Zhao Huaining wanted to stay for a few more days to see how Su Zhiqiu would take the lotus pendant from her, but after thinking about it, she realized that her curiosity was no match for her inner demons!
She didn't plan to stay in this book-traveling world any longer. As soon as she could walk, she would go out and find a place to die. After all, it was impolite to die in someone else's house.
Zhao Huaining was thinking about what happened next. Not long after the old lady of the Zhao family left, she had a dream in a daze. In the dream, she stood in front of Song Lingyue. The other party looked very surprised. From her wide eyes, she seemed to see that two of her three souls had been scared away. She must not have expected that the person who was already dead in her eyes could still appear alive in front of her.
"Yanniang, it's five o'clock in the morning. You've been guarding for a day and a night. Go and have a rest."
Just when Zhao Huaining was dreaming hard, Zhao Yuzhen's voice suddenly appeared in her ears. She paused, and the sword she pulled out in the dream broke with a snap. When she raised her eyes, Song Lingyue's face suddenly appeared in front of her.
Scary! Zhao Huaining suddenly opened her eyes in shock. She lay there quietly looking at the ceiling of the bed in front of her.
"What, is it dawn?" Chen Leyan looked out the window, it was gray.
Zhao Yuzhen raised her hand and gently hugged her Leyan and said, "It's five o'clock in the morning. I'm here with my daughter. You should go back and rest for a while."
Hearing this, Chen Leyan put her head on Zhao Yuzhen's abdomen, raised her hands to circle each other's waist, slowly closed her eyes and said, "I won't go back. I want my daughter to see me the first thing she sees when she wakes up."
After Zhao Huaining woke up on the bed, she moved her eyes from the ceiling to the two people hugging each other beside the bed. She clearly saw their appearance and dress by the candlelight in the room.
Although she knew that the two women in the book could get married, and she had heard their conversation when she couldn't open her eyes, what she knew and heard was far less shocking than what she saw with her own eyes. It was the first time she saw a pair of beauties hugging each other, and she had to say, it was so beautiful...
She could feel the feeling of mutual support and love from each other's embrace. This feeling was somewhat ordinary but also revealed an incomparable peace of mind...
It was so good... It was a pity that these two people could not save their daughter, and no one knew where the soul of Zhao Huaining in the book went.
"I don't know when Huaining will wake up. Don't let her wake up and you will hurt your body." Zhao Yuzhen bent down and kissed the forehead of the person in his arms, coaxing: "Be obedient and go back to rest for a while."
Chen Leyan opened her eyes, kissed her back affectionately, and said: "You have been guarding for a day and a night, and you still have to go to the shop today. Go back and take a nap before it gets light."
Zhao Yuzhen saw that Chen Leyan was unwilling to go back, so he said: "I will come back to rest after I finish my work in the shop. You are going to teach a group of naughty children, otherwise, you can take another day off."
Zhao Huaining looked at the two of them caring about each other and pushing each other here, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
"You two should go to rest." Zhao Huaining said, his voice hoarse.
The duo hugging each other in front of the bed turned their heads at the same time, and their eyes changed from surprise to joy almost at the same time.
"Oh, Huaining, you are awake." Chen Leyan happily stepped forward and held Zhao Huaining's face.
As soon as the warm hand touched Zhao Huaining, Zhao Huaining was stunned. She seemed to see the vague figure of her mother through Chen Leyan, who smiled at her gently.
"Mom." Zhao Huaining stared at the door. As soon as the word "mom" came out of her lips, she saw the vague figure smiling and nodding.
Chen Leyan rubbed her daughter's cheek and said, "Hey, you're awake. I and your mother were worried to death, do you know?" Zhao Huaining
didn't seem to hear what Chen Leyan said. She stared at the door and saw her mother waving at her, then turned around and disappeared at the door little by little.
"Mom!" Zhao Huaining's heart tightened, her eyes turned red, she supported her elbows on the bed, trying to sit up.
"Oh, you're shouting so loudly, turn around and look at me, mom is here, you're lying for a long time and you're not feeling well, right? Come, mom will help you sit down." Chen Leyan's face was full of smiles, and she helped Zhao Huaining sit up.
Zhao Yuzhen was relieved to see her daughter wake up. She went forward and put the brocade pillow upright on Zhao Huaining's back, "It's good that you woke up."
Zhao Huaining sat there, looking at the direction of the door. How could she see her mother just now? That feeling seemed very real. Seeing her waving goodbye to her, her heart ached.
"Oh, why are you crying? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Chen Leyan became nervous instantly. Zhao Huaining
came back to her senses and looked at the woman beside the bed. At first glance, she felt that her lips looked similar to hers, but it seemed that her lips were the worst of her facial features.
Seeing the two people in front of the bed staring at her intently, she calmed down and said, "I'm not uncomfortable, I just feel weak."
Zhao Yuzhen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This is normal. The kitchen has made black chicken soup for you. Just replenish yourself."
Zhao Huaining looked up at the woman standing next to her. When their eyes met, Zhao Huaining was surprised to find that her eyes looked similar to hers, but hers seemed to be the worst of her facial features. Her nose and mouth were very beautiful.
In Fengjue Mountain, she looked at herself in the river, and her appearance had not changed. Now it seems that she looks the same as Zhao Huaining in the book, but why did she pick the worst facial features of her two mothers? ? ?
This is a chance that can't be achieved even by luck! ! ! Both of her mothers are beauties, but she can only be described as delicate and pretty.
"Yes, yes, yes, the chicken soup in the kitchen, Zhenniang, quickly ask Lamei to bring it over. It's been a day and a night, my daughter must be starving." Chen Leyan said as she stood up to pour a bowl of water and handed it to her daughter: "Come on, Huaining, drink some water first."
Zhao Huaining was really thirsty, his throat was a little smoking, and he lowered his head and drank it.
"Slow down, slow down, kid, you went to such a dangerous place without telling your mother and me, what if something happens to me and your mother!" Chen Leyan said with some fear. Zhao Huaining
smiled and said, "Just give birth to another child."
Zhao Yuzhen had just come back from giving orders to the servants, and when he heard his daughter's words, his face immediately frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about."
"Oh, you dead child, bah bah bah." Chen Leyan gently hit her daughter's thigh through the quilt.
Zhao Huaining noticed their reactions and said with a smile, "Don't be embarrassed. You two were so affectionate just now, hugging and kissing each other. Having a second child shouldn't be a problem."
Chen Leyan's cheeks turned red when she heard that. She said angrily, "Child, why didn't you call us when you woke up? What were you looking at? Your mother and I will be forty in two years. Why should we have another child?"
Zhao Huaining wanted them to have another child, so he said, "It's not bad to have a daughter in old age. Anyway, I can't count on her. Just have another child and teach her from the beginning." Zhao
Yuzhen felt guilty when she heard that and comforted her, "Then... "Before, mother had too high expectations of you. After what I've been through, I've let it go. I just hope you're safe and healthy. You're right. Right now, the Liao has occupied our four cities. There are constant foreign wars. There are many uprisings against the Zhou in the mainland. Being an official may not be a good way out. Since you've decided to study business, then study hard in the academy. After you get a business diploma, come to the family shop. I'll take you to do business."
Zhao Huaining knew that the other party had misunderstood her when she heard this, so she said, "I... may not be good at business. Maybe your next child will be very successful."
"Don't worry, your mother is not lying to you. She has really let it go. Stop being awkward. Mother knows you're happy!" Chen Leyan said as she secretly grabbed her daughter's waist and pinched her.
Zhao Huaining looked at the woman in front of him in astonishment. What... what does that mean?
"Hurry up and thank your mother." Chen Leyan pinched and winked at her daughter.
....
Well, as long as she died before marrying Su Wanqing, Su Wanqing would not be able to harm this family. If she died, these two people would definitely consider having a second child, and she wouldn't have to worry about it.
"Thank you, mother." Zhao Huaining thanked Zhao Yuzhen, but in her heart she was thinking that business school and business would have nothing to do with her.
"Boss, madam, the black chicken soup is here." Lamei's voice came from outside the door.
"Bring it in quickly."
The door curtain was opened from the outside, and light came in. The sky outside was bright as the family of three chatted.
"I've asked for leave from the academy for you. You should have a good rest at home these days." Zhao Yuzhen felt relieved after his daughter woke up. After giving her instructions, he looked at Chen Leyan and said, "I'm going to the shop. Since my daughter is awake, let Lamei take care of her. You should go back and have a rest." Chen Leyan
smiled and said, "I know. Go ahead." Zhao Huaining
looked at the two of them, with a faint smile on her lips. Although they were nearly forty years old, she envied the feeling of caring for each other. She couldn't imagine it when she read the book. Now that she saw it with her own eyes, she felt comfortable in her eyes and heart. From this point of view, it's not bad for the two girls to be together. She was a little moved when she saw it.
After she goes back, should she find a girl to live with after revenge? But... what kind of girl should she find? As Zhao Huaining thought about it, the image of Su Zhiqiu's body trembling slightly after being poisoned by love suddenly appeared in her mind, which frightened her so much that she shuddered! ! !
How could she recall that scene? Could it be that there was still some love poison in her body?
At that time, Su Zhiqiu was already in the academy. As soon as she walked out of the Qihuang Academy, she sneezed.
"Zhiqiu, although spring is getting warmer, the weather is still cold. Wear more clothes in the morning." The teacher of the Qihuang Academy reminded Su Zhiqiu when he passed by her.
Su Zhiqiu nodded and said, "Thank you for the reminder, teacher."
"There is still half an incense stick before class. If you leave the academy, you must go and come back quickly."
"Yes." Su Zhiqiu responded respectfully and left quickly. Her skirt fluttered around her calves because of her quickened pace, like a blooming lotus.
Su Zhiqiu walked through a pavilion, went down the stone steps, and saw Zhang Jingming and his sister Su Wanqing before she reached the entrance of the School of Literature. She subconsciously hid behind the wall of the School of Literature. When did these two people meet? Why did these two people meet here early in the morning when the marriage certificate was just issued yesterday?
"Junior Wanqing?"
"Good morning, Senior Jingming." Su Wanqing smiled, "My mother told me yesterday that you and my sister are engaged, so I came here today to congratulate you."
Zhang Jingming's eyes dimmed a little when he heard that, and he said stiffly, "Thank you."
Su Wanqing stepped forward, her face full of liveliness, "Father said that your father once said that as long as they can marry into my family, both the eldest and the second daughter will pay ten miles for the wedding. Father said that your father was very sincere, but he couldn't make the decision for his daughter, so he asked us sisters to choose. My sister is older, so she chose you first. I came here to secretly tell you about my sister's feelings. I hope you can care about my sister more in the future. I wish you a happy marriage in advance."
Zhang Jingming was stunned when he heard that. Was it Su Zhiqiu who chose him first?
"Your father has always loved you, why didn't he let you choose first?" Zhang Jingming blurted out.
Su Wanqing had a pure expression on her face: "My sister is older, so naturally she will choose first! I'm about to go to class, so I won't chat with the senior!"
Zhang Jingming looked at Su Wanqing's back, tapped the book in his hand on his palm, and his face was full of regret! He still likes lively, bright and smiling people. Su Zhiqiu is too cold.
Su Zhiqiu raised her eyebrows slightly behind the wall as she watched her sister running away. Wouldn't her sister feel bored and tired like this?
Su Wanqing stopped after running away. She always knew that Zhang Jingming liked her. She knew every time someone's eyes fell on her. In her heart, it made no difference whether she chose Zhang Jingming or Zhao Huaining, but she felt particularly accomplished in her heart to take away the one her sister wanted to choose! !
"Eh? Huang Hao?" Su Wanqing saw Huang Hao running towards the business school with an abacus under his arm, and hurriedly called him, "Why are you alone today? Where is Zhao Huaining?"
"Oh, she asked for leave. Aunt Zhao said she fell off a cliff and can't come. I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to be late for class."
Su Wanqing was struck by lightning when she heard this. Fell off a cliff? ? ? Will she still be alive? Even if she can save her life, she will probably be disabled, right? Su Wanqing, who was
originally proud, panicked in an instant. If she couldn't be cured and lay in bed, what would she do for the rest of her life? She studied music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she learned them for fun. She never thought of making money to support her family. What if Zhao Huaining... Su Wanqing didn't bother to go to class. She lifted her skirt and ran down the mountain. She had to go to the Zhao family to see it with her own eyes. If it didn't work, her father would think of a way to cancel the marriage
