After arriving here, she understood even more what "love" should be like.
Her maternal grandfather and parents couldn't bear to put themselves in any danger. Seeing her suffer, they wished they could take her place. They would protect her in the face of danger at the first moment, regardless of whether she needed it or not.
Instead of what people call "for your own good".
"Parents are never wrong" is probably the most disgusting saying for some children.
Without experiencing the suffering of others, one insists on advising them to do good.
Utterly disgusting, utterly hypocritical.
Despite having these upsetting thoughts in her mind, she didn't show it at all on the surface and still looked happy as she continued to drive the small fish upstream.
Xiao Yanyue didn't dare to move too much, so he quietly watched from the side. For some reason, even though the person was smiling, he felt that she seemed unhappy.
Moreover, this unhappiness came very suddenly.
Everything was fine before.
He didn't want to cause trouble, but he couldn't ignore the fact that she cared about him, so he picked up a small stone from the ground and threw it at her feet with a "thud".
Shen Xingmian's attention was drawn away, and she was immediately pulled out of her bad mood. She looked at Xiao Yanyue with a puzzled expression, wondering what was wrong with him today, since he had never done anything so mischievous before.
She looked at him with a questioning gaze, but all she saw was a slight twitch of his lips, a half-smile on his face.
Wow, did he suddenly go from a well-behaved baby to a naughty child?
Shen Xingmian was barefoot in the clear, cool stream. She couldn't stand the child acting like a little adult, so she bent down, scooped up a handful of water, and threw it at him.
Anyway, in early autumn, it's still quite hot during the day, so even if you get soaked, you'll dry off after a while in the sun.
Xiao Yanyue immediately covered her face with her sleeve, and staggered back a few steps with her cane, putting distance between herself and Shen Xingmian.
Seeing that she couldn't splash him anymore, Shen Xingmian was about to give up when Shen Xingyan, who was next to her, got interested and bent down to splash water at her brother.
The stream water was cool and refreshing; splashing it on them was not only not uncomfortable, but actually quite pleasant. So the three of them got more and more excited and splashed each other indiscriminately until they were all soaked to the bone, their makeup ruined.
It had been so long since I'd seen the children having so much fun. The adults not only didn't stop them, but they also cheered them on while they were busy with their own tasks.
When Shen Yunqi emerged from the woods with two rabbits and three pheasants, he found that the children at home were all soaking wet. He looked at his wife with a puzzled expression, but only saw a somewhat relieved smile.
In the past, Mu Zhizhi would never have allowed her daughter to behave so recklessly; it would have seemed extremely unruly.
After experiencing exile, all she hoped for was that her children could live happily and freely.
As for rules and regulations, they only make people unhappy, so who cares?
If she weren't so reserved in her daily life, and even if she had come to terms with it, she still felt a bit restrained, she herself would have wanted to go and play in the water for a while.
However, her husband might be frightened.
Shen Xingmian looked at her soaking wet self, then at the culprit hiding in the distance, completely unaffected, and bared her teeth in a fierce expression, trying to scare him.
Whether the other person knew she was just a paper tiger or was certain she wouldn't really get angry, they didn't even try to avoid her, just stood there smiling and watching her.
"Alright, Dao Dao, your sister is kind and won't hold it against you. I'm going to help my aunt cook, and you'd better come and help me out, hmph!" Shen Xingmian said, hands on her hips.
Her voice wasn't quiet, and her family heard it. They were all a little nervous upon hearing it, wondering if it was presumptuous of her to speak to the young prince like that.
Only Shen Zhiheng remained calm. He also agreed with Guaibao's statement that if they wanted the little prince to fully integrate into their family, they couldn't be too distant.
Otherwise, how could they truly become close?
However, being in an environment where one cannot fully relax is very detrimental to the young prince's physical and mental health.
He learned this word from his darling, and he used it on the spot. He's still got it!
Shen Zhiheng was very satisfied with himself.
Xiao Yanyue gripped his crutch tightly. In fact, he could sense that he shouldn't need to hold onto anything to walk, but the pain he felt when he was injured was too deep.
The pain imprinted on his wounds made it difficult for him to see himself as a normal person again.
Seeing that he was still hesitant when he walked, Shen Xingmian guessed what he was thinking, so she took the initiative to go over and support him on the side where he didn't have a cane.
"Dao Dao, you have to trust my medical skills. Look at Grandpa, he was poisoned with that vicious poison, but now he's just like nothing happened."
"But there's no rush. Just come out for walks whenever you have time, and you'll get used to it in no time. I'm truly a miracle worker when it comes to treating certain injuries!"
After saying that, she couldn't help but laugh so hard she bent over.
Xiao Yanyue, however, did not laugh, because he felt that the title of "divine doctor" alone was not enough to demonstrate her prowess.
No one in the world but her could reconnect severed Achilles tendons.
If this level of skill cannot be called a "miracle doctor," then who is worthy of the title—those who seek fame and fortune?
"Mianmian is really amazing."
Shen Xingmian stopped in her tracks in surprise, never expecting to hear such calm praise from Xiao Yanyue.
This is absolutely unprecedented!
"Great! You've got a sweet tongue, haven't you? I've spoiled you for nothing. From now on, follow me, and I guarantee you'll grow up safe and healthy, without a single illness or disaster. We're immune to bad luck! Hehe."
Although he didn't know what an insulator was, he felt comforted and reassured by what he heard, so he nodded emphatically.
Seeing how well-behaved the child was, Shen Xingmian was reluctant to make him do anything.
However, she has to gut each small fish before she can fry them, which is a very tedious task, and she really can't do it without help.
I should have stopped Grandpa from letting Liuyun Xuanyue leave with the housekeeper and the others first, sob sob.
She didn't have the concept of servants and didn't think that the work should be left to her two older sisters, but they were really quick and efficient!
Or should we give it to Father?
That's something I wouldn't even dare to dream of.
If I hand it over to my eldest uncle, he looks clumsy and definitely can't do such delicate work.
As for my cousin, he just ran off and disappeared. It seems I'll have to find my older cousin and mother to be the "strongmen."
Shen Xingmian ultimately didn't ask Xiao Yanyue for help. Looking at his beautiful and delicate hands, she was really afraid that the fish bones would prick him again.
In the end, you'll be the one who feels the pain.
