Jixiang felt relieved, sat down, and said hesitantly to Song Tong and Song Fu: "Dad, brother, I have something to discuss with you."
Song Fu said hurriedly: "My dear daughter, just say what you have to say."
"In the afternoon, the doctor came over to check my mother's pulse. He also said that my mother's illness might not be cured for a while and that she needed someone to keep an eye on her at all times. So I thought about whether I should write a letter to my mother and report this. "I want to stay in Beidi and serve my mother until she grows old."
Song Fu was startled: "My child, have you thought carefully about this?"
Song Tong also frowned: "Jixiang, if you are worried about my mother, I can guarantee that I will take good care of her. Just go back to Dali."
Before Jixiang left for Beidi, Mu Nanzhi repeatedly told her to leave early and return home early. Song Fu and Song Tong also knew this. At this time, they were naturally surprised when they heard Jixiang said that she wanted to stay in Beidi. Moreover, they are now with Jixiang is a family, so we must consider Jixiang. Jixiang is Mu Nanzhi’s best confidant. Returning to Dali will naturally have a bright future. In the future, she will definitely marry into a reputable family in Dali. If she stays in Beidi, where will she be? Are you so lucky
Therefore, Song Fu and Song Tong were very worried.
Song Fu clapped Ji Xiang's hand and said seriously: "Girl, you have to think clearly, this is a major event in your life, it's not just a moment of confusion."
"Dad, I have been thinking about it for a long time," Ji Xiang said with a serious face, "As a servant, I have served my mother for twenty years. Naturally, I am reluctant to be separated from her, but as a woman, I have never given up. I am filial to my mother at her bedside. Now that my mother is ill and in pieces, how can I only care about my own future and leave her behind?"
"Then stay," Song Tong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up and looked at Ji Xiang, "When you can fulfill your filial piety, do it properly. The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. The son wants to be raised but cannot be kissed. As long as he is alive, It would be best not to have such an experience.”
Ji Xiang naturally understood what he meant, and he breathed a long sigh of relief. He nodded and said softly to Song Tong, "Brother is right."

Jiajiyuan.
Not long after Jixiang left, Mu Yuante rushed back. Lu Minglan listened to the footsteps outside in the distance, and was so busy that she wiped her tears. Mu Yuante was most afraid of seeing her cry. During this New Year festival, she He also didn’t want to make Mu Yuante sad.
"After meeting Jixiang, are you finally at ease now?" Mu Yuante came in with a smile on his face, holding a bowl of hot medicinal food in his hand. He put it on the small table and put the spoon into Lu Minglan's hand. At the same time, he said, "During this period, you have always been worried about me. Now you have finally put your worries behind you, right? Eat a bowl of medicinal food."
Lu Minglan held the spoon and took two bites. She finally suppressed the sourness in her heart. When she looked up again, she was already smiling and smiling: "Yes, I have been worried about Nanzhi. I just heard what Jixiang said. The daily life of the couple is finally relieved."
"Yes, Song Tong just told me something, that the Emperor of Dali treats my daughter sincerely, so don't worry," Mu Yuante said, paused, and then said, "Nanshan is not a bad place in Dali. , the emperor regarded him as a humerus, and entrusted him with guarding all the important places in Qinghai. It seemed a bit harder, but it showed that he trusted him. Moreover, Song Tong said that this was what Nanshan had repeatedly asked for. Since he was unwilling Just go back to Beidi and stay in Dali."
