[Shadow]
Step by step, she walked extremely carefully, gestures, she was vivid, with a smile and a smile, all of which had a specific pattern.
That pattern is called laughter.
The stepfather likes to watch her play Xiaoxiao, as long as the stepfather likes it, she can do anything.
"Miss Diao Chan, Lord Situ ...... again" Yahuan's voice carried twelve points of anxiety.
Diao Chan was slightly startled, turned around and rushed back to her father-in-law's room, maybe she didn't pay attention, even the moment she turned around, she seemed to smile.
In the room, Wang Yun looked at the water in the wooden basin in a daze reflecting his face. After a while, he bent down and lowered his head, the tip of his nose touched the cold water, he shrank slightly, it was really cold......
The water ran over the tip of his nose, over his lips, over his eyes......
I can't breathe.
On that day, when Xiaoxiao was wiped out by the water in the cold moat, did she feel the same way?
"Father-in-law...... Father-in-law! A panicked female voice, who felt himself being held firmly from behind.
Wang Yun straightened up in a daze, turned his head, and the water droplets dripped from his hair to his neck, and then he saw a face that was so familiar that he would even dream of it.
"Laugh...... Laughing? Wang Yun smiled slightly and reached out to stroke her cheek.
The familiar face immediately turned sad.
Wang Yun stretched out his hand and hugged her into his arms: "Why don't you laugh?" ”
That man, always as gentle as jade, spotless man, only when he is drunk, will he be so embarrassed, only when he is drunk, will he hold her, and then ...... Call her "smile".
"Father-in-law, the cicada is waiting for you to change your clothes, and your clothes are wet." Diao Chan smiled shallowly as he said.
"Hmm." At this time, Wang Yun was incredibly obedient.
With his fingers moving smartly, he unbuttoned the splashed white robe, and Diao Chan carefully dried his long water-soaked hair with a soft cloth towel.
"Father-in-law, if you drink wine in the future, you can't stuff your face in the basin of water, what if the cicada happens to be not around......" Her eyes were slightly red, and her voice trembled lightly, with fear.
"Call me Dust." Wang Yun played with her long hair with one hand, squinted, smiled gently, and smiled like that.
"Father-in-law......" was slightly stunned, and Diao Chan opened his mouth.
"Dust." Wang Yun is stubborn like a child.
"Alright, Dust." She followed his will, lest she disobey him.
"Yes, good." Wang Yun nodded and smiled.
"Don't put your face in the water in the future."
"Okay."
Diao Chan's watery eyes were stained with a touch of sorrow, and when he woke up, he forgot about it, and so on, and she was afraid that one day her father-in-law would drown in that shallow basin......
She was originally a maid holding a sable hat in the palace, and on that day, she shattered the queen mother's jade ruyi and was punished to kneel outside the queen mother's palace to listen to the punishment.
She will not forget that day, the weather was very hot, and she knew that she was calling over and over again in the trees, and she knelt outside the Queen Mother's hall tremblingly, and the blazing sun was blazing every inch of the palace like a blazing sun.
The mouth was dry, the eyes were black, and everyone was so busy, so busy that they forgot the existence of her little palace maid, and they were so busy that they forgot that there was a sin maid waiting for the forgiveness of those high royal families...... She thought she would die on her knees in this place, never leaving the court......
Suddenly, my jaw was slightly cold, and in a trance, I looked up and saw a pair of incredibly gentle eyes, such gentle eyes, in that indifferent court, who would care about a humble palace maid like her? Who would give her such gentle eyes?
"Come home with me." He looked at her, and even his voice was incredibly gentle.
Family?
With that kind of look, that kind of voice, if this was just a dream, then she would want to spend the rest of her life in this unreal dream......
As if she had been tricked, she got up, her knees were sore, her feet bent, and she fell weakly into a wide embrace.
The one who was dressed in white like snow had a faint fragrance in his arms.
She sank.
Even though, it wasn't long before she knew that she was only a shadow. Those gentle eyes looked at her, but they were looking through her, at another woman.
She was jealous of the woman, but she hated her. Because as long as the woman's name is mentioned, there will be emotions in the eyes of the father-in-law, who have always been gentle, and that emotion is called sadness.
So, she knew that her father-in-law had a woman living in his heart. The woman's name is Xiaoxiao. And her father-in-law called her, "Diao Chan". She was originally a maid holding a sable hat, and her father-in-law just came up with a name, but she was extremely happy.
That happiness exists only because of the Father-in-law.
Until, one day, the woman named Xiaoxiao really appeared in front of her. She finally understood why her father-in-law wanted to save her that day, in the palace, under the scorching sun.
Because, she has a smiling face, an identical face. It's just that there is a scar on that face. That fly in the ointment scar is the pain in the heart of the stepfather.
The stepfather said that he would use her face as medicine to heal Xiaoxiao.
She doesn't know medical skills, is it a face change?
The stepfather is going to ruin her face? Ruined the only thing she could keep him? Although sad, Diao Chan understands that it is precisely because of this face that is exactly the same as Xiaoxiao that she can stay by her father-in-law's side, even if it is just to look at him from a distance, even if it is just a brief misunderstanding and tenderness after being drunk.
However, with Xiaoxiao, the father-in-law doesn't want her anymore! If she hadn't smiled, would her father-in-law see her existence? If that's the case, let the laughter die.
For the first time in her life, she saw how ugly she was, so ugly that she traded someone else's life for her own happiness. And she soon got her retribution......
At that moment, the father-in-law looked at her with a cold look in his eyes, as if he was going to kill her and bury her, so anxious to completely break away from his father-in-law, but in exchange for his father-in-law's complete disgust.
thought that Xiaoxiao's death could allow her to get all the thoughts of her father-in-law, but it turned out to be self-inflicted.
On that day, her father-in-law took her hand and walked into the Taishi's Mansion. The rumored tyrannical and ferocious Master Dong was entrenched in a high position, with a bearded face and shaggy and messy hair.
He was closing his eyes and recuperating, like a sleeping tiger, which was terrifying.
She began to tremble, and she hesitated to move forward.
"I've seen Master Dong." Pulling Diao Chan with one hand, Wang Yun smiled gently.
Covered with tulle, looking at Dong Zhuo with a cold face on the high position, the famous Dong Taishi who was known for his brutality, Diao Chan couldn't stop trembling.
The eyes slowly opened, and there was a faint blood red in the dark brown eyes.
Turning his head to look at her, Dong Zhuo's expression changed slightly, the blood red quickly disappeared, and the pair of cold brown eyes had a temperature.
Under the veil, Diao Chan bit her lip and felt her fingertips pierce deep into her palm.
When she came, her father-in-law explained that her name was Xiaoxiao, and her task was to kill Dong Zhuo.
Wang Yun raised his hand and gently pulled off Diao Chan's veil.
"Laugh?!" Slightly stunned, ecstasy covered Dong Zhuo's brown eyes, and the name that made Diao Chan frightened came out of Dong Zhuo's mouth.
Since then, she has changed her name to smile? From then on, she is no longer her father-in-law's Diao Chan, but Dong Zhuo's smile?
She knew that her father-in-law had completely rejected her, and she knew that that was the most cruel punishment her father-in-law had given her.
