Skretil's Ignorance Walker

The first moment Lilia saw Peony, she felt very curious, because Paul had never told her that he had a cute mouse girl at home. At this time, the old woman was alone in the house, worrying secretly. After leaving the two of them, Lilia asked Peony with some concern.

"I...I'm the old lady's friend. She said her son would be back today, so I stayed here with her."

"Really? I'm sure Paul will be very grateful to you too."

Hearing this, Lilia breathed a sigh of relief, then she stood at the door and looked at the old woman who was sitting in a chair and muttering to herself.

"Can I come in?"

"Oh, of course, but what is your relationship with the old woman's son?"

It seemed that Lilia did not simply come to the old woman to deliver her son's relics. After delivering the things, she was still reluctant to leave and seemed to be very concerned about this matter. She was also very cautious when facing the old woman.

So Mudan asked curiously. Although Lilia had said before that she was Paul's friend, Mudan felt that it was not that simple. Perhaps it was the life during this period that gave her some experience in these things.

"I……"

Lilia was silent for a while, then she looked at the sad old woman in the house, and finally said to Mudan:

"I promised him that I would take care of his mother on his behalf until the end of her life."

Lilia said solemnly that this was the last promise Paul made with her before his death, and she was ready to fulfill this oath.

"So you are..."

"I'm his fiancée."

This time, Lilia did not hesitate any more, but spoke seriously. Hearing this, Mudan nodded with relief, believing that with such a beautiful daughter-in-law accompanying the old lady, she would not need to worry about it in the future.

"Then come in quickly!"

Then Mudan led Lilia into the house and poured her a cup of tea. When the old woman came to her senses and saw Lilia enter the house, she couldn't help but ask in confusion:

"What are you..."

In response, Lilia repeated what she had just said. After hearing this, the old woman sat in her seat, still a little listless.

"But...my son..."

"It's okay, I promised him that I will take good care of you in the future!"

Lilia said as she held the old woman's hand. Even though her son was gone, there would still be someone to accompany her. This was a blessing in disguise.

"But……"

"Please believe me!"

Seeing that the old woman was still hesitant, Lilia took off another necklace from her neck and placed it in front of the old woman for display.

"This is what you gave to Paul, asking him to give it to the person he likes as a token of love. He put the necklace on me personally, so please believe me, I have absolutely no improper thoughts."

Lilia's expression was very solemn, and her eyes were very serious. Seeing this, the old woman lowered her head and sighed.

"Well... in that case, please take care of an old lady like me. Let me make it clear first, I'm very difficult to serve..."

"No problem, no matter what, I will accompany you to the end!"

Even though the old woman said this, Lilia still did not back down. She patted her chest and made the promise.

"Okay, okay, the food is getting cold. Have you eaten yet? Let's eat first..."

Originally, this table of delicious food was specially prepared by the old woman to celebrate the return of her son, but she didn't expect that he would never come back. But even so, life still has to go on. Although the old woman has not completely come out of the shadow of her son's death, she has to accept this fact.

"By the way, Mudan, why don't you stay and eat with us?"

"Ah, I don't need that. My family should have prepared dinner for me when I get home, so I won't bother you."

Looking at the old woman and Lilia, Mudan felt that she should leave. She did not belong here and naturally had to leave when the time was right.

Although the old woman tried to persuade her to stay, Mudan still left. She walked home alone, thinking about the old woman.

The old woman must be very sad that her son, whom she had waited so long for, would never come back. However, she was very strong and tried not to let Mudan and Lilia worry about her. Lilia also said that she would take good care of her after this, and Mudan sincerely hoped that the old woman could spend a peaceful old age.

She is already over sixty years old. How many people can live to be sixty years old?

When they got home, Mudan happened to come across the restaurant. Lu Ren had been busy with the wedding during this period, and as the organizer and venue, Winnie and the other maids were also busy running around. As a result, Lu Ren and his friends' daily meals are relatively simple, but they are all menus carefully planned by Winnie. Although not very responsible, they are delicious and healthy.

At the dinner table, Mudan watched Lu Ren thinking about a problem. She had something to say but was hesitant to do so.

"Peony, what can I do for you?"

Fortunately, Lu Ren noticed this and took the initiative to ask Mudan. The latter was startled at first, but quickly reacted.

"Well, Lord Lu Ren..."

"Ok?"

At this time, not only Lu Ren, but also everyone else present looked at Mudan, wanting to know what was going on.

"I have a request..."

"We are all family now. If you have any ideas, just say it directly. There is no need to be so polite."

Seeing her timid look, Lu Ren smiled gently and said that Mudan didn't need to have such a heavy psychological burden.

Lu Ren smiled gently, and coupled with her extremely beautiful and lovely appearance, Mudan's heart beat faster and her cheeks began to turn red.

"Um...I want to open a flower shop...is that okay?"

"Oh?"

Hearing this request, Lu Ren was a little curious. She also learned from Fafuwei that Mudan seemed to go out to sell flowers every day during this period. But she didn't expect that she was no longer satisfied with just selling flowers with a basket, but wanted to open a flower shop directly.

This made Lu Ren wonder, is the peony business so good?

But then she thought again, Peony had been selling flowers in the Kingdom of Rat for a living, and now she doesn’t need to worry about life problems, but maybe she can’t forget those days back then, so she wants to open a flower shop after she becomes rich?

"Is it really not possible?"

Seeing that Lu Ren did not give a direct answer, Mudan thought that Lu Ren disagreed, so she thought about giving up, but this time Lu Ren denied her worries.

"Of course you can. If you open a flower shop and make some money, you can also help with your family expenses. Of course, it's okay even if you don't make any money. Just treat it as a hobby!"

Lu Ren smiled and nodded. This kind of trivial matter was not worth mentioning. The only thing he needed to worry about was that Lu Ren was afraid that Mudan would be overworked if she was in charge of the flower shop alone.

"Is... is that so? Thank you so much, Master Lu Ren!"

After getting permission, Mudan breathed a sigh of relief and was also very happy. After all, without Lu Ren's support, she would never be able to open the business.

Vera, who was standing by, saw this scene and slapped the table and said to Lu Ren:

"Sister, I also have a request!"

"...What is it?"

Seeing Vera like this, Lu Ren had a bad feeling, but she still planned to listen to what Vera wanted to say first.

"Let's open another duel arena!"

"no!"
