"Sister! Why are you back!" You Jiamu stood up suddenly and ran quickly towards You Yuzhi.
Mrs. You over there heard what You Jiamu said and turned to look over.
You Yuji didn't care about her brother running over, and kept looking at her mother. When her mother's eyes fell on her and the two of them met, she truly felt that the person sitting in the courtyard was her mother.
She ran towards her mother quickly, squatted beside her, put her hands on her mother's knees, looked up at her without blinking, afraid that her mother would fall asleep again the next moment.
"Mom, are you feeling better?" You Yuji held her mother's hand and stroked it repeatedly. She tried hard to put on a smile, but her voice still couldn't hide the slight tremor.
Madam You took her daughter's hand in hers and called out "Yuanyuan". Her voice was very soft, revealing a sense of weakness and illness.
"It's lively today, come out and watch the fireworks."
You Yuji hadn't heard her mother speak a complete sentence for a long time. As hard as she was, she still shed tears in public. She turned her face away quickly, wiping away the moisture from the corners of her eyes as the fireworks rose into the sky.
She turned her head and looked at her mother again, with a very bright smile on her face. She said, "This year's fireworks are very beautiful."
You Heng said at the side: "What a coincidence, your mother just came out and you came back."
You Heng smiled carelessly and did not ask why You Yuji suddenly ran back home at this time. However, Jiao Yushu frowned slightly and his eyes stayed on You Yuji for a moment longer.
"Sister, it's great that you're back!" You Jiamu ran over and happily put his hand on his sister's shoulder.
The cool night breeze blew against You Yuji's white fox fur coat. The soft fur gently caressed her neck, reminding her of the cool night breeze. She hurriedly grabbed her mother's hand and asked, "Mom, are you cold?"
Madam You shook her head, raised her hand and touched her daughter's face. She gently tucked a strand of hair that was messed up by the wind into her ear. Every tiny movement was what You Yuji had longed for.
You Jiamu said at the side: "The new doctor that Brother Zhao found changed the prescription for my mother. My mother is indeed much better and can even get out of bed!"
You Yuji knew what You Jiamu said. Zhao Sheng brought an old doctor with superb medical skills from his hometown. He was indebted to this old doctor. When the old doctor heard that Jiang Chun was pregnant, he took the responsibility to help with pulse diagnosis and pregnancy. Zhao Sheng was concerned about Madam You, so he asked this old doctor to come and see Madam You a few days ago and change her prescription.
Before, You Yuji dipped a handkerchief in the wine brewed by Fang Qingyi and sent it to the doctor beside Jiang Chun for examination.
You Yuzhi thought of Si Que who came with her. She reluctantly let go of her mother's hand, stood up and pulled Si Que to sit over.
On the long table was a half-eaten New Year's Eve dinner. According to the custom of Si State, the New Year's Eve dinner was indeed eaten at midnight, unlike the custom of Chen State, where the New Year's Eve dinner was not much different from the usual dinner time.
Madam Liu had already instructed the maid to quickly place two more chairs and tableware. You Yuji pulled Si Que to sit down and said with a smile: "Princess Que and I were originally out of the house to watch the fireworks, but suddenly I wanted to come back and take a look, so I brought him back with me."
You Heng didn't really care that You Yuji brought Si Que back. He told the maid beside him to pour wine, looked at You Yuji and said, "You should have come back earlier! Go home earlier to celebrate the New Year! What's the point of staying in the Jinnan Palace! In a few days..."
Jiao Yushu coughed lightly.
You Heng then remembered that he had not yet explained You Yuji's divorce to his aunt. He immediately stopped talking, took a gulp of wine, and laughed and praised: "Good wine!"
If one has a naturally loud voice, then this laugh might be louder than the sound of firecrackers set off by a child in the yard just across the wall.
Madam You glanced at You Heng, then looked back at her daughter and said gently, "You've come such a long way. Drink some hot tea to warm yourself up first."
He said so many words in one breath, and as soon as he finished, he had to turn his face away and coughed intermittently.
You Yuji temporarily ignored her mother's weakness, suppressed the tears in her eyes, and went to pour tea. She smiled and said in a submissive tone: "Well, I'll listen to you, mother."
She poured a cup of hot tea and drank it seriously.
Hot tea goes down your throat and warms your lungs.
Mrs. You had stopped coughing and looked at her daughter gently as she drank her tea. She continued, "And your friend too."
Si Que looked over.
"Yeah." You Yuzhi nodded with a smile, helped pour a cup of tea and handed it to Si Que.
Si Que took it, still looking at Madam You, and said, "Thank you for the tea, Madam."
Mrs. You nodded kindly.
Si Que drank this cup of tea very seriously.
Fireworks and firecrackers were being set off everywhere tonight, making it very noisy. Madam You felt more relaxed today, and she rarely went out of the house, standing in the courtyard, watching the fireworks and Jiamu. She didn't expect You Yuji to come back at this time, which was a pleasant surprise for her.
You Heng, Jiao Yushu and You Jiamu were still eating. Mrs. You couldn't eat any more, but You Yuji had already eaten before she came. She pushed her mother's wheelchair and took her mother to the back garden for a walk.
Before leaving, Madam You looked at You Yuji in confusion and asked softly, "Isn't your friend coming with you?"
—After the mother and daughter left, there were still three men left at the dining table. As a girl, it seemed inconvenient for Princess Que to stay there, right
You Yuji was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Si Que and asked, "Should we ask the maid to take you to the guest room to sit down first?"
Before Si Que could answer, she immediately changed the topic: "Come with us to the backyard. I have a lot of flowers in my backyard."
"Okay." Si Que was very satisfied with You Yuji's idea after he changed his mind. He stood up and followed You Yuji.
Yu Jiamu, biting the ox leg, muttered indistinctly: "No wonder everyone says that my sister has a good relationship with Princess Que. She even brought her home..."
Because her mother loved flowers, after her mother fell ill, You Yuji was even more careful in instructing the servants to take good care of the flowers in the back garden, for fear that after her mother recovered, she would be sad to find that the flowers she had carefully raised did not grow well.
As the three of them walked in the garden, You Yuji couldn't help but sigh, "Mother's health will get better and better."
Madam You looked at the carefully tended potted plants in front of her and said softly, "Yuanyuan, I dreamed of your father last night."
You Yuji couldn't help but stop.
She has always known that her mother's illness was mainly caused by her emotional problems.
She endured the trembling pain in her heart, smiled and walked around to her mother, squatted in front of her, and joked with a smile as she did in the past: "Mother is missing father again."
Mrs. You stroked her daughter's hand repeatedly and whispered, "I always dream about your father. He lives in my dreams and doesn't want to leave."
She smiled gently again and added weakly, "I don't want him to leave either."
You Yuji could hardly hold back her tears, so she buried her face in her mother's lap to hide her tears.
Si Que looked at You Yujie in surprise, staring at her fragility at this moment.
Madam You gently patted her daughter's back and said slowly: "In the dream, your father asked me if you and Jiamu were okay."
She looked at her daughter lying on her knees, her heart was filled with sadness. She had been ill for too long and had forgotten everything. She had lost her husband, and her two children had also lost their father.
She is not a good mother.
"Yuanyuan." She gently stroked her daughter's thin shoulders, "Mother will get better."
You Yuji suppressed her sobs and tried to answer in a normal tone: "Yes, mother's health will get better. She will live a long life."
She slowly raised her face, the traces of tears had disappeared, revealing her usual gentle smile.
Si Que looked at You Yuji's red eyes for a while longer.
Mrs. You's health was so poor that it was rare for her to come out for such a short while today. You Yuji wanted to show her mother the flowers she used to like growing vigorously. But out of concern for her mother's health and seeing that she looked listless, she had no choice but to send her back to her room.
Madam Liu came up to ask, "Will you stay at home tonight? Do you need to prepare a guest room for Princess Que?"
That night, You Yuji really didn't care much about Si Que. Hearing this, she turned around and looked at Si Que. Si Que stood in the yard, the night wind blowing his snow-white skirt. He lowered his head, and it was unclear what his expression was, and no one knew what he was thinking.
After saying a few words to Aunt Liu, she walked towards Si Que and said, "We are not going back tonight. You are not feeling well, so go to my room and rest for a while. I will go back after I settle this place."
Aunt Liu was a little surprised that You Yuji let Princess Que live in her boudoir. She thought that maybe You Yuji would stay with the lady at night this time as before? She didn't say much and immediately ordered the maid to entertain Princess Que.
You Yuji washed her mother herself and helped her to bed. Her mother fell asleep quickly. She sat by the bed for a while, but did not stay as Madam Liu had expected.
When she was at her mother's side, You Yuji always had a faint smile on her face. Back in her boudoir, she gradually felt tired and sad.
The door closed behind her and she leaned her back against it, sighing softly.
Si Que had just finished bathing and came out of the bathroom, wearing You Yuji's light purple pajamas, with his pajamas a little too short, revealing a small part of his cool white and slender ankles. He wore too much white, and suddenly changing into such a soft color gave him a strange and magnificent feeling.
He raised his eyes, looked at You Yuji who was leaning against the door, and said, "I thought you would be back very late."
You Yuji seemed to have just seen Si Que. Her dazed eyes gradually focused on Si Que. She suddenly walked towards Si Que quickly, with the hem of her skirt fluttering backwards.
She walked up to Si Que, put her hand on his chest, and pushed him back. Not far behind Si Que was a swing.
When You Yuji was a child, she liked swings for a while, and her father made a swing in her boudoir to please her. Later, when the family came to Chenjing, her father decorated her boudoir exactly the same as before, even making a swing that she rarely played with.
Si Que followed You Yuji's push and sat on the swing. The swaying made him realize that he was sitting on the childish swing that he had laughed at before. He subconsciously raised his hand, grasped the rope, and steadied himself.
The next moment, You Yuji leaned over, held his face, and kissed him hard. Her kiss was scorching and forceful, without any of her usual gentleness.
When You Yuji raised her legs and sat on Si Que's legs, Si Que finally came back to his senses from her aggressive kiss. He stopped the swing, held You Yuji's lower back, and let You Yuji sit on his legs.
You Yuji's kiss, which was like venting her feelings, gradually slowed down, and she let go of the hand that was holding Si Que. Her hand slowly moved down along Si Que's cheek, stroked his chest, and then moved to his waist to pull his belt.
You Yuji moved slowly, but when she touched the belt at his waist, she suddenly became impatient.
Si Que licked the blood on his lips and looked at You Yuji in front of him. She frowned slightly and lowered her eyes. Her slightly curled eyelashes hid the urgency in her eyes. Si Que raised his hand and gently stroked the red corners of You Yuji's eyes with his slightly cool fingertips.
The way she cried was so alluring that it even made Si Que think of the word "captivating" for a moment.
However, he would rather she never shed tears again, and her eyes would always be slightly raised in a smile, without redness.
You Yuji must have been too impatient, she was unable to untie the belt around Si Que's waist. Her slightly frowned brows became more and more severe. She turned around, leaned over to open the drawer, took out the scissors from the drawer, and made a click.
The scissors fell to the ground and the swing swayed.
Accompanied by You Yuzhi's tears.
For the first time, Si Que also hoped that You Yujie would get pregnant this time.
The author has something to say: Swing: I am just a weak swing and I can’t bear the weight of two people qaq and I am trembling.
