Chapter 146

The old lady Shen looked tired, and everyone understood and found an excuse to leave.

When Madam Xu and Lu Qingqiao were talking and going out, Madam Shen suddenly stopped Lu Qingqiao.

Lu Qingqiao had no choice but to turn back.

Only Mrs. Shen and Lu Qingqiao were left in the room.

Madam Shen asked her to sit down and looked at Lu Qingqiao carefully, as if she was looking for someone's shadow through her.

Lu Qingqiao didn't bother, but waited for Mrs. Shen to speak.

"Sorry, child, looking at you like that, I just..." Old Shen Furen suddenly swallowed harder.

Lu Qingqiao didn't know why, so he quietly handed over the tissue.

The old lady's emotions that had been out of control for a while soon calmed down.

She stroked the lute lying quietly in the box, and said, "This lute was used by my husband's sister during her lifetime, but she lost it later. Thank you very much for sending her back."

After pondering for a moment, Mrs. Shen spoke again, "I look at you, and I always feel a little familiar, but when I look closely, it is unfamiliar. You look like... but you don't look like... I can't tell what this feeling is."

"People are old, and their mood is a little unstable, which makes you laugh."

The old lady wiped the corners of her eyes and smiled. The smile was full of stories and heavy.

"The old lady has been thinking too much. I don't know if you think I look alike or not. Is it the listening elder?" Lu Qingqiao repeatedly mulled over what the old lady said, and came up with some ideas.

Madam Shen looked at Lu Qingqiao, and suddenly had the desire to tell her story. She held Lu Qingqiao's hand and spoke slowly.

It turned out that Mrs. Shen and Mr. Shen used to have a young daughter in addition to the current son and daughter.

When the youngest daughter was three years old, she showed her love for the pipa, so she began to follow Shen Ting, and followed Shen Ting in and out of the performance venue.

However, after a Shen Ting performance ended, she came out of the dressing room and found that her youngest daughter disappeared with the lute.

After investigation, it was another performer who took the person away. His original intention was to blackmail the Shen family, but he was too panicked and lost the person on the way.

Later, in an abandoned ditch, the young daughter, who was eaten by wild dogs, was found to have only clothes left, and the pipa was nowhere to be found.

"Actually, it's just clothes. I don't believe she just left."

The old lady Shen's tone was very light, as if she was persuading herself.

Lu Qingqiao didn't know the story behind this pipa.

Looking at the old man in front of her, she regretted that she had brought such a birthday gift, which made the old man feel very sad.

Mrs. Shen seemed to see what she was thinking, patted the back of her hand softly, and said.

"Actually, it's all over, really, I'm very happy to see this pipa again. I heard that someone had seen it at the auction before, and I thought about sending someone to find the seller and buy it back, but I didn't expect to go around. But it still came back to me, which is good.”

Old Shen Furen looked at the pipa, her eyes soft like a mother.

"So, Madam, do you think I'm a little bit like your youngest daughter?" Lu Qingqiao asked.

Although she regretted a little, she still rationally sorted out the main points in Old Shen Furen's words.

Moreover, she has a very bold guess.

"Yeah, the word resemblance is quite suitable." Mrs. Shen was unable to accompany her daughter to grow up. She doesn't know what her little daughter will be like when she grows up. She still remembers the soft and waxy appearance of three or four years old.
