Chapter 1032 – Repent
The courtyard was covered in leaves, bleakness filled the eyes.
When a movement was heard, the closed door of the house moved, sounds of footsteps appeared.
Madam Ru no longer has the n.o.ble and lofty appearance of the past, her hair was untidily held by a hairpin, her clothes were not luxurious, just common hemp clothes with not a single accessory on her body.
As her cultivation had also been restricted to True Spirit Master; it was not enough to resist the effects of time, wrinkles could be seen on the corner of her eyes while she looked haggard.
Happiness could be seen when she saw Ji Mo Ya, but it froze as she tried to display the lofty state she had in the past. Despite trying for a long time, she only managed to barely make herself look not as a sorry figure as before.
“You look thin…” despite Madam Ru trying hard to be concerned, her face and tone were still stiff, without any traces of concern.
Ji Mo Ya casually glanced at Madam Ru and gave a soft smile, “It looks like mother is having a good time.”
Madam Ru’s face turned green from his words. She wanted to lash out but knew that Ji Mo Ya was her only hope of being saved from this predicament, so she chose to endure and wait till she was free.
Madam Ru swallowed the sarcastic remarks hanging at her tongue, she lowered her head and displayed a regretful appearance: “Mother knew that I was impulsive, but I never intended to harm the child. I only felt lonely with age and wanted the child to accompany me so that I will not continue missing your father daily. I did not expect an accident to happen; it might also be the child’s lack of fortune to be unable to be a member of our family. However, as the child’s grandmother, I still felt sad and ashamed and has been kneeling in front of the Sage Statue every night in repent and chanting sutras, wishing the child can re-born into a better life…”
When Madam Ru wanted to act and coax someone, she was truly good at it; at the very least she made herself believe that she did not intend for everything to happen, she did not want to kill the mother and take the child, everything was just an accident! Right, an accident!
Ji Mo Ya lightly swept away the leaf on the stone stool outside the courtyard and sat on it. He indifferently swept his gaze through the courtyard before speaking: “Mother is really doing well, with only a few months of effort and you learned how to repent. I believe the Clan Patriarch will be very happy to hear of Mother’s improvement. Being able to examine oneself introspectively despite Mother’s old age, I believe the Spirit Lock Formation is a good thing. Son will inform the Clan Patriarch to let Mother stay here longer.”
Ji Mo Ya’s tone was neither heavy nor soft, like he was describing something, yet it caused cold sweat to break out from Madam Ru’s back.
She cannot stay in this G.o.dforsaken place for another day, this unfilial son without a conscious was even thinking of making her stay here longer?
Madam Ru was starting to feel afraid, the regretful appearance she forcefully acted out was discarded as she lost control of her fear and revealed her real expression: “Ji Mo Ya, you unfilial son! Why did I give birth to such an unfilial son? Not only are you unfilial, you even want your mother to allow your mother to be confined, is that how you repay me? How are you going to face your father? Did you know how much I suffered to raise you alone? Now that your wings are grown, you want to rebel?”
Ji Mo Ya looked at Madam Ru’s wonderful recital and constant tirade; displaying a face that shows that I am very disappointed with you, I did not know that you are such an unfilial child look.
He suddenly wanted to laugh out loud.
This is his mother!
