Chapter 115: The Little Ancestor of Shangshu Mansion
Lu Chaochao's words shocked Lord Fang so much that he froze in place.
A dying person?
Is it really true that he can’t keep his old wife?
Lord Fang felt so sad that tears streamed down his face.
"She wanted to die." Chao Chao spoke unclearly, but the old minister understood.
"Thirty years ago, when my eldest daughter was three years old, my wife took her out to see the lanterns but she got lost. Since then, she has had a knot in her heart. She has never gotten pregnant again."
Lord Fang is a man who values friendship and loyalty. He has never remarried or taken a concubine.
"I adopted a son and kept him in my arms. The grandson from whom you borrowed money is the son of my adopted son." Lord Fang seemed to be distracted all of a sudden and took Chaochao into the inner courtyard.
In the inner courtyard, all the servants looked tense.
Everyone could feel that the old lady's life was slipping away quickly.
As soon as you enter the door, you can smell the strong smell of medicine and the dying smell of a sick bedridden person.
A strong sense of death permeated the air.
As soon as Lu Chaochao entered the room, she saw a young woman kneeling in front of the bed. The woman was dressed simply and did not wear a single piece of jewelry.
It seems that he is afraid that the jewelry will scratch the old lady.
She held the copper basin and personally cleaned the dirt off the old lady.
There was no trace of resentment between his brows.
"This is my daughter-in-law, Zhu Yan. She originally came here to escape disaster from the north. Madam is kind-hearted and has been providing disaster relief every day. She happened to save her life."
"What's even more coincidental is that my Liang'er and I have achieved a happy ending."
Over the years, she was grateful for the old lady's kindness and served her very well.
The old lady was also very close to her.
Closer than to an adopted son.
"Mother still refuses to eat." The young woman's voice was choked with sobs and her eyes were red.
The old lady hasn't had a drop of water for three days.
"You're back?" The old woman on the bed said in a gloomy voice. She raised her hand and Lord Fang held her hand.
"We have been married for thirty years, you know my feelings."
"Don't force me to stay." The old lady choked with sobs.
"For you, I have been holding on for decades, but I can't hold on anymore. I'm tired..." The curtain was lifted, revealing an old man with wrinkles on his face and cloudy eyes, looking into the distance, as if he was waiting for something.
"Old woman, you are all I have left." In the court, the old minister who was always the final word was crying like a child.
Now that his daughter is gone, is his wife going to leave him too?
"It's my fault, it's all my fault. I didn't think highly of my daughter... The Fang family is going to be extinct." The old lady burst into tears.
An adopted son is, after all, an adopted son.
The Fang family's bloodline is about to be cut off.
The old lady felt heavy-hearted. She became ill from worrying too much and never got pregnant again after her daughter went missing.
Lord Fang is unwilling to take a concubine, and now the Fang family has been cut off.
Lu Chaochao was looking at the young woman who was crying silently beside the bed.
"Wo, I think we found our daughter." Lu Chaochao said slowly.
The crying stopped.
Lord Fang suddenly looked up at her.
"If you can find my daughter, you will be the ancestor of my Shangshu Mansion!" Lord Fang took a deep breath.
In fact, he has found someone to pretend to be his daughter over the years just to keep the old lady alive.
But the old lady always finds something unusual.
Lu Chaochao grinned.
"Your daughter is right in front of you." Lu Chaochao suddenly spoke.
"You, what did you say?" The old lady was stunned when she saw the baby.
"Wo said that your daughter has already returned home." Lu Chaochao put his hands on his hips and raised his chin slightly.
The old lady did good deeds and accumulated virtue, so blessings had already come to her.
Even Lord Fang was confused.
"The Palace of Children is full, which means that your children are around you and you have been reunited for a long time." Lu Chaochao pointed at her and the woman beside him.
The young woman was stunned: "Ah?" Tears were still on her face.
The old lady suddenly sat up.
She hadn't eaten for three days and felt dizzy, so Minister Fang hurriedly supported her.
"You, what did you say? Say it again? Be more specific, have you been reunited a long time ago?" The old lady spoke in a hurry, her voice trembling.
"No, no, Zhu Yan, Zhu Yan, say it again?" The old lady wanted to get out of bed, but Zhu Yan hurriedly stopped her.
"Mom, please lie down quickly." said the daughter-in-law anxiously.
"My daughter-in-law is named Zhu Yan. She is from Beiqu County. When she was fifteen, she was sold by her mother while fleeing famine. Zhu Yan escaped by chance and was later rescued by Madam during the disaster relief effort." The young woman was confused. What did it mean that they had been reunited long ago?
What is mother-daughter reunion?
"What about before? Before you were three years old, do you remember?" The old lady had never asked this.
Zhu Yan was slightly stunned.
She indeed has no memory before the age of three.
"I, I, my daughter-in-law had a serious illness when she was three years old. When she woke up, she had a severe headache and had lost all her memories before the age of three. But..." Zhu Yan paused.
When she was young, neighbors always said that she was picked up to have a younger brother.
But she didn't take it seriously.
now……
Her heart was pounding.
"A neighbor once joked that Zhu Yan was picked up." As she spoke, Zhu Yan blushed.
"But... I have a birthmark on my body." Her face flushed, and the location was a little difficult to describe.
Lord Fang suddenly sat up straight.
"In the hips!" the old lady shouted sharply.
His eyes were burning and his whole body was trembling. As he looked at Zhu Yan, he felt his throat become dry and tears began to fall.
"My daughter has a leaf-shaped birthmark on her buttocks. The location is hidden and no one else knows about it." The old lady grabbed Zhu Yan like crazy. Oh my God, oh my God! !
"Yan'er, are you willing to let the midwife, the nanny and the doctor check it out?"
“Although it’s a little…” Lord Fang felt embarrassed, but his daughter-in-law agreed immediately.
"Zhu Yan is willing."
She knew that her mother-in-law missed her daughter very much and that her daughter was her only concern in this life.
She goes to burn incense on the first and fifteenth of every month, praying that her mother-in-law can find her daughter.
But she never thought that her daughter was herself.
The old lady didn't want to commit suicide at this moment: "Hurry up and bring me the ginseng soup." She sat up and shouted to the nanny.
The servants were so happy that they cried. The lady had always told them to keep the ginseng soup and rice porridge warm on the stove, and now it came in handy.
The old lady drank one bowl and didn't dare drink any more.
The elderly have poor stomachs and need to take supplements slowly.
She has to keep this life to see her daughter!
The old lady couldn't wait any longer, so the maid helped her into the inner room.
Lu Chaochao was sitting on a chair with the big dog lying at her feet. The white-haired Lord Fang was walking around excitedly like a young boy.
Adopted son Fang Xuan was rushing back home.
"Dad? I heard that your sister was found?" The man's face was also full of excitement.
The parents have been searching for their daughter for more than 20 years and have even been deceived. The true and false things have long made them despair.
"Where is my sister?"
Not finished yet.
Suddenly, a cry of pain came from the inner room.
"My daughter, my daughter!!" the old lady burst into tears. Years of forbearance and despair all disappeared at this moment.
Her kindness and her requests were rewarded.
Fate had already pushed her beloved child back to her side.
She almost missed it.
The elderly Minister Fang was crying blankly.
Click.
Kneeled in front of Lu Chaochao.
"Little ancestor."
On the second day after the divorce, she became the little ancestor of the Shangshu Mansion.
Lu Yuanze: How can I get close to the Shangshu? ? Urgently needed!
