"Qiuyun!" Li Zheng stepped forward, grasped Ye Shi's busy wrist, and said in a low voice:
"Stop cleaning."
"I told you, if you're not going, I'll go by myself."
Without saying a word, Madam Ye kept stuffing things into the bundle. Once it was packed, she loaded the bundle onto the carriage, repeating this process back and forth.
She spent the whole morning repeating this action.
As she pretended, tears welled up in her eyes. "Shu'er, what's wrong with you? Why haven't you written home all these years? Do you know how much your mother misses you?"
She wiped away her tears haphazardly, then continued packing her things, only to start crying again.
Now, the carriage is completely stuffed with her stuff.
She recalled all the moments she had shared with her daughter, sitting on the edge of the carriage, tears streaming down her face.
"Shu'er, I will see you soon. When we meet, if you have any grievances, please don't keep them to yourself like before."
If you want to go home, I'll ask He Lin to let you come home for a while. If he doesn't agree, I'll stay with you and keep you company.
Shuer, what's wrong with you? Are you still resentful that your mother didn't agree to your marriage to He Lin?
Shuer, your mother has given in. What about you? Do you regret it?
Shuer... my Shuer, you are not a heartless person, but in the past few years, you have forgotten your parents.
"Shu'er, have you been in trouble? I'm so worried about you."
Li Zheng silently shed tears, then hurriedly turned back, unwilling to let Ye Shi see his vulnerable side.
He spent the entire night thinking about how to tell Qiu Yun the truth.
However, the thought of Qiu Yun's devastated expression after learning the truth made him hesitate.
He was cowardly,
How heartbroken Qiuyun would be if she knew that Xiaoran was Shuer's child.
"Xiao Ran...where is Xiao Ran?"
Li Zheng turned his head and looked around. He had just seen Xiao Ran playing with Zhu Juan and Shan Dian under the willow tree by the stream.
"Why are you so nervous? He Lin is his biological father, would he hurt him?" Ye's voice was nasal.
"I'll go out and look for him." Li Zheng felt panicked when he couldn't find Gu Xiaoran.
"Brother Li, that kid is so clever, how could he possibly get lost?"
Ye was a little jealous; Li Zheng had never cared for his own children this much.
“He’s only five years old,” Li Zheng said, then rushed out the door.
In the mountains, Zhu Juan held Gu Xiaoran's small hand tightly, as if afraid that someone might harm him.
But lightning, once it enters the mountains and forests, has long since vanished without a trace.
However, it kept circling around Gu Xiaoran.
Behind him, He Lin followed silently.
"Jin'er, how much further?"
The closer it got, the heavier He Lin's heart became.
"We're almost there." Gu Xiaoran, however, didn't share He Lin's thoughts. He tilted his little face up and walked happily all the way.
The mountains and forests were his paradise.
At such a young age, he didn't know what trouble was. As long as he had his parents' love and no one called him a wild child anymore, that was enough.
He was unhappy yesterday, but he had long forgotten about it.
Furthermore, since this strange uncle is Aunt Shu'er's husband, and the housewife even let him stay overnight, he is naturally not a bad person.
Gu Xiaoran was still wary of He Lin, but her guard had lessened somewhat.
He Lin followed silently, and soon they arrived at a grove of trees.
Several tall pine trees suddenly appeared from the bushes.
Behind the pine trees, a tomb made of towering rocks appeared before him.
In an instant,
He Lin's breathing became labored, and his whole body became weak and powerless.
