He walked to the doorway, reached out to open the door, and as soon as he entered, he saw soone lying on the bed. The curtains in the room were all drawn back, and glaring light poured in—
Jiang Yixiu composed himself, not sure to whom he was speaking, "Why didn’t you pull the curtains closed?"
Luo Yan heard the tone of bla in his words, probably blaming her!
Just as she was about to explain, the Old Madam Jiang, who had been hiding under the covers, threw back the bedding, her lips trembling, "...Yixiu, you’ve returned, you’ve finally returned."
Jiang Yixiu, seeing his mother looking so haggard, imdiately frowned and hurriedly asked, "Mom, what’s wrong with you? I was only away for a short ti. How did you get like this?"
"...I, I." The Old Madam Jiang seed to be stimulated by sothing. She glanced at Luo Yan, then weakly said, "Luo Yan, could you step outside? I want to talk to Yixiu alone."
Luo Yan didn’t know what to say, feeling curious inside, yet dared not stay, so she unwillingly said, "Okay—"
After people left, the Old Madam Jiang finally showed a face full of pain. She struggled to sit up from the bed, Jiang Yixiu wanted to reach out to support her but was stopped by her raising a hand, "Yixiu, mom is sorry to you. From childhood, I’ve always taught you to be an honest person, but I lied to you..."
"That lie has made mom ashad to face you, feeling so guilty."
"Mom—" Jiang Yixiu was sowhat confused, "What exactly are you talking about? Don’t get upset, don’t get upset. How big an issue could it be? It’s okay, it’s okay."
The Old Madam Jiang wasn’t deliberately pretending to be pitiful; it was that she had been having nightmares whenever she slept lately, where a bloody child sought her out, accusing her of lying to his father—
She truly couldn’t take it any longer.
Thinking over and over, it must be Mu Qingxin calling for justice.
Clearly a child of the Jiang Family yet bearing the na of a bastard.
"Yixiu, mom has to tell you sothing, listen and don’t get upset." The Old Madam Jiang said with a sorrowful expression, "Actually, Mu Qingxin’s child isn’t soone else’s, it’s yours, it’s the Jiang Family’s flesh and blood. I’m sorry to that child, I shouldn’t have given such a bad na after that child left—"
"..."
Jiang Yixiu’s mind was "clang clang" terribly, like experiencing an apocalypse, but soon a new world was rebuilt, everything was so vivid, every detail was so wonderful.
The woman’s pale face surfaced in his mind, back then when he asked her, whose child it was?
She said it was the man she loved—
The man she loved.
It turned out she loved him.
"Mom, is this true?" Jiang Yixiu was incredibly excited, an excitent he’d never felt before, yet after the excitent, there was sorrow. If it’s true, then their child is already gone, no more.
The Old Madam Jiang covered her face and wept, nodding continuously, "It’s true, no matter how wrong Qingxin’s child was, she wouldn’t lie to about this, yet I... what I did in the end was truly unworthy of an elder."
"Mom, I’m sorry, it’s my unfilialness." Jiang Yixiu suddenly knelt down with a plop, "I know you will never accept Mu Qingxin, but I can’t forget her, just treat it as humiliating myself. Originally, I planned to co back, listen to you, and marry Luo Yan obediently, but after hearing what you just said, I can no longer deceive myself. I still want that bad woman, and if you refuse to recognize this unfilial son of yours, that’s fine, I’ll bring her along and be filial to you—"
"Mom, I’m sorry—"
The Old Madam Jiang had actually already anticipated this result. She sighed, "Enough, go find her, go!"
