After hearing Bingwen's words, Yao Meizhen suddenly raised her head, and a little light of hope gradually rose from her eyes.
Yes, she had a pair of children back then.
My daughter has been docile and well-behaved since she was a child, although my son is naughty.
But the sound of milk and milk calling her mother was still in her ears...
"How long has it been since you last seen them?" Bingwen's voice was bewitching, bringing back memories deep in her heart.
Yao Meizhen thought of that day when she led a pair of children to Huo Tianxiu's place.
At that time, Huo Tianxiu was not the admiral of the Nine Sects.
My son is still young and not familiar with worldly affairs.
He thought his mother was just taking him to play on the streets, and then to visit his uncle's house.
There was laughter and laughter along the way. One moment I asked for a noodle, and the next moment I coquettishly asked for a bunch of candied haws.
She smiled lovingly at her son, satisfying him every step of the way. She turned her head, but her eyes were already filled with tears.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Huo Wenshu asked softly from the side.
At that time, my daughter had just turned ten, but she was more sensible than ordinary children.
More than two months ago, on her tenth birthday, she asked her daughter if there was any gift she wanted, but her daughter said she wanted to learn embroidery.
She thought her daughter saw that her father was not feeling well these days and didn't want to waste money, so she couldn't help but touch her forehead and asked: "It's okay, Wen Shu, today is your birthday, I can give you whatever you want."
Unexpectedly, the daughter shook her head and said: "I have everything a daughter should have. Now I don't have anything in particular I want. I just want to ask my mother to teach me embroidery."
Seeing Wen Shu's persistence, she had no choice but to satisfy her daughter.
I thought she was interested in embroidery on a whim, and I thought that if she wanted something in the future, I would buy it for her.
Unexpectedly, after a while, Yao Meizhen suddenly found a lotus flower on her sleeve.
Although the embroidery method is unfamiliar, it looks similar.
The piping is embroidered with gurgling water, and a green lotus leaf sticks out from the flowing water, holding a pink and delicate lotus flower.
There was a trace of warmth in her heart, and she was very pleased with her daughter's obedience and filial piety.
He called her over and prepared to praise her.
Unexpectedly, the daughter took her hand to her father and put their cuffs together.
Only then did she discover that her daughter had also embroidered a lotus flower on her father's cuffs.
The two lotuses put together look like two lotuses...
Huo Tianyang had just discovered the ingenuity of this lotus flower. He hugged his daughter happily, scratched her nose and said, "Wen Shu is really a good daughter of her father. My father will take medicine for Wen Shu. After her body recovers, Take you and Wenkang out for fun with your mother."
At that time, my daughter smiled brilliantly, as bright as a flower.
The flowery face softened together with the earnestly questioning face in front of her, making her with tears streaming down her face feel so sad in her heart.
Huo Wenshu obediently wiped her tears and comforted her: "Mom, maybe my father is just bored at home and went out alone to relax. He will be back in a few days."
She listened to her daughter's soft words and looked at her concerned face.
The tears couldn't be stopped.
Her children did not know their father.
forever.
Will never come back again…
But she couldn't say.
She could only bear this secret alone and keep it rotten in her stomach.
She took her children to a clothing store and bought them some new clothes.
Wenkang still looked happy.
But Wen Shu always stared at her with worried eyes.
After buying the clothes, she led them straight to Huo Tianxiu's place, handed her children to him, and left hiding her face.
Wenkang was still chasing her back and shouted: "Mother, you have to come and take us back early."
But Wen Shu just said: "Mother, you have to take care of yourself..."
After that parting, she never saw them again.
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I don’t dare.
Later, when she heard that Huo Tianxiu had taken the position of the nine-door admiral, she became even more afraid.
He stays in the backyard of Zhuo Mansion all day long and never goes out.
How long had it been since she'd seen them
It's been more than five years...
Bingwen saw a look of emotion on Yao Meizhen's face, and then he said: "Wen Shu just got hairpins this year. As a mother, you will not see her on such an important day. She has to pay her respects and listen to her." Uncle will finish it for you, you will feel sorry in your heart."
Yao Meizhen's eyes were filled with tears. Her daughter was about to have haircuts, and in a blink of an eye she would be old enough to get married.
The person who appears now should be slim, gentle and pleasant.
After all, she has been a beauty since she was a child.
What's rare is that he is so well-behaved and sensible.
She never thought that she would be able to attend Wen Shu's haircut ceremony, and she felt more than regretful...
But, does she still have a heart
She lost her conscience more than five years ago.
"And your son Wenkang, you know. He witnessed everything that night five years ago." Seeing that her face was ashen, Bingwen's words became fierce and he spoke passionately.
"How is that possible?" Yao Meizhen instinctively retorted and finally spoke her first words.
Bingwen snorted coldly and spoke harshly to her: "He was only six years old at that time. He was sleeping in the back room separated by the screen from your room. He woke up in the middle of the night when he heard his father's cry. When he got up, he saw Zhuo Xiande coming from his father's house. Take the needle out of your belly.”
"Impossible, impossible. You are talking nonsense, you are talking nonsense. Wenkang is obviously the same as usual. I told him that his father was going on a long trip, and he believed it." Yao Meizhen's state became crazy again.
Her hands reached out from the iron bars and tried to grab Bingwen's clothes, but in the end it was all in vain.
Bingwen had a look of disdain on his face and looked at her waving hands and said disdainfully: "That's because you gave birth to a good daughter. Huo Wenkang told his sister that his father either traveled far away or was stabbed to death with a needle." Huo Wenshu She covered his mouth and taught him that the doctor was treating his father again, and his father had indeed traveled far away."
"No! You lied to me!!" Yao Meizhen fell to the ground again and sat paralyzed there.
Leaning against the prison bars, he kept repeating the word "lie to me".
"How do you think this matter was exposed? It was because Huo Tianyang's body happened to be dug up in my courtyard, and the sleeve of the robe he wore before his death had a lotus embroidered on it. The embroidery pattern was attached to the corpse identification document posted in Dali Temple, and your daughter Huo Wenshu saw it and recognized it." Bingwen's eyes were cold, and every word was like a rock.
Yao Meizhen covered her eyes with her hands...
Back then, she was afraid that her daughter would ask her why her father didn't wear the robe she embroidered when he went on a long trip.
Therefore, that night five years ago, she specially put on that robe for him.
Who would have thought…
It is really a cycle of cause and effect, a sin that cannot be escaped.
Yao Meizhen burst into tears.
Complete collapse...
