Chapter 1913 His Choice
Lu Zhaoling then took a closer look at Lu Anfan's face.
Lu Anfan was afraid that any movement would affect her, so he stood there motionless, his body stiff, and he almost didn't dare to blink.
Although it sounds a bit cruel, Lu Zhaoling still told him the truth.
“It’s gone.”
It's clear he has lost his mother.
She said it with absolute certainty.
Lu Anfan knew her capabilities, and she shouldn't be mistaken about this.
His tears welled up in his eyes, and just as they were about to spill over, Lu Anfan raised his hand and forcefully wiped them away with his sleeve.
"Thank you for telling me, otherwise I might not have known for a long time, or even at all."
Now at least he knows when his aunt passed away.
"Don't be too sad." Lu Zhaoling felt that she wasn't very good at comforting people, especially someone like Lu Anfan, who was her relative but she didn't feel very close to her.
Especially since the deceased was from the Lu family.
To be honest, she wouldn't be sad at all if any member of the Lu family died.
However, she was, after all, Lu Anfan's biological mother.
Although Lu Anfan had been deeply hurt by them in the past, essentially kicked out of the house and cut off from all ties, Lu Anfan was a kind-hearted child and it was impossible for her not to be heartbroken.
"Why don't you ask the Crown Prince for leave and go take a look?" Lu Zhaoling asked.
"Is it okay?" Lu Anfan looked at her pitifully, then looked at Zhou Shiyue.
“Leaving at this time is not appropriate,” Zhou Shiyue said more realistically. “Now is a critical period for the Crown Prince, and it is for you as well.”
At this time, the Crown Prince trusted and admired Lu Anfan, believing him to be a promising talent and intending to give him an important position.
If Lu Anfan leaves the capital now, the Crown Prince will definitely have to find someone else, which will be the time for others to take advantage of the situation.
Although this is a very realistic statement, Zhou Shiyue still had to put things in front of Lu Anfan, let him know, and let him make his own choice.
"Think about it yourself. Your aunt is definitely no longer alive, so even if you go, you won't be able to see her one last time."
After saying those two sentences, Zhou Shiyue didn't speak again.
Lu Zhaoling glanced at him, and Zhou Shiyue beckoned to her. She walked over and sat down next to him, where he gently put his arm around her waist.
"If we don't let him go now, won't he regret it later? Or will he think we're too cold-hearted and too realistic?"
Lu Zhaoling asked Zhou Shiyue in a low voice.
She herself is often a person who acts on her emotions.
Zhou Shiyue brought her to his side because he could tell she was a little uncomfortable in this situation.
After pulling her close, he lowered his voice and said, "Just make it clear to him and let him choose for himself. If he blames us for this later, then I'll kick him out of the mountains."
Lu Zhaoling didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"So what do you think he will choose?" she asked again.
“If his aunt were still alive and had a breath left, I would support him going to see her one last time, even if he didn’t go to talk to her, just to see her once would save him from regretting it later.”
"But since he's already dead, there's no point in rushing there if he goes even if he doesn't see him. A real man shouldn't be too indecisive when it's time to make a name for himself."
Zhou Shiyue said, "Even if it's a mother-son relationship, it depends on how the other person treats you. His aunt has already abandoned him once. Now that he's dead, what's the point of putting aside important matters?"
He paused for a moment, then said, "If you really want to see her, you might as well ask you to do something, summon his aunt's soul, open his third eye, and let him see his ghost aunt. Maybe if his ghost aunt scolds him a few times, he won't even be able to shed a tear."
Lu Zhaoling: “…”
Good guy.
She didn't know what to say for a moment, so she could only silently give Zhou Shiyue a thumbs up.
Zhou Shiyue raised his eyebrows at her, indicating that he accepted her praise.
Lu Anfan had been in a low mood.
After they finished eating, Lu Zhaoling and Zhou Shiyue returned from their walk in the courtyard and saw him sitting on a stone step in the courtyard.
Now he has grown tall and strong, sitting on the low stone steps, looking like a sad little bear curled up in a ball.
Although he looked a little pitiful, Lu Zhaoling wanted to laugh.
She pinched herself to suppress the inappropriate laugh.
Hearing their footsteps, Lu Anfan looked up at them, his expression now very determined.
"Big sister, brother-in-law, I've made up my mind. I won't leave the city. I'll go and take a look after things are settled."
Zhou Shiyue raised his eyebrows.
He actually knew that Lu Anfan would make this choice, but he was still somewhat surprised that he made the decision so quickly.
"Have you thought this through?" Lu Zhaoling asked.
"I've thought it through." Lu Anfan nodded vigorously, but then said to her, "But I want to ask you for a favor, big sister. I heard that you can summon spirits and see ghosts..."
"You want to see her?" Lu Zhaoling asked.
Lu Anfan gritted her teeth and said, "No, I just want to ask you to help me guide her to the Yellow Springs. Isn't it said that after some people die, their souls might be captured by some ghost cultivators or evil cultivators and used to do bad things? I don't want her to become like that after she dies."
He paused for a moment, then said, "I will look into how she died later."
If his elder sister weren't such a powerful figure in the mystical arts, how could he possibly see her again after she died? That's why he wanted to treat himself as an ordinary person and didn't want to take advantage of his elder sister's abilities.
Moreover, he was afraid that if he actually saw his aunt's ghost, she would know about his elder sister's abilities and beg him to let her do something.
If she actually asked, Lu Anfan feared he wouldn't be able to refuse, after all, he couldn't bear to see his own mother become a ghost and suffer any more. Therefore, it was better not to meet her.
Everyone has their own destiny.
"This is no problem."
Actually, summoning the spirit of the second concubine is still a bit of a problem, after all, the distance is far.
However, since Lu Anfan had already spoken to her in this way, she couldn't bear to refuse.
Lu Zhaoling thought back to when she was in the Lu family, and there was only this silly boy who treated her affectionately as an older sister.
That's it.
When Grandma Sheng returned from running errands in the village, we asked her to make the trip.
However, she then remembered that Zong Bie was with the Lu family, so perhaps he knew what was going on.
Let Granny Sheng go and ask Zong Bie.
Zong Bie had previously told her that the ghosts from the mountains and forests of Huihe had also entered the capital. Lu Zhaoling had also asked Brother Frog to keep an eye on them, and Brother Frog said that the ghosts had only circled around the Yu family once before leaving.
Lu Zhaoling felt a little relieved, though she always felt that the ghost in the Yu family was somewhat unusual.
