But it was about a child. How could the old lady accept it so easily? She had to find Liu Congdie.
That night they sent people around to look for her, and even went to the Liu family in person. The Liu family was not happy because their daughter had severed ties with them, but since it was the county magistrate's house, they still opened the door and patiently said that their daughter had not come back.
He also said that he was no longer part of their family.
In fact, they wanted to blame the Liu family for their daughter's disappearance, but because the Liu family was the county magistrate, they couldn't even blame them.
When we severed the relationship, we also said that life or death had nothing to do with them.
The old lady was so anxious that she couldn't sleep well all night. The next day the whole city knew that the county magistrate's concubine was missing.
Everyone was wondering what was going on. How could he run away from home
Shi Qianshuang was also extremely curious and sent a letter to Meng Li asking him to find her. Where Meng Li had gone, she asked directly:
"What's going on?"
Meng Li couldn't say that the weasel spirit was taken away by a Taoist priest. It sounded too fantasy. He could only say:
"Maybe the aunt was disgusted with dad, so she simply ran away from home."
Shi Qianshuang: "?"
"Don't they have a strong friendship?"
How could everyone suddenly run away
"I don't know, maybe there was a conflict between the two of them." Meng Li said calmly.
Shi Qianshuang said in disbelief: "How can a woman be so willful? She has a child?"
Meng Li shook his head and said he couldn't understand.
Time passed day by day, April and May passed by in a flash. The old lady could not find Liu Congdie. She wiped her tears at home all day and shouted at Liu Ruiguang:
"You said you can't even keep a concubine. Where is the child? Your child should be born by now, right?"
Liu Ruiguang's mouth was full of bitterness. He had been depressed in the past few months. His concubine was a goblin who was taken away by a Taoist priest. She deceived his feelings and ruined his family. He could not explain the suffering.
Now looking back on the sweetness in the past, it was just a dream. Only he showed his sincerity, and the other party kept pretending to cater to her. Liu Ruiguang felt very heartbroken when he thought of this.
"Forget it if you can't find her. Since she is gone, my child will not be born." Liu Ruiguang told the old lady with a bitter face.
Just to make the old lady give up.
Stop thinking about the child. He is thinking about what will happen to him if her true form is not discovered.
"So is it just like this?" The old lady was also very desperate. She couldn't swallow the rice in the bowl and wiped her tears.
Meng Li was holding dishes indifferently at the side, and then a servant came in and said to Liu Ruiguang:
"Sir, your letter."
Liu Ruiguang reached out to receive it, opened the letter, and Meng Li scanned it with his mental power. It turned out to be a letter from Taoist Li, and asked Liu Ruiguang to go to him if he had time.
Liu Ruiguang thought for a moment and knew it was about the weasel spirit. His expression was painful and serious. The old lady glanced at him and asked casually:
"Whose letter?"
"It's okay, some business matters." Liu Ruiguang also answered vaguely.
"Grandson, that must be a little grandson." The old lady yelled again with a sad look on her face. She kept yelling every day for as long as Liu Congdie disappeared.
Liu Ruiguang was patient and told the old lady over and over again that Liu Congdie would not come back.
"Why… "
"Hey...hey..."
The old lady kept sighing, which made her feel irritable. After dinner, Liu Ruiguang advised her:
"Mom, you should go to sleep. This is the end of the matter. Don't be upset about it anymore."
"But..." The old lady hesitated, glanced at Meng Li, and whispered to Liu Ruiguang:
"I also thought that now that your backyard is empty, I'm afraid you might feel lonely, and you can't continue like this."
Liu Ruiguang rubbed his brows tiredly:
"Now I don't want to marry a wife and have concubines, please understand."
The old lady didn't speak anymore. It's not like she hasn't helped her son look for him during this time.
Although she is a bit older, she is the county magistrate after all. Given her status, there are still unmarried women with similar family backgrounds who are willing to marry. However, the old lady is greedy and can always find big or small problems in others. When I saw the shortcomings, I felt disgusted with him, so I never looked for a good one for Liu Ruiguang.
"Go and rest."
Liu Ruiguang spoke again, and Meng Li came closer at this time. Probably because she didn't want Meng Li to hear some words, the old lady closed her mouth, stood up, and left with a sigh.
Shaking his head, he kept thinking about committing evil.
"Did the Taoist priest give you a letter?" Meng Li stepped forward and asked.
Liu Ruiguang looked at Meng Li warily: "What are you doing?"
Meng Li said: "When you were reading it just now, I took a peek and already knew the general content of the letter."
"Then?" Liu Ruiguang's face was solemn.
Meng Li smiled: "I want to go too."
"What are you going to do?" he asked.
Meng Li: "I just want to see what happens to the person who caused my mother to leave this home, can't I? Then I will tell this matter everywhere."
"How dare you! You're threatening me again." Liu Ruiguang had no choice but to tone Meng Li harder, trying to suppress Meng Li's momentum. Unfortunately, Meng Li's face remained calm and he turned around and said:
"If you don't take me, I really can't control this mouth."
"Don't talk nonsense when you go." Liu Ruiguang finally compromised.
Meng Li smiled, went back and changed into more comfortable clothes, and went to wait at Liu Ruiguang's door. When the car arrived at the foot of the mountain, Liu Ruiguang looked up at the top of the mountain:
"You have to climb a very high mountain. You haven't had to do this since you were a child, so why bother."
Meng Li: "I'm not afraid."
She came to this world and practiced, in order to prepare spiritual power to deal with the weasel spirit, but it was too weak, even worse than ordinary people, and could not use the spiritual power at all, but because of the cultivation, her physical quality also changed Yes, you will never feel tired after climbing a mountain.
The two of them climbed up the mountain until they saw the Taoist priest's hut. Liu Ruiguang's face was red from exhaustion and there were beads of sweat on his forehead. Meng Li's face was still rosy and his breathing was even. She looked at Liu Ruiguang with a half-smile but said:
"You are too old to survive."
"So stop fussing and make fewer mistakes in the rest of your life."
Liu Ruiguang remained silent, always feeling that his daughter's words were meaningful, and then heard his daughter say:
"It's hard for everyone in the world to know that they are wrong, let alone reflect deeply on it."
This sentence was more like a sigh from her, which made Liu Ruiguang think of himself.
He was asking himself, was it really wrong
Maybe I was wrong. At that time, I chose to believe in a weasel spirit, which made my wife feel cold. In the beginning, I alienated my wife and daughter because of a weasel spirit who came to take revenge on them.
Thinking that his daughter would call him daddy softly and sweetly, but now her eyes only looked at him with coldness and indifference, he felt a pain in his heart.
