Chapter 50(1/2)
The lights are out.
Because of the injury on her back, Xie Changgeng lay down and lie on his side, facing her back.
The night gradually deepened.
Mu Fulan felt that the person beside her slowly turned over.
A man's hand was placed on her body. The scorching heat in the palm of his palm also clearly penetrated her skin under her palm through her clothes.
Mu Fulan opened her eyes and said in the thick night when they couldn't see each other clearly, "Why don't you have a good rest and take care of your body earlier? What if you bleed again?"
"It's not too late to wait."
Her tone seemed to be telling him what to eat and wear tomorrow.
The man's hand stopped, suddenly opened his five fingers, grabbed her waist as thin as willow branches, and dragged her to his side.
My body suddenly became more and more weak. My weak ribs were pressed down slightly.
The man's heavy body had already covered her body.
A burning breath came to his ears, and Mu Fulan felt a face leaning over and her lips brushed her cheek.
"You don't have to pretend to be kind! If I die like this, you will be happy!" His face pressed against her ears, and he said hatefully as if he gritted his teeth.
Mu Fulan tilted her head slightly and tried to avoid his mouth quietly.
"Then let it go." she said.
He paused, and did not continue, but just lay on her like that.
"...My back is sore and painful...there are bugs biting in the bones...I can't sleep...I've been like this every night recently."
"You're really ruthless."
After a long time, he suddenly heard his hoarse whisper in her ears, as if explaining his actions at this moment, as if he was complaining and complaining.
She was stunned.
In the darkness, she felt a hand fumbled, grabbed her hand, and carried it, wrapping her arm around his waist and back.
"You can help me rub it."
Mu Fulan hesitated, and finally moved his hand to the wound he had stabbed, put his palm on and rubbed it slowly.
His face was buried on the side of her neck, motionless.
Mu Fulan was so stressed that she couldn't breathe well by him. After rubbing her for a while, she touched the shoulder of the man who seemed to be asleep, pushed him and said, "You should lie on the bed..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his head and pressed his mouth against her lips.
Mu Fulan struggled for a few times before giving up. When he let go of his mouth and could speak, he closed his eyes and said, "There is something I want to tell you."
His hands carried a little anxiously and untied her clothes, and he muttered casually.
"I remember what you said in the study today, but there is one thing I want to prove to you. Does my responsibility for being a wife include thanking your family for your long-lasting children?"
His hands stopped.
Mu Fulan waited for a while but didn't hear him answer, saying, "If you allow me, I will take medicine. I think you do the same, but I will ask you first, so that you won't know about it in the future. If I blame me for taking my own initiative and deceiving you."
Her tone was gentle and calm.
The man's shoulders were outlined by the night to form a condensing shadow that was as undulating as a peak.
He finally spoke and said lightly: "You are quite self-aware. If you want to take medicine, destroy your body, and take it yourself, why don't I allow it?"
He paused for a moment, lowered his head slowly, and his lips once again attached to her ears.
"Mu, you are such a little bitch."
"At a young age, I had a child with a wild man. In front of me, I always held it and pretended to be noble."
He opened his mouth coldly and nipped his teeth.
The flesh beads on the earlobe were bitten as if they were about to fall off by him. Mu Fulan felt pain and pushed him hard, struggling.
"Xie Changgeng, you bastard..."
Her body was twisted into a ball at a strange angle by him, unable to move, and could no longer help but be angry, moaned and scolded him.
He smiled dullly, with a strange laugh, and said, "You just knew it? My bastard will ask you to learn it carefully..."
In the darkness, accompanied by the man's heavy breathing, a crisp sound of clothes cracking silk came from the bed tent.
Just then, someone knocked on the door, and the sudden voice of the servant came from outside the door: "Sir, the old lady is here!"
The two people fighting in the bed tent stopped together.
Xie Changgeng seemed to be stunned, his hands immediately relaxed, slowly let go of Mu Fulan, slowed down, turned over from her, lifted the curtain, lit the lights down, put on a random set of clothes, and went out to open the door.
"What did you say just now?"
The servant was holding a candle in his hand. Seeing his ugly face, he hurriedly bowed: "Just now, I ordered me to pass the message. The official from the city gate sent someone to come and said that a group of people came outside the city overnight, saying that it was your mother, sir."
Xie Changgeng's figure was settled, and he turned around and looked at Zhong Lu in the room.
The end of Hai.
"Say I'll go there right away."
He looked solemn, turned around and returned to the inner room, hurriedly put on his clothes and shoes, grabbed his belt, tied it, and strode outward while walking to the door, suddenly as if he was remembering something, he stopped again, turned his head to look at the inner room, came back, and lifted the low hanging tent.
Mu Fulan has long hair and scattered clothes, her jade body is almost naked, and she is still lying on her lie, motionless.
His gaze stopped on her snow-white back, and a look of annoyance flashed in his eyes, pulling up the quilt and covering her.
"They said my mother is here. I'll go and see it first. You can rest for a while. If I really come, wait until I pick her up to the mansion, and you come out and welcome her with me."
He said softly, and after he said that, he turned around and left in a hurry.
He rushed to the city gate. The gate official who was on duty was waiting there. He saw him coming from afar and ran to greet him. He said that there had just been a group of people on the night road outside the city. The old woman claimed to be the mother of the Jiedushi and came from her hometown in Kuizhou thousands of miles away. The gate official did not recognize the people, and it was late at night, so he did not dare to let go, but he did not dare to neglect them. At that time, he invited people in, stayed in the house next to the city gate and sent someone to the Jiedushi's mansion to deliver the news.
Xie Changgeng looked at the house next to the city gate and walked quickly. Before he could enter, he heard complaints coming from inside: "Have you been sending a message? My son is the governor of Hexi, and I also have imperial edicts. I came here to visit my son! If you dare to stop him, you will definitely forgive me when I see my son!"
Xie Changgeng was very familiar with this voice, it was his mother Shen.
"The old lady calmed down. A brother had already rushed to the Jiedushi's Mansion to spread the news."
"Old lady, don't worry. The adults know that you are coming, and they will come to pick you up. After taking the bus all day, your legs and feet are swollen. You sit down and I will squeeze your feet." A young woman's voice was heard.
Xie Changgeng didn't expect that his mother would come here from Xie County thousands of miles away. Hearing her anxious tone, she hurriedly stepped in.
"Mom! My son is late, I'm tired of waiting for you for a long time."
A smile appeared on his face and he walked quickly towards an old woman sitting in the room.
Xie's mother worked hard all the way, and today she had been traveling for half a day. She arrived now. She was tired and tired, and was still blocked here. She was naturally unhappy and was complaining. Suddenly, she saw her son coming in, her eyes lit up, and she stood up.
"Geng'er, you're finally here! These people are actually stopping you and don't let your mother go and find you!"
The doorman and the doorman who followed him showed fear and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed.
Xie Changgeng asked everyone to get up and go out, and stepped forward to support his mother's arm: "Mom, you misunderstood, it's not that they make things difficult for you. They don't recognize you. You came late at night. This is the rule. They just do things according to the rules. Mom, you are doing well at home, why don't you even have a letter? Suddenly, come to me?"
When Xie's mother saw her son coming to greet her, she felt most of her anger and she still complained: "You still said! Don't think about it. You left last year and haven't been at home for a year. In a flash, it's been another year. I, a mother, miss my son, can't come here to see you?"
Xie Changgeng remembered the last time that he had to go back, but he changed his mind halfway and left. He was exhausted from his mother and felt a little guilty. He hurriedly said, "My son is unfilial. Not only is he unable to fulfill his filial piety, but he also exhausted you from traveling thousands of miles. Mom, you are tired, so I will take you back to my place first."
Xie's mother finally got happy, nodded, pointed to the woman beside her and said, "Mom has been here all the time, thanks to Feng'er's careful care, so it's still smooth. Mom is fine, she is so tired, you have to thank her."
Qi Lingfeng looked tired. When Xie Changgeng came in, he was squatting on the ground and rubbing his legs and feet for Xie's mother. At this moment, he stood aside and heard Xie's mother pushing herself and whispered: "I'm not tired. As long as the old lady is fine, I'm fine. In order to see you, my brother-in-law, I've been rushing for a day today. I'm probably exhausted. Brother-in-law, you can pick me up and go back to rest first."
Xie Changgeng had seen her long ago and nodded.
Qiuju was soothing her feet and followed Qi Lingfeng with a gentle voice.
Amao also came, and was ordered by Qiuju all the way, doing this and that. After staying up for several nights, she was really sleepy. Seeing that the person had not come yet, she secretly leaned in the corner and took a nap. She struggled to wake up, rubbed her eyes, bent down at Xie Changgeng, picked up the bag in front of her, muttered that the place was so cold, and followed her out in a daze.
When Xie’s mother came here, she was surrounded by these people, and there were also easy-going servants. All the talented people were left at the city gate.
Xie Changgeng helped his mother into the carriage, asked everyone to come with him, and took him back to the Jiedu Mansion.
...
The maid next door had been awakened by the movement of Xie Changgeng going out. He knew that he had left and came to serve.
Mu Fulan went over and saw Xier sleeping heavily, so she told the maid to take care of her carefully and not to wake him up.
Soon, the servant came and bowed and said, "The governor brought the old lady here, and asked the master to go there now."
The Jiedushi's mansion was very large and there were many vacant courtyards. The manager had already called the servants of the mansion, and he quickly cleaned up the place for Xie's mother to settle down.
Xie Changgeng led his mother in, asked everyone to withdraw, helped her sit down, and said, "Mom, you came suddenly, and I have no preparations here. I feel wronged at night and resting in this room. I see what else is missing. Tomorrow, she will prepare everything for my mother."
Xie's mother was very happy at first and said everything was fine, asking her son not to bother about these troubles. Suddenly, she heard the word "Mu" and was stunned: "Geng'er, which Mu family? The Mu family you married?"
Xie Changgeng nodded: "Yes, she didn't know you were here just now. Now we're here."
Xie's mother was surprised and frowned and said, "Last time you came home, didn't you say she wouldn't go back and stay in Changsha? Why was she here?"
Xie Changgeng knew that his mother didn't like the woman and said, "She was just here and her son picked her up. There is something else. Mom, you don't have to worry about this."
Xie's mother worked tirelessly and came here from Xie County with people from all over the world. Although she wanted to see her son, she also had other thoughts. She suddenly learned that the Mu girl was also here, which was a big disappointment. She heard her son say that he took it over, and she couldn't say anything for a while. When she was stunned, she heard Amao cheering from surprise outside the door.
