Chapter 1745 So, Mother, Are You Lying to Grandma or to Me?

Xiao Li's mood was seriously affected, so he didn't say a word on the way back.

Liu Wei also returned empty-handed today. She had asked her grandfather and found out that it usually took her grandmother ten to twenty hours to refine a Gu. Liu Wei kept time and thought that she should be able to stop people by meeting You Sisi today.

But when she came, Shu Zhen told her that Miss You would be in seclusion for seven days. If she succeeded, she could come out after seven days. If she failed, the time would be extended to ten to twenty days.

Liu Wei almost thought she had heard wrongly.

She just calculated that refining a Gu would take a short time and produce results quickly, so she caught a scorpion and sent it over. If she had known that You Sisi would take so long, she might as well have stolen a raw Gu from her grandmother's box. Anyway, because her grandmother made snacks for Zhenzhu, she would refine a few more Gu from time to time. Now that Zhenzhu had been away for a few days, her grandmother's box was half full again. Liu Wei stole one or half a Gu, and her grandmother would definitely not notice it.

Because she couldn't see You Sisi, Liu Wei didn't plan to stay longer. Shu Zhen pulled Liu Wei to ask a lot of questions about Shangqing Palace. Liu Wei lied one after another and fooled Shu Zhen.

However, Shu Zhen was still very worried. She said: "The queen's condition has worsened again. She could still say a few words intermittently a few days ago, but she hasn't said a word in the past two days. I don't know if it will get worse in the future..."

Liu Wei expressed deep regret for this and encouraged Shu Zhen: "You must be strong."

After Liu Wei left, she went to meet Rong Su like last time. When she got in the car, she saw Xiao Li sitting in the corner without saying a word, with his head buried very low.

Liu Wei's first reaction was to glare at Rong Su.

Rong Su immediately explained: "It has nothing to do with me."

Liu Wei half believed and half doubted, so she sat next to Xiao Li, put her arm around her son's shoulders, and asked: "What's wrong? Didn't you see your brother Xiao Jin?"

"I saw him." Xiao Li said sullenly, and then turned sideways and buried his face in his mother's arms.

Liu Wei hugged her spoiled son, patted his back, and asked again: "You are still not happy after seeing him? What did Xiao Jin say?"

"Nothing."

Xiao Li was really depressed, but he refused to say anything. After returning to the courtyard, Liu Wei, who was worried about the mental health of teenagers, went to Rong Leng and asked him to talk to Xiao Li. Some things, boys might be more accustomed to saying to their fathers?

As a result, Rong Leng entered Xiao Li's room and came out less than an incense stick of time. He directly reached out and grabbed Liu Wei and dragged her into the room.

In the room, Xiao Li was lying on the table, staring at the old tree outside the window that had just sprouted new buds. She looked very bright and sad. After Rong Leng brought Liu Wei in, he left. When he left, he slammed the door loudly.

Liu Wei was confused. She looked at her son who was looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and then looked at her husband who was walking away with anger. She went over and asked Xiao Li with concern: "What happened to you?"

Xiao Li said casually: "I'm fine."

Liu Wei rubbed her son's forehead, sat down next to him, and asked again: "What happened to your father? He seemed to lose his temper?"

Xiao Li shook his head, rested his head on his arms, and looked out the window without blinking.

Liu Wei felt that her son had grown up and had his own worries, and she was a little uncomfortable for a while.

Perhaps seeing that she had no intention of leaving, Xiao Li looked at his mother after a long while, blinking and asking: "Mom, do people become strange when they grow up?"

"Why strange?"

"Lying, cheating, and hurting others."

Liu Wei couldn't help laughing and ruffled her son's hair: "You said it very profoundly, the little brat knows a lot, who lied to you?"

Xiao Li stared at her expressionlessly: "You."

Liu Wei was stunned: "Ah?"

Xiao Li asked: "Didn't you lie to me?"

Liu Wei was puzzled: "What did I lie to you about?"

Xiao Li sneered: "Grandma said , Uncle Rong is my biological father, and she also said that you admitted it to her, so mother, are you lying to grandma or to me? "

Liu Wei: "..."

"Actually, mother, I have grown up." Xiao Li lazily propped up half of his body with his arms and looked at his mother's evasive eyes: "I am not a child anymore, I can judge right from wrong, and I can think for myself. You told me before that my biological father abandoned you and us, and Uncle Fu also told me that my biological father was not a good person, but a very bad person. At that time, I believed whatever you told me, but Now, I am not easy to deceive. The deep-rooted impression is hard to eliminate. You have been instilling the same idea in me, so I subconsciously believe this idea. But if I jump out of this thinking and analyze it objectively, I will find that I have been ignoring a very important point. Mother, are you someone who can be easily abandoned and easily taken advantage of? Are you so useless and cowardly? "

Liu Wei: "…………"

"Just now, Uncle Rong came in and asked me if I was unhappy and I could tell him. I asked him if he was my real father. He didn't answer and called you in. I can see that Uncle Rong was also very unhappy. It was you who didn't tell me about this, not him. You led the answer in another direction from the beginning. Uncle Rong needed your cooperation whether he explained or refuted, but you never cooperated. Mother, I can understand Uncle Rong's non-disclosure, but I can't understand your concealment. You adults are really weird. "

Liu Wei: "………………"

Xiao Li was aggressive, word by word, almost forcing Liu Wei to the corner. Liu Wei couldn't answer at all. She was silent and dumb. For the first time, she was scolded by her son and couldn't raise her head.

Xiao Li didn't seem to expect her answer. He knew his mother's bad mood very well.

Xiao Li sighed and looked at the big tree outside the window again. His expression returned to the previous sadness, but he was not very excited. Instead, he was very calm: "You all think I am young, easy to deceive and easy to coax. You are like this, and Xiao Jin brother is also like this. Today I went to see Xiao Jin brother. He was very polite to me. At first I felt very awkward. I felt that there seemed to be an extra layer of separation between him and me. I was very restrained and didn't know what to say. Xiao Jin brother kept smiling at me. His smile seemed close, but in fact it was alienated. At that time, we were still very unnatural. Later, I asked him if he had been doing well these years. He suddenly became very excited and said some strange things to me. After that, he refused to say anything."

Liu Wei couldn't help asking: "He, what strange things did he say?"

"It doesn't matter what he said." Xiao Li stared at his mother.

As soon as he looked at his son, Liu Wei immediately lowered his eyes, looking very guilty.

Xiao Li added: "I was also very angry when I heard what he said just now. I felt that he misunderstood me and I felt uncomfortable. But when I entered his study and thought quietly for a while, I found that he did it on purpose."

"What do you mean?" Liu Wei asked.

"He didn't want to see me anymore, so he told me in a tougher manner that he hoped I wouldn't go to him again in the future."

Liu Wei frowned and thought, not quite understanding what Rong Jindong wanted to express, and she was not sure whether Xiao Li's statement was consistent with the actual situation.
