Chapter 373
After the people left, the room fell silent.

In addition to the strong medicinal smell, there is also a lingering light fragrance.Jiang Fosang turned his head to look, only to find that the incense burner was still burning.

It should be to dilute the smell of the medicine, but in this way, the smell will be mixed, the windows are closed, and there is no ventilation, which is not conducive to the patient's condition.

He got up and extinguished the burning incense in the incense burner, opened the window a crack, returned to the couch and sat down, staring at the woman who was haggard but could not hide her beauty in a trance.

This is her mother.

So strange, yet so familiar.

The strange reason is that in the past and present lives, I seem to have never looked at her carefully, let alone such a good-looking gaze.

Speaking of which, the last time I saw her was during the Dragon Boat Festival three years ago, and I took a look at her from a distance through the crowd.How long can that look last?Consciously or unintentionally, her voice and appearance are like those long-awaited letters, which have long since become blurred.

However, this kind of strangeness is like the ice layer in early winter, which can be pierced with a finger.What flows silently underneath is the natural familiarity in the blood, the fetters that cannot be broken even if they don't want to admit it.

This is the man who gave her life.

Because of her, I was able to come into this world—although I would rather she never gave birth to me when I was in the most painful and hopeless time, but sometimes I think about it, and I am grateful after all to taste the ups and downs of the world.

The rays of the sun are getting darker, and the sun is sinking a little bit.

Cai Cai stepped in and found that Liu Niangzi was leaning on the table, resting her chin with one hand, and fell asleep with her eyes closed.

Knowing that she has worn the moon and starred all the way, she must be extremely tired and sleepy.If she was still a child, she would have been hugged and coaxed to sleep, but now she can't.

"Liu Niangzi, Liu Niangzi..." Mrs. Cai woke her up in a low voice, "I don't know when the medicine will wear off, Madam may wake up at any time, if you wait like this, Madam will feel distressed, go down and rest for a while, huh? "

Jiang Fosang nodded when he heard the words, "Alright."

I was planning to recharge my energy and see my mother again, so I took a nap, went out of the house and let the wind blow again, but I didn't feel sleepy anymore.

Jiang Fosang proposed to take a bath.

Aunt Cai was in a hurry to ask someone to make arrangements, and she had to serve herself.

Jiang Fosang declined, leaving only Si Ni to serve her closely.Chun Rong was not suitable for such meticulous work, so he guarded the door with his sword in his arms, making the maids in the yard stunned.

Soaked in Lantang, the tiredness of the past few days seemed to be exhausted, and after taking a bath, the whole person became much lighter.

Si Ni helped her get dressed, and although she brought a change of clothes with her own, she finally chose the ones sent by Aunt Cai.

Danxia orange brocade clothes, narrow waist and wide sleeves, will sick people be happier seeing such a warm and bright color?After all, she chose it by herself, including the shirt she wore inside...

Except for the clothes and accessories, the desks, pillows and mattresses in the side room are all arranged according to her preferences, and I don't know where I got them from.

Thinking of his mother dragging her sick body to worry about these things, Jiang Fosang felt a little uncomfortable, and asked Aunt Cai why she didn't stop her.

Cai Cai was also very helpless when she mentioned it, "The [-]th gentleman came over at the beginning of August and talked about his trip to Xingping. Only then did Madam know that it was Seventh Lady who cultivated Qingxiu in Xingping. Sixth Lady, you married her to Beidi. Another encounter... Madam was so remorseful that she fell ill. On the sick bed, Lord Yangfu rescued you, and the Lord of Fu naturally agreed to everything. Not long after, Lord Seventeenth Lang went to Binzhou. It's a little bit better, but you still wash your face with tears at the back, and you are only a little energetic when you decorate your room, how can this old servant have the heart to stop you."

Jiang Fosang sat sideways on the side of the couch, stroking the soft brocade quilt over and over again.His eyes were suddenly attracted by the puppet inside.

The inside of the puppet is stuffed with silk, and it wears a small brocade garment. It has a round head with embroidered eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth, black silk thread as hair, and a bun.

Jiang Fosang held it in his hand, looked at it repeatedly, and vaguely felt that it was somewhat similar to a puppet he loved the most when he was a child.The doll was given to her by Liang Nai, who said she bought it in the city, she liked it very much, even sleeping with it...

Look at the one in his hand again, that's right, those squinting smiling eyes, those crooked lips...

Suddenly understood something.

Jiang Fosang stared at the puppet for a long time.

Seeing this, Aunt Cai screened all the maids away.

"Liu Niangzi, this old servant knows where your heart lies. You have been reluctant to see your wife for many years, and you have not even wanted to talk to her. If I leave you, I will blame her for marrying another, right?"

Seeing that she was silent for a long time, Mrs. Cai sighed and said earnestly, "Madam, she didn't mean to abandon you, there is really something hidden in it."

Jiang Fosang looked down at the puppet, still silent, but obviously listening.

"After the south crossing, the Jiang family moved to Jingling to settle down, while the Bai family settled in Lianyun County, Jiangzhou. When you were five years old, Mrs. Su of the Bai family, your maternal grandfather, had a sudden death. Illness, serious illness, your mother was very anxious when she found out, she wanted to take you back to visit, your grandfather was afraid of getting sick, and refused to agree, your mother went home by herself, and as a result—”

It turned out that Mrs. Su's illness was a fake, just to trick her daughter back and let her remarry.

The one who proposed the marriage was Pei Shouqian, the thirteenth son of the fourth house of the Pei family who also took root in Lianyun County.

"On the way to flee back then, the situation was very critical. The Jiang clan was scattered into several places. Your uncle took Seventh Lady, your aunt followed your grandfather, and I was separated from your mother. Your mother hugged I was holding you, and I wanted to take your elder brother with me. I didn’t dare to walk around, so I had to hide in a cave. Unexpectedly, I was discovered. Your mother was desperate, so she had to give you to your elder brother, so that you Brother hug you and hide away, she will lure those people away by herself..."

Even after many years, she brought it up again, and she still couldn't stop the tears, her eyes filled with fear.

"Thanks to meeting the Lord Fu, the Lord brought his servants to rescue your mother, otherwise... I really can't think about it."

The elder brother Cai Cai spoke of was born to his father's wife Yuan, and he was only seven years old at the time. Even though he escaped the catastrophe and was frightened all the way, he still didn't make it to Jingling alive.

Besides her elder brother, she actually has two concubine sisters, both born of her father's concubine Ji, but unfortunately, neither of them survived the turmoil.

In that kind of situation, Grandmother chose to lure away those bandits and rioters by herself, was she also determined to die?

It's hard to imagine how flustered and helpless she was.

She was also in her teens then.But as a mother, no matter how frightened she is, she can only keep her fear to herself, no matter how anxious she is, she can only use her delicate body to resist the scourge, because there is her daughter behind her.

Fortunately, fortunately...

For the first time, Jiang Fosang no longer minded the appearance of that man.

If it wasn't for him, maybe she wouldn't have a mother anymore.

"That's when he fell in love with my mother?" Jiang Fosang asked.
