Chapter 497 Xiao Shan Hai Resolves His Inner Confession



Xiao Yunying glanced at the wall behind him, then looked at the large empty space behind her, and then realized what was going on.

It seems like I squeezed him myself...

She moved her body backward quickly, but the force was too strong, and she accidentally aggravated the injury on her buttock.

"hiss……"

Luo Sheng's expression changed, and he sat up: "What's wrong? Did you aggravate your injury? Take it off quickly so I can see."

Xiao Yunying's cheeks flushed, and she quickly wrapped herself tightly in the blanket: "What are you saying?"

“Yun Ying, we are now husband and wife, it is only right that I take care of you, you don’t need to be shy.”

Xiao Yunying half-huddled under the covers, only her eyes showing: "I'm fine. It was just a minor bruise. I just didn't notice and pulled on it."

Luo Sheng got off the ground directly: "If you don't want me to see, I'll have Miss Zheng or Granny Chang come."

Xiao Yunying was speechless. She would be embarrassed if anyone came to see her injured buttocks.

"Really, it's not necessary. Have Yunwan bring a basin of water over; I want to wash up."

"Okay, I'll go get you some water. Lie down for a while longer."

Xiao Yunying huddled under the covers, her mind racing with doubts.

Do I really sleep like this? I wasn't like this before.

At most, it would just turn over; how could it possibly roll from one side to the other?

At that moment, she had no idea that it was Luo Yong who, seeing her fast asleep in the middle of the night, gently pulled her closer.

Xiao Yunying was troubled for a while, but then she stopped thinking about it. In any case, this was her own room, and she could sleep however she wanted.

If Luo Sheng feels wronged, he can go sleep in another room.

After a quick wash and breakfast, Xiao Yunying felt that her mental and physical condition was better than yesterday.

"Mother, we're going to the academy."

The children came over to greet her as usual, and Xiao Yunying replied that she knew. Afterwards, she idly read the storybooks that Luo Yang had found for her in the room.

Feeling stifled staying indoors, she read for a while, then, noticing the bright sunshine outside, put on her shoes and strolled slowly in the yard.

Granny Chang, who was picking vegetables in the courtyard, saw this and said, "Oh dear, young mistress, you haven't fully recovered from your cold yet. Why are you out here without an overcoat?"

Xiao Yunying smiled and said, "The sun is shining brightly, it's not cold."

"That won't work either. We were just saying it was getting a bit windy. What if we get blown around again?"

Zheng Yunwan had already taken out her coat and draped it over Xiao Yunying: "Sister Yunying, put this on. The sky looks gloomy in the south, it looks like it's going to rain. The wind is damp, it's not good to catch a chill."

Xiao Yunying put on her coat and glanced at the sky to the south: "The sky is very overcast. It looks like it's going to rain heavily. Yunwan, could you pass on a message for me and ask Uncle Dai to lead the farmhands to check the drainage ditches in the vegetable garden?"

"Don't worry about these small things, Sister Yunying. When I went to check this morning, Uncle Dai had already started digging drainage ditches with his men."

Xiao Yunying praised her without reservation: "Not bad, you are all experienced and capable. With you by my side, I can save a lot of trouble."

Two dogs suddenly ran to the front door, wagging their tails and scratching at the door.

Zheng Yunwan said, "I'll go take a look."

Xiao Yunying followed a few steps behind her. The door opened, and Xiao Shanhai stood at the door carrying two cleaned pheasants.

He was probably pacing back and forth at the door when it opened, and he was startled, turning to look inside.

Zheng Yunwan asked, puzzled, "Godfather, why aren't you coming in?"

Xiao Shanhai peeked through the gap at Xiao Yunying behind her, his tone somewhat flustered and nervous: "I... um... I saw the door was closed, I don't know if it was locked or not..."

Xiao Yunying joked with Xiao Shanhai as usual: "If it's locked or not, you can find out by pushing it. If it's locked, just knock on the door. It's not like Dad has never been to my house before. Are you afraid he'll go to the wrong door?"

Then she pretended to be surprised as she looked at the pheasant in Xiao Shanhai's hand: "Oh, I just told my mother yesterday that I wanted to eat the pheasant that my father caught, and he caught it so quickly."

Xiao Shanhai held up the prepared pheasant as if he were taking credit: "I caught it this morning, and I quickly brought it back to kill it. Now I'm stewing it, just in time for lunch."

"Thank you, Father. Then I won't be polite. Yunwan, quickly take it into the kitchen, chop it into small pieces, and stew it."

Zheng Yunwan responded and took the pheasant into the kitchen.

Xiao Yunying stepped aside: "Father, come in and rest for a while."

Xiao Shanhai waved his hand: "No need, I set a few traps on the mountain yesterday, I'm going to check if there are any other prey."

She deliberately said, "No wonder Dad didn't come to see me when I woke up yesterday. He went hunting. Well, since Dad brought me a pheasant, I won't be angry with him."

Xiao Shan Hai stammered, "Yunyun..."

Xiao Yunying looked at him: "Father, what's wrong?"

Xiao Shan Hai looked up and met Xiao Yun Ying's gaze, finding that there was no abnormality or change in the emotion in her eyes.

He suddenly realized that the smiling little girl in front of him was his child before, and she would be his child in the future.

He should have figured it out long ago. From the moment the door opened, the child still called him "Dad" repeatedly, joking and acting cute as before.

Some things don't need to be thoroughly investigated or explained.

Sometimes, a person's words and actions are the most obvious answer.

The old woman wasn't lying to me; the child really didn't resent me.

Xiao Yunying noticed that Xiao Shanhai was staring at her without saying a word, but she could sense that his eyes were gradually regaining their former vitality.

She deliberately asked, "Father, what are you thinking about? Is there something dirty on my face?"

Xiao Shanhai, now full of energy, said, "I'm not resting anymore. Dad will go up the mountain to see if the traps we set have caught anything, so we can bring them back to nourish my daughter."

Xiao Yunying didn't stop him: "Then be careful, Father. I see the sky is overcast in the south. It'll probably rain this afternoon. Come back early, Father."

"Father knows what he's doing, you should go back now."

Xiao Yunying watched his departing figure stand straight, knowing that he had come to terms with the matter, and closed the door in a cheerful mood.

She hummed a song as she entered the reception room. Luo Xin, who was practicing calligraphy, looked up when she heard the noise: "Is Mother in a good mood?"

Xiao Yunying slowly sat down next to her: "Is it that obvious?"

"When Mother is in a good mood, she will hum some tunes that Xin'er has never heard before, but which are very beautiful."

Xiao Yunying patted her head: "Yes, you're in a good mood now that you've resolved a matter on your mind. Come, let me see what you've written."

The mother and daughter were discussing the characters Luo Xin had recently learned. No one in the family forced her to learn; it was the little girl's own ambition that led her to ask Luo Chen and the others to teach her.

Learn a few characters every day, and once you've memorized them, start practicing calligraphy. Don't rush, just be steady. After two months, you've already learned most of the Thousand Character Classic.
