The Li Mansion many years ago.
Gu Xueqin carried breakfast and walked into the backyard in the sunshine. The only sound around her was her footsteps.
She walked to the guest room, but did not go in immediately. Instead, she stuck her head into the room and saw the only surviving little girl in the Ying family compound, curled up on the bed.
"Xiao Bing'er hasn't woken up yet?"
"Madam, this girl didn't sleep all night. I went in to persuade her to rest, but she just stared at me without saying a word. It was so scary." The maid said with lingering fear.
"That means I went to bed in the morning..."
"Madam, there are so many people in the Ying family compound...but she is not dead, and her body is still so cold. Do you think she is possessed by some ominous thing, so..."
The maid lowered her head before she finished speaking, because she noticed that the usually easy-going mistress's eyes were gradually becoming stern.
"I don't want to hear similar words at home again."
After sending the maid away, Gu Xueqin went in to check on Xiao Yingbing's health. She was relieved to find that she was sick.
Just as I stood up and was about to leave, I felt a cold touch on my hand.
She found that the owner of the little hand had a pale face and his lips were tightly pursed. Although he was cold, sweat was dripping down his furrowed brows.
"Mom, don't abandon me..."
"I'm here, go to sleep."
Later, Ying Bing could often catch a warm hand in his dreams.
Time flies.
That pitiful little face gradually grew up in his eyes. The fear and worry were gone in his eyes. The slightly confused look was bright and moving in the sunlight.
Gu Xueqin was distracted for a moment.
The poor little girl has grown into a graceful young lady and is about to get married.
"Did you sleep well last night?"
"Well, what brings you here?"
"I'm here to deliver some things and then take you to the house in Ziyang Mansion."
Gu Xueqin sat down on the edge of the bed, gathered the scattered hair around Ying Bing's ears, and then opened the bags.
"Go to Ziyang Mansion's house?"
Ying Bing tilted his head.
"Let that brat come to your parents' house to pick you up. How can he not come to our house to get engaged? No one would marry someone by delivering themselves to your doorstep. People would laugh at them." Mrs. Gu said seriously.
Ying Bing lowered her eyes: "But I don't have any family..."
Gu Xueqin pulled her hand out and snorted, "Whoever dares to say that my little Bing'er is a girl without a mother, I will be the first to disagree, Lao Li, don't you think so?"
“Yes, yes, yes.” Comrade Lao Li has always cared about his reputation, but now he is like his wife’s lackey.
Ying Bing was stunned. The touch of Gu Xueqin's hand was so familiar to her.
She didn't know where this sense of familiarity came from before, but when she heard that word just now, this familiarity suddenly became real.
"Mother..."
A soft and hazy voice fell, and in the boudoir, one could hear a pin drop.
There were clearly four people in the room, but I couldn't even hear their breathing.
Gu Xueqin looked a little incredulous and opened her mouth: "Xiao Bing'er, what did you call me just now?"
Ying Bing raised her head this time and looked at Gu Xueqin seriously for a long time before she repeated in a low voice: "Mother."
"Okay, okay, my dear daughter, I will comb your hair for you."
Gu Xueqin was so happy that she tried several times to grab the comb excitedly.
Comrade Lao Li was at a loss. He stood up and sat down again, muttering to himself that he should invite all his colleagues over and not leave until he was drunk. Although he knew that this was just an engagement party, he really could not hold back.
He had been asked this question many times before when attending wedding banquets at colleagues' homes and full-month banquets for grandchildren.
"When will your family have more people?"
"How are the two little ones doing recently? I thought they were the first to drink at your old Li's wedding."
Whenever he heard similar questions, what could Lao Li do? He could only drink a sip of wine and smile without saying anything.
It gives people a feeling that everything is under control, but it is not the time to notify everyone yet.
“….”
Shang Qinqing looked unexpectedly calm.
She walked out of the room without saying a word, as if nothing had happened.
"Hey? Qin Qing, why did you come down?"
Qin Yuzhi was pulled to the corner of Qiu Shui Pavilion with a confused look on her face.
"Ha..." Shang Qinqing fell to the ground, holding his heart. Then he gasped violently, as if he had asthma, and kept taking deep breaths.
"What's wrong? Tell me now."
"Huh...Huh, wait for me."
Shang Qinqing found that no one was paying attention here, so she rolled back and forth on the ground.
"Don't scare me, what happened?"
"Xiao Bing'er called Madam Gu mother."
"hiss....."
Qin Yuzhi leaned back slightly, as if struck by lightning.
then.....
The figure rolling on the ground changed from one to two.
“.....What happened to them?” Shang Li asked, looking up.
Shang Wu yawned: "They are sick, what's it called... Oh, high blood sugar, eat less sugar, otherwise you will be like this in the future."
"I understand, sister." Shang Li nodded fearfully.
Li Mo searched for Shang Qinqing for a long time and finally saw her beside the banyan tree. Before he got close, he heard her whispering with Qin Yuzhi.
"Mrs. Gu was so moved when she heard Xiao Bing'er call her mother."
"Damn it, why wasn't I there at that time?"
Li Mo: “!”
Bingtuozi changed his name to "mother"?
Student Li crossed his arms and looked serious. Since he had changed his words to his mother, he should also change his words to him in the future. He could no longer call him a childish ghost, but had to call him...
