Su Qing thought that Mu Yunyao was just joking. She laughed and stroked her head, "Alright, if Yao Er wants to go elsewhere, we will go elsewhere. As long as you are there, Mother will always be happy. "
Mu Yunyao jumped down from the chair and laughed happily. "Alright, since Mother agrees, I will go find a way to earn more silver and then bring Mother to see the beautiful scenery down the river!"
"You……hahhh, be careful! You are still injured, you must take care not to hit your injuries!"
"I know," Mu Yunyao held the silver in her hand, the determination in her eyes became more and more obvious.
Ever since she started plotting Zhang Yongan’s death, she had already decided to leave the village. That was because she was not ready to go up against the Su family. According to her memory, the Su family would take another year and a half before they would arrive at the village to fetch Su Qing and herself. However, if she were to take the Su’s personalities into account, she was not sure whether they had already knew Su Qing’s real identity beforehand.
In this life, she wanted to go up against the Su family and make them pay the price. However, she could not do it with just her and her Mother. Thus, before the Su family arrives, she had to accumulate enough wealth and power. To do this, she had to leave this tiny village. She needed to pick a bigger springboard, and the rich and populous Southside of the river is the best place for her.
The South is quite far away. She had to
Mu Yunyao had rested at home for half a month, and the injuries at the back of her head and her arm had already scabbed over, while her hands had already regained its soft and pale look. Mu Yunyao rested her cheeks on her hands as she looked at the garden. She still had not been able to think up an excuse.
"Yao Er," Su Qing carried a bowl of red date porridge over. "Drink it while it’s hot. "
"Mother, my injuries have almost completely healed. Your body is weak during winter, you should drink it instead. "
"Don’t speak such nonsense. This is just an old weakness of Mother’s, I will always be like that. Hurry up and drink, or do you actually want Mother to feed you?"
"Yes," Mu Yunyao giggled as she raised her head. "Mother, feed me, Ah……"
Su Qing’s heart warmed, her eyes reddened a little. "Alright, Mother will feed you. " She had almost lost this child of hers.
"Mother," Mu Yunyao touched Su Qing’s face, a huge wave guilt filled her chest. "Mother, the other day, when Grandma bashed me on the head and knocked me out, I had a very, very long dream. I dreamt that Mother entered the Zhang residence and was tortured to death, I also broke my leg……"
Mu Yunyao picked a few events and told them to Su Qing. She carefully looked at Su Qing, her heart was all tensed up. Would Mother think that she was a monster? Would Mother be scared of her?
"Yao Er, my Yao Er has suffered so much. " Although Mu Yunyao did not tell her everything, Su Qing still started to cry. The broken leg, the Su family, the Prince’s residence……it sounded so unreal, but the fact that Mu Yunyao had to survive while being all alone and no one to depend on, just how much suffering did she have to go through?
"Mother does not think that I’m weird?"
"How could Yao Er be weird? You are a child protected by the Heavens. At that time when Mother gave birth to you, you were only seven months old. When you were born, you didn’t even know how to cry. The villagers said you would not be able to live long, but you proved them wrong. Look at you now, you have turned out to be such a beautiful child. This time, the Heavens are protecting you by warning you about the dangers that you will face. "
Mu Yunyao leapt into Su Qing’s arms. She secretly wiped away her own tears and said, "Mother, you’re the best. "
She had already told her about the thing that had been weighing on her heart the most. Now, Mu Yunyao felt so very light. She had a blissful dream that night, and when morning came, she woke up early and dragged Su Qing out of the door.
