The aroma of medicine comes from the east courtyard of Li Mansion, and the aroma of wine comes from the west courtyard of Li Mansion.

Li Qiaoxi was happily using a small stove to cook medicine for her mother, while her brother Li Chenan was sitting on her mother's bedside, talking to her.

The mother's illness may be due to missing her brother. Even before taking the medicine prescribed by Dr. Zhang, the mother's spirit seems to have improved a lot.

But she still had doubts in her heart, because in the past, her brother would rarely speak even in front of her mother.

But tonight he talked a lot.

Most of them were words of comfort, telling his mother not to worry about him, that he was doing well now...

Is he really doing well?

Today I went to his shop in Erjinggou Alley, and it was still as clean as ever.

I'm afraid there's no rice in the rice vat for the next meal.

He did not tell his mother about the misery of his life, but continued to comfort her.

In Li Qiaoxi's opinion, this means that her brother is sensible.

Whether it was his brother who beat the concubine and those evil slaves or whether he reprimanded his father, Li Qiaoxi remembered these changes in his heart. He could not find a reason yet, but it was no longer important.

The important thing is that my brother is no longer as cowardly as before, he has even taken responsibility.

He wanted to take his mother and himself to his shop, but her mother naturally refused. After all, in her eyes, this was her home.

"Your father...even if he has many shortcomings, he is still your father!"

Ding Xiao'e leaned against the bedside, grabbing Li Chenan's hand and holding it in his palm. The light of the lantern reflected on her face, because the wrinkles on her face formed dark and intersecting light and shadow.

She is only thirty-five years old.

But he already has the face of fifty-three years old.

This is not because of the aging caused by physical work, but her tired heart!

To be more precise, she was tired of her previous life.

This made Li Chenan feel a little aching in his heart, because in his previous life, he had no chance to honor his mother after he became successful.

That is a kind of great sorrow, which makes a child want to be raised but his parents are not waiting for him.

"Mom...I can really live a good life. With you and my sister by my side, I can feel more at ease. After all, I was kicked out of the house by him. It's not appropriate to come back to see you all the time."

Ding Xiao'e pondered for a moment, took a deep breath, and showed a forced smile on her face.

"Son, you have to remember that mother is your father's first wife, and she can only be by his side in this life... Although he hasn't lived in this east courtyard for a long time, mother is the eldest daughter-in-law of the third room of the Li family after all. Mother I didn’t blame him.”

"Your father is a bit impatient. Starting from your grandfather's generation, the third bedroom of the Li family has been suppressed by the other two families. Of course your father hopes that you can become a talented person and be able to support the third bedroom of the Li family."

"So... don't blame him. He's not bad-hearted. Besides, you are his flesh and blood after all. He just didn't understand that he was too quick and quick in the past."

"Sooner or later, he will recognize you as his son again. You are the eldest son of the third family of the Li family. No matter what happens to this family, you are half as good as you. Mom can't leave, and I have to help you guard... until you come back!"

The moonlight enters the window and the window screen shines slightly.

This is the most talked about Li Chenan came to this world.

He served his mother and took the medicine, had dinner with her, and then left twenty taels of silver before bidding farewell to his mother and sister and leaving the Li Mansion.

Standing in front of the gate of Li Mansion, he looked back and then walked away.

Li Chendong happened to come back.

The two brothers looked at each other and passed each other indifferently.

Even more speechless.
