It's snowing!
Early in the morning, while Su Jin was still asleep, she heard Shen Yun's surprised voice.
She jumped up, opened the window, and saw that the glistening snowflakes were being blown in by the wind, carrying a cool and moist feeling.
The snow hadn't been falling for long; there was only a thin layer on the ground, trees, and flowers, creating a hazy, beautiful scene.
"Girl, quickly close the window, be careful not to catch a cold," Shen Yun said as she went upstairs.
Su Jin pretended not to hear until Shen Yun put down the breakfast in his hand, walked over, and forcibly closed the window.
Su Jin pouted and obediently went to wash up and eat breakfast.
Now that Shen Yun has Lu Ming as her backer, she complains from time to time that Su Jin is disobedient. As long as Lu Ming hears what she says, he will definitely come over and give Su Jin a good scolding.
Su Jin looked at her little fists, which were gradually getting chubby.
Why……
In the medicine shop, Lu Ming was flipping through medical books. He had found some possibilities regarding Su Jinxia's physical condition and was verifying them one by one.
Is Dr. Lu here?
Lu Ming put down his book and looked at the person who had come in. It was a guard from Shen Qianxue's courtyard.
"What's wrong?"
"My lord requests your presence," the guard said.
Lu Ming's eyes lit up. "Qianxue is back? When did she come back?"
The guard replied, "We sent someone to invite you as soon as we entered the courtyard."
Lu Ming immediately became nervous, "Is he injured?"
The guard shook his head. "I don't know."
Lu Ming immediately packed his things and rushed over.
Shen Qianxue hurriedly returned, but instead of going to Tingyu Tower, she came to invite Lu Ming. Lu Ming felt that Shen Qianxue must have been injured.
However, when Lu Ming looked at Shen Qianxue, who was tall and straight with deep eyes and seemed perfectly normal, he said angrily, "Why did you call me here for no reason?"
Shen Qianxue pursed her lips slightly and asked softly, "How is she?"
Lu Ming scoffed lightly, "Why don't you go see for yourself?"
Shen Qianxue's fingers curled slightly, her expression very unnatural. Wasn't she still sulking when she left?
Seeing his hesitant look, Lu Ming couldn't help but scold him: "When she was seriously injured and about to die, you didn't care at all, not even a word. What's the use of asking these questions now? Of course she won't die."
"Seriously injured and on the verge of death?" Shen Qianxue exclaimed in shock. "What do you mean?"
Lu Ming frowned and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you receive the letter I gave you? Or are you pretending to be stupid?"
"I..." Shen Qianxue suddenly realized something, but didn't have time to worry about it, and hurriedly asked, "How badly is she injured? How could she be dying so soon?"
Lu Ming said angrily, "I was slashed on the back. It was five inches long and deep enough to see the bone. If it weren't for my strong internal energy protecting me, my spine would have been severed."
"Moreover, I don't know what you guys did, but you forced her to drag her injured body back all by herself. Her wounds were so badly mangled that the flesh was rotting!"
"You're telling me now that you don't know? How can you be the Phoenix Lord? How can you protect her? Are you even capable? If you're not, hand her over to me, and I'll take care of her!"
Lu Ming was so angry that he spoke without thinking.
Shen Qianxue's eyes immediately turned cold.
Lu Ming glared at him for a long time before finally giving in. Still feeling resentful, he said angrily, "If Su Jinxia had even the slightest interest in me, I would fight you to the bitter end, even if it cost me my life! Unfortunately, she didn't. No matter how much pain or suffering I endured, she always smiled when she saw me and always said she was fine and everything was alright."
"But what's so good about her? If she were really so good, she wouldn't be hiding under the covers and crying secretly at night."
“I can’t help her. She’s unwilling to show me her softer side. Sometimes, I really think, if only I were you, maybe she would show me some of her true feelings.”
"I don't know what happened between you two, I don't know why Shen Xi is interrogating her, why he's spying on her. Didn't we agree to trust her?"
Shen Qianxue stood silently by the window, her fists clenched, without uttering a word.
Lu Ming had no choice but to sigh, "I've said everything I need to say. You can decide for yourself."
Lu Ming was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something. After hesitating for a long time, he decided to speak up.
“Su Jinxia was treated by someone while she was injured. The person who stitched her wound used a technique that was Master’s unique skill. Su Jinxia said that she was a very gentle person. I think she is very much like Master. Do you think Master is not dead?”
Shen Qianxue looked over in surprise.
It wasn't surprise, it wasn't ecstasy, it was utter astonishment!
Lu Ming suddenly understood, "You knew all along, didn't you? I should have thought of it sooner."
“When you were little, you always loved to run around outside. I know you didn’t believe she was dead, so you went looking for her. But later, you stopped looking, and I thought you had given up. But now it seems you found her a long time ago!”
Shen Qianxue slightly averted Lu Ming's direct gaze.
Lu Ming's face was full of sorrow, and his eyes were wet with tears. "Have you gone to see her? Why didn't you tell me? You know perfectly well that I... am thinking about her."
Shen Qianxue raised her face, her eyes filled with stubbornness and hatred!
"Have you forgotten? She's the one who abandoned us!"
"Why would I want to see her? Ask her why she abandoned me?"
"Ask her, how can there be such a heartless mother in this world!"
The deer's cry...
For Lu Ming, that was his master.
But to Shen Qianxue, that was her mother, a mother who cruelly abandoned her child.
Being abandoned, abandoned by her own mother, is a scar that Shen Qianxue can never erase from her heart.
The two looked at each other in silence.
After a long while, Lu Ming got up, walked to the door, and then stopped. "If you won't go look for it, I will!"
As he spoke, he pushed open the door and went out. The wind and snow blew in through the crack in the door, making the room cold.
