Chapter 156 The destined red thread is not her
Yun Qingqing looked at Chen Yuan and sighed:
"She asked me to seal all your memories of her and completely forget her, so that she wouldn't burden you and make you unwilling to marry and have children. She was especially worried that you would become sick with worry and commit suicide."
Chen Yuan looked at Qi Xiu in shock, his face full of rejection:
"How could you be so cruel! You want to erase every bit of our acquaintance? Wouldn't it hurt you to do this? I don't want it! I will never forget you, even if I die!"
Qi Xiu looked sad:
"But look at you now, what have you become! Do you know how heartbroken I am, living in this hairpin, watching you become increasingly haggard and miserable?"
"I'm afraid that one day you'll lose your mind and do something stupid. If that happens, I won't be able to rest in peace even if I go to hell!"
Chen Yuan's expression was moved, and a hint of madness flashed in his eyes:
"Xiu Xiu, I know you care about me so much because you love me too much, right? Then you should understand me even more! Since you can't let me go, then wait for me, okay? As long as I go with you, we can still be together in the next life..."
"Ayuan! Don't be like this..." Qi Xiu was not happy at all, but became more sad and helpless.
Bang!!!
A slap hit Chen Yuan's face hard, and he covered his face in shock.
"Mother..."
It was Liu Cui who took action.
She lost her husband early in life and raised her child alone, never daring to touch Chen Yuan.
But at this moment, she slapped Chen Yuan in the face again and said angrily:
"I worked so hard to raise you, but how could I have raised a clueless coward like you!"
"Mom...what did you say?" Chen Yuan said blankly.
He is not afraid of death, how can his mother call him a coward!
Liu Cui pointed at his nose and said angrily:
"Isn't it? Are you willing to die for Xiuxiu? Not at all! When you were almost drowning, she desperately tried to wake you up, and even wanted you to forget her so that she could live well, but what are you doing!"
"You ignored her wishes and went after her wholeheartedly. Isn't it because you couldn't bear the blow of losing her? If that's not cowardice, what is it?"
"When you make these decisions based solely on your own mood, have you ever considered Xiuxiu's feelings? You are not only cowardly, but also selfish!"
"You are the only son of your father who died long ago. Are you worthy of the ancestors of the Chen family if you want to die because of your momentary emotional pain?"
"Do you think I wasn't sad when your father passed away, and that I hadn't thought about following him? If I had known you would grow up to be so selfish and irresponsible, I should have been determined to cross the Naihe Bridge with your father and be his wife in the next life, leaving you an orphan to fend for yourself!"
"Mom!" Chen Yuan suddenly came to his senses, feeling ashamed, and knelt down at Liu Cui's feet.
"Mother, I was just confused and lost my mind for a moment. I know I was wrong!"
Liu Cui let out a long sigh and wiped away her tears:
"Mother knows that you value love and friendship, which is why you can't bear to leave Xiuxiu. But you also need to understand that in this world, besides the love of children, there are also family ties and responsibilities to shoulder."
"I raised you single-handedly, but I never said I did it for you. It was all my own will. Watching you grow up safely and happily is my wish."
"I've never asked you for anything since you were a child. Today is the first time I'm asking you to do something. Please don't do anything stupid and don't leave me alone, okay?"
Chen Yuan lowered his head:
"I am too selfish. I will listen to you and live well. Don't be sad, mother."
Liu Cui finally felt relieved and helped him up with a look of relief.
Chen Yuan looked at Qi Xiu with a sad look. When he was about to speak, he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
"Yuan'er!"
"Ayuan!"
Liu Cui and Qi Xiu both changed color and screamed in surprise.
Yun Qingqing frowned slightly, quickly stepped forward and pointed at two of his acupoints, saying:
"He's deeply in love, and he's feeling really bad. Let's send him back to his room first."
A group of servants hurriedly moved Chen Yuan back to the room and put him on the bed.
Yun Qingqing burned a talisman and dissolved it in water, then had someone give it to Chen Yuan to take, and wrote a prescription.
"Take this medicine for seven days. Afterwards, make sure he relaxes more. His life won't be in danger for the time being. However..."
She sighed softly:
"Whether this knot can be untied, and whether he is willing to untie it, depends on his own choice."
Qi Xiu had been floating behind her without saying a word, and now he said anxiously:
"My benefactor, if you can just let him forget me, his heart knot will heal on its own without any medicine. Please do it!"
"He's in this state now. Even if he holds on for the sake of my aunt and the family, I don't know how long he can hold on. If the knot in his heart can't be untied, he will eventually become ill..."
Yun Qingqing's eyes were cold and clear:
"Even though you hope he forgets you for his own good, ultimately, whether or not to keep these memories should be his own choice, not decided by others."
"You want me to erase his most cherished memories regardless of his wishes. What's the fundamental difference between this and him insisting on dying regardless of your feelings?"
"This..." Qi Xiu was speechless.
"Thank you, Master..."
Chen Yuan, who was lying on the bed, suddenly spoke in a hoarse voice and slowly opened his eyes.
"You're right. This is my own decision. I will never forget Xiuxiu."
"Ayuan!" Qi Xiu rushed to the bedside and looked at him eagerly, "But I can't bear to see you suffer like this. Even if I go to hell, I won't be at peace..."
Chen Yuan reached out and stroked her face, revealing a weak smile:
"It's okay, Xiuxiu. You're so good and kind. You'll definitely be born into a good family in your next life. When you drink Mengpo soup, you'll forget all your past and won't be sad anymore. That'll be all."
"Although I will still be sad and in pain for a while, I will get better over time. You don't have to worry."
"I still have the responsibility of the Chen family on my shoulders, and I have to be filial to my mother. I won't let it get to me anymore... If one day I really can't hold on any longer, I will definitely go to the master and ask her to erase these memories. Will you finally be relieved then?"
When he finished speaking, he looked at Yun Qingqing inquiringly.
Yun Qingqing nodded:
"If one day you make your own decision, you can come to Tianming Pavilion on East Street to find me."
"Okay..." Qi Xiu finally felt relieved, and at the same time his body gradually became more and more illusory.
"Ayuan, I have to go." She looked at Chen Yuan reluctantly, and her figure gradually disappeared.
"Ayuan, there's actually one thing I can't let go of..."
"Don't worry, I will take good care of your parents." Chen Yuan said softly.
"Thank you... Ayuan, I hope you live a long and healthy life..."
Chen Yuan nodded and watched her disappear in front of his eyes quietly until the last trace of her disappeared. Finally, he covered his face and burst into tears.
Yun Qingqing glanced at Liu Cui who was silently wiping her tears, and left the room silently.
Although Liu Cui was also overwhelmed with mixed feelings, she understood her hint and followed her out of the room.
"Master, do you have something to tell me?"
Yun Qingqing nodded:
"The red thread of your son's destiny has never actually been Qi Xiu."
