Chapter 256 Promise
"I can promise that what happened before will not happen again. I'm fine, really. I will keep taking medicine." Seeing that Hong Xiaoduo did not respond, Hua Shi spoke again to assure.
The incident she was talking about should refer to the first time she met Kaiyang on the street and the incident when she threatened to commit suicide in order to meet Kaiyang outside the inn in the middle of the night.
"Madam, in fact, if you firmly believe that Kaiyang is your son, you can always find a way to keep this child by your side. After all, the status of the Wei family and the strength of your mother's family are there." Feeling that Hua's emotions were very stable, Hong Xiaoduo spoke.
Hong Xiaoduo remembered very clearly that Lord Wei Junpei had said that day that in the past they had tried to find some children who looked similar to Tong'er and were of similar age to adopt, but the Hua family had always been very resistant.
After meeting Kaiyang, Hua was so excited that she couldn't control her emotions and even threatened to die in order to see Kaiyang. But now, she was cautiously discussing whether to take Kaiyang with her when leaving the capital?
After hearing what Hong Xiaoduo said, Hua waved her hands and said, "Miss Hong, please don't misunderstand me. Now as long as I can follow you and see him every day, I am already very satisfied. As for other things, I dare not ask for them." As she spoke, Hua's voice gradually became weaker.
After calming down these few days, I thought a lot and didn't dare to think about whether the child named Kaiyang was his own flesh and blood.
However, when she saw the child laughing, she would laugh along with him unconsciously.
Suddenly an idea came to my mind: why bother so much, it is enough if I just think he is the one.
After Tong'er got into trouble, her wet nurse committed suicide out of self-blame. She had always thought about ending her life altogether.
As the biological mother of the child, she failed to protect the child and let the child get into trouble. It was her fault as a mother. Why did she have to find a wet nurse when there was no breast milk?
Otherwise, if the child sleeps in his own room, next to me, then nothing will happen, right?
After the child got into trouble, she went out and heard women on the street talking about her, saying that she had a weak relationship with the child. Although they spoke with sympathy and not gloating, it was like a sharp knife cutting through her heart. That feeling made her stay at home for a long time.
Her parents-in-law and husband were worried about her health, so they looked for a suitable child for her to adopt, thinking that this would slowly heal her heart disease.
However, no matter how much the child looked like Tong'er, she still refused to give in. She was very reluctant and emotional at the time, because if she adopted the child, it would mean that she herself admitted that Tong'er was really no longer alive.
So, how could she allow this to happen.
She was not an unreasonable person, and she made her position clear to her parents-in-law and husband, hoping that he would take a concubine so as not to cut off the bloodline of this family that already had few offspring!
She even asked to step down and give up her position as the main wife. However, although her mother-in-law also had such thoughts, her husband firmly disagreed. Her father-in-law also said that if this bloodline was really cut off, it was fate.
She also knew that this was the case and she felt very sorry for her parents-in-law and husband. She also wanted to let go of Tong'er's matter, take care of her health and find a way to have another child.
But, she really couldn't do it.
Whenever she saw her parents-in-law and husband at home, she would feel guilty. After the beginning of spring this year, she discussed with her husband that she wanted to go out for a walk. Although the whole family was worried, they still agreed.
Everything was fine when she arrived at Baihe Town, until that day when she was walking out of the town alone and accidentally saw several wild dogs tearing apart a tiger-head hat worn by a little child. She suddenly collapsed mentally and became ill.
The maid and guard didn't keep an eye on the child and ran out to the street. Unexpectedly, she met the child. Just one glance at the child on the street and she felt her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
After calming down in the past few days, she realized that what cured her was not the medicine that her mother and others had persuaded her to take every day, but the child named Kaiyang. After calming down, she told herself that it was impossible for such a good thing to happen!
She also didn't want everyone to believe that Kaiyang was her biological son Tong'er. It was enough for her to think that he was.
That way, there will be no disappointment.
This disappointment was equivalent to despair for her. Once it was confirmed that Kaiyang was not her Tong'er, then her only attachment to this world would no longer exist.
Therefore, as long as she doesn't really try to prove the result, she will maintain the current state. Even if this is an illusory dream, she would rather stay in this dream for the rest of her life and never wake up.
"Miss Hong, I can sign a document and travel with you. Even if something happens to me, I will take the responsibility myself and will never blame you. My parents-in-law, husband, and my family are all reasonable people and will never vent their anger on you." Hua raised her head and added seriously.
"Okay, I agree. But since Madam will be following us all the time, you must take good care of your body. After all, it is hard and tiring to travel outside." Hong Xiaoduo said with a smile.
Hearing that she actually agreed, Hua looked at Hong Xiaoduo in disbelief and murmured, "Aren't you kidding me? I know you suddenly decided to go to the capital, saying that you have something to do, but in fact, you probably just want to send me back to Wei Mansion safely."
"Why would I lie to you, madam? It's okay if you don't believe me. Anyway, if I go back on my word and don't take you away, if you really want to follow me, I will find a way." Hong Xiaoduo didn't expect that when she decided to go to the capital, she made up an excuse and failed to fool Hua.
I thought her mind was on Kaiyang and she wouldn't pay attention to such things.
Hua stared at Hong Xiaoduo in a daze for a while, then suddenly stood up and walked towards her own carriage.
Niang and Guard Yan, who had been keeping an eye on this place, were very curious when they saw their wife coming back excitedly.
"From today on, I need to take care of my body and take some nourishing food. When we get to a clinic, remember to find a doctor for me." Hua said as she got on the carriage, sat in the carriage and looked at Kaiyang from the window.
Niang responded quickly and looked at Guard Yan, asking with her eyes what was wrong with the lady? Why did she suddenly care about her health?
Guard Yan nodded towards Hong Xiaoduo. What did she mean? Do you still need to ask? It must have been that young lady who explained it to him!
"Madam, when we leave the house, the old lady asked us to take the health-preserving pills prescribed by Doctor Quan. Would you like to take one now?" Niang asked hurriedly.
"Okay." Hua Shi agreed immediately.
Niang also hurriedly got on the carriage, found the gourd containing the pills in the package, suppressed her inner excitement, poured out a pill and handed it to her. Seeing that her wife took it without hesitation and swallowed it, she quickly handed her some water.
Niang was very happy, and thought that when she returned to the capital, she would say many good things about Miss Hong and ask the master of the family to reward her well. This Miss Hong was simply the Bodhisattva Guanyin.
Hong Xiaoduo, who had already boarded the carriage, heard Old Man Luo's call and quickly closed her eyes to rest, entering the space in her mind...
