Old Madam Zhao sighed and said, “This is really what master Yitong said back then. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been willing to let Ling Xuan become a monk…”
Ling Xuan said, “There is no such thing as fate in Buddhism. Heaven Demon Lone Star is what Taoism said. There is no such thing in Buddhism. I don’t know why Master Yitong said this back then, but this theory of fate is nonsense.”
Lady Zhao covered her heart and said, “Good, good. You are going to watch mother lose her life because of you!”
Ling Xuan said helplessly, “If you think so, just think so. I have a clear conscience.”
Lady Zhao saw that Lady Zhao’s heart was hurting, so she did not ask Ling Xuan to follow her back to the Zhao family. That would only make the house restless.
Qiao nihong said, “This is really strange. This is the first time I’ve seen such a mother.”
Lu Weiyang said, “Fortunately, we won’t stay in Chang ‘an after we get married. Ling Xuan, Don’t take this matter to heart.”
Ling Xuan held Lu Weiyang’s hand and said, “I’ve never taken this matter to heart.”
Lu Weiyang asked Qiao nihong, “I haven’t seen cousin Niechang for a long time. What has she been doing?”
Qiao ni Hong said, “Fifth aunt has been seriously ill recently. She has been taking care of fifth aunt. Fifth aunt hasn’t been going to the imperial court for a long time.”
Lu Weiyang said, “AH, fifth aunt is sick. I actually didn’t know about this. I’m going to visit fifth aunt.”
Qiao ni Hong pulled Lu Weiyang’s hand and said, “You shouldn’t go for now.”
Lu Weiyang said, “Why?”
Qiao Nihong sighed, “You shouldn’t go. The Xie residence is already in a state of chaos. A few days ago, fifth aunt thought that she didn’t have much time left, so she called her loyal death attendants and brought her to the Qiao family’s ancestral grave. She opened Uncle Luo’s grave.”
Lu Weiyang didn’t even know about uncle Luo. When she was sensible, she only had an uncle, Xie Yun. She didn’t have any impression of Luo Wei.
Qiao Nihong told Lu Weiyang about the past, “This fifth aunt planned to be buried together with uncle Luo after she died. After uncle Xie found out about this, he went into the grave and brought her out.
These few days, the Xie family has been in a mess. Fifth aunt’s illness has been repeated over and over again. It’s better that you don’t go.”
..
The Xie family.
Qiao Nichang stood in front of Qiao Ruoyi’s sickbed. Her eyes were red as she said, “Mother, you have to persevere. You will recover soon.”
Qiao ruoyi said slowly, “Yes, mother will persevere, at least you have to watch my Nichang get married! Yu’er is a good person, with sister’s character, you will not be mistreated as a mother-in-law.”
Qiao nichang said, “Mother, you will definitely recover, definitely!”
Qiao ruoyi slowly closed her eyes, “Mother is tired, sleep for a while. Nichang, you have to remember, in the future, you have to bury mother and your father Luo Wei together.”
“Don’t even think about it. If you dare to close your eyes in front of me, I will never allow you to be buried together with Luo Wei!”
Xie Yun entered and said to Qiao ruoyi, “It’s been 15 years, a long 15 years. Our Son is almost 13 years old. Can’t you let him go? How am I not as good as him? He’s only been with you for three short years, and I’ve been with you for 15 long years…”
Qiao ruoyi looked at Xie Yun and said, “Xie Yun, this doesn’t concern the length of time, it only concerns whether my heart is moved or not. My heart is very small, and it can only accommodate the child and Luo Wei.
Xie Yun, I know that you’ve been extremely good to me these 15 years, even better than how Luo Wei treated me back then.
“I’ve also chosen to forgive you and raise my children with you. Cough, cough, cough, but I don’t love you…”
Xie Yun clenched her hands tightly when she heard this. “Are you really that heartless? If I had agreed to marry you back then, nothing would have happened to Luo Wei. Luo Wei has been dead for 15 years. He has been reincarnated long ago!
“As long as you dare to die in front of me, you can only be buried with me!”
Qiao ruoyi held Qiao Nichang’s hand tightly and said, “Nichang, you must bury me and Luo Wei together.”
Nichang cried bitterly and said, “Mother…”
Qiao Nichang looked at her father, who looked extremely pale, and then at Qiao ruoyi, who looked extremely pale. She did not know that she had made such a decision.
Qiao Nichang remembered Luo Wei’s father. When she was young, she forced herself to remember Luo Wei’s father. She also had to remember that Xie Yun did not want her at the beginning, but later on, Xie Yun treated her very well.
Fifteen years of getting along was not a short period of time. Qiao Nichang felt guilty and grateful towards Luo Wei, so she did not dare to forget. Hence, when Xie Yun suggested many times that she change her surname to enter the Xie family tree, Qiao Nichang did not agree.
She knew that Xie Yun loved her very much, so Xie Yun would compromise on this matter.
However, she did not know what to do when it came to the question of who Qiao ruoyi would be buried with?
Her father loved her mother very much. All these years, he had treated her extremely well. If she chose to bury her mother and father Luo Wei together, it would really hurt her father’s heart.
However, if she were to bury her mother and father together, how would she be able to let her mother down?
Qiao Nichang could not stop her tears from falling as she said, “Mother, you will get better. You will live a long life. Little Brother is still so young. You Can’t bear to leave us.”
Qiao ruoyi held Qiao Nichang’s hand tightly and said, “Promise Me, okay?”
Xie Yun said, “Nichang.”
Qiao Nichang simply broke free from Qiao Ruoyi’s hand and said, “Don’t force me. I don’t know what to do! I don’t want you to leave, mother. I don’t want either of you to be sad!”
Qiao Nichang wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, “Mother, don’t think so much. Just take care of your body, okay?”
Lan Xin came in from the door and said, “Master, Madam, outside, the Wu King couple and crown prince Qian Yu are here.”
Qiao Ruoyi was seriously ill and Qiao Ruoyun wanted to discuss the wedding. Firstly, the wedding had already been prepared and the wedding could be celebrated in advance. Secondly, if there was an accident, Qiao ruoyi would not have any regrets.
Qian Yu saw that Qiao Nichang’s eyes were red and his heart was upset. However, because of the elders, he could not go forward to comfort her.
Qiao Ruoyun saw that Qiao Ruoyi was thin and weak and asked, “Are you still a Gu worm from the early years?”
Qiao ruoyi replied, “It has nothing to do with Gu Worms. It’s just that my body is not well. Ahem, big sister… the marriage between Nichang and Yu’er might be brought forward…”
Qiao Ruoyun held Qiao Ruoyi’s hand and said, “Of course, of course. I’m here for this.”
Qiao ruoyi said, “That’s good. It’s good to see Nichang get married.”
Qian Yin said to Xie Yun, “The wedding has been prepared long ago. We’ve chosen three good dates for the wedding. What do you think?”
Qiao ruoyi forced herself to stand up and said, “Just the next few days. The closer the better… Yu’er.”
“Fifth aunt.”Qian Yu walked up to Qiao Ruoyi and said.
Qiao ruoyi said to Qian Yu, “Treat Nichang well. Also, Nichang is not the daughter of the Xie family after all. She has to get married from the Qiao family…”
Qiao Ruoyun and Qian Yin looked at each other and looked at Xie Yun, “This…”
