Chapter 68: Meeting on a narrow path

___________________________________________________________

At this moment, a desperate knocking sound was heard on the outside, Li Wei Yang frowned, “Who is it?”

“Xiaojie, it is Mo Zhu.” Mo Zhu whispered, the desperateness in her voice made Li Wei Yang felt an inexpressible omen.

“Enter!”

Once Mo Zhu entered and saw Li Min De, her expression revealed surprise and tears immediately formed in her eyes as she said: “Xiaojie, San furen ……. San Furen can’t anymore ……”

A pain struck in Li Wei Yang’s heart and she unconsciously looked towards him, this young boy’s expression at this moment did not show a speck of abnormality, it was as if he didn’t just heard news about the danger of his adopted mother’s illness and instead it was matter that was none of his business. But his hands were actually shaking really hard, the movements within his eyes were indubitably the pain that was difficult to veil.

He was a child after all …… Li Wei Yang tightly held onto his hand.

Li Min De looked towards her and immediately smiled, he said: “I have to return now.”

“I will go with you.” Li Wei Yang sighed as she gently said.

In San furen’s room, a piece of fine red thread was seen slipping out from the drapes; Lao furen specifically invited an imperial physician over to check her pulse. The old physician’s beard had already passed his chest, his eyes were slightly closed, his mouth was quietly chanting something. Even though Li Wei Yang had saw San furen’s ill countenance in the day but seeing her again she had feelings of palpitation. San furen, who was originally gentle and beautiful, had become emaciated like a thin shadow. She was lying in heavy layers of blanket, her breathing extremely rapid, it seemed like if she missed a breath, her life would have ended.

At this point, Lao furen was not sitting far away as she anxiously looked towards the physician. Da furen and Er furen were both standing on the sides. Lao furen had already lost a son, she had experienced the pain of witnessing that, now her daughter in-law was also leaving her, thinking of this made others felt uneasy. The servants by San furen’s side all had the urge to cry but now none dared to cry since San furen didn’t passed away yet after all. If they cried now, it meant they were anticipating her death.

Da furen’s complexion was normal yet Li Wei Yang was still able to decipher her true inner ­emotions.

Seeing this, Li Wei Yang felt as if a large rock was crushing on her.

Once Da furen saw Li Min De, she frowned and said: “Your mother’s illness is very serious, how could you not be by her side?”

Everyone gazed at Li Min De with an unpredictable expression.

He, on the other hand, didn’t look at others and walked towards the bedside.

Giving the person lying on the bed a glimpse, his heart was sinking very deep. Thinking of San furen’s full and rounded figure and how she always had a gentle expression shining with splendor; he felt that this wasn’t his mother in a trance. But this trance quickly vanished and it felt like a knife was piercing through his heart.
