Chapter 12: Inseparable (11)
"Wanwan, you go back to the house first. I think...... Go back and see my mother. Ji Xianzhi smoothed her hair, and when she mentioned Mrs. Ji again, her eyes had softened a lot, and she was no longer covered with frost like before.
"Uh-huh, okay. The fish chick nodded like a peck of rice.
Thanks to her efforts, the relationship between the true son of heaven and the future mother-in-law finally has room for tossing and turning.
"Wanwan, I really like you more and more. He chuckled, rubbed her head lovingly, and then dropped a kiss on her forehead and turned away.
As the saying goes, once raw and twice cooked, Yu Wanwan is no longer as surprised as before, but I have to admit that she did miss a few beats in her heartbeat.
It's not just you, it's me. Yu Wanwan took a deep breath and said in her heart.
She looked at the direction Ji Xianzhi left, and she didn't walk back until his back became more and more blurred and slowly faded out of her sight.
......
"Lan'er, you say, was Xianzhi apologizing to me just now? Has he already untied the knot?" Mrs. Ji held her chin in one hand and fiddled with the jade bracelet in her hand with the other, and asked a woman dressed as a maid beside her.
Although she is dressed as a maid, the fabrics of her clothes are excellent, and there are some beaded hairpin decorations on her head, which shows that her status is still quite good.
"Madam, you heard me right, that's what the young master said. The young master's eyes at that time seemed to be a little distressed for you. Lan'er replied.
She wasn't wrong, the young master really cared about Mrs. Ji.
"Really? That's good. I am not a competent mother. Mrs. Ji smiled bitterly, "Everyone else says that I am a wise outsider, and I take care of the huge Ji Mansion in an orderly manner, and I am the old man's virtuous helper." But who knows how much I've paid for it. ”
She looked out the window, it was already late autumn, and winter was about to begin, and the plum trees outside were gradually spitting out their branches.
"Good wife, good mother, good wife and good mother, after all, I only achieved the first half, but I couldn't achieve the second half. When I was so young, I was busy running the family business all day, ignoring his feelings, and when I realized it, he was already close to me. ”
Mrs. Ji retracted her gaze, and her tone couldn't help but be a little lost.
"I still remember that in the past, I always waited at the door for the old man to come back. But every time I waited, I waited and waited, from finishing my homework until the evening. From spring to winter, the housekeeper could not persuade him. At that time, he was still so small, a small lump, just guarding the door alone......" Mrs. Ji said and gestured, and her voice was a little uncontrollable choked.
"Madam, it's not your fault, young master, he was still young at the time, and his mind was not yet mature, he will slowly understand you. Lan'er was relieved, turned around and wanted to get the teapot on the table, wanting to add some tea for Mrs. Ji, but saw her waving her hand to signal that she didn't need to.
"It's because my mind is not yet mature that I need companionship and guidance more, and I crave family affection more......" Mrs. Ji tightened sadly, and her voice was still choked.
"Madame......" Lan'er didn't know how to persuade her, so she could only step forward and pat her back comfortingly.
"It's nothing, it's just a little emotional. Mrs. Ji reached out and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, so that no tears flowed out.
"Fortunately, Xianzhi is not here now, otherwise he would definitely dislike me when he sees me like this. Mrs. Ji was so bitter that she made fun of herself.
"Yes, yes, Madame. But Lan'er believes that the young master will never dislike you. Lan'er saw that Mrs. Ji's mood seemed to be improving, and she cooperated. I also felt bitter for Mrs. Ji in my heart.
Madame has also tried to make amends in the past years, and she has seen all those things, so she understands them. Madame actually loves the young master.
Although this love came a little late, it seems that it is still in time.
"Hey, after all, he actually still blames me in his heart. Mrs. Ji sighed, she had too many irreparable things for this son.
Ji Xianzhi was stunned outside the door for a long time, and the hand that wanted to push the door open did not move.
From the time Mrs. Ji first started to speak, he had already arrived at the door, and at first he was only hesitant to go in, but then when he heard her words, his body trembled slightly.
It turned out that the mother cared.
It turned out that he was not forgotten.
Ji Xian had mixed feelings for a while, and it seemed that a warm current poured into his heart, melting his heart that had been frozen for many years and had no family affection.
When he came to his senses, he pushed open the door and met Mrs. Ji's stunned gaze.
"Envy, when did you come? Why don't you let people say, hurry, sit down. She scrambled to her feet, and she could even tell that she was a little excited.
"Me too...... Just arrived. Ji Xianzhi did not sit down in a hurry, but stood at the door.
For the first time in so many years, he looked at his mother seriously.
The flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year.
The years urge people to grow old, Mrs. Ji was eighteen when she married Master Ji, and gave birth to Ji Xianzhi at the age of twenty-one, and now she is in her forties, nearly middle-aged. Mrs. Ji is very well maintained, but the corners of her eyes are already wrinkled, and her whole spirit does not seem to be as energetic as before.
"......" Ji Xianzhi suddenly felt a little dry in his throat, swallowed his saliva, took a deep breath and walked in front of Mrs. Ji, and hugged her tightly in his arms.
Mrs. Ji is not tall, she belongs to a very petite type, and when he hugged her like this, Ji Xianzhi found that she was so thin and her body bones were so thin.
“...... Mother, I was wrong in the past, I was wrong. Ji Xianzhi's voice was a little choked, and he hugged her tighter.
Actually, he didn't mind a long time ago.
It's just that he can't get along with himself, he has always thought that he can't get over that hurdle, and he has always been unwilling to try to accept it.
Because he was afraid of losing, he refused all overtures.
Mrs. Ji was stunned for a long time, and the corners of her eyes gradually moistened.
Her dangling hand slowly hugged him and patted him on the back.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's good if you can forgive your mother, that's good......"
Where will there be an overnight feud with your parents?
In fact, some things, as long as they are clearly stated, those things that were sad or regretful in the past can actually be forgiven.
After hugging her for a while, Ji Xianzhi let go of Mrs. Ji and wiped away her tears with her hand.
Mrs. Ji knew that she was out of shape, but she didn't care anymore.
"If there is no Wanwan, I'm afraid it will take a long time for this knot between my mother and you to be untied. Mrs. Ji didn't know the reason, she only knew that it was because Yu Wanwan came to talk to her that she attracted Li Xianzhi over.
"yes...... Thanks to Wanwan. As if thinking of something, the corners of Ji Xianzhi's mouth rose slightly.
If it weren't for her, I'm afraid I wouldn't have taken the initiative to find Mrs. Ji, and this knot in my heart might not be so easy to untie.
Wanwan is really his lucky star.
"Speaking of which, what is the relationship between you and Miss Wanwan now?" Mrs. Ji saw the corners of her son's mouth rise, and she had already guessed in her heart.
