Chapter 368

After entering the city, the emperor drove back to the direction of the palace, and then the people of each government also separated one after another.

Except for a few exceptions, the accompanying officials were all above the third grade. Most of the mansions built in the city were in prosperous places.

Therefore, among the sedan chairs, one of the carriages heading for the old folk houses in the south of the city is particularly eye-catching.

The spacious and comfortable oil wall carriage drove close to the folk house and stopped slowly at the entrance of the alley.

The lane was narrow and impassable for carriages.

The driver was a bodyguard in civilian clothes. At this time, he jumped down from the shaft seat, lifted the curtain of the carriage, stretched out a hand and helped the people in the car down.

Because his injury was not healed, the young man tied another cloak besides his long shirt.

Even so, when he got off the carriage, the man coughed for a while after the warm early summer breeze.

He looked in the direction of the lane and didn't move at his feet for a moment. He seemed to feel a little timid about his hometown.

After watching it silently for a moment, I just raised my feet and slowly entered the lane.

Obviously, the bodyguard had already inquired about the residence. At this time, he stopped in front of a small courtyard and said "it should be this family", so he came forward and knocked at the gate of the courtyard.

"Who?"

A woman's question came from the courtyard.

The bodyguard raised his voice and said, "young master Zhan is back. Open the door."

"... young master Zhan?"

The woman opened the door from the inside and said, "which young master Zhan? Why have I never heard of him? He is the young master of the Zhan clan?"

When the door was opened, the woman turned her curious eyes on the young man who looked somewhat ill.

"Where is my mother?" the young man's voice was weak, but there was a trace of trembling and eagerness. While talking, his eyes had turned to the direction of the hospital.

"I don't know this childe..." before the woman, who was obviously dressed as a servant, finished asking, she saw the young man coming in towards the hospital.

She frowned and said "Hey". When she was about to stop, she heard a soft sound of "miso". The young attendant pulled out a long knife from behind her waist and crossed in front of her.

The servant woman was so frightened that her face turned pale that she almost left her body and went to heaven.

"Mr. Zhan was ordered by his majesty to visit his mother. Don't obstruct others -" the bodyguard warned coldly.

"Your Majesty..." the servant woman was so surprised that she murmured, "Mr. Zhan... The wife's son? Didn't he throw himself into the river long ago?"

Because of this day and night, the possibility of hitting ghosts is too small... So, is it that people come back without death?!

After all, I said I hadn't found the body yet!

Thinking of this amazing possibility, the servant woman glanced back at the young man walking to the hall. Eager to see the excitement, she quickly explained to the bodyguard: "this adult misunderstood. The civilian woman has no intention of obstructing. The civilian woman came to take care of this Zhan's wife at the command of our Ji Fuyin. Just now she doesn't know the childe's identity and it's not easy to let people in rashly..."

Seeing her flattering smile on her face, the guard took the knife back without expression.

The servant woman gave him a random salute, hurriedly followed him, and shouted, "I'll show you the way. My wife is in this room!"

"The roof of the inner room that used to be the bedroom leaked rain and had not been repaired in time. I was afraid that my wife was damp and cold, so I cleaned up this room temporarily..."

The servant woman took Zhan Yunzhu to the side room, pushed the door open and said with great joy, "madam, your childe is back!"

"... who?"

Jia Shi, the wife of the Zhan family, who was lying in bed, turned her head slightly and asked in a low voice.

She just thought she had heard wrong or was dreaming again as usual.

"Your childe is back!" the servant woman stepped into the room and smiled and sat Jia up.

Jia Shi, who was so ill that he had only a handful of bones left, sat up with her. He was still stunned and asked, "who did you say...?"

Her long illness and depression made her look dull from inside to outside.

The servant woman put a pillow behind her and let her lean against it. She stood aside with a smile and pointed to the direction of the door: "look who it is!"

You can't pretend to be such a thing, can you?

But it was really the first time she had heard of such things only in the play book!

The servant woman's eyes went back and forth on the mother and son, curiously distinguishing the true from the false.

Looking at the young man standing in the door, Jia's gray and turbid eyes suddenly widened, and his thin, sunken and relaxed cheeks trembled with too much excitement.

"Jin Ping... Is it really you?"

"Mother, it's the son who has come back." Zhan Yunzhu replied in a hoarse voice.

At the next moment, he lifted up his robe corner and knelt down. He knocked heavily in Jia's direction: "it's my son's unfilial. He came back late."

Jia shook his head, red eyes and excitedly said: "... Come... Come to my mother and let her have a good look!"

Zhan Yunzhu answered "yes" respectfully and confusedly. He got up to the bedside and held the trembling hands that kept waving to him.

"Jin Ping... My son... My son is really back!"

Jia's eyes were firmly fixed on his son's face and did not dare to blink: "mother knew that you could never leave your mother because you were so sensible and filial from urination!"

While talking, tears rolled down from the dark eyes.

Zhan Yunzhu raised his hand and stroked his mother's messy and pale hair, but also red eyes: "it's all the unfilial son who has made his mother suffer..."

"No, mother won't feel bitter when she sees you back! Great, great!" Jia began to smile, and his eyes always looked at the person in front of him greedily.

The servant woman on one side wiped her tears.

In fact, she didn't talk much with this Mrs. Zhan on weekdays, but she is prone to tears because of other people's stories.

At this time, Zhan Yunzhu turned his head and said to her, "thank you for taking care of my mother these days."

The servant woman smiled and said, "young master Zhan, you're welcome. This is Lord Ji's explanation. I'm just doing what I'm told."

It is said that Miss Xu from the government of the town came to take care of the wife of the Zhan family. After the Xia family's case was settled, the adult took pity on the wife of the Zhan family and asked her to come and replace her.

She doesn't have much to thank for her work.

"I'll make an engagement another day and thank Lord Ji myself."

When the young man said so, the servant woman smiled and nodded.

It's time to thank Lord Ji. After all, Lord Ji hired her with private money.

At this time, I heard the young man say, "I want to talk to my mother alone -"
