The journey of giving birth to a son

Jiang Shiyi prepared some clothes and food to take with him.

"I'll go with you," Zhou Zhengze chased after him and carried the baggage on his back, "How can you do it alone?"

Jiang Shiyi thought for a while and agreed. She was a girl in the middle of the night and it was not convenient for her to go out. Zhou Zhengze had helped her a lot these days, "Thank you!"

"Why do you always say thank you?" Zhou Zhengze is a very well-behaved person who knows how to measure etiquette.

Jiang Shiyi was very familiar with the Hou Mansion. When the two of them arrived at the back door of the Hou Mansion, no one was guarding it. Now the Zhang family was the only one in the Nuo Da Hou Mansion, and the Jinyi guards were slacking off!

The two people walked slowly inside the Hou Mansion. The Dingbei Hou Mansion that used to be brightly lit is now dark. There is no one along the way, only tall buildings lying in the silent night.

Relying on their memories, they came to the Songhe Hall at the front of the Hou Mansion, located on the central axis.

At this moment, a lone lamp was lighting up in the Songhe Hall, swaying in the cold darkness, and reflecting Zhang's pale and thin face.

Zhang was talking to someone, "Who are you?"

Opposite Mrs. Zhang, kneeling was a mother-in-law in her sixties, with gray hair, wearing a blue jacket and black trousers, holding a bowl of steaming hot porridge in her hand!

"Mrs. Qi Zhen, I am a servant of the mansion!"

"You are a servant of the house, how come I have never seen you before!" Ms. Zhang took a step forward and looked at her carefully.

"I tend to the flowers and plants in the backyard of the house."

It turned out that because this mother-in-law was too old, no one wanted her when she went out to sell, so she stayed. When Jin Yiwei saw it, he turned a blind eye.

Jin Yiwei ransacked the house cleanly. The mother-in-law knew that there was no one around Zhang and had nothing to eat, so she cooked a bowl of porridge while it was dark.

"Get up! I'm not a lady now, you don't have to kneel down for me."

The mother-in-law stood up and took a bold look at Mrs. Zhang. Normally, people like them who were waiting in the backyard would never see the master. If they saw her, they would salute from a distance or avoid him early.

Ms. Zhang, who was standing opposite her, was wearing a green shirt and jacket, and her hair was held up with only a bamboo hairpin. In just a few days, half of her hair had turned white, and a strand of white hair hung down by her ears. She was completely no longer what she used to be. That kind of graceful and luxurious look.

Mrs. Zhang did not expect that the Lu family was in such a situation now, that this mother-in-law would actually be willing to bring a bowl of rice porridge to her.

"The Marquis Mansion is kind to me. I am alone and have no children, but they are willing to take me in. They only let me do a few simple things like gardening and gardening. Every holiday, they even make me one or two new clothes. !” The mother-in-law said very sincerely, “Just eat a little!”

Mrs. Zhang felt a little moved in her heart. The Lu family was in trouble, and everyone was avoiding it. Even her mother's family didn't come to ask. Only this old woman who had received some kindness from the Lu family was willing to give her a bowl of rice porridge.

"Mother-in-law, it's not easy for you to have this little food. Just keep it for yourself! I don't need it anymore!" The mother-in-law looked at Mrs. Zhang with a flash of pity in her eyes. Now that the wife has passed away, her husband and son have also left, and the little Her son's life and death are uncertain, and her little daughter's whereabouts are unknown. At this moment, Ms. Zhang is completely despairing. Nothing matters. Ms. Zhang can only stand. In the bottom of her heart, maybe she still wants to hear a piece of news, which also supports her. The only pillar of survival.

"Ma'am, you'd better eat a little!" my mother-in-law advised.

"It's really not necessary, thank you!" Mrs. Zhang said again. Her mother-in-law came out with her hunched body and rice porridge. After she came out, she saw Jiang Shiyi and Zhou Zhengze standing opposite, and they didn't say anything. , and walked slowly along the veranda talking to himself.

Jiang Shiyi stepped forward and pushed the door gently. The door was not closed, but opened as soon as he pushed it. A gust of cold wind also slipped in through the crack in the door...

The candlelight I was blowing wavered to the west and was almost extinguished!

Mrs. Zhang had no expression on her face when she saw her coming in.

Just fight quietly like that, with your waist straight! She is truly worthy of being the legitimate daughter of a noble family. She has suffered such a blow and can still stand upright!
"Let me come over to see you!" Jiang Shiyi said.

Mrs. Zhang stood aside and said, "Let's see!"

Jiang Shiyi walked in. There was really nothing to see in the room. The once bustling Songhe Hall now only had the big kang by the window with no bedding on it. The whole room was empty and cold. Jinyiwei ransacked the house very cleanly. Mrs. Zhang was standing in the room wearing a thin cotton-padded jacket!
Jiang Shiyi felt her nose was sore. She put down her burden and said to Mrs. Zhang, "When I came, I brought a bedding and some rice for Madam! You can make do with it!"

Zhang's tone was indifferent, "I don't need anything anymore, and I don't need anything anymore. It's really hard for you. I didn't expect that the first person to see me would be you!"

After the Marquis's house was confiscated, all the in-laws who were good friends with the Lu family, including her mother's family, the British Duke's family, only sent a few nuns to bury the wife. As for her married daughter, No question at all.

Jiang Shiyi knew that Mrs. Zhang now had no desire to live at all, "What are you talking about, madam? The Lu family is kind to me. The madam released me from the house and released our family's slave status. The second master once After saving me, I should come over and check on you.”

What Zhang was thinking was that for people like them, it was just a little effort to do a little thing, but what they did change was the fate of many people's lives.

"Thank you for coming to see me! I really don't need these things, you can take them."

"What if Madam wants to die? Even if your husband and son are gone, Madam doesn't have to give up on herself like this!"

Zhang shook her head and didn't want to say anything. She didn't need anything. Everything was useless to her now, and living had no meaning for her.

"Madam, do you know that your son has now been handed over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Many adults in the court are running for him, thinking of leaving a bloodline for the Lu family! I have redeemed your little daughter, and there are Your eldest daughter is safe and sound even though she is thousands of miles away. They are all thinking about you, why don't you think about them."

After Jiang Shiyi said this, she looked at Madam Zhang intently. She knew that in Madam Zhang's heart, nothing was as important as her child.

Zhang's eyes rolled, and suddenly there was a vivid expression on his dull face. Two lines of tears flowed down his thin cheeks. Lu Zhan was handed over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He will definitely not suffer any more physical pain. His little daughter After being rescued, there is no need to go to that place, and the eldest daughter is safe and sound...

Mrs. Zhang burst into tears. For her, this was the best news. Each of her children was more important than herself! (End of chapter)
