Chapter 1415 is definitely something I like.
Listening to her two sons talk about their children, Song Chunxue quietly drank her tea. Occasionally, when asked a question by her fourth son, she would give a simple answer, but she didn't get teary-eyed easily.
Knowing Song Chunxue's thoughts, Sanwa arranged to have lunch at Lao Er's house to entertain his maternal uncle's relatives.
The fourth brother was most fond of social interactions and was good at entertaining people, so he took two jars of wine and had them carried to the second brother's house.
The second son's house was next to the former Xie residence. The third son mentioned at the door, "Lord Xie is here too, should we call him over?"
"Who?" The fourth prince raised his voice instantly, "Which Lord Xie?"
Sanwa was so annoyed by his reaction that he picked his ears. "Who else could it be but Lord Xie, the one who used to live in the next courtyard?"
"I knew it!" The fourth brother immediately lifted his clothes and ran down the steps. "Such a big thing, why didn't you say so sooner? I knew he had kept this courtyard all these years, and he would come back sooner or later."
"Although our mother has been gone for many years, his sudden return suggests that he has remembered her."
Sanwa glanced at Song Chunxue beside him and shook his head slightly, "I don't know, it's possible."
“Sigh, if our mother were still alive, I don’t know if we could rekindle our past relationship,” the fourth brother sighed. “I still think she’s definitely still here. She just didn’t want to be tied down by us children, so she found a reason to sever our ties.”
Song Chunxue thought to herself, "The fourth brother is quite clever; he still thinks like this after twenty years."
"Not necessarily. After all, she had the same personality as you outside, and she might offend people and be afraid to show her face in public," Sanwa said vaguely. "But her ashes were sent over back then."
After being glanced at by Sanwa, Song Chunxue looked up at the sparrows flying overhead and thought that they were sifted wood ash.
"Even ashes can be faked. Besides, I just don't understand. Cremation isn't common here. Her fellow disciples and masters can carry people in the air. There's no need to burn people to ashes to reduce the burden. This must be a smokescreen..."
As he said this, the fourth brother sighed again, "It's just self-deception. Every year I think that maybe one day she will appear on the wall of our house, just like the magpie that gets up early. It's just a pity that I haven't even seen a ghost."
Song Chunxue thought to herself that she had actually been there, but she had simply disappeared.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
"Lord Xie, Lord Xie..." The fourth son knocked on the door a few times. "Hey, it really is Lord Xie! My goodness, after all these years, how come your hair is so white?"
Sanwa scolded him, "You already have gray hair, but other people aren't allowed to have it?"
The fourth brother laughed carefree, gripping Xie Zheng's arm with both hands. He was overwhelmed with emotion, and all his unspoken words were transformed into a complex smile.
"It's so good to see you, Lord Xie. My mother was not blessed; she never got to see you."
"..."
"..."
Song Chunxue looked away from the second son's house; the fourth son was still the same embarrassing figure.
"Lord Xie, we have a deep friendship. Why didn't you come to visit us at home, even just to see the son of an old friend... No, you don't mean you didn't want to come, do you?"
Xie Zheng said helplessly, "How could that be? I just came to this courtyard to take a look and change my clothes and wash up."
Song Chunxue realized that she hadn't washed up yet and her hair wasn't even styled properly.
Xie Zheng was neatly dressed, and the white hair peeking out from his temples was combed meticulously, still as thick as ever.
She hadn't asked why his hair had suddenly turned so completely white.
“My relatives have come to visit, and my two brothers and I wanted to entertain you all together. However, my third brother said that you all have things to do and must leave tomorrow, so we hope you won’t mind.” The fourth brother’s eyes kept looking at Lord Xie. “If my mother saw that your hair had turned white, she would definitely like you because you look even more like a sage.”
"..." This child is really something. He's almost a grandfather, why is he always thinking about these useless things!
It's as if she's some kind of lecher!
