Chapter 113 The Marquis’s Wife Faked Her Death (17)
They passed through a series of dilapidated doors and entered a dilapidated courtyard.
The walls in the yard are peeling and the flowers and plants are withered, making it look particularly desolate.
Mu Ziyi looked around, and an indescribable emotion surged in his heart.
This was where he grew up, but now it has become so dilapidated.
He couldn't help but recall the memories of the past. Those good times seemed like an illusory dream, elusive.
Mu Ziyi, Lin Qingqing and his son had just approached Madam Hou's yard when they heard his own mother's voice in the room, which was filled with sorrow and longing!
"Yier, I don't know when he will be able to come back. I am old and I don't know if I can see Yier before I die."
Mu Ziyi, who was outside the courtyard, heard Madam Hou's words and knew that his mother was thinking about him, so he walked in quickly and called out loudly, "Mother!"
"Yier, you're finally back!"
As soon as Mu Ziyi stepped into the door, he saw an old woman with a thin figure and haggard face.
Her eyes sparkled with tears and her lips trembled, revealing endless excitement and joy.
Mu Ziyi widened his eyes, unable to believe what he saw.
He walked up quickly, hugged his mother tightly, tears streaming down his face.
"mother?"
Mu Ziyi's voice trembled with disbelief.
He looked at his mother's face carefully and found that her appearance was no longer as graceful and elegant as it used to be, but had become old and haggard.
Her hair was as white as snow, her face was covered with wrinkles, and her body was distressingly thin.
Mu Ziyi felt heavy-hearted and could not accept this reality.
He couldn't help but ask, "Mom, how did you become like this? Where's Lan Xin? Shouldn't she be taking good care of you?"
Mu Ziyi's eyes were filled with anger and disappointment.
He couldn't understand why Lan Xin didn't fulfill her responsibility to take care of her mother and instead put her in such a predicament.
He decided to find Lan Xin to ask her clearly and find out the truth of the matter.
He looked around but didn't see Lan Xin. As his wife, even a ghost wouldn't remain indifferent knowing that he was back.
Thinking of certain possibilities, Mu Ziyi hurriedly denied them in his heart.
It's impossible. Lan Xin and he grew up together and they have a deep relationship. How could she possibly remarry?
Besides, he died because of him. Shouldn't she stay in the Marquis' Mansion and work like a slave to atone for her sins?
Looking at his miserable mother, Mu Ziyi could only suppress the doubts in his heart, "Mom, I'm back."
Mu Ziyi said this and knelt on the ground.
"Mother, I am unfilial and have made you suffer."
Old Madam Hou was a little excited and wanted to help Mu Ziyi, who was kneeling on the ground, up.
But the next moment...
Because she was too excited, Madam Hou forgot her situation for a moment and fell straight to the ground.
"mother!"
Exclamations rang out!
With a scream, Mu Ziyi hurriedly supported his mother who was about to fall to the ground.
Madam Hou ignored her own physical condition and stroked Mu Ziyi's face, tears of joy streaming down her face, "Yier! It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"
"Mom, what are you doing?"
Mu Ziyi looked at Madam Hou's physical condition in front of him with a look of disbelief and shock on his face.
"Ugh!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Hou sighed heavily and said, "My mother had a serious illness and didn't recover. As a result, she ended up like this!"
It turned out that because Lan Xin didn't help, Madam Hou took care of Mu Ziyi's funeral alone. She was already quite old, and naturally fell ill due to overwork.
In addition, Lan Xin brought her dowry back to the general's mansion soon after, and Mu Ziyi took away almost all of the Marquis's belongings, leaving the old lady of the Marquis with no money to maintain her health.
Although the disease was cured in the end, his lower body was still unable to move, which could be considered paralyzed.
"mother!"
After Mu Ziyi knew the general situation, he felt extremely guilty. He felt that it was all because of him that his mother became like this.
Madam Hou had only one child, Mu Ziyi, so she naturally felt very sorry for him. Seeing Mu Ziyi feeling so guilty, she immediately comforted him, "Don't blame Yi'er. You did this for the betterment of the Marquis' Mansion. Mother doesn't blame you."
"mother!"
Mu Ziyi was moved when he heard this and spoke.
"Yier, who are these two?"
Madam Hou was originally talking to a maid beside her, but when she suddenly saw the two people following Mu Ziyi, she stopped talking and looked at Mu Ziyi with some confusion.
Her eyes first fell on Lin Qingqing. She was dressed simply and there was nothing particularly outstanding about her.
Then her gaze shifted to Mu Mu, and when she saw the little face that looked somewhat like her son, the thoughts in her mind were about to come out.
Could this child be...
"Mom, this is Qingqing, a poor woman my son rescued from the outside world. She is also the mother of your grandson."
After introducing Lin Qingqing, Mu Ziyi took his son's hand and said with pride and joy, "Mom, this is your grandson Mu Mu."
Hearing Mu Ziyi's words, Mrs. Hou's eyes instantly became moist and tears rolled down her cheeks.
She stretched out her hands tremblingly and held Mu Mu's little hands tightly, her eyes full of joy and emotion.
"Great! Our Marquis' Mansion finally has an heir."
Mrs. Hou was so excited that she said "good" twice, her voice choked and tears flowed uncontrollably.
She had finally waited for this day. The Marquis's Mansion now had a successor. Her feelings were beyond words.
She looked at Mu Mu with a loving face and said softly, "My dear grandson, I am your grandmother."
