Xiao Yurong looked at her daughter's playful expression, smiled and pinched her cheek, "General Song is a noble man and is the pillar of the country, so he is quite good."
Wen Jiaojiao said "Oh~" and then said: "I heard from Yuzhu that General Song helped my mother a lot during the two months when I was comatose. I must thank Uncle Song."
Xiao Yurong smiled when she heard that Wen Jiaojiao changed his name to Uncle Song, and her thoughts were swirling in her mind.
After so many years, she did not expect that Song Chuan had never married. After Beiyuan was settled, the border officers and soldiers returned to the capital one after another to receive titles. He invited himself to the southwest, and he has not returned to the capital in these years.
She occasionally heard her brothers talking about him having two sons, so she thought he was married in the southwest.
When he came back and asked, he found out that the two orphans he had picked up from the bandits' den were his adopted sons.
Now his two adopted sons are married, and he is still single.
So many years had passed, and the little flutter she had for Song Chuan had long since faded away with time, and now all that was left was emotion.
I lament that things have changed and people have changed. I lament that time is ruthless and consumes everything.
Although she has been married and divorced once, she has never devalued herself. It's just that she is already in her forties and does not have the time and energy to cater to Song Chuan's feelings for her.
A bright idea has occupied all her thoughts.
"Aunt..."
Wen Jiaojiao spoke out to break Xiao Yurong's thoughts. She stretched out her hand to hold Aniang's hand and said, "Aniang, Jiaojiao has grown up. Aniang has paid so much for Jiaojiao, so she should think about herself."
Xiao Yurong reached out and touched Wen Jiaojiao's cheek and said softly: "Jiaojiao is my mother's life. As long as I look after you, my mother will be happier than anything else. Nothing else matters."
Wen Jiaojiao was touched in her heart and leaned into her mother's arms. She also hoped that her mother could have a good ending. She was just worried that she would leave earlier than her mother. What would she do if she was the only mother?
Although she has come back to life, her health is still not good. She has lived in another world for more than twenty years. It is difficult even for modern medicine to treat heart disease, let alone in ancient times.
Maybe there would be a miracle, after all, she was even reborn, but she didn't dare to bet.
She has earned every moment now, and she doesn't know when she will die, so she cherishes it very much. The only thing she could not let go of in her previous life was her mother-in-law, sister, and the others. Only by looking after them well can she feel at ease.
Xiao Yurong stroked Wen Jiaojiao's hair and said, "Jiaojiao, be good. Jiaojiao doesn't have to worry about my mother's affairs. The important thing now is to cure Jiaojiao's disease. From now on, Jiaojiao can do whatever he wants."
Wen Jiaojiao grabbed Xiao Yurong's hand, felt the warmth of Aniang's arms, and sighed: "Aniang, it's great to be back."
Xiao Yurong hugged Wen Jiaojiao, feeling extremely satisfied. She could see that Jiaojiao was well and she had nothing else to ask for.
At night, Wen Jiaojiao had just finished taking the medicine and was wrinkling his face in pain when Que Wu's head poked in from the window.
Wen Jiaojiao was drinking sugar water and almost choked when she saw him suddenly appear.
Que Wu grinned at Wen Jiaojiao, leaned by the window, opened a small box and handed it to her.
Wen Jiaojiao looked at the colorful round objects in the box and said in surprise: "Is this...sugar?"
Que Wu: "Well, I bought it from a merchant in Lanchu. I'll try it to see if it tastes good."
Wen Jiaojiao chose a red one and put it in his mouth, chewed it twice and said, "It tastes like pomegranate."
Picking up another orange one, "Well, this one is orange flavored."
Que Wu stretched out his long arm, picked up a cyan one and handed it to her lips, "Try this."
Wen Jiaojiao ate it without thinking. In that second, she spat out the candy and wanted to roll on the couch with soreness.
Damn it, Que Wu, I declare that you will lose me for three seconds!
Wen Jiaojiao looked at Que Wu with a bright smile, grabbed his hand and bit it. Que Wu stretched out his hand and let her bite him, and looked at her with a doting look on his face.
Wen Jiaojiao was furious, so she took the remaining green candies and stuffed them into his mouth, which made you sour.
Que Wu ate all the candies, and his expression didn't look sour at all.
Wen Jiaojiao was speechless and choked, Que Wu could actually eat sour food so well.
"Don't you feel sore?"
Que Wu: "It's okay. It's still quite sweet after eating."
Wen Jiaojiao:...Okay.
Looking at Wen Jiaojiao's depressed expression, Que Wu smiled and said, "Little Moon, do you want to go out to play?"
It was still early now, so she could go out. She had been bored in the yard for the past few days, drinking strange-tasting medicine every day, and she wanted to go out for some fresh air.
In the past, she always wanted to be a salty fish, but she found that she had been a salty fish for several lifetimes, and she still longed for the outside world.
Wen Jiaojiao looked at Yuzhu and Fengxin in her room. Aniang would not come over at this time, but because of her health, Aniang asked Yuzhu and Fengxin to leave one of them in her room with her.
Sleep together.
Wen Jiaojiao saw that Que Wu was about to enter the house to get her. She quickly stopped his movement, got down from the couch, and said to Yuzhu: "That Yuzhu..."
Yuzhu was ironing Wen Jiaojiao's clothes when he heard her voice and looked up, "Miss?"
Somehow, Wen Jiaojiao felt a little guilty about going out with Que Wu at night, but she thought that everything between her and Que Wu was an open secret. Que Wu's betrothal gift had been sent to her, so it was just a formality.
.
"Miss, you want to go out for a tryst with your uncle." Feng Xin said.
Wen Jiaojiao:...It has to be your Fengxin.
Yuzhu smiled and said: "Miss, go ahead. It's still early. We can rest assured that my uncle is here."
Yuzhu thought for a moment and followed Feng Xin by calling him Quewu Guye. After this, he posted a message to the young lady. It was already a certainty that the two would get married.
Wen Jiaojiao's ears were burned by the call from the two of them. Que Wu leaned against the door and listened to the uncle's voice. He was already happy. When Yuzhu and the others dressed Wen Jiaojiao and sent her out, Que Wu said
Yuzhu and Fengxin each have a shining gem.
"Thank you, uncle!" the two shouted louder.
Wen Jiaojiao looked at her two maids and was bribed.
Feng Xin opened the door and said to Wen Jiaojiao with a smile: "Miss, have fun, it doesn't matter if you come back later, I will cover it with you! Madam will definitely not find it!"
Que Wu stretched out his hand to Wen Jiaojiao, "Let's go, little moon."
Wen Jiaojiao looked at this hand for a while, thinking of the first time he reached out to her, raised the corners of his mouth and put his hand on his palm.
Que Wu held her hand and led her outside the hospital.
Coming out of the yard, Que Wu looked at Wen's bright eyes and looked at the corner, and said with a smile: "Climb the wall and get out?"
Wen Jiaojiao: "...It's not impossible."
Que Wu hugged Wen Jiaojiao's waist, swung his whip and entangled the trees outside, and took Wen Jiaojiao over the wall with him in a few jumps.
This move was skillful, as if he had scaled her courtyard wall countless times.
Wen Jiaojiao looked at her courtyard wall and then at Que Wu. His nose felt sore. He had climbed over her courtyard wall many times.
As soon as Que Wu and Wen Jiaojiao landed, the Xiao family's soldiers patrolled in front of them.
"Miss, uncle." The leading soldier nodded to Wen Jiaojiao, and then continued to patrol as if he hadn't seen him.
Wen Jiaojiao touched her nose in embarrassment. She looked up at Que Wu and asked, "Have you bribed everyone in the Xiao family?"
Que Wu: "There is no need to bribe them, Little Moon. I have hired you according to Beiyuan's gift."
Que Wu's implication was that sooner or later she would be his, and the entire Xiao Mansion acquiesced.
Wen Jiaojiao looked at his smiling eyes and said, "Then...it's better to go through the main door from now on."
She felt a little guilty for climbing over the wall.
Que Wu led her toward the street. The night in early spring was still very cold, but it was slightly better than winter. It had been raining for the past two days, adding a bit of moisture to the dry and cold air in Beiyuan.
Que Wu was still wearing thin clothes, but he added a coat, and the collar was still open in a coquettish way.
Que Wu felt Wen Jiao Jiao's eyes looking at her, and Wen Jiao Jiao immediately lowered his eyes subconsciously, just like he did when he first met Que Wu.
