The morning fog was heavy, and the weeping willows were covered with white. The flowers were hidden behind a piece of white gauze.
The sound of gurgling water continued, and Yun Qiao walked in a trance in the mountains, surrounded by dense ancient trees. A thick tree blocked the sky and the sun, and the entire forest was covered by it.
Yun Qiao sat by the tree, feeling so sad that tears rolled down her face. She was so sad that she burst into tears and woke up from crying.
Sure enough, there was morning fog that day, and the scorching sun had not yet risen. Looking down from the balcony, the entire courtyard was full of shadows. The tall sycamore trees on the roadside in the distance, with their lush branches, looked like a fairy descending to earth, standing quietly covered with mist.
Yun Qiao finally remembered why he dreamed of ancient trees: "Uncle Qi always smells of the vegetation deep in the forest."
That's why she dreamed of a big tree, so big that she accidentally thought it was an entire forest.
Uncle Qi is also so tall in her heart.
Yun Qiao went downstairs to have breakfast. Du Xueru was in a good mood and was gossiping with Fourth Master Xi: "My mother scolded my second sister-in-law because of what happened to her nephew."
Fourth Master Xi was not very interested.
Du Xueru said to Xi Wenlan again: "Because of that Liu Shi'an. He was teasing Yun Qiao, so he threw water on Xiao Qiyi."
Then she said to Yun Qiao, "Be more dignified when you go out and attract bees and butterflies all day long. Why do others only tease you and not your sister?"
Yun Qiao's black eyes rolled slightly, and his gaze fell on her face very calmly: "I was born so beautiful. Thank you mom, this is your credit."
Du Xueru was choked to death and could not speak a word.
Xi Wenzhan laughed inappropriately.
Du Xueru glared at him. But the boy was naughty and not sensitive enough. He was not afraid of her glare and even made a face at her.
Fourth Master Xi: "The child has been wronged outside, so let's not talk about her. As for the second sister-in-law, you should also show an attitude. Don't let others think that you are being bullied. It doesn't matter to you."
Du Xueru curled her lips.
She didn't dare to confront her second sister-in-law.
She changed the subject and talked about her second sister-in-law's niece, Miss Liu, who was now living in the second room.
"Is she here to study or to get married?" Du Xueru was curious.
Xi Wenlan smiled and said: "She wants to go to Huilan Middle School and came here specifically for this matter. Mom, you would never have imagined that she has just turned fifteen."
Yun Qiao was slightly surprised after hearing this.
Miss Liu looks very mature, maybe it's her clothes, makeup and behavior that give people this feeling.
When Yun Qiao met her for the first time, he thought she was in her early twenties. Not only Yun Qiao and others misunderstood Miss Liu's age, but Jiang Yanyu probably also misunderstood, thinking that Miss Liu was the same age, otherwise she would not be very close to Miss Liu.
"She is younger than me?" Xi Wenqing was also very surprised, "It doesn't look like she is."
"It's really hard to say a woman's age," Du Xueru said. "Some people grow up very quickly. They are already very tall when they are only thirteen or fourteen years old, and their facial features no longer have the childishness of a girl."
She also gave an example of a certain young lady in the third room. When she was fourteen years old, the governor's wife thought she was another twenty-year-old lady who was already married.
When talking about the woman's age and appearance, Du Xueru kept talking as if she was very experienced. Yun Qiao listened quietly and didn't interrupt a word.
Fourth Master Xi spent his days in a state of numbness. He didn't think anything was wrong and listened quietly to Du Xueru's talk.
Xi Wenlan used to cover up and cover up for her, but now she has neither the mood nor the ability, so she can only sit quietly by the side, with a quiet loneliness on her face.
Du Xueru's voice was the only one left at the dinner table.
