The shopkeeper looked at it with relish. The door of the inn was still closed, and the light from outside came in from the upstairs window and fell on the people in the lobby.
The shopkeeper looked at the breakfast brought out by the waiter and couldn't help it. After eating a piece of cake, she realized that it was simply that the noble man accidentally fell off a cliff when he was young and was saved by a woman named A Tang.
Ah Tang originally went to the mountains to find his brother. After rescuing the man, he placed him in the home of the herb collector. The herb collector got interested and assumed the identity of the noble man's savior.
Later, by mistake, Ah Tang got married to the noble man, and the medicine-gathering girl still lived at home as a savior, sowing discord, and finally poisoned Ah Tang.
Ah Tang's second brother fled here with Ah Tang.
A wealthy lady from a wealthy family ran away with her baby, as if she was reading a storybook when she was bored yesterday.
Originally, the shopkeeper was a little afraid of those tall and powerful guards, but after listening to the story, I found that it was just like this in a big family.
I was no longer so afraid in my heart, so I glanced at the frightened waiter, walked over with my breakfast, and said generously: "Madam, this is the breakfast you want."
When Su Tang heard the voice, he lifted his face from Xie Yuhe's arms and said, "Auntie, I'm hungry."
Xie Yuhe nodded, took what the guard handed over, asked Su Tang to sit down, put the spoon in her hand, and watched her eat lovingly.
She felt Chu Cheng's gaze on her, and she could only try her best not to care.
Chu Cheng waited patiently for Su Tang to eat breakfast, and asked Su An why he didn't eat. Su An said that it might be because he was born with a disease, so he couldn't eat breakfast and would vomit after eating.
Chu Cheng felt more and more guilty, thinking that the toxicity of Qianji Powder must have affected An An.
Maybe it was because he was grateful to Xu Xu for taking care of his wife and daughter in the past three years, or maybe because An An relied on Xu Xu, and he didn't want to leave a bad impression on his children.
Therefore, even though Chu Cheng heard An An calling Xu Xu "father" repeatedly, even though his heart was sour, he was jealous of the way Xu Xu and Su Tang had been getting along day and night for the past three years, and after all, he did not do anything to Xu Xu.
What's even more pitiful is that Xu Xu is a disciple of the miracle doctor. Now there is no trace of the miracle doctor. Xu Xu may be needed to recover Su Tang and better recuperate An An's body.
Although my hands are disabled and I cannot perform acupuncture, the experience accumulated over the years is still there.
As for the oath he once swore to never use the medical skills and poisons he learned to save or harm others, what does it have to do with him?
As long as my wife and daughter are healthy, that's fine.
But secretly, Chu Cheng didn't want Su Tang to recover. He was afraid that when Su Tang recovered, it would be painful to think about what happened in the future.
Back then, he couldn't face Su Tang's pain, so he chose to escape. By escaping, he almost lost the most important person.
Su Tang and others were taken away by Chu Cheng and brought to a village outside Zhaozhou City. They were locked in a courtyard and could not go out.
Fortunately, An An was used to this. When she was in Lin'an City, her father went out to sell wontons. When she was at home with her mother, she also stayed in the yard all day long.
An An knew that she was different from other children. Other children might like a broader sky, a freer guarantee, and more relaxed fun, but she only wanted to stay with her mother and father.
No matter where she stays, as long as the family is together, she feels happy. She didn't feel that the sudden addition of a father had much impact on her life. She only knew that her mother-in-law hated him and her father hated him. Even her aunt would sometimes show a confused emotion and say: "I I don’t remember the past, nor do I remember my father, mother, or sister, so I can’t even feel hatred.”
An An didn't understand a little, but when she took the story into account, she understood.
Just like the stories told by storytellers in teahouses and taverns, when listening to other people's stories, although they lament the love and hatred of others, they are just sighing, and they still have the status of an outsider.
When my aunt heard about the past, it was like listening to other people's stories. I don't blame her, she was sick.
It was another late night, and Xie Yuhe couldn't sleep. She listened to An An's steady breathing, looked at Su Tang, who was also unable to sleep, and asked: "A Tang, tell me why he locked us up here that day. Judging from his performance, doesn’t he care about you?”
Xie Yuhe didn't understand. Chu Cheng took them out of the inn that day. She thought Chu Cheng was going to take them to Luo Mansion. After all, the Luo family managed Zhaozhou. If the emperor and princess came, they would definitely live in the Luo family's garden.
Those who are closer to the water, first get the moon, Xie Yuhe thought, after entering the Luo family, it would be easier to get in touch with her husband and daughter.
She has been dreaming these days, dreaming that her daughter is looking for her, but cannot find her, and she is very panicked. At the end of the dream, her daughter will turn into a ball of blood mist.
She really wanted to see her daughter.
It was strange that she always dreamed of her daughter, but the new emperor that Su Tang and Xu Xu talked about, the former Duke of Zhenguo, had never dreamed of her.
Xie Yuhe thought that maybe he was not that important to him.
Or maybe, it's too important to dream about.
It's a pity that Chu Cheng didn't take them to Luo's house, but took them out of the city and came to this farm. They had been living in this yard for three days.
For the past three days, guards have been guarding the entrance to the courtyard, preventing them from going out, not even walking around the entrance.
There are two little girls taking care of them in the yard. One of the two girls is called Lian Zhi and the other is Lian Man. They are about fourteen years old and are the children of nearby tenant farmers.
But apart from his age, name and place of origin, nothing else could be asked.
She remembered that when Chu Cheng brought them here, he said that he still had official business to deal with and needed to go to the Dabie Mountains. It might take three days to come, so he asked them to wait.
Xie Yuhe could see that Chu Cheng wanted to leave with Ah Tang, only Ah Tang, but for some reason, he gave up in the end. Perhaps it was Ah Tang’s distrust, or maybe he was reluctant to leave Ah Tang and Ah Tang. An An's mother and daughter are separated.
"Care?" Su Tang's voice was still soft, "Aunt, maybe you care, but you know, there is always a kind of people in the world. They are different from ordinary people. Chu Cheng's concern for me is like a beast snatching away The land needs a beautiful flower to decorate the cave, and the flower he needs is what he thinks is the best.”
Xie Yuhe didn't understand, but she knew that Chu Cheng didn't like Ah Tang as much as he showed, so why did he react like that.
"He is sick, and I don't know what kind of illness he has. He can't touch or look at women other than me. Maybe this is God's punishment for such a sanctimonious person like him who has done all kinds of bad things.
The reason why he went to Lin'an in such a hurry was not for official business, he just wanted to confirm whether Brother Xu and I were really pretending to be a couple as we said. Even though we had been together day and night for three years, we had never crossed the line. . "
