Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 772

So close yet so far away.

She calmed herself down and said urgently, unable to wait any longer, "Take me to see my mother."

Cen Yuan nodded, took her hand, and walked towards the innermost courtyard.

When they passed the third courtyard, they ran into Tang Chujun who was coming out to look for them. Shi Anxia subconsciously wiped the tears from her face.

But it still didn't escape Tang Chujun's eyes, his heart skipped a beat, "Hey, Xia'er, why are you crying?"

My daughter has always been calm and steady. She didn't even frown when the mansion almost collapsed last time.

He is actually crying now, so it must be a big deal.

Shi Anxia looked at her mother with mixed feelings.

Deep down, she didn't want her mother to know that her mother was in the house.

The reason is simple. Although my mother seems to be more cheerful day by day, she is still a sensitive and delicate person.

If her mother knew that she had been a "ghost embryo" in the past, she would be so heartbroken and blame herself.

Her mother had asked her about it before, but she only answered evasively, saying that she was a little bully in the acrobatic troupe and no one dared to mess with her.

But is it really okay to keep it a secret?

There is no impenetrable wall in the world. If my mother accidentally finds out, the shock will probably be even greater.

Shi Anxia's mind raced, with countless ideas in her head, such as buying a new house for her mother, and... But in the end, she bit her lip and said, "Mother, please go back first. I'm going to meet someone first, and I'll come back to explain to you later, okay?"

After saying that, he hurriedly pulled Cen Yuan away.

Tang Chujun looked at the two people and their backs being chased by the dog, and wondered: Who else except Cen Yuan could make Xia'er's eyes turn into peaches through tears?

Oh, could it be that right after the wedding, this son-in-law is unreliable? He wants to take a concubine before he can even have a wedding night?

No way? No way! Definitely not!

Her son-in-law had clear eyes and it was obvious that he was not the kind of person who was obsessed with lust.

Tang Chujun thought so, but still returned to the house worriedly.

She had no appetite that night and only ate a few bites before putting down her chopsticks.

My heart was pounding so hard, and I couldn't calm it down no matter what I did.

She waited and waited, but her daughter and son-in-law still didn't show up until the moon was above the willow trees.

On the other side, in a wing room in the fourth courtyard.

Shi Anxia finally saw her mother again.

A woman with gray hair was curled up on the bed. She was thin and small, as thin as a piece of paper.

The quilt covered her, with no movement.

It was extremely quiet inside.

Shi Anxia opened her mouth, but tears started flowing before she could say anything.

She stood one step away from the bed, not daring to get closer.

Her mother was actually only in her thirties, and she was a very pretty girl back then. But now she has aged like this, like a woman in her sixties or seventies.

Shi Anxia bent his knees and knelt down, prostrating himself deeply, with his head and hands on the ground, performing a profound kowtow.

A Niang is her benefactor.

Without her mother, she would have turned into a handful of earth and a pile of bones long ago.

When Shi Anxia raised her head, her voice was hoarse, and she said, "Mom..."

The word that keeps circling in my chest in my dreams at midnight, the word that is engraved in my heart from past and present lives.

She was in the carriage, watching her mother running away in panic without looking back, and she was so heartbroken that she dared not utter a word!

As the Empress Dowager, she personally supervised the execution of the Ye family and Jin Yangzi. After a furious shout of "Kill", many heads fell to the ground. But no amount of blood could bring back that word!
