Chapter 25: Why is this so?

"A new silk village? When did our lady of the Ran Mansion care so much about the shop? Ran Linzong's expression was always so calm, just like his feelings for Du Yuexian for more than ten years, plain and unremarkable, without any waves. If life is destined to be so colorless, then what does she Du Yuexian want? But it seems that this master of hers is not without interest, but he is unwilling to exert half a point on her.

In the eyes of outsiders, they are a respectful husband and wife, and they are a fairy couple praised by everyone. But she doesn't need such respect, what she needs is a husband who is flesh and blood, affectionate and feeling, not a cold stone man. She couldn't touch his heart, she couldn't feel his temperature. Even if they stay together every day, even if they are happy in bed, they can't feel the passion he deserves.

"It's not that I care...... It's just that in the past few days, the master has been focused on Miss Ling'er's affairs, and I don't want to disturb the master, so I went out to take a look. Du Yuexian looked at the indifferent face that made her a little afraid, if she knew the situation today, would she still stick to the choice she made more than ten years ago?

"Ling'er...... Do you remember what day it was? Ran Linzong let out a long sigh, and a blue-gray dark satin robe was secretly glowing.

"How could I not remember? How dare I not remember! Du Yuexian couldn't control her emotions a little, she didn't like such days, if it was possible, she would rather not live such days!

"It stands to reason that you are also her mother, do you think it is appropriate to talk like that?" Ran Linzong's fierce gaze swept over, and Du Yuexian immediately felt his displeasure, but how could she really be happy herself?

"Then I dare to ask my master, do you think this is appropriate for me? I understand the master's painstaking efforts, and I understand the master's feelings of losing his daughter, but how did the master ever think about my feelings? Eleven years, sir, can you tell me how long these days will last? A low sobbing faintly came, Ran Linzong's thick eyebrows sank slightly, his thin forehead wrinkled slightly, and his green beard trembled slightly.

There was a deathly silence in the room, only Du Yuexian seemed to be sobbing, and Ran Linzong's eyes were slightly raised, and a ray of suspicious light passed through a thin slit. She said she didn't like it, so how could he enjoy such a family? In the eyes of outsiders, he is the owner of a successful silk village and a happy old man with a young wife, but in the bottom of his heart, how can he feel the love between husband and wife? It's not that you have to compare, it's just that the reality is really so tormenting!

Ran Linzong admits that he is a stubborn person, and he is even a little stubborn about his loved ones, but that is the most true and simple persistence in his heart! He didn't want to give up that original sincerity! More than ten years ago, he wanted to be honest with her, but ...... The past is unbearable, and now he is willing to be ruthless to himself.

"It's not that I have to go to see any newly opened shops, it's just that the shop was opened by Lan Hongda's son Lan Yi. Although it was opened by Lan Yi on the surface, Lan Hongda, who was a father, couldn't sit idly by. So, we can't be underestimated. Seeing that Ran Linzong refused to speak for a long time, Du Yuexian's formation was defeated after all.

In this house, her status, her scenery, and even the scenery of her mother's family depend on the person in front of her, and she can make her lose her temper, provided that he can tolerate it, if not, then she still has to restrain herself.

"I also want to thank Mrs. Ran for that." Hearing this thanks, Du Yuexian's heart fluttered for a while, she knew that this was the bottom line that could not be touched, so she had already thought of a reason that she thought was sufficient, but now it seems that it still won't work!

Yes, what day is it? This is very important to Ran Lin Sect! Today is his daughter's birthday, and if she hadn't lost it, if she was still there, she would have been sixteen years old by now. Sixteen years ago today, at the end of spring when the sun was shining, his first child came into the world crying, bringing endless joy and happiness to this happy family. Ran Linzong and his ex-wife were very fond of this child, and named it Ling'er, which means smart and clever.

It's a pity that the good times don't last long, the sky doesn't follow people's wishes, Ling'er's mother died of illness a year later, that is Ran Linzong's wife, very affectionate, her departure is a big blow to Ran Linzong, Yiren is gone, the deceased is gone, and Ran Linzong in pain is slowly licking his scars. What can make Ran Linzong recover quickly is not only the heavy responsibility of the family, but also Ran Ling'er, who looks like his deceased wife one day. Gradually, Ran Linzong turned his nostalgia for his wife into a caring concern for Ling'er, she was his everything.

Three years later, Ran Linzong remarried, and his second wife was now Du Yuexian, and he had no other requirements for her, just hoping to take care of their Ling'er! But who would have thought that before this Du Yuexian passed through the door for a year, his Ling'er would disappear inexplicably! He searched the entire capital, and searched the nearby villages and towns, but all the news came to naught! He collapsed, he hated, he went crazy! It wasn't a child, it was his sustenance, yes, the most precious and last gift left to him by his deceased wife in the world!

The original remorse, helplessness, and madness have all passed quietly, but in the past eleven years, Ran Linzong's heart has not forgotten that child for a moment! His search never stopped, but it still didn't come to fruition! Eleven years have passed, and not a single day has passed for Ran Linzong's soul. How many times in the middle of the night he dreamed back, he saw his gentle and virtuous wife turn into a ghost and come to collect debts, begging for the daughter she conceived and gave birth to in October! How many times did he wake up from a nightmare, dreaming that the poor child was being abused, being **, crying and screaming!

Pain will not be diminished by not being told; In the past, you don't forget it completely because you don't get to mention it.

"Master, don't treat me like this, okay? I've done everything I had to do, I've been punished for my negligence, isn't that enough? Du Yuexian quietly peeled off his own piece of face to cover the wound, and an ugly scar appeared, it was Du Yuexian's gold medal for avoiding death, although I don't know how long it will last, but at least every time before, it will be used to the extreme.

"Yes, such an ugly scar on the face of such a beautiful lady of mine! I think about how flawless this face was at the beginning, but it's a pity...... You should hate me, right? Ran Linzong got up slowly, he came to Du Yuexian's approach, his wise eyes looked carefully at the scar, it wasn't looking at the scar, it seemed to be appreciating some masterpiece!

With a pungent breath blowing on his face in the warmth, Du Yuexian shuddered, it has never been like this, it has never been like this in the past ten years! Ran Linzong, what's wrong? Her legs trembled a little, and her whole body shook slightly. She felt her shoulders being gently hugged, it was supposed to be a caress between lovers, but why couldn't she feel the temperature?

"Don't dare! How dare I hate my lord? I just hate myself for being too careless, even the old man...... No...... Even our Ling'er didn't take good care of it! Du Yuexian gritted her teeth, she didn't know why it didn't work so much today!

"You didn't take good care of her, otherwise you wouldn't be so confused to call a subordinate to take her away!" Ran Linzong was serious, and his tone was clearly blaming! Blame for not cutting it for more than ten years! No, this year's blame seems to be better than in previous years.

"Yes, my lord is right, it's my foolishness!" Du Yuexian's teeth were trembling.

"You don't have to blame yourself so much, you don't need to be afraid, of course I won't be angry with you if it has nothing to do with you! However, if one day I find out that the truth is not actually your unintentional, but intentional, then you will not only damage this face, but also your life...... It's not right, and the life of your Du family! Ran Linzong smiled lightly, his hand lightly crossed the scar, Du Yuexian felt that it was no longer a hand, it was the claw of the devil who urged her life, she took two steps back with a scream, and stood there in a daze.

For many years, she had defended this matter and harmed herself, and he thought he had believed it. But today, why did he say that? What does he mean by that? Or did he catch some kind of handle? It shouldn't be yet, they did that thing seamlessly, and now even the people who handled it were wiped out by them! No, there's another person...... But it was a cliff with no chance of survival, and he couldn't have survived! Ran Linzong will definitely not have any tricks! If he had, he wouldn't be what he is now! He's just trying to scare himself! Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! You didn't do anything wrong! Du Yuexian's heart was fighting fiercely, and she didn't notice that Ran Linzong's eyes were quietly watching her.

"What? Mrs. Ran was scared? Ran Linzong smiled coldly.

"I ...... What am I afraid of? Du Yuexian lowered her eyes, and her eyes were full of panic that could not be concealed.

"It's good not to be afraid, and I don't want you to be afraid! After all, we have been a husband and wife for more than ten years, and we still have Ling'er and Hao'er! Even if you don't want to be a good lady of Ling'er Hao'er, why can't you not want to be a good lady of Ran Linzong, right? Ran Linzong got up, he stood beside Du Yuexian, and put one arm on Du Yuexian's trembling shoulder.

Although the man next to him is more than ten years older than Du Yuexian, there is no age disobedience when they stand together, but why do they feel that they have a sense of disagreement?

"What the master said is...... It's ......," Du Yuexian replied incoherently.

"Okay, today is our Ling'er's birthday, should I, the father, and you, the mother, do anything for the child?" Ran Linzong glanced at Du Yuexian and said.

"Yes, all, all listen to the master."
