He had seen through Xiao Han's thoughts and knew that he had his own reasons.
"Okay!" he responded in a deep voice.
But when he turned to Su Bei, his brows were still furrowed.
——
Uh... what is this place? Why is it so dark? This feels very strange. Although this place is dark and humid, I feel inexplicably safe.
I vaguely seemed to hear someone shouting, "Madam! Try harder!"
"Ma'am! Come out soon!"
Then a powerful force hit me and I suddenly rushed out.
It was dawn, I saw the light and heard the noisy sounds.
"Madam, it's born, it's a baby girl!"
"Ma'am, would you like to take a look?"
"Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh no! Madam is bleeding heavily!"
Only then did I realize that I seemed to have traveled through time again and became a newborn baby.
Whose family is this again? Is it a young lady this time? Not a lowly maid? I was shocked when I heard the male voice.
"Madam! Madam! Bei Shijing! Wake up!"
Huh?! I actually traveled back to when Su Bei was born?!
It seemed like there were a lot of people running around and yelling, and suddenly an old woman yelled, "Monster! Monster!"
The room was quiet.
Someone held me in his arms. I could hear his heartbeat like a drum, smell the faint orchid scent on his body, and hear his trembling voice: "Madam...you...what's wrong with you?"
That weak voice should be Bei Shijing's, but for some reason, it sounded particularly old, "I... I lied to you... I'm not from the Central Plains... I'm from the Snow Brocade Tribe of the North..."
"Xuejin Clan?!" Su Duo was shocked and his heart beat even faster.
"Yes... You have traveled all over the world, so you probably have heard of it. I am the legitimate princess of the Xuejin tribe, a snow girl. After seeing you in the north that day, I could never forget you, so I secretly escaped and followed you all the way, and even lied to you that I was going to Beijing to visit my relatives..."
"But you should have heard that whoever gets the Snow Girl gets the world. That's not a lie, it's because the Snow Girl is born with extraordinary talents and knows how to curse..."
Su Duo shuddered, "I... I am not worthy of this..."
"I... am in this state now, what virtue and ability do I have!"
"Madam!" Su Duo held me and walked a few steps. "No matter what you become, in my heart, you are my madam!"
Ah...it turns out that daddy is such an affectionate person!
But I didn’t see what my mother looked like that day. When I could see her, it was already my full moon.
She was the same as the last time I saw her, except that there was an unmelted tenderness between her eyebrows and she didn't seem so cold at all.
Moreover, this family not only has a father and a mother, but also a little brother.
He has a pair of almond eyes like mine, a round face, and is very cute. I heard that he is two years old, but he still babbles and can't speak clearly. He just often stays in the room and pokes my face with his chubby little hands.
This home feels so cozy.
Every day after my father finished his court duties, he would be with my mother, sometimes reading, sometimes playing the piano, and sometimes they would just sit there in silence, watching my brother and me.
"Madam, this is a popular hairpin recently. Do you like it?"
"Buy again, I don't go out..."
"It is precisely because you don't go out that I bought it for you. Look, you are still very beautiful..."
Dad put the hairpin on Mom's head, and butterflies fluttered among her silver hair.
She must not have had silver hair before, and I don't know if it was because of the difficult labor when I was born that her hair turned white. If others saw her, they would definitely say she was a monster, so she never went out.
I often saw her embracing me, staring blankly at the sky. She often whispered to me that this place was like a cage, and she missed the north, the snow-capped mountains, and the free past.
"But your father is very good to me, so it's worth it for me to come here." She always ended with this sentence.
Time passed quickly, it was plain and warm.
When I was two years old, the palace held a spring banquet and invited ladies from aristocratic families. My father didn't plan to go, but my mother said that we shouldn't stay here with her and should go out and see the world.
So my father took my brother and me there.
Along the way, my father kept reminding my brother not to run around after entering the palace, to hold my hand at all times, and to follow him at all times.
But Su Xiujie was only a four-year-old child at that time.
But he was more handsome now. He was as delicate as a piece of jade, just like a doll in a New Year picture. When the ladies saw him, they all wanted to come over and pinch his face.
Although he is so small, he is very arrogant. As soon as someone extends his hand, he turns his head away arrogantly with disgust in his eyes.
But this arrogant little brother actually listened to his father and kept holding my hand without letting go.
But……
"Brother, don't you want to go to the toilet?" I looked at him awkwardly.
Su Xiujie still raised his chin, "Dad told me not to let you go!"
After saying that, he glared at me fiercely and said, "Close your eyes and don't peek!"
If I were really a two-year-old, it would be fine, but I have an adult soul living in my body. Closing my eyes and listening to the sound of him draining water, this feeling is a bit too sour, right? It took him only a moment to pull up his pants before he let go of my hand.
But as soon as he mentioned it, he came over and pulled my hand...
"You...you just pee..." I was extremely disgusted.
Su Xiujie rolled his eyes at me and grabbed my hand without saying a word, "Daddy told me to hold your hand all the time!"
Ah! This little brat is really both hateful and cute...
I wanted to pinch his face.
Just do it.
I pretended to trip and fell to the ground.
I was just trying to pretend, but who knew that this body was after all a child's and not very flexible, and I hit my knee on a small stone.
Children's tear glands are so developed.
Of course, I cried...
Su Xiujie helped me up, used his little hands to pat the dirt off my shirt, and lifted the hem of my skirt to take a look.
"Brother, it hurts!" I couldn't help but cry to him.
He lowered his head and blew on my knees, then raised his head and said, "Blow on it and it won't hurt!"
Ha! A trick for children!
But why did I really feel that it didn't hurt that much after he blew on me? He wanted to carry me to the side, but the height difference was too small, and as a child, he didn't have enough strength, so he just dragged me over.
"Brother, it hurts!" I sat on the big rock and continued to act coquettishly.
"Be good, I'll blow you again. Don't tell Daddy later, or I'll scold you."
As he said that, he blew me again.
He is still a child.
Really, I think it’s so sweet. It’s so nice to have a brother.
"Brother, it still hurts." I said deliberately.
Suddenly, a sneer was heard, "Ha! Who are you from? Why don't you know to call the imperial physician?"
I looked in the direction of the sound and saw a child jumping down from a big tree not far behind me and walking towards me.
As I got closer, I saw his peach blossom eyes and burst out laughing.
