~ IT’S THE MOON AGAIN ~
“Of course!” Mu Yunyao said with a firm tone, “How can parents not look forward to their children?” Otherwise, her mother wouldn’t have died for her in her previous life…
Su You’s fingers gradually tightened as tears dripped onto the scripture she was holding. She had always felt that she did not have much time left. She feared that her parents would send her away with the black-haired man. It’s better to be alienated and sharp. In this way, when she really leaves, her parents wouldn’t feel too much heartache.
Mu Yunyao had a faint smile on her face as she stretched out her hand to take out the scripture she had copied. “Look at you, I originally already had enough to copy, but you’ve come here to make trouble.”
Su You’s eyes widened as she looked at Mu Yunyao indignantly, “I’m already so sad, won’t you going to comfort me?”
Mu Yunyao slightly raised her brows. “The fruits that you promised me to help you eat haven’t been sent over, yet you’re still coming here to let me comfort you. How can you be this reasonable?”
After being interrupted like this, her previous sadness cut off now, and the tears stopped at this moment. She said, “Can’t you say something nicer? Your temper is even more perverse than mine.”
“If you want to hear something nice, then quickly go back and find Second Aunt. She will always coax you. A few days ago, she came here to play and even told my mother about the interesting things about you when you were young.”
Su You’s eyes widened even wider. It was unknown if it was anticipation or shyness, but her cheeks blushed slightly. “What did my mother say?”
“She said that you had the calmest personality and had excellent patience when you were young. It was unknown where you picked up a strand of hair, yet you wanted to use it to tie the pearl in the box. In the end, you actually tied the pearl. When she asked what you were doing, you said you wanted to tie a chain to your mother. When you see a pearl fall, you will squat down on the ground and slowly tie it back up. It is so fun.”
“How can a pearl be tied with hair? I’m not that stupid. You must be lying to me!”
“If you don’t believe me, then go and ask Second Aunt. Why should I fool you?” Mu Yunyao replied with a smile.
Su You hurriedly stood up and wanted to walk out, but after taking two steps, she walked back and snatched the Buddhist scripture from Mu Yunyao’s hands, “Since I broke it, then I’ll give you another one tomorrow. I... I’ll be leaving first.”
Seeing Su You leaving in such a hurry, Mu Yunyao couldn’t help but laugh. She sat behind the table and continued copying the Buddhist scriptures.
Not long after, Su Qing walked in with a tremella and lotus seed soup in her hand. “I heard Su You was coming. Why didn’t you let her play for a while?”
“The child’s character is unstable. After staying here for a while, she said that she missed Second Aunt, so she immediately turned around and left directly.”
“You must have said something, right?” Su Qing couldn’t help but smile, “Your temper may seem easy to get close to, but the things that can really put in your you feel it aren’t much, and once you put it in your heart, you will definitely be able to plan things out for the other party. I think that your treatment of Su You is very well.”
Mu Yunyao stood up and leaned on Su Qing’s side. Her tone carried a trace of emotion, “Let Mother find out. I don’t know what happened. Every time I see Su You, I feel like I can’t bear it. Besides, her personality is also simple, and she doesn’t have any bad intentions towards me. If it weren’t for this, no matter how pitiful she was, I wouldn’t take another look.”
Su Qing caressed Mu Yunyao’s hair, “Mother thinks that’s good, you don’t only have a mother, there should also be many people by your side. Now that you’ve accepted your adoptive father and mother. You also very kind generous to Jin Lan, Jin Qiao, and the others, but this is far from enough. You must have friends and partners who can support each other. In the future, there should be a husband who will take care of you and accompany you until white hair … … In short, Mother wishes for you to become better and better, better than anyone else in the world.”
When she heard Su Qing say the word husband’, Mu Yunyao’s mind suddenly recalled the image of Yue Wang that appeared under the Cinnabar Osmanthusand last night, and then she froze in place. Why did she think of him?
After Su Qing finished speaking, she didn’t wait for Mu Yunyao’s reply. She couldn’t help but turn her head and see her blushing face. “Yao’er, what did you think of?”
“I …” Mu Yunyao suddenly came back to her senses and hurriedly shook her head. “I didn’t think of anything. I just thought that what Mother said was reasonable.”
“You’re really not thinking about anything at all?”
“Truly, I would naturally not deceive Mother.” It was definitely because Yue Wang appeared too suddenly yesterday. Furthermore, the beautiful moonlight that night had disturbed her thoughts. If it were not for that, she would not have let her thoughts run wild.
Looking at her appearance, Su Qing laughed and didn’t continue to ask. “I heard from Jin Lan that you need to copy a lot of Buddhist scriptures. Mother doesn’t know many words and can’t help you with anything, so I can only cook some delicious food. If there’s anything you need, you tell me in time, do you understand?”
“Mm. Mother, don’t worry. I’ll remember it.”
On the other side, Su You hurriedly returned to the West Courtyard. As soon as she entered, she saw Second Madam welcoming her, “Daughter, why did you leave in such a hurry? Your forehead is already sweating, and your face is so pale. Do you need Mother to call the doctor to take a look for you?”
Su You shook he read, bit her lower lip, and looked extremely uncomfortable, “Mother... Did I tie pearls with my hair when I was a child?”
The Second Madam was stunned and could not help but smile. “Who did you hear this from?”
“It was Mu Yunyao who told me. She said that last time you talked with Aunt about my childhood. She said that I was extremely patient when I was young and would use my hair to tie the pearl.”
The Second Madam’s smile deepened. “Yes, you did. When I came in, I saw you holding a string of pearls in your hand, and I didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. You brought that string of pearls to my mother’s side, saying that you wanted her to wear it. I was so happy that I didn’t know what to say at that time...”
Su You’s expression turned even more awkward. “Mother, do you think I’m troublesome?”
The Second Madam was thinking about the past and laughing. However, when she heard those words, she quickly returned to her senses and shook her head. “I love you so much. Why would I think that you’re troublesome?” It wasn’t easy for her to give birth to this child, so it wasn’t enough to treat her as an eye ache. Even if she was worried and suffering every day, she was still happy.
Su You’s eyes reddened, thinking back to the words Mu Yunyao had said before. Suppressing the uneasiness in her heart, she stepped forward and held Second Madam’s arm, “Mu Yunyao’s Mother can make things for her. I also want to eat something made by Mother.”
The Second Madam was stunned. Her heart suddenly turned sour, and her eyes immediately turned red. “Fine. What do you want to eat? Mother will make it for you!”
In the past few years, Su You’s illness became more serious, and her personality became more and more rebellious and stubborn. Even when facing her mother, she would always get angry, as if her entire body was covered in thorns. No matter who is close to her, it will make others bleed. She has not seen such a soft appearance for many years.
