Frost shines on Qingcheng

"When will the city lord come back?" Nan Yan asked before Shen Shuangzhao set off for Qingcheng in the morning.

Shen Shuangzhao stood in front of Qingshuang Palace, and said: "As usual, I'll be back in seven days." She was about to take a step, as if thinking of something, she laughed at herself, and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter if I come back or not. "In the past few years, the power to decide major events in the city has been controlled by Luo Qi, and she is just Luo Qi's puppet.So where is she, does it matter?

Speaking of which, what Sang Yu said to Tang Mengxuan back then was absolutely correct, one of them became a traitor of Shuilan City, and the other became a puppet of Shuilan City.

Nan Yan knew that Shen Shuangzhao had suffered more and more pain than anyone else in the past few years.They have been together for more than ten years, and she has personally watched the innocent little girl turn into the gloomy and worried person she is now.If this kind of life continues, she is really afraid that Shen Shuangzhao will not be able to bear the mental torture one day and will commit suicide.

"You'er, let's go." She stretched out her hand, signaling Luo You to follow her.

Luoyou is too small, and the small palm can only hold one index finger of Shen Shuangzhao: "Is Qingcheng fun? When will we come back?"

Shen Shuangzhao smiled at her: "I don't know if Qingcheng is fun, I just know that there are no people we hate there. As for coming back, You'er can come back whenever she wants."

Thinking of not having to meet the stern Luo Qi, the young Luo You's face was instantly filled with joy, and he pulled Shen Shuangzhao and said, "Sister Shuangzhao, let's go."

Shen Shuangzhao was infected by her joy, and couldn't help showing a smile.His mood seems to have improved a bit recently, but as long as he thinks of Lu Qingrong and his mother like this, his mood that had just become clear just now becomes gloomy again.

"Okay, let's go." Shen Shuang obeyed her, took her hand and left.

Shuilan City and Qingcheng are not far apart, and it only takes an hour to go back and forth, but Luo Qi stood on the tower, looking at the backs of the two people, one big and one small, but vaguely felt that she wanted to separate from them completely up.This feeling was very bad, she frowned, unable to even sigh, her chest was so congested that she was almost suffocated.

According to Luo Qi's own temperament, at this time, he should catch up and tie Shen Shuangzhao back.If you go to Qingcheng, it is right to stay by your side.But she was afraid that doing so would only push Shen Shuangzhao further away, so she could only restrain her annoyance forcefully.It's only seven days, and after seven days, when Shen Shuangzhao comes back, the real relationship between them will begin.Luo Qi closed his eyes and took a deep breath, just wait...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Which family's child is this?" Ling Yan bent down and looked at Luo You with a wide smile.

Luo You hurriedly hid behind Shen Shuangzhao shyly and timidly, holding Shen Shuangzhao's thigh timidly poking out half of her small head to look at Ling Yan.

Ling Yan's question made Shen Shuangzhao speechless for a moment. Seeing her silence, Ling Yan straightened up, and her smile also restrained: "What's wrong? This child..."

"Luo Qi's younger brother's daughter..." Shen Shuangzhao said these words with great reluctance, avoiding Ling Yan's sight on purpose.

Ling Yan's expression froze, and it took him a while to recover.Her gaze shifted to Luo You, it was hard to imagine that this was Lu Qingrong's child.She stared at Shen Shuangzhao again. Facing this child, Shen Shuangzhao must have suffered a lot.

"Luo Qi treats her badly. You'er is only three years old. I was afraid that Luo Qi would do something out of the ordinary, so I brought her to live with you for a while." Shen Shuangzhao changed the subject without leaving a trace, and tried to Break the embarrassment that the two of them knew well just now.

Ling Yan smiled and said, "I wish I could have such a cute little doll by my side." She waved to Luoyou, "Is that you? Come here, is it your first time in Qingcheng? I'll show you around Bar."

Luo You tightly clutched the corner of Shen Shuangzhao's clothes, and threw herself on her body motionless.

Shen Shuang touched her little head, and said to Ling Yan: "She is shy, but it's okay, just stay with her for a few days and get to know her better."

"In this way, she looks more like Luo Ji, right?" Ling Yan just realized that she had said something wrong.The matter of Lu Qingrong's marriage to Luo Ji was something that Shen Shuangzhao had tabooed all these years, so he hurriedly explained, "Shuangzhao, I..."

"It's okay." Shen Shuangzhao turned her back, "I'll go see my mother, you can play with You'er for a while. Is the piano repaired? You'er is very interested in the piano, you can teach her." After finishing speaking, she He walked away without looking back.

Ling Yan lowered her eyes, hiding the trace of guilt and loneliness in her eyes.

Shen Wanrong sat on the chair, her eyes were dull and lifeless.If they could not touch the temperature of her body, most people would think that she was a dead person with open eyes.Shen Shuangzhao rested her head on her lap. Although Shen Wanrong couldn't take care of herself as before and taught herself a lesson, she was still familiar with her smell and breath.Even if everyone has left her, as long as she smells that familiar scent, she will know that her mother is still there, and that she still has a little concern in this world.

"When will you get better?" Shen Shuangzhao stared blankly at the branches with new buds and leaves, asking herself helplessly and with a glimmer of hope, "If you get better, maybe I won't be in such pain and despair As long as the tree is alive, it will grow new branches and leaves every year, but what about her?Although I am alive, I feel more and more disappointed in this world, until I feel hopeless.

Shen Shuangzhao looked up at Shen Wanrong: "I was really wrong, I didn't understand you like that before." Four years ago, she blamed Shen Wanrong, refused to believe her blood relationship with her, and once treated her coldly because she opposed her and Lu Qingrong.Now, Shen Shuangzhao regrets beyond words: "Mother..." she called softly, but the person in front of her didn't respond.

Shen Shuangzhao smiled sadly: "It doesn't matter. If I read more medical books, consult more doctors, and study more prescriptions, I will definitely be able to cure you. When you recover, I will take you out of here..." Go to a There is no Lu Qingrong, no Luo Qi, and no pain.

But, is there really such a place?That's all, just give yourself some hope.

……

"Sister Shuangzhao, can't I go with you?" Luo You raised her head and asked her aggrievedly.

Shen Shuangzhao was dressed in white and said, "I'm going to see my old friends. You'er doesn't know them, so you'll only be afraid if you go. You stay here with Sister Ling Yan obediently, and she will take good care of you."

Luo You frowned, and wanted to say some reasons to persuade Shen Shuangzhao to take her with her, but after thinking for a long time, there was no result, so she could only pout and sulk at herself.

"Be good." Shen Shuangzhao patted her head and said to Ling Yan, "Your and my mother will trouble you, and I will be back in three days."

Ling Yan: "Alright, Shuang Zhao, be careful, don't make me and the city lord worry."

Shen Shuangzhao nodded, and set off with a few followers.She is going here to pay homage to the two senior sisters, Xueqing and Ruodee.During the war four years ago, Sang Yu and her two elder sisters were brutally murdered by Luo Qi.Although Tang Mengxuan escaped death by chance, she couldn't bear Sang Yu's departure and the fall of Shuilan City. Even though Shen Shuangzhao sent so many people to look after her, she still couldn't watch Tang Mengxuan who wanted to die.

"Put your things here, you can go back." When they arrived at the cemetery deep in the woods, Shen Shuangzhao asked his followers to go back.

This is her custom, every year at this time she will come to pay homage to several older sisters, and during these three days she does not eat, and lives alone in a bamboo house in the woods.Shen Shuangzhao personally pulled grass for the four tombs, wiped the tombstones, placed some sacrificial offerings, and burned paper money.She knelt in front of the tomb for a long time, and the past events always automatically emerged in her heart one by one. Those memories were still so vivid, as if it was just yesterday.But in fact, so many years have passed.Occasionally, it is still unbelievable to think of it. People who used to love sisters are now separated from themselves.

After paying homage to the elder sisters, Shen Shuang thought about it and walked a short distance to another tomb.This is the resting place of Zhao Yueyao.Back then, Ling Yan was used by Luo Qi, who got close to Zhao Yueyao and planted Gu worms on her, and Luo Qi, who was good at witch Gu, used it to control Zhao Yueyao's mind. That's why Qingcheng sent troops to join hands with Shahai and Bihaicheng to attack Shuilan City.Although Luo Qi had limited time to manipulate the Gu worms, it was still difficult for Zhao Yueyao to restore the situation after waking up.She rushed to Shuilan City in a hurry, and after being stabbed for Shen Wanrong, she died in the arms of her most beloved.

Shen Shuang looked at the tombstone, but kept shaking her head.In fact, there is a relationship between myself and this person that is constantly being cut and messed up.If it wasn't for her, how could he have been separated from Shen Wanrong at birth?If it wasn't for her, how could I have met Lu Qingrong?If it wasn't for her, Shen Wanrong would probably have died too.After going through so much, she can no longer hate Zhao Yueyao, and all that is left is full of sympathy and regret.

He scanned Zhao Yueyao's tomb, placed some sacrificial offerings, and looked back at the tombstone before leaving.People, no matter how magnificent they were in life, there is only so much real shelter after death.Zhao Yueyao has been the city lord for so many years, but few people came to see her after she died.He never thought that after she died, he would remember her the most.

I told you, don't ever love the wrong person again in your next life.This is also what I said to myself.

……

It was night, and Shen Shuangzhao went to live in a bamboo house in the forest.Before she came, the bamboo house had been cleaned, and Shen Shuang focused on reading medical books by the candlelight.Speaking of studying medicine, she also learned it because of Lu Qingrong.After all these years, Lu Qingrong was not by her side, but she did not lose this medical skill even a single day.

For Shen Wanrong, Shen Shuangzhao studied medical skills more seriously.Sometimes she would also think that if Lu Qingrong was around, her mother's illness might be cured.It's a pity... Shen Shuangzhao closed the book, what's the use of thinking about it?

"Bam—"

Just when Shen Shuangzhao lost her mind, she heard this sound coming from the bedroom next door to her.She stood up vigilantly and asked, "Who?" Before she finished speaking, she saw a black figure flashing past the window.Shen Shuang thought about it, and secretly screamed that it was not good.She hurried to the bedroom next door, and sure enough, her sword was gone!

She hurriedly ran out to chase after it. This was the only relic left by her father to her mother. If it disappeared, she would really become a "sinner".

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Aren't you sleepy?" Ling Yan leaned against the head of the bed, Luo You lay in her arms, although she didn't say a word, her eyes were wide open.

Luo You shook her head: "Not sleepy."

"No, children need to go to bed early to grow up quickly." Ling Yan stroked her hair, coaxing her in a good voice.

"My mother used to tell me some stories before going to bed, Sister Ling Yan, tell me too." Luo You was shy, but Ling Yan was so gentle, within half a day she put down her guard and would act like a baby to her up.

Mentioning Luo You's mother, Ling Yan was stunned for a moment, and after hesitating for a long time, she tentatively asked: "Your, how is your mother treating you?"

"That's natural." Luo You suddenly got up from her arms, "She is the person who treats me best in the world."

Ling Yan smiled, and asked again: "Where's your father?"

"Daddy is naturally good to me."

"That's fine. Then—is your father treating your mother well?" Ling Yan tried to inquire about Lu Qingrong's news.

Luo You nodded: "He is very kind to my mother, but..." She tilted her head and thought for a while, "But my mother didn't treat him well to me."

Ling Yan gently scratched the tip of her nose: "It's natural." She said to herself, "A person as indifferent as Lu Qingrong would not treat Luo Ji well."

"Who is Lu Qingrong?" Luo You asked suspiciously.

Hearing this, Ling Yan was slightly taken aback: "Isn't your mother's name Lu Qingrong?"

Luo You nodded: "Her surname is Lu, but not Qingrong."

Ling Yan trembled all over, feeling that the blood in her whole body was flowing backwards at this moment, how could it be?She held Luoyou's shoulder in disbelief, and asked, "Your, tell me, what's your mother's name?"

"My father calls her Cai'er."
