After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Heng Lin was taken in by Shangguan Shu.

He was hired as Shangguan Qingyue's nanny in exchange for three meals a day.

Looking after Shangguan Qingyue, cooking for her and playing with her, Shangguan Shu had his hands free and had time to make money.

The trees on Yumang Mountain were struck down by lightning and fire, and Shangguan Shu lost another source of livelihood.

Shangguan Shu went to the town.

Shangguan Qingyue and Heng Lin were left in the yard.

Shangguan Qingyue sat on the steps holding Xiyangyang and watched Henglin feed the cows.

Heng Lin's fairy-like white robe was burned by the lightning, with some patches on the left and right exposed. The torn parts were trembling in the wind. Shangguan Qingyue held his chin and stared at the piece of cloth in a daze.

[Where is Third Brother’s divine root…]

As I was thinking, a day passed.

The sun went down and Shangguan Shu came back.

Come back fully loaded.

When Shangguan Shu went out of the door, he thought that although the trees were chopped down, the wild animals in the mountains would also die. So he went up the mountain, picked out some good wild animals that were burned to death, and carried them to the market to sell.

After earning some money, Shangguan Shu's first thought was to improve his daughter's food. He bought a fresh, hot roasted leg of lamb, some fresh milk and some candied fruit.

When Shangguan Qingyue saw his father coming back, he immediately stood up and rushed over, "Daddy, you're back, Yue'er missed you so much!"

The little guy rubbed his face on his father's legs. Shangguan Shu felt very soft in his heart and stroked the back of Shangguan Qingyue's head, "Daddy bought you your favorite roasted lamb leg..."

Henglin had already cooked the meal. Shangguan Shu handed the lamb leg to Henglin, who simply cut it and placed it on a plate. Shangguan Shu also warmed up some milk for the little guy, who ate it happily.

After finishing the meal, Shangguan Shu was wiping Shangguan Qingyue's mouth when a familiar and hoarse voice sounded outside the door, "Excuse me..."

The sound stopped suddenly.

When the three of them heard the voice and looked, Shangguan Shu and Shangguan Qingyue were stunned.

Zhao Yao?

[Aunt Huai'an...]

Zhao Yao was still wearing the princess' court dress that she had worn in Chongqing Palace that night, but this gorgeous and solemn court dress now looked even more tattered than Heng Lin's clothes. It was covered in mud and looked dirty and torn.

His hair was a mess, like a chicken coop, with a few straws stuck in it...

Zhao Yao was leaning on a thick branch as a crutch, his body was hunched, his face was listless, his eyes were dark, and his lips were chapped. He looked so miserable, no worse than a beggar!

At first glance, Shangguan Shu didn't even dare to recognize her.

It was not until he saw Zhao Yao’s eyes wide open as if she had seen a ghost that Shangguan Shu was sure that it was really a narrow road for enemies to meet.

He was worried that he couldn't find her!

Shangguan Shu slowly put down the handkerchief, then asked Henglin to take good care of Yue'er. He walked to a corner of the yard, picked up the axe placed there, and walked out the door with an expressionless face.

Zhao Yao's eyes almost popped out when she saw this. She trembled and said, "Help...Help..."

Seeing Shangguan Shu coming towards her like an evil spirit, Zhao Yao hurriedly threw away her crutches, turned around and ran for her life.

Shangguan Shu sneered and chased after him.

Shangguan Qingyue's mouth opened like an egg.

This day is so lively...

Shangguan Qingyue looked at Henglin, "Uncle, carry me!!!"

……

She ran away, he chased her, but she couldn't fly...

"Help! Someone, help! Help me!"

The hoarse cry for help was like a wolf's howl...

In the pitch-black valley, with no obstruction at all, the axe blade in the man's hand behind him shone coldly in the moonlight.

In my ears, I could hear the whistling wind and the pounding heart caused by running.

When people are in desperate situations, they can unleash amazing potential.

Just like at this moment, Zhao Yao thought that she was almost starving to death and exhausted, but the moment she saw Shangguan Shu, she felt as if chicken blood was poured into her body and she became completely alive.

Even my heartbeat was beating like a drum.

In the past, my heart would flutter when I saw Shangguan Shu.

At this time, seeing Shangguan Shu, it was the old deer running for his life...

Zhao Yao felt like crying but had no tears.

[Host, host, hurry up! The male master is catching up! ! ]

The system will also be scared to death.

What bad luck! What bad luck! Why did she meet Shangguan Shu? If Shangguan Shu caught her, he would either chop Zhao Yao into meat paste or write her name upside down!

The system was afraid and couldn't help but sigh.

I remember that a few months ago, it saw Zhao Yao snuggling in Shangguan Shu's arms. Shangguan Shu questioned her about her unsuccessful attempt to put a curse on Zhao Ying and Shangguan Shu's favoritism.

Unexpectedly, only a few months later, Shangguan Shu picked up an axe and chased Zhao Yao all over the mountains...

Oh my God, what happened? Why did the plot collapse so quickly?

[Wait a minute, wait a minute! There's a cliff ahead! ! ]

Zhao Yao braked suddenly and stopped at the edge of the cliff.

It was pitch black all around, and she could only vaguely make out human figures, while the abyss beneath her feet was even darker.

Zhao Yao turned around with a pale face, and Shangguan Shu walked towards her slowly with a cold look on his face.

Half of the face faces the moonlight, and the other half is hidden in the darkness, which is dark and eerie, and makes people shudder.

Zhao Yao stretched out her arms and yelled, "Don't come over here, or I'll jump down!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other party sneered.

Zhao Yao cried, "Runlang, why are you so cruel to kill me?"

"Don't call me Runlang, that's not something a person like you is qualified to call me!"

Zhao Yao was stunned for a moment, her expression becoming more desperate, "Do you really not care about our past relationship at all?"

"Feelings?" Shangguan Shu frowned, revealing an extremely disgusted expression, "When I think about the fact that I once had feelings for you, I just feel extremely disgusted!"

Zhao Yao's brain suddenly exploded.

Shangguan Shu approached step by step, his expression stern, "You have deceived me and harmed me for so many years, and you still want me to remember your feelings?"

"I pride myself on never mistreating you, but you never change your ways and continue to harm my wife and children, Zhao Yao," Shangguan Shu had already walked to within arm's length of Zhao Yao and raised his hand to grab her front, "I wish I could tear you into pieces!"

"No, I don't have any..."

Zhao Yao subconsciously denied it. Seeing Shangguan Shu approaching, Zhao Yao's eyes couldn't help but become confused again. She murmured, "Runlang, please don't kill me, okay? I promise you, I will change for the better and never embarrass Sister Ying again. I will stay by your side quietly. Yes, Sister Ying doesn't want you anymore, I will always be with you, Runlang, I don't believe you have no feelings for me at all..."

As she spoke, Zhao Yao rubbed her face against Shangguan Shu's hand in a flattering manner.

Shangguan Shu narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Yao for a long while, as if he was considering her words.

A glimmer of hope arose in Zhao Yao's heart.

At this moment, the man in front of him suddenly curled his lips and sneered.

"Zhao Yao, didn't I tell you..."

"What did you say?"

The man's cold brows and eyes were filled with venom. He knew better than anyone what to say to stimulate Zhao Yao the most.

"Three months into our wedding, I fell in love with Zhao Ying!"

"The woman I, Shangguan Shu, love most in this life is Zhao Ying!"

"I love Zhao Ying, so I also love her children. Even if they are naughty and disabled, I still regard them as the apple of my eye!"

"I had the chance to get the golden elixir to save Zhao Ziyin a long time ago, but I didn't take it. Do you know why?"

"I... also want him to die!"

Only if he died, Qi You would not repeat the tragedy of his previous life.

Zhao Yao looked at him in disbelief, "Did you know at that time that Ziyin was not your child..."
