Rao Mengyu didn't know when she fell asleep. She was lying on a chaise lounge in the lounge. When she woke up, she was covered with a blanket. It was probably because some kind-hearted nurse was worried that she would catch a cold, so she covered her with it.
Yes, Rao Mengyu didn’t think much about it.
His thoughts seemed to still linger on Shangguan Yu's sudden tender words last night. It seemed that a thousand years had passed and he had experienced various vicissitudes of life. With an extremely unreal feeling, Rao Mengyu felt as if someone had hit his head with a heavy hammer.
Suddenly I woke up and it was like a dream. Everything I experienced last night was an illusion.
"Rao Mengyu, don't be stupid, he is just teasing you because he is bored, don't take it seriously like an idiot!"
There was a clear voice in the woman's heart that soberly extinguished the spark that was gradually emerging in her, and then she closed the door of Shangguan Yu's slightly open heart tightly again.
Because of fear of love, fear of being hurt, and lack of confidence in herself, the only gleam of light emerging from the door of her heart was completely blocked. Rao Mengyu allowed herself to stay in a dark and damp corner, not daring to open her heart.
, welcome this new dawn of Shangguan Yu.
And the facts prove that her sobriety is wise, otherwise she will be greeted with harm that she will never forget!!
But it's a pity that the awakening is temporary, just like fate, as long as Shangguan Yu applies a little gentleness and sweetness, Rao Mengyu will be like a deer with its limbs tied up, with no way to escape!!
What should come will always come, and what should hurt will always hurt...
Suddenly remembering Aunt Ling's surgery, Rao Mengyu stood up in annoyance, and the blanket fell to the ground. She patted her forehead and blamed herself: "Why did you forget the important thing!!"
Fortunately, the operation has ended. Although the process was tortuous, Aunt Ling's condition is not serious for the time being.
Just because of too many surgeries, Ling's mother's stomach has become as weak as a thin transparent water film, like a blown bubble, which will burst and be destroyed if she is not careful.
"In short, Ms. Ling's current situation is not very good. Recently, we can only use infusions to replenish her physiological muscle energy. Her stomach has basically lost its digestion ability. Please do not give her any more food.
She cannot drink anything, even water, as it is strictly controlled by us!!"
The attending doctor pushed up the old-fashioned framed glasses on the bridge of his nose and gave an extremely serious warning. His tone was clearly reproachful.
Because if it weren't for Rao Mengyu's bowl of soup, the patient's condition would not have suddenly erupted without any warning.
"Yes, yes, I understand, doctor, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!!"
Rao Mengyu held back the tears that were about to fall, and responded repeatedly with a choked voice.
There is no need for anyone to blame her or be dissatisfied with her, she is almost scolding herself to death!!
"Then doctor, what can I do?"
"Ms. Ling's current system is very weak and her consciousness is not very clear. The most important thing you should do is to let her get sufficient rest and not to disturb her."
The doctor said this.
Rao Mengyu nodded and said with some disappointment: "I understand, doctor, don't worry, I won't disturb her. I just want to take a look at her, say a few words to her and then leave..."
A woman's guilt needs to be redeemed, at least the words "I'm sorry" need to be uttered from her own mouth, otherwise there will always be a big stone in her heart and she will not be able to relax.
The doctor thought for a while and saw that Rao Mengyu was indeed weak and pitiful and did not look like a bad person, so he nodded.
"Okay, you can go visit her, but it's best not to take too long. What she needs most is to rest."
Rao Mengyu came to Ling's mother's private ward. Ling's mother seemed to have been waiting for her. As soon as he saw her, he weakly raised his hand to call her to his side.
"I'm sorry, auntie, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. Forgive me, I really didn't mean it..."
Rao Mengyu glanced at Ling's mother's pale face and dry lips after being tortured by the operation. She could no longer hold back her long-suppressed tears. She threw herself beside the hospital bed like a sinless person.
The sinners who forgive me cry until they are drowned and feel uncomfortable.
"Don't cry, silly girl, I'm doing the surgery, why are you crying..."
Ling's mother gently stroked Rao Mengyu's hair with her skinny, bone-like hands, with a motherly tenderness.
"No, Auntie, it was me who caused you to be like this. It was all because of my damn old duck soup. I knew you had a bad stomach, but I still added such heavy seasoning. I deserve to die, I really deserve to die!!"
"What did you call me, girl..."
"I, Auntie, oh no...Auntie, don't be angry, I..."
Rao Mengyu was so excited that she betrayed her. She didn't know what to say.
Should you explain the truth or continue to lie?
She was really in a bit of trouble.
"Oh, little girl, don't be nervous. In fact, I knew a long time ago that you teamed up with that kid to make me happy. How could my kid be so lucky to find such a good wife like you? Auntie, if you don't want to be angry with you, auntie
I just feel sorry for my silly boy..."
Ling's mother smiled, blooming into a pale flower with a decadent air, which made people's hearts feel soft after seeing it.
"Auntie, please don't. I'm not as good as you said. You don't know many things. I'm not a good woman at all. On the contrary, Ling Xuri. If any woman can marry him in this life, it will be a blessing.
It’s a pity that maybe I committed too many sins in my previous life, so I don’t have such blessings in this life…”
The woman's tears fell like rain one by one, and everything she said was true.
Ling's mother took Rao Mengyu's hand. To be precise, she held it very lightly. The fragile strength, like a gossamer, made Rao Mengyu afraid that Ling's mother would disappear like a puff of smoke in the next second.
"Girl, tell me the truth, do you like my silly boy?"
Ling's mother didn't follow Rao Mengyu in circles, she asked straight to the point.
"I...I like it, but it's not that kind of liking. He makes me feel like a relative..."
Rao Mengyu also answered honestly about her true feelings for Ling Xuri.
She didn't want to continue to deceive Ling's mother, which would only make her feel more uneasy.
Ling's mother was a little disappointed in her eyes, but she still smiled softly.
"My guess is indeed correct. My son is indeed not so lucky. Auntie can see that you must still be deeply in love with another man, so you can't find room to accept my silly boy..."
"No, aunt, I don't, I don't love anyone deeply, I...I don't love anyone now, because I..."
Somehow, the first person that came to Rao Mengyu's mind was Shangguan Yu!!
Her face instantly turned red, as if someone was spying on her most secret thoughts, and she felt shy as if she wanted to crawl into a crack in the ground.
"Girl, since you have someone you like, I won't force you to be with Xuri. It's just that my aunt is dying soon. From now on, my son will be alone and helpless and no one will take care of him. Since you think Xuri is your relative
, Auntie, I beg you to take good care of him for me in the future, I can’t worry about just this one thing..."
As she spoke, Ling's mother burst into tears again, and every word she spoke revealed the mother's good intentions.
Rao Mengyu was deeply touched, and she responded repeatedly: "Auntie, don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely take good care of Ling. Even if you don't say so, I will, because I owe you mother and son so much..."
Thinking that she had caused Ling Xuri to break his leg, Rao Mengyu burst into tears even more.
"Girl, open the cabinet beside my bed. There is a brocade box there. Open it and take a look..."
Rao Mengyu followed Ling's mother's instructions, found the brocade box, and opened the lid.
It was a box with exquisite packaging and a sense of age, a bit like the jewelry box of an ancient royal concubine, with an extremely precious texture.
"this……"
Rao Mengyu's eyes widened in surprise, and she was so dazzled by the treasures in the box that she was speechless.
There was actually a jade finger ring inside. The fine jadeite showed a few traces of blood red, and it immediately felt cool to the touch when you held it in your hand.
"So beautiful!!"
Rao Mengyu couldn't help but admire, she had never seen such fine jade.
"This is a fine jade passed down from the ancestors of the Ling family. The Ling family was a family of generals at that time. The old Taizu fought many victorious battles during the Song Dynasty and saved a large area of mountains and rivers. This jade petal was given to him by the old Taizu before he went on an expedition.
Madam's token has been passed down to me from generation to generation. Now I give it to you. You can wear it and show it to your aunt..."
"No, no, that's not possible, Auntie, I can't accept this. The meaning of this ring is too great, I really can't accept it!!"
Rao Mengyu backed away repeatedly, but Ling's mother insisted on letting her put it on. She really couldn't refuse, and was afraid that Ling's mother would be too emotional, so Rao Mengyu could only put it on, thinking that she would explain it to Ling Xuri later.
The jade ring fit Rao Mengyu's finger very well. It was neither loose nor tight when worn on the ring finger, as if it was tailor-made.
Ling's mother looked at the jade petal on Rao Mengyu's ring finger with a satisfied smile, and was filled with emotions for a moment.
"I think back when I was young and not suffering from this disease, my fingers were as long as green onions, slender and round, and looked great when I wore them. But now my fingers are like white bones, and they slip off when I put them on..."
Rao Mengyu was at a loss and didn't know what to say to comfort her. She had always been a taciturn person.
"Girl, by wearing this ring, you will be deemed to have agreed to Auntie's request. No matter what my son does in the future, you must forgive him and take care of him, because I believe that no matter what the reason is, it is because he loves you too much.
…”
Ling's mother knows her son's temperament best. She seems to be a prophet and can predict what will happen in the future.
Rao Mengyu couldn't understand Ling's mother's words, so she agreed repeatedly.
No one noticed that the ward was slightly open, and the man's eyes were complex, touching, and possessive.
------ps: Everyone, yesterday was a chapter that a certain Qiu helped me pass on. A certain finger was suffering and had no enjoyment. I swear...
