The cold wind became more and more biting, and the blowing snowflakes were like knives, causing pain on the face.
The disciples guarding the sect felt a little unbearable when they saw Ruan Mu standing at the gate with a blank expression, looking motionless in the distance.
"Mrs. Ruan, the wind and snow are biting outside. Why don't you go back and wait? When the senior brother returns, I will inform you immediately."
She has been standing here for several hours, and her body may not be able to bear it.
Ruan's mother shook her head and kept looking at the door without saying a word.
She wants to wait for Shao'er to come back.
She didn't know how long it had been before she heard the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer. A glimmer of light flashed in Ruan's mother's eyes. She moved her stiff body and ran towards the door.
"Mrs. Ruan, where are you going?" The disciple outside the door shouted worriedly.
Ruan's mother looked at the approaching horse, staring closely at the purple figure on the horse. Her lips trembled slightly and her voice was hoarse: "Shao'er——"
"Mother..." Yun Shao saw Ruan's mother from a distance and shouted with sobs.
Shen Moyao looked at Yun Shao who couldn't wait, got off his horse and gently picked her up.
Before Yun Shao could stand still, Ruan's mother ran over and hugged her tightly. Tears overflowed from her eyes unconsciously, and her cheek was pressed against her cold face. Her voice was choked and hoarse: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back... …”
"Oh... I'm sorry, mother, I made you worry."
Ruan's mother let go of Yun Shao and saw the solidified knife wound on her neck. She touched it with trembling fingers. With distress in her eyes, she stretched out her hand to brush away the hair stuck to her cheek.
Yun Shao looked at Ruan's mother, whose eyes were full of hatred, and hugged her tightly: "Mom, don't be afraid, Shao'er is back." Yun Shao comforted her.
"My poor Shao'er..."
There were tears in the corners of Ruan's mother's eyes.
Shen Moyao looked at Ruan's mother with distress in his eyes: "Auntie, take Shao Shao away from here first. It's windy outside and I'm afraid her body won't be able to bear it."
She was outside for several hours and kept coughing on the way back, which made him a little worried.
"Okay, I'll take Shao'er away right now."
"Mother, I..."
After seeing his relatives, Yun Shao's tight nerves suddenly relaxed. He felt that his sore throat was dry and aching, and his body became numb due to the cold and almost lost consciousness.
She looked at Ruan's mother with blurred eyes, her lips moved slightly, and then she lost consciousness.
"Shao'er——"
"Shao Shao——"
Shen Moyao and Ruan's mother were horrified and shouted in unison.
……………
"Auntie, you haven't slept a wink for two days and one night. I'll take care of you here in Shaoyao. You should go and rest first. If you continue like this, your body may not be able to bear it."
Ruan's mother sat beside Shao Shao's bed and checked her pulse again. She felt relieved when she saw that her daughter had improved.
After hearing Shen Moyao's words, he turned his head and looked at him steadily, with complicated eyes, and after a moment, he said in a slightly hoarse voice.
"Shao Shao is fine now, let's talk!" He stood up and left Yun Shao's room.
Shen Moyao glanced back at Yun Shao, then left and gently closed the door.
In the hall.
Ruan's mother raised her eyes and glanced at him.
"Sit down and talk!"
Hearing this, Shen Moyao sat on a chair nearby.
Then I heard Mother Ruan's cold tone, words that seemed like memories.
"...Actually, I have always had a grudge against you in my heart. Even though I know it was not your intention, I can't accept the news of my husband's death. I often think that it would have been better if our family had never met you. , then we will live a normal and stable life as before. Shaoer will not be hated by Li Nian because of you, let alone encounter danger or be kidnapped. She will find happiness by my husband and me. My husband, spend the rest of your life happily and without worries."
Sometimes she would feel it was unfair, why was it his husband who died instead of someone else?
When she dreamed back at midnight, she even regretted why she had softened her heart, why she had not persisted, and why she had agreed to let her husband go down the mountain to help Yunxuzong.
With a bitter smile on her face, she recalled that when the two first met, this handsome and elegant man was chased by some refugees in an awkward manner. He had a calm face and a cheerful smile, and always maintained goodwill towards others in his heart. He was serious. He told her his pursuit with a clear light in his eyes.
She still can't forget the scene at that time, and she can't forget what he gave up for herself and her daughter.
If it happened again, she might still be unable to refuse his request, because she loved such a chivalrous man.
When Shen Moyao heard Ruan's mother's hateful words, his heart trembled, his face turned pale, and his dark eyes showed guilt and fear. His body stiffened and he didn't speak for a long time. For a moment, his voice was hoarse.
"Aunt, I'm sorry. I understand it's too late to say anything now. You deserve to hate me. I won't defend myself."
The day Uncle Gu died was also his nightmare. He knew how much Uncle Gu couldn't let go of his aunt and Shao Shao. It was right for them to hate him.
But he didn't want to give up Yun Shao. He would rather his aunt stabbed him with a sword to vent her anger than hear her tell him to give up Shao Shao.
This is more painful than tearing out his heart! !
Ruan's mother looked calm: "I don't need your apology."
Now that the matter has come to this, nothing can be said to help. If it weren't for her daughter, she wouldn't have said these words today.
"When something happened to Shao'er, I realized how powerless and insignificant I was. You are actually quite right. Today is different from the past. Her husband died and Shao'er lost her blessing. She really needs to marry someone who can protect her for the rest of her life. As a man, you are indeed more outstanding, but this does not mean that I trust you and can entrust my daughter to you wholeheartedly!"
"How can I be an aunt so that she is willing to believe that I truly love Shao Shao?"
"It's very simple. I want you to plant the love Gu. Are you willing?" Ruan's mother stared at him closely, with scrutiny in her eyes.
"Will this matter affect Shao Shao?" Shen Moyao's eyes were serious.
"Of course not."
"Well, I am willing and willing to do so."
"You have to think carefully. Once the Love Gu is planted, if you have second thoughts in the future, your life will be worse than death."
"Well, I know that and I have absolutely no regrets."
"Okay." Ruan's mother had satisfaction in her eyes.
She took out the Gu worm from the room, came to Shen Moyao, opened his arm and put the love Gu in it.
Shen Moyao watched the Gu worm slowly enter his body, with joy in his eyes, and looked up at Ruan's mother.
"Thank you, Auntie Chengcheng. I won't let Shao Shao be wronged. I will handle Li Nian's matter well."
Ruan's mother nodded, and the two of them had a tacit understanding that they did not intend to tell Yun Shao about today's incident.
……………
It was already a few days later when Yun Shao woke up. She opened her eyes and looked at the familiar room, feeling a little dazed.
She kept coughing a few times, feeling the unpleasant taste of medicine in her mouth, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Shao Shao, you wake up!"
Shen Moyao, who was guarding the bedside, heard the movement and looked at Yun Shao excitedly, then raised his hand and gently touched her forehead.
Immediately relieved.
Yun Shao turned to look at Shen Moyao, feeling the bitterness and dryness in his throat, and subconsciously shouted: "Water..."
"Just wait, I'll pour it for you right away."
With that said, Shen Moyao hurriedly went to the table to pour a cup of warm tea, then gently lifted Yun Shao up, leaned on his shoulder, and carefully held the teacup and handed it to her mouth.
"Come, Shao Shao, drink some water."
He handed the warm tea to her mouth and watched her sipping it in small sips. A stone fell to her heart, and she only breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
Yun Shao drank it all in one gulp, and Shen Moyao's eyes were filled with tenderness: "Is it enough? Do you want some more?"
She had been having a fever since she came back and had been comatose for three days, which frightened him and Aunt Ruan. Fortunately, Aunt Ruan had superb medical skills and she was still here when he came. He was worried that Aunt Ruan would not wake up in the morning. She fell down first and asked her to rest first.
Yun Shao, who was leaning on his shoulder, twitched his eyelashes slightly and looked up at him: "Yes, I want to drink."
When Shen Moyao heard this, his heart softened.
"Okay, you wait." Shen Moyao gently put her on the bed.
After Yun Shao finished a drink, she calmed down a little and gained energy. She leaned on his shoulder and looked up at him with worry in her eyes.
"Mo Yao, has your wound been bandaged?"
"Well, it's been bandaged up, it's nothing serious."
Shen Moyao hugged her, held her in his arms and explained softly.
"You were in a coma for three days, which scared my aunt and I."
"Have I been asleep for so long?" Yun Shao asked in surprise.
"Well, the matter has been resolved. Shao Shao no longer has to worry about anyone hurting you."
Yun Shao's clear eyes were filled with doubts.
Shen Moyao kissed her forehead and explained: "Li Nian was indeed the instigator of all this. She was involved with the remnants of Wujue Palace, and the master was furious."
"Do you still remember those people who were captured? One of them had Li Nian's badge on him, and he had both the stolen goods and the stolen goods. She was not allowed to quibble."
Shen Moyao remembered what those remnants said about Li Nian asking them to deal with Shao Shao, and his eyes were filled with coldness.
Naturally, those people would not be biased and scrupulous about Li Nian, and they would naturally reveal everything she had done. Li Nian originally wanted to find the gangsters at the foot of the mountain to bully Shao Shao, causing Shao Shao to suffer humiliation and commit suicide, but he did not expect to be killed by Wu Jue Palace. After discovering it, he approached her to cooperate with her, and she agreed. In order to satisfy her own selfish desires, she ignored the blood feud between the sect and Wujue Palace, so she deserved to end up like this.
Thinking about those sect disciples who were brutally murdered by Wu Jue Gong, Li Nianwan could not escape the blame for his death.
The other elders were very disappointed with the current consequences of Elder Li's connivance with Li Nian, and they felt even more guilty for Gu Yanli, who died for the sect. Seeing that the innocent Yun Shao was inexplicably targeted by Li Nian, no one would Please plead for Li Nian.
"The other four elders and the leader finally unanimously decided to deprive Elder Li of his status as an elder because of his ignorance, while Li Nian abolished his martial arts and expelled Yunxu Sect. Finally, Elder Li took Li Nian and left the sect. .”
However, Shen Moyao didn't tell Yun Shao. When Li Nian heard that Shao Shao was safe and sound, he looked at her with ferocious eyes and screamed in collapse in the hall. His expression showed a disgusting possessiveness towards him and a hatred towards Shao Shao with gnashing of teeth. , this also made him murderous, and Li Nian couldn't stay, but Shao Shao didn't need to know this.
He was not satisfied with the treatment made by the sect, but it was okay, Aunt Ruan said that this would give her a chance to personally avenge Shao Shao.
He knew that Aunt Ruan would not let Li Nian go so easily. The heart-eating poison she gave her would become more frequent, which would only make Li Nian's life worse than death, until his heart was eaten away by the poisonous insects.
Later, the aunt also secretly poisoned Elder Li, which was a kind of poison that silently ate away the vitality.
He knew about this and helped secretly. He was afraid that Elder Li would find out about Ruan's mother. After all, Elder Li was quite skilled, so Aunt Ruan successfully poisoned Elder Li.
After this experience, he felt that it was because he felt that Li Nian had nothing to fear that put Shao Shao in deep danger. He now agreed with Ruan's mother's concerns and acted first to avoid future troubles.
After all, no one can guarantee that Elder Li will not hold a grudge and avenge Li Nian later.
Yun Shao remained silent. It turned out that so many things had happened during the past few days when she was sleeping.
Shen Moyao held Yun Shao's hand and looked at her deeply, with settled joy and satisfaction in his eyes.
"Shao Shao, how about we get engaged when you get better?"
Shen Moyao was glad that he acted quickly. Otherwise, Shao Shao might marry another man. He felt that if this was the case, he might not be able to help but kill the man, snatch Shao Shao back, and hide it in a place where no one can find it. place.
Shen Moyao's burning eyes stared at her delicate face. When Yun Shao heard this, his cheeks turned red, but he raised his head and looked straight at him.
"Um."
The corners of Shen Moyao's lips raised, and he couldn't help but put his hand on her face, caressing her gently. Yun Shao raised her hand to cover his big, well-joined hand, with lingering love in her eyes.
Yun Shao's appearance at this time made him fascinated, with a satisfied sigh.
"Shaoshao, you are finally mine."
*
Elder Meng returned to the sect with good news, adding a bit of vitality to the sect.
Under the careful care of Elder Meng, the leader's health improved, and it was for the engagement of his disciples Shen Moyao and Yun Shao.
He died half a year later, and Shen Moyao became the leader.
……………
Three years later, in early autumn.
"We, Shao'er, are all going to get married in the blink of an eye."
Yun Shao is dressed in red, with her hair in a bridal bun, with cinnabar dotted between her brows, her brows looking forward, delicate and charming.
"It's a pity that your father can't see it anymore. He has fantasized about this scene so many times before, and now..."
"Mother..."
Yun Shao leaned on Ruan's mother's shoulder, her voice choked with sobs.
"Okay, today is your big day, so say something happy." Ruan's mother's eyes were a little moist, and she patted Yun Shao's back gently.
"Remember, no matter when my mother is always by your side, she will always be your support. Don't wrong yourself." Ruan's mother gently wiped her tears for her.
"Yeah, I remember."
Wen Ling knocked on the door: "Junior sister, are you ready?"
Elder Meng met Yun Shao in the medicine hall a year ago. He fell in love with talents and accepted Yun Shao as his disciple to teach him medical skills.
Therefore, no one has any other disputes about Yun Shao marrying Shen Moyao, who is now the head of the family.
Ruan's mother covered Yun Shao with a handkerchief and helped her out.
The Yunxu Sect was particularly lively today. They were blowing and playing all the way, and the faces of the disciples were filled with bright smiles. The leader finally married the girl Yun Shao. It was really not easy for them in these years.
On the steps of the main hall, Shen Moyao was dressed in red, with his hair tied up. His figure was tall and straight, and his sharp-edged silhouette showed coldness.
Seeing the approaching sedan chair, her eyebrows instantly softened and her eyes were bright.
He walked toward the sedan with steps, came to the sedan, and stretched out his arms.
"Shaoshao, I'm here to pick you up."
Yun Shao walked out of the sedan chair, raised her jade hand and placed it on his palm, with a smile on her lips, and the two of them walked towards the steps of the high platform together.
Witnessed by the elders and disciples of the sect, they went to the church to get married.
Under the high platform, Xu Xiaoling saw this scene with a bitter smile on his lips.
She became someone else's bride and had nothing to do with him for the rest of her life.
Xu Xuan, who was standing next to him, glanced at his son out of the corner of his eye, looking like he hated iron.
He is really stubborn. In the past three years, if he had been more proactive, he would not have had this result.
You have to look forward and backward in doing things, and it’s okay. The ripe fruit has been picked by others, and now you are sad. It’s useless!
If he has the ability to steal a bride, will I not help him? Look at Mo Yao, his nephew, he looks serious, he looks like a calm and ascetic gentleman, oh, when he meets the person he likes, he will act vigorously and resolutely.
Look at his wilted son, oh, it's such a shame for him. His deeds are still vividly remembered in Jinling in order to marry his mother.
"Snapped!"
"Dad, why did I offend you again?" Xu Xuan looked at his old father angrily.
Elder Xu: "What's that look in your eyes?"
"What's wrong with me?"
"Look at you, you don't look like a father. You don't care about comforting Xiao Ling. You are still looking at the joke. Why are you secretly glaring at him!"
"I, how can I..."
"I have wronged you. Look at your virtue. Get out of here and don't stand here in my eyes."
Xu Xuan: "…………"
Feeling a little aggrieved for no reason.
…………
Wedding night.
Shen Moyao, who was avenged by Xu Xiaoling and his son, was a little drunk and was helped back to the room with drowsy eyes.
Returning to the room, he raised his hand to let the others leave. Looking at Shao Shao who was sitting on the bed, Shen Moyao came to the bed and lifted her hijab.
He looked at the charming and radiant woman in front of him in amazement.
"Shao Shao, you are so beautiful."
Yun Shao felt a little uncomfortable when he saw him, and lowered his head shyly, exposing his slender neck.
"Would you like something to eat?"
Yun Shao raised her eyes and shook her head. Senior Sister Wen Ling secretly prepared food for her.
Shen Moyao sat down next to her. Yun Shao smelled the strong smell of alcohol on his body and wrinkled her nose slightly.
"How much wine have you drunk?"
Seeing Yun Shao pouting with disgust in his eyes, Shen Moyao chuckled.
"I'll have someone prepare hot water. Please wait for me for a moment."
Shen Moyao opened the door and asked the female disciple to help take off Yun Shao's makeup.
When Yun Shao came out wearing light underwear after bathing, he saw Shen Moyao waiting there.
Seeing Yun Shao coming out, Shen Moyao chased her figure with hot eyes.
Watch her calmly wipe her hair and stand up.
"Shaoshao, let me help you."
Use your inner strength to quickly dry her damp hair.
Yun Shao: “…………”
"Okay, we haven't drank the Henu wine yet."
He came to the table and poured two glasses, and handed them to Yun Shao with eager eyes.
Yun Shao took it and took a small sip, feeling a burning pain on the tip of her tongue. She stuck out her tongue in discomfort and breathed slightly. Shen Moyao looked at her opening and closing lips, his eyes dark and dark.
"Shaoshao, let me teach you how to drink."
He drank the wine in the glass, and then covered Yun Shao's delicate lips. Their lips and teeth were connected. Yun Shao murmured softly and beat his chest delicately.
Shen Moyao chuckled lightly and took advantage of the situation to hold her pink fist, no longer restraining his desire.
In the shadowy curtain, there was violent shaking, and from time to time, a charming low gasp could be heard, with an annoying sound, and a suppressed magnetic comfort sound, and then turned into a soft sob.
The red candles swayed, and the chirping of kingfishers came from the window, and the long-lasting sound calmed down.
Another beautiful sunny day!
