Chapter 313: Same but Not Harmonious
Sun Luban looked at Cao Miao's side face, and it was rare that he didn't say anything.
She also knew in her heart that Cao Miao and Mrs. Sun turned their faces in public, and the basis for cooperation was gone. Mrs. Sun gave her the task, but did not mention Cao Miao, obviously not having much confidence.
She didn't have confidence either. Even though Cao Miao's attitude eased in the carriage not long ago, she still couldn't grasp Cao Miao's thoughts. This is an elusive person, a peer she has never met before. She had only encountered such a situation in her father, Sun Quan.
They are always unfathomable and elusive. Unsettling and fascinating, just like her name, Big Tiger, an elegant and dangerous beast.
"Go back. The training, Liu Chen and Zhihua will continue as usual. After two days, let Ah Hu go with him to demonstrate the technique of three-person combined attack. You and Lu Hong and Sun Qing are responsible for the investigation of the case, and I won't ask more, so as not to cause extraneous complications and unpleasantness. ”
Cao Miao turned around and walked to the hall, took two steps, turned around and said, "Tell your aunt, I will continue to stay in the camp until your father becomes emperor." If she still wants to stop me then, then ask her to be prepared and arrange more people, especially with her big bow. ”
Sun Luban followed, and Cao Miao said again: "Princess, I have a word to tell, it may be a little presumptuous." ”
Sun Luban's eyes flickered. "You say."
"You're not fit to be in charge of the Relief Camp, so let's find something else to do."
Sun Luban felt a strong sense of loss in his heart, and he involuntarily lowered his head and stirred his hands together. "Why?"
Cao Miao's eyes showed a rare gentleness, and her voice became soft. "You have been pampered since you were a child, and you have never tasted the pain of the world. What you see is the bright and beautiful side, and you don't know that there is a dark and ugly side in the world, so how can you figure out these unsightly things? It's not something that can be done with hard work, and the cost is too great, I'd rather you never understand this, be happy, or even live a stupid life. ”
Sun Luban opened his mouth and swallowed back the words that came to his lips. Cao Miao is right, he, like his aunt, is a hard-working person. My aunt met someone unladylike, and she was half a waste of life. Although Cao Miao is the prince of Wei, he has tasted no less hardships in life than his aunt.
Poor man.
Sun Luban looked at Cao Miao's back, saw loneliness, saw pain, and saw helplessness hidden under the toughness. She really wanted to rush forward, hug Cao Miao, comfort him, and let him vent the pain in her heart. But for some reason, she couldn't move.
She was afraid that she would not be able to bear it.
She watched Cao Miao return to the inner room and gently closed the door, leaving only darkness in front of her.
A world had just opened a crack in front of her, and it had closed with a bang.
——
Sun Luban didn't know how he left the courtyard and how he returned to the official house.
The moment she stood in front of Mrs. Sun, she could no longer control her emotions, threw herself into Mrs. Sun's arms, and cried bitterly. She cried so much that she couldn't breathe, tears soaked Mrs. Sun's clothes, and Mrs. Sun's nose was sour and her heart hurt so much that she couldn't speak.
It was as if she saw herself. When she learned that Sun Quan and Zhou Yu had made a plan to dedicate her to Liu Bei, she was like this, throwing herself into the arms of her sister-in-law Qiao, crying bitterly, but to no avail, she could only embark on the journey to the west.
When she pieced together Cao Miao's reaction from Sun Luban's intermittent narration, she was like a lightning strike, and she didn't know what to say.
Cao Miao is right, people who are good at this kind of thing are hard-working people who have been hurt. Only this kind of person will look at the world with a dark eye, think about the bad in everything, have a strong suspicion of anyone, and it is difficult to have real trust.
Sometimes, it's inevitable to overdo it.
She didn't trust Cao Miao, and Cao Miao didn't trust her either. Cao Miao left a back hand and did not confess everything to her. Why didn't she have reservations about Cao Miao? The difference between the two is that Cao Miao can understand her and maintain restraint, but she never considers Cao Miao's feelings.
In terms of age, she is an elder.
But in terms of mental calculation, Cao Miao is the one standing on a high place. He was looking down on her, so he could understand her and put up with her. Even when such a thing happened, Cao Miao took the initiative to give in and once again closed himself in that small courtyard to avoid the conflict from intensifying.
Mrs. Sun hugged Sun Luban tightly, and stopped talking several times.
A familiar scene once appeared in another person's body. It's just that the man looked down on her, watched her every move coldly, and finally easily defeated her, trampled her dignity under his feet, but never looked at her squarely.
It was as if she had seen those wise eyes again, looking down at her from above, shining with confidence and indifference.
In contrast, Cao Miao's eyes were a little more stubborn, a little more sympathetic, and a little more warm.
"Big Tiger." When Sun Luban's crying gradually stopped, Mrs. Sun patted Sun Luban's shoulder. "You tell him that my agreement with him is still valid, and as long as he can help you solve this case, I will tell him the whereabouts of Yinfan."
"Auntie, can I still stay in the Relief Camp?"
"Why not?" Mrs. Sun lowered her head and wiped the tears from Sun Luban's face. "You can stay in the Relief Camp for as long as you want, and I'll help you. Of course, it would be better if he helped. ”
Sun Luban raised his head, teary eyes. "Auntie believes him?"
"I don't believe it." Madame Sun shook her head. "But I'm willing to give him a chance to prove himself."
"How can he prove that my aunt will believe it?"
Mrs. Sun laughed silently. "He'll understand." She paused, and then said, "Maybe one day, you will understand." When the time comes, you will be able to take my place and take charge of the camp of troubles. ”
"But I ......"
There is some truth in what he said, but it is not true. There are exceptions to everything, it depends on whether you can calm down and study diligently. ”
Sun Luban was skeptical, but Mrs. Sun said that she still had a chance to take charge of the troublesome camp, and she was still very happy. Whatever the purpose, she was not willing to give up this opportunity. As long as there is the slightest possibility, she has to desperately grasp it.
As the night deepened, the aunt and nephew whispered, gradually detached from the topic and talked about family affairs. Sun Luban asked Mrs. Sun a question: If you didn't marry Liu Bei back then, who would you want to marry?
Mrs. Sun glared at Sun Luban, but she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
In an instant, memories flooded her in and drowned her.
Sun Luban looked at Mrs. Sun, whose expression was different from the past, and suddenly felt a little envious. As far as she knows, there are too many heroes and heroes among Mrs. Sun's peers, and picking out any one of them is beyond the reach of her peers. Even her husband Zhou Xun, who is a leader in his age, is still far from his father Zhou Yu.
"Actually, I didn't think about getting married at that time." Mrs. Sun retracted her mind and said quietly: "What I want is to gallop on the battlefield and make contributions like my father and brother. I always thought that what a man could do, I could do the same, who would have thought ......"
Mrs. Sun let out a long sigh.
