At that time, it was very quiet in Tingxi Liyuan, and it seemed that everyone had already fallen asleep.

In the Tingxi Building, Zhao Liniang sat in her room, the window was open, she sat quietly next to a few cases by the window, holding a bowl of vegetables that was almost cold, looking up at the cold stars in the night sky, with a faint sadness on her face.

Zhou Tianqi sent Lin Wan to the door of Tingxi Building, watched her walk into the small building, and then slowly went up to the second floor, walked to Zhao Liniang's side gently, helped Zhao Liniang change a bowl of hot tea, and sat opposite Zhao Liniang with a smile.

Lin Wan looked downstairs, waved his hand lightly to Zhou Tianqi, and looked at him in the dark. I saw Zhou Tianqi nodding to Lin Wan, then hooked his lips slightly, and made a farewell gesture to Zhao Liniang.

Zhao Liniang smiled faintly, nodded slightly to Zhou Tianqi, and then watched him turn around and walk away, disappearing into the darkness.

Lin Wan looked at the direction where Zhou Tianqi disappeared for a long time, and suddenly felt that there was another piece of space in his heart, and a cold wind poured into it, and he couldn't help but shiver.

Zhao Liniang frowned slightly, got up and closed the window, and asked with concern: "Wan'er, are you cold?" I closed the window, the wind outside was too cold. After a pause, he muttered in a low voice, "It's not early, we should go to sleep." I couldn't sleep just now, so I got up and sat down for a while. ”

Lin Wan shook her head gently, looked at Zhao Liniang with a smile, and said, "Mother, I'm not cold, I'll sit with you for a while, I can't sleep either." ”

Zhao Liniang nodded slightly, sat down again, let out a long breath, her eyes were lowered, and there seemed to be lingering sadness hidden under her long eyelashes. After a long time, I heard her say faintly: "When I left the capital, I thought that I would never come back...... I didn't expect to change my mind so quickly. ”

Lin Wan smiled slightly, and persuaded softly: "Mother, you left the capital to go to my master and uncle for treatment, you have recovered now, of course you want to come back." It's our home, my grandfather, my grandmother, my uncle, my cousin, my cousin, my brother, my father, and they all miss you. ”

When she heard the word "father", a complicated look flashed in Zhao Liniang's eyes, and then she smiled bitterly and said, "Although I have only been away for a few months, it is like a different world." I always feel panicked in my heart, afraid that I can't do it well and it will affect you. ”

Lin Wan held Zhao Liniang's hand, shook her head with a smile, and said, "Mother, how can you have such an idea? You just need to do it according to your heart, and you don't have to care if you do it well or not." We don't do anything for the sake of others, and we don't have to mind what others think of us. No matter what you do, you are my brother and me's dearest and most beloved mother; no matter whether you do well or not, you are the most beloved daughter of my grandfather and grandmother; as for others, it doesn't matter whether you like Zhao Liniang like this or not. The important thing is that you do what you want to do and that you feel happy and comfortable. ”

Zhao Liniang looked at her sensible and filial daughter, smiled with satisfaction, and nodded: "Wan'er said it so well! ”

Lin Wan shook her head with a smile and said, "Mother, we have all grown up, we don't need you to do anything against your own will for us, we just want you to live well and have a good time." Mother, you think more about yourself, don't always think about us, we have our own life, we know how to grasp it. If we need your help, we will definitely tell you about it, and we will not be polite to you. ”

The gloom in Zhao Liniang's eyes had gradually dissipated, she stood up with a smile, took Lin Wan's hand, and said, "Okay, my mother is sleepy." You just stay here tonight and sleep with me, it's going to be warmer for the two of you. ”

Lin Wan nodded happily, got up and hugged Zhao Liniang's arm and said coquettishly: "Mother, how do you know that Wan'er doesn't want to leave?"

Zhao Liniang pursed her lips and smiled, glanced at Lin Wan dotingly, and said with a smile: "You kid, why are you getting more and more clingy as you go?"

Lin Wan smiled coquettishly: "My mother is the most fragrant, Wan'er likes to sleep with my mother the most!" After speaking, she quickly took off her coat and got into the quilt, and then waited for Zhao Liniang to take off her clothes and go to bed.

Zhao Liniang shook her head with a chuckle, took off her coat, blew out the oil lamp on the table, and lay down beside Lin Wan.

In the dark, Zhao Liniang looked at her daughter in her arms, couldn't help but show a happy smile, slowly closed her eyes, listened to her daughter's shallow breathing, and fell asleep together.

The next day, when the genius was bright, Zhao Liniang had already gotten up and sat in front of the dresser to dress herself.

Lin Wan opened her misty eyes and quietly looked at Zhao Liniang's back, only to see that she had changed her clothes and was wearing a moon-white long dress, which was simple and comfortable and looked dignified and elegant. The long black hair hung down to the waist, still so soft and shiny. The slender waist is as soft as a girl, and it twists gently with the movement of the hand.

Zhao Liniang saw from the mirror that Lin Wan had woken up, she couldn't help but smile, turned around, and said gently: "Wan'er, are you awake?"

Lin Wan's expression was a little dazed, she looked at Zhao Liniang in a daze, and muttered in her mouth: "Mother, you are so good-looking!"

A hint of blush appeared on Zhao Liniang's face, her eyes were coquettish, and she looked like a new daughter-in-law in her early twenties.

Lin Wan suddenly sat up excitedly and shouted, "Mother, I also want you to put on makeup for me, and I also want you to dress me up beautifully!"

Zhao Liniang smiled lightly, nodded, and said, "Then you get up quickly, after breakfast, I'll help you make up." ”

Lin Wan nodded again and again, quickly got up and dressed, and asked while dressing, "Mother, have you had breakfast?"

Zhao Liniang shook her head while combing her hair, and said, "Not yet, I'll wait for you to eat together, so I haven't applied lipstick yet, and I'll apply it after eating." ”

Lin Wan looked at Zhao Liniang's delicate face seriously, nodded solemnly and said, "I didn't see it, my mother didn't apply lipstick, it looks as good as she did!"

Zhao Liniang glanced at Lin Wan with disgust, turned her back, and didn't plan to pay attention to her anymore.

There was a knock on the door outside, and then Wang Qi's voice: "Madam, are you up?

Lin Wan happily replied, "My mother and I are up, I'm afraid that the breakfast you prepared will not be enough for the two of us." ”

Wang Qi pushed open the door and walked in, and said with a smile: "Miss, I came together this morning, and I heard from the guard that you are here, sleeping in the lady's room, how can you not prepare your breakfast? However, I didn't expect that you would also get up so early." ”
