The Iron Cavalry King and the others are in Dongzhou, and have already encountered Xie Houqi?

I asked, "Is he who injured Yangchu?"

"Yes," Miaoyan said this, and his voice became slightly heavy, and he said, "I don't know what happened to them. One of Brother Yangchu's arms was covered in skin and it was almost ruined, which scared me."

I couldn't help but remember that in the Shengjing Palace, which was not far from here, the people of the eight heavenly kings at that time, or the main ones were Xie Houqi, wanted to cause trouble for Huang Tianba. The two of them had a duel. The iron whip he used was filled with dense iron thorns. I remember that he used the whip to hurt people, which was like a skin-blooded wound.

That is to say, the two people must have encountered each other in person.

I asked hurriedly, "Na Yangchu is now--"

"Mom, don't worry," Miaoyan said: "I really scared me when I sent it back, but it's better after raising it for a few days. Uncle Wang of the Iron Cavalry also said that fortunately, he didn't hurt his muscles, but he couldn't use his hands these days."

"That's good……"

I was relieved, nodded, and then asked again: "Where is that evil Houqi?"

"He ran away."

"Running?"

"Well," Miaoyan said, "I heard from Brother Yangchu that he was going to chase him and wanted to get him back, but he didn't expect that this man was so cunning and deceived him into getting close to him. After he passed, he hit him with a whip. Brother Yangchu was injured, so he took the opportunity to run away."

As she said that, she couldn't help but grit her teeth: "Bad guy!"

My brows frowned.

Xie Houqi ran away...

In fact, this person has never been important. No matter how insidious and cunning he is, he is just a fox who can be released and bite people. But I was just a little worried that even he appeared in Dongzhou.

In other words, even if our every move is not completely exposed to Pei Yuanxiu's eyes, at least he has some understanding of what is happening here.

Now, Xie Houqi ran away.

Did he go back to the capital or where did he go?

I couldn't help but frown, and at this time, a warm hand reached over and gently rubbed my eyebrows, saying, "Mom, don't frown."

“…”

"We're all fine."

Hearing my daughter's soft voice, I couldn't help but put down the big stone in my heart again, looked down at her, reached out to fumble and touched her face, and said softly: "Okay."

We almost stuck together and said happily for a while. Although Pei Yuanhao sat next to him, he didn't say a word, and seemed to just look at us quietly. It was not until a person came in outside and said something, and he said, "Okay, let's have a meal first."

Yes, it's time to have supper.

This time, the meal was placed in my room, and there was no one else, only the three of us had dinner together.

My eyes couldn't see it, so of course I could only hold the bowl and eat it in it. However, Pei Yuanhao and Miaoyan kept picking up food into my bowl. After a while, a lot of it piled up and couldn't even eat rice.

I smiled and said, "Don't pinch it anymore."

"Mom should eat more, she lost a lot of weight."

"Yes," Pei Yuanhao next to him also echoed: "My daughter is better at taking care of herself than you."

I smiled faintly.

After eating a bite of food, I heard Miaoyan gently put the bowls and chopsticks back on the table and said, "But in the future, I can no longer take care of my mother."

I looked up at her.

Pei Yuanhao also calmed down, but his breath seemed very heavy, as if he was not surprised by Miaoyan's words. I whispered: "Hmm?"

Miaoyan said seriously: "Uncle Wang of the Iron Cavalry said that when I come back this time, I will do my business with Brother Yangchu."

“…”

My hand shook, and a chopstick slid from my fingers and fell on the table.

Miaoyan hurriedly reached out to help me pick it up, and looked at me again: "Mom."

“…”

I didn't say anything, but slowly put the bowl and the remaining chopstick back on the table.

In fact, I have been prepared for a long time. Since I arrived in Shengjing, this matter has been pressing on my heart. I don’t say it, but I just want to escape.

But when Miaoyan comes back, she can no longer escape this matter.

Miaoyan put the chopsticks to my hand, then held my slightly trembling hand and said, "Mom, don't do this."

“…”

After leaving these days, she seemed to have completely accepted this matter and was able to face it calmly. Perhaps as she said, the only thing that disturbed her was me.

Her marriage, especially this kind of marriage, really cut off a piece of meat from my heart.

On the other side, Pei Yuanhao also slowly put down his bowls and chopsticks.

He said, "Actually, I want to tell you about this."

“…”

"It's going to be done in three days."

“…”

"They have been preparing for the past few days."

“…”

"After completing this matter of Miaoyan, we will leave Shengjing."

I didn't say anything, but my breathing and heartbeat were heavier than the one I just now, and I was even a little breathless. After a long time of stagnation, I nodded slowly: "Oh."

Miaoyan grabbed my hand: "Mom..."

Seeing that they were both so cautious, especially Miaoyan, she was obviously facing the biggest turning point in a girl's life. More importantly, she really wanted to leave us completely and face her own unknown life, but she just focused on comforting me. Such sensibility made me feel even more sad.

She was quiet for a while, then turned to Pei Yuanhao and said, "Father, can I live with my mother tonight? I want to spend time with my mother, and I have a lot to say to her."

Pei Yuanhao said: "Of course."

Having said that, I couldn't eat any more. Pei Yuanhao had to discuss some major issues with the Iron Cavalry King who had just returned to Shengjing for several days. After the servants packed up the things, Miaoyan helped me wash up and the two of them lay on the bed early.

She still likes to stick to me, hold my waist, and bury her face in my arms.

There was a smile on the corner of my mouth, but my voice was completely hoarse when I spoke, and I said, "It's so big, I'm still so sticky about my mother. How could you look like a girl who is about to get married?"

She raised her head from my arms: "Mom, I've actually grown up long ago."

“…”

"I just--I can't bear to part with my mother."

"Miaoyan," I don't know if it was because her head was resting on my chest. The chest was really heavy, making my heartbeat so difficult. I looked at her. The candlelight on the candlestick beside the bed could barely let me see her outline. But I didn't know the expression on her face at this time. I said, "Do you know what's going on with a marriage? You agreed, you know the future--"

Having said that, I can't continue.

She said, "I don't know...but I seem to know a little bit."

“…”

"I know that getting married means two people live together, like the father and mother of the past, probably like the mother of the future and the third uncle, right?"

As soon as she mentioned Qinghan, my eyes immediately turned red.

My throat hurts a little, and I whispered softly: "It's not just two people together, but more importantly, the hearts of two people must be together."

“…”

"Miaoyan, will your heart be on Yangchu?"

She was always outspoken, but this time, she didn't answer me immediately.

Actually, I know, she can't answer.

Although my daughter is young, she has experienced more things than some adults. Even at such an age that she should have been with her parents, she would marry far away and be separated from me from now on.

She-she can't even fully understand the meaning of marriage to her life.

I felt that she seemed a little lost, but she seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, she suddenly said: "This time, Brother Yangchu was injured and fell into a coma for the whole day, and I have been with him."

Feeling my breathing tight, she hurriedly said, "Mom, I did nothing."

“…”

"I just held his hand."

“…”

"His hand was injured and bloodless, just like ice cubes. The doctor was worried that his hand would be ruined. I was also afraid, so I held his hand, afraid that he would be too cold."

“…”

"When he wakes up, I will let him go. But—"

"But what?"

"But he grabbed my hand and stopped putting it."
