After driving for two hours, we finally arrived at Zhenyuan Temple.

Mu Chuning got off the horse, looking at the building in front of him and feeling a little unfamiliar, it was not the same as the way he came before.

Looking at Mu Chuning's puzzled expression, Mo Huai knew that she must have not walked through here.

"This is the back door of the True Source Temple."

"Back door?"

No wonder he was so unfamiliar, when Mu Chuning came before, he entered from the front gate, and the first time he came to the back door, Mu Chuning couldn't help but pay a few more glances.

After tying the horse, Mo Huai walked up and took Mu Chuning's hand and said, "Let's go." And he went on.

Letting Mo Huai pull him, Mu Chuning's thoughts began to drift elsewhere again.

They enter through the back door, don't they have to say hello to the host? Or did Mo Huai not intend to let people know that he had been to Zhenyuan Temple at all?

"Lemon...... Lemon? ”

"Huh?"

Thinking about it, he suddenly felt that someone was calling him, and Mu Chuning came back to his senses and looked at Mo Huai next to him.

"What are you thinking about?" Mo Huai looked at Mu Chuning funny, just now when she saw Mu Chuning's eyes were in a trance, she called several times before she responded.

"Nothing...... Is it there? Mu Chuning felt that what she was thinking about just now was not important, so she didn't say it, thinking that Mo Huai had called herself to the place.

"Nope. I mean, when you get to the point, you can go in first, okay? ”

"Okay, don't be too nervous, the master is quite gentle."

Mu Chuning said and smiled at Mo Huai with peace of mind, she knew that Mo Huai must be a little excited now, otherwise, how could she still be a little faintly trembling when holding her hand?

"I'm not nervous, I'm just afraid that such a rash appearance will scare my aunt." Mo Huai said awkwardly and turned his head to look away.

You don't have to think about it to know that Mo Huai was guessed by herself, Mu Chuning covered her mouth and smiled secretly without saying anything more.

The two walked along the path in the forest, and soon arrived in front of the courtyard where Song Lian lived.

Li Zuo and Li You had been waiting there for a long time, and when they saw Mo Huai and Mu Chu Ning coming over, they immediately stepped forward and bowed.

"Young master, the person is inside, and he has stayed in the house since he came out once in the morning and has not come out." In order not to alarm Song Lian in the courtyard, Li Zuo deliberately reported in a low voice.

When Mu Chuning heard this, she thought to herself that the master rarely went out on weekdays, and at most he would come out in the morning to dry quilts and clothes, and it was normal to stay in the house all the time.

Before he came, Mo Huai had already told Lizuo and Liyou about the situation, so it was not surprising that Mu Chuning appeared.

Mo Huai nodded, then turned his head to look at Mu Chuning.

"I'll probe out in a moment, and you'll go in." After Mu Chuning finished instructing, he raised his feet and walked towards the courtyard.

Mo Huai nodded knowingly, his eyes staring at the departing back.

Entering the courtyard, Mu Chuning knocked on the door as before, and waited until he heard a response from inside before entering.

"Who?" Song Lian asked inside, who will come at this time?

"Master, it's me." Mu Chuning replied.

"Chu Lemon? Come on in. Although Song Lian wondered how Mu Chuning would appear at this time, he thought that he would come in and talk about it.

After hearing Song Lian say let him in, Mu Chuning gently pushed open the door and walked in, but he didn't close the door as usual.

As soon as I entered, I remembered Song Lian's inquiring voice.

"What's wrong with Chu Ning?"

"I just want to come and see you, master."

Seeing Song Lian get up and look at herself suspiciously, Mu Chuning felt a little weak when she spoke.

"No, it's okay, why did you come here at this time?" Song Lian said, glancing at the door that had not been closed.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on." As he spoke, he poured a glass of water for Mu Chuning.

Originally, I wanted to lay the groundwork and then tell Song Lian about Mohuai, but I didn't think that Song Lian guessed that he was coming for something.

Helpless, Mu Chuning had no choice but to go directly to the topic, and he didn't know if Mo Huai outside was ready.

"Actually, it's not about me that I'm here, it's about you, master." Mu Chuning stepped forward and said seriously.

"About me?" Song Lian didn't understand what was going on for a while.

"Yes, I brought someone with me, and you'll know what's going on when you see him." After Mu Chuning finished speaking, he walked to the door.

Poked his head out and glanced at Mo Huai outside the door, motioning for him to come in.

Mo Huai, who didn't expect Mu Chuning to let himself in so quickly, was still stunned, but he quickly reacted.

After tidying up his clothes, he walked forward slowly.

Song Lian sat there quietly watching Mu Chuning go out and come in, but his eyes were staring at the door with some expectation, wondering who was coming to see him.

Mo Huai slowly walked into the room, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw Song Lian sitting on the soft couch.

The two of them looked at each other, and they couldn't help but be stunned at the same time.

Mo Huai finally saw Song Lian's face, although he was not as young and energetic as he saw when he was a child, he was generally familiar with it.

And Song Lian felt that this person was a little familiar as soon as Mo Huai came in, and there was a trace of thought in his heart, but he was not sure.

staring at Mo Huai's face tightly, he involuntarily got off the soft couch and stood there, never moving his steps to take a closer look.

"Master, do you remember who he is?" Mu Chuning asked softly, if she didn't speak, she didn't know how long the two of them would have to be stunned before they came back to their senses.

Song Lian came back to his senses when he heard this, looked at Mo Huai uncertainly and asked, "Are you, Xiaohuai?" ”

"It's me, aunt, do you still recognize me?" When Mo Huai heard the nickname he hadn't seen for a long time, he couldn't help but be a little excited, Song Lian could still recognize himself!

"It's really you, Xiao Huai has grown so big." Song Lian only felt a sour feeling in his heart, and stepped forward to grab Mo Huai's arm to take a closer look at Mo Huai's appearance.

Mo Huai didn't dodge, just let Song Lian watch, he could feel Song Lian's hand holding his hand trembling slightly.

He is in the same mood as Song Lian now, he is happy and excited because he has seen his relatives, not to mention that he has been looking for so long.

Mu Chuning walked out playfully, and gently closed the door by the way, leaving the space for them to reminisce about.

"Come, sit down, and my aunt will bring you some delicious food." Song Lian pulled Mo Huai to the soft couch and hurriedly found some snacks to come out.

"Auntie, I don't need to drink something." Mo Huai looked at Song Lian, who was busy, and thought that when he was a child, he liked to pester her all day long to buy delicious food for himself, maybe in Song Lian's eyes, he still loved to eat as much as he did when he was a child.

Song Lian looked around and remembered that he didn't have any snacks here, only some dried sweet potatoes that had been dried a few days ago.

I took it out of a bowl and put it in front of Mo Huai, and said a little embarrassed: "Auntie, there is nothing to eat here, only this dried sweet potato, next time Auntie will make it for you." ”

Mo Huai shook his head amusefully when he saw this, this was really his familiar aunt.

"It's okay, this one isn't bad." Mo Huai said and picked up a piece and sent it to his mouth.

"Then eat more." Song Lian said with a smile, with a rare look of love in his eyes.

After eating for a while, Mo Huai stopped moving, looked up at Song Lian and said, "Auntie, have you been staying here all these years?" ”

Song Lian was stunned, what should have come has come after all.

"I ...... I started living here four years ago. Song Lian lowered his head as he spoke.

"You haven't been back since you got married, and your mother is worried about you, and I've been looking for you for a long time. Auntie, what exactly have you been through? Mo Huai looked at Song Lian eagerly, wondering what made her change so much and live in the True Source Temple.

Song Lian looked at Mo Huai, pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled bitterly, before slowly telling what she had experienced over the years.

After Song Lian got married, it was not that she didn't think about going back to the Mo family to have a look, but her in-laws didn't let her go back at all.

Her husband is a scholar who has to study all day to prepare for the next year's scientific examination.

Although their husband and wife do love each other very much, because her husband is busy reading books all day and rarely has sex with her, she has not been able to conceive half a child for so long.

The husband's father died early, and the mother also worked hard to pull her son to grow up, thinking that marrying a daughter-in-law would give her a big fat boy to continue the incense, but I didn't expect that there was no news.

gradually began to not give Song Lian any good looks, and Cheng Ri knew that he was turning a corner to sarcastically mock Song Lian, and threw all the housework at home to Song Lian to do.

originally thought that she would be able to go home to see her relatives during the Chinese New Year, but she didn't expect her mother-in-law to obstruct her in every possible way and not let her go out, saying that if she didn't give birth to a grandchild, she wouldn't want to leave home half a step away, unless she reconciled with her son.

So Song Lian suffered a lot after marrying into the scholar's family, but her husband still loved her and often said something to comfort her.

said that when he succeeds in the imperial examination, he can take her to live a good life, and he will also have his own mansion, so that he will not be so angry as living in the same courtyard as his mother.

With her husband's relief, Song Lian had no choice but to continue to swallow her anger, and two years passed like this.

When it came to the imperial examination, the whole family was looking forward to a good ranking that the scholar could take the exam to enter Beijing as an official, but who knew that in the end, the scholar still fell off the list.

He studied hard day and night just to wait for this day but still failed, if he wanted to take the exam again, he had to wait for ten years, and the scholar who couldn't bear the blow fainted angrily on the spot, and he couldn't afford to be sick.

On the advantage that her son couldn't pass the exam and fell ill, her mother-in-law insulted Song Lian again, and put all the fault on Song Lian.

Her husband was sick in bed, how could Song Lian have the heart to argue so much with her mother-in-law, she only took care of her husband wholeheartedly, and wanted him to get better soon.

I thought that I knew some medical skills, and it was not a problem to make my husband better, but who knew that the scholar was psychologically unable to get over the hurdles and had no perseverance to live at all.

No matter how hard Song Lian tried, it was to no avail. Not long after, her husband died.

On the day of her husband's funeral, if someone hadn't stopped her, her mother-in-law would have pounced on her and beat her, and although she couldn't beat her, she cursed heartbreakingly, all because she had lost her son.

Song Lian only felt that his world had collapsed, and he had no strength to cry, and his whole person seemed to have entered a state of chaos.
