Ji Wenzhan immediately explained to Ji Wuhen that he and Lu Qingtang were just friends and not what he imagined.
Now her identity cannot be told to Ji Wuhen, otherwise we don't know what will happen. The most important thing now is to determine whether Lu Qingtang and herself have the same mother.
Maybe she picked Lu Qingtang up, or maybe she adopted him, or maybe Lu Qingtang had nothing to do with her at all.
Ji Wenzhan was helpless. He didn't expect Ji Wuhen to doubt himself like this. He was not a fool. After some explanations and assurances, Ji Wuhen temporarily believed it.
However, something went wrong again on Lu Qingtang's side.
Because of Ji Wuhen's interruption, Ji Wenzhan had no chance to speak clearly with Lu Qingtang. Lu Qingtang thought Ji Wenzhan was playing tricks on him and refused to go out several times to find her.
So Ji Wenzhan began to wait in the garden.
Lu Qingtang doesn't go out, but the three children always go out to play. Having children is convenient.
Finally, one afternoon, Ji Wenzhan blocked Lu Qingtang in the garden again.
Lu Qingtang really couldn't stand him, so he said bluntly: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, if you have something to say, hurry up, and don't pester me all day long."
There are some things she actually wants to explain clearly to him, and she will have to say them sooner or later anyway.
The two of them sat on the stage in the garden, watching Sumukoudan play hide-and-seek with the babies.
After brewing for many days, Ji Wenzhan still didn't know how to talk to her. He just reached out and took out the torn page from the medical book and handed it to Lu Qingtang.
Lu Qingtang reached out and took the paper, unfolded it and saw that it was stained with oil. He couldn't help but frown, "I knew it was Mo Bao who stole the shortbread for you to eat."
She said, folded the page and put it in her sleeve, then took it back and copied the rest.
After putting away the page, she looked at Ji Wenzhan again, "My... mother died when she was giving birth to me. She was bleeding heavily."
After thinking for many days, Lu Qingtang decided to say it bluntly. After all, he hasn't seen his mother for so many years. Although he may have fantasies, he is just deceiving himself.
It's better to say it directly and cheerfully than to drag it out.
Ji Wenzhan was stunned immediately, and his obsidian eyes turned red instantly. He stood up and turned his back, then turned to look at her, as if he was hesitant to speak.
He sat back down, covering his face with his hands, his shoulders trembling, and the faint crying made Lu Qingtang not feel a lump in his throat.
She stretched out her hand and patted his shoulder gently, "It's okay, it's all over. We have passed the time when we need a mother."
Ji Wenzhan's cries were still very suppressed, and it was obvious that he was very aggrieved. This cry was not only a memorial to his deceased mother, but also a way to vent the grievances he had hidden in his heart over the years.
After a long while, he raised his head. His apricots were slightly swollen, his face was stained with tears, and even his nose was red.
Lu Qingtang took out the handkerchief from his pocket and handed it over, "Wipe it off."
Ji Wenzhan whispered thank you, took the handkerchief and wiped his tears, and then said, "I heard that people in Yanling pay great attention to concubines. Without mother's protection, your life will probably be difficult, right?"
Lu Qingtang shook his head and smiled very freely, "It's okay, it's all over."
Ji Wenzhan also smiled and lowered his head with a sad look on his face.
He did not expect that his mother, who had been waiting for him for twenty years, would die in a foreign country like this. What made him even more unexpected was that the woman he met unexpectedly turned out to be his sister.
But even though they usually talked a lot, both of them were silent at this moment, not knowing what to say.
After a long while, Ji Wenzhan spoke again. He said a little guiltily: "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you last time. I shouldn't have said that to you."
Lu Qingtang turned back and glanced at him, "Oh, I haven't forgotten it. The prince's memory is not bad, but I wonder if you have forgotten something I said."
Ji Wenzhan said blankly: "Which sentence?"
Lu Qingtang stood up and looked at him with a cold face, "I said you would regret what you said that day. Do you regret it now?"
Ji Wenzhan's face was stunned, and his jaw almost dropped in shock.
Lu Qingtang snorted coldly, rolled his eyes at him, and said to the three babies, "It's time for us to go back. Mom will make shortcakes for you."
Mo Yue was the first to rush over and open his arms for a hug. Mo Mo and Mo Bao also came forward and rejoiced, shouting that they wanted to eat it immediately.
Lu Qingtang bent down and picked up Mo Yue, turned around and smiled disdainfully at Ji Wenzhan, then turned around and went back to his residence with Sumukou Dan.
Ji Wenzhan froze on the spot for a long time, and finally came to his senses.
He muttered, "This girl is quite vindictive. It seems she needs some coaxing."
…
Back in the front yard, Ji Wenzhan went to accompany Ji Wuhen for lunch.
It was still a quarter of an hour away, and Ji Wuhen was practicing swordplay in the courtyard. In his forties, he is still tall and strong, but a little thinner than he was twenty years ago. The long sword danced wildly in his hand, sometimes gracefully, sometimes as angry as a rainbow.
After a while, Ji Wuhen stopped. Just as Ji Wenzhan was about to step forward to say hello, he saw Xu Lingshu stepping forward to wipe Ji Wuhen's sweat.
Ji Wuhen obviously ducked back, Xu Lingshu was a little embarrassed, and Ji Wenzhan was even more embarrassed at this time.
He didn't know whether to step forward and speak, or leave silently.
If it were in the past, he would definitely go forward and talk to Ji Wuhen by himself, directly ignoring Xu Lingshu. But just now he learned that his mother was dead, and he instantly felt a little pitiful for his father.
He had been thinking about his mother for so many years, but he didn't want to be married and have children. If he found out, I don't know how sad it would be, but it was still his mother, and Ji Wenzhan couldn't say anything.
I just don't know how to explain all this to Ji Wuhen, so I'll leave it like that for now and wait until I have a chance to talk.
The next day, Ji Wenzhan went to the street and bought some jewelry and some children's toys. In the evening, he waited for them in the small garden again, and sure enough, Lu Qingtang appeared with the babies.
Still the same as yesterday, Lu Qingtang was sitting on the steps of the garden, while Su Mu and Kou Dan played hide and seek with their three babies. Ji Wenzhan distributed the toys he bought to the three babies. Seeing their happy faces, he felt happy from the bottom of his heart.
Ever since he was a child, he had always been alone, and he was not very harmonious with his cousins. It was not that he had never imagined having brothers and sisters, but it was just a thought.
Now I not only have a younger sister, but also three cute and well-behaved nephews, which is really an unexpected surprise.
The three babies went to play hide-and-seek with Kodan Sumu. Ji Wenzhan sat next to Lu Qingtang. He took out the hairpin in his arms and handed it to Lu Qingtang.
He smiled and said, "I bought whatever I wanted, here you go."
Lu Qingtang glanced at it, then turned his gaze away, the corners of his mouth rising involuntarily.
