Although Xiao Mu is now an adult, there are still shadows of his youth in his eyebrows.
In addition, Xiao Mu's master Yu Xiaoyao had described Xiao Mu's current appearance to her many times, so when Mrs. Xiao saw Xiao Mu, she did not feel strange at all, but felt very friendly.
"How long have you two been back? Was it hard on the road?"
Mrs. Xiao asked the two of them with concern.
"It's not hard!" Ye Luoxin replied.
"We have been back for a while, but we have other things to deal with at home and have been busy for a long time, so we came a little late."
Ye Luoxin said it carefully.
As he spoke, he looked at the lady's face, fearing that she would be angry because of this.
Mrs. Xiao didn't find fault because of this.
She looked at Xiao Mu, hoping he would say something too.
But Xiao Mu, who was usually taciturn, seemed to have his mouth sealed at this time, refusing to say a word.
Seeing that the atmosphere between the two people was a bit awkward, Ye Luoxin had no choice but to speak again: "My husband told me when I was at home that my mother is a great beauty. I really didn't expect that my mother looks so young and beautiful."
As the saying goes, you can wear everything you wear, but you can never wear flattery.
Although Ye Luoxin is not good at this, she also knows what women like.
Sure enough, after saying these words, a look of surprise immediately appeared on the lady's face.
"Really? Mu'er told you this?"
She touched her face with her hand: "But I am old now, and I really can't say that I am beautiful."
"No way!" Ye Luoxin said, "To be disrespectful, you look like your husband's sister, not his mother at all."
After hearing this, not only Mrs. Xiao couldn't believe it, but even Xiao Mu couldn't sit still.
His little wife is usually very steady, but why did her speaking style change like this when she saw his mother?
"Mother!" Xiao Mu finally spoke.
"Is your body okay?"
Mrs. Xiao finally waited for Xiao Mu to speak, and she was still concerned about her body.
She immediately said happily: "There is nothing serious about my health. Thanks to the Wangfenghe you found for me. Your master said that you have been guarding this Wangfenghe. Thank you for your hard work!"
"Nothing, just by the way!" Xiao Mu said calmly.
Ye Luoxin felt familiar when she heard the words "Wang Fenghe".
After thinking about it carefully, I finally remembered when I had heard this name.
"I remembered!" She clapped her hands, "When my husband took me to the mountain, it was just to protect this wind-lily plant. Later, my uncle came and took the wind-lily tree away, and the two of us came down from the mountain."
When Mrs. Xiao heard Ye Luoxin's words, she immediately guessed the situation at that time.
The two children worked tirelessly. Standing alone on the mountain to protect the medicinal plants from being destroyed by other animals would definitely be a difficult life.
"Luoxin, you are also affected."
"No, no!" Ye Luoxin waved her hands repeatedly, "Mom, please don't think so. Thinking about it now, those days in the mountains were really happy."
"Oh? Really?" Mrs. Xiao was intrigued and turned to look at Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu looked at Ye Luoxin's happy look. He didn't know what came to his mind, and his face suddenly turned red.
"Well, it's quite fun!"
He also nodded.
Looking at the looks of the two of them, the guilt in Mrs. Xiao's heart was somewhat relieved.
“At the beginning of the year, my body had accumulated a lot of toxins due to long-term medication, and it was no longer sustainable.
After taking Wangfenghe, my condition began to gradually improve.
After so many years, I never thought that I would get better, let alone see Mu'er again. "The lady sighed.
Xiao Mu was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
"When you left so resolutely, I thought you didn't want to see me," he said.
Mrs. Xiao was stunned when she heard Xiao Mu's words.
What happened back then...she was indeed too impulsive.
If she hadn't insisted on getting angry with Xiao Mu's father, things wouldn't have turned out the way they did later.
It was just that I was so angry at that time that I forgot to consider the child's feelings.
In the few years after she left the palace, she was almost in a coma all year round.
It was the senior fellow students who fed her bowl after bowl of medicine and saved her life.
Occasionally when she is awake, she will think of her young son.
The senior brothers said that he was living a good life in the palace, which made her feel more at ease.
It's just that she didn't know how long she fell asleep again. When she woke up again, Yu Xiaoyao suddenly told her that something happened to the child.
A fire burned down the entire Xiyuan, but it was the senior brothers and others who took action to save the child.
At that time, she had too much time to take care of herself, and the child's grandfather and grandmother had both passed away, so she really had no one to trust.
In addition, there was hatred in her heart that King Cheng had failed her and their son, so she begged her senior brother to find a reliable person to entrust her child to.
Let him stay away from the capital. He will never come back again, and no one from the palace will find him.
In this way, Xiao Mu was sent to Qingshan Village.
In fact, Yu Xiaoyao sent him to Qingshan Village that year precisely because there was a wind-watching lotus there.
With Wangfenghe, he could guard the medicinal materials and wait for them to grow up, and he could also take care of Xiao Mu and teach him how to read and learn martial arts.
There happened to be a guard who was familiar with Xiao Changhe, so he entrusted the child to Xiao Changhe.
This thing sounds like a coincidence, but if you look at it in detail, it seems that everything is destined.
The atmosphere was a little tense for a while, and Mrs. Xiao said: "It's a rare occasion for you to come here. I've asked the small kitchen to prepare dishes. We'll eat here at noon, okay?"
She looked at the two of them expectantly, fearing that they would refuse.
Ye Luoxin said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, where is the kitchen? Do you want me to help?"
The atmosphere in this room is really weird.
She has already used all the means at her disposal, and she really doesn't want to get involved anymore.
Mrs. Xiao said: "I am here now, how can I use you to do anything? It's just that I have been a vegetarian these years, can you get used to it?"
"Yes!" Ye Luoxin agreed again.
"Is it because Madam is a vegetarian because she has been living next to the nunnery?" she asked.
Mrs. Xiao shook her head.
“I specifically found this place to live because I like to eat vegetarian food!” she said. “The vegetarian food in Zhaoyue An is very delicious. Sometimes I don’t know what to eat, so I ask Ma Zhang to buy some food from the nunnery. Here’s a dish to eat.”
I see!
Ye Luoxin suddenly realized.
Mrs. Xiao looked calm, but she was very particular about food. Even when looking for a place to live, she had to find a place close to the cafeteria.
"Will Madam consider going down the mountain to live in the future?" Ye Luoxin asked again.
This question is very vague.
The Marquis was very concerned yesterday about whether King Cheng and Mrs. Xiao could reconcile.
In fact, Ye Luoxin also wanted to know.
Now that Xiao Mu is back, the knot in the hearts of King Cheng and Mrs. Xiao can be untangled.
If Mrs. Xiao is willing to go down the mountain to live, does it mean that there is still a chance for reconciliation between the two of them?
So, will she?
