Chang Lan was silent for a while, and then squeezed Shen Shu's hand tightly, as if to give Shen Shu confidence, but more like giving herself confidence, "It will be in there."
Shen Shu looked at the white snow in front of her and said "hmm".
Shen Shu pursed her lips again, "Changning is the prince's son, will he abuse him?"
At this time, Chang Lan didn't know how to respond.
On the day of the palace turmoil, the prince completely disappeared after escaping from the secret passage. Shen Xiao sent people to look for him for a long time but could not find him, so he could only let this hidden danger continue to be buried.
Shen Shu didn't hear the response and was in a daze. After lowering her eyes and looking at Bai Xue for a long time, she suddenly said, "If Chang Ning abuses him, we will take him back."
This mountain road was too difficult to walk. Shen Shu was still pregnant with her child. After walking for only half an hour, she couldn't bear it anymore. She leaned against a tree and retched.
She was more than five months pregnant, and her morning sickness was only worse than when it first started. She vomited every day to the point where even Chang Lan felt distressed. After she finished vomiting, he insisted on carrying her up the mountain.
Shen Shu leaned her head in Chang Lan's arms, listening to the crunching sound of her feet on the snow, and spoke emphatically again, "We will definitely find Ah Zhi."
"I am his wife and I want to take him home."
…
There is no wind today.
Lin Zhi suddenly yelled at Guan Changning for pen and paper. Chang Ning couldn't bear the disturbance and went down the mountain all night to find pen and paper for him.
So he sat down at the table seriously and began to write.
His calligraphy has always been beautiful, with his strokes running like dragons and snakes, and his iron drawings and silver hooks. An An was stunned and kept staring at him.
When he finished writing, he folded the word, looked around, put it under his pillow, then suddenly stood up and left the room.
There were no white plum blossoms in this deep mountain, and he had no scenery to see, so——
He lowered his eyes and watched for a long time as the little girl beside him rolled the snowballs into small balls, then placed them in order on the snow in front of him. He watched them all morning.
It wasn't until the little girl's hands were turned red from the cold that she stood up, walked to him, and tugged on the corner of his clothes.
She had just played in the snow for a long time, and her hands were covered with water stains caused by the melting of the ice and snow due to her body temperature. So when she pulled the corners of Lin Zhi's clothes, the water stains naturally rubbed onto Lin Zhi's clothes.
He was not angry, he just knelt down, took a handkerchief, and wiped the little girl's water-stained hands.
Chang Ning has little patience, and it was only because An An always pestered him pitifully that he felt compassion and brought her here.
Before Lin Zhi woke up, he was still in charge of the little girl. After Lin Zhi woke up, he directly handed her over to Lin Zhi to take care of her.
The little girl blinked and saw that the water stains on her hands were clean, and tugged on his sleeves again, "Brother...it's cold...come in the house..."
Lin Zhi lowered his eyes and looked at the little girl with a milky voice, "You go in first."
After An An tilted her head and thought for a moment, she finally understood what he said and staggered into the house.
At this moment, the wind started blowing on the mountain.
He frowned and was about to enter the room when he suddenly saw another color different from white appearing in the distance.
At the same time, Shen Shu was let down by Chang Lan.
The snow on the ground was very deep. She was supported by Chang Lan. She lowered her head and paid attention to her feet, and walked forward one foot deeper and one foot shallower.
A gust of wind blew by, blowing the hair on her head into her eyes, blocking her sight, so she raised her head and tried to rearrange them behind her ears with her hands.
Just when she raised her eyes, she saw a small person standing in front of her.
Although the man was so small that she couldn't see his face clearly, she still had an intuition that he was the person she was looking for.
She wanted to run over, but the snow under her feet was too thick, so she stood still and suddenly opened her mouth to shout, "Azhi!"
Sure enough, the man turned back to look at her.
Her eyes suddenly became wet, and she wanted to walk towards him, but she could no longer move.
On the way to meet him, she had already taken ninety-nine steps toward him.
At the last step, she suddenly didn't want to leave by herself.
So she stood in the warm sun, just like she had during those days and nights when the two of them cuddled up against each other last winter, and reached out to him expectantly.
"Azhi, come and pick me up."
The next moment, Lin Zhi suddenly rushed over and held her in his arms.
Shen Shu hugged his back tightly, buried her face in his arms, and spoke to him in a crying voice——
"Azhi, I'm pregnant——"
"Azhi, I'll take you home -"
Lin Zhi's suppressed emotions finally broke out at this moment, and he said "good" to Shen Shu piously.
At this moment, An An, who was inside the house, heard the noise outside and suddenly ran out staggeringly. The snow was too thick and she was small. She fell several times and was covered in snow before she came to the two of them.
After looking for a while, she recognized who the person in front of her was, and suddenly stretched out her hand, "Sister, hug...hug..."
Shen Shu was still in Lin Zhi's arms. She raised her hands to push him away, but he held her tighter.
She said angrily, "Azhi, there are children with you."
He then reluctantly let her go, and Shen Shu knelt down to shake the falling snow off her body to the ground, and then held her in his arms.
An An immediately burst out laughing.
She then stood up and said to An An, "It's very windy outside, shall we go inside first?"
An An nodded.
She led a group of people towards the hut, but unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the house, she saw Chang Ning who was still making a fire to cook.
The piece of paper that started the fire was a little wet. He tried hard to make the fire for a long time but couldn't make it. His expression became increasingly irritable. When he saw outsiders coming, he returned to his former calm demeanor. He stood up slowly and gracefully stroked the scars from his white clothes. Stains.
Chang Sheng, who was following behind him, saw Chang Ning as if he had seen his mortal enemy, and was about to rush forward and kill him.
However, he still failed to rush forward after all, because Lin Zhi then introduced to Shen Shu, "He is my uncle, Lu Shifei."
Chang Sheng was stunned, and then looked at Chang Ning in disbelief.
He worked hard to collect evidence, risked death and followed Chang Ning for so long, and then worked hard to find Chang Ning for so long.
This Chang Ning is actually a good person?
He absolutely cannot accept it!
Chang Ning just raised his eyes to admire Chang Sheng's face that already doubted his life.
Tsk, as expected, little trash is still little trash.
…
The next day, Shen Shu and Lin Zhi went down the mountain together, while Changning and An An continued to stay on the mountain.
He did not go to see Lin Zhi off, but happily went to clean the bed where Lin Zhi had slept.
An An asked curiously, "Why is brother so happy?"
"Because he is finally gone, I don't have to pave the floor anymore."
Changning said as he went to get the pillow, and then he saw the paper Lin Zhi had hidden inside.
He pursed his lips, picked up the paper, and slowly unfolded it.
Then I saw what was written above——
Time flies by and seems to have stopped.
Suffering in life is the result of God's kindness. It is only through accumulation that I can have a short love story with you.
He made a "tsk" sound, then waved the letter paper in his hand towards An An, chuckled and said, "Look at it, does it look like the paper I will use to start a fire later?"
An An thought for a moment before nodding towards him in confusion.
…
In the carriage, he kept stroking Shen Shu's belly and refused to let go for a moment.
Shen Shu looked at his face, which had been tortured to the point of becoming thin and almost disfigured, and let him touch it. Then, she went to hold his hand.
Although the finger was so thin that it was almost skin and bone, she still clenched it tightly. "I have never given birth to a child. I heard that giving birth is very painful and dangerous."
Lin Zhi lowered his eyes, kissed her bulging belly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't be afraid."
"I delivered the baby myself."
Shen Shu smiled and stretched out her hand to hug his neck, "That's great."
"Our child will be born in the spring."
Lin Zhi imagined the scene of the child being born and said "hmm".
They got to know each other in the coldest and depressing winter, and blossomed and bore fruit in the warm spring.
Shen Shu thought for a moment and then spoke again, "These days, the prince ran away and Xiaoer became the emperor."
"All the flowers I planted have failed, but I collected the flower seeds so that we can plant them again in the spring."
Lin Zhi looked at her peaceful face and said, "Okay."
A month later, Jing Ning celebrated his birthday, and Shen Shu and Lin Zhi were invited to celebrate his father's birthday.
Lin Zhi sent over a whole box of congratulatory gifts, which shocked everyone in Jingninghou Mansion.
At the birthday banquet, Jing Ninghou was very happy. He had returned to his former high-spirited state and no longer looked like the down-and-out old minister that Shen Shu had looked like when she first saw him.
Shen Shu was pregnant and couldn't bear it after sitting for a while. She got up secretly and went out with Lin Zhi to get some fresh air.
In early spring, when the ice and snow melted, she carefully walked around the mud on the ground and followed Lin Zhi.
As she walked, Shen Shu glanced at her room and remembered how Lin Zhi had teased her mother so wildly when she knocked on the door. She suddenly became angry and ignored him, just walking forward.
Unexpectedly, a noble young man suddenly walked up to her. She and the noble young man accidentally looked at each other. Just one glance made the other person's face start to turn red. He saluted her and then hurried away.
Shen Shu felt that this man's face seemed familiar, so after he left, she couldn't help but look back at him for a long time.
Before I knew it, I had reached the back of the rockery.
She was still sulking with Lin Zhi, but the other party had already taken the initiative to go up to her.
Shen Shu was emotionally unstable during pregnancy and always had a temper from time to time. Lin Zhi never bothered her and patiently calmed her down every time.
Just as she was about to reach out and push him away, she heard him suddenly caressing her pregnant belly and said, "I'll give you my life."
"Can you be good and don't go see other people?"
Shen Shu's face suddenly turned red.
Then, when she raised her eyes, she saw in front of her that the maid who was walking to the banquet carrying drinks suddenly stopped and looked over curiously.
