"Yi'er, eat slower. There's more." The first wife wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief. When her hand touched the scar on his face, she lightly shrank her hand and gave Senior Servant Zhou a look before telling her to take Lian Yan away.
"Hehe, who told mother's food to be so delicious." He didn't even raise his head as he continued to eat happily.
"Yi'er, mother came with you because she wanted to ask the truth from your heart. You have to be honest with mother." said the First Lady.
"Just ask. I will tell Mother everything." Lian Fu raised his head and said with a smile.
When the first wife saw Lian Fu's smile, and recalled all these years when this child was right in front of her, her heart trembled and immediately felt that she was somewhat cruel. However, when she thought of her baby, and also of Lian Yanqing and Lian Li's mother's attitudes today, she finally hardened her heart and said:
"Today, your father said he would hand over the entire Lian Clan to you. You, what do you think in your heart?"
Lian Fu was stunned as the smile on his face froze. He did not say anything as he lowered his head and continued to eat the lotus seed soup.
"Erm, you, you also know, your identity, actually... "Yan Er, he …"
Mother, don't worry, I don't have any thoughts about the Lian Family's business. Today, when father suddenly said this, your son did not have the chance to refuse, so I let him do as he pleased. I know my identity, I will not take anything that does not belong to me. Without even raising his head or waiting for the first wife to finish speaking, he said.
When the first wife heard this, she became flustered. With a flushed face, she stammered, "No, it's not like that. Ji'er, that's not what mother meant. Mother's meaning is …." "If, if …"
"Mother, this lotus seed soup tastes really good. It tastes just like I remembered. Let me finish eating it, okay?" Lian Meng gave her a slight smile as he said this.
"…" The First Wife's words choked in her mouth. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to put it. She kept feeling that Lianyu had misunderstood her meaning and wanted to explain, but she couldn't.
After finishing the last spoonful of broth, he stood up and said, "Mother, I've finished eating. Please be at ease and bring along Brother Yan …"
With that, he stood up and prepared to leave.
"Tactics …" The first wife quickly chased after him and said, "I, I will always treat you as my son. You, do you understand what I mean?"
"Mother, I understand. I'm a bit tired. I'll go take a rest." As he spoke, he nodded to the first wife and walked out.
When his figure disappeared, the First Wife suddenly felt her legs go soft. An intense feeling of guilt held her tightly.
"Madam." Senior Servant Zhou walked over with Lian Yan in her arms. "Are you alright?"
"Every mother thinks for their child. Although I'm a bit cruel to him, I said it for his own good, so that he wouldn't think of things that don't belong to him and destroy the relationship between mother and son."
Senior Servant Zhou said, "Madam is right, Young Master Yan is still the most important person."
After Lian Meng left the courtyard, he stood on the small path. As the wind blew, his black hair fluttered in the wind. Suddenly, he didn't know where he should go.
He raised his head. At some point, the sky had been covered by a thick layer of clouds. It looked like it was going to rain again.
"Young master, it's going to rain soon. Are you going back?" When he found out that his young master had left his wife's place, he couldn't help but ask with a lonely expression.
"You can leave. I haven't come back for a long time. I want to walk around by myself." He quickly instructed.
"Yes, young master. It's going to rain soon. This servant will go get you an umbrella. Please wait here." 49: 9 He hurriedly returned to the school, and when he took the umbrella back to the original place, he discovered that his figure had disappeared — —
The afternoon was sultry.
Even after dinner, she fell asleep. While she slept, it rained heavily. The rain was so heavy that the heavens seemed to want to pour down all the water in the sky.
When she woke up, the rain finally stopped. As usual, she went to the window, looked out, and asked, "How long has it been raining?"
"Eldest Miss, it's been more than two hours. This time, people are panicking. It's as if the trees outside have been blown down." Fairy Qingdai stood at the side and said with a lingering fear in her heart.
"The tree is about to topple …" Lian Ruyue mumbled. Her gaze inadvertently landed on the pot of Begonia outside. Leaves fell to the ground, but that pot of Begonia bloomed so well that not a single petal fell.
Her heart skipped a beat as she hurriedly said, "Qingdai, hurry and open the courtyard door."
"What's wrong, Eldest Miss, did something happen?" Qing Dai quickly asked when she saw Lian Ruyue's anxious expression.
"Don't ask, open the door."
Lian Ruyue stood in front of the door, and Qing Dai hurriedly obeyed. Together with Senior Servant Tai, they opened the door — —
As the door slowly opened, a figure immediately entered Lian Rue's line of sight …
He saw Lian Fu sitting in front of the doorstep with his back leaning against the door. His body was completely soaked from the rain, and his black hair was dripping down his back.
The current him did not look as high-spirited as he did when he was sitting on the steed. He looked just like a child.
"Tactics …" Lian Meng Yue's eyes turned hot as she called out.
Hearing this call, Lian Meng's heart shook as a painful and happy expression flashed across his face.
"Young Master, why are you sitting there alone?" "Ah!" CaiYi cried out in alarm. She hurriedly ran over with her umbrella, raising it high above her head.
Lian Fu turned around, and his smiling and foolish look returned to his face. He carried something in his arms and looked at Lian Ruyue, "Sister."
"How long have you been here and why haven't you knocked? Have you been sitting there waiting?" Lian Ru Yue immediately called him in. She had a reproachful tone in her voice as she ordered Senior Servant Tai to bring a dry handkerchief and wipe the water off his face.
"I was afraid you would fall asleep, so I didn't make a sound." Lian Meng took out a basket from his chest and placed it on the table. "I just came to pick these at the academy's jujube tree. I've already eaten it, and it's just as sweet as last year's. Hurry and eat it."
"Yi'er, you are such a fool!" Lian Ruyue saw that his hair was stuck to his face, water was dripping down, and the scar on his face was even more eye-catching. She suddenly felt very sour in her heart.
"It's fine, it's a bit wet, don't be afraid.
"Actually, it didn't rain when I came. I was sitting on the ground with the basket in my arms, thinking about something. Who knew that I was so engrossed that I didn't even know it was raining. When I was called by Qingdai just now, I knew I was completely drenched." Lian Meng said somewhat embarrassedly, "Eat a jujube quickly."
He held out the jujube in his hand to Lian Ruyue. Because he had been drenched in the rain for so long, he was somewhat cold. The hand holding the jujube trembled slightly, and his eyes were slightly red.
Lian Ruyue did not accept the dates, she only looked at the person in front of her fixedly.
He was still that incantation, not changing at all. No matter how famous he became, he was still him, the same as he was in his memories.
Fairy Qingmei cast a meaningful glance at Senior Servant Tai and the others before silently retreating, closing the door behind them.
"Elder sister, eat …" The jujube in his hand was covered with water, and his eyes were as clear as amber.
"Yi'er, what happened to you? What happened? " Lian Ru Yue could faintly feel the great sorrow hidden in Lian Fu's heart. He was trying his best to conceal something, as if he was afraid that Lian Rou would know about it.
