Chapter 242 I Don’t Have a Mother Anymore
As she spoke, she handed an exquisite little box to Gu Jingchun.
"And this... thing is my... most important thing. You have to keep it well for me."
She put the thing in Gu Jingchun's hand and patted it gently.
"Remember, don't open this box casually."
Mei Xueli's voice gradually became softer, and her gaze fell on Gu Jinxi beside her.
"This child is already this big. In the future, I will feel relieved to have him accompany you."
Her eyes were still on Gu Jingchun, as if she wanted to imprint Gu Jingchun deeply in her mind.
"I know... you haven't been an ordinary child since you were born, but... I still hope you won't get involved in those disputes. I hope... you can be happy."
Mei Xueli's voice became softer and softer, and her eyelids became heavier and heavier.
Seeing this, Gu Jingchun stepped forward and held Mei Xueli's hand, shouting, "Go call Doctor Li."
Kneeling in front of the bed.
"Mom, don't sleep. I've brought you a highly skilled doctor. He will definitely cure your illness."
Mei Xueli shook her head.
"It's useless. I know my body well. It can't take it anymore."
"Before I die, I will be very satisfied if I can see you one more time."
Her hand fell on Gu Jingchun's face, as if she saw the woman from that year again.
"You...really look like her."
"I raised you... I think... after you get to the bottom, she won't blame me."
Gu Jingchun looked at her eyes which were almost closing and called her quickly.
"Mom, don't close your eyes. Look at me again. No one will blame you. Mom, open your eyes and look at me."
Gu Jingchun shouted loudly.
Mei Xueli, who had already closed her eyes, actually opened her eyes when she heard Gu Jingchun's words.
"Jingchun..."
Her voice was so soft that Gu Jingchun almost had to lie down next to her mouth to vaguely hear what she said.
"If... you meet your master again in the future, please... don't blame him... If possible, please... spare his life."
"He... is also a miserable person."
Gu Jingchun nodded continuously upon hearing this.
Mei Xueli seemed to have no regrets at all and was about to close her eyes.
At this moment, Gu Jingchun pulled Gu Jinxi over.
"Mom, don't sleep, look at your grandson."
"I...I've found his father."
Mei Xueli, who was about to close her eyes, slowly opened her eyes after hearing this.
"Who is...his...father..."
Gu Jingchun held Mei Xueli's hand tightly, tears slowly falling.
"His father is the crown prince of Dacheng. He's a very good man. Mother, don't sleep. Wait for him. He'll be here soon. Then you can go see him in person to see if he's okay."
But Mei Xueli's eyes widened in an instant, and her emotions fluctuated in an instant.
The veins on the hand holding Gu Jingchun popped out from the force.
"How... is it him... No... No..."
Mei Xueli uttered a word with difficulty, and then she had no more strength. Her head tilted and she lay down, no longer able to breathe.
Gu Jingchun watched Mei Xueli's hand fall down, was silent for a moment, and then shook her tremblingly.
"mother……"
"mother……"
The sound of her calling her became louder and louder.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Open your eyes and look at me!"
But the person on the bed had his eyes closed and was motionless.
"mother."
Gu Jingchun's voice lowered, and tears fell quickly like beads from a broken string.
"It's my fault. I should have come to see you earlier, mother..."
Gu Jingchun's voice became lower and lower, and finally he fell weakly in Mei Xueli's arms.
Sobbed loudly.
"Mother."
Gu Jinxi felt uncomfortable.
He held Gu Jingchun's hand and shook it gently.
"Mother, don't be sad. You still have Xier."
Gu Jingchun looked at his well-behaved son, immediately hugged him, then closed his eyes and fainted.
The days of hard work and excessive excitement caused Gu Jingchun to faint for a whole day and night.
Gu Jingchun just felt like he was dreaming.
The dream was about everything that happened with Mei Xueli.
From the time she was a baby to the time she grew up.
From the time she stuck to Mei Xueli all the time, to when she grew up and started leaving home to travel around.
And the girl who was waiting for Mei Xueli at the door gradually became Mei Xueli who was waiting for her to come home at the door.
She knew clearly that Mei Xueli had been waiting for her to come back.
However, due to revenge and various reasons, she never came back.
She looked at Mei Xueli, who was sitting at the door in her dream, staring longingly at the front. She felt a severe pain in her heart and tears kept flowing from the corners of her eyes.
"mother……"
Gu Jingchun murmured.
Her sad look made the people in front of her feel distressed.
He couldn't help but hold Gu Jingchun's hand and comfort him softly.
"Don't be afraid, your mother just went to a better place.
There is no disease, no pain, and you should bless her."
A familiar voice made Gu Jingchun open his eyes suddenly, and then he saw the man sitting beside his bed.
Chen Hechuan also had a tired look on his face, and his usually very refined face was now covered with stubble, making him look more mature and experienced.
"Why are you here?"
When Gu Jingchun opened her mouth, she realized that her voice was very hoarse.
Chen Hechuan immediately brought a cup of tea to her mouth.
She drank from Chen Hechuan's hand, but her eyes were always on him.
"Still drinking?"
Gu Jingchun shook his head.
Chen Hechuan put down the teacup and looked into her eyes before speaking.
"Why are you looking at me? Don't you recognize me?"
"Mu Qian, have you ever met my mother before?"
Shen Hechuan shook his head.
"No, why would you ask?"
Gu Jingchun suddenly stood up, threw himself into Chen Hechuan's arms, and began to sob softly.
"Mu Qian, I don't have a mother anymore."
Her voice trembled, and her tears wet the clothes on Shen Hechuan's chest, and also wet Shen Hechuan's heart.
He held Gu Jingchun in his arms, feeling extremely heartbroken.
But the only thing he could do now was to gently stroke her back and tell her silently.
He is here.
No matter when.
He is here.
After Chen Hechuan arrived in Qi County, he immediately settled everything and asked Tianji and others to take charge, while he began to look for Gu Jingchun without stopping.
Although Gu Jingchun tried his best to hide it.
However, the people around Chen Hechuan were not pushovers either. They searched along the path where the secret guard fainted and soon found Gu Jingchun.
However, when he hurried over, he saw Gu Jingchun who had fainted from crying.
He couldn't help but feel distressed, so he stayed by her bedside until she woke up.
Now, he felt that the crying of the woman in his arms had become much quieter, so he spoke softly.
"Jingchun, listen to me, everyone is born, grows old, gets sick and dies. Aunt Mei is old, and it's only a matter of time before she passes away.
She loves you so much, she definitely doesn't want to see you so sad."
"I heard that after a person dies, their soul will wander around the world for seven days."
"Can you bear to let her see you so sad and be reluctant to leave?"
Gu Jingchun shook his head.
"Since you're reluctant and you're tired of crying, why don't we get up and take care of Aunt Mei's funeral first?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun's eyes turned red again.
But this time she didn't cry out loud. Instead, she stood up firmly and walked towards where Mei Xueli was.
At this time, the mourning hall has been set up.
In the mourning hall, the smoke from sandalwood curled up, and the white gauze hung down like frost.
Mei Xueli lay quietly in the coffin, smiling, just as before.
This made Gu Jingchun wonder whether all this was true.
She knelt in front of the coffin, holding a long incense stick, and slowly kowtowed for the first time.
