Winter goes to spring, spring goes to summer, and in a flash, Chu Mu is already three years old.
Today is his third birthday.
Seeing Chu Mu who was already a grown-up, Su Yan was filled with emotion. It seemed that in the blink of an eye, Chu Mu had grown from a baby to such an adult. She and Chu Yan had been married for more than four years. More than four years have been plain, but also very happy.
Su Yan was very satisfied with her current life, she turned her head to look at Chu Yan, and originally planned to confess to him, but she saw him looking at Chu Mu thoughtfully.
"What's the matter? You seem to be absent-minded when you wake up in the morning." Su Yan asked.
Chu Yan came back to his senses after being asked by Su Yan. His phoenix eyes were deep, but he was deliberately avoiding Su Yan's gaze: "It's okay."
Su Yan looked at the strange Chu Yan, and then looked down at the also strange Chu Mu. Chu Mu is also a little different from usual today, every morning after he sees Su Yan, he must greet Su Yan immediately, but today he is silent.
Chu Mu held Chu Han's little hand, looked up at Chu Yan and Su Yan, pursed his lips, and stopped talking.
"Brother, play." Only Chu Han didn't notice anything, wearing a pink gauze skirt, pulling Chu Mu and pointing outside for a walk.
"It's my brother's birthday today, so I can't go out to play." Chu Mu held Chu Han's little hand, preaching to Chu Han like a little adult.
Chu Han pouted unhappily, and turned to look for her father, but her father, who has always been responsive to her in the past, said: "Hey, our sister Han has to spend her birthday with my brother today, and I will take you tomorrow." Go out and play."
Chu Han rubbed his eyes unwillingly, then turned around and went to look for his mother to play like a baby and go out to play.
"Let's go, mother will take you out to have a look." Su Yan just bent down and picked up Chu Han, and heard Chu Yan say: "Yan'er, I have something to tell you, you first let Caixia take two Let the kids go out and play."
Sure enough, Chu Yan had something to hide from her.
Asking Caixia to take the two children out, Su Yan turned her head and looked curiously at Chu Yan who had a serious expression.
Chu Han was very happy to be able to go out to play, and immediately went out happily, but Chu Mu walked to the door, looked back at his mother, and then walked out silently with his head down.
Seeing the maid closed the door, Chu Yan said: "You should still remember one thing. You had a nightmare once in five thousand years. I went to invite Master Yuan'an to come and you woke up."
"Remember." Su Yan nodded.
However, Chu Yan was silent again. In the early years, he was afraid that Su Yan would not be able to accept this matter, so he kept hiding it from her. This concealment lasted for three years. Seeing that the mother-child relationship between Su Yan and Chu Mu grew stronger during these three years Deep, Chu Yan couldn't bear to tell Su Yan about it now.
Seeing Chu Yan like that, Su Yan was very suspicious, thinking of many possibilities almost instantly.
Su Yan lost her mind, and frowned and looked at the man in front of her: "Chu Yan, you raised a child outside, right?" Otherwise, what is there that deserves Chu Yan's silence
Seeing Su Yan's serious questioning, Chu Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and only lightly reprimanded: "What nonsense."
"Then what's wrong with you?" Su Yan asked: "What is so difficult to say?"
Chu Yan looked at Su Yan, and sighed deeply. He knew that this matter had to be said today, so he simply said directly, "When I went to ask Master Yuan An to save you, Yuan An The master once mentioned a condition to me, saying that if he saves you, the first boy born to us will be handed over to him when he is three years old, and today is what we agreed on at the beginning. day."
Su Yan couldn't be more shocked in her heart, she looked at Chu Yan in surprise: "What did you say?"
Chu Yan didn't speak, but looked at Su Yan with apologetic eyes. At that time, he only wanted to save Su Yanhui, and he would agree to anything without hesitation, but he didn't expect that it would be like this when something happened.
To be honest, Su Yan still can't accept this news. She was fine in the morning, but suddenly someone told her that someone is coming to take her son away? And you want to take him to be a little monk? Who can easily accept this matter
The room fell into a deathly silence for an instant.
After a while, Su Yan said, "Master Yuan An hasn't come yet? Could it be..." She looked at Chu Yan expectantly, hoping to hear the response she wanted.
Chu Yan shook his head: "On the day when the child was washed for three days, Master Yuan An came and sent a special gift, and reminded me of this matter by the way. Master Yuan An is an eminent monk who has attained the Dao, and he will not target indiscriminately."
Su Yan couldn't bear these words, tears welled up in her eyes at that moment: "Chu Yan, you don't really want to send your son to be a young monk, do you?"
Chu Yan didn't know what to say.
He had indeed agreed to the matter at the beginning, and a gentleman promises a thousand dollars, so it is impossible for him not to admit it at this time. But, to really let his son-in-law leave with Master Yuan An... To be honest, he was unwilling in his heart. Therefore, Chu Yan was also quite tangled at this time.
But if he forcibly keeps Chu Mu, he is afraid of harming Su Yan.
At this time, someone from outside reported that a monk had come outside, claiming to be Yuan'an.
Hearing this, Chu Yan and Su Yan looked at each other in unison, Chu Yan said: "Master Yuan An, please come into the residence."
Su Yan pursed her lips, and made up her mind not to allow anyone to take her son away.
Outside, Yuan An walked in wearing cassock. I haven't seen him for several years. He looks the same as before, only the smile on his face seems to be more peaceful.
After entering the room, Yuan An opened the door and said straight to the point: "Amitabha, I have come to pick up my son as promised."
"Master, please sit down." Chu Yan treated him with courtesy.
Master Yuan An shook his head and said: "I won't sit down anymore, I will leave after taking over the son."
"I disagree." Su Yan said suddenly.
Yuan An was not surprised by Su Yan's reaction, he said: "This matter was agreed between the prince and the old monk."
Seeing that Master Yuan An refused to let go, Su Yan simply became unreasonable. She clutched her handkerchief and said, "I gave birth to the child. I didn't agree to it. No one is allowed to take it away. He promised to give you a son. You let me give birth to the child." He was born with others, and I will give you as much as I love, anyway... anyway, I will not let you take my son away." Su Yan didn't want to be unreasonable, but she really has no other choice now!
Faced with Su Yan who behaved like this, the smile on Master Yuan An's face remained unchanged. He held the Buddha beads and performed a Buddha ceremony to Su Yan, and then slowly said: "My son is a good man of the ninth generation. With the guidance of my Buddha, as long as In this life, he followed the old monk to practice hard, and he was able to obtain the Dao. And in this life, it was also because he chose to be reborn in your womb, which made you a great blessing and changed your fate. Otherwise... as early as four years ago, you It has already passed away, and the soul has returned to the underworld. The old monk came to take away the son for his own benefit, not to separate you from your beloved son."
Yuan An's words made Su Yan stunned for a moment.
