Wishful Things

Instead, it slowly pressed against her face, making her eyes dark.

Before Jiashi had time to think about what happened and what was going to happen next, she realized that the relatively firm cotton pillow was already pressing more and more tightly on her face, squeezing her facial features, making her unable to breathe.

The instinct to survive made her start to struggle.

She shouted urgently Jinping, Jinping, but the sound she made was crushed by the musty-smelling pillow and slipped back into her aching throat like a knife.

When her consciousness was on the brink of nirvana, she heard the voice of Day and Night Thinking in an exceptionally calm but trembling voice——

You and my father didn't give me a good background and ruined my future. I never complained, but...you really, can't, drag your son down.

Go with peace of mind. When you see your father, remember to tell him that I can be the leader of the family by myself, and I will definitely live up to his expectations...

The woman who has been ill for nearly half a year is like a withered and yellow pampas grass in autumn, which will scatter when the wind blows, floating and falling silently.

Seeing that his mother was no longer struggling, Zhan Yunzhu slowly withdrew his palm from the pillow.

After a while, the cotton pillow was removed, revealing the woman's slightly distorted face and a pair of hollow and terrifying eyes.

The young man's slender fingers gently smoothed out the indentation on the cotton pillow, and put it back on the pillow behind the woman's head.

Then, the finger pushed aside the messy hair on the woman's face little by little, and slowly stroked over the eyes to make them close.

After doing all this meticulously, he grabbed the woman's still warm palm and pressed it to his forehead.

Mother, I know, you won't blame me...

A tear fell from the corner of his closed eye.

The small, dark room was silent.

It took Zhan Yunzhu a long time to open his eyes.

In sight, the indentation on the woman's face has completely disappeared, and the expression on her face has returned to eternal calm.

……Mother!

The anxious and mournful cry of the young man spread out.

The servant woman guarding the courtyard hurriedly opened the door and entered, seeing the situation inside the house, her expression changed drastically and she exclaimed.

She boldly stepped forward and sniffed Jia's breath, her face turned paler immediately: This...

Why did mother leave like this...

The young man kept shaking his head, as if he couldn't accept the fact that he had just reunited with his mother after a long absence.

Mr. Zhan... The servant girl comforted her a little at a loss, Madam's illness has not lasted for a day or two. The doctor said earlier that there is not much time left... Perhaps seeing Mr. Zhan come back today, the worries in my heart were relieved, and the hold was relieved...

All in all, you can't blame her for not taking good care of her!

Although Master Ji's salary is not generous, she is very conscientious in her work!

The young man didn't know if he listened to her words, and after a while, he knelt down on the edge of the bed trembling.

The guard heard the movement and came in to check it out. Seeing this, he was slightly taken aback, and then retreated out without a sound.

The maid stood aside, not knowing what to do, and tried to persuade him a few words, but seeing that the young man didn't respond, as if he had lost his soul, she had no choice but to go out.

The person is dead, and she has no reason to stay here any longer, so she should go back to the yamen Tongji and explain the matter first.

Hey, great joy has turned into great sorrow, the things in this world are really fickle.

The maid walked out of the courtyard with mixed feelings.

Because the carriage at the entrance of the alley was too eye-catching and rare, the man with the knife hanging on his waist was guarding outside the courtyard gate before, thus attracting many idlers nearby to watch the excitement.

Seeing the servant woman coming out, many people gathered around to ask.

The servant girl sighed and told the general story of the matter.

Everyone was extremely surprised when they heard it, and started discussing it in a hurry.

This wife is too lucky...

Yeah, it's hard to wait until my son comes back...

It's also God's will to trick people. This is how uncomfortable Mr. Zhan is. The family members are dying, and the exiles are exiled...

It's not...

This lady has been ill for a while, maybe it was the Buddha who took pity on his spirit and brought his son back in time to send her to her end...

But having said that, since Mr. Zhan is still alive, why didn't he come back until today?

Didn't you listen to what the servant woman said just now? She almost died when she threw herself into the river, hurt her brain, and suffered from amnesia.

According to this, it really is the Buddha's manifestation...

The son who had gone through the funeral suddenly came back safely, but the mother was relieved, and passed away peacefully with her son by her side——

This incident was so eye-catching that it spread quickly.

When the Zhan clan heard the news, they immediately sent two people over to find out the truth.

Jinping, seeing your mother come back safely before she dies is considered a fulfillment of her wish. You must mourn...

Although they had never shown up since Jia's illness, they couldn't pretend not to know that this nephew with a good reputation came back.

Originally, the clan had already discussed that when Jia Shi died of illness, all the funerals should be kept simple, so as to save trouble.

But now that the son is back and everyone is staring at him, he definitely can't do that anymore.

Thinking of this, the clansmen couldn't help feeling a little bit pained secretly.

If you don't come back sooner or later, why did you come back just today?

The clansman looked at his nephew kneeling by the bed and sighed in his heart.

wrong……

It seems that his nephew didn't come back alone, just now he saw a young man with a cold face guarding outside the hall?

The nephew's clothes don't seem to be very down-to-earth either...

Could it be that during the time away from home, what happened?

In the blink of an eye, he thought of many possibilities, including but not limited to being adopted as a foster son or a visiting son-in-law by a wealthy lord, etc. The clansmen wanted to inquire a few words, but it could be seen that the young man knelt there motionless. Since he came in, he only called Third Cousin and didn't speak again, so he had to temporarily suppress his curiosity and speculation.

...

This matter soon reached Xu Mingyi's ears.

Zhu Xiu is her own girl whom she found in the training ground.

After waking up from a nap, Xu Mingyi came to the martial arts training ground in the mansion to practice archery with Xu Mingshi.

Listening to Zhu Xiu's explanation of the matter at this time, she did not deliberately avoid her younger brother.

Ms. Zhan's family...is dead?! Xu Mingshi was quite surprised to hear that.

Xu Mingyi said coldly: However, I'm afraid it's not certain.

Zhan Yunzhu just went back today, and Jia Shi died like this——

Although there is no shortage of coincidences in this world, once all coincidences appear together with Zhan Yunzhu, then most of them cannot be pure coincidences.
