Fight the Giants

  Chapter 649 Passed away

   I don’t know what Baguio told Zhang Jie, anyway, Zhang Jie didn’t make trouble anymore after returning home.

  Before, I ran to the gate of Xianglanyuan every day, yelling and cursing. Tired of scolding, he asked someone to move a chair for him to sit on and scold. Anyway, just don't go.

  Huo Xi ignored him. The servants in the yard ignored him, and they walked back and forth from the door as if they hadn't seen him.

   Zhang Zhang Fu heard about it, and came to persuade him, but he scolded him, saying that this is the Duke's mansion, his father's home, his home, not the second and third bedroom! Zhang Zhangfu was so angry that he didn't care about him.

   I didn't expect to go to the East Palace, but it stopped.

   Two days later, Zhang Biyao sent someone to look for Huo Xi.

   "Miss, Mrs. Concubine Zhang begs you to intercede, she is very grateful."

  Zhang Biyao wanted to go to Meihua Mountain to see Mrs. Wu, but Zhang Fu sent someone to stop her, and the mother and daughter did not see her. Zhang Biyao had no choice but to beg Huo Xi.

Huo Xi thought for a while, then nodded and agreed: "Go back and tell Concubine Zhang that I'm not the one who stopped her, and it's not me who made the decision not to let her see. But I'm willing to give it a try. Please set a time for her, and I'll send someone to bring her siblings Go and see Mrs. Wu."

   "Thank you Miss."

  The next day, Huo Xi asked Tayue to lead Baguio and Zhang Jie to Meihua Mountain.

  Plum Blossom Mountain is already covered with greenery.

  But Wu's heart was completely ashamed. She knew she couldn't survive.

   These days, no matter whether she scolds, yells, speaks softly, or lowers her figure to beg, Zhang Fu is unmoved. Even if Xie'er and Yao'er were moved out, not only for the sake of the husband and wife, but also for the sake of the two children, she was spared.

   And Zhang Fu only said that he would take good care of the two children.

  Wu was desperate.

  The whole person is visibly sluggish, like a dehydrated flower, or like the dead leaves swirling in the wind on the treetops, about to be crushed into mud.

  When I couldn't fall asleep, I curled up in the corner of the couch, thinking about the experience of this half of my life.

  If I hadn't left She County, didn't go to Beijing, and didn't meet the Duke, would my life be different? Or be her concubine well, don't pinch the tip and be strong, don't think about things that don't belong to her, will the ending be different.

  If life could happen again...she would definitely not repeat this path. She will definitely plan well.

"Mother!"

  Ms. Wu thought she had heard it wrong, so she turned her head to look in a daze, and saw that it was indeed the two sons and daughters.

  Baguio and Zhang Jie also rushed towards her, and the mother and son hugged each other and cried.

   "Mother, how did you become like this?"

  Zhang Biyao stroked Wu's messy hair with his hands, tears fell more and more fiercely. It's only half a month's work, and my mother is so old that there are gray hairs on the sideburns.

  "Mother." Zhang Jie leaned in her arms, crying and unwilling to get up.

  Ms. Wu held the hands of her two children, and looked at them inch by inch, crying as if she couldn't see enough.

   "Xie'er, don't cry anymore, mother has something to say to you."

  Looking at her young and ignorant son, Wu's heart felt like a knife was twisting.

   Then Baguio insisted: "You have to be good in the East Palace, and your younger brother will be handed over to you in the future, and you need to take good care of him. From now on, only your siblings will be the closest people in this world."

  Zhang Biyao cried and nodded: "I will. I will watch Xie Er."

   "There is a box in the dark cabinet on the mother's bed, where there are bank notes and the house deed and land deed of the shop and Zhuangzi..." Mrs. Wu made the final confession to her two children.

   "The silver ticket plus silver is more than 110,000 taels, and mother will give you another 50,000 taels..."

   "I don't want it, give it to my brother."

   "You heard from your mother that you haven't gained a firm foothold in the East Palace yet, and you have some money on you so you can spend it everywhere. Only when you are well can you protect your brother."

  Mother still couldn't let go of Xie Er. Zhang Biyao cried and nodded.

Wu smiled and stroked her head: "You are more sensible, and my mother is very pleased. I leave all the jewelry in the mother's room to you, and give your grandparents 10,000 taels of silver. You send someone to take them to your mother. Let them stop staying in the capital and live a good life in Zhuangzi. In the future, your siblings will visit them from time to time and help mother take care of them."

  Both Zhang Biyao and Zhang Jie nodded in agreement.

   "Leave the rest to Xie'er. I'm afraid Xie'er won't be able to win the title, but your father...he loves Xie'er and won't leave Xie'er alone. No matter what, Xie'er has a share of the wealth in the mansion..."

  Ms. Wu burst into tears, her son shouldn't end up like this.

  Her Xie'er is only eleven years old, without the protection of his mother, he is nothing in the high courtyard.

  Thinking that only his son will live in the mansion in the future, Wu is so painful that he can't breathe.

   "Mother!" "My son, what will you do in the future!"

  The three mother and son cried uncontrollably.

  Zhang Fu stood with his back on his back not far from the door, raised his head, blinked his eyes, and raised his legs to leave.

  Zhang Biyao and Zhang Xie went down the mountain before sunset, no matter how reluctant they were, it was impossible for Zhang Biyao to spend the night outside. Wu didn't leave any excuses either.

  After the two children left, Mrs. Wu tidied up her emotions, changed into new clothes, asked someone to cook a table of vegetarian food, boiled a pot of wine, and asked someone to call Zhang Fu.

   The husband and wife are seated one on the left and one on the right.

   Didn't take a few mouthfuls of food, but drank two pots of wine.

   "Master, I know I won't survive. Before I leave, I want to ask you to take care of my two children."

   "You don't need to say this. Yao'er and Xie'er are my own flesh and blood, and I will love them well."

   "The concubine knows that the master loves children, but the master is not only their two children, but I only hope that the master can take care of them for the sake of losing their mother."

  A child who lost his mother? His child, who lost his mother, is only Yao'er reconciling with Xie'er.

   "Don't worry, I will raise Xie'er well and take care of Gu Yaoer in the future."

   "With the words of the master, the concubine can rest assured." He poured a glass of wine for Zhang Fu, and poured a glass for himself.

   "My concubine toasts you again."

   After the two drank it dry, Mrs. Wu began to recall the days of these years, recalling the day when she first met Zhang Fu...

"At that time, the concubine had just entered the mansion and looked at the handsome and handsome master, and the concubine couldn't take her eyes away... and saw the master supporting the pregnant Li Shi, with a gentle face, I thought to myself, if the master can do this For me, I am willing to die immediately..."

  Zhang Fu did not speak.

  He is not a man with a heart of stone. Although Wu entered his life in that way, he didn't like her, but she gave birth to him and lived by his side for more than ten years. He couldn't do it even if he saw her going to die. indifferent.

   The two drank until the moon was in the sky.

  After Zhang Fu left, Mrs. Wu sat there for a while.

  It wasn't until the sky turned white that he brought a basin of water, cleaned his face and body, and cleaned himself up carefully in front of the mirror.

   Unscrew a hairpin, pour out a piece of spice from it, light it and put it in the incense burner.

   Then close clothes and lie on the bed.

  When my mind became more and more chaotic, the experiences of these years passed in my mind like running water until they disappeared.

   Wu Shi Ruizhu sighed, there are so many unfinished business, her son, she can't see him grow up, marry a wife and have children.

  So many, so many regrets.

  Mrs. Wu slowly closed her eyes. A tear fell from the corner of his eye and disappeared on the pillow.
