Chapter 824 It Hurts
When Xu Shiyun heard the word "Aunt", her whole body stiffened slightly.
The pain spread all over her body, causing her breathing to stop for a moment.
The maid behind him trembled her eyelids and shook her head secretly at Cancan, then took over the young master: "Young master, are you scared? You are so scared that you are incoherent."
"My aunt has gone to practice with the master and has not returned home yet."
"Don't be naughty again next time. Look, you scared the old lady so much that her face turned pale." The maid took Cancan over. Cancan frowned and wanted to say something, but the maid turned her back and gently covered her mouth.
"Ma'am, let's go home."
"The wind is strong, be careful not to catch a cold. Besides, the young master was frightened today, I'm afraid he needs to calm down."
At this time, the disciples of Chaoyang Sect had already gone down the mountain, so they were invited back to the mansion to collect the souls.
When the maid thought of what happened today, her hands and feet couldn't help but go weak.
What if the old lady heard something?
Xu Shiyun was already exhausted, and the maids on both sides supported her and sent her back to the carriage.
"Send someone on horseback to the capital to report to the general. Tell him that the young master is fine and we will return to the city immediately." The maid reported in a low voice outside.
The curtains on both sides blocked out the sunlight and also isolated the situation inside the carriage.
Xu Shiyun lay on the cushion and whispered, "I'm a little tired. Wake me up when we get back home."
"Yes." The maid replied respectfully.
The carriage creaked as it moved. Half an hour later, a deliberately suppressed voice seemed to come from outside the carriage. It was Dengzhi who had arrived.
"How can you let my wife leave the capital? What if my wife finds out?"
"And young master, if something happens, how will everyone in the Lu family survive?"
"Madam, didn't you notice it?" Dengzhi rushed out of the capital upon hearing the news. God knew that she was so frightened that her soul almost left her body at that moment.
"Madam looks a little pale, probably because she was frightened by Master Cancan. Apart from that, there is nothing unusual." The little maid replied in a low voice.
Dengzhi seemed to have lifted the curtain, and the lady was lying on a cushion, covered with a thin brocade quilt.
He was facing away from her, breathing evenly.
Dengzhi felt relieved, lowered the curtain and retreated behind the convoy.
"Madam has finally calmed down. You must not let her leave the capital again. Just invite her back home. I will take care of anything."
"How is Cancan? You fell from such a height, you must not have any internal injuries. External injuries are easy to treat, but internal injuries are troublesome."
Dengzhi felt extremely regretful and wished he would never have left his lady's side if he had known earlier.
She remembered that Yuzhu was supported by Chaochao and had high hopes for her, so she went to see her off in person today.
The little maidservant couldn't hide her surprise either: "Sister Dengzhi, I asked the accompanying doctor to take a look. There is no injury on the body."
"That century-old tree, about tens of meters tall... just fell straight down."
"Now there are people outside the temple saying that the savior has appeared."
Dengzhi went to the carriage behind again. The wet nurse didn't dare to take her eyes off Cancan and stared at him without blinking.
Cancan was very excited today and not sleepy at all. She lay on the mat and played with the dog.
"Aunt Dengzhi..."
"Aunt, Aunt, save me..." She crawled to Dengzhi using her hands and feet. Dengzhi stretched out his hand and hugged her in his arms. After lifting up the clothes and taking a closer look, there was not even a trace of red marks.
Dengzhi was shocked beyond words. He just kept the matter in mind and would report it to the general after returning home.
"Don't climb trees anymore. What will you do if you fall down?" Dengzhi deliberately made a stern face to scare her.
Little Cancan smiled happily: "Gao Gao Tree, make a wish..."
“Spirit…true spirit…”
"Aunt, save me..."
Dengzhi thought she was calling her, and couldn't bear it anymore, so she pinched her little face: "Aunt Dengzhi can't save you, your father will punish you when you go home." Dengzhi never married. Although she was Xu Shiyun's maid in the mansion, she was actually half the master.
The other half was because she still called herself a slave and served the Lu family.
But the Lu family has always respected her. Xiao Cancan even directly called her Aunt Dengzhi.
Cancan pouted and drooped her face in grievance: "Aunt Chaochao...Aunt Chaochao, save Cancan." She opened her arms, like a little bird...
"Fei Fei Fei, Aunt Chao Chao..."
Dengzhi's expression paused for a moment, and he looked towards Xu Shiyun nervously.
"You said it was Aunt Chaochao who saved you?"
Cancan pouted and wrinkled her face: "In the past, Aunt Chaochao took Cancan flying, and that was it..."
"It must be Auntie."
"It must be Aunt Feijia. But why can't Cancan see her?" She said in a baby voice and stammering.
This matter involved Lu Chaochao, so Dengzhi did not dare to be careless and asked carefully immediately.
But Cancan was young and couldn't tell the truth from the false. He said that he had grown wings, just like the wings his grandmother used when she flew.
Later he said that Aunt Chaochao saved him.
Sometimes the wind lifted her butt, very gently, just like her mother, and not like her father, the Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Children's language is innocent and their imaginations run wild. Dengzhi's heart, which had been beating fast, fell back into the abyss again. She could not hide her disappointment and her eyes were a little hot. What is she thinking about? The entire divine world forced her to die, and her soul dissipated. Could this be false?
She always kept a glimmer of hope in her heart, and even dared to believe Cancan's nonsense.
She raised her finger: "Shh, Cancan, let's have a discussion."
"Please don't mention Aunt Chao Chao in front of grandma, okay?"
"It was hard for my grandmother to hear that."
Cancan tilted her head, with a look of nervousness and fear on her face: "Blood, knives... Cancan is afraid."
"No, Cancan won't tell me. Cancan definitely won't tell me."
"Cancan, don't lose your grandmother..." She hugged Dengzhi's neck tightly, and trembled with fear when she thought of that night.
Dengzhi patted her back soothingly, kissed her little face, and then sent her to the arms of her wet nurse.
"Go back home and calm her down."
Turning around, Dengzhi wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Yeah, how scary.
A mother gives everything for her daughter without reservation, which is more important than her own life.
But when I lost my daughter, it was like the sky was falling and everything in this world became meaningless.
No one could have imagined that one day, she would end up in a dead end.
After Chao Chao passed the seventh day, she behaved the same as usual, nothing unusual.
After breakfast, I went to the Buddhist temple to pray for Chao Chao and chant sutras, then went back to the room, holding Chao Chao's little clothes and staring blankly. He even had afternoon tea with Cancan and played with her in the afternoon.
It seemed as if he had already accepted Chao Chao's departure.
No one noticed anything unusual.
That day, because it was the seventh day after Chao Chao's death, the whole family stayed at home to rest, burned paper and prayed for Chao Chao, and the whole family also had dinner together.
Xu Shiyun had not been allowed to serve Dengzhi for a long time. She was told to spend her remaining years in the mansion and not to treat herself as a maid.
But Dengzhi served her all his life and never asked anyone else to do the job for him.
She doesn't trust anyone except herself.
That day, she personally helped her wash and then the lady went to bed to rest.
