Chapter 222 Finale: Beitang Yi's Choice
Just when he was worried about not being able to find an excuse, Mu Lianzhi happily returned home, pulling a large and small cart.
Because of the convenience of transportation, this time, the stop was near the south gate of the Marquis' Mansion. Upon receiving the news, the two elders of the Mu family went out early with their children to greet them.
"Mom and Dad, I'm back."
At the door, Mu Lianzhi greeted her and took her brother into her arms:
"Hey, Qing'er, why are you fat again? Do you miss your sister?"
Holding the baby in her arms, Mu Lianzhi happily teased him. Children are always inexplicably lovable. As she was thinking about it, she suddenly thought of the word "Huaiwen". Her heart suddenly ached:
Nian Qing? Nian Qing.
Did his parents give him this name out of longing for her?
Their love for their daughter comes from the bottom of their hearts.
Just as she was thinking, there was a sudden noise. Mu Lianzhi turned her head and saw Sang Xi running out of the door next door, yelling, with the maids and servants chasing after her:
"My child, my child..."
"Auntie, auntie, calm down, don't be like this."
"My child, Wen'er, give me back my child!"
Before Mu Lianzhi could react, Sang Xi suddenly rushed over with a few big steps, reaching out to grab the brother in her arms. Mu Lianzhi turned her back reflexively. Almost at the same time, the maids and servants pulled her down, and the people from the Marquis' Mansion also caught up. However, a group of people almost held down the mad Sang Xi until the housekeeper appeared and slapped her in the face:
"Mrs. Sang, have you had enough of the trouble? Do you want to bring disgrace to the Marquis' Mansion?"
"You don't think about yourself or the young master? If you're gone, and you provoke me again, who will find you a big master and raise a little master?"
"The servants are all looking for you. There is hope only if you are well."
Afterwards, the butler slapped himself a few times in public, clearly apologizing for his crime. Because of his actions, Sang Xi calmed down visibly, and was soon carried away by the maids from the Marquis' Mansion.
The butler turned around, apologized, and hurriedly left with his people.
The noisy and chaotic entrance of the Marquis' Mansion returned to calm in an instant, as if nothing had happened. From afar, Mu Lianzhi seemed to see a gorgeous pink figure flash by.
At this time, Madam Mu also came to her senses and stepped forward to take the child back:
"This child is not light now. Is he tired?"
“Let’s talk after we go in first!”
She had noticed that Mu Lianzhi brought back a lot of luggage, and it didn't seem like she was visiting her parents, but rather moving. She also noticed that she came back alone, so Mrs. Mu couldn't help but show worry and bitterness on her face.
Mu Lianzhi didn't explain much. After giving some instructions, he helped his mother into the house.
……
After entering the house, Mu Lianzhi did not hide her situation. She told her parents the truth, told them about her plans, and asked about the situation next door:
"Mother, do you know what happened in the Marquis' Mansion?"
She had just left, why did the situation in the Marquis' Mansion change so drastically?
"You, do you still care about others?"
After glancing at her, and unable to bear her gossipy eyes, Madam Mu told her what she knew:
"It was said that her previous child was sick or something, and she went out and never came back, as if she was robbed or lost. The concubine gave birth to another child, but she probably didn't take care of it. Now that she couldn't hide it anymore, she revealed it."
"It happened two days before and after your wedding."
"What mother wouldn't be heartbroken and crazy after losing her child? She's already worried and angry, but due to the complicated relationship, no one in the Marquis' Mansion cares about her. Your ex-eldest brother is not a good guy either. I heard that he fell in love with someone else outside and has been secretly raising the child for some time."
"I don't know who sent her or which brothel she was from, but they bumped into each other just when they were enjoying the new life. Not only did he not help, he brought her into his house and even assaulted her."
"Your former sister-in-law is eager to watch the show. No normal person can bear the double blow. Alas."
Pointing to her head, Madam Mu shook her head and sighed:
"My daughter has grown up. It's a worry if she gets married, and it's also a worry if she doesn't get married. It's a worry if she can't get married, and it's also worrying if she gets married, Zhizhi..."
Thinking of her marriage, Mrs. Mu felt heavy-hearted.
After standing up, Mu Lianzhi walked up to her and patted her shoulders:
"Mom, do you want your daughter to be like her, go crazy for a man and bring disaster to the next generation, or to endure humiliation and compromise for the rest of her life? Or do you want your daughter to be happy and free alone?"
With just one sentence, Madam Mu was speechless again.
"So, mother, since we don't have to worry about food or clothes, why do we need others' approval? It is a great honor to admit one's mistakes and correct them. A blessing in disguise, isn't it?"
As he spoke, Mu Lianzhi raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the Marquis' Mansion, then pointed at himself, the meaning was self-evident.
Her previous choice was wrong, so she should change it. Now that she has lost something, she has lost it. In the end, people can only rely on themselves.
Mrs. Mu didn't say anything else. At noon, a sumptuous lunch was served and the family happily had a reunion dinner.
Mu Lianzhi's marriage had already attracted much attention. In addition, she returned home alone and there was a commotion in the Marquis' Mansion in the morning. Before noon, the news that she had become an abandoned wife after her marriage spread like wildfire and began to ferment.
……
Beitang Yi arrived in the afternoon, bringing with him the return gifts prepared by the housekeeper, also pulled by a horse-drawn carriage, in a grand procession. As soon as he entered the door, he knelt down and admitted his fault, with an extremely high attitude.
Mu Lianzhi was woken up from her nap. When she saw Beitang Yi, she was not actually unhappy, but her heart was beating fast.
The two of them looked at each other, each more nervous than the other. Mu Lianzhi was afraid that he would blame her for arguing with his grandmother, while Beitang Yi was afraid that she would be angry because he broke his promise during her wedding.
He came close to her, his eyes and voice were all gentle:
"Zhizhi...Madam~"
He said the last two words in a very low voice. Because it was the first time he called out that there was an outsider, he couldn't help blushing and his heart beating fast. His men even secretly tugged at Mu Lianzhi's sleeve, and his attitude of begging for mercy was obvious.
Mu Lianzhi felt it, and felt relieved. She glanced at him, raised her hand and pinched his wrist. It was just a joke, and she didn't really use much strength. Unexpectedly, Beitang Yi's face turned pale and he groaned:
"Hmm~"
"You are hurt?"
Seeing blood seeping out of his white sleeves, this time, it was Mu Lianzhi's turn to change his expression:
"You're injured, but you're still making trouble? Are you dumb? Dad, Dad—"
Knowing that it was definitely not a minor injury that could have caused his expression to change, he hurriedly helped him back to the house while scolding her.
After helping him take off his clothes and unwrapping the gauze, Mu Lianzhi discovered a scratch on his arm. It was not deep, and there was some black color on both sides of the wound as if it were burnt, with a red line in the middle, which looked a bit strange.
Has this been dealt with?
At this time, Mu Lao's scream was heard:
"A connection with the ghost palace?"
