After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 354

Immediately, Liu realized that she had neglected her daughter a lot.

This is her youngest daughter, but when she was born, because of Yao Wanning's poor health, she lacked energy and didn't pay much attention to Yao Shouning.

Thanks to Yao Shouning's hard work, he has never had any major problems since he was a child, and he has a good personality, cheerful and lively.

Liu Shi forced herself to raise her head, just at this time Yao Shouning also turned her face away, their eyes met, this time neither of them hid.

There are two figures in the mirror, one with bright eyes and white teeth, the other is nearly forty years old, showing fatigue.

Recently, Yao's family has a lot of affairs, and Liu's family has become haggard.

The smooth bronze mirror clearly reflected the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. Her hair was still thick, but she could see a little silvery white mixed in the hair. She was plump and her skin was slightly loose;
In contrast, Yao Shouning was in his youth, his face was moist and shiny, like a budding flower.

Comparing the two, it is more obvious.

The mother and daughter looked at each other, and upon closer inspection, there were subtle similarities in their faces.

Looking at it, the eye circles of the two of them involuntarily began to turn red.

Liu was startled to realize that her daughter had grown up, far from the child she had imagined.

Before that, she seemed to be busy all the time, and she had never calmed down and looked at the child seriously.

The daughter in front of her had black hair like clouds and a face like a lotus. Liu Shi knew she was beautiful, but it seemed that it was the first time she realized Yao Shouning's beauty.

"Shouning has grown up, so pretty."

Liu's eyes were wet, and she suddenly realized how cruel she was.

She let a young girl, at the age that should be the most innocent and romantic, dress up old-fashioned, suppress her nature, and suppress her various things.

"sorry--"

Liu's chin was pressed against her daughter's forehead, and the three words that she thought would be difficult to say in front of the junior slipped out of her mouth easily.

After having a beginning, the following words will be much easier to say.

She choked up and said:

"Mother ignored you, didn't believe your words, and favored your older sister since she was a child—" The more she said, the more guilty she became, but she hoped to be forgiven by her daughter:

"Will you blame me?"

As soon as these words came out of her mouth, Liu Shi realized her own darkness.

Even though Yao Shouning hadn't spoken yet, she already knew the answer.

There was complete trust in the girl's eyes, and there was no separation or defense against her.

"I don't blame my mother." Yao Shouning really shook his head.

Liu Shi asked guiltily:

"why?"

"Because you are my mother." Yao Shouning said softly.

She has a strong sense. At this time, Liu's eyes in the mirror were tearful, but he hesitated to speak, and his mood was complicated. But even though his mother didn't say a word, Yao Shouning could still feel all kinds of complicated thoughts in her heart.

"Actually, I was angry before." Yao Shouning took Liu's hand and put it on his cheek:
"But I still love my mother very much after being angry. I also understand my mother, there are many things to be busy every day."

She is an adult and has many things to worry about every day.

"You're worried about your sister's health, your elder brother's studies, and you're worried about your father—" Yao Shouning smiled sweetly, but met his mother's teary eyes, then smiled again, and lowered his head:

"There are so many things at home, and your energy is limited, so sometimes you will naturally get angry over small things."

The more sensible she is, the more heartbroken and regretful she is. Yao Shouning turned around and put his arms around Liu's waist:

"But I've grown up now, and sometimes I have my own thoughts." When she said this, she looked a little hesitant, put her face on Liu's waist, and said in a low voice:

"Maybe I won't be as obedient as before, but my love for mother will never change. If something makes you angry, I hope mother can trust me more and listen to my own heart."

Liu's expression was full of mixed feelings.

The girl in front of her has never left her eyes for a day, but she has gradually grown up in the place she neglected, and she is no longer the ignorant and naive look at the beginning.

She was both sad and relieved, and finally hugged her daughter:

"……it is good."

'Boom—boom——'

The mother and daughter were talking when they suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums outside.

"Mrs!"

The mallow's shout came, and she rushed into the house, calling:

"The drum sounded, it should be coming from the altar."

Shendu City has been preparing for this sacrifice for more than a month. I heard that three animals were prepared, and they were transported to the side of Bailing River in the morning.

Heavy troops were sent to guard the riverside, and most of the people in the city surrounded them.

"The prince is here too."

Feng Chun also followed into the courtyard, and when Liu Shi heard this, she quickly wiped away her tears and urged her daughter to get up quickly.

"Don't make the prince wait for a long time. I heard that there will be a street parade in the afternoon, and there will be god dancing and praying by the river. It's very lively. You and the prince should go to play early, so as not to go late and there will be so many people that you can't squeeze in."

After she finished speaking, she took a dusty pink jacket from the shelf beside her:
"Put this on, it's cold at night, don't catch a cold."

While speaking, he unfolded the clothes and watched Yao Shouning put his arms in, then tied up the rope in the middle of the skirt.

Mrs. Liu looked at her daughter with satisfaction, and said in her heart: Shou Ning is really pretty, the son will definitely like her when he sees her, it seems that when he is free, he should ask the eldest princess what she means.

"..."

Yao Shouning heard clearly, and quickly emphasized:

"I'm not going to play with the prince, but to check the 'river god', check the 'river god'."

Her face was hot, and her ears were red and bleeding.

Liu Shi nodded absently:

"Yes, yes, check 'River God'." But he said in his heart: My daughter and the son's appearance are really matching.

"..." Yao Shouning's cheeks were flushed, and Liu Shi pushed her out.

When Dongkui entered the room, she happened to run into the mother and daughter. The moment she saw Yao Shouning, she stood on her heels, her eyes widened, and she let out a 'wow' sound.

"Miss looks really good today."

Feng Chun was also full of praise, and Liu's expression could not be concealed, and asked again:

"Where are Ruoyun and the others?"

"They're all outside, greeting the prince."

Mrs. Liu pulled her daughter out, and sure enough, she saw that the courtyard outside was very lively. Lu Zhi was talking to Yao Hui with his back to the main room.

When he heard footsteps, he turned his head subconsciously, and the figure of Yao Shouning going out with his skirt in hand bumped into his eyes and heart.

"..." He held his breath for a moment.

Blocking all the hustle and bustle in his mind, his eyes widened, and he heard the sound of blood 'gurgling' and the sound of his heart beating harder and harder.

"Shou Ning! Shou Ning! Shou Ning! Shou Ning!"

Yao Shouning came out with his skirt up, and heard someone calling his name loudly.

She turned her head, but saw that everyone in the family was looking at her with smiles on their faces.

Father, eldest brother, sister, grandfather, uncle and Su Qingchun.

The prince's lips were tightly pursed, and his expression was very serious - but a red tide surged from his neck, and after a short time, his face turned red.

"Shou Ning! Shou Ning! Shou Ning!"

Someone else was calling her.

But no one spoke, and Yao Shouning realized that he might have overheard someone else's voice again.

"Shouning is so pretty!"

"Sister Yu's youngest daughter is really outstanding." Su Wenfang thought in his heart.

"Shouning shouldn't have worn old-fashioned colors before."

"I don't know if my sister's face can still be healed, and she can wear beautiful dresses and look as good-looking as my cousin." This was Su Qingchun's voice.

"Yu'er should have let Shouning wear such a dress." Yao Hui was also satisfied in his heart.

"Shouning is so beautiful." Yao Wanning also admired.

Yao Shouning hadn't recovered from his normal face and was slightly hot again. Everyone was defenseless at this moment, and the compliments in their hearts flooded towards Yao Shouning, making it too late for her to look for someone calling her name loudly in her heart.

"Shou Ning! Shou Ning! Shou Ning!"

Her cheeks were red, Yao Wanning and others had already surrounded her, chatting with her in a hurry.

The eldest son who had talked with the Yao family earlier was rarely silent at this time, and Liu Shi stared at the two of them, the more he watched, the more satisfied he became.

"Cough." Liu Shi coughed, attracting everyone's attention.

"Everyone don't surround yourself."

'Boom dong dong——' At this moment, the faint sound of drums sounded again in the distance, and everyone's expressions were a little excited.

"I think the sacrifice is about to start. Many people are heading south of the city, and everyone is going out to play."

After she finished speaking, she said:

"Shouning is with Shizi, and Wanning is with you, Uncle Zheng..."

Liu made arrangements, with some regrets:
"It's a pity that Ruoyun can't go together, otherwise he and Qingchun will be safer with more people."

When she said this, Yao Ruoyun looked blank, and turned to look at Yao Hui, with accusations in her eyes.

The day before yesterday, Yao Hui couldn't stay idle and insisted on forcing him to practice boxing. He even asked him to drag the stone lock, saying that it was to exercise his body. On the second day, both he and Su Qingchun were in pain, and they could barely hold the pen tightly.

As a result, both he and Su Qingchun felt that it was inappropriate to go out today.

But at this time, when the drums sounded, young people inevitably loved the excitement, and he received an invitation from Wen's family, saying that Wen Xianrong was going out too, Yao Ruoyun's thoughts were shaken.

He looked back at Su Qingchun, and saw that his cousin also showed yearning and longing.

Since the Su siblings have been fascinated for a long time, the family has not been very peaceful. Neither of them went out for a stroll. Thinking of this, Yao Ruoyun quickly said:

"I might as well go with Qingchun."

He reached out and pinched his arms and thighs, grinning in pain:

"We are much better, and we happen to be with Wanning and the others."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu was a little surprised:
"Can you go?"

Su Qingchun also endured the pain, straightened his chest, and said:
"Can—" His tone was not as firm as Yao Ruoyun's. When he spoke, he looked at his elder cousin's expression and saw him nodding at him. Then he got a little more courageous and added a loud sentence:
"can."

Mrs. Liu still hesitated, so Su Wenfang smiled and said:

"Sister Yu, don't worry, we'll all go together, just walk slowly, it won't get in the way."

"Okay." Mrs. Liu glared at Yao Hui, and then responded without spoiling the children's interest.

"Where is Miaozhen?" She immediately thought of Su Miaozhen again, and Su Wenfang said hastily:
"Miaozhen said that she hasn't finished her embroidery work, so she won't join in the fun today."

Because of Lu Zhi's presence, he made up an excuse at will.

Liu Shi felt a little regretful, but she also knew the reason why Su Miaozhen didn't want to go out. It was a lively night, so it was safer for her to stay at home.

"Let's go too."

Yao Hui was stared at by his wife, but he didn't take it seriously, instead he said with a smile:

"I've been busy with official duties these few years, so I seldom accompany you around. Anyway, I'm at home now, so I just took this opportunity to go out for a walk."

When Liu Shi heard this, she was a little moved at first, and then shook her head:
"No."

She naturally wanted to go out with her husband for a walk and talk, but when she thought of home, she stopped thinking:
"The gods are not at peace these days."

After the flood, a large number of refugees were caused. Many people who lost their houses and relatives turned into thieves after being desperate, and committed crimes everywhere.

"Originally, this place is considered peaceful, but a few days ago, I heard that someone from Mr. Zhao's house next door also climbed over the wall and entered the yard, and stole a lot of things. The whole family didn't notice it, and no one responded to the report."

After the Yao family experienced the 'River God' incident, the whole family was very vigilant, so there was no opportunity for anyone to take advantage of it.

Today's Shangsi Festival, many people in Shendu City will go to the banks of the Bailing River to watch the excitement, and there may be no one at home. At this time, thieves will definitely take the opportunity to commit crimes.

Mrs. Liu let the children out to play, and was reluctant to detain the servants at home, so she made up her mind to stay with Yao Hui to guard the house, lest thieves break into the empty door.

"do not worry."

At this time, Liu Bingzhou opened his mouth and said:

"Go and play on your own. I'm here at home, so thieves can't get in."

When he said this, Liu Shi hesitated:
"Father, aren't you going?"

Liu Bingzhou shook his head, looked at his daughter with a smile:

"Have you been in charge of your own affairs for a long time, and you have forgotten yourself?"

He twisted his long beard:

"Father is here, there is no reason for you to stay at home and watch over."

Liu Shi misses the child, but in Liu Bingzhou's heart, she is also his child.

"Go and have fun with Hui'er, and I won't join in the fun." He said:

"I'm old, so I'm not very interested in such excitement." Seeing that Mrs. Liu was still talking, he hurriedly said:
"When it's more lively in the future, I will go out, but not now, you just go."

He has made up his mind.

Yao Hui was overjoyed when he heard that, and quickly pulled Liu Shi's hand:
"Let's go too."

"Okay." Liu Shi was not used to it at the beginning, but she was affected by the lively atmosphere, and seeing her husband's gentle face, remembering that the couple really didn't have much time to travel alone these years, she couldn't help nodding her head with a look on her face. Some shyly responded.

After she finished answering, she saw Su Wenfang's expression of envy and emotion—at this moment, he probably thought of his wife, and missed the scene when the husband and wife traveled together.

Yao Hui looked happy, and Liu Shi was taken aback for a moment, then pursed her lips and smiled, and held her husband's palm instead.

At this moment, Yao Wanning suddenly said:
"Mother, I don't go out with elder brother and the others either."

"what?"

Her words surprised everyone, and they all turned to look at her.

Yao Shouning raised his head and stared at his sister, but saw that she had a gentle expression and a faint smile:
"Go and play, I'll stay at home."

Yao Shouning regained his composure, and found that he could hear his sister's inner praise before, but now he couldn't hear her heart.

She seemed to have closed her heart - which proved that she was extremely guarded at this time.

This kind of defense is not only aimed at herself, I am afraid that Yao Wanning has other plans today.

Just when such a thought came to her mind, she heard Liu's nervous voice:

"Is there something wrong with you?"

Her daughter has been ill for many years, and she has developed a temperament that is very easy to be anxious when she is startled. While speaking, she subconsciously reached out to touch Yao Wanning's forehead.

Yao Wanning did not hide, but let her mother touch her forehead meekly.

"Forget it, I'm not going either." Liu Shi immediately regretted it, and was about to give up her husband and concentrate on spending time with her daughter.

Yao Wanning quickly said:
"Mother, you can go, I just don't want to go to the river, I want to be alone and quiet."

Liu Shi still wanted to speak, Yao Hui also came to persuade:

"Wanning has not been ill for several months. There are many people tonight. She always likes to be quiet. If you don't want to go, let her go. You can leave her at home with her father to accompany her."

Everyone persuaded me with one word, Yao Wanning also nodded:

"I want to be alone, Qing Yuan and Bai Yu also go to play with Big Brother and the others."

When the two maids heard this, they both showed uncontrollable joy.

Although Liu said she was still a little worried, Liu Bingzhou glanced at Yao Wanning with a meaningful look in her eyes, and then turned to look at her daughter:
"Wanning is right, go play by yourself and leave her alone, nothing will happen."

"Then, well—"

Liu agreed hesitantly.
