"Mom!" Quan Ge'er ran over, took her hand, and said with a smile, "You're here! You've been coming here every day lately. Are you missing me a lot?"
Liu Yuner forced a smile that was uglier than crying, her voice dry and hoarse. She nodded and replied, "Yes, Mom misses you every day. Do you miss Mom?"
"I think about it every day!" Quan Ge'er said bluntly.
Liu Yun'er breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she was her biological child.
She turned around to look at Xie Wanyun, put on a pitiful look, and said, "Please, Madam, let me stay with Brother Quan for a while."
Xie Wanyun suddenly felt a chill.
Liu Yun'er has been keeping a low profile lately, acting weak and pitiful, just to let outsiders see that the lady is extremely fierce and jealous.
It not only publicizes the bad reputation of the eldest lady, but also highlights her compromising and virtuous character.
How could Xie Wanyun not understand her little thoughts, but he just disdained to pay attention to her.
He glanced at her with cold eyes, "Okay."
The child has his own judgment. She is just pointing out the direction for him. It is up to him to decide what to do.
There was no need for her to lecture him all the time, as everything should be done in moderation.
If the child is not strong-willed, she does not need to force it.
Liu Yun'er finally breathed a sigh of relief. In front of Xie Wanyun, she always felt oppressed and had difficulty breathing.
She had been using those little tricks and maneuvers since she was a child, and they always came in handy. But Xie Wanyun's cold eyes swept over her, as if seeing through everything, and she felt panic and shortness of breath at the sight of them.
Liu Yuner quickly grabbed a few snacks and dragged Quan Ge'er out of Nong Yu Hall, walking breathlessly but refusing to stop. Quan Ge'er stumbled a bit as she pulled him, and was even more confused. He hurriedly asked, "Mom, where are you taking me?"
Seeing an empty pavilion nearby, Liu Yun'er pulled him in to sit down and stuffed some snacks into his hands.
Seeing his son eating so sweetly, he felt relieved. But when he saw that Quan Ge'er was still holding the sword, he became annoyed again.
He frowned and asked, "Brother Quan, do you really enjoy wielding swords and knives?"
Quan Ge'er nodded heavily with a snack in his mouth.
Liu Yun'er felt depressed.
"Brother Quan, can we stop practicing martial arts from now on?"
When Quan Ge'er heard this, he was horrified and almost jumped up, shaking his head like a rattle. He said bluntly: "No, I want to practice martial arts. I like sword dancing and learning kung fu!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yun'er hated Xie Wanyun even more. It's all your fault! You taught my brother Quan martial arts! My son doesn't want to be a warrior. He wants to study and become a top scholar!
But seeing her son so obsessed, she could only patiently say, "Quan'er, listen to me. We won't practice martial arts. You should study and take the imperial examinations. That's the right way. What's so good about being a military commander? It's tiring and dangerous. What if, what if, there's no mercy on the battlefield? If something happens to you, how will I live the rest of my life?"
Quan Ge'er thought for a moment, patted his chest and said loudly: "Mother, no, I have mastered my martial arts and no one can hurt me. I will also defend my country and make military achievements, so that I can earn you a royal consort in the future!"
Liu Yun'er was anxious and said angrily, "Do you think military merit is so easy to earn? You have to pay with your life! Is the eldest lady's martial arts good? All her family members died in the war! I don't want you to go down this path. She wants to defend her country, let her go by herself. She taught you these things, but she has no good intentions! Anyway, mother won't allow you to go, do you understand?"
Quan Ge'er was stunned and looked at Liu Yun'er as if she were a stranger.
Liu Yuner felt uneasy when he looked at her. She shook his shoulders and said, "Quan'er, Mom is talking to you. Do you hear me?"
Quan Ge'er stood up and shouted, "Mom! What you said is wrong! My eldest lady taught me that family, country and the world are one. Only with a country can there be a family. If no one defends the country, how can there be a small family?"
Liu Yun'er was so angry that her head hurt.
What did Xie Wanyun instill in her son?
But looking at Quan Ge'er's determined face, she knew that he would not listen to anything she said.
Quan Ge'er was also angry. He really didn't expect that his mother was such a selfish person.
The mother and son stared at each other, and for the first time they did not say goodbye reluctantly, but parted on bad terms.
