into the bosom

Chapter 334

The person on the ground is none other than Mrs. Zhao.

Xu Jiao screamed with a pale face, rushed over, and hastily picked him up from the ground.

Mrs. Zhao was stabbed in the stomach, blood gurgled out from there, and flowed all over the floor, her skirt was soaked in blood, her face was pale, as if she had lost consciousness.

"Mother, mother, wake up!" Xu Jiao shouted repeatedly.

On the other side, He Lianshu also hurried forward, raised his hand and touched several big acupuncture points on Mrs. Zhao's body, and went to check her pulse and injury, but his hand froze suddenly.

Xu Jiao kept looking at him expectantly, so naturally she wouldn't miss his subtle movements, "Ashu?" she murmured, why didn't he move?Don't you want to save your mother?
He Lianshu's fingertips trembled imperceptibly twice. After a long while, that finger was slowly bent and clenched into a fist. He refrained from trembling, slowly raised his eyes, and looked at Xu bright.

Still the same pair of eyes, still the same silent look, Xu Jiao seemed to understand his eyes, the last trace of blood on her face drained suddenly, "No!" She looked at him, shook her head slightly, His hands slowly climbed up his sleeves, tremblingly pulled up the sleeves little by little, and tightened, "Ashu, save your mother, save her."

He Lianshu looked at her, his throat rolled twice, but those cruel words could not be uttered no matter what.Looking down at Mrs. Zhao's face in her arms, her eyes suddenly dimmed.

At this moment, Mrs. Zhao in Xu Jiao's arms twitched. Xu Jiao and He Lianshu hurriedly looked over, but saw Mrs. Zhao slowly opened their eyes.
"Mother!" Xu Jiao shouted in joy.

Mrs. Zhao's gaze was blank for a moment, and then slowly fell on her face. When she looked at her, there seemed to be a complicated light flashing in her eyes, but like a shooting star, it disappeared in an instant. Tears welled up suddenly.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but the calmness on her face was suddenly torn apart by ferocity, she tilted her head, and just vomited a big mouthful of blood.

"Mother!" Xu Jiao hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover it, but how could he cover it?The blood spurted from Mrs. Zhao's mouth and nose continuously, and then trickled out from Xu Jiao's fingers, dripped all over her hands, and dripped all over their bodies.With trembling hands, Madam Zhao pulled off Xu Jiao's hand that was covering her lips, and held it tightly.

That hand was stained with blood, slippery but cold, as if there was no warmth at all.Finally, the tears in Xu Jiao's eyes could no longer be restrained, as if a bank had burst, they swarmed, like pearls with a broken string, they fell straight down.

Mrs. Zhao was speechless, but looked at Xu Jiao with a pair of eyes, as if telling her not to cry.Mrs. Zhao tilted her head, her eyes seemed to be looking for something, and finally, her eyes fell on He Lianshu, and she stretched out her trembling hand towards him.

Without any hesitation, He Lianshu handed out his hand, which was held tightly by Mrs. Zhao.He Lianshu still had no expression on his face, staring at Mrs. Zhao with cold star-like eyes, with a cold voice as always, but with a trace of inexplicable hoarseness, he said softly, "Mother, don't worry! I told my mother I promised that in this life, as long as I live for one day, I will protect Ajiao well. No one in the world spares his life, and she is my life."

Every word was resounding, if Xu Jiao heard such a beautiful promise on a normal day, she might be so happy, but at this moment, she felt heartbroken when she heard it.He called out to his mother repeatedly in his mouth, and the tears in his eyes burst out like a bank.

Mrs. Zhao looked at He Lianshu, she was speechless, and there were tears in her eyes, but with a little gratified smile, she nodded at He Lianshu invisibly, and then almost exhausted the last With strength, she handed Xu Jiao's hand, which was held in the other hand, into He Lianshu's hand, and her icy cold palm patted the back of He Lianshu's hand.

He Lianshu rolled his throat twice, did not speak, but nodded to Mrs. Zhao.

Mrs. Zhao twitched the corners of her mouth with difficulty, held the hands of the two of them, turned her head with difficulty, her eyes wandered, and finally fixed on a certain place.

"Mother..." Xu Jiao murmured, and turned her head together with He Lianshu, looking behind her.

The memorial tablet of Jing's was enshrined behind him, Xu Jiao turned his head to look at Mrs. Zhao again, followed her gaze, and found where her gaze fell.

Shangjingxiaheng, that is the name of the cheap daddy, and it is the tablet of the cheap daddy.

Xu Jiao turned her head and looked at Mrs. Zhao, seeing that she was looking at the memorial tablet with tears in her eyes, but a smile on her face. That smile was a beauty that Xu Jiao had never seen before, like a cloud. At dawn, it was very bright.

"Mother..." She had a lump in her throat, she wanted to say too much—Mother, please don't leave me!Ashu and I still need to show filial piety to you, and you will have to look after the children for me and Ashu in the future, you have never enjoyed family happiness...

But when looking at the smile on Mrs. Zhao's face, those words could only be stuck in her throat, and she couldn't utter a word.

The surroundings were suddenly very quiet, only the patter of rain could be heard, Mrs. Zhao moved her hand away suddenly, and stretched forcefully in the direction of the memorial tablet, her body followed suit, but in the next moment, she stopped, her hand suddenly fell, her body fell Softly, the eyes are also closed, there are still tears on the face, but there is a smile on the corner of the mouth.

"Mother—" Xu Jiao's call was choked in her throat, and she became silent at last, looking down at Mrs. Zhao's sleeping face, she couldn't even shed tears for a moment.

Holding her familiar temperature with one hand, it gently rested on her shoulder. It took Xu Jiao a long time to raise her head. Her eyes, which were washed by tears and became clearer, were as red as a bunny, looking at her. He, with a bit of bewilderment, tilted his head and said, "Ashu, mother, she..."

"Mother is tired, let her rest!" He Lianshu said softly with a hoarse voice.

Xu Jiao stared at him, the confusion in his eyes slowly dissipated, but his expression was empty and helpless, seeing Helian Shu's heart ached, he stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms.

Xu Jiao leaned against his chest, his familiar breath was in his nostrils, and his steady heartbeat was in his ears... A belated grief broke through her numb heart like a sharp knife, and she couldn't hold it back anymore. , I started to cry as soon as I curled my mouth...

"Ashu, mother... I don't have a mother anymore..." Halfway mother and daughter, not the slightest blood relationship, the initial necessity, the life-saving straw, has become such a deep bond that is hard to break away?

Xu Jiao cried until she couldn't make a sound. Only in this person's arms could she be released without reservation.

He Lianshu didn't speak, just hugged her, one hand ran down her hair, and the other gently patted her back, again and again, coaxing her like a child.When his eyes fell on Mrs. Zhao who was not far away, a pair of usually calm eyes were quietly stained with moisture.

"Hee hee... that's great! Awu... Zhao Awu is dead! You deserve it, who told you to fight with me? You deserve it!" At this moment, Xu Jiao's cry suddenly burst into tears. There was a burst of laughter, it was Mrs. Yan's voice, extremely sharp.

Her silence just now seemed to confirm whether Mrs. Zhao was dead or not, but now seeing Mrs. Zhao dying, she seemed to have no scruples, and she laughed unscrupulously, and opened her mouth just like that.

Xu Jiao's crying stopped abruptly, she raised her head from Helianshu's arms, staring at Madam Yan with a pair of scarlet eyes like hooks, the next moment, she gritted her teeth and shouted "I'll kill you", and crawled Standing up, she rushed straight towards Mrs. Yan, and at the same time pulled out the dagger that He Lianshu gave her that never left her body.

The sharp point of the knife stabbed straight at Mrs. Yan, Mrs. Yan seemed to be frightened, she didn't dodge or dodge, she just giggled and laughed while holding the blood-dripping dagger in her hand.

But at the very moment, a hand stretched out from the slanted stab and grabbed Xu Jiao's dagger with his bare hands. At the same time, a figure was inserted between the two of them, blocking Madam Yan.

The dagger had already torn his hand, and the bright red blood snaked and fell down.

Xu Jiao stared at the person in front of him with wide open eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "Get out of the way!"

Jing Qin looked at the strong hatred and murderous look on her face, and felt severe pain like a gut scrape for a moment, but he turned towards her and shook his head gently, he couldn't let it go.

Xu Jiao was extremely angry and ruthless, "I let you get out of the way!" This sentence was squeezed out from between his teeth, and he issued an ultimatum.Jing Qin still refused to evade, Xu Jiao made a strong hand, and the dagger pierced forward another inch, and the next moment, Jing Qin held it tightly, unable to advance an inch.But there was an imperceptible frown between his brows, and the blood seemed to be dripping faster.

He didn't feel any pain at all.Perhaps it was because of his heart, which was already numb from the pain.Before meeting Xu Jiao, he always thought that he was a cold-hearted person. He never knew that he would also be hurt because of one person, time and time again.It hurts to ask for nothing, it hurts to have to let go, it hurts to see her caring about others, to marry someone else, but it's not as painful as seeing her suffering while being helpless.

"Ajiao—" he whispered her name in a hoarse voice, as if something cracked, collapsed, and disappeared in his eyes, "she is my mother after all." So, he couldn't let it go.

"Your mother just killed my mother. She is a murderer. It is only right and proper to kill with life." Xu Jiao gritted his teeth, and each word came out from between his teeth.

Jing Qin's pupils shrank suddenly, and he fixedly looked into Xu Jiao's eyes, without saying a word, but he didn't move either.

Xu Jiao frowned, and was about to pull out the dagger with all his strength, but there was an extra figure beside him.It's Helen Shu.

He stretched out his hand and covered her hand that was holding the dagger but could not restrain its trembling. The familiar warmth spread through the skin of his body. Mouzi, listening to him softly calling her "Ajiao", said to her, "The dead are the most important, first arrange the funeral for the mother, and let her rest in peace."

Xu Jiao looked at him with a dazed expression, as if he couldn't believe it.

He Lianshu still looked at her calmly as usual, and the hand covering her turned to clenched tightly. With one forceful force, he pulled the dagger out of Jing Qin's hand, and at the same time, with a backhand, he directly pulled the dagger out of Xu Qin's hand. Jiao snatched it from his hand.

Xu Jiao took a step forward and stretched out his hand to snatch the dagger, but He Lianshu quickly put the dagger into his hand, and raised his hand to block her, "Ajiao, do you want to make your mother feel uneasy?" He Lianshu said indifferently. In a word, Xu Jiao froze all his movements.

She stared at him with flickering eyes. After a long time, she waved away his hand on her wrist, turned her head and walked back to Madam Zhao, knelt down silently, lowered her eyes, neither looked at any of them, nor said anything.

He Lianshu looked at her, his eyes darkened slightly, he raised his head to look at Jing Qin, and said in a calm tone, "Brother, my mother is from the Jing family, I'm afraid the Jing family will have to decide how to handle this funeral."

Jing Qin looked away from Xu Jiao, and then fell on He Lianshu in a complicated way, rolling his throat, "I'm already going to invite my grandfather and father, and I will discuss a rule of law soon. Governor Helian, don't worry, the Jing Mansion will definitely not treat Auntie badly."

"Jing Shangshu and Master Jing are back. After all, apart from the funeral, there are still some things that need to be explained." He Lianshu said, looking at Mrs. Yan behind Jingqin with a pair of cold eyes.

Mrs. Yan was holding the blood-dripping dagger, giggling, but suddenly frightened by his slash, she raised her eyes to look at him in a daze, her hands trembled, and the dagger fell to the ground with a "clang" sound. On the ground, Mrs. Yan yelled, "Ah, it wasn't me! It wasn't me, I didn't kill anyone. No! Zhao Awu deserves to die, she deserves to die. It wasn't me, I didn't kill anyone."

She spoke incoherently, and while screaming, she started to run wildly with her head in her arms. This appearance seemed to be crazy.

He Lianshu frowned when he looked at the center of his brows, but Jing Qin frowned suspiciously and stepped forward, "Mother." Grabbing Mrs. Yan who was jumping around, he met her eyes and called out in a low voice.

However, Mrs. Yan didn't even know him as if she didn't even know him. Looking at him, she screamed like a ghost, and at the same time punched and kicked Jing Qin.

Jing Qin locked her hands, hugged her tightly, and called for someone to come. It took a lot of effort for several people to restrain Mrs. Yan and lead her out of the ancestral hall.

Hearing Mrs. Yan's yelling gradually fade away, He Lianshu withdrew his thoughtful gaze, turned his head to look at Xu Jiao who was kneeling on the ground with his head bowed, not crying, not saying a word, but his heart was full of tears. Give it a hard pull.

White silk fluttered around, the lanterns turned white, and after a rain, the entire Jing Mansion became quiet.Less than a month after finishing the wedding, another funeral was held.

The Jing Mansion did not dare to neglect Mrs. Zhao, and directly opened the main courtyard and set up the mourning hall in it.The ready-made coffin didn't dare to carry it to bury Mrs. Zhao, so Mrs. Wu simply carried out the high-quality nanmu plank that she had prepared for herself and gave it to Mrs. Zhao first.

Xu Jiao, the little mortuary, didn't want to pretend to be someone else, but let Qin Niang and the others help Mrs. Zhao to clean, dress, and put on make-up. Xu Jiao used to think of such things as creepy, but today she did it. , but not the slightest fear.What is there to be afraid of?This is her mother!
When everything was ready, Mrs. Zhao lying there seemed to be no different from usual, she just fell asleep.
