The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

It was as if on an afternoon when the sun was shining through the windowsill, the shadows of trees were swaying on the window paper, and there seemed to be the sound of tinkling wind chimes in my ears.

When I first left my mother, I cried every day. Later, I got used to it and grew up, and gradually I almost forgot what my mother looked like.

Only when his second aunt came back, he would secretly look at her and imagine what his mother looked like in his memory.

This question made Kang Ge'er's nose feel sore and he almost cried.

He tried hard to recall what his third aunt looked like.

"When I was a child, I met my third aunt. She looked very much like my second aunt. But she was taller and had a rounder face. The old lady said she was the most like her, but I didn't see that. My third aunt is tall, and the old lady is now a centenarian. She eats big elbows every time, and her face is as round as two third aunts."

Xuan Ge'er was amused and burst into laughter, while thinking about what his mother should look like.

Song Shengfu was eavesdropping at the door and was so angry that she almost broke the incense in her hand.

You little bastard, you're talking bad about me behind my back.

"What's your mother's personality like? Is she gentle and kind, like your aunt?"

Kang Ge'er thought about it and remembered that of the few times they met, he only remembered the last time and could not remember the ones before that very clearly.

"That's right. Third Aunt loves to laugh and has dimples at the corners of her mouth. The old lady has the same thing, but she's gained weight and it's not that noticeable. But I think Third Aunt is a bit like the old lady."

Song Shengfu, who was standing at the door, was so angry that she wanted to go in and punch him twice. What's the matter? Is it that he can't get over this hurdle?

Xuan Ge'er's sobbing became much quieter, and he asked, "Where?"

"When he's not smiling, his eyes are staring at you, which is intimidating."

He had never been scolded by his third aunt, but he had seen her scolding his third uncle. Even after his third uncle apologized, his third aunt ignored him.

But that was probably the last time he saw his third aunt.

Xuan Ge'er stared blankly at the lamp in front of him, trying hard to imagine what this person was like.

If my mother hadn't...

Then, at this time, would he also be able to nestle in her arms and act coquettishly, telling her about his grievances?

"Brother, can you tell me more about the mother you just mentioned? I want to hear it."

Kang Ge'er tried hard to recall, and then began to talk a lot, but most of the time he was repeating the same things.

But Xuan Ge'er still listened with great interest, as if he would never get tired of listening to it no matter how many times he listened.

Song Shengfu at the door wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeves. She felt her nose was sore and a little blocked.

She had seldom had contact with children before, and Xuan'er could be said to have been raised by her since he was a child. He lived in her room since he was still unable to walk steadily, and only moved to Duan Jingzong's courtyard when he started to go to school.

He always behaved normally on weekdays, but what child doesn't miss his mother? I always thought that Xuan Ge'er was young, so I was careless and didn't notice his little thoughts.

There are also those who don’t know who are gossiping, saying such hurtful words in front of good children, with vicious hearts and vicious words.

My good brother has been harmed to such a state.

No wonder Xuan Ge'er became so cowardly in her previous life. If she doesn't find these people, she is not a human being.

This child is just too sensible. He keeps everything in his heart, which makes people feel even more distressed.

As Song Shengfu cried, she began to sob breathlessly. Afraid that the two children inside would notice something, she stood up without even brushing off the dust, wiped her eyes with her sleeves, and left quickly.

Only after we walked a long way did we start to cry out loud.

This man is old, how come he has become so sensitive?

Song Shengfu cried and thought to herself, if the servants saw this, she would be so embarrassed.

But she couldn't care less at this moment. She felt so uncomfortable that she wanted to cry.

I cried all the way back to Bisongyuan. Fortunately, the ancestral hall was not far from the courtyard and was only a few steps away.

But even so, he was still caught by the servants in the mansion.

These servants are almost scared to death, why is the old lady crying?

In this way, this matter soon reached the ears of Duan Jingzong, Lu, Wei Jie'er who was learning housekeeping from Lu, and Ding Meishu.

Even Duan Jing'an, who was originally planning to "work overtime", received the news from the mansion. After meeting the person who delivered the message, Duan Jing'an hurriedly arranged his affairs and returned home.

Song Shengfu didn't know what was wrong with her, she couldn't stop crying, as if she wanted to cry out all the tears she hadn't cried in the past few years.

Hearing the wailing coming from the inner room, Duan Jingzong and the others felt their scalps tingling and looked at the closed door worriedly.

"Brother, what happened to mother?"

Duan Jing'an hurried over, stood beside Ding Meishu, and looked inside with worried eyes.

Duan Jingzong shook his head. He, Lu and Sister Wei had just arrived and didn't know what was going on.

At this time, Mother Qi was "driven" out by Song Shengfu, and as soon as she came out, she was surrounded by four big boys and one small boy.

"Mother Qi, what happened to mother?"

Duan Jingzong looked a little anxious, and the others were also looking at her.

Mother Qi sighed and gestured to lead the few people away.

"The old lady is thinking about Third Aunt. She has never mentioned her in the past few years. In fact, she has been holding it in her heart. It's better to cry it out so as not to hurt her body."

Mother Qi told everyone in detail what the old lady had just eavesdropped on in the ancestral hall.

"The old lady loves my son and thinks of my aunt, so she can't help but feel sad. In the past few years, except for the few times when she cried at the beginning, she never mentioned the third aunt on her own initiative. This makes me feel uncomfortable. The old lady is angry, maybe at herself. She always says that it's okay for her daughter not to marry. I thought she was talking about the second aunt, but now I know it's the third aunt."

As Mother Qi spoke, she also began to cry.

The old lady loved her children the most, and every one of them was dear to her heart. There was a time in the past when life was very difficult, and she took care of every one of them.

I suddenly lost one and can never find it again. The pain in my heart is no less than that of anyone else.

As Mother Qi spoke, she secretly hated those gossipers.

I also told this matter to the uncle and several others. The mansion will never tolerate such a villain who commits rebellion.

Without waiting for anyone else to react, Lu was so angry that she almost fainted.

It was her fault that the servants in the mansion had quarrels.

Now that the brother and the old lady in the family have been injured to this extent, if anything happens to them, she will be blamed for it.

In this situation, Mrs. Lu doesn't know how to face her husband, younger brother, and sister-in-law.

The person she felt most guilty towards was her mother. She had let her mother down. Her mother once said that she was a good housekeeper, but how could she be considered a good housekeeper?

It’s so embarrassing to think about it now.

She didn't even dare to look at Sister Wei. Now the servants dared to gossip in front of their master. She was just an incompetent mistress.

At this time, Song Shengfu's hoarse voice came from the inner room.

"You all come in."
