Dressed as a vicious stepmother, farming and raising cubs

For some reason, after hearing what he said, Su Liu felt that he looked a bit like a resentful woman in her boudoir, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"It will be April soon, and the crabapples by Lu Lake will be in bloom." Su Liu seemed to suddenly think of something, and suddenly blinked his eyes mysteriously and said, "Why don't we go for a spring outing? The family hasn't been together for a long time. go out."

Su Liu had an extraordinarily bright smile on his face, and his eyes curved into two small crescents, as if they were filled with a pool of spring water.

When he heard her talk about "family", Shen Luochen's eyes suddenly flashed with softness, and he nodded gently without hesitation.

"Then let's make it tomorrow." Su Liu quickly followed his reaction, "I'll call Nineteenth and others to prepare the carriage."

She had originally thought about taking a few children out for a walk while she still had time. If she got busy later, she might not have the chance.

Early the next morning, Su Liu pulled the three dolls out of their sleep.

Hearing that they were going out for an outing with their parents, the three children were very excited and did not complain at all. Su Liu changed the newly bought spring clothes for several people, put some cakes and tea in the food box, and prepared Set off.

Luhu is located on the outskirts of Yucheng. It only takes about an hour by car and is far away from the hustle and bustle. It can be regarded as the first choice as a place to enjoy the scenery.

In the morning, the lake level is as smooth as a mirror, and the water is green. The rising sun is reflected on the lake, casting a silver light like brocade. Occasionally, you can see a few small boats floating on the lake, leisurely and quiet.

There are rows of crabapple trees planted beside the lake, full of layers of light red flowers, which look spectacular from a distance.

"Wow--"

As soon as they got off the carriage, several children sighed in unison and ran towards the direction where the crabapple flowers were in full bloom.

Su Liu and Shen Luochen looked at each other and smiled, then walked slowly behind.

The climate in this season is particularly pleasant. The breeze blows from time to time, bringing warmth and softness to the hair and skin.

Therefore, there are not only their family by Luhu Lake, but also many wealthy families from Yucheng who come here for outings, and some are students studying abroad.

Su Liu chose a shady spot under a tree, set up a small round table, and placed cakes and tea on it.

Sipping tea and admiring flowers in such a scenery is an elegant thing.

Shen Luochen also sat down next to her, and rarely relaxed his brows, showing a relaxed expression.

The three dolls were playing wildly not far away, chasing each other, and it was so lively.

After a while, he actually picked up some fallen flowers from the ground, made a garland out of the flexible branches, and held them in front of Su Liu and Shen Luochen, like a treasure.

"Dad, Mom, let me bring it to you!" Sanwa's voice was very clear, with some faint expectation.

"Thank you Qingqing." Su Liu smiled, leaned down generously, and let her clumsily put the wreath on his head.

But Shen Luochen's expression was a little solemn, and he was reluctant to move, maybe because he couldn't let go.

"Just put it on, it's the child's consideration."

Su Liu patted him on the shoulder dissatisfiedly, his tone was not reproachful, but rather a bit coquettish.

Shen Luochen then took the wreath from Sanwa's hand and reluctantly placed it on his head.

The reason why the word "put" is used is because the wreath is a bit small and cannot be seen when it is worn on Su Liu's head. But when it is placed on his head, it cannot be worn at all and can only be stuck in a small hole on the top of his head. lock up.

A man with stern eyebrows, sharp features, and always a serious face suddenly had small pink flowers on his head. This scene was really funny. Su Liu and the children couldn't help laughing, which made Shen Luochen even more confused.

He didn't take off the garland immediately, but his face turned slightly red and his expression became a little awkward.

"It doesn't matter! It's still... very beautiful!" Su Liu laughed so hard that tears came out, but he still praised it against his will.

When Shen Luochen saw several people laughing so heartily, a helpless smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

After the dolls finished making garlands, they started playing hide-and-seek in the woods again. Only Su Liu and Shen Luochen were left under the tree again.

Her eyes were always focused on the children, so much so that she didn't notice that the eyes of the people around her were also focused on her, with some indescribable emotions.

Suddenly, I heard him say:

"When the matter in the General's Mansion is settled, we can make peace."

This sentence reached her ears in a low but clear voice. No emotion could be heard, but it was like a stone hitting water, catching people off guard.

"What?" Su Liu turned his head in disbelief, wondering for a moment whether he had heard him wrong.

The two originally agreed that after three years, he would let her go.

However, less than a year has passed and the children have not grown up yet. How could he suddenly say this?

Seeing her confused expression, Shen Luochen seemed to have expected it and explained calmly:

"If you return to the General's Mansion as a free man, you can at least live a peaceful and happy life in the future. If I force you to stay by my side, I'm afraid you will also be worried."

For Shen Luochen, this idea had already sprouted in his mind from the moment he learned about Su Liu's true identity.

Maybe now is the time for him to let go.

"But..." Su Liu frowned, not knowing what to say.

She decided to return to the General's Mansion just because she was annoyed by Wen Ruoshui and wanted to take the opportunity to take revenge and give her children a break.

Now she is told that when she returns to her true identity, she will be separated from her children.

"Furthermore, General Wen and I have fundamentally different positions. If you return to the General's Mansion, you and I... should also be on opposite sides."

Shen Luochen added, although his tone was calm, it was not difficult to detect his depression.

"You mean, we will become enemies?" Su Liu became more and more disbelieving, his eyes widened and his expression flickered.

Why hadn't she thought of this before? General Wen's family has been loyal for generations, and Shen Luochen's enemy is the current Holy Emperor. So aren't they on two different sides?

"No, you will never be my enemy." Shen Luochen shook his head firmly, looked up at the blue sky, and said to himself.

"If that day comes, I will respect your choice, but... I won't be soft on others."

At the end of the sentence, his expression suddenly turned cold and turned into a sinister and cold expression.

Su Liu was stunned by his series of words. She lowered her head in a daze and clenched the corners of her skirt unconsciously with her hands.

She never expected that her original choice would lead to this.

So, can she only choose between the General's Mansion and this place? (End of chapter)
