The door of the room was closed from the outside, cutting off the excitement and noise outside.
Shen Que sat under the window, bathed in the sunshine, and his exquisite little face became whiter and whiter.
"You know it all."
Her eyes were dull and she looked calm, not angry or blaming.
Mutam walked over, bent down and squatted at her feet, and said, "I saw Zeelan ran to the medicine store several times in a state of despair, so I felt something was wrong, so I went over to ask."
He was like a child who had made a mistake, rubbing his hands on his pants: "I added that medicine. I don't understand pharmacology, so I randomly asked about some medicines that were incompatible with each other, thinking that I could dispel the effects of the medicine. Just fine, so...I...
Master, don't be angry, don't get so angry, I just don't want you to hurt yourself. "
He looked up at her with tears in his eyes.
Shen Que shook his head, smiled helplessly and said nothing.
"Master, this is a little life, she will have feelings." Mutam continued to persuade, "So what if she doesn't have a father? I, I can be her father."
The room suddenly became quiet, and a gust of cold wind blew in, making him shiver subconsciously.
The words were really abrupt, so I quickly changed my words and said, "I can be her uncle or uncle. I just ask you to keep her."
Shen Que asked him: "Her identity is doomed to a life of trouble and misfortune. Why do you insist on keeping her when you know she will be painful in the future?"
"Master." Amu was a little anxious, "Do you not want her because of her status? Or, Master wants to tell me that you have too many things you want to do and have no time to take care of her. Or maybe you are worried that she will Without father's love, one is unhappy and unhappy.
But in my opinion, these are not Master’s true words. "
He said very firmly, "I understand Master's heart. You are forcing yourself to let go of that person and the past, but you always remember him in your heart. You don't want this child related to him, and you want to cut off everything. .”
Shen Que's tears fell on the back of his hand. He pressed it gently and wiped it away: "But is it really possible to cut it off? Do I need to sacrifice a life to cut it off?"
She said nothing, looking past him toward the window.
He had to admit that he saw clearly that he was deceiving himself.
There are so many things to do that she has no time to take care of her children, and her embarrassing status and ill-fated fate are certainly one of the factors, but they are not the most important. They are all the words she uses to deceive and convince herself. Shen Que has always had them in her heart. Li Luansong, that is reluctance, unwillingness, or that he has not completely let go.
She had thought that maybe she would be able to let it go as time went by, but the child came again.
"Master." Mutam held her hand, "Why don't you give this child to me? I will treat her as my own. I will never let her go back to Daye, and I will never tell her who she is. Who, I'll take her with me. If you miss her in the future, come see her."
Shen Que was startled, is this really okay?
Putting your hand on your lower abdomen, you can feel that there is an innocent little life there.
Yes, this is a living life. She has not even seen the world and is about to be sent away by her mother-in-law. How pitiful and innocent she is.
"Master, please. You can't be sad and hurt your body now. It's going to snow again. It will cause problems if you give birth at this time. You still have a lot of things to do. If you hurt your body, it will not be good in the future."
Mutam said everything he could, and thought through all the reasons he could think of. He spoke so earnestly that his mouth went dry.
The sun outside the window rose higher, illuminating the whole room, forming a continuum of light and shadow, which also entangled and hesitated in Shen Que's heart.
She couldn't bear it.
"But……"
The door clicked open, and Liang Fan and Zelan fell in.
"Master, it's nothing."
Liang Fan blushed and said anxiously: "I didn't mean to listen to the crack in the door. I'm also worried about Master. Master, give me this child. My family likes children and they will definitely treat her as their own. And I don't know Whose child this is, and I can’t even tell her anything. I regard her as my biological brother and sister, and I can support her.”
Shen Que was amused by her: "Why have we become younger siblings?"
Liang Fan said that's right, "I am the master's apprentice, that is, the junior, then I am the younger brother and sister."
Mutam rolled his eyes speechlessly. This fool said he wanted to be with Shen Que for the rest of his life after drinking last night. It seemed that he really didn't understand.
"Madam." Zelan was crying and persuading, "Just listen to everyone and keep her. She is my mother's flesh and blood, a child of the Shen family. If you don't want her, she is so pitiful."
Zelan had almost shed tears in the past few days. Shen Que saw this in his eyes and stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears on her face and said: "I listen to others and eat enough. I will listen to you and keep her."
After saying this, I felt a sense of relief in my heart.
She hadn't had a good night's sleep in the past few days. Shen Que had a good sleep today, but she still had that dream. In the dream, the pink dumpling happily jumped towards her, nuzzling her in her arms and calling her "Aniang" , two chubby little hands held her face and groped and groped...
Finally, everyone was happy, and Shen Que was at ease enjoying the special care everyone gave her.
It was cold and freezing, and there was heavy snowfall, but wherever Shen Que went, it was as warm as spring.
Mutam and Liang Fan prepared a soft and thick quilt for her, bought the best golden charcoal, a hand stove and a cloak, and made the room soft and warm.
Various foods, snacks and fruits were also prepared, just in case she was hungry or thirsty.
Shen indeed loves spicy food, so Zelan thought of ways to cook delicious meals for her so that she could eat more.
Mutam brought milk tea, saying that milk is best for the baby, and asked her to drink more to replenish it.
There were also a steady stream of bird's nests, ginseng, and deer antlers delivered... Shen Que felt helpless when he saw it:
"If you have to make up for it like this, it will be bad for the child. Just eat and drink normally. Take them away."
The few people had no choice but to move away, and within two days the food was served again on the table.
Other than that, the three of them got together to discuss what to prepare for the little baby when they had nothing to do.
Zelan said: "I will prepare clothes, shoes and socks, and a bellyband. Although my embroidery skills are average, I will practice harder and buy the softest and most comfortable materials. I will serve my little master well."
"Do you know what patterns boys and girls embroider?" Liang Fan asked her.
This stopped Zelan from asking, and he patted his head and said, "Lady likes spicy food. She is probably a little lady, so she embroiders peonies, magpies, chickens and ducks. It's so cute."
Liang Fan nodded and said, "I also think it's a girl. Master, have you thought of a name?"
Shen Que said no, "It's still early, don't be in a hurry."
"Why aren't you in a hurry? You have to think of one quickly." Mutam became more energetic. "This doll is the child we finally kept. It's called Liuzi. How about Shen Liuzi."
Liang Fan pouted: "What Liuzi? It's too ugly. It's so ugly for a girl to call her Liuzi. Your Soto country is a bit culturally inferior, so it's better to give it a different name."
Shen Que thought about it and said with a smile: "I also think it's a girl, and Liuzi is pretty good. If I change one word, Zi Qi comes from the east, and Shen Liuzi is pretty good."
Zelan muttered "Shen Liu Zi" and clapped his hands: "Not bad, sounds good."
This is how Shen Liuzi's name was decided.
Several people were so busy that they even thought about what Shen Liuzi would learn in the future, such as books, four treasures of the study, archery, horseback riding, hunting... They just didn't want to learn to be a lady, and they didn't want to be a lady.
Mutam said that he would make Shen Liuzi the most lawless and free little lady in the world.
Shen Que was speechless: ...Don't create a disaster...
Ever since she decided to keep Shen Liuzi, everyone's conversations have revolved around her. She is busy and happy every day, which adds endless fun to this cold winter journey.
As everyone knows, on the other side, Shen Liuzi's father is still fighting bloody battles.
Li Luansong secretly rushed to the battlefield and had not left the capital for more than two years. Although there was a civil war, he was unable to use his kung fu freely, which made him feel very aggrieved.
The battle with Wala was a happy one. Within a few days, the enemy was subdued and retreated more than ten miles away without making any mistakes.
It was just that the weather was too cold, and the soldiers were somewhat unsuited to such a climate. The casualties were greater than expected, and Li Luansong did not dare to pursue rashly.
Although I was thinking about Shen Que in my heart and hoped to end the battle early to see her and take her back to Beijing, I still had to calm down and fight patiently in the war.
However, this battle allowed Li Luansong to completely regain his strength, and when he returned home, he suddenly realized that being locked up in the capital for more than two years had narrowed his mind and his horizons, and he was unable to reflect on himself. Now I realize that there are many things I have done that are too stubborn and biased.
This time when he saw Yuanyuan, he must apologize to her. Li Luansong had completely figured it out.
However, the departure of His Highness the Crown Prince made all the veterans anxious.
The people rushed to catch up, and when the battle report was sent back to the capital, the Chinese New Year was still half a month away. Everyone felt that it was great to finally be able to come back before the Chinese New Year.
But waiting and looking around, I couldn't see the shadow of Li Luansong.
After sending someone to inquire, they learned that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would continue to fight. His Highness said: "Wala is the best thief. He likes to carry out sneak attacks when people are not prepared. If we don't root out the enemy and drive him back to his hometown, there will be endless troubles."
The old ministers beat their chests and stamped their feet:
"What about Lian Zhan? Just say that once he goes out, he won't come back."
"If I had known this, I would have..."
"That's it, he ran away secretly, no one can stop him."
"When he comes back, this matter will definitely not be revealed lightly."
"I have another plan..."
