No matter which direction she went, the person driving the carriage would turn the horse's head to block her. Wan Shufang no longer thought this was a coincidence.

Her face darkened, she glared at the coachman and asked sternly: "I am a good citizen, do you want to go to jail for bullying me like this?"

"Mom, my son just doesn't know how to see you, so he greets you in this way. I hope you can forgive me." As soon as Wan Shufang finished speaking, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and then a scholar dressed in Chen Hai, who was dressed up, came out with a face filled with shame.

"It's you!" Seeing that the person in the carriage was Chen Hai, Wan Shufang felt ridiculous and immediately turned cold, "You are my son, but you greet me in this way? Chen Hai, I see It’s not that you don’t know how to greet me, it’s that you don’t know how to face me, so you embarrass me in this disgusting way.”

"Aren't you a scholar? Have you learned the Four Books and Five Classics and the Tao of Confucius and Mencius from a dog's belly?"

Suddenly thinking of something, Wan Shufang narrowed her eyes slightly, and then stared at Chen Hai like a knife, as if she wanted to poke holes in his body.

"No, if I remember correctly, it has been three months since Liangcheng closed its gates and refused to accept refugees, but it has only been two months since the prefect of Liangzhou began to provide disaster relief. During these two months, our family happened to be in Liangcheng .”

"Chen Hai, your father and I have been busy in the outer city in the past two months. How many refugees have come? We have some idea, so we haven't seen you and your wife in the past two months. That can only mean You arrived in Liangcheng three months ago."

Wan Shufang suddenly laughed when she said this, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

"According to the time when you and your wife left, you should have arrived here three months ago. I think you are still here now, not because you still miss our family, but because of the refugees, you have to be trapped here. .”

"You took the initiative to come to me now. You didn't think of me as a mother and wanted to be filial to me. I'm afraid you have some purpose."

The moment she saw Chen Hai appear, Wan Shufang was actually a little happy.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, Wan Shufang felt that something was wrong.

Now that she had a sudden flash of inspiration, she went through all these things in her mind, and then came to a very possible conclusion.

Chen Hai came to see her as a mother, fearing that there was something he couldn't solve and he needed her help.

"Mom, I'm your son, how can you miss me so much?" Chen Hai stared at Wan Shufang with slightly red eyes, as if unwilling and painful, "Is it because I left with my father-in-law's family and didn't go home? ? But I have no choice but to do that. Mom, why can you understand my elder brother but not me?"

When Wan Shufang heard such remarks, she felt like her head was being pressed by something and was about to explode.

She looked at Chen Hai with icy eyes and said without any emotion: "Am I not considerate of you enough? You followed your father-in-law's family and left our whole family behind. What else do you want? Our family must starve to death before you show up. Are you satisfied in front of me?"

"That's not what I meant." Chen Hai's tone became anxious.

Wan Shufang's voice was devoid of any warmth, and also revealed a sense of sarcasm: "But that's what you just said. Chen Hai, although you are a scholar who is industrious in your limbs and cannot distinguish between grains and grains, you have a pair of very clear eyes. You Couldn’t these eyes still see the situation in the town at that time?”

"Even if you haven't noticed the situation in the town, you have seen the lives of the refugees during the three months you have been trapped here. Let me ask you, do you think of us family members when you see them?"

"When you came to me specifically, have you ever thought about how we spent this time?"

As she asked the question word by word, Wan Shufang's mood became excited with the words she asked, and she gradually started to question Chen Hai.

Chen Hai felt guilty when he was asked, his face tightened, and he said in a high-pitched voice: "I have thought of you, no, I came here specifically as soon as I knew you were in Liangcheng."

The more he spoke, the more eager he became, as if he was hoping that Wan Shufang could trust him and not misunderstand him deeply.

"Mom, I really miss you. The reason why I hesitate to say hello to you this time is because I know very well that I don't have the face to see you."

"I originally wanted to apologize to you, but you suddenly spoke. As soon as I heard your voice, no matter how anxious I was, I had no choice but to come see you first."

"I know that I did something wrong by following my father-in-law, and I don't expect you to forgive me, but I just hope that you are still willing to love me as you did before, instead of treating me as a stranger."

Chen Hai said it sincerely, and his eyes were so red that he was about to shed tears, as if he really came to the door because he missed his family too much, and not because of anything else.

Wan Shufang was doubtful: "What about your wife? Where is she now?"

Hearing this, Chen Hai thought that Wan Shufang wanted to ask about the child in Bai Lian's belly and said hurriedly: "My wife gave birth to a grandson for you a month ago. The child is very cute and looks a bit like you." , I missed you as soon as I saw him, and now I am finally reunited with you, and we, mother and son, will never be separated again."

Wan Shufang frowned subconsciously: "Your wife's belly is less than eight months old, so why did she give birth early?"

Chen Hai looked ashamed: "I didn't take good care of her, and that's why she was frightened by the refugee situation. However, my father-in-law specially found a doctor for her. She has been in confinement for a month and she is almost done. Mom, you If you want to see your grandson, you can come home with me now."

Wan Shufang recalled it carefully, and then looked at Chen Hai with a half-smile: "You gave birth to a child a month ago? I remembered that someone did come to ask a doctor at that time, saying that refugees infected with the plague had entered the house. The city scared a pregnant woman."

"I even gave him some medicinal materials for him to take back. I didn't expect that it would be you and your wife who asked for the doctor. In other words, you knew I was here at that time."

Chen Hai felt that her striking eyes were looking straight into his heart like hooks trying to pull out all the secrets in his heart.

He was too frightened to look directly into Wan Shufang's eyes. He not only lowered his head to cover the doubt and fear in his eyes, but also concealed his horrified expression.

Ever since he started studying, he has been treated as an ancestor by his family and has never cared about family affairs at all.

But even if he didn't care about anything, he still knew something about his mother.

His mother was just an ordinary country woman, she didn't have such eyes at all, let alone any medical skills.

So who is this person wearing his mother's skin in front of me? Is he a lonely ghost? Or a monster who can see into people's hearts?

The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, but a burst of anger emerged for no reason, and he immediately asked: "Are you really my mother?"
