Pastoral Master

Chapter 39 Sing to me like a mother!

Yan Ruxue took Li Yao back to the room. The room was not big, and the wooden bed was even smaller. Fortunately, Yan Ruxue was slender, and Li Yao was only a five-year-old child. The bed is not too crowded.

"Sister, I can't sleep!" Li Yao stared at Yan Ruxue imploringly with his small black eyes.

In Li Yao's memory, he has always slept alone. Whether it's the warm kang in winter or the bamboo in summer, he is always alone on the bed. The maids are hiding in his mother's arms and acting coquettishly, he is so envious, he is not as good as those maids and servants!
Lying in the arms of a woman for the first time, Li Yao couldn't help but regard Yan Ruxue as his mother.

Can't sleep?Yan Ruxue frowned, she really didn't know how to coax children. "Then what to do?"

"Can you sing to me like your mother?" Li Yao kissed Yan Ruxue's arms, sniffing Yan Ruxue's body fragrance, Li Yao's nose was a little sore, if this could really be his mother How nice it would be dear!

Like a mother!Yan Ruxue was taken aback by Li Yao's words, and suddenly realized that this little guy had never mentioned his mother. "What songs does your mother sing to you?"

"I... my mother... I've never seen her... woo... grandma said... grandma said that my mother died of dystocia when she gave birth to me..."

Li Yao burst into tears at the end.

For a moment Yan Ruxue also felt uncomfortable, and comforted her. "Stop crying, you still have a father anyway, no matter whether the father is good or bad, you can always see it, but me, I don't even know who my biological parents are, whether they are dead or alive I don't know, even if I want to ask them why they threw me away? I can't find anyone to ask..."

When people hear that someone is worse than themselves, it is easy for people to forget their pain, not to mention that Li Yao is only a five-year-old child.

With tears still hanging on his face, Li Yao asked out of breath. "Sister, haven't you seen your mother?"

Yan Ruxue nodded. "Well, I haven't seen it, and I don't want to see it anymore. Your mother passed away, but my parents threw me in the snow. In such a cold day, they don't want me to live at all..."

Speaking of sad things, Yan Ruxue also sobbed.

Li Yao stretched out his small hand and gently stroked Yan Ruxue's face. "Sister, don't cry. When I grow up, I will help you find your parents and throw them into the snow!"

The childish words made Yan Ruxue feel warm, and she lightly touched Li Yao's nose. "Little fool!" Then he hugged Li Yao tightly in his arms and asked in a low voice. "What song do you want to hear?"

"Whatever, I'll listen to whatever my sister sings!" Li Yao laughed with satisfaction, all he wanted was the feeling of being held in his arms and singing softly, like a mother's feeling.

Immediately, there was a soft singing sound in the room, the voice was neither high nor low, softly piercing into people's hearts, Li Yao gradually closed his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, the calming singing voice, the warm embrace, gently Touching, this is the feeling of a mother...

Li Qi led his men and horses to the outside of the courtyard of the Qin family, led by the servants, and the sergeants surrounded the small courtyard with torches.

"That's right here?" Li Yan looked at the small yard in front of him and couldn't help being a little dazed. He still knew his little nephew. It can be said that he was spoiled and spoiled since he was a child. Unexpectedly, the home of a big family is such a small farmyard. When will his little nephew be able to endure such hardship?
The servant who had been following Li Yao hurriedly bowed and replied. "That's right here. The young master used to like to run here a few days ago. He came here after class, and he also came after class. Today he suddenly stopped leaving for some reason, and ordered the little one to go back and pack some clothes!"

"That's it!" Li Yu couldn't help frowning. There are two alleys here, and the residents in the alleys are very close to each other. If they make too much noise, it will definitely alarm the nearby residents. What kind of ugly words came out, for the sake of Xiao'er's reputation, he could only do it quietly this time!
"Send someone to knock on the door!" Li Yu waved his hand.

The servant immediately stepped forward and knocked on the door. "Knock knock knock! Mr. Yan! Mr. Yan!"

The boy only knew that Li Yao came here with Yan Chen, but he didn't know about Yan Ruxue, so it was only Yan Chen who spoke.

Yan Chen has always had the habit of reading at night, and his room is closer to the courtyard door, and when he heard someone knocking on the door, he still called him, and he muttered in his heart, even in the academy, he rarely interacted with people, Who is it so late?
He got up and went to open the door, and asked. "Who?"

"It's a villain!" The boy replied.

Yan Chen recognized that it was the servant next to Li Yao, and thought that the palace was worried about Li Yao, so he let out a long sigh, what a disaster!Reluctantly stepped forward to open the door.

As soon as the door was opened, there was a fire in front of him, Yan Chen couldn't help squinting his eyes, and asked. "What's the matter so late?"

The boy replied. "We're here to pick up my young master, can I trouble Mr. Yan to invite my young master out?"

Yan Chen looked back and saw that the candles in Yan Ruxue's room had gone out, and said back. "Your young master is probably already asleep. If you really want to pick him up, you'd better wait until tomorrow morning!"

Yan Chen was not afraid that they would disturb Li Yao's good sleep, he was afraid that they would disturb Yan Ruxue's good sleep.

The little servant looked back at Li Yu in embarrassment, the latter frowned and sighed. "Young master, please wake up my nephew, otherwise, if his father comes here, this street will never be safe!"

Hearing Li Zhi calling Li Zhi his nephew, Yan Chen probably guessed Li Zhi's identity, thinking of the prince with the scar on his face, Yan Chen's expression darkened, and he turned and went to Yan Ruxue's room.

Although the lights were turned off, Yan Ruxue did not fall asleep. At night, recalling the sad things, Yan Ruxue felt like a stone was pressing on her heart, and she couldn't fall asleep. Yan Chen came to knock on the door.

"Sister? Are you asleep?"

"No!" Yan Ruxue replied, if Yan Chen was fine at this late hour, she would definitely not come to disturb her, so after answering, Yan Ruxue immediately got up and dressed, adjusted the veil on her face, and opened the door.

After Yan Chen understood the reason, Yan Ruxue let Yan Chen in and carried Li Yao out.

Yan Chen sent Li Yao to the door, and the servant reached out to take Li Yao.

"Wait!" Yan Ruxue chased out from behind, holding the skirt that Old Madam Qin had just made for her, wrapped Li Yao inside and out, and explained in her mouth. "The clothes are brand new. I haven't worn them once. It's getting colder, and it's getting colder at night. Be careful not to freeze him!"
