Chapter 117 Entrustment This caused Zhao Yueyue and Jiang Jingmu to lower their heads at the same time to see what was going on. It turned out that it was Jiang Jingci's hand that was tightly pulling the corner of his clothes, which made Jiang Jingmu's already red face even redder. "I'm sorry, Aunt Yue." While whispering, he reached out to pull Jiang Jingci's hand away. Perhaps the little girl really missed her mother in her heart, and felt that the corner of the clothes in her hand was about to disappear from her hands, Jiang Jingci's little face immediately wrinkled and began to cry softly. When Zhao Yueyue saw this, she immediately stopped Jiang Jingmu's hand and said, "Don't do it. Just leave it like this. Are you sleeping in the same room with your sister?" "Yes, after mom passed away, my sister would cry at night. I was afraid something might happen to her, so I stayed by her side all the time." "Then you should go to bed quickly. I'll stay here to watch over you." "But will that bother you, Aunt Yue?" "It's okay. I'm a cultivator. I don't really need to sleep. Going back to my room at night is also for cultivation, so it doesn't matter where I am."
But in fact, even though Zhao Yueyue is a cultivator, she doesn't like to meditate all night. She eats and sleeps like an ordinary person. After all, she has lived this way for more than 20 years, so it is ingrained in her bones. But it's just one night, so there shouldn't be any problem, right? Zhao Yueyue thought uncertainly. Seeing what Zhao Yueyue said, Jiang Jingmu really believed it and became more grateful to Zhao Yueyue. He actually knew that his sister's situation was due to their mother's death, but the dead cannot be resurrected. He could only try his best to make his sister adapt to being without a mother and let her understand that although their mother passed away, he is still here. But my sister is still young and can’t understand this at all. She only knows that mom is not around, so she woke up from her sleep crying these two nights. Maybe she actually knows that mom is gone? Thinking of this, Jiang Jingmu's eyes turned red again, but in order not to make Zhao Yueyue worry, he held back his tears, climbed onto the bed and lay next to his sister. But how could Zhao Yueyue not see it? She was a cultivator who had reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core. But she knew what the other party meant, so she sighed deeply for the two children again in her heart and pretended not to see it. After Jiang Jingmu lay down, she covered him with a quilt and said softly, "Sleep well. I'll take care of everything tonight." In Jiang Jingmu's eyes, everything that had happened from today until now was just like when his mother was still alive. The familiarity and warmth almost made him cry. But reason told him that his mother had passed away. Even though she was no longer with him, he could not just treat others as her. This would be disrespectful to his mother and also to Aunt Yue. So he took a deep breath secretly and Jiang Jingmu said "hmm" softly. Then he closed his eyes. But in the end, he fell in love with Zhao Yueyue again, patting him to sleep and singing a nursery rhyme he had never heard before. Just once, just once, okay? Just this once, let me feel this hard-earned warmth for the last time, okay? Mother! A tear rolled down Jiang Jingmu's eye, which made people feel even more distressed compared to Jiang Jingci's sweet sleep. Zhao Yueyue looked at him lovingly and tried even harder to coax him to sleep. I hope that in his dreams, he can see his beloved mother again! However, Zhao Yueyue really overestimated her biological clock, or maybe the lullaby Zhao Yueyue hummed was very authentic. In short, before she knew it, her double eyelids began to fight each other and finally she couldn't help but went to have a one-night stand. "Bam—" Zhao Yueyue was too tired. She was sleeping so soundly that she didn't wake up even when she bumped into the headboard. Instead, she fell asleep like that, which woke up Jiang Jingmu who was in a light sleep. He opened his sleepy eyes and looked towards the source of the sound, and then saw Zhao Yueyue sleeping soundly. He immediately looked at her with a smile on his face. "Didn't Aunt Yue say she would practice meditation all night? But she fell asleep in the end?" He raised his head and saw that she was indeed asleep. After another look at her tired face, Jiang Jingmu still couldn't bear to wake her up, but he still tiptoed to find her a quilt. This was an extra quilt prepared by the City Lord's Mansion for them, just right for Aunt Yue to cover herself with. She shouldn't catch a cold in this cold weather. So he carefully covered her with the quilt again, and when he found that there was no problem, he went back to sleep.
The scene was very warm for a while, but Zhao Yueyue felt a little embarrassed when she woke up the next day. Two pairs of small eyes stared straight at her. No matter how thick-skinned Zhao Yueyue was, she couldn't help blushing. "I didn't mean to do that. I just felt a little tired these past two days." "I know, Aunt Yue has been working hard recently." Zhao Yueyue was deeply moved by Jiang Jingmu's thoughtfulness and understanding, but also felt a little ashamed. So Zhao Yueyue made up an excuse and ran out of the house with the two children. When she came back, she happened to meet Ji Xuan. "Eh? Senior Brother Jixuan, you haven't left yet?" "Amitabha, that's right. I have nothing to do recently. I am also concerned about the affairs of the two brothers and sisters of the Jiang family, so I want to stay for two more days to see if there is anything I can do to help." As soon as Zhao Yueyue heard this, she was no longer embarrassed and became more energetic. "Isn't it a coincidence? It really is. It's like this, Senior Brother Jixuan. I came out to gain experience on a mission from the sect. The matter of Xuancheng is my first mission. I still have two more missions to complete before I can go back. But you've seen what happened to the Jiang family siblings. It's definitely not possible to take them with me. I'm not too sure about leaving the two kids here without them. Of course, it's not that I don't trust City Lord Ouyang, but he's too busy with so many things and I'm afraid he can't help. So, can you help me look after them? My sister is still in seclusion now, and it may take some time for her to come out." Looking at Zhao Yueyue who was sincerely caring about the two children, and noticing her slightly wrinkled robes and slightly messy hair, it was not difficult to guess that she did not return to her room last night and stayed in the room of the two siblings all night. Ji Xuan was very happy to associate with such a kind-hearted person. Besides, what she asked was just a small matter, so Ji Xuan readily agreed. "Amitabha, this is a good deed, I, the poor monk, no, it's disrespectful for me to refuse it." "Thank you, Senior Brother Jixuan." Having resolved her worries, Zhao Yueyue was happy. After quickly tidying herself up, she went to find the brother and sister and brought them a rag doll she had made. After explaining that she had things to do and repeatedly assuring herself that she would definitely come back, she also asked Senior Brother Jixuan to stay and look after them. Although Jiang Jingmu was very reluctant to leave, he was sensible enough not to make a fuss. But the little girl Jiang Jingci couldn't do that. She just looked at Zhao Yueyue with tears in her eyes, her face full of grievance. "Auntie Niang Yue doesn't want Xiaoci anymore? Xiaoci is very well behaved. Please don't leave Xiaoci, okay?" Zhao Yueyue couldn't bear it anymore, seeing the beautiful aggrieved look on her face and the cute baby tugging at the corner of her clothes reluctantly and carefully. (End of this chapter)
