Chunhua quickly brought out the tea.
The old lady tilted her head and refused to drink.
Seeing that persuasion was useless, Ye Luoxin took out the osmanthus candy Xiao Mu bought for her from her pocket, handed it to the old lady and said, "If you drink the herbal tea obediently, I will give you the candy."
"Then if I fall asleep after drinking the medicine, you are not allowed to leave." The old lady was a little worried.
Ye Luoxin thought about what Dongmei just said. The old man would forget these things after falling asleep.
So she made a promise without any burden: "If I don't leave, I won't leave until my grandson leaves."
Only then did the old lady drink the medicinal tea.
After drinking a cup of tea, the old lady grimaced in pain. It wasn't until Ye Luoxin stuffed the sweet-scented osmanthus candy into her mouth that she smiled with satisfaction.
After a while, the old man started to yawn. Before falling asleep, she held Ye Luoxin's hand tightly and said, "I'm really sleepy. When you and I wake up, let's go together!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old man fell into sleep.
Ye Luoxin finally pulled her wrist out of the old man's hand.
She also held a rabbit fur purse in her hand. After thinking about it, she put the purse next to the old man's pillow, covered the old man with a quilt, and then got up and left.
The four girls Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong saw her off together. When they walked to the door, Dongmei said to Ye Luoxin embarrassedly: "Girl, I'm really sorry just now. It was because I was too impatient that I spoke rashly to the girl."
Ye Luoxin sighed: "It doesn't matter, but fortunately I have a good temper. If you meet others, I suggest you not to be too reckless."
Dongmei blushed and nodded.
The matter of worshiping Buddha was interrupted just like that.
Ye Luoxin did not intend to enter the hall again, and pulled Xiao Mu to leave.
Xiao Mu looked at her red wrist and frowned.
"Does it hurt?"
He held Ye Luoxin's wrist with his big hand and pressed it gently.
Ye Luoxin smiled at him: "It doesn't hurt!"
"Why do you want to help her?" Xiao Mu asked.
If Ye Luoxin was unwilling, Xiao Mu could immediately step forward to stop her, so that her wrist would not be held for so long.
Ye Luoxin blinked and said softly: "I just feel that the old lady is quite pitiful. She regarded me as her own daughter. She seemed very happy at that time, so I just wanted to make her happy for a while."
"Next time, even if you want to help others, don't hurt yourself!" Xiao Mu still couldn't let go.
Ye Luoxin stretched out her arm in front of him: "Look, it's just a little red, not injured, and the old lady didn't grab it hard."
Seeing her indifferent look, Xiao Mu had no choice but to nod.
The two of them went down the mountain, found the bullock cart and hurried home.
In the temple, the old lady fell asleep and woke up after a while.
"Where's Ruyu? Where did you hide my Ruyu?" She asked immediately after opening her eyes.
The four maids' hearts sank at the same time.
When the old lady admitted to the wrong person in the past, as long as she took medicine, she would wake up and know that she had admitted the wrong person.
Why are you still looking for someone when you wake up this time?
Could it be that the old lady's delusion has become more serious?
They quickly told the accompanying housekeeper about this.
Butler Su Zhong immediately came to the old lady's room.
"Old lady, do you still recognize the little one?" He stood beside the old lady's bed and asked respectfully.
"Su Zhong, I think you are getting more and more courageous. Do you dare to test me?"
When Su Zhong heard this, he immediately broke out in cold sweat: "I don't dare, I don't dare."
He secretly looked at the girls: Isn't the old lady quite sober?
Several girls also looked panicked: I don’t know? Never encountered this situation before! Could it be that the old lady's condition has escalated again? Is it time to change the dressing again?
No one dared to speak out.
But when they didn't say anything, the old lady became even more anxious: "Hurry up and find my Yuru. It's been ten years and I finally saw my daughter again. If you dare to lose her again, give it all to me." Get out of Su’s house.”
"Don't worry, old madam, we will definitely find it!" Butler Su's back was soaked.
Who knows where the people I met in this barren mountain came from! But he had to lie to appease his wife first.
"I give you three days. Within three days, you must bring people to me!
Now I want to find the abbot. He dared to make fake corpses to deceive people. I want to ask who gave him the courage! "
"..." The housekeeper wanted to say something else, but the old lady had already left the dormitory in a rage.
He could only sigh.
The old lady has always said that no one dares to mess with her.
Obviously the abbot is going to be in trouble!
The old lady walked to the door where the abbot was practicing meditation and kicked open the door without saying a word.
The young monk who was chanting sutras on the futon immediately wanted to go up and question him.
However, Master Mingran stopped him and said, "Amitabha! Donor, I have something important to ask the poor monk!"
"Song Xiaonian, you bald donkey, don't pretend to be a master to me, I ask you, what did you hide about my daughter's family back then!"
When the young monk heard this, he was surprised that this female benefactor was so aggressive and even knew the abbot's lay name. He immediately looked at the old lady a few more times.
Master Mingran looked embarrassed.
He waved his hand and told the young monks to go down. Then he stood up, bowed deeply to the old lady, and said, "Mrs. Lin, why did you suddenly lose your temper?"
The old lady’s surname is Lin.
She is the old lady of the Marquis of Dingding in the capital.
Before Master Mingran became a monk, he happened to be a guard in the Ding'an Marquis Mansion.
"Let me ask you, when something happened to my daughter and son-in-law on their way to Beijing, were you responsible for collecting the bodies for burial?" Mrs. Lin asked.
"Exactly."
"Have you examined the body and found that it is indeed my daughter's family?"
"really!"
"nonsense!"
The old lady was furious and knocked the chessboard over on the table.
Master Mingran was not anxious or annoyed, and said: "Back then, the eldest lady's characteristics were all right, and so was my uncle's.
This point was confirmed by the nun beside Madam after she came to Beijing. "
When the old lady heard this, all her hopes fell to the bottom.
Yes, it wasn’t just mama who confirmed it.
She herself once took advantage of the darkness and secretly ran to inspect the body.
There was a red birthmark on her daughter's left shoulder. It was only after I saw the birthmark that I was convinced that my daughter was no longer alive.
It's just that it's been too long, and she has been confused over the years, and has forgotten all these things.
Now that she knew it, she remembered it.
But why? Why did she see someone who looked exactly like her daughter today?
Could it be Yuru's reincarnation?
No, even if she is reincarnated, her Yuru will not grow so big in ten years.
It seems that there is really a mistake.
Just when he was feeling disheartened, Master Mingran spoke again: "Since Madam said this, I actually have a guess in my mind."
"What speculation?" The old lady no longer had the arrogance she had just now.
“When the lady’s body was found, she was still holding the body of a child tightly in her arms.
Everyone thought that the body was that of the young lady.
But the head of the corpse was missing at that time and could not be found anywhere on the mountain.
The old man was thinking, is that corpse really the young lady? "
