Adhere to the gentleman's principles

Chapter 211 'My mother is still alive'

Li Ziyan returned to the mansion, "Jun Ning, I'm back."

Mo Yu came out, "Where is Jun Ning?" Li Ziyan asked.

"The young lady's mother passed away ten days ago. The young lady only found out about it when he accidentally mentioned it when they returned from the flying boat. Now the young lady has returned to the Zhao Mansion." Mo Yu said.

I am overly sad about your departure.”

Zhao Junning's tears soaked the letter. Li Ziyan walked into the ancestral hall and knelt beside Zhao Junning. Zhao Junning saw Li Ziyan and said, "I don't have a mother anymore." Zhao Junning cried sadly.

Li Ziyan hugged Zhao Junning and let her cry.

At night, back at Li's house, Zhao Junning was lying on the bed with tears in her eyes, muttering, "Mom, I want to eat pear blossom cakes."

The next day, when Zhao Junning got up and prepared to eat, she saw a plate of pear blossom pastry on the table. Her eyes instantly turned red. She knew that this was made for her by Li Ziyan. Before that, Li Ziyan and Meng Xiangning had learned a lot of cooking skills.

Zhao Junning stuffed the porridge piece by piece into her mouth. Li Ziyan brought the porridge up and saw Zhao Junning stuffing her mouth full and looking at him, "It's obviously sweet, why is it so bitter for me?" As she spoke, tears fell again. Fuling also shed tears watching from the side, "Young Madam still can't believe the news of Madam's death."

After Zhao Junning finished her meal leisurely, she slowly stood up and walked towards the store. At this moment, Yuan Xinghui, Ye Jinan and Wang Ningyi had already learned that Zhao Junning knew the sad news of Meng Xiangning's death, and they all hurried over to accompany her.

Zhao Junning raised the corners of his mouth slightly, trying to force out a smile: "You don't have to worry too much, I'm fine."

However, Yuan Xinghui cast her eyes on Zhao Junning's busy figure - she had been buried in the accounting office for a whole day, and this state had lasted for a whole month! Finally, Yuan Xinghui could no longer suppress her anxiety and snatched the abacus from Zhao Junning's hand, with concern and reproach in her tone: "Junning, I know you are heartbroken now, but look, it's noon now, can you make yourself numb by constantly calculating accounts?"

Zhao Junning raised her eyes, stared at the three people in front of her, and said softly: "But my mother used to settle accounts all day long..."

"Jun Ning, the passing of your aunt has broken your heart, and we feel the same way. But if you keep torturing your body like this, one day you won't be able to bear it anymore. You haven't been home for more than a month. Do you think that by numbing yourself in this way, you can forget the fact that your aunt has passed away? I want to tell you, this is absolutely impossible! Your mother has gone away and will never come back." Yuan Xinghui said earnestly.

Zhao Junning shouted excitedly, "Impossible! My mother is still here. She was just teaching me how to settle accounts! My mother will not leave me. Don't talk nonsense!"

Ye Jin quickly comforted her and said softly: "Jun Ning, calm down..."

However, Zhao Junning couldn't calm down at all. She stood up suddenly, pointed in one direction, and said in a trembling voice: "Look, my mother is there! She is smiling at me..." Tears slid down her cheeks, as if the whole world had collapsed.

At this moment, Li Ziyan, who was outside the door, silently listened to everything that happened in the house, and his heart was broken. Since he finished handling the case in Xunyang a month ago, he has been waiting outside the accounting office, just to be with Zhao Junning.

Zhao Junning still believed that she saw her mother, and Yuan Xinghui looked in the direction she pointed, but found nothing. When she turned around, she was shocked to see that Zhao Junning had fainted on the ground.

Hearing the noise in the house, Li Ziyan rushed into the account office without hesitation, quickly picked up Zhao Junning, and hurried back to the mansion. Along the way, he was anxious, fearing that he would lose the person he loved most.

After arriving home, a doctor was immediately invited to diagnose the woman. After a thorough examination, the doctor told them: "Madam fainted because she was overworked and overwhelmed with sadness, and she was pregnant. As long as she has a good night's rest, she should be fine." After hearing the doctor's words, Li Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief, but was still worried.

He sat quietly beside the bed, holding Zhao Junning's hand tightly, his eyes full of care and love. At this moment, he only hoped that time would pass quickly, so that Zhao Junning could wake up soon and recover her health.
