Knowing that these words were hurtful to Xiao Mu, after asking, the couple looked at each other and felt a little guilty.
Xiao Mu, however, had no special reaction and explained their confusion: "Everyone in the world thinks that my mother has passed away.
But in fact, I only found out later that she was still alive.
After leaving the palace, she had been recuperating in the mountains. It was only this year that her health got better. "
Actually...didn't he pass away?
When the Marquis heard the news, he immediately thought of a very important question: "Then, does your father know? Does he know that your mother is still alive in this world?"
As long as they are familiar with King Cheng, they all know his feelings for this lady.
If he knew that his wife had not passed away, he might be so happy!
"Father, he doesn't know yet."
Xiao Mu answered truthfully, and then added: "Please don't tell grandpa yet. If mother agrees to meet him, it won't be too late to tell him."
"That's right," the old lady also said, "If you don't want to meet someone, don't force it. It's been so many years, let it go when it's time to let it go, and show that affectionate thing to whoever you want to see!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Hou immediately objected: "How can this be said to be an act? I think Lao Xiao is quite real! He was so sad about what happened back then!"
"Bullshit!" said the old lady.
"Is he the only one who still has true feelings? Of course, when his wife was still there, he would marry everyone in the house.
For a man like this, if you tell others that he likes the eldest lady, who would believe it? "
The Marquis said: "Didn't the two of them have a special situation back then? There was a misunderstanding between the two of them!
King Cheng also put a lot of thought into marrying his wife! It’s just that his wife can’t see clearly! "
"You're fighting this with me again!" the old lady said angrily.
"I don't care if he is angry or aggrieved. He has married several concubines and given birth to several sons. Isn't it his own will? Can others force him to get married, or can they force him to spend the night?"
"Madam!" Mr. Hou was shocked, "The children are all here! What are you talking about!"
The old lady glanced at Xiao Mu, Ye Luoxin and Su Qiubai who were present, and felt that what she just said was inappropriate, so she snorted and turned around.
"Anyway, don't be such a bad person and let that guy Cheng Wang get involved with his wife again. If I hadn't seen his wife's good character, I wouldn't have agreed to Luo Xin's marriage. If his son had the same virtue as him, I will definitely let my granddaughter come home and live there."
Xiao Mu listened on the side and felt that the words were wrong.
Why are you talking and talking about yourself?
What a disaster!
"Grandma! I..."
Xiao Mu wanted to defend himself.
The old lady waved her hand hurriedly: "Good boy, grandma didn't want to talk about you. You are not even a little bit better than your father."
"alright!"
Su Qiubai also smoothed things over and said: "After all, this is a family matter of the Xiao family. There is no need for us to hurt the harmony of our own family because of other people's family matters!
Xiao Mu, go see your mother. If you need anything, just tell me. "
"Okay, thank you, uncle!" Xiao Mu nodded in agreement.
Jamel Xiao's case will still need to be interrogated for some time.
The emperor did not say that he would be summoned in the past few days.
The next day, Xiao Mu and Ye Luoxin went to the street to buy four kinds of fruits, and then rushed to Zhaoyue Temple in Nanshan.
Zhaoyue Temple is not a big temple in the capital, so not many people come here.
The place they were going to was the only farmhouse next to Zhaoyue Temple.
It is said that the reason why the abbot of Zhaoyue An agreed to build this farmhouse nearby was on the one hand because the owner of the farmhouse was a female benefactor, and on the other hand because the female benefactor donated two shops for the nunnery.
Over the years, Zhao Yue'an has relied on the rent from these two shops to survive.
When Ye Luoxin and Xiao Mu arrived, the ones who opened the door for them were two little girls less than one meter tall.
The two little girls wrapped their heads with soap towels and wore gray nun robes.
Seeing the two of them, the two little girls bent down to salute, and asked in a sweet voice: "My master is not feeling well today and doesn't want to see guests. Is there something wrong with you two?"
Ye Luoxin looked at their soft little faces and felt fond of them. She also knelt down and replied slowly: "We won't disturb you for too long. We just came to say a few words and then leave. Could you please pass them on?" .”
"Then who are you?" a girl asked, tilting her head.
"We are your master's old friends! The one behind," Ye Luoxin pointed at Xiao Mu, "is the person your master has always wanted to see.
If you send a message, she will definitely meet. "
"Okay, you wait here!"
The little girl answered neither humble nor arrogantly.
Then, they both turned around and walked towards the house.
After a while, one of the little girls ran out happily and waved to the two of them from a distance: "The master invites the two guests to come in and talk."
Xiao Mu and Ye Luoxin looked at each other.
Ye Luoxin saw a rare nervous emotion in Xiao Mu's eyes.
She gently held Xiao Mu's fingertips and nodded towards him.
The two of them followed the little girl into the room.
The furnishings in the room are very simple.
The entrance is a small hall with a table and four chairs that show traces of time.
Behind the desk is a plain screen. Looking at the layout, the bedroom should be behind the screen.
Both of them are measured.
After entering the hall, he didn't go further inside.
The little girl got behind the screen.
After a while, a beauty was helped out from behind the screen.
To say she is a beauty is really not an exaggeration at all.
Although the years have carved traces on her face, the woman in front of me has a dignified manner, a refined temperament, and a bit of illness, which makes me pity her even more.
She had no expensive clothes or jewelry on her body.
But Ye Luoxin felt that there was an inviolable nobility in her bones.
"Madam!" Ye Luoxin didn't know how to address her, so she had to call her madam first.
Mrs. Xiao, who was standing opposite, first looked at Ye Luoxin, then at Xiao Mu, then smiled, walked up and gently held Ye Luoxin's arm: "Are you Mu'er's wife? You're welcome, call me. My mother can do it!”
Ye Luoxin looked at Xiao Mu and saw that he had no objection, so she shouted: "Mother!"
"Eh!"
Mrs. Xiao responded softly.
Looking at Xiao Mu, his eyes turned red unconsciously.
