"Don't tell me the reason, and don't allow me to apologize..." He sighed slowly, but a faint smile appeared on Lu Jinxi's face, very shallow, "Then what do you want your mother to do?"

"Anyway, don't apologize!"

In this matter, Xue Chi was terrifyingly stubborn, twisting a tendon like this, the clenched fist on his side showed no sign of loosening, and his eyes were already reddish.

"I did nothing wrong! Mother, you don't believe me at all! What else can you do but apologize?"

What can you do but apologize?

The short sentence, like a sharp hammer, slammed into Lu Jinxi's heart.

She was slightly stunned, staring at Xue Chi with squinting eyes, unable to speak.

She asked the reason earlier, but Xue Chi refused to say. So she mentioned that she wanted to apologize, in fact, she wanted him to make a choice.

After all, if he felt that he was not at fault, he shouldn't just watch his mother apologize to others for him.

Lu Jinxi used this method a lot.

But she didn't expect that Xue Chi's reaction would be so big.

At first, she didn't understand why, but when Xue Chi said this, she was angry and seemed rude, but she finally understood.

I also know that the original body, Lu Shi, has a gentle and benevolent temperament, and seldom acts evil with others.

Xue Chi is a well-known little bully, and he will cause a lot of trouble. If the Lu family encounters such a situation, how can he not apologize?

Not everything is Xue Chi's fault.

But listening to him say "what else can you do except apologize", I am afraid that Lu Shi always apologizes.

Adults apologize, always for the sake of saving face, with full courtesy, but what does it look like in the eyes of children?

Lu Jinxi was silent for a long time and looked at him.

Xue Chi stubbornly refused to look away, as if to vent his dissatisfaction and his anger together. But from beginning to end, the little bit of injury was hidden behind these clumsy emotions.

"You..."

Only then did Lu Jinxi laugh out loud, feeling a little warm in her heart.

She slowly stretched out her hand, clenched Xue Chi's clenched fist, and slowly pulled apart his clenched fingers, gentle and firm.

"In addition to apologizing, I can do a lot more. You want your mother to believe in you, but have you ever believed in your mother?"

"…"

Xue Chi was stunned for a moment, and she was speechless at Lu Jinxi's warm gaze.

Fingers are being opened.

But he didn't want to. It was as if he had hidden something deep in layers of boxes, but now, Lu Jinxi was slowly and patiently opening them.

He had a panic and wanted to tighten his fingers hard to break free from Lu Jinxi.

But when he lowered his eyes, he saw her mother's pale and slender fingers, as if they could be broken with a touch, but he didn't dare to struggle.

He was afraid that he would hurt her, although he was just a child.

So, a small palm slowly unfolded like this.

Lu Jinxi looked down, her palms and knuckles were already red, and there were still some bruises on her back, so she could not help but frown slightly: "Don't hold it any more."

As he said that, he took his other clenched fist and slowly broke it up.

Regardless of his expression, she continued: "If you want people to believe in you, you have to believe them first. I am your mother, and you don't even tell me the reason for such a big thing, this is trusting me. How do you ask me to convince others?"

Xue Chi didn't speak.

Lu Jinxi added: "As for apology, it is common for adults to apologize. Even if you are right, the elders will be polite to each other, so as not to hurt the peace, it is not necessarily your fault."

"Are all adults like this? Yes, you should apologize too?"

Seemingly in disbelief, Xue Chi asked in a dull manner.

"More to go."

Apologizing doesn't mean anything, even though it's uncomfortable a lot of the time.

Lu Jinxi was deeply touched by this. In her early years, she was still working hard at the bottom. In order to make a living, how many people took the blame and swallowed how much bitterness?

"In life, how can everything be satisfactory? If you want to not apologize, either you have enough reasons not to apologize, or you have to have enough ability."

It was impossible for Mrs. Lu not to love her child. Looking at Xue Chi's consideration for her mother, she knew that she should be a good mother.

Therefore, she didn't want Xue Chi to have any resentment against the Lu family, so she said it one by one at this moment.

"You are also at the age of Xiaoshi, and the little man should take responsibility."

The palm of his right hand was also opened, and Lu Jinxi used his palm to hold both of his small hands, while the other hand placed his shoulders and sat side by side with him.

"Mother is willing to believe you, but you should be brave enough to do anything that hurts."

"My mother has been ill for a while, and I want to understand a lot. Therefore, in the future, if it is not your fault, I will not apologize to others for you."

"Now, can you tell your mother why you fought with the second son of Luo?"

Because he had just returned from the Jokhang Temple, Lu Jinxi's body was still stained with the faint scent of sandalwood in the Buddhist hall, which gradually dissipated.

Xue Chi heard the news, and his heart slowly calmed down.

His eyelashes trembled slightly, and the two hands in Lu Jinxi's palms curled up unconsciously.

Lu Jinxi knew that he was thinking and struggling inside, so he didn't rush.

only…

After a long time, he still shook his head stubbornly and said in a low voice: "...I don't want to say it."

At least, he didn't want his mother to know.

"…"

This temper is really stubborn.

In fact, Lu Jinxi didn't expect it, but she was not embarrassed. She just stood up in the middle of the seat, stood in front of Xue Chi, and slowly squatted down, so that her eyes could be as famous as Xue Chi.

"Come on, look at me."

Xue Chi raised his eyes, his dark eyes seemed to have been dipped in a deep well, and they were slightly moist, but they looked bright.

At that moment, there was a pitiful smell.

Lu Jinxi wanted to laugh, but she didn't. She just looked at him like that, her eyes were peaceful and equal, without any force.

"Think about it before answering: really don't want to say it?"

This is a very solemn question.

Xue Chi could feel it, he even knew what his answer would affect.

There was a voice in his head that you should tell her.

However, he didn't answer, just pursed his lips, summoned up his courage, and replied firmly, "I really don't want to say it."

"All right."

Lu Jinxi knew that this was the final answer.

Xue Chi is not ignorant, on the contrary, he is very smart.

She actually admired this kid a little: "If you don't want to tell it, then I believe the reason is that you don't want to tell other people's secrets. When you want to tell people, tell me again."

"lady!"

Qingque, who was waiting in the house, heard this sentence and couldn't help but exclaimed, with a bit of inexact panic in her voice.

"Over there in the British government..."

"I have my own way of explaining it."

Lu Jinxi waved his hand indifferently, but his smile was very relaxed.

She touched Xue Chi's head: "Now you sit here obediently, continue to let Sister Qingque give you medicine, and don't move around. As for me, I'll go to the British government first..."

"you-"

"I know, don't apologize!"

Before Xue Chi could speak, Lu Jinxi repeated the sentence he had been letting go before, and couldn't help laughing.

Xue Chi was a little embarrassed, turned a small head over, and snorted.

Lu Jinxi didn't mind, she stopped and clapped her hands, and got up.

"Anyway, my mother respects you this time. Whatever you say is what you say. Just before I go, I have something to tell you."

Her ears perked up at once, and Xue Chi slowly turned her head again and looked at her.

Lu Jinxi's eyes were clear, and he stared at him with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Who do you care about, just say it well, sometimes others are too stupid, but you don't know who you care about."

"Who cares about you?!"

As soon as she said those words, Xue Chi immediately froze and almost bumped into the small square table next to her.

He glared at her angrily, but Lu Jinxi's eyes were only as clear as snow.

At that moment, Xue Chi only felt that he was like a roe deer on the snow, with nowhere to hide and being seen through, he quickly avoided his eyes in embarrassment, and said impatiently, "If you want to go, go quickly, don't stay there. Here, it's so annoying!"

Turning his head stiffly, he turned to look at the long-closed carved window.

He didn't look any different, he was still the old bully, but Lu Jinxi could easily see his red earlobes, which seemed to be dripping blood.

It's awkward and shy.

Lu Jinxi almost laughed out loud, but only knew that the child was thin-skinned, and he was a little embarrassed when he didn't attack himself and was seen through by others.

She also cooperated and pretended not to see anything, and said, "Okay, I'm leaving now."

Saying that, he turned around.

Qing Que hurriedly took the first two steps: "The servant has already prepared some precious medicinal materials and supplements, will you bring them with you later?"

"You're still right."

Lu Jinxi nodded, very satisfied with Qingque's stability and thoroughness.

I'm afraid that if Lu shi didn't have these two girls, the past days would be even more difficult.

"It's up to you to take care of my brother. Doctor Zhang will come to show him in person in a while, so be careful. On the British government's side, let these two little girls join me."

She casually pointed to the two maidservants in blue who were standing in front of the curtain.

The two maids were a little surprised, reacted, and then hurriedly bowed: "Yes, ma'am."

"The things are all over there, you quickly hold them, accompany the madam, and be careful on the road." Qingque pointed in one direction, and warned a few more words.

The two maids then took the supplements and medicinal herbs, followed behind Lu Jinxi, and walked out of the warm pavilion.

Friday's family had been waiting outside for a while, and when she saw her coming out, she hurriedly saluted.

Lu Jinxi waved his hand and said casually, "The third grandma took the person back, right? I see. Your daughter still needs someone to take care of you. You are allowed two days off, so go back and take care of it first."

Friday's family was stunned.

She was going back and forth with Ruizhu, how did she think that Lu Jinxi would give such a big favor?

For a while, his eyes were slightly wet, but Friday's family was quite moved: "Grandma has a good heart, and this old slave thanked Li'er."

"Go."

Lu Jinxi stood under the eaves and nodded.

This Cai from Friday's family sincerely thanked her for bending over and retire and leave.

The sky outside the porch is still gray, and there is the sound of water dripping under the eaves.

When Lu Jinxi heard it, she just raised her head to look like this. She was not affected by the gloomy weather at all. Instead, she felt relieved, as if the sun had cleared up.

Thinking of Xue Chi's reaction, the corner of her mouth couldn't help but twitch.

It's so cola.

Saying "you are not allowed to apologize" is that he doesn't want his mother to be wronged in vain.

But Xue Chi really couldn't speak, and couldn't express his concern, instead he had a vicious expression.

"It's a stupid boy..."

Lu Jinxi smiled slightly, looked away, and walked out of the yard.

"It's too domineering, is there still a king's law?"

"Old and rotten old man, you have the heart to coerce!"

"It's just you high-profile families who need to see a doctor, do you just need to see a doctor?!"

"Don't look at poor people..."

"In the past, I only heard that your second grandmother is kind-hearted, and the bodhisattva has a heart! Today, today's old age is an insight. It's really the world is getting worse, the world is getting worse..."

Before she could go out, a series of complaints came in.

Lu Jinxi raised her eyebrows slightly, but she was in a good mood, the warm smile on her face had not disappeared, and when she was out the door, she saw an egret walking over with a woman and an old man with a medicine box on the road to the south.

Of course, the egret saw her as well, and hurriedly waved his hand to tell the old woman and the old man to stop, while he took two steps and stepped forward and called, "Husband—"

The remaining word was suddenly stuck.

The egret, who raised his head, stared at Lu Jinxi in a daze, and was blinded by the bright and warm smile on her face.

This…

is it madam?

Hibiscus's beautiful face, her lips are pink and white, she purses a shallow arc, and under her clear eyes, there is even more shimmering waves, slightly squinting because of her natural smile, she looks very lazy.

Originally, she was wearing a moon-white suit, but at the beginning of her recovery, her face was pale, and at first glance, she was colder than the surrounding Canxue.

But at this moment...

These slight smiles are like a round of sunshine, dispelling the melancholy that has been trapped on the face all the year round, making the residual snow melt, the ice is broken, the facial features are alive, and a pool of spring water flows.

Gentle and warm.

It is beautiful and dazzling, and it is dazzling.

The egret stared blankly for a long time before suddenly remembering...

Their wives were also one of the three beauties in Beijing, along with Wei Yi, the concubine who is now favored in the palace, and Sun Xuedai, the governor of Yingtian and the wife of the military minister who married far away in Jinling.

But why...

Only now does she feel that Madam is so beautiful?
