After crying enough, Shi Ge'er straightened his back and sat on her legs. His black eyes, washed by the water, were clean and clear. His gaze was motionless, and he looked up at his mother.
Not only the appearance is the same, the smell is also the same, sweet and fragrant.
Song Luan was originally worried about scaring Shi Ge'er, but the child's ability to withstand it was obviously much better than she thought. He just refused to climb down from her. He pursed his lips and didn't ask anything.
Song Luan changed her hand to hold his waist, lowered her face and said gently, "Look at you, your eyes are swollen from crying. If others see you, they will definitely laugh at you."
Shi Ge'er replied in a low voice: "I'm not afraid of being laughed at by them."
Song Luan wiped the tears from his eyes with her fingertips and coaxed him, "Our brother Shi, please stop crying, okay? Mother will be distressed."
This was the first time she saw her brother crying so hard, with tears flowing for a long time.
Shi Ge'er choked up and nodded, "I won't cry anymore, I really won't cry anymore."
But he couldn't help it. Just hearing his mother's voice made him want to cry. He thought he was already a motherless child.
If his father has other wives in the future, he will have to call them mother.
Shi Ge'er vented almost all the grievances he had been holding back for these days in front of her. Song Luan continued to coax him, hugging him and caressing him gently.
She raised her eyes and glared at Zhao Nanyu. She didn't know how he had taken care of the child in the past few months. Her heart was broken by seeing Shi Ge'er crying.
Zhao Nanyu did not say anything to stop him. Instead, he took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to Song Luan, "Wipe it for him."
Shi Ge'er obediently raised his tear-soaked cheeks. Song Luan used less force, wiped Shi Ge'er's cheeks clean, and gave him a gentle kiss on the forehead.
It took a long time, but I finally coaxed Shi Ge'er.
Song Luan had already ignored the fact that there was another person named Zhao Nanyu in the room. She was only concerned about Shi Ge'er. She asked, "Did you eat well during the days I was away?"
Shi Ge'er used to be a picky eater. In the early days when no one was looking after him, he really didn't eat well. At first he couldn't eat, and later he just didn't want to eat.
He hung his head, "Sometimes not."
"Don't do this again."
Zhao Nanyu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up at this moment. His deep voice came from behind, "If you don't eat in the future, you will be hungry." His eyes swept over Shi Ge'er indifferently, "It's because you spoil him. He won't dare to be picky about food if he goes hungry for two more meals."
Song Luan imitated his tone and replied, "You are just being rude to him. You are satisfied when he dares not resist you."
Zhao Nanyu smiled warmly, seemingly not caring about being scolded by her, "You think he is too fragile."
Shi Ge'er was raised by him and his temperament and personality are like his. He looks like an adorable and innocent child, but in fact he is not weak at all. At a young age, he has learned to take advantage of his grandmother.
Zhao Nanyu didn't know whether he should be relieved.
"Can you please go out? I want to talk to Shige'er alone." Song Luan lowered his voice and muttered.
Zhao Nanyu opened his lips and uttered four words clearly, "Destroy the bridge after crossing it."
Song Luan was frightened by his look and trembled all over. After thinking about it, she decided not to go any further and challenge his bottom line and dignity.
It's so ominous and scary.
Shi Ge'er said, "Mother, is there something you don't know yet?"
"What's up?"
"My grandmother is ill. I went to see her once and it seemed very serious."
At first, she wanted to die just to get relief, but she forgot that Aunt Lin probably couldn't bear it. The child she had loved since childhood was gone just like that.
She was stunned for a moment and murmured, "Yeah. I don't know yet."
After returning to this world inexplicably, Song Luan hid from place to place at first. Later, she was brought back by Zhao Nanyu and almost never went out again. All the news came to her ears through Zhao Nanyu's mouth. If he didn't want to, he wouldn't let her know.
Besides, Aunt Lin is not a child. How can she go to see her like this? Even if she stood in front of Aunt Lin, it would be hard to believe her.
After all, the wound on the heart cannot be faked.
Song Luan looked at Zhao Nanyu angrily and complained, "Why didn't you tell me that my mother was sick?!"
Zhao Nanyu looked innocent, "I don't know either." He pretended to be wronged, "Your mother blames me and resents me. Our two families can even be said to have become enemies. Even if I wanted to visit the Song family, I would be kicked out by your mother."
Song Luan was skeptical. She remembered that Aunt Lin's fate in the book was much more miserable than it is now. At least she was still alive, and as long as she was alive, there was hope.
She lowered her head and said silently: "Is there any way for me to see my mother?"
Aunt Lin would definitely be very happy to see that she was still alive.
Zhao Nanyu said: "Yes, just wait patiently."
Song Luan sincerely thanked him, and muttered, "Actually, it would be OK to invite my mother over."
Zhao Nanyu replied: "I'm afraid that my people will be chased away by your mother before they even reach the door. She will definitely not be willing to come."
Shi Ge'er in Song Luan's arms suddenly blushed. After listening carefully, he found that his stomach was rumbling.
Song Luan smiled secretly and quickly asked the maid to serve the meal.
Shi Ge'er also stayed in her room and ate with them.
It's rare for a family of three to get together.
Looking at the table full of light dishes, Song Luan suddenly lost her appetite. Before Zhao Nanyu separated from the Zhao family, she was forced to eat bland meals every day. Now that she had finally escaped from the old lady's clutches, why was she still eating so bland? !
She couldn't eat much herself, so she tried her best to put chopsticks into Shi Ge'er's bowl, for fear that he would go hungry.
"Eat more vegetables."
Shi Ge'er frowned, as if he was in deep thought.
Song Luan discovered that the child secretly pushed the vegetables out of the bowl. She coughed twice and said, "I saw it."
Shi Ge'er reluctantly put the vegetables back into the bowl and stuffed them into his mouth with a frown.
Song Luan put down her chopsticks after taking two bites. The taste was a bit greasy and her stomach felt uncomfortable.
The maid who served the lady personally was the first to notice something was wrong. The lady's menstruation was late this month and her appetite was not very good. She had a bold guess in her mind but did not dare to say it out loud.
I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but I always feel that the lady’s belly is starting to swell.
The maid didn't dare to hide it any longer and quickly told her master about it.
After hearing this, Zhao Nanyu remained extremely calm. He invited an imperial physician from the palace, who took the baby's pulse and confirmed that it was a pregnancy.
The only one who was confused throughout the whole process was Song Luan. She was pregnant again? Why so fast?
In fact, according to Zhao Nanyu's frequency, her pregnancy was indeed expected, but now she seemed to be in a dream, unable to believe it. She touched her belly and blurted out, "You won't give up on him this time, will you?"
Song Luan didn't mean to ask this, she was just very scared. It would be too painful to take the medicine and the bleeding would not stop.
Zhao Nanyu clenched his hands and said hoarsely, "No."
Song Luan nodded, but didn't react much, "Okay."
She hoped it would be a daughter, so that she could have both a son and a daughter to make a perfect couple.
After Song Luan became pregnant, there were more people serving her, including maids from the palace and experienced wet nurses. Song Luan didn't feel annoyed being surrounded by these people all day long. Her belly was getting bigger and bigger, making her look even thinner and more delicate.
She often sleeps during the day and feels sleepy after basking in the sun for a while.
Song Luan dreamed of the original owner again, and what Song Luan was thinking seemed to be different from what was written in the original book.
She really liked Zhao Nanyu. In the first year of their marriage, when she was still pregnant with Shi Ge'er, their relationship was not particularly bad. Zhao Nanyu would even massage her legs at night, although the two of them still hardly said a few words to each other.
But suddenly one day, the original owner was not paying attention and was kicked into the lake from behind. She couldn't swim and struggled in the lake and was almost not rescued.
Fortunately, someone passed by the lake at that time and quickly rescued her.
The original owner was unconscious and kept talking nonsense.
"I hate you."
"Why did you lie to me?"
"Did you marry me just to use me?"
At the end, she was still muttering about her mother and father, and occasionally she would say words like "Crown Prince" and "King of the Southwest".
It took her three full days to wake up.
There was a lifeless look in his eyes.
After choking on water that time, the original owner seemed like a different person. She was not kind to Zhao Nanyu, mocking him as a bastard and saying that he was not worthy of her.
The original owner seemed unable to bear it any longer and insisted on divorcing Zhao Nanyu.
But Zhao Nanyu was like an invulnerable monster, and no matter what she said or did, he remained unmoved.
He even refused to agree to the divorce.
Song Luan watched the original owner's struggle like an outsider. She felt a little sad, but she couldn't tell where the sadness came from.
When I woke up, I realized I had just taken a nap.
Song Luan felt that there must be many things she didn't know yet. More and more fleeting memories and images appeared in her mind. She seemed to understand a little bit. This didn't seem to be in a book, but more like a story that happened in her previous life.
Zhao Nanyu saw her sleeping in the yard without any covering again, and her eyes turned cold. The maid next to Song Luan immediately knelt down and said, "It was my negligence, please spare my life, sir."
Zhao Nanyu said coldly: "Go down."
Song Luan yawned, still feeling very sleepy. Zhao Nanyu took off his cloak and wrapped her tightly, sighing, "You are still very willful."
Song Luan was held by him and shrank into his arms, "I'm not cold."
At the end, she patted her belly cleverly and said, "The baby doesn't say it's cold either."
Song Luan often made intimate gestures towards him. She would hug him actively, hook her arms around his neck and kiss him, and occasionally, if she was bold enough, she would stick out her tongue and lick his lips.
But when she did these things, her eyes were clear and without any emotion.
It seems as normal as eating and talking.
Every time Zhao Nanyu looked at her blank eyes, he felt a tiny pain in his heart.
The setting sun lengthened the shadows of the two people. The man's lingering eyes fell on the woman in his arms and asked, "What do you want to eat today?"
"Hot and sour soup." Song Luan answered without hesitation.
She only wants to eat sour food.
"I've been eating this for half a month straight. Aren't you tired of it?"
Song Luan answered him confidently, "She's not tired of what's in her stomach."
"Ah!" she cried out suddenly, "She kicked me!"
