want to have a drink, let's go.

Mother Wu didn't leave immediately, but was about to persuade a few more words, but Mrs. Li spoke again: "By the way, Mother Wu, by the way, let's cut a plate of beef, I don't eat it, I suddenly thought about it." ”

Mother Wu: "......"

Mrs. Li: "Why don't you go yet?" ”

"Yes, ma'am."

The solid wooden door was slowly closed, and Wu's mother left the third floor with a heavy heart.

Along the way, I struggled with wine and beef.

……

Li Yuan.

Li Zishen had a lot of things to do today, and went to the group building as soon as dinner was over.

At this time, it was pitch black in the study.

Tang Xiaowan tiptoed open the door and entered.

Sure enough, she found what she was looking for on the desk, a little pig wood carving.

A few pictures were taken and then put back in their place.

After going out, she hummed a little song weakly, for fear that Li Zishen would suddenly come back at this time.

"Hey, stop!"

Tang Xiaojuan: "......"

"Sneaky, what are you doing?"

Tang Xiaowan turned around slowly and replied with a smile: "I want to see if your brother has come back." ”

"Oh, you're looking for him?"

"I want to go out on the weekend, so I'll come early and ......"

"Back to the Plum Garden?"

Tang Xiaojuan: "......"

Li Zihan smiled evilly, "I guessed right? ”

In fact, Tang Xiaowan just made an excuse for herself, but she didn't expect Li Zihan to be so smart, and directly thought of her plan in a few days.

"How do you know about Plum Garden? What did your brother say, what did he say? ”

Tang Xiaojuan's anxious and uneasy appearance made Li Zihan realize that he had said the wrong thing and forgot his brother Li Zishen's instructions.

I can't say a word about the plum garden.

The reason why Li Zishen told his younger brother was to let him understand that there was a mastermind behind the scenes, hiding in the shadows, and he didn't know when he would come out.

Tang Xiaojuan's safety is limited to Jincheng.

Since those masked people can avoid all surveillance and go straight to the study, it means that they know everything about the plum garden.

Therefore, Tang Xiaojuan can't easily return to the plum garden, it's too dangerous.

"Tell me! What else? ”

Seeing that Tang Xiaowan was a little anxious, Li Zihan hurriedly answered: "Oh, that's the case, I heard my brother say, you are from Qingcheng, and the place where you live is called Meiyuan, I don't know anything else, what's wrong?" ”

"Oh, it's fine."

This is something that everyone in the Li Garden knows, and there is really nothing to make a fuss about.

By the way, there is also that old man, Second Uncle Li!

It's too bad, with the help of the Internet fan!

However, since even he knows it, Li Zishen's mother must also know.

Thinking of this, Tang Xiaowan was slightly embarrassed.

"You're busy, I'll go downstairs first."

"Hi, wait for me."

Tang Xiaowan stopped, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly: "Please, you can see clearly, this is the fourth floor, I don't take the elevator, take the stairs." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, it's time to exercise."

"Oh, well, whatever you want!"

The two of them chatted and walked like this, and when they arrived at the staircase on the second floor, Tang Xiaowan suddenly remembered that he fainted last night.

Although I had an impression, it was all vague, so I raised my own questions.

Li Zihan did not hide it in the slightest.

From his brother Li Zishen carrying Tang Xiaowan back to the bedroom, to William Li's practical acupuncture treatment, to Chen's mother feeding her a spoonful of Chinese medicine and drinking half a bowl of traditional Chinese medicine.

The voice and color of the speech are like telling a story.
