The gentleman is knocking on the door

Chapter 249 I Will Be Your Son Forever

253
Li's mother entered the small Buddha hall with a smile on her face: "Madam, the young master and grandma are asking to see you."

Zhu's movement of turning the beads paused slightly, and then turned again.

"Let them go back." Zhu Shi said lightly.

"Madam, the young master and grandma came to see you as soon as they got home, why don't you see them?" Li Ma advised.

Zhu opened her eyes and looked at Li Ma in pain: "Li Ma, why do you always force me?"

She knew that Mama Li didn't want her to keep her closed all the time, but seeing him made her feel uncomfortable. No matter how filial he was to her, that wasn't her son. Her son had already been burned to death!
"Madam, do you want to stay in this small Buddhist hall for the rest of your life?" Mama Li said angrily, "Madam, do you know? The new concubine of the master has been pregnant for more than a month. What can Tian do?" Very soon, there is a master doting on her, if she really gave birth to a young master, she still doesn't know how to make trouble, do you really want to see this family become a mess?"

"Mother Li, my Xiao'er is dead. Whether this family is in chaos or not, it has nothing to do with whoever owns it."

Zhu's heart was ashamed, and from the moment her son died, her heart also died.

"Ma'am, everything in Lou's mansion belongs to Xiao'er. Although he is dead, doesn't he still have the young master? You have the responsibility to help Xiao'er and help the young master guard everything. If you continue to escape like this, Xiao I will die soon!" Li Ma said in a deep voice.

Zhu's pupils shrank, and the Buddhist beads in his hand fell to the ground.

"Xiao'er~~" Zhu Shi looked somewhere through the wooden door of the Small Buddha Hall, and tears instantly blurred his eyes.

"Ma'am, you understand in your heart that even if the master hadn't replaced the young master with Xiao'er back then, Xiao'er would not have survived." Mama Li told the truth again and forced Zhu Shi to face it.

After all, Mama Li still couldn't bear to see Zhu's pain, and tried to persuade: "Madam, why don't you think about it from another angle, Xiao'er lost his life for the young master, so why is the young master not the continuation of Xiao'er's life?"

Thinking of what happened back then, Zhu covered her face in pain and began to cry: "But my Xiao'er died so badly...he died so badly"

Back then she witnessed the raging fire in Tianshan Fort, and her son was burned to death!
Hearing Zhu Shi's words, Lou Chenxiao opened the door and walked in.

Zhu Shi let go of her hands and stared blankly at the young man who came from outside the door, her expression dazed for a while.

"mother!"

Lou Chenxiao walked up to Zhu Shi and called softly, knelt down, looked up at her slightly, his eyes were firmer and warmer.

This mother's voice made Zhu's body tremble, and tears fell like broken beads.

Her son... this is her son...

She raised her hand tremblingly, but pulled it back when she was an inch away from his face.

"No, you are not my son! You are not...my Xiao'er is dead...dead..." Zhu Shi cried.

Lou Chenxiao forcibly grabbed Zhu's hand and put it on his face, and said firmly: "Mother, I am your son! I have been in this life!"

Li Ma wiped the corners of her eyes and said with a smile: "Ma'am, did you hear that? The young master is Xiao'er, and Xiao'er is the young master!"

Zhu Shi forgot to fight back, and stared at the young man in front of him bewilderedly.

No, she knew he wasn't...how could he be her son...

Time stood still, and the sadness in Zhu's eyes never faded away.

After an unknown amount of time, a deep sigh overflowed from Zhu's mouth.

Zhu Shi closed her eyes, then opened them: "Get up."

"mother……"

"Get up first."

"Eldest young master, Madam asked you to get up!" Li Ma gave him a wink and helped him up.

Mama Li knew that Zhu Shi had loosened up.

Mrs. Zhu was brought up by Mama Li. She knows how tough Zhu's temperament is. It is impossible for her to let go of the grievances of more than ten years just because she is trilingual and bilingual. Yes, it's up to the young master and grandma to see if she can get out of the shadow of the past.

After Zhu's mood stabilized a bit, Lou Chenxiao said: "Mother, Cong'er said she has something to ask you, and she is outside the small Buddhist hall."

Before Mrs. Zhu could speak, Mama Li had called warm water to wash Mrs. Zhu's face.

After washing his face, Zhu Shi said: "Let Mi Shi come in, you go back first."

Lou Chenxiao glanced at Li Ma, who nodded to him.

Lou Chenxiao walked out of the small Buddhist hall, and said to Mi Congcong: "Mother let you in."

"Okay, then you go back to the yard and wait for me."

Mi Congcong rolled his phoenix eyes and was about to go in, but he grabbed his wrist.

She looked back, met the worry in his eyes, couldn't help but smiled and said: "Don't worry, your mother doesn't eat people, go back and wait for me."

After finishing speaking, he took the food box from Xiuzhu's hand and entered the small Buddhist hall.

"Mom, we're not at home for a while, how are you?" Mi Congcong smiled at Yan Yan, and handed the food box in his hand to Li Ma.

"Hmm." Zhu's attitude was as cold as ever, and she didn't ignore that Mi Congcong's address to her had changed from "mother" to "mother".

In order to ease the atmosphere, Li's mother joked with a smile: "Grandma, what is in this food box? Is it for the old man or for the wife?"

"Inside are some vegetarian dishes I made for my mother. Madam Li, Chef Wu has saved your portion. You can go to the kitchen to get it later." Mi Congcong said with a smile.

"Oh, grandma really cooked for this old man. It's so frustrating!" Mama Li put the food box on the incense table next to Zhu's with a look of trepidation, and opened the lid with a smile: "Look, old man!" See what delicious food Grandma has cooked for Madam?"

From the corner of Zhu's eyes, Zhu glanced over unconsciously, and when he saw the stewed fish on the top shelf of the food box, his face suddenly sank: "Mishi, this is Lifotang!"

Li Ma looked into the food box and her face changed.

No one in the whole house does not know that the wife has been the same for more than ten years, so it is impossible for the grandma not to know?Why did you still send meat dishes to Madam? Isn't this intended to make Madam unhappy?

"Mom?" Mi Congcong looked at Zhu Shi innocently.

Suddenly, Mama Li thought of what Mi Congcong said just now. She clearly said that this was a vegetarian dish made by her. She changed her mind and asked before Mrs. Zhu chased her away: "Grandma, madam doesn't eat meat dishes, don't you know? "

"Mama Li, there are no meat dishes in it!" Mi Congcong said in surprise, "There is only a vegetarian fish, a fungus, fried shredded bamboo shoots, a green vegetable, and a few vegetarian buns."

"Vegetarian fish?" Li Ma was taken aback and looked towards the food box.

She had heard of Wuqing Kingdom's various vegetarian dishes, as well as vegetarian dishes such as vegetarian chicken and duck, but this was the first time she had seen it today, and she almost thought it was a real fish, and Madam must have misunderstood it.

"Yes, this vegetarian fish is made of several ingredients such as flour, tofu, and green beans, all of which are vegetarian." Mi Congcong said, looking at Zhu's expectantly: "Mother, try it while it's hot." , see how it tastes, if it is not done well, I will improve it next time."
