But slowly pressed on her face, making her eyes dark.
Before Jia had time to think about what had happened and what was about to happen next, he noticed that the cotton pillow, which had already been relatively hard, had been pressed more and more tightly on her face, squeezing her facial features and making her unable to breathe.
The instinct to survive made her struggle.
She urgently shouted "Jin Ping, Jin Ping", but her voice was only crushed by the musty pillow and slid back into her painful throat like a knife.
When her consciousness was almost nirvana, she heard the voice of thinking day and night, especially calm but trembling——
"You and my father have never given me a good birth and ruined my future. I have never complained about it, but... You really can't drag down my son any more."
"You can go at ease. When you see your father, remember to tell him that I can shine on the lintel of the family alone, and I will live up to his expectations..."
The woman who has been in bed for nearly half a year is like a withered and yellow reed in autumn. As soon as the wind blows, she disperses, floats and falls silently.
Seeing that his mother was no longer struggling, Zhan Yunzhu slowly retracted his palm pressed on the pillow.
A moment later, the cotton pillow was removed, revealing the woman's slightly distorted face and a pair of hollow and terrible eyes.
The young man's slender fingers gently smoothed the indentation on the cotton pillow and put it back behind the woman's head.
Then, the finger opened the messy hair on the woman's face a little, stroked it slowly over her eyes and closed it.
After doing all this carefully, he grabbed the woman's still warm palm and put it in front of his forehead.
"Mother, I know you won't blame me..."
A tear fell from the corner of his closed eye.
The small dark room was silent.
Zhan Yunzhu opened his eyes for a long time.
In the sight, the indentation on the woman's face has completely disappeared, and the look on her face has returned to eternal peace.
"... mother!"
The young man's anxious and pathetic cry spread out.
The servant woman in the courtyard hurriedly pushed the door and came in. Seeing the situation in the house, she couldn't help but look greatly changed and cry out in surprise.
She ventured forward to explore Jia's breath, and her face immediately became more white: "this..."
"How could mother just leave..."
The young man kept shaking his head, as if he could not accept the fact that he had met his mother after a long separation.
"Mr. Zhan..." the servant woman comforted him with some confusion: "my wife's illness is not two days a day. As the doctor said earlier, there is not much time left... Maybe I can see Mr. Zhan coming back today, but my heart is worried, and the holding breath is relieved..."
In a word, she can't be blamed for her poor care!
Although the salary given by Lord Ji is not rich, she is very conscientious!
The young man didn't know whether to listen to her. A moment later, he knelt down by the edge of the bed trembling.
When the bodyguard heard the news, he also came in to have a look. Seeing this, he was slightly stunned and withdrew silently.
The servant woman stood aside and didn't know what to do. She tried to persuade him. Seeing that the young man had no response and seemed to have lost his soul, she had to go out.
I'm dead. She has no reason to stay here. I'd better go back to the Yamen to explain it to Lord Ji first.
Alas, great happiness has become great sorrow. Things in the world are really changeable.
The servant woman went out of the courtyard with mixed feelings.
Because the carriage at the entrance of the alley was too eye-catching and rare, the man with a knife hanging behind his waist had been guarding outside the courtyard, so he attracted many idle people nearby.
Seeing the servant woman coming out, many people gathered around and asked.
The servant woman sighed and explained the general course of the matter.
The people were so surprised that they began to talk.
"This lady is so lucky..."
"Yes, it's not easy to wait until my son comes back..."
"It's also God's will to get people. How uncomfortable it is for childe Zhan. People in his family die and exile..."
"Not..."
"The lady has been ill for some time. Maybe the Buddha showed mercy and brought her son back in time to see her off..."
"But then again, since this young master Zhan is still alive, why did he come back today?"
"Didn't you hear what the servant woman said just now? I nearly died in the river, hurt my brain and suffered from amnesia. I don't remember who I was. This is the only way to cure it."
"According to that, it's really the Buddha's manifestation..."
After the funeral, the son suddenly returned safely, but the mother ended her heart knot and died peacefully in the company of her son——
This matter really attracted people's attention, so it soon spread.
Hearing the news, the Zhan clan immediately sent two people to inquire about the truth.
"Jin Ping, your mother saw you come back safely before she died. It can be regarded as fulfilling her wish. You should be sorry..."
Although they had never appeared since Jia's illness, they could not pretend not to know that the nephew with some good reputation had returned.
Originally, the family discussed it. When Jia died, all funerals should be simplified. How to save trouble and how to come.
But now the servant's son is back. The world is staring at him. He must not do that.
Thinking of this, the people couldn't help but feel some flesh pain.
If you don't come back early or late, why did you come back today?
The clansman looked at his nephew kneeling by the bed and sighed in the bottom of his heart.
No
It seems that his nephew didn't come back alone. Just now he saw a cold faced young man outside the hall?
The nephew's clothes don't seem to be very down-to-earth
Was it not for the time when I left home, what happened?
In an instant, I thought about many possibilities, including but not limited to which rich master accepted him as an adoptive son or a door-to-door son-in-law. The people wanted to inquire. It can be seen that the young man knelt there motionless. After he came in, he only shouted "third cousin" and didn't speak again, so he had to temporarily suppress his curiosity and speculation.
……
The matter soon spread to Xu Mingyi.
Zhu Xiu found her own girl in the martial arts training ground.
After waking up from his nap, Xu Mingyi came to the martial arts training ground in the mansion to practice arrows with Xu Mingshi.
At this time, listening to Zhu Xiu explain the matter, he didn't deliberately avoid his brother.
"Mrs. Zhan... Dead?!" Xu Ming was quite surprised.
Xu Mingyi said coldly, "but I'm afraid it's not certain how he died."
Zhan Yunzhu just went back today and Jia died——
Although there has always been no shortage of coincidences in this world, once all coincidences appear together with Zhan Yunzhu, it is most likely that they can no longer be simple coincidences.
