Chapter 110 Concubine Liang Feeds
With Concubine Liang feeding him one spoonful at a time, Old Eight finished the bowl of porridge. At first, Old Eight wanted to drink it by himself, but Concubine Liang wanted to do it for Old Eight. When Old Eight objected, Concubine Liang looked lonely with tears in her eyes. Such a pitiful look made Old Eight really unable to bear it, so he could only lean on the bed obediently, waiting for his mother Kai to feed him.
The honest look made Lao Jiu and Lao Shi couldn't help but laugh secretly. Seeing this, Lao Ba's mouth twitched slightly, thinking that these two people were itching for trouble and deserved to be punished!
Concubine Liang didn't notice what was going on. She only had her son in her eyes. She took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the lips of the Eighth Elder. Then she smiled tenderly and said, "Yinsi, are you full? If you're not full, bear with it. You haven't eaten anything in the past two days. I just ordered some water for you. So for your health, bear with it for a while. We'll eat later!"
Facing such a gentle mother, Lao Ba had no other thoughts. He could only smile happily and nodded and said, "Okay, mother, I will listen to you!"
The Eighth Brother coaxed Concubine Liang into a happy smile. In fact, it was very simple to coax Concubine Liang. As long as her son was fine, she would be satisfied. She didn’t care much about anything else!
Suddenly, Lao Shi suddenly asked the questions in his mind. He really had too many questions in his mind. According to Taiyi and the others, with his starling's physical condition, he should not have fainted. Why did his starling suddenly faint? And what kind of nightmare did his starling have?
Lao Shi: "Eighth brother, what happened to your body? Why did you suddenly faint? And why do you keep having nightmares these days? Please don't use the same excuses as before to offend us. Do you think we will believe you? Besides, Liang'er Niang is here too. Do you have the nerve to lie to her?"
The ninth son nodded repeatedly, and even Concubine Liang looked at the eighth son expectantly. She also wanted to know what happened. Although she knew that something happened to the eighth son, she wanted to hear it from her son! She wanted to know more details!
Lao Ba looked helplessly at the curious faces in front of him. To be honest, he only had a vague idea. Lao Ba recalled the desolation in his dream, frowned and said with a confused look: "What if I say I don't know what's going on?"
This made Lao Jiu and Lao Shi feel particularly surprised. It would be fine if they didn't know, but how come even the person involved didn't know?
Lao Jiu asked with a suspicious look on his face: "Eighth brother, we are brothers. Is there anything that cannot be said and needs to be hidden from us? Who would believe you if you said that? How could you not know what's going on? Also, didn't Miss Yunyan tell you about your physical condition?"
Lao Ba still looked confused. He shook his head and said, "I really didn't lie to you. I don't know what happened. I don't know why I had a nightmare. When I was in Xinghua Village, I never had a nightmare. It was only after I left Xinghua Village that I started having nightmares!"
Old Ten asked curiously, "What did you dream about, my dear? It actually scared you. I don't remember you being so timid! It's just a nightmare. As for my dear, have you been having nightmares for so long?"
Lao Ba's eyes were blurry, with a faint puzzled look in his eyes. He tried hard to recall what he dreamed about, but no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't remember what happened in his dream.
Lao Ba: "It's funny to say that. I don't even remember what I dreamed about. I only remember that the dream was very desolate and desperate. I was so desperate that I didn't even have the courage to live!"
Lao Ba's words shocked everyone. What kind of nightmare was this? It could make Lao Ba lose the courage to live. You know, Lao Ba has never been a weak person. On the contrary, his heart is harder than anyone else. Lao Jiu and Lao Shi thought that they might not want to live one day, but they, Ba Ge, would never have such a ridiculous idea!
Concubine Liang was indeed holding Old Eight's hand with full of worry. She knew her son well, and if he was not truly desperate, he would never show any sign of it!
Lao Ba looked at his mother's worried expression and immediately put aside the emotions brought about by the nightmare. He showed his usual gentle smile and began to comfort his mother!
Lao Ba: "Mother, don't worry, it was just a dream. Aren't dreams all fake?"
Liang Fei knew that Lao Ba was trying to comfort her. Although she felt uneasy, he still forced a smile and said in a strong voice, "Yes, it was just a nightmare. Dreams are the opposite of reality. Don't take them seriously, Yinsi. When you feel better in a few days, go and copy Buddhist scriptures with your mother. The Buddha will surely bless you!"
Lao Ba does not believe in Buddhism, but in order to make his mother feel at ease, he can pretend to believe in Buddhism!
Lao Ba: "Haha..., okay, I'll be free in a couple of days, and your son will accompany you to copy Buddhist scriptures! But now, mother, you go back and have a good rest. After you've rested, you can come and look after your son, okay?"
Concubine Liang didn't want to go back to rest. She couldn't let go of her worried heart. She didn't want to leave Lao Ba. But Cai Yin, who was standing by, noticed Lao Ba's look and quickly persuaded him, "Yes, Master Beile is right. The most important thing for you now is to go back and have a good rest. You didn't rest well during this period of time, and you were seriously ill. Now you've finally recovered. You can't get sick again. Otherwise, Beile will be so worried about you!"
Lao Ba: "Mother..., you should go back and rest first. I have someone to take care of you here. If you were sick, your son would be heartbroken. Don't worry, I will be fine!"
Even though Concubine Liang was unwilling to listen to the repeated persuasion of Old Eight and the palace maids around her, and because she was indeed very tired during this period of time, she nodded and agreed. Although she nodded in agreement, there was indeed a look of worry on her face, and she did not forget to instruct the palace maids and eunuchs around her to take good care of Old Eight!
Seeing that her master agreed, Cai Yin hurriedly helped Concubine Liang back to her room to rest. After taking care of her and waiting until Concubine Liang fell asleep, she found time to go to Lao Ba and explain the disputes in the palace and the servants who intended to rebel during the months when Lao Ba was missing.
That’s right, Caiyin is the eighth child, specially placed next to his mother to help her deal with things that he is not good at!
