Everyone who entered the dilapidated temple found a place to stay. The few people who entered the dilapidated temple first did not dare to approach them because of their large number of people and strength, and they rarely even spoke.
Nanny Liu took the woman's pulse and went with Butler Mu to find medicine in the truck outside. The child was watching over the woman, tears falling from his eyes, not because of sadness, but because of excitement.
The child thought to himself, mother was wrong. There is a saying that the more handsome a person is, the more vicious he is and he should not be trusted easily. The young man is handsome, but he is not vicious at all. He is a very good person.
Yan Cheng, who was given the good guy card, was talking quietly to Leng Yan.
"I remembered that I saw the child's mother this morning. They were talking outside the inn, and the child's mother even glanced at me.
Last night, the child said he wanted to work at the inn for two more days, and the next day, he and his mother ran off to this remote wilderness. What do you think they were thinking?
Leng Yan didn't have the ability to read minds, so of course he didn't know what the child and the mother were thinking. Yan Cheng also knew that he didn't talk much when there were many people around, so he didn't want him to say much, he just wanted to complain.
With the medicine prepared by Madam Liu, the woman's fever subsided quickly, her body temperature returned to normal in the middle of the night, and she woke up early before dawn the next day.
Sitting up and seeing her son lying beside her safely, the woman breathed a sigh of relief.
Before she fell into a coma, what she was most worried about was her six-year-old son. He was the only son she had in her life, and as long as her son was fine, she would be willing to die.
"You're awake."
The young man's voice suddenly rang out, and the woman's body trembled. She slowly turned her head to face the moonlight and saw a very perfect young man's face. Her pupils widened, and after another second, her eyelids folded and she fainted.
Yan Cheng, who had just come back from solving a physiological problem: "..."
Does he have an ugly, beast-like face that can scare people to death?
After standing there for a while, Leng Yan came over with a dark-faced Madam Liu. Yan Cheng made way for him and said innocently, "She fainted on her own. I didn't do anything."
Leng Yan woke up when Yan Cheng got up and left, and saw everything that had just happened: "I know."
Madam Liu withdrew her hand and gave her diagnosis: "This person fainted from shock and extreme fright."
Yan Cheng: “…”
Could it be that he really fainted from fright?
"I'm fine. I can wake up in the morning. It's still early. I'll go back to sleep for a while."
Before leaving, Nanny Liu glared at Leng Yan, who also had a blank expression on his face. It was really annoying to disturb someone's sweet dreams.
When daybreak came, the woman woke up again. The child shouted in surprise, "Mom, you finally woke up. That's great! Doctor Liu was right."
The woman held the child tightly, but looked around the dilapidated temple vigilantly. When she didn't see the man in the temple, she felt a little relieved.
But seeing that there were quite a few people in the dilapidated temple, most of them were tall and strong men, he became nervous again and asked the child in a low voice what happened when she was unconscious.
The mother, who depended on each other for survival, thought that the child was very happy. He answered whatever the mother asked in a clear and coherent voice.
The woman then realized that it was the young man who had ordered someone to save her. Her expression changed again and again, with a complexity that a child could not understand.
The child did not understand adult matters. He only knew that the person around the handsome young man could save his mother. He said happily, "Mom, Madam Liu said she can cure your illness."
The child didn't quite understand what illness his mother had, he only knew it was very serious and that if she wasn't treated, she would die soon.
The child doesn't want his mother to die.
"Mother, I have already made an agreement with the Master. As long as I sell myself to him and help him with his affairs, Madam Liu will heal you."
In fact, it was not like that. Yan Cheng meant that he could work for him and get money, but the child understood it as selling himself to him.
The woman panicked when she heard this: "No!"
"Okay!" the child said stubbornly, "Mom, I don't want you to die. Didn't you say you wanted to see me pass the imperial examination? I haven't even started school yet."
"No." The woman shook her head like a madman. "Everyone else can do it, but he can't."
"Why not, sir?"
“…”
How could she tell her children that the mere sight of that awfully familiar face would remind her of the mistakes she had made in the past?
How could she tell her children that she used to be an executioner with blood on her hands?
"Humph, I won't change my mind unless mother tells me."
"no……"
"Wuwuwu, I don't care, I don't care, I just want to follow the Master, I want Mom to live, if Mom doesn't agree, I will, I will never talk to you again!"
When the child rolls around like a mangy dog, the woman has a headache, but she can't do anything about it. She only has this one son and she can't bear to be mean to him.
The morning sun hung in the sky, and the dilapidated temple returned to its tranquility. A mother and son were added to the convoy. The mother seldom appeared in public, and Yan Cheng had never seen her even once until he arrived in the capital.
＊
The convoy passed through the city gate, all the way to the west city, and stopped in front of Yan Mansion.
Yan Cheng got off the carriage and did not forget to make arrangements for the people who came later: "Butler Mu, Xiaochun is young, so find a place for them and their son to live in the inner courtyard first. I will talk to my mother about their affairs later."
After Yan Cheng and the others entered the gate, Butler Mu had a conversation with Butler Lin, the chief butler of the outer courtyard. Soon, someone brought Ma Xiaochun, who looked curious, and Ma's mother, who looked worried, into the inner courtyard.
This was Yan Ling's first time in the capital. He originally wanted to find an inn to stay in, but Yan Zhuo and Yan Cheng both invited him to stay in their mansion first, saying that they were all family and there was no need to be polite.
Yan Ling looked at the upright and kind Yan Zhuo at that time, and alarm bells rang in his heart. Why was Yan Zhuo so kind to him? Was there some conspiracy?
Looking at the sincere and simple Yan Cheng again, he thought about it and accepted the invitation to stay at Yan's house for a while.
Yan Ling thought this way: his younger brother said that cousin Cheng was in a bad situation at home and his brothers were hostile to him. He had to go and see it with his own eyes to know how bad his life was.
If life is really tough, with him as an outsider around, Cousin Cheng's brothers will always treat him better out of respect.
At this time, Yan Zhuo took the lead, followed by Yan Cheng and Yan Ling. The three met Yan Xi and Yan Luo who had arrived at the second gate, and saw them rushing over excitedly.
"Brother, Cheng'er, you guys are back!"
"Big brother, second brother, I miss you so much!"
Noticing the presence of outsiders, Yan Xi suppressed her excitement and walked in front of Yan Zhuo in a very ladylike manner. On the contrary, Yan Luo didn't care about all this and threw herself directly into Yan Cheng's arms.
After some emotional talk, several people went to see Chu Yuan. Yan Guangyi was not at home, so after Yan Ling met Chu Yuan, he was led by housekeeper Lin to the guest house in the front yard.
In the small courtyard where only one family was left, Chu Yuan, full of maternal love, first took good care of Yan Cheng.
Seeing that he hadn't changed much since the last time we met, and seemed to be a little taller, I nodded with satisfaction and said that he had worked hard on the journey and wanted to go back and rest early.
When it was Yan Zhuo's turn, he was about to accept his mother's love when he heard his dear mother gently say, "Zhuo'er, you are finally back. I am going to look for you. What kind of girl do you like?"
Yan Zhuo's smile gradually disappeared as he didn't really want to get married.
He wants maternal love, but not the kind of maternal love that arranges blind dates for him.
