"Yao'er! Yao'er, don't be afraid! Your mother is here, and she has always been with you!" Su Qing was worried that her wounds would hurt, so after she tidied up the things outside, she came to look at her. She was curled up into a ball, and her face was filled with tears.
Mu Yunyao opened her eyes and looked at Su Qing. She subconsciously let out a smile."Mother, what's wrong?"
"Yao'er is in so much pain from her wounds, so why is she crying like this?" Su Qing looked at her worriedly.
Mu Yunyao touched her face and actually felt tears on her hands."The wound doesn't hurt, it's just a dream about daddy."
She changed the subject, unwilling to share her bizarre experiences. She could bear the burden of the dark and heavy past by herself.
Speaking of her father, Mu Cheng, Mu Yunyao's heart sank. Her father doted on her to the extreme. With him here, Granny Li would never dare to bully her and her mother like this. However, he had actually fallen into the water and drowned...
Suddenly, a cold light flashed through Mu Yunyao's mind."Mother, I remember that daddy's swimming ability is extremely good."
In her previous life, she had only thought that her father had died accidentally, so she didn't think too deeply into it. Now, it seemed that there was something very strange about this matter, because when her father drowned, it was already late winter. After that, not long after, she and her mother were sold into the Zhang residence. Her mother died, and she escaped by luck but her leg was broken. Her reputation was ruined, and then the Su Clan ...
However, although her mother was a daughter of the Su Clan, she had been kidnapped and had been widowed. She did not have any obstructions towards those nobles high above in the capital city, so why did she have to go through so much trouble?
At the mention of her deceased husband, Su Qing could not help but shed tears."Your father is able to swim, but the water is unpredictable. This might be his life, right?"
The two of them consoled each other for a while before snuggling in and falling asleep.
In the middle of the night, Mu Yunyao, who was originally sound asleep, suddenly opened her eyes.
Su Qing was full of worry, but she still hadn't fallen asleep. When she heard the sound, she almost jumped up in fright.
Mu Yunyao hurriedly held her hand and did her best to lower her voice."Shh, mother, don't worry." After saying that, she quietly got off the bed and grabbed a roller from the side of the bed.
A pretty widow with a thirteen-year-old daughter lived at the village entrance. If someone sneaked in, the two of them would have no chance of survival, so they hid the kitchen knife under the pillow and placed the grinder on the bed, just in case they needed it. Right now, they could use it.
Su Qing's heart leaped to her chest. However, when she saw her strong daughter, she mustered her courage and got off the bed to stop Mu Yunyao, "Mother, come ..." Yao'er was only a twelve year old child and was injured. She had no strength left at all. She took the grinder from Mu Yunyao and quietly walked to the door. She saw the black figure rummaging around.
Mu Yunyao followed behind Su Qing. When she saw her mother, who stood firmly in front of her while trembling in fear, tears welled up in her eyes. She stealthily looked at the figure outside and her gaze suddenly turned cold.
After all, she had hated him for so many years. She thought about it, then picked up the chamber pot from the ground, taking advantage of Su Qing's lack of attention to open the door, before she charged towards the black figure. She raised the chamber pot high in her hand and smashed it onto the black figure's head, who was rummaging through the cabinet.
Su Qing was shocked. When she came back to her senses, she hurriedly rushed out from the inner room and hit the black shadow with her stick.
The black shadow let out a short scream, "Ah!"
Although the exclamations were short, Su Qing could immediately tell that this was her mother-in-law, the Li family.
All these years of fear made her subconsciously want to let go, but the next moment, she was abruptly grabbed by Mu Yunyao. She lifted the stick and viciously smashed it down!
Although many things looked difficult, once one took that step, one would feel that it was nothing. After Su Qing fought for a while, the depression in her heart seemed to have found a outlet for her to vent.
Only when Su Qing saw that the black shadow did not make a sound did she feel a lingering fear. With a bang, she threw away the stick in her hand and her entire body trembled.
