The carriage stopped by a small river at the foot of a mountain outside the city. It was far away from official roads, the environment was quiet, and the air was good.
It is already autumn now, and the grass and trees are not as green and tender as before, but slightly yellowish. From a distance, it does not look like a spectacular autumn scene.
"Mom, I want to go pick some red leaves. Can I ask Sister Xiaoruo to accompany me?" Nannan pointed to the red maple leaves not far away, her eyes full of love.
"Okay, I'll pick it for you." Xiaoruo said and took Nannan's little hand.
Mu Qianyu nodded slightly: "Go, just don't go too far, be careful of getting lost."
The two agreed and skipped away.
Beichenye had already sat down by the river at this time, with two fishing rods thrown in the river, and looked at Mu Qianyu.
"Here we come." Mu Qianyu trotted over, grabbed a fishing rod, and sat down in a decent manner.
Beichen Ye turned his head and sat quietly holding the pole in both hands. From the side, it looked like a landscape painting.
Mu Qianyu took a peek and saw that he was quiet and serious. His aura was no longer sharp, but his movements were still elegant and dignified, and he didn't look like an ordinary person.
She repeatedly lamented that this temperament is really a mysterious and mysterious thing that cannot be seen or touched, but it can give people extra points.
It's a pity that she doesn't have it.
Nothing but beauty.
Beichen Ye opened the fish food he had brought earlier and scattered it out in large quantities, intending to attract the fish from a distance.
As soon as Mu Qianyu sat here, he started to yawn. From time to time he looked at Nannan and Xiaoruo, but his mind was not on fishing.
Fishing is by no means her strong point, she is still more suitable for eating fish.
Beichenye's fishing rod was quickly thrown out of the river, and there was a big fish weighing three kilograms on the hook.
"It's so big." Mu Qianyu opened his eyes and went to get the fish basket.
It looks like she has ingredients for her grilled fish.
"I'm going to kill the fish and make a fire. There will be something delicious soon." Mu Qianyu said and completely dropped the fishing rod.
Beichen Ye saw through her little thoughts, smiled fondly and said: "Go and rest for a while, I will take care of the fish."
"No, you usually do it. Today, survival in the wild is my strength." Mu Qianyu insisted: "Just wait and eat. I will show my skills to my daughter today."
She said and went happily.
"Do you need my help?" Beichen Ye asked again.
"No, you can catch another fish to make fish soup, a fish that is more delicious."
He smiled and responded: "Yes, ma'am."
Mu Qianyu finally came up with his special skill, which was to disembowel the fish, clean it, stuff the fish with seasonings, and apply salt on the surface. A series of operations were carried out smoothly.
While the fish was marinating, she mobilized the children who had just returned to accompany her to pick up dead branches, and then they went up the mountain, halfway up the mountain.
"Mom, how much is enough?" Nannan said, picking up a small branch at her feet and raising her head to ask.
Mu Qianyu took the branch over and replied, "It's almost done. Let's go down the mountain now."
Xiaoruo followed the two of them, still holding the wild rabbit caught on the way up the mountain in her hand. She thought that the rabbit would soon be roasted until it was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, fragrant and soft, and she was particularly happy.
From the official road, you can see the mountainside here from a distance. At this moment, a carriage is driving past the official road. It is light and simple.
Mu Qianyu didn't pay attention and went down the mountain as usual.
However, just as she was putting the fish on the fire and handling the rabbit with a dagger, a man stood not far in front of her.
She was so absorbed that she didn't pay attention. Now when she heard the voice and raised her head, she saw an old acquaintance standing there. She had dealt with him many times, but it was just not easy.
When Xiao Ruo saw Su Yuqing approaching, she immediately frowned. Although she didn't take action, she was secretly alert.
Su Yuqing looked at the back of Beichen fishing in front of her at night, at her daughter catching autumn insects on the grass, and finally her eyes fell on Mu Qianyu. There was no longer any hostility in her eyes, but only desolation and loneliness.
This was the first time that Mu Qianyu saw Su Yuqing like this. There was no aggression on her body, and her whole body was like a pool of stagnant water.
She has lost a lot of weight. She does not look like a monk, but like a paper figure that could be blown down by the wind at any time.
"Do you want to see the prince?" Mu Qianyu saw that she had no intention of speaking, so he took the initiative to ask.
She thought that the former sweet girl of heaven had become like this. If she really wanted to meet her, it would be okay to let her meet her. A piece of flesh would be indispensable.
Beichen Ye, who was listening in front, had a dark look on his face. Hearing this, it meant that if Su Yuqing really wanted to say a few words, would she agree?
They say women are petty-minded, and now he even hopes that his little girl will be petty-minded.
After hearing this, Su Yuqing looked at Beichen Ye's back again, and was speechless for a long time.
Mu Qianyu didn't know what to say at this moment. No matter what kind of blow Su Yuqing suffered before, she had never been like this before. Her being with Beichen Ye was the main reason that defeated her.
From this point of view, this girl is really pitiful. After so many years of unrequited love, it ended in misery, which no one can bear.
"Well, how about I step aside and you guys say a few words?" Mu Qianyu said and winked at Nannan and Xiaoruo.
Nannan pouted slightly and refused to leave. She finally found her biological mother, and her mother was so kind to her. She didn't want to have another mother.
So she didn't want Su Yuqing to get close to her father.
Xiao Ruo didn't want to either. This brother-in-law was very nice and would give him valuable jade. She was also afraid of being seduced by Su Yuqing.
As a result, the two children looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy. Even Mu Qianyu winked a few times and refused to move.
Mu Qianyu had no choice but to step forward and pull them away.
"No." Su Yuqing's hoarse voice spoke out: "Your Majesty won't see me, what I want to see is you."
"Me?" Mu Qianyu was a little strange: "I don't think there is anything to say between us. Why don't you tell the prince?"
"..." Beichen Ye.
Is this my biological daughter-in-law?
"Can we take a step to talk?" Su Yuqing said firmly.
Seeing her attitude, Mu Qianyu nodded, threw the branch in his hand into the fire, and said, "Okay, let's go."
Xiao Ruo followed calmly.
The same goes for Nannan, who follows every step.
"Just stop following me, it's okay." Mu Qianyu stopped the two young ones and followed Su Yuqing up the mountain.
Nannan ran to Beichenye worriedly: "Dad, mother and the bad woman are gone. Go and protect her."
"It doesn't matter, she has no ability to hurt others." Bei Chenye said calmly.
"Then mother shouldn't go either. What should I do if there is danger?" Nannan was still a little anxious.
It was rare that Beichen Ye was not afraid of scaring away the fish, and said slowly: "I can't persuade your mother, so just let her be happy and come and sit and fish with daddy."
