"Can you... just say that I am a woman like Mrs. Xi Si?"
Because of her resemblance, the fourth master wanted to marry her; because of her resemblance, the children considered her their mother.
But she is not.
In this way, maybe it won’t affect Yun Qiao, right?
"With this kind of relationship, even if you die, the people who should discuss it will still discuss it."
Yun Qiao said, "When we tell a lie, we need to use countless lies to cover it up. Are you tired?"
You and dad are a serious couple, why do you have to do this?"
Yun Qiao considers her, and she considers Yun Qiao.
Seeing her silence, Yun Qiao said again: "I don't really agree with your idea, it makes no sense.
The more secretive it is, the more curious it becomes."
These words convinced Du Xiaoqin.
"You're right, you don't need so many probing eyes."
she said.
Yun Qiao nodded.
She asked Du Xiaoqin again when she would be ready to repair her face herself.
Knowing that he was going back to his hometown, Yun Qiao deliberately used connections to get some anesthetics when he left Peiping.
She is sure to take anesthesia now and nothing will happen to Du Xiaoqin.
Du Xiaoqin said: "Tomorrow night, okay?"
Yun Qiao understood her thoughts.
Du Xiaoqin wanted to make sure that she was really accepted by her children and husband, no matter what she became.
If it was just a lie, there would be no point in her going back.
Yun Qiao said hello.
The next day, Du Xiaoqin took the children to go shopping in the mountains and nearby markets, and Mr. Xi was always with them. Some people in the market pointed at them, but because they were all nearby villagers, they turned around and said
He is a relative of my mother-in-law's family.
Granny Xiao is a well-known rich man from all over the country. Even though she has passed away, her influence is still there; in addition, her mother-in-law has always helped the poor and the weak, so no one disapproves of her.
Her relatives would naturally arouse sympathy rather than hatred.
Fourth Master Xi stood beside her, very pleased: "It's great that you are willing to go out to the market."
"There are some ugly words that make you numb if you hear them too much."
Du Xiaoqin said, "My current appearance is indeed scary enough. Shouldn't they be allowed to tell me?"
Fourth Master Xi was dull and could not say anything to refute, because in fact it was a bit scary.
He wasn't afraid, but he couldn't say sweet words like "It's not scary at all" and just followed Du Xiaoqin silently.
Du Xiaoqin recalled meeting him when she was young. He was also like this. He looked clumsy, taciturn, and didn't play fancy.
At that time, she had just been abandoned by a love that ended in failure. She gave birth to a daughter out of wedlock and looked down upon herself.
Fourth Master Xi helped her regain her warmth bit by bit.
If it weren't for Du Xueru, Du Xiaoqin would have had a very peaceful life, perhaps a little dull.
"...I occasionally think about the past during these days."
Du Xiaoqin said, "I always feel like the relationship between me and you is like a piece of clothing that has been cut but has not been sewn together. It is not a complete piece of clothing. It is a pity."
Fourth Master Xi's eyes were a little wet: "Xiaoqin, you know that I am not qualified to ask you for anything.
But I will wait for you."
Been waiting.
When they are old in the future, he will keep her company; when she is too old to move, he will tremble in front of the bed, bring her tea and medicine, and talk to her to relieve her boredom.
"Yun Qiao likes you very much."
Du Xiaoqin didn't answer his words, but told him.
"Yun Qiao is a good boy."
Fourth Master Xi said.
"I will go back with you, back to our old life.
Maybe I can't do it right now, but you have to give me time and patience, and I will try my best."
Du Xiaoqin said.
Fourth Master Xi nodded.
He took half a step forward and took her hand.
People were coming and going in the market, and they originally regarded Du Xiaoqin as a rare object, but when they saw her being led by someone, their gazes became even more probing.
Du Xiaoqin withdrew his hand.
That night, Du Xiaoqin asked Yun Qiao to help her.
When it was time to start, Du Xiaoqin had something to say again: "I, I have another request..."
