Mrs. Guo didn't want to think about the worst outcome, so she held back her tears and stood up directly. Regardless of her image as a noble lady, she directly dipped one side of the tea and began to draw the picture for Xiao Nianzhi on the table.
A pattern of peonies in full bloom.
She is like a person falling into the water, trying hard to hold on to the last hope.
Or maybe she doesn't want to hear the final, despairing answer.
Therefore, she was trying hard to stall for time, not wanting to listen or look. She even lowered her head, fearing that when she raised her eyes, she would see Xiao Nianzhi shaking his head again.
Mrs. Guo's body, which was not fully recovered, was trembling slightly at this time. Guo Yinghui tried his best to support her, and Meng Yu was also protecting her carefully.
Mrs. Guo's mind was completely confused and her hands were trembling, but she still tried hard to describe the appearance of the jade pendant. While painting, she whispered: "This jade pendant was rewarded by the Empress Dowager when Xiyu first entered the palace. She felt that the jade pendant was a reward for her."
The quality is very good and he is very nurturing, so he gave it to his sisters, one piece for me and one piece for Xiyue. This is wrong, this place is not like that..."
Mrs. Guo's tears fell so hard that the water painting she had just painted melted into one piece.
She anxiously wanted to trace and explain, but found that the things painted in water became more and more chaotic the more anxious she was, and finally melted into a ball.
And Mrs. Guo seemed to have exhausted the last bit of strength in her body. She sat slumped there with a dull expression and a hoarse voice: "...Is Xiyue really unable to come back?"
And just when she was filled with despair, Xiao Nianzhi's soft and gentle voice slowly sounded in her ears: "I do have this jade pendant."
With one sentence, Mrs. Guo suddenly raised her head and looked at Xiao Nianzhi with burning eyes, which made the hairs on her body stand up.
After reacting, Mrs. Guo stood up suddenly. Regardless of her manners, she stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Nianzhi's hand. She looked in disbelief and did not even dare to speak loudly: "...seriously?" After asking, without waiting for Xiao Nianzhi to answer, he asked in a tight voice: "You really have this jade pendant on you, your mother..."
Perhaps it was the excitement of ups and downs of great sorrow and great joy. Before she could finish a sentence, Mrs. Guo rolled her eyes again and fainted.
Fortunately, the doctor arrived just in time, which made Isatis relieved.
Her medical skills are really superficial, and at most she is good at boiling medicine!
Xiao Mansion has not had a female family member for many years, and it has always been lived by four people, father and son.
Therefore, there are no female relatives visiting the house every day, and the layout of the guest room is not convenient for Mrs. Guo.
However, after Xiao Nianzhi arrived, her residence was still very good, so she quickly arranged for people to carry Mrs. Guo to her courtyard and temporarily placed her on her bed.
After the eldest lady's examination, she only said that her old illness had not recovered and she had been irritated again. She should take care of her carefully in the future to avoid getting to the root of the disease.
She suffered too much stimulation today. For the sake of Mrs. Guo's health, the doctor meant to give her a bowl of soothing soup and let her have a good sleep. If there is anything, we can talk about it tomorrow.
Of course, the eldest lady does not understand the situation and is not sure whether her arrangement is feasible. She must first ask the owner about the situation.
There is no problem with Xiao Nianzhi, but Guo Yinghui is still confused.
However, Meng Yu behaved very politely and calmly at this time. He first asked Xiao Nianzhi's opinion: "How about letting mother rest for a night first?"
Everyone is worried about their own life experience.
But Meng Yu also feels sorry for her mother-in-law's health, so if possible, she actually wants Mrs. Guo to rest for the night and talk about it tomorrow.
Moreover, it’s yours that can’t be run away, it’s not yours, and there’s no point talking about it now.
Judging from the mother-in-law's reaction and the token provided by Xiao Nianzhi, this matter is close to ten, so there is no need to rush at this moment.
Of course, she couldn't understand Xiao Nianzhi's mood, and she couldn't really put herself in his shoes and understand it.
Therefore, we can only discuss it with the other party first.
Xiao Nianzhi is really not too anxious about recognizing his relatives.
So, when Meng Yu asked, she nodded quickly: "Okay, I'll let the woad make the medicine."
Seeing that Xiao Nianzhi agreed, Meng Yu also breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them did not get into chaos and arranged things in an orderly manner, so after the initial panic, everything quickly became stable again.
Guo Yinghui finally realized belatedly that if there were no surprises, Xiao Nianzhi was his...cousin?
This...
What a happy news!
He prayed right now that nothing unexpected would happen.
He is extremely satisfied with this result!
Hehe, he knew the news before his sister, so happy!
However, her mother is asleep now, and no one from her grandfather has notified her about this matter. Guo Yinghui thinks it is better to keep a low profile. It depends on how the family arranges it.
It is absolutely necessary to recognize relatives, but how to recognize them probably depends on the arrangements made by the maternal grandfather’s family.
Thinking of this, Guo Yinghui felt a little anxious.
He couldn't sit still and wanted to go to his grandfather's house to say something.
It's just that for such a big thing, he felt that it wouldn't look good if he went over it rashly. If his mother woke up, he would have to scold him if he didn't, right?
Seeing that he couldn't sit still, Meng Yu sighed helplessly: "Let's wait until mother wakes up, and..."
While saying this, Meng Yu looked outside again.
Xiao Nianzhi went over to see how the woad was brewing, and he probably left some space for them.
After Meng Yu glanced outside, he quickly looked back, and then said: "And you have to give Miss Xiao time to accept this kind of thing."
Suddenly there are many more relatives. It is a big deal for everyone, and it takes time to digest and accept it.
Meng Yu still had the same idea. There was no need to rush the matter of acknowledging his relatives. He should wait until his mother wakes up.
However, they obviously can't go back home today. Their mother is sleeping here, so they can't be so big-hearted as to leave her alone.
Although I felt relieved about Xiao Nianzhi and believed in the character of the Xiao family, things did not work out that way.
If you tell people later, it will be a joke if you don’t keep it all.
Therefore, neither Meng Yu nor Guo Yinghui can go back.
Originally, he just wanted to come and thank him, but now he has stayed overnight directly. Meng Yu arranged for someone to go back to his house and speak to the housekeeper.
That night, except for Mrs. Guo and Xiao Nianzhi who drank the soothing soup, no one slept well.
Xiao Nianzhi really wanted to eat well and sleep well, but...
She still thinks highly of herself.
Although she thinks this is the original owner's business, she has now accepted it all on behalf of the other party. She still needs to face future events, good or bad, by herself.
When I think about the many family members and relatives I will have in the future, where can I sleep here?
Even though they may be easy to get along with, they are still subconsciously anxious.
This anxiety makes it difficult to sleep well.
This night, I slept, woke up, and slept again.
When Ismail came over to ask her to go on duty, Xiao Nianzhi felt dizzy and her face didn't look particularly good-looking.
