Lonely King and Widow

Chapter 1099
"no!"

Zhiniang said it firmly, her wrinkled face was black and blue.

Why are you so angry?Mo Jiu was a little surprised by her reaction.

"Mom, what happened to you today? Did you take the wrong medicine? I remember, you never cared about my business!"

This time, Zhiniang didn't answer for a long time.

She looked at Mo Jiushui's tender little Ling'er with varying shades of eyes, and her eyes gradually became softer, as if reluctant to give up, and as if pity, she slowly lifted her withered palm and placed it on her cheek He rubbed it lightly, and his voice was a little choked up.

"Xiao Jiu, you can grow up to be as beautiful and smart as you are today, mother is happy. But mother has always been worried that you are too smart, go astray, and hurt yourself—"

"Mother... how could I?" Mo Jiu couldn't laugh or cry,
Zhi Niang paused, then sighed, "Do you still remember what happened when you were a child?"

Mo Jiu was suspicious, "When I was young? Hehe, wasn't I a fool at that time? How could I have such a good memory? Thanks to my good character in the past two years, I finally grew up a second time. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to look so cute, beautiful and capable." A wise and filial woman?"

Zhiniang was taken aback, but couldn't help laughing.

With a poke on her forehead, her tone was full of affection.

"Little girl is skin, how can you praise yourself like this?"

"Hey, don't you think so in your mother's heart?"

Seeing her smile, Mo Jiu also heaved a sigh of relief, and continued to guide her, "Tell me, mother, what did I do when I was young?"

Zhiniang looked at her bright eyes, hesitated, and shook her head: "It's good not to remember, and it's not a good thing, so don't listen to it. However, there are some things you should know. People in Xuyi say that we We are the descendants of tomb robbers, our illness is our retribution——Mother has heard too much of these words, and I really don’t want our children and grandchildren to be like us—”

Her chaotic eyes dimmed a bit.

"Xiao Jiu, our family doesn't dig graves."

Tightly pursing her lips, Mo Jiu looked back at her without answering.

She didn't want Zhiniang to be sad, and she couldn't deceive her.

She had to open the Bagua tomb, and she had to open it, she couldn't convince herself.

"Xiao Jiu." Zhi Niang was very stubborn, determined, and looked at Mo Jiu almost obsessively. After tidying up her clothes, she suddenly pointed to the ancestral tablet placed in the middle of the hall, and said solemnly: "Go, kneel down for your ancestors, Kowtow."

... Mo Jiu doesn't like to kneel.

I never liked it, I thought it was against human nature.

But she does as the Romans do, and she is used to kneeling when she has to.

Slowly getting up on her knees, she knelt on the futon in front of the memorial tablet, kowtowed heavily, and looked at Zhiniang without saying a word.Unexpectedly, Zhi Niang sighed, followed her slowly, knelt beside her, clasped her hands together, and said to the "ancestor" on the tablet: "The ancestors are above all, it is Zhi Niang who teaches daughters without methods. That’s why Xiaojiu was allowed to do such a thing that violated the precepts of the ancestors——ask the ancestors to punish Zhiniang alone. If there is retribution, Zhiniang should also bear it.”

Come on, let's go, she said a lot, anyway, it is to take responsibility.

Mo Jiu never believed in retribution, but he never did anything wrong.Regarding the Bagua tomb, to be honest, she never really thought about anything else before, but today Zhiniang's sentence "the one that buried the ancestors is the old tomb" reminded her—it seems that her behavior is actually no different from that of a tomb robber .

Strangely, the heart suddenly stings.

Could it be that Xiao Liulang's departure...is God's retribution?
