490: Meeting, Tears

Just one update. I don't need to go to the hospital tomorrow, so I will at least resume updating twice a day.

Madam Ye, Shen Zian and Su Zhi were led by the maid to the backyard, the courtyard where the madam lived.

Su Zhi looked at the plaque hanging above the gate of the courtyard. On it were a few words written in elegant handwriting. They were the three words "Qingyou Garden". She could tell at a glance that they were written by a woman.

Mrs. Ye said softly, "This Qingyou Garden was the residence of my poor cousin. After she passed away, my aunt missed her so much that she insisted on living here."

Su Zhi nodded, thinking that the Marquis's wife was such a loving mother. But she would have done the same if she were in his shoes. She was a person who loved children. When she heard that this lady was such a loving mother, she had some liking for her and decided to cure this lady's eyes.

"Meow!"

As soon as Su Zhi walked into Qingyou Garden, she saw a tiger cat running towards her, barking non-stop, as if it had seen a fish. When Su Zhi heard the cat's cry, she thought it was the cat that suddenly appeared in Ju Garden that night. Later, the cat was taken away by a lady dressed in luxurious clothes. The lady was a little strange. Su Zhi also remembered that the maids and servants seemed to say that the lady had bad eyesight. Now think about it, that lady must be the wife of the Marquis, right?

"Meow! Meow!"

The tabby cat stood in front of Su Zhi, barking non-stop and jumping around in front of her. However, when it looked at Shen Zian, it seemed as if it didn't dare to pounce over. It just kept barking there. Its barking sounded a little miserable at first, but later it became as if it was acting coquettishly, as if it was trying to please her in a very pitiful way.

Su Zhi looked into the cat's eyes and found that the cat's eyes looking at her were not fierce at all. She thought that the cat liked her, so it pounced on her. She could understand it. She had a spiritual spring on her body, and animals liked to get close to her. Even a beast like the holy beast would be very close to her under the delicious spiritual spring, right?

"Ah Hua, don't shout at the guests, the Madam is looking for you!"

At this time, a neatly dressed and beautiful woman came out. She was obviously a maid. She spoke softly to the budgie that was still calling on the ground, as if she was talking to a person. She wanted to pick it up, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, Ah Hua jumped aside. She moved closer to Su Zhi and her voice became more flattering.

The maid bowed to several people at this time. She recognized Madam Ye. She told Madam Ye that she was inside and was resting after chanting sutras. She looked at Shen Zian and Su Zhi and wondered if these two were the adoptive parents of the eldest prince who was in the limelight now. I heard that they were a couple from the countryside, but it really didn't look like that.

She looked at them carefully again and felt that they looked familiar. Seeing Ah Hua still calling Su Zhi, she suddenly remembered that they were the couple she saw at the Juyuan Lantern Festival that night.

At that time, Ah Hua ran away, and the lady went to look for it. They all chased after it, and then they saw the lady holding Ah Hua. Ah Hua kept trying to run away from the lady's arms and throw herself on the woman, just like now.

The maid thought that they were the adoptive parents of the eldest prince. I heard that they were also the adoptive parents of the prime minister's son. They were really blessed, and the child they adopted was either the son of a high-ranking official or the emperor's son. No wonder Ah Hua was always throwing herself at them, maybe she wanted to get some of their blessings!

"Don't shout. I'll play with you later if I have time."

Su Zhi looked at the cat named Ah Hua and smiled softly. She thought this cat was really persistent towards her, and her heart softened when she heard it.

After hearing what Su Zhi said, Ah Hua really stopped screaming and followed Su Zhi, step by step. She was quite cute.

"Pearl, how is your aunt today?"

Mrs. Ye asked the maid as she walked.

Pearl said, "Madam's health is fine, but her eyes seem to be more unreal. She cried several times after the Chrysanthemum Garden Lantern Festival."

Zhenzhu's voice was very low. She was the lady's personal maid. She did not persuade the lady, which made her cry even more and her eyes became worse. She felt very guilty and worried that the marquis and the young marquis would blame her.

Mrs. Ye was also very sad when she heard this. Her aunt was her only relative from her mother's family in the capital. Although they didn't see each other often, her aunt took good care of her. She was also close to her aunt because her aunt had eyes very similar to hers and they had the same painful experience of losing their children. Now that she had found her son and recovered her health, she naturally hoped that her aunt could have the same luck as herself. Although her cousin couldn't come back to life, it would be a great joy if her aunt could recover.

"Sister-in-law, I really need your help this time!"

Mrs. Ye pleaded with Su Zhi again.

When Zhenzhu heard this, she felt strange and wondered why Madam Ye asked Madam Shen for help. Suddenly, she remembered something else. Madam Ye's son Xing'er injured the second prince, and the second prince's illness was cured. It was said that it was Prime Minister Ye who helped him. Could it be related to this couple? She thought she might have guessed wrong. This was just a country couple. No matter how good-looking and well-dressed they were, they would not be the kind of doctors who were more capable than the imperial physician, right?

By this time everyone had entered the house. Zhenzhu asked Mrs. Ye and the other two to sit down, and asked the maid to serve tea. Then she went to invite the lady.

Shen Zian and Su Zhi sat there, not interested in the tea served by the maid. Shen Zian was still silent. Su Zhi looked around the house and thought it was really elegant. She thought the daughter of a marquis who lived here must be a lady like a lady in a painting. It was a pity that a flower withered just after it bloomed.

When the lady was invited out, the Marquis and Mu Chengzhi also came.

When the Marquis saw Su Zhi, his eyes immediately widened. He thought this woman really looked like his daughter, but she was more generous and elegant than his daughter. His daughter would never look at a man so directly. Even when she saw a strange woman, she would be a little shy and her face would turn red as long as she stared at her closely. His daughter's eyes were not so clear and bright. They were like clear spring water, gentle and intelligent. In short, this woman looked like his daughter, but not like his daughter.

Mu Yongnian felt uncomfortable for a while, thinking that his daughter was already dead, so even if someone looked like her, it wouldn't be her.

Shen Zian was very unhappy with the way Mu Yongnian looked at his wife. He thought that this must be the Marquis. He really didn't know the rules. How could he stare at someone else's wife like that? He was still beside him. Did he think he was a fool? But later, when he saw a trace of sadness suddenly appear in Mu Yongnian's eyes, he understood a little. This man didn't have any bad thoughts when he looked at his wife. He was Mu Chengzhi's father. Mu Chengzhi looked at his wife with the same eyes. These father and son are really the same.

Shen Zian could feel Mu Yongnian's eyes fixed on Su Zhi. As the person involved, Su Zhi certainly felt it even more. She wondered what was going on. Why were the father and son looking at her with such sad eyes?

However, Shen Zian and Su Zhi did not have much time to think about why the father and son looked at Su Zhi in such a way, because the Marquis's wife also came out.

"Aunt, I'm here to see you."

After Madam Ye paid her respects to the father and son of the Mu family, she walked up to the Marquis' wife and took her from the maid's hands. Looking at her aunt's red eyes, she felt uncomfortable.

The Mu family father and son did not bother to exchange pleasantries with Shen Zian and the others. They walked over, one supporting his wife while the other bowed and greeted his mother.

Su Zhi looked at the wife of the marquis carefully, thinking that it was indeed the lady from that night. However, it was night that day, so she only saw a general face but did not notice her eyes. Now she was surprised. Madam Ye always said that their eyes were similar. She always thought that there were many similar eyes in the world, so it was not strange that their eyes looked alike. But now she saw the eyes of this lady, and she finally understood why Madam Ye said that.

There are many eyes in this world that are similar in appearance, and there are also many eyes that are similar in spirit, but there are not many eyes that are similar in both appearance and spirit, especially eyes like the Marquis's wife.

These eyes are really beautiful. Although the whites of the eyes are tinged with red, the eyeballs are dull and out of focus, and the eye circles are a little blue, these eyes are still beautiful. Su Zhi thinks these eyes really look like her own eyes.

Shen Zian supported Su Zhi, and the two of them bowed to the Marquis and his wife, then sat aside.

Madam Ye said to the lady, "Aunt, I have asked Madam Shen to come and check your eyes. Her medical skills are very advanced and her medicines can be called panaceas. If you let her check you, maybe your eyes will be cured."

The wife of the Marquis looked in the direction of Shen Zian and Su Zhi. Her eyesight had become worse these days. She could only see people close to her, but not those at arm's length. The farther away they were, the more it looked as if they were covered in a layer of white mist. Now Shen Zian and Su Zhi looked like two figures to her.

"What does it matter if my eyes are healed? My daughter can't come back. If my daughter can live, I am willing to be blind. I am willing to die."

"Mom! Don't say that. Both father and son are sad. My sister's spirit in heaven will be sad too."

As Mu Chengzhi spoke, he felt very sad. His sister was dead, and his mother was losing her sight and was going crazy from time to time. He felt that it was all his fault. If he had accompanied his sister out that year, nothing would have happened.

Mu Yongnian sighed and looked at his wife. The eyes of the serious man were full of pain. He wanted to protect his wife and daughter, but now one of them died and the other was sick, and he was powerless to do anything. This made him, a fearless man, feel sad.

Su Zhi looked at the sad family in front of her, and her heart suddenly felt a pain in her heart, her eyes were sore, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
