Chapter 25: The Album in the Dream

Although she didn't understand why Shen Yunzheng reacted so strongly to having another stepmother.

Several people were on the same stage but in different frequencies, which made it strange that they were competing with each other.

This time it was Shen Yunzheng's turn to have his mind broken. He blinked and looked at Shen Xun.

"Are you really my mother?"

"yes."

After hearing this answer, Shen Yunzheng was silent for a full five minutes.

Shen Xun kept looking at him with gentle eyes.

Finally, Shen Yunzheng spoke, his tone calm, "If you say so, then so be it."

Qi Yunzhou frowned, "What do you mean by if we say it is, it is? This is our mother."

Shen Yunzheng spread his hands, "I haven't seen it before."

"By the way, sister, how come you believed it too?"

Qi Yunxi was about to say that she hadn't completely believed it yet, but was slowly accepting it, but then he thought, wasn't her current behavior a sign of belief?

So, Qi Yunxi said: "This is the truth, why can't you believe it?"

Shen Xun glanced at Qi Yunxi: Didn’t you say to accept it slowly?

Qi Yunxi smiled at her: I have accepted it!

Shen Xun felt warm in his heart.

"Oh, I believe that too."

Although he said so, Shen Xun could clearly feel that Shen Yunzheng was just speaking casually.

Her expression darkened.

But then she thought again, she had never lived with two children before, and the matter was so bizarre, so it was normal for Shen Yunzheng not to believe it.

Never mind, as long as I find the person, the rest will come later.

At the same time, Xie Lan held Shen Xun's hand and whispered to her, "Take your time."

Shen Xun nodded, and they both wanted to go together.

Xie Lan held her slightly cold hand in his palm. Everyone said that he was the reincarnation of the late emperor, but when facing Qi Yunzhou and his two siblings, he felt no ripple in his heart.

Only when he is with Shen Xun, and only Shen Xun's joys and sorrows can affect his mood.

So, nothing matters, as long as Xun is happy.

"Cough cough cough."

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Prince Hu stepped out to smooth things over. "Let's get down to business. Now that we've found Yun Zheng, should we set off tomorrow?"

Chen Dexi continued, "Then we should pack our things early to avoid being in a rush. My Lord, would you like me to pack your things?"

Shen Yunzheng interrupted them, "Well, what are you talking about? What do you mean by going on the road? I'm not leaving."

Qi Yunzhou chuckled, "You're not leaving? Then just wait for Prince Su to send someone to suppress the bandits."

Shen Yunzheng sneered and said, "Then let them come. I, Long Aoshan, will kill as many as they come!"

He, Long Aoshan, is not afraid of death. Moreover, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, so he is not afraid of the soldiers who are suppressing bandits.

"Sister Yue, Youzhou is very cold and bitter, but Longao Mountain has everything. You should stay here."

Shen Yunzheng extended an invitation to Zhong Danyue.

Qi Yunxi snorted and muttered, "Forget your sister when you see beauty."

Shen Yunzheng heard this and replied, "Anyone can stay except my royal brother."

Qi Yunzhou's face turned black.

"You guys must have made a mistake," Shen Xun said helplessly, "We are all going to Youzhou, Yun Zheng, you have to go too."

Shen Yunzheng turned his head away, "I'm not going!"

Shen Xun looked at Zhong Danyue, and Zhong Danyue said, "Xun, I'll follow you."

She also wants to find Jiang Xinming. Shen Xun is a capable person and seems more reliable than the two brothers of Qi Yunzhou.

Zhong Danyue knew that she was a weak woman and could not survive without someone's protection, so why didn't she find the most powerful one?

Shen Yunzheng scratched his head in distress, "What's so good about Youzhou?"

never mind.

He compromised and said, "Then I'll go too."

By dealing with Shen Yunzheng, he could avoid a conflict with Su Song and other officials. In this way, he could finally take his family to Youzhou with peace of mind.

Chen Xun calculated the days. In half a year, the first war would break out, followed by civil wars among nations, and occasional natural disasters...

They have to arrive in Youzhou as soon as possible!

Shen Yunzheng suggested that he needed five days to arrange the affairs of the village.

Although Susong was reluctant, he did not want to conflict with Longao Village, so he had to agree.

Time was running out, and Shen Yunzheng raced against time to arrange things.

That night, after seeing off the crying second in command and others, Shen Yunzheng yawned and lay down on the bed, ready to sleep.

Thinking about what happened today, he couldn't fall asleep, so he had to count sheep with his eyes closed.

But before I could count to the tenth one, I became distracted.

Is that woman really a mother?

Shen Yunzheng stared at the ceiling of the bed in a daze.

My brother doesn't lie, so there's no need for others to lie to him, but...

Shen Yunzheng tried hard to make himself fall asleep. When he fell asleep, he could see his mother in his dreams every time.

But this time, Shen Yunzheng was disappointed.

In the dream, unlike before, this time, he was able to move. He walked with his short legs, trying to find his mother in the empty room.

Unfortunately, it was not found.

Shen Yunzheng was discouraged, but he accidentally saw a photo album on the tall cabinet.

He thought that although he could meet his mother in his dreams, he had never seen what she looked like.

Perhaps, he could see his mother's face in the photo album and see if it was Shen Xun.

So Shen Yunzheng tried hard to climb up, and it took him a long time before he reached the top of the cabinet.

He walked up to the album and mustered up the courage to open the cover -

"Bang--"

Shen Yunzheng woke up in shock when he heard an explosion outside the house.

"What's going on!"

Someone pushed the door open and came in. "My lord, it's that old man you hate. He blew up the kitchen."

Shen Yunzheng: “…”

The next day, someone came to see Shen Xun and said that Shen Yunzheng wanted to see her.

"Yun Zheng, are you looking for me?"

Shen Yunzheng was standing in front of the window. Seeing Shen Xun coming, he walked towards Shen Xun with some restraint and excitement, but stopped when he got close to Shen Xun.

"What's wrong?"

Shen Xun felt that Shen Yunzheng was a little strange.

Shen Yunzheng avoided her gaze, pulled out a chair next to the table and said, "Sit down."

The two sat opposite each other, and Shen Yunzheng poured two cups of tea.

He clenched the cup tightly and took a big gulp of tea, but it scalded him and made him cry.

Shen Xun quickly handed him a handkerchief and said, "Be careful."

Shen Yunzheng took it, but it was useless. He pinched the handkerchief, looking nervous, and said with a slight stutter: "Mother."

Shen Xun paused, "What are you doing?"

Shen Yunzheng looked up at her, smiling shyly as he said, "I believe what my brother said. I just wanted to go against him last night, so..."

Shen Xun was suspicious, "Do you really believe it?"

Shen Yunzheng said as a matter of course: "Although I have some minor conflicts with my brother, he would not joke about such things."

If we were to say who knows Qi Yunzhou best, it would be Qi Yunxi and his sister. They both know that in Qi Yunzhou's heart, his parents are his reverse scale, and touching them means death.

So that's how it is.

Seeing that she believed him, Shen Yunzheng breathed a sigh of relief and said coquettishly, "Mom, can't we just leave? It's so nice here. Even if the imperial court sent people, they would never attack the mountain."

His eyes were filled with reluctance to leave Long Aoshan.

Shen Xun sighed and told him the reason why he had to go to Youzhou.

"Longao Mountain is also very good, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but it is difficult to grow large amounts of food on the mountain. If I'm not mistaken, the food that the village usually eats is bought from the foot of the mountain, right?"
