Adopting a Daughter to Become a Concubine in Red

"Mother?" Seeing the tears on the face of the woman who was hugging him, Changxin was a little confused.She just held the arrow when her shoulder touched her clothes, and then her finger pointed some blood.Why is mother so sad?

"Xin'er?" Hearing the familiar voice next to his ear, Su Hongcang managed to stabilize his mind.After realizing that there was only a small opening in Changxin's hand, he slowly closed his eyes tightly.

It's alright...it's alright...

"Mother..." Realizing that Su Hongcang had already closed her eyes tightly, a shock suddenly slipped through Chang Xin's heart—this woman in front of her is afraid that she will die?

Death isn't such a big deal, is it?

Chang Xin was taken aback by the thought that slipped through his mind.

"I don't want to do things like catching arrows in the future..."

"why?"

"Mother looks worried..." The moment Xin'er was catching an arrow in front of her eyes flashed in her heart, Su Hong held her breath, and lightly raised her eyes to look at the senior official Zhao who was fighting.That person seems to be able to do a job with ease?

"But..." Chang Xin pestered Su Hong inexplicably, "Mother's martial arts are not as good as Xin'er!"

"Really?" Su Hongtang was choked by Chang Xin's words for a long while without making a sound.Xin'er thought her martial arts were not as good as hers?Hehehe.Even if Xin'er has martial arts, it is only three or four years old at most, but she has practiced for nearly 20 years...

It's just, to cultivate the mind for the warrior.She is just not used to killing some secular people.However, Xin'er always seems to want to protect her?Although she has been protected by Master for many years, she knows that she does not want to be protected in vain.

However, where Xin'er's martial arts came from, this is actually a matter that worries her.When she picked up Xin'er, she didn't seem to have any martial arts in her body...

Thinking of this, Su Hongtang stretched out her hand to touch Inspector Xin's hand, and found that she seemed to have nearly sixty years of skill.Lost here, did Xin'er meet some kind of expert?

Staring into Chang Xin's eyes, Su Hongcang said in a low voice, "Xin'er, actually these people don't need us to take action."

After saying that, Su Hongchan took another look at Mr. Zhao, turned around and sat in the chariot with his heart in his arms.Although she didn't know how Mr. Zhao behaved normally, but depending on his relationship with her, it was definitely not her turn to save her.

Since I don't want to save him, I just sit in the car with Xin'er.

"But Daddy Zhao saved Xin'er, mother!" Seeing that Su Hongzhang took her into the car with him, Changxin began to struggle immediately.She was going to rescue the man outside the carriage, he was kind to her.

"Really?" Meeting Chang Xin's eyes, Su Hongcang understood Chang Xin's thoughts.

Knowing kindness and repaying it is a matter of course.

That's it.

Su Hongtang reached out and stroked Xin'er's head: "Be obedient and wait for me in this chariot, I'll go rescue Mr. Zhao."

Although Mr. Zhao doesn't seem to need her rescue.

After Hong practiced her moves, Su Hongchan felt the stale air in her body go away.Although Grandpa Wang helped him recover his martial arts, he really didn't have much use for his martial arts.Coming all the way from the Valley of Love, they are often constrained, not trapped by customs, but difficult by human feelings... But even so, they should not be killed indiscriminately.

Raising his hand, he opened the knife that was close to Mr. Zhao's body, Su Hongcang turned around and approached Mr. Zhao.

"I don't know where the officials found such a strong enemy?"

Although the martial arts of the surrounding minions are not top-notch, there are quite a few of them.

"Hehehe..." Officer Zhao realized that Su Hongcang had moved his hand, and then sneered a few times, "This is probably a big gift from Zhao's younger brother."

"It turns out that having a younger brother is like this..." Thinking of the prince's father wanting her to disguise herself as a man and become the little prince, Su Hong couldn't help but sneer a little bit on her lips.Fortunately, she didn't go to the capital with her, otherwise, wouldn't she have fallen into such a quagmire?

"Hmm..." Officer Zhao said slowly when he saw the person who came to chase him down, "If you have power, you will have more family affairs..."

"That's really annoying..." Leaping over the crowd, Su Hongzhang took a man and threw it in front of the official Zhao, "This Xu is the spy from over there."

"Why do you see it?" Zhao Daguan glanced at Zhao Wen and Zhao Wu who had already started to clean up the mess, and was somewhat curious about Su Hongzhang's decision.

"Because his knife has not been drawn yet..."

A slight smile floated around Su Hong's lips.

……

After returning to the village with Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao never came to look for him again.It's a pity that those concubines who hang around outside his courtyard every day are really annoying.

"Mother, why do we always have to be in this courtyard..." Chang Xin and Su Hong sat in the courtyard, looking at a table of female reds, frowning.

"Because, mother has become the concubine of the official Zhao...hehehe..." Su Hongcang lowered her head and pricked a few needles into the cloth in her hand, then looked up at the sky.A little uneasiness flashed through my heart.She doesn't seem to care about Master as much as she used to.The most important person in her heart seems to have gradually become the little girl in front of her.

"Hmph...Damn Zhao Daddy! If I had known about Xin'er, I wouldn't have asked Mother to save him..."

"Why?" Blinking, facing the pouting Chang Xin, Su Hongcang couldn't believe that the girl in front of her was almost ten years old.Perhaps Zitan treated Xin'er badly in terms of food before Xin'er came to find her.

Su Hong was engrossed in thinking, but found that there were tears in Chang Xin's eyes.

"Mother, it was Xiner who hurt you..."

"This... what are you talking about..." Su Hongzhang was a little confused.

"If Xin'er hadn't sneaked out of the house, my mother wouldn't have been trapped in such a small courtyard..."

"Hehehe... such a small courtyard can't be trapped as a mother..." Can't be trapped, can't be trapped.It's just an ordinary farmer's family, how could he trap himself.I was just worried about Chen Sange... Holding Chang Xin who ran to him, Su Hongcang slowly picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea.

"But...but..." Mother is really stuck in Zhaozhuang.Thinking of touching the group of girls in his yard who wanted to call him mother, Chang Xin felt a little sour for no reason.If it wasn't for me, my mother might have eloped with the man named Chen San.Why can't she remember anything?Even the fact that he sneaked out to become a monk and was caught by Zhao's father was also said by those gossiping women.

"It's nothing serious... Does Xin'er want to leave?" Su Hongcang didn't know how selfish she was hiding in this courtyard.She also couldn't figure out whether she was tired of chasing the master for so many years, or if she was really doing it for Chen San.

"Um……"

"why?"

"Because Father Zhao is not good to mother..."

"Then what is good?"

"Perhaps it's the companionship that Aunt Chen and Xin'er said..."

"Really?" Su Hongcang sighed softly, put down the thread in her hand, and said to Changxin, "Xin'er must remember, if there are more women in this backyard, the loneliness will be greater."

"So Aunt Chen likes Xin'er? So does Mother?"

Because of loneliness?

"No..." Su Hongtang patted Chang Xin's head, "Mother doesn't know what loneliness is until she leaves alone."

"why?"

"Because there are always some people in this world, just looking at them makes people feel at ease."

Looking at Chang Xin, who had grown to the height of her own chest, Su Hong's hands trembled, maybe in a few years, Xin'er would be able to marry.

"Really? That's the kind of person my mother is dear to my heart..."

"Don't talk so much, let's eat a piece of pastry first..."

Su Hongtang looked at the woman standing next to him with pity, and fed her a piece of bean cake.

"Hmm... don't... Xin'er wants to eat candied lotus seeds!"

"Hmm..." Suppressing the confusion in her heart, Su Hong smiled and stuffed the pastry into Xin'er's mouth, and she wanted to find her master again.

……

Night always seems to be sooner than day.

After meeting his own eyes with the senior official Zhao standing in front of him, Su Hongcang knew that something had happened.

"Chen San is dead." The expressionless Mr. Zhao made Su Hongtang a little uncomfortable.

"Who killed him?" Su Hong sat firmly on the round stool with her usual expression.

"Zhao's younger brother."

"So now the officials want Hongzhang to take revenge?" Su Hongzhang didn't forget her identity as a concubine.

"Yes."

"What about after it's done?" Su Hongtang noticed a bit of struggle flashing in the eyes of Mr. Zhao.

"Sacrificing love is it." Zhao Daguan avoided Su Hong's eyes.

"What about Xin'er?" Su Hongchan didn't think that Chen San was worthy of her death.Even though Third Brother Chen treated her very well.When people are alive, they should be clear about some things.

"Mr. Zhao can guarantee that he will treat her as his own..." Mr. Zhao suddenly met Su Hongzhang's eyes, and he knew that the woman in front of him cared deeply about her daughter.If it wasn't for the food shortage last year, he wouldn't be in a hurry to fight with his younger brother.But last year, there was a food shortage.So that the relationship between him and his brother is even worse.

"Then marry that precious cousin of yours?" Su Hongtang raised her hand and looked at her bright red fingertips.That's what Xin'er painted for herself in her room just now.

"Madam should know that Xin'er likes Zhao's cousin."

"Yeah..." Xin'er has always been short of a playmate, she knows it.

"It's not impossible to fall in love for a long time..."

"So Mr. Zhao plans to raise an orphan girl?" Su Hong got up and walked a few steps, "If it's an orphan girl, the love that will be born is probably..."

"What does that lady mean?"

"The little lady just wants to ask for a dowry for her daughter." Without the Spring Breeze Pavilion, there would be no source of income, and she, Su Hongtang, was really penniless today.

"How much silver do you want?"

"The little lady wants to buy some shops in Beijing for Xin'er..." How can silver taels be used as a dowry?There is no name on it.

"It's easy to talk about." It's just a few shops.Their Zhaojiazhuang is not just a group of peasants.

"Is that enough?" As if afraid of Su Hong's remorse, Zhao Daguan's face was a little urgent.

"You have to make sure that every word you just said is true." Su Hongzhang glanced at Mr. Zhao indifferently, revealing the Hong Lian wrapped around his arm.

"This... naturally can..."

"Then go out."

She wants to stay away from this place with her heart.She remembered that Xin'er told her that she didn't like this place.

……

Perhaps the beauty of the world lies in impermanence.Su Hong rubbed the note in her hand, and realized that the Zhao brothers were really interesting.

The elder brother said that the younger brother killed someone, and the younger brother said it was the elder brother.It turns out that the relationship between brothers can be so close.In vain, she planned a lot and wanted Xin'er to wait for her outside Zhaozhuang with the secret letter and land deed left to her by Zhao Daguan as a dowry.She has walked around Zhaozhuang several times with her heart in mind - she wanted to leave quietly and not leave any clues to anyone.

But Mr. Zhao disappointed her.

He lied.

Su Hong smiled lowly and picked up the wine bowl on the table and poured it on the ground, paying homage to Chen Sange who died because of him for a while.It's true that good people don't live long in this world.

"Mother...don't you have to leave tonight?" Chang Xin was carrying a small package and stared blankly at the drinking mother standing in the yard.

Hearing Chang Xin's voice, Su Hong grabbed Chang Xin's hand: "Yes. I'm leaving tonight."

"Where are you going?" Changxin knelt down following Su Hongtang's strength, and kowtowed a few times, she knew that her mother was paying homage to Uncle Chen.

"Go find someone." Su Hong's eyes flickered.

"Who?" Long Xin asked.

"Master, mother." Su Hongtang listened to the noise in the courtyard, and knew that it was Mr. Zhao's brother who had come.Why at first it was Zhao Daguan who plotted against his younger brother, but in the end it turned out that his younger brother entered her house... This is something she can't figure out.

All she could figure out was that she should pay the price for killing Brother Chen.

"What is that?" Chang Xin noticed that Su Hongtang's eyes were a bit cold.

"Yu Niangqin's most important person." Su Hong got up and stretched her mind, and helped her brush the dust off her knees.

"What about Xin'er..." Although she didn't know what the mother meant by "Master", the word "the most important person" made Chang Xin's heart tighten.She remembered that the aunts once said that the most important person to Yu Niangqin should be her father, and her husband.

"Hehehe..." Realizing that Xin'er was going to have a showdown with the master, a slight smile appeared on the corners of Su Hongling's lips, "He is also the most important person for mother."

"Can there be two 'most'?" Long Xin was puzzled.

"Why not?" Su Hongcang looked at the door that was slowly pushed open, ready to welcome the man who sent her a note.This man can be regarded as shrewd, he actually knew how to secretly throw the note into her arms.

"My heart doesn't understand..." Since it is the 'most', there should be one of them.

"Then..." Su Hongtang was about to explain, but found a man dressed as a government official in front of him.

"Then stay here..."

The hostility in the eyes of the man in the official uniform made Su Hongcang realize that she might have fallen into the next trap again.

"Mother—" Changxin saw the people from the government appearing outside the courtyard, so he couldn't help calling Su Hong.

"I don't know why the official is here?" Su Hong twisted her body and hid her long heart behind her.
