Chapter 186 Reality and Fantasy

The moment she saw Mrs. Zhao collapsed, Xu Jiao really regretted it.If she had known this earlier, why would she have to argue with her, why would it be better to follow her?

It's a pity that there is no medicine for regret in this world.

Xu Jiao suppressed a sigh, and said softly to the sleeping Mrs. Zhao, "Mother, when you wake up, whether you want to beat or scold, it's up to you, I'll take it, there's no difference." Can you hear these words.

Xu Jiao dimmed her eyes, got up and picked up the basin of cold water, before she could take a step, she saw Mrs. Zhao who was sleeping slowly opened her eyes.She couldn't help being overjoyed, she hurriedly put down the basin, leaned forward, and said softly, as if she was afraid of frightening her, "Mom, are you awake?"

"Ajiao?" Mrs. Zhao called her, holding the bed with her hands, and was about to get up, Xu Jiao hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and stuffed a soft pillow behind her to make her sit more comfortably.

"What's wrong with me?" Mrs. Zhao suddenly asked, causing Xu Jiao to stop, and looked at her with a little hesitation, but who knew that the next sentence made her eyes widen suddenly, and the emotion in her eyes was filled with the word horror It is not enough to describe, "Look at you being so careful, am I sick? Since I am sick, where is your father?"

Xu Jiao stared fixedly at Mrs. Zhao, unable to speak for a while.

Mrs. Zhao didn't wait for her answer for a long time, she raised her head suddenly, and said with a frown, "I ask you, where is your father? You child, why are you in a daze."

Xu Jiao rolled his throat a few times, and under the urging of Mrs. Zhao's eyes, he struggled to utter two words, "Father." After a pause, he laughed for a moment, and said in a brisk tone, "Isn't mother sick and confused? Father Didn’t he go out on a trip, saying that he wants to travel all over the world, famous rivers and beautiful rivers, and paint all the beautiful scenery in the world? He is not at home.” When Xu Jiao said this, his eyes did not blink, and he stared nervously at Mrs. Zhao face.

Mrs. Zhao frowned slightly, and after a while, she snorted softly, and said with a slight complaint in her tone, "Your father is good at everything, but he is an idiot. When it comes to painting, he doesn't care about anything." Just like that, leaving us mother and daughter behind, he would be happy alone. But, Ajiao." Mrs. Zhao stretched out her hand towards Xu Jiao.

Xu Jiao hurriedly handed her her hand, she shook Xu Jiao's hand, raised her eyes and smiled at Xu Jiao, and said softly and calmly, "Don't blame your father, the first time my mother met your father, He is a painting idiot. He is the most dazzling when he is immersed in the art of painting. However, you should also write to urge him. You can’t wait until you get married, but he, the father, will not come to send his daughter to marry. ?”

Xu Jiao's throat choked, and when Mrs. Zhao looked over suspiciously, she couldn't control the turmoil in her heart anymore, she raised her hand to hug Mrs. Zhao tightly, and the tears in her eyes couldn't help rolling down anymore .

Mrs. Zhao felt the wetness around her neck, and she was taken aback, "What's wrong with this child? But what wronged you?"

"No." Xu Jiao said in a muffled voice, "I just don't want to get married, and I don't want to leave my mother either."

Mrs. Zhao was stunned, then laughed, raised her hand and patted her shoulder lightly, and comforted her, "Silly boy, it's only natural for boys to get married and girls to get married. We don't want you too, but if Keeping you by my side, you should blame us in the future. Don't worry, mother will definitely choose a marriage that suits you. You are the apple of my eye and your father's, and you will definitely not be wronged in the slightest. "

Xu Jiao didn't speak, but leaned on Mrs. Zhao's shoulder, and slowly closed her eyes.Immersed in the sweet dreams she wove, Mrs. Zhao is happy, right?That being the case, let her stay in the dream forever!

When Negative Xue came in, Xu Jiao put his index finger on his lips, and gestured for her to silence her.Seeing Mrs. Zhao who was asleep again on the couch, Neg Xue held back her breath and stood aside.

Xu Jiao tucked the quilt for Mrs. Zhao, and then walked out of the room with Ling Xue.

When he got outside, Lingxue said softly, "The old man and the old lady, as well as the elder and the gentleman are all here, and they are waiting in the flower hall right now." Sure enough, except for Jing Shan, all the Jing family members were present.But with Jing Shan's personality of not doing enough to accomplish anything, it is reasonable for Jing Shangshu not to take her with her for such a big event.

Xu Jiao turned his head to look at the faint yellow candlelight in the room, and hummed softly, "Go and take Qinniang and Banlan with you, let's go there."

It was already dawn, but there was not a single sound in the huge flower hall.

Uncle Hai brought people to guard the outside, and Lingxue and Hongying also stopped at the door, Xu Jiao took Qinniang and Banlan inside.Looking up, he saw Jing Qin standing in the middle of the hall.Although his robes were a little wrinkled after a night of tossing, but his calm attitude made people ignore his attire, and still feel that he is still Jing Erlang of Zhilan Yushu.

Sensing Xu Jiao's arrival, Jing Qin glanced over with a pair of dark eyes, and the two of them looked at each other, seeing that each other was safe, they retracted each other.

Xu Jiao had already crouched down, bowing to Jing Shangshu and Mrs. Wu who were in the main seat.

Before he fully bowed down, Jing Shangshu raised his hand, "You don't need to be too polite."

Xu Jiao was not pretentious, so he avoided the ceremony, stood up straight, and glanced up.But I saw that Jing Shangshu and Mrs. Wu seemed to have aged a lot overnight, especially Jing Shangshu, his usual good-natured appearance had completely disappeared, and his usual energy seemed to have dissipated, even his straight shoulders They were all collapsed, except for a pair of eyes, which were still in good spirits, and turned their heads to glance at Xu Jiao.

Xu Jiao hurriedly lowered her eyes, peeping or something, even if she had a thick skin like her, she would feel a little uncomfortable if she was caught.

However, Jing Shangshu obviously didn't have the intention to pursue her. "Girl, you sent someone to report the news, right?" Jing Shangshu took out a sleeve arrow from his wide sleeve.

Xu Jiao lowered her eyes, acquiescing.

Jing Shangshu sighed, "You've done a good job, I'm on behalf of the Jing family, thank you." As he spoke, he retracted the sleeve arrow and bowed to Xu Jiao's long body.

Xu Jiao didn't dare to accept his gift, so she hurriedly turned sideways to get out of the way.

However, this time, Master Jing, Mrs. Yan and Jing Duo all changed their expressions in surprise, but Mrs. Wu and Jing Qin remained calm.

Jing Shangshu straightened up, his eyes fell on Qin Niang behind Xu Jiao, and his voice became cold, "When did your wife get this thought? I thought time was the cure for everything, she came back this time , I also feel that she is much more sensible, and when I talked to the old lady in private, I was very comforted, but who knows that she is really stubborn and hurts others and herself. But since you know it, you are not good at dissuading it , It's really hateful."

"Forgive me, old lady." Niang Qin knelt down with a plop, and pressed her forehead to the ground, "The maid also wants to persuade, but madam. The old lady doesn't know. After the madam arrived in Huiyang, her condition fluctuated from good to bad. Later, young lady, she fell ill. It's getting worse, and I hate the Jing family even more. But the old man, the servant girl dare not stop."
