Chapter 621 Mental Problems
Du Mingxian felt that Ling's mother was acting strangely; Ling's mother used to be very magnanimous.
Even Ling Silang noticed that his mother was not in a good mood. The two looked at each other and neither of them said anything.
Ling's mother was very happy to hear Du Mingxian's answer, and her eyes shone even brighter. "You are a good child. You still have to take care of the child yourself. You can't trust anyone else to take care of him."
“Mother, it’s my own child, so of course I’ll take good care of him. Mingxian has suffered a lot this time, helping me with the child every day. Now that she’s back, Mother, you’ll have to take better care of the child for us.” Ling Silang kept observing his mother’s condition as he spoke.
Upon hearing this, Ling's mother's eyes lit up instantly, and she readily agreed, "Yes, yes, that goes without saying. I will definitely take good care of you. How could I not take good care of my own grandson?"
Du Mingxian sensed that Ling's mother was not in a good state, but she didn't dare to say anything. After the group sat down and chatted for a while, Ling's mother became somewhat listless.
"Mom, we're a little tired after we got back. Why don't I go and rest first?"
"Okay, okay, go and rest. Mom will take care of the baby for you. Don't worry, Mom will take good care of him and make sure he's healthy and chubby. I will never let you take him away, and I won't let any bad people have a chance. You must rest assured, you must rest assured."
Du Mingxian and Ling Silang could both tell that Ling's mother was not in a good state. They were both a little uneasy about handing the child over to her, mainly because they didn't know what had happened.
"Mother, it's time to feed the baby."
"Oh, okay, I forgot about that." Ling's mother quickly handed the child to Du Mingxian, "You hold him, you hold him."
Du Mingxian took the child from her. "Mom, I'll go back to the room to breastfeed the baby."
"Okay, okay, go ahead, go ahead," Ling's mother urged Du Mingxian.
Du Mingxian turned around and went back to the house they had stayed in before. Xiangyang and Dong Shi were both in the house.
"Madam, this room is regularly cleaned and very clean, so we have changed the bedding."
"it is good."
"Mrs. Dong, go ask my mother how to arrange which rooms you all stay in. Everything is up to my mother."
"Yes, ma'am."
Before Dong was about to leave, Du Mingxian stopped her and said, "In the days to come, try to get closer to my mother-in-law. I plan to have you stay with her from now on."
"It's ma'am."
After Madam Dong left, Xiangyang stood there and asked, "Would Madam like to wash up?"
"No need, I'm a little tired. You can go out and tidy up too. I don't need any help here for now."
"Yes."
After heading out into the sun, Du Mingxian went into her space to wash up and came out. Looking at the familiar environment in the room, she felt completely relaxed. Since leaving home, it seemed like she hadn't had a moment of relaxation at all; things hadn't been going well for her.
She was already drowsy while breastfeeding her child, and it seemed like she had just fallen asleep when Ling Silang walked in, instantly waking her up.
"You're back?"
Seeing that she had woken up, Ling Silang went over and gently patted her. "Did I scare you?"
"No, I was probably too tired and fell asleep right away. I feel much better now." Du Mingxian looked at Ling Silang and asked, "What happened to you?"
"Me? I'm fine."
“When I came in just now, you were chatting with Mother, but didn’t get any information out of her? I feel like Mother has been acting strangely since I came back.”
Ling's mother used to be a very straightforward person, and she would never act like this today. She came back today and gave people a strange feeling.
Ling Silang shook his head slightly, "I haven't found out the specifics yet, and I don't know the situation. I'll ask Father when he gets back."
"What time is it? Has Father not returned yet?"
"No, they said Dad went on a long trip to deliver goods today and hasn't come back yet."
"I don't know what happened at home."
Ling Silang remained silent. "I went to my eldest brother's, second brother's, and third brother's houses, but the doors were all locked. It seemed like no one was home."
Du Mingxian frowned. "Then let Mother and a servant stay. They're too careless."
"There might be other reasons."
Where are the children at home?
"The children... are in the county."
"The county?"
"Isn't this in the school?"
“Something happened at the school, and there are no students now, so the children have all gone to the county.”
Du Mingxian didn't know what to say for a moment. It seemed that a lot had happened since they left, and things at home were not as good as before. "Let's see if Dad will come back today. If he doesn't, we'll go to the county tomorrow."
“My mother lives so close to our house, she must know something about it, and maybe she can find out some things from her.”
"Okay." Ling Silang nodded in agreement.
Du Mingxian fell silent for a moment. "We've been away from home for more than three years, and we rarely communicate with our family. We really don't know what has happened at home."
"Is that so? So... let's ask first."
"Ah."
At dinner time, Ling's father did not return. Ling's mother sat at the table, happily serving food to Ling Silang and Du Mingxian, saying, "Eat up, eat up, these are all your favorite dishes."
Du Mingxian sensed that Ling's mother seemed to have some mental issues. The dishes were made by Dong Shi today, and Ling's mother probably couldn't tell who made them.
"Thank you, Mother. Please eat too." Du Mingxian picked up a piece of green vegetable and put it into Ling's mother's bowl. Ling's mother immediately overturned the bowl, looking very nervous and scared.
She then stood up and looked at Ling Silang and Du Mingxian, and hurriedly pushed them, knocking over their food as well, saying, "Don't eat it, don't eat it, it's poisonous, it's poisonous."
Du Mingxian stood up and took a step back to avoid spilling the food on herself. Then she saw Ling's mother flip the table over, saying nervously, "Poisoned, poisoned."
Ling Silang rushed forward to hug his mother, but she reacted even faster, scratching three bloody marks on his neck.
Du Mingxian and Ling Silang stepped forward at the same time. Perhaps because she was a woman and Ling Silang was a man, only Ling Silang was injured.
"Mom, it's alright, it's alright," Du Mingxian could only keep comforting her.
Ling Silang noticed that his mother couldn't calm down, so he took out a silver needle from his sleeve. With one needle, his mother collapsed instantly, and Ling Silang caught her.
They picked the person up and carried them back to their room.
When the servant came in, Du Mingxian realized that the old woman in front of her was not the loyal servant from her previous life that she had specially bought back. She was quite surprised.
They were all old women. She hadn't paid attention when she came back, and the old women kept their heads down. She still thought they were the people from before.
"You were... one of the servants before?"
The old woman looked up at Du Mingxian for a moment, then pointed to her mouth.
Du Mingxian saw that she had no tongue, she had no tongue at all.
"Can you write?"
The old woman shook her head.
"Then can you tell me where the servant went? Was that servant there when you came?"
The servant woman thought for a moment, then picked up a chopstick from the ground and held it to her neck, making Du Mingxian's heart clench. "She's dead?"
