A tear appeared in the corner of Shanshui's eye.
He stood up and sat next to Master Li. He pressed Master Li, who was crying but pretending to be calm, onto his shoulder and let her lean on him.
He said nothing; he didn't know what to say.
This time, he would go to Jiangnan to collect rent and come back, so he didn't need to check anything.
“Wuwuwu…”
The moment he leaned on Shanshui's shoulder, Master Li finally couldn't help it, couldn't pretend to be calm anymore, and burst into tears.
Shanshui patted her back gently.
"Shanshui, I'm sorry, child. It's my fault. I didn't protect you well and made you suffer!"
After a long time, Master Li's crying became quieter.
"I'm not suffering. I'm doing fine."
Mountains and rivers.
He couldn't call his mother "mother" because, from childhood to adulthood, this role had never existed in his life.
After marrying Cheng Yue, he started calling Jiang "mother".
But that mother is different from this mother.
"Son, show me your back!"
Master Li suddenly stood up and said.
Shanshui didn't move. Although this seemed to be his biological mother, he was still not used to others treating him like this.
Master Li flipped up the back of his collar and said, "You are the elder brother, and the prince is your younger brother. You have a birthmark on your back, but the prince doesn't."
Master Li sat down.
"oh."
Shanshui nodded.
He was feeling a little strange now. He had a new mother and a new brother. It was hard to describe the feeling.
It is said that the prince is ill, so should I give him the lotus seeds in my hand?
Let him recover.
He is still my brother from the same mother!
Shanshui felt that twins were really a wonderful thing. Sometimes he would feel uncomfortable for no apparent reason, especially in the past two years. It seemed that it was because the prince was ill.
And the dream he had recently.
He could actually dream about two people who had never met each other. Isn't this the telepathy of twins?
His mother has twin sisters, and her mother gave birth to twins. So, will his son A Yue also have twins in her belly?
Some old people say that this is very likely. If there are twins in the family, there might be such a tradition.
Shanshui's heart once again went to Cheng Yue.
"You know this, don't you have any ideas?"
Master Li asked when he saw the mountains and rivers were in a state of wonder.
"No. Do you want to live with me and Ayue? You saw the house I built myself. Is it big enough for you?"
Shanshui shook his head and asked back.
"Mother definitely wants to live with you. However, things in Taizhou cannot be separated from me, and there's also your brother's illness. I've been analyzing that evil woman's plan recently. She persuaded the emperor to send the prince to the hot spring villa to recuperate. I wonder if she wants to give up the prince and let you take over? She hasn't given birth to a son since then. She has always been very concerned about power, and she was taught by that evil woman in the Xiao family. I've already sent people to the hot spring villa, and I'll know if there's any movement. Now, what I'm afraid of is..."
Having said this, Master Li stopped and looked at the mountains and rivers.
"She was afraid that something might happen to the prince, so she sent someone to capture me and take his place?"
Shanshui said.
Master Li's eyes lit up. See, even though she was raised in the village, her child is smart.
"Yes. The Ming family father and daughter are her people. I'm afraid she and the evil woman from the Xiao family have been planning this all along. This shows that the prince is really critically ill."
Master Li said dejectedly.
