Old house.
The old house of the Mu family was not like the one where Mu Jingsheng lived, but a yard located in the suburbs.
Old Mrs. Mu, who was sitting at the table, looked like an old person who had lost her life. She held the dragon-headed cane in her arms and sat in a daze beside the Eight Immortals Table in a daze.
After the phone call with Mu Jingsheng, she became like this.
It was New Year's Eve, a time for family happiness, but she was the only one in the huge house, making it very cold and lonely.
There was nothing but the lights.
"Ta," a slight sound came from beside her. Aunt Li walked into the hall with a bowl of dumplings, sat opposite her and started to eat voraciously.
Mrs. Mu swallowed.
Today, she only had a bowl of porridge at noon, which was what Aunt Li had left over in the morning.
After being driven out to the old house, Aunt Li didn't care about her as she expected. Knowing that Ye Yun and Mu Jingsheng were tired of her, Aunt Li neglected her intentionally or unintentionally.
No, it's not neglect anymore.
On New Year's Eve, not only could she not eat dumplings, but she also had to watch Aunt Li eat dumplings in front of her.
This is going too far.
Old Madam Mu knew what Aunt Li meant. She took a deep breath, raised her hand and patted the table, and said, "Aunt Li, my son did abandon me here, but I didn't ask you to kill me. Aren't you afraid that I will complain?"
Aunt Li raised her head in confusion when she heard this.
She was wearing a hat that covered a bald spot on her head, but it couldn't hide the scar on her face. When she raised her head, the wound on her face that had not yet fully healed scared the old lady again.
The wound had not healed yet, and it looked even uglier in the cold weather.
Old Madam Mu looked away unnaturally, saying with disgust: "Don't look at me, I'm hungry, go get me a bowl of dumplings."
"dumpling?"
Aunt Li just laughed.
The old lady looked unhappy and angrily asked, "Is this the way you talk to me?"
"Are you dreaming, old lady?" Aunt Li was not a pushover. She put the bowl down in front of her and gritted her teeth and said, "Do you still think you are an old lady? I call you old lady to give you face. If I didn't need to live, I would kill you right now!"
Old Mrs. Mu felt a chill in her heart.
Looking at the ugly Aunt Li in front of her, she saw the murderous intent in Aunt Li's eyes, which made her terrified.
Only then did she realize that the person who had been fawning on her was a wolf.
Of course, she was not someone to be trifled with. She took a deep breath and said calmly, "Yes, you want to live, but you should also know that I am still an old lady. Even if I did something wrong, Jingsheng is still my son. He just wants to punish me. But you are still an outsider. If you go too far and I file a complaint, do you think my son will let you go?"
"That's enough, don't you just want to eat dumplings?"
Click.
Aunt Li put the dumplings in the bowl on the table, pointed at the dumplings lying on the table, and said, "Eat, these are all, there are no more. If you want to eat, humble yourself and pick them up with your hands!"
After saying that, she deliberately provoked: "Old lady, it's so dirty, do you dare?"
Old Mrs. Mu’s face turned blue with anger.
She has lived a life of luxury all her life, how could she pick up dumplings from the table and eat them?
Aunt Li is killing people and destroying their hearts.
But after being hungry for a whole day, she couldn't control herself when she smelled the aroma of the dumplings. She kept glancing at the dumplings lying on the table.
No, even if she starved to death, she would never pick up dumplings to eat without dignity.
This is her dignity.
"Tsk." Aunt Li waited for a long time but the old lady didn't reach out her hand, so she picked up the chopsticks and pushed all the dumplings back into the bowl.
There was a dumpling on the table. She picked it up and stuffed it into her mouth. While chewing, she said with relish, "It smells so good!"
"Look, old lady, you are so hungry, but you don't even want to eat the dumplings on the table. How could the gentleman not know that you are so stubborn?"
“Also, times have changed.”
"Do you think your son is the head of your family? You are wrong. The real head of your family now is that little girl from Huaicheng, your good granddaughter!"
"Your son may feel sorry for you, but your granddaughter may not!"
Aunt Li ate the last dumpling in front of the old lady, stood up and pushed the bowl towards the old lady.
"You have nothing to do, right? Go wash the dishes, or I'll come back home in the evening and see the dishes are still dirty, and I'll punish you!"
Hearing this, the old lady shuddered.
In the past few days, Aunt Li had been secretly behaving towards her many times, always in some obscure places.
The most cruel thing was to prick her with a needle in some places that were not easy to find. The wound was small and healed quickly, but the worst thing was that it was extremely painful, so painful that she couldn't sleep at night.
These were clearly the methods she had taught Aunt Li to deal with Ye Xia.
But now, all these methods have been used on her without exception.
The old lady looked at the empty bowl on the table in silence for a long time, then looked up at the ceiling and shed tears of regret.
She was wrong.
If she were given another chance, she thought, she would not end up like this again.
…
After the Chinese New Year, the ice and snow melted, and Lin'an City returned to its former prosperity and bustle.
On the seventh day, Ye Yun came out of confinement.
But Qin Zheng said that she did not rest well during the confinement period, so he asked her to sit for a few more days and forced her to lie in bed for a few more days.
The small seventh day is getting bigger and bigger.
Unlike before when he only knew how to eat and sleep, now Chuqi will occasionally play by himself with his eyes open.
When Qin Zheng teased her, she would respond with a soft voice.
And can laugh.
When Xiao Chuqi smiled at Qin Zheng for the first time, Qin Zheng was so excited that he held Xiao Chuqi and walked around the room several times, which made Ye Yun frightened.
On the twelfth day, Ye Yun finally couldn't bear it anymore.
"If I stay here any longer, I'm going to die in bed. I have to go out and walk around."
"Walk around?"
When Qin Zheng heard this, he frowned in disapproval.
Out of consideration for Ye Yun's health, he was still reluctant to let Ye Yun go out in the cold, even though the weather was gradually getting warmer and some people had even taken off their heavy cotton clothes and put on light spring clothes.
However, the weather was not good.
There was a call from Qin Xiang'e.
