After Long Xiangye's death, Xiao Shiji felt very depressed for a while.

Although this mother always brought him more troubles than joy, she was still the mother who gave birth to him and raised him.

The love of flesh and blood can never be extinguished.

Du Hengshuang didn't try to persuade him, so she just tried her best to ease his heart.

Every day I send him out to the main hall of Tiance Mansion, and in the evening I accompany him to have wine and talk. When I take a break, I ride my horse and whip with him and go to the outskirts of Luoyang to relax.

Because they were still in Xiaozhong, they did not go hunting, nor did they lead people to lively singing and dancing to add to the fun.

It was just a couple, accompanied by their two children, Brother Cheng and Brother Xin. They quietly looked at the scenery of the lakes and mountains, the birds singing and the fragrance of the flowers, and experienced the peace and beauty of the years.

Xiao Shiji's mood gradually recovered. The only person he could talk to now was Du Hengshuang.

People say that when an old couple is together, it's like the left hand touching the right hand, without feeling at all. As time goes by, the relationship gradually fades away.

But Xiao Shiji didn't feel that way at all.

Every time he thought about the ups and downs between the two of them over the years, he felt that all his emotions in his life had been spent on Shuang'er...

The next year is the second year of Yongxing, and the son born by Sister Zheng is having his first birthday gift.

When Sister Zheng gave birth to her baby last year, Zhu Susu fell seriously ill and almost failed to survive, so she did not come to Chang'an and missed her grandson's full moon ceremony.

This year she recovered from her illness and had already made preparations in Fanyang to come to Chang'an.

Du Hengshuang also reminded her repeatedly, and even planned to go to Fan Yang to drag her over in person if she didn't come.

…

The celebration ceremony for Sister Zheng's son's first birthday was held in the newly decorated central hall of Duke Zhu's mansion.

The tall and spacious central hall was packed with people everywhere.

All the dignitaries from Chang'an City came. Even the Yongxing Emperor Qizhi in the palace sent his confidants to give him the tools to capture Zhou.

Zhu Susu hugged the fat little grandson with great satisfaction, kissed him on the face, and said with a smile: "This child was born really well. He is only one year old, and he can tell that he will become a king when he grows up."

Looks great!"

Sister Zheng laughed horrifiedly at the side, covered her sleeves and said, "Mom, please take it easy. The child is small and delicate, so you can't praise her."

Zhu Susu felt it made sense after hearing this, and quickly changed her words: "That's right. This child was born fat and black, with a weird nose and eyes. Haha, he will definitely live a long life in the future..."

Du Hengshuang couldn't stand listening any more. She stroked her forehead and sighed. She took her direct grandson from Zhu Susu's hands and said angrily: "Susu, you are also a grandmother, and you are still acting like this."

Zhu Susu smiled, her clever eyes could still see the cunning and laziness of her youth.

An Zichang and Xiao Shiji stood behind them, folding their arms and watching leisurely, with a smile on their lips.

"Shiji, your grandson is not as strong as my grandson. He looks too precious, like too delicate thin-body porcelain..."

Before An Zichang finished speaking, Xiao Shiji had already raised his hand to stop him. He sneered and said, "What does your grandson call strong? I think it's better to call him strong! At such a young age, he is as strong as a blind bear!"

I think you and Su Su are not that kind of people. Your eldest son is also polite, and his wife is also a daughter of an aristocratic family. How did they get such a good thing?!"

It’s about the son Yan Geer, An Zichang’s eldest son, just got last year.

During the third bath, Xiao Shiji personally went to Fan Yang to congratulate him. After seeing the child, the corners of his mouth twitched and he couldn't say a word.

At that time, Zhu Susu was ill again, and Anzi often took her to rest somewhere else. Every day, he watched the doctor diagnose her pulse, watched the servants prepare her medicine, and took care of her for a whole year without taking care of her.

Go to the child.

Later, I heard from Xiao Shiji that his new grandson was "quite strange", so I went to have a look.

After watching it, I was speechless for a long time.

But now that Xiao Shiji brought it out again, he couldn't get it off his face.

The grandson is always good for himself, and the broom is still precious to himself, so he responded with a few words.

But after saying that, he was a little depressed. He said to Xiao Shiji: "I gave him a name, Lushan, which should be able to suppress him. Forget it, don't talk about him. I will take my family to live in Luoyang in two days.

Let’s take a few days to relax. Su Su said that she doesn’t want to stay in one place all the time and wants to visit various places.”

Xiao Shiji felt a little uneasy when he heard that, but he didn't think much, so he nodded and said: "Okay, when the time comes, go to Luoyang, I'll be the host, and you can go wherever you want to go."

An Zichang knew that Xiao Shiji was now the "King of Luoyang" and that the Tiance Mansion was full of talented people and arrogant soldiers. It was run even better than his Fanyang Jiedushi Mansion back then.

After so many years, Xiao Shiji finally gained experience.

Recalling his uncle Xu Shao's evaluation of Xiao Shiji when he was still alive, An Zichang had to admit that Xiao Shiji was indeed better than him.

What Xu Shao said at that time was, "If he can survive these hardships, he will survive. Give him enough time, and he will surely soar into the sky. No one can manipulate him or lock him up anymore."

…”

The two were chatting, and there was a burst of cheers from the front.

It turned out that Xiao Shiji's eldest grandson had grabbed a big seal and was playing around with it. He even tried to put it in his mouth and bite it, but refused to give it to anyone who wanted it.

"It can be seen that in the future he will be a civil servant like his father." Xiao Shiji said with emotion.

…

After catching Zhou Li, Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang rested in Chang'an for a few days. Seeing the clear weather, they asked Du Hengshuang if he wanted to go horse riding in the countryside.

Du Hengshuang also loved riding and shooting, so he immediately agreed, and together with Xiao Shiji, they took their two sons and a few followers and rode out of the city gate on their beloved sweaty horse.

The two of them rode horses and passed An Zichang's farm.

Du Hengshuang held the riding whip in his hand, pointed at the farm and said seriously: "It was because An Zichang hid Su Su and I in this farm that we were able to escape being hunted down by someone who wanted to kill us. Otherwise, you would really marry Chen Yuejiao as your filler.

Room is available.”

Xiao Shiji narrowed his eyes, as if something was passing by in his mind, but it was passing by so fast that he couldn't grasp the beginning and end.

"...Even if you are really gone, I will not marry her to fill in the house." Xiao Shiji said seriously.

Du Hengshuang smiled, said no more, and continued to move forward on his horse, running towards their Xiao family's village.

Not far away in the Feng family's village, Mu Yelai was being driven by someone, carrying a hoe to harvest wheat in the Feng family's fields.

After she was driven back by Lady Feng this time, she could no longer even do menial work in the yard, and was directly driven outside to work as a laborer in the fields.

She has never suffered like this in her two lives, and she only hates why she is still alive and has to suffer this. She is depressed. She only hates Du Hengshuang. She now understands that because of this life, Du Hengshuang has become a different person.

, so all the good luck of Mu Yelai was taken away by her...

It was only in the hatred of Du Hengshuang day and night that Mu Yelai survived.

Hatred for Du Hengshuang has become the only goal and motivation in her life.

She always slept uneasily at night these days, and scenes from her past life kept appearing over and over again in her dreams, and the dreams became more and more bitter, as if the sweetness in the past was her own subconscious comfort.

In the past, I could still get comfort from dreams.

Now she is dreaming, but it can only make her worse!

She no longer dared to sleep. She kept her eyes open day and night, for fear that as soon as she closed her eyes, she would be even more injured by nightmares.

What was strange today was that she actually took a short nap in the morning. She didn't have a single dream and she slept very soundly.

When she woke up, she was still stunned for a while, secretly wondering if her bad luck was finally over?

The foreman came in and urged them to get up and go out to harvest wheat in the fields.

As soon as Mu Yelai went out, she was startled by two crows on the tree that screamed loudly at her.

A crow flew up, passed over her head, and dropped a drop of bird droppings on her head...

"You evil beast seeking death. When I catch you, I will skin you and roast you!" Mu Yelai cursed, picked up the hoe and went to the field.

When I came to the field, my genius was bright.

After cutting the wheat for a while, the fog began to dissipate. She raised her head from the field and heard the sound of horse hooves and the melodious ringing of horse bells in the distance.

The horse bell sounded like it was made of pure gold, and its sound was completely different from that of a copper horse bell.

Mu Yelai couldn't help but squint his eyes and look over.

On the field ridge in the distance, Du Hengshuang, Xiao Shiji and several people were riding horses, walking slowly over.

Seeing Du Hengshuang and Xiao Shiji. Mu Yelai thought of the dreams she had had over and over again these days.

In fact, she knew that those were not dreams, but the real situation in her previous life!

When she was just reborn, the part of her forgotten memories finally swept over her like a tide, reminding her over and over again that the so-called "love" between her and Xiao Shiji in her previous life was actually just her covering up her own memory.

A rose-colored coat.

Xiao Shiji loved her very much, but he regarded her as a substitute for the real "Du Hengshuang". And no matter how she teased him, he refused to touch her...

In her last life, what she was most unwilling to accept was that she never got Xiao Shiji!

In fact, she should have thought of it a long time ago. If she had really been doted on for more than ten years, how come she didn't give birth to a boy and a girl in her last life?!

In her last life, she was also very unwilling. She hated that "Du Hengshuang"!

Finally she couldn't stand it anymore. Under Chen Yuejiao's instigation, she took the opportunity and drugged Du Hengshuang...

I just didn't expect that "Du Hengshuang" just got sick and was sent to Zhuangzi, and she got exactly the same disease as Du Hengshuang!
To be continued...
