Chapter 41 Taken Back

"stop!"

Xu Ziying arrived at the critical moment and stood in front of Lin Wanniang in a state of embarrassment.

"Hua Rong, I always thought you were a considerate person, but today I can see through you!"

Hua Rong was indifferent to these words, and she looked at him quietly.

"I haven't taken any action because I thought you knew it, but today I discovered that you have lost your mind. Just to visit her, you not only ran away, but also dragged me and my daughter into trouble."

"As a family member who has been supporting you and helping you, it's really heartbreaking."

"Today you can either return to the disaster area immediately with the supplies I prepared, or you can watch here as I beat your little love to death on the spot."

She didn't want to come to this point because she didn't want to have too much involvement with Xu Ziying, but this matter was too special. If she continued to do nothing, the final result would be terrible.

Xu Ziying glared at her hatefully, and Hua Rong looked back unyieldingly. The relationship between the two was supposed to be filled with smoke, but not long after, Xu Ziying strangely retracted his emotions and agreed to return to the disaster area.

Lin Wanniang thought he was doing it for her and was so moved.

"Yinglang——"

Xu Ziying walked forward without responding. He just stopped when passing by Hua Rong and spoke in a voice that only they and the two of them could hear.

"Hua Rong, I always thought you didn't care about me, but today I know how much you love me."

Hua Rong didn't expect that he would think of this. She was so disgusted that she almost vomited on the spot. Worried about breaching the security of the scene, she immediately got into the car with her two children, and then asked the driver to find a restaurant.

Xu Zhiyan kept staring at Hua Rong on the way.

She looked weird.

"Nanny, what are you looking at? Is there something stuck on my mother's face?"

Xu Zhiyan shook her head, "No, I just feel that my mother is unhappy."

[Obviously, I successfully drove my father back to the disaster area, and I also ordered people to spread the word that when I came back, I wanted to personally deliver supplies to each other. I didn’t say before that I was worried that someone would try to get this batch of supplies, but everything went as expected, and my mother still seemed unhappy. Why? ? 】

In her opinion, she should be happy to set off a few fireworks now.

Hua Rong pursed her lips and turned her head to look out the window after a while.

"You'll know when you grow up."

Hua Rong and Xu Ziying have been together for a long time, from being unknown to now wearing a black gauze hat, and no matter how much time passes, he has always treated her the same as before. She once thought that they were true love and were appointed by the gods in the sky. .

You can imagine how beautiful it is, but how devastated it is when it is broken.

She knew how normal Xu Ziying behaved during the day when he was causing trouble outside, and how heart-wrenching it was to cry alone in bed at night, with a mixture of love and hate, and unbearable pain.

In the following years, the pull between these two emotions never stopped, but the love was wasted away in the torrent of time.

This was discovered after she felt physically nauseous after hearing him speak to her like that today.

Hua Rong slowly closed his eyes and leaned the back of his head against the car.

"Nanny, Xiaoqing, Mom wants to take a rest. Call me when you get to the place."

The tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and what Hua Rong thought was a light sleep turned into a deep sleep. When he woke up again, he was no longer on the carriage, but lying in a warm and comfortable bed. Even the fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose was a familiar smell.

She sat up on her elbows.

Finding herself in the yard where she lived before getting married, she suddenly thought she had returned to the past, but the faint laughter of children outside the house reminded her that everything was still the same. Huarong sighed lightly, put on his clothes and went out.

Xu Zhiyan's sharp eyes caught sight of Hua Rong, and she waved to her like a little lucky cat.

"Mom, wake up. My uncle is in the study reading something. He said we would eat after you wake up."

"Mom, let's go. I'll take you to find your uncle, and then we'll have dinner together. I heard the chef grandpa say that today there will be braised pork elbows, sliced ​​duck, sausage rings... Suck, I can't do it anymore, mom, let's go faster. ah!"

Hua Rong was amused by her useless look and took out a handkerchief to wipe the crystal corners of her mouth.

"Okay, please step carefully."

……

Hua Zangyue's study is in his own yard, just a few steps away from Huarong's yard. No matter how short Xu Zhiyan's legs are, it doesn't take long to walk there. As soon as she enters the yard, Xu Zhiyan runs towards the study like a wild horse. go.

When Hua Rong arrived, what he saw was Xu Zhiyan lying on Hua Zangyue's knees, clutching his clothes with her little hands, and muttering about wanting to eat extra-large rock candy oranges.

Hua Zangyue patted her head indulgently.

"No, your eldest brother has written a letter, saying that your teeth are in danger and you must limit sweets. Be obedient and eat more vegetables. In a month, your eldest brother will buy you rock candy oranges, but only small ones."

Xu Zhiyan was unhappy and stood up with a pouting sound. Unexpectedly, the back of her head hit the edge of the table, pushing up the entire table. Stars could be seen in front of her eyes.

Hua Zangyue's expression changed, and he quickly picked her up and sat on his lap, checking her head gently.

When I touched the bulge, the pain in my eyes almost became concrete.

"Silly boy, he is stupid to begin with, but what should he do if he is knocked stupid?"

Hua Rong was relieved.

"Brother, don't worry. This silly niece of yours can stumble on the ground at home. She can roll around and bump against the bed board while sleeping. Today's problem is just a small problem. She doesn't even need to apply medicine and it will heal on her own."

Hua Zangyue scolded her for being big-hearted.

"That's not how children are raised."

"Okay, okay, everything you said is right."

As the two of them talked back and forth, Xu Zhiyan had already calmed down and was looking at the things on the table curiously with her big eyes.

[Hey, the canal is going to be built, right? I remember that before the Hua family was falsely accused of practicing witchcraft, they lost their Sacred Heart because of something. It seemed to be related to some canal or some corruption. 】

Xu Zhiyan really didn't remember it, only a vague idea remained.

After hearing this, Hua Rong lowered his eyes and pretended to pay casual attention to the official business on Hua Zangyue's table.

"Brother, are we going to start a big construction project? I heard some rumors when I was doing business. My stomach is already growling. Go out and find my brother and start eating first. My mother and uncle will be there later."

These words made it clear that Xu Zhiyan should be driven away.

Xu Zhiyan was not interested in what they had to say, so she left in a hurry. As soon as she left, the atmosphere in the study became less relaxed. Hua Rong didn't care, cleared her throat and spoke.

"Opening up the canal is no small matter. As early as half a year ago, the royal family was looking for an imperial merchant who was qualified to be responsible for the construction. There is a businessman who is slippery and unreliable. He is currently the emperor's favorite."

"I know some inside information. I can say that the final candidate is definitely that person."

"Brother, you must not take over this stall in Canal. I doubt that person will do anything."
