After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

In such situations, language always seems pale and powerless.

Even if you consciously feel that you are putting yourself in someone else's shoes and offering comfort, it is often just superficial.

All the way to today, I must have said those words of comfort to myself countless times in every lonely and cold night when I tossed and turned. But it is obvious that so far, the effect is very small, so that when the wound that I thought had scabbed and healed was suddenly touched, I found that the old wound had never healed, and it was still bleeding in a place where no one could see.

Xu Yi felt the warmth from the other person, raised her hand slightly, and her fingertips stayed there for a long time, and finally slowly fell on the other person's lower back. She was silent, without saying a word, and her breathing was long and even, as if she had fallen asleep.

After a long, long time, so long that Yuan Ge thought the other party would not speak, Xu Yi called softly, "Qianqian... I heard that you are good at medicine. Let me ask you, can you... can you prepare some medicine to help this child forget the past?"

"Yes." Yuan Ge lowered his eyes and looked at Xu Yi who was almost broken, his voice was slow and light, "But sister-in-law, he has forgotten it once, forgotten the unpleasantness, but also forgot every bit of being with you. Now, do you want him to forget it again? I am not a person who is very popular with children, but he likes me. When he first saw me, he wanted to follow me back to the Kejing Marquis's Mansion, crying and making a fuss to go back with me, just because I am also a child without a mother..."

The body under my palm trembled slightly, "But he... I'm afraid he will become like that again when he wakes up. Qianqian, I know I shouldn't come back, but, but... but I just want to be closer to him."

Yuan Ge patted Xu Yi's back gently. In fact, she had not met this sister-in-law many times. They passed each other in the dark alley, drank together in the teahouse, and had never met each other in the initial painting boat. She always felt that this woman was free and easy, with a freedom and unruly nature that others could not learn. But now she realized that the free bird only landed for one person, just like the other end of the kite string, which was only held in this child's hand.

As a mother, how can you still have the freedom as unrestrained as heaven and earth?

Even though the world is free, it is still bound by one person.

Yuan Ge looked at the little guy whose frown gradually calmed down, "Sister-in-law, the people who hurt others will not realize how bad their behavior was. They may not even remember the child who knelt in the rain holding a sign with the word 'dirty' on it. The people who were hurt are the only ones who are stuck in the same place year after year, waiting for an apology that will never come, or waiting for a redemption whose existence is not even certain."

"Sister-in-law, if even you are unwilling to move forward, what will you let Zhuozhuo do? Just try to cover up the truth and whitewash the truth, remembering once and forgetting once, remembering again and forgetting again? There is no Mengpo soup or forgetfulness water in this world. Whether it is the master's method or my soup, it will be harmful if used too much. Maybe gradually, he will not even remember what happened yesterday... By then, there will be no way to save it."

"Then what should I do?" The woman who used to be so resolute and swift now looked like a helpless child. She hugged Yuan Ge and asked again and again, "Qianqian, then what should I do?"

Yuan Ge released his arms around her, half-knelt in front of her, looked her straight in the eye, and then called softly, "Sister-in-law, he is no longer the ignorant child. He is almost four years old, and is more sensible and mature than ordinary children. Big brother taught him very well, and he knows right from wrong. He was just frightened by the sudden return of his memories. When he wakes up, we will have a good talk with him, and he will understand... Sister-in-law, believe in yourself and Zhuozhuo. Even if the result is really not satisfactory, I am still here."

Xu Yi looked at the little girl squatting in front of him, and after a while, she responded softly, "Okay..."

At the age of sixteen, she is just a half-grown child, who can laugh, make noises, and act coquettishly. When she first came to Shengjing, the whole city was full of rumors about her, both good and bad. It was not the first time I saw her on the pleasure boat, but it was the first time I looked at her carefully. The little girl in brocade and gorgeous clothes was holding a little white dog. She was fair and tender and looked well-raised. She had a bright smile on her lips and looked fearless of wind and rain. She made people feel good about her for no reason... Only after this incident did I realize that this girl would take everything on her shoulders, no matter whether she could bear it or not. She would just carry it first, as it was her life at stake.

She still says she is afraid of death... If she is still afraid of death, how many people in this world are not afraid of life and death?

……

Yuan Ge removed the calming incense just as the dawn was rising. Calculating the time, the little guy probably woke up at breakfast time. She gave the room to the mother and son who met but did not recognize each other, and went to the deck to watch the sunrise with a cup of tea. But after taking a sip of the tea, a familiar "Awoo" interrupted the beauty of the moment.

When he turned around, he saw Murong holding Wen Xiaobai and walking up to him. He bowed and saluted without waiting for Yuan Ge to ask, "Lord Song asked me to come here. He said that the dog was very noisy and disturbed his sleep, so he asked me to bring it here."

Wen Xiaobai didn't feel at all that he was being kicked out. Seeing Yuan Geruo seeing his closest relative, he leaned forward with all his strength, crying and howling, as if he was crying for joy.

Yuan Ge did not comment, his expression remained unchanged, he just reached out to take it. Murong handed over the dog, took a step back and said, "However, I have good hearing, and I heard what Lord Song said to Lin Mu, 'Although staying in a pleasure boat is fresh and comfortable, it is inevitable to get bored after a long time, and it is always better to have Wen Xiaobai accompany you'... Lord Song actually cares about you very much, Madam. I have seen him sitting in the yard late at night these past two days, and the smile on his face has disappeared. I think he is thinking about you... You should stay for a few days and then go back."

Yuan Ge glanced at him, "When did Song Wenyuan smile for no reason?"

Murong Yuxuan thought about it and...it seemed to be the case.

He scratched the back of his head and made amends, "Anyway, it's obviously different. He was always gentler before, but now he has a cold face and looks lonely. Madam, there are bound to be quarrels between husband and wife. Just calm down and stay here for a few days and then go back. While you're not here, there's been no sound of people in Luofengxuan all day." There was no sound of people, only the barking of dogs, a dog and a bird, you barked and I howled, it was so cheerful.

Yuan Ge raised his eyelids and looked at him, then curled his lips for a while, "We didn't have a quarrel."

Although it was the truth, Murong Yuxuan had an expression that said, "Uncle is an experienced person. I have walked more bridges than you have walked roads, and eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. How can I not understand the things between you young people?" It was obvious that he took the other party's truth as stubbornness and concealment.
