Chapter 871 Pretend
"Where's the lady?"
It’s the first snow today, and there’s already a thin layer of snow on the ground. The maids are clearing the snow off the ground.
When Rong Che came back, he brushed off the snow on his shoulders and changed his clothes in the greenhouse, fearing that the cold would harm Xu Shiyun.
"Madam is in the kitchen." The maid whispered.
Rong Che looked up suddenly.
"Nonsense! She is already at the end of her strength, how can she still run around?" He immediately hurried out and headed towards the small kitchen.
"General, the lady is a little different today, please go and take a look."
"Young Master Cancan brought a girl back. Madam...she hugged her and cried and laughed. She cried a lot. She kept calling her darling and daughter."
Rong Che was shocked when he heard this.
Others may not understand, but he does.
Yunniang now has a mental illness and cannot stand any stimulation.
She often couldn't tell the difference between reality and illusion. She often imagined that Chao Chao was still alive, and then suddenly woke up. I have been taking medicine for years, but the effect is still not obvious.
Rong Che stepped on the snow, making a creaking sound as he walked quickly towards the small kitchen.
Ever since Chao Chao's accident, the small kitchen has not been used for a long time.
At most it is used to boil medicine, and it always looks deserted and solemn.
But at this moment, when he walked outside the kitchenette, he vaguely heard laughter coming from the kitchenette. And the white mist that was rising up. He stood in the white hot air and was absent-minded for a moment.
There has been no laughter in the mansion for a long, long time.
Rong Che leaned against the wall, a tear rolling down his cheeks.
He heard his wife's long-lost laughter. The last time I laughed was six years ago...
The wife said: "This Nine-Turn Golden Lotus is the most precious. Whether it is the lotus leaves, the lotus flowers, or the lotus seeds that grow from them, they all have a fragrance."
"The lotus is coated with crispy flour, fried into lotus crisps, and arranged into the shape of blooming lotus flowers. It looks beautiful and delicious. You can try it later..."
"There are also golden lotus pastries. Mother, grind the golden lotus seeds into powder..." At this moment, Xu Shiyun was gentle and focused. Lu Chaochao had to be in a position where she could see him when she raised her eyes, otherwise she would lose her mind and fall into panic.
"Wow, grandma is so amazing, she can cook flowers into dishes. Cancan has never eaten it before..."
"Aunt, please try it..."
Rong Che, who was standing on the other side of the wall, felt his eyelids twitch when he heard the words "little aunt". Even his heart suddenly contracted for a moment. He arched his body in pain and pressed hard on his heart.
The small kitchen was filled with white mist, and the view was somewhat obstructed. Xu Shiyun looked up and couldn't see Lu Chaochao clearly, and she felt a little panicked.
Lu Chaochao saw her anxiety at a glance, so she took a few steps forward, leaned against the stove, and helped Xu Shiyun knead the dough.
Xu Shiyun looked up from time to time, and the mother and daughter smiled at each other.
Lu Cancan looked at the two of them in confusion. The room was a bit stuffy, so she secretly opened the door and wanted to go out for some fresh air.
But as soon as I opened the door, I saw my grandfather standing at the door with a gloomy face.
Cancan was startled and turned around to close the door, fearing that he would disturb his grandmother.
"Grandfather..."
Rong Che was suppressing his anxiety and waved at Cancan.
Before the two of them could say anything, they heard a hurried voice rushing into the courtyard: "Lu Cancan, are you really that bold?"
"You damn girl, you actually caused such a huge disaster!!" Wen was so angry that her eyes were red, and she was still holding a rattan stick in her hand.
Cancan was so frightened that his face turned pale. He rushed forward and hugged Rong Che's thighs: "My life is over, grandfather, save me!"
Rong Che...
Rong Che raised his finger to his lips. Wen Shi immediately suppressed her anger and walked out of the courtyard gate with Lu Cancan in her arms.
After leaving the yard, Lu Cancan slid to her knees on the ground, with snot and tears streaming down her face.
"Mom, I know I was wrong, wuwuwuwuwuwu... Please hit me gently, don't hit my face. If my face is damaged, I won't be able to get married and will be an old maid at home."
"Don't spank my butt. It will make it hard to sit and I won't be able to go to school."
"Don't hit your hands. You can't write if you hit your hands. Wuuwuwuwu..."
When Mrs. Wen heard that she had found a fake aunt to deceive her grandmother, she was furious. But seeing her pitiful appearance, I almost laughed out of anger.
"Are you scared now? Do you know how big a disaster you have caused? How dare you say such a huge disaster?" Wen was anxious and guilty.
She and Lu Zhengyue were childhood sweethearts, and had been very familiar with Xu Shiyun since they were young.
Xu Shiyun was very tolerant of her mother-in-law because she had suffered at the hands of her mother-in-law when she was young. After getting married these years, she feels more comfortable than at her parents' home. Even her parents said that she had married into a lucky couple in this life.
Who in the capital doesn't envy her?
If she had not been engaged in childhood, given the Wen family's background, she would never have been able to enter the Lu family.
Normally, she was respectful and filial to her mother-in-law, but she never expected her daughter to be so bold as to find someone to impersonate Lu Chaochao.
She was so frightened that she almost fainted just thinking about it.
"The old lady has a heart disease. How can she bear it if this matter is exposed?" Wouldn't this be the end of her life?
Cancan burst into tears.
"Cancan doesn't want to lose her grandmother. Woohoo, everyone says that grandma is dying. Cancan just wants her to live..."
"Mom, didn't grandma lose her memory? She always thought that little aunt Chaochao was traveling outside. As long as she could find a fake aunt to come home, grandma's knot would be untied."
"Wow, Cancan has told her everything about my aunt, no matter how big or small. She acted so well that even grandma believed it." Cancan wiped her tears and cried loudly.
Wen and Rong Che looked at each other.
Cancan didn’t know, but they knew.
The old lady did not lose her memory, she was just making an excuse to reassure them.
"Did your grandmother believe it?" Rong Che asked in astonishment.
Cancan nodded: "Yes, she is lighting the fire to make golden lotus cake for her aunt. She doesn't allow others to help her, she wants to do it herself."
"Mumbling something about the six-year-old golden lotus cake."
Rong Che could not hide the shock in his eyes. Golden Lotus Su, he knew that was his wife's heart knot.
That was the inner demon that kept me tossing and turning for countless days and nights.
Wen pursed her lips, her expression grim.
It is more terrifying for the old lady to believe it than not to believe it. She was in a trance now and couldn't tell the truth from the false, so it was not surprising that she believed it for a moment.
But lies will eventually be exposed one day. The old lady misses her daughter so much that she becomes a demon. If the lie is exposed one day...
The old lady is afraid...
Wen Ning was panicked. She felt sorry for the old lady, but if anything happened to the old lady, the responsibility would be on Cancan.
Wen lifted her skirt and said, "Father, it was my daughter-in-law who failed to teach Cancan well, causing Cancan to make a big mistake."
"Cancan is still young and naive. It's my daughter-in-law who didn't teach her well."
Rong Che was stunned when he heard the laughter coming from the kitchen.
He hadn't heard Yunniang laugh for six years.
He shook his head gently: "Get up."
"Cancan can't bear to see her grandmother fall into despair. This is Cancan's filial piety. Regardless of the outcome, this has already happened. Let's just... go along with Yunniang."
"Whether it's true or not, it's not important anymore." His Yunniang probably wanted to reassure her little granddaughter.
"Don't hit the child. Cancan is busy taking care of his grandmother, and it is the child's kindness." Rong Che touched Cancan's head.
