Two months and nine days. From the time he left Pu City until now, this time was not too long, but it was gradually increasing. Lou Xiaoyi looked at the low walls of Pu City and secretly warned himself that he could not make it longer each time. This would make the people who cared about him anxiously.
When he entered the city, the soldiers at the city gate looked a little strange. The familiar merchants on the street were also the same. This gave him an ominous feeling in his heart.
He rushed back to Lou Province. His appearance did not change, but the gatekeeper's expression could not be hidden from him. It was an expression that only appeared when something big had happened at home!
"What happened? Tell me the truth. "
The current young master of Lou Family was not the young master of the past. There was an unquestionable power in his every move.
The gatekeeper knelt on the ground and cried, "Young master, it happened a month ago. The new emperor ascended the throne, but he still bears a grudge for being punished by the old master to kneel in public. A month ago, he sent a messenger, saying that he wanted the madam to enter the capital to see the emperor and see the glory of the golden age.
If she did not go, it would be like kneeling before the emperor under the scorching sun. Two hours would be enough!
The madam chose not to go and knelt in front of the court at noon. In less than an hour, she fainted. Madam Caihuan took her place and knelt for the last time, but who knew that after the time passed, the two old madams fell ill!
The madam knelt for a shorter time, but her legs are now unable to walk and she is bedridden. Madam Caihuan only lasted for a few days before passing away … "
Lou Xiaoyi only felt a wave of anger in his heart that was about to burst out! He subconsciously wanted to turn the horse, but he did not expect that the gatekeeper would grab the reins tightly and shout at the top of his voice into the mansion,
"The young master is back. Everyone, help me hold him back …"
A large number of servants quickly rushed out of the courtyard. They reined in their horses and hugged his legs. They were afraid that the young master would be angry and turn the horses back to the capital!
Wasn't that courting death?
How could Lou Xiaoyi be held back by these ordinary people? The reason why he did not move was that his strong self-control as a cultivator was telling him that now was not the time to go back!
He was not alone! His mother was sick in bed!
He didn't have the ability to complete his revenge behind his mother's back. He could run for his life, but could his mother do the same at her age?
With a light struggle, he, who did not look very strong, had already broken free from the entanglement of many men. His tone had also returned to normal, as if he was just an ordinary servant.
"Close the door. Don't let the people outside see you as a joke!"
Seeing him walk towards the inner residence, the servants also let go of their hands, knowing that he was going to see the mistress. With the mistress speaking up, the young master should listen, right?
Speaking of which, why did Young Master have so much strength? Even a group of servants who were used to doing rough work couldn't control them at all? It seemed that the few years of practicing martial arts had made the young master's martial prowess extraordinary.
As Lou Xiaoyi walked towards the inner residence, he tried his best to control his speed. What was done could not be undone, and there was no point in being anxious. He needed to calm down in the shortest amount of time possible. He was the only pillar of support left in the vast Lou Province. If he panicked, this family would be gone!
Therefore, in the eyes of the servants and maids along the way, the young master was still as calm as ever, as if nothing had happened.
Even when he saw the potted plants by the side of the path, he specially instructed the servants to add water to them. They were a little withered!
Could it be that no one had told the young master about the news? But now, no one dared to speak up rashly!
Outside the inner residence, Ping An was anxiously pacing around. When he saw Lou Xiaoyi return, he hurriedly went up to welcome him. However, Lou Xiaoyi waved his hand at him.
"I know! No need to panic. Calm down the people in the outer courtyard. If there are people who have bad intentions, you can just dismiss them.
Your mission is to take care of the matters in the outer courtyard, including the farms. Don't let others see you as a joke and take advantage of you.
I'm here with mother! "
Ping An finally had a pillar of support. He knew a little about the young master's miraculous abilities. Although he was usually afraid that he would cause trouble, now that trouble had come knocking, the one he relied on was still someone who liked to cause trouble!
This was the wonder of the world!
He walked all the way inside and slowly entered his mother's bedroom. A thick smell of medicine assailed his nostrils. Outside the screen, an old doctor with a white beard was instructing his disciples to decoct medicine. Lou Xiaoyi recognized him. He was not from Pu City, but was the most famous old doctor in the prefecture. He had come to treat his mother before. It seemed that Ping An's reaction was not bad this time. He knew the severity of the situation.
He bowed to the old doctor. He would not look down on the mortal world's doctors just because his methods might be better. He was indeed skilled in a certain aspect, but the old doctor was a professional!
The old doctor returned the greeting. Neither of them spoke as they were afraid to disturb the person sleeping soundly inside. Lou Xiaoyi pointed behind the screen, indicating that he should go in and see his mother. The old doctor nodded and put a finger on his lips, indicating that he should not disturb the patient.
After Lou Xiaoyi turned around the screen, there were only two servants who were the closest to his mother. They were both old people who had been with his mother for at least ten years. Their complexions were thin, and it seemed that they had suffered a lot these days.
The two servants gently moved away from the bed and allowed their young master to come closer. Lou Xiaoyi frowned. The smell of medicine here was getting stronger. He did not know what benefits such an environment would bring to the patient. Anyway, he knew that in his previous life, except for special infectious diseases, almost all the wards were clean, well-ventilated, and had green plants and flowers. Only such an environment could give the patient a good mood!
Mood was crucial to the recovery of any patient because it was the root of miracles!
As he approached the bed, his mother seemed to have changed into a different person. Her eyes were sunken, her cheeks were sunken, and her complexion was ashen. Lou Xiaoyi knew that this was not only a physical blow, but also a psychological blow. If her legs were not able to walk, it would not drag her down like this. It was the psychological self-blame caused by Aunt Caihuan's death that made his mother feel guilty.
Sitting on the small stool in front of the bed, he stretched out a hand and held his mother's bony hand. At this moment, because of her motherly nature, Lou Xiaoyi's hand suddenly tightened and tightly grasped Lou Xiaoyi's hand. The strength was so great that it was not something a fifty or sixty year old woman should have. Immediately, she opened her eyes. Because of the sudden movement, she could not see clearly. She could only shout,
"Little Yi is back? Is it Little Yi? Stay here with me. You are not allowed to go anywhere! "
Lou Xiaoyi said softly, "Mother, Little Yi is back. I will stay here. I will not go anywhere!"
Lou Yaoshi still could not see clearly because of the gushing tears. However, she could hear the voice that she had yearned for day and night. As strong as she was, she was still a woman. When disaster befell her, the only person she could rely on was her son. No matter how willful, how unruly, how disobedient he was …
This was the reason why she raised her son!
