Chapter 792: Untying the Knot
Gu Huaiyu watched her tears fall, and he felt an indescribable pain in his heart. He patted her back with his hand, then hugged her and held her in his arms.
"Qingyu, this is not your fault." Gu Huaiyu said.
"How can it not be my fault? If I hadn't given that letter to my mother, she wouldn't..." Du Qingyu said.
Her master also said that it was not her fault, saying that although she looked carefree, her heart was actually trapped in a cage. He said that she was smart in everything, but she was stuck on this matter.
Over the years, she has traveled to many places and met many people, but she still can't forgive herself.
"Qingyu, can you tell me what kind of person your mother is?" Gu Huaiyu asked.
"My mother was a very gentle and strong person. She was very intelligent, well-read, and knew a lot. She loved me very much when I was little..." Du Qingyu talked about her childhood. She really wished her mother could be alive and watch Xiaobai grow up. Unfortunately...
When Du Qingyu talked about her mother, her eyes were full of light, but when she finished speaking, they quickly dimmed.
"Your mother is such a smart person, she actually knew about this a long time ago, and it's not because of your letter." Gu Huaiyu said.
Du Qingyu frowned. She felt that her mother knew, but had been deceiving herself. However, her letter laid the cruel truth bare before her, and her mother couldn't bear the shock...
"I feel that your mother actually didn't want to live a long time ago, but she has been holding on for you and Xiaobai. She is very tired of holding on." Gu Huaiyu said.
There was a hint of surprise in Du Qingyu's hazy eyes.
She had never thought that there was such a person as Gu Huaiyu.
"She was really too tired, but she loved you so much, why did she choose to commit suicide the day after you gave her the letter?" Gu Huaiyu said, feeling that something was wrong, or he had overlooked something.
"Did your mother leave anything for you?" Gu Huaiyu asked Du Qingyu.
"That night, my mother did give me something." Du Qingyu said, taking out the thing hanging around his neck.
It was a jade pendant, which Du Qingyu had protected very well, and there was not a single flaw on it.
Gu Huaiyu looked at the jade pendant, which still carried Du Qingyu's body temperature.
He now wants to help Du Qingyu resolve her emotional issues, and this jade pendant must be the key.
What does Qingyu's mother want to tell Qingyu through this jade pendant?
Gu Huaiyu stroked and observed the appearance of the jade pendant. A light bulb went off in his mind, and he suddenly felt that the structure of the jade pendant was somewhat familiar.
"Qingyu, this jade pendant is not one piece, but two sides are inlaid together." Gu Huaiyu said.
Du Qingyu was stunned for a moment. She was very fond of this jade pendant and always kept it on her body. She never thought that there was something hidden in this jade pendant.
Because she cherishes it, she is reluctant to do any harm to it.
"Qingyu, there might be something hidden in here. Do you want to open it?" Gu Huaiyu said, looking at Du Qingyu.
Generally speaking, this thing is a relic of the mother and is very precious, so people are reluctant to damage it in the slightest.
However, Du Qingyu is not an ordinary person.
She stared at the jade pendant infatuatedly, with a struggle in her eyes. After a long time, she slowly nodded.
What if the thing her mother wanted to give her was really hidden in this jade pendant?
Du Qingyu recalled the games she played with her mother when she was a child. Her mother would always hide things in various places and ask her to find them. The rewards would be hers if she found them.
Gu Huaiyu took the jade pendant, carefully distinguishing the inlaid parts, pinching the jade pendant with his slender fingers, and with a few movements, the jade pendant really split into two halves!
A small rolled-up piece of paper was sandwiched in the center of the jade pendant.
Gu Huaiyu held the small note between his fingers and handed it to Du Qingyu.
Du Qingyu held his breath, took the paper and opened it carefully.
When Du Qingyu looked at the words above, her eyes suddenly turned red. It was her mother's handwriting.
Du Qingyu felt very complicated, a little scared and a little curious. In this complicated mood, he read the words on it.
It was actually just as Gu Huaiyu said. In fact, her mother had long wanted to give up living.
Since Xiaobai was born, the symptoms have become even more severe, and she even couldn't help wanting to hurt Xiaobai...
Du Qingyu remembered that his mother was not very close to Xiaobai. It turned out that it was not because she did not love him, but because she was afraid of hurting him.
Her mother is trying hard to live for her and Xiaobai, but she is so tired of persisting.
Later, she couldn't hold on any longer and wanted to see Du Qingyu again.
In fact, the letter between her father and that woman had no effect on her mother at all.
Her mother chose that day because after seeing her, she could no longer hold on.
Du Qingyu held the letter close to her heart and couldn't help but shed tears.
Gu Huaiyu reached out and held her in his arms, and the front of his shirt was wet with her tears.
Gu Huaiyu felt as if his heart was also being burned by that temperature, and he felt very uncomfortable and distressed.
"My mother is sick." Du Qingyu said. She heard Tangtang say that this was a disease that needed treatment and medicine to get better.
"Why didn't I notice it? If only I could notice it..." Du Qingyu muttered.
"Qingyu, you have blamed yourself for more than ten years. Your mother doesn't want you to blame yourself. Besides, this matter was not your fault in the first place." Gu Huaiyu said.
Sometimes, the more cheerful a person is, the deeper the pain he or she hides in his or her heart.
The scar is deep and is buried deep in my heart.
It seems that we are very close to this world and to happiness, but in fact, it is not the case.
Du Qingyu is such a person.
This is also the reason why Gu Huaiyu always felt that she was like a gust of wind and could not be caught.
It's not because she's free and easy, coming and going like the wind...
"Did you see your mother's last words? She wanted you to be happy, my dear daughter." Gu Huaiyu said.
Du Qingyu glared at him fiercely: "You peeked at the letter my mother sent me!"
Gu Huaiyu did not feel guilty at all. She took the note from Du Qingyu's hand, rolled it up, hid it in the jade pendant, closed it, and then hung it around her neck.
"Your mother was playing hide-and-seek with you, how come you haven't found her in more than ten years? You are so stupid." Gu Huaiyu said.
Du Qingyu also has to admit that he is stupid.
Her mother must have thought she would be easy to spot.
I played with her so many times when she was a child.
However, she was so shocked that she treated the jade pendant strangely and did not think that it contained the words her mother had said to her.
She is so stupid.
She grasped the jade pendant, holding it tightly in her palm.
Even though I still feel guilty, the deep scar in my heart has faded a little.
"Gu Huaiyu, this secret is only known to my master and you, you have to keep it secret." Du Qingyu said.
It turns out he was the second one to know.
The other one is her master.
It seems that I am really special in Du Qingyu's eyes.
Everyone else saw her as carefree and heartless, but only he could see into her heart.
"Don't worry, I'm tight-lipped than your master." Gu Huaiyu said.
Du Qingyu was amused by him.
"It's getting dark. I'll take you back to Wu Mansion."
"Let's go back, or Xiaoli'er will worry about me."
