I haven't figured out how I should face my parents and fellow villagers when I go back.

Chu Mingshu thought about it carefully, and finally decided to live in Shangguan Mansion for a while.

To be honest, the living conditions here are much better than in a small mountain village...... Chu Mingshu did not leave his adoptive father and adoptive mother behind and stay in Shangcheng to enjoy himself, but it did not prevent him from trying to make himself as comfortable as possible in the context of this embarrassing situation.

It's good to stay for only a few days! Although wealth is easy to make people confused, for Chu Mingshu from another world, whether it is a golden nest or a silver nest, it is not as good as his own grass nest!

In the main room, he and Liu Chang sat face to face, both of them had confused expressions, so no one spoke.

In the end, Liu Chang finally couldn't help it, raised his little sleeve and wiped his nose: "Brother Yuan, is Changchang dreaming!"

"It's been two days since I came out, and your father and mother must be in a hurry. Chu Mingshu was more concerned about this, "I thought you came out this time with the consent of your elders." ”

Liu Chang blushed and twisted his head to the side: "If you think about it with your feet, you know, how can your father and mother agree to this kind of thing, of course, you can only sneak out!"

"It's all my fault!" Chu Mingshu blamed himself.

Liu Chang immediately shook his head and said, "Bah! It's not about Brother Yuan! Hmm...... Brother Yuan is already very pitiful! I have grown so old and only now I have seen my mother!"

Chu Mingshu's explanation of Liu Chang was naturally different from what Shangguan Guan said, he just said that he came to his grandfather's house for help at the behest of Qi Sanniang, but he unexpectedly heard that he looked very similar to the deceased aunt of this family, and then he inexplicably recognized a biological mother.

He didn't lie, he just omitted something, anyway, the other party was just a child, and she didn't understand what he said.

Now the biggest headache for him is how to face his adoptive mother.

What Shangguan Guan said may not be all the truth, but Shangguan Rong knew the true "identity" of "herself", but she concealed it for three years.

If it was the real Qi Yuan, he would hate that woman, right?

The scenes of getting along day and night for the past three years came to mind, Chu Mingshu closed his eyes, and he would definitely wake up after dreaming, what was he asking for.

The housekeeper arranged a carriage to send Liu Chang back, accompanied by a few doctors who heard that they were quite skilled in medicine, but Liu Chang refused to go back, hiding behind Chu Mingshu with his teeth and claws, and whoever came to pull her would bite whomever he wanted.

In the end, she stayed as she wished, for fear that someone would drive her back, and that day she followed Chu Mingshu inseparably, like a little follower.

It has been several days since the doctor was sent over, Liu Chang's mother finally came to the door, she was just an ordinary rural village woman, she had never walked out of the county seat in her life, although the guards and stone lions at the gate of Shangguan Mansion were very scary, she thought about her child, or mustered up the courage, walked over in fear, and informed the porter of her intention.

At this time, Chu Mingshu was reading in the study.

He has been hiding in the study for the past few days, and everyone thinks that he is avoiding something, but in fact, on the contrary, unlike the mountain village ethnology that only has four books and five classics, the collection of books in Shangguan Mansion is quite rich, and he urgently needs to understand the world, and the fastest way is, of course, to read books.

Documentaries, travelogues, Dachu gazetteers, and even myths and legends, he did not let go.

"Young master, there is a woman who calls herself Wang Cuihua who wants to see you. ”

A beautiful maid walked in with tea, smiled smartly, and told Chu Mingshu about it.

Chu Mingshu raised his head and put down the book in his hand, "You go and bring Liu Chang over." ”

Saying that, he stood up, walked outside the door, and said to Wang Cuihua, who lowered his head and didn't dare to look around: "I'm sorry, I brought Chang Chang out without authorization, and I worried you, please don't blame Chang Chang." ”

"Don't say that!" Wang Cuihua waved her hand again and again, "It's none of your business! I don't know her yet! She must be dead-skinned and forced you to take her out!"

"Not really......"

Chu Mingshu still wanted to explain a few words, but Liu Chang had already been led over by the maid, pouting, and the whole person was in a state of sorrow, without his usual spirit.

In the past two days, Liu Chang has been very happy in Shangguan Mansion, everything here is novel!

The tall house, the delicate house, the beautiful clothes, and the food she had never seen before, all changed in the morning, noon and evening, and she was left to choose the snacks......

If this was a dream, Liu Chang definitely didn't want to wake up.

At this time, Liu Chang didn't realize that in her young heart, she deeply longed for this kind of luxurious and wealthy life, and she gradually began to dislike the small mountain village that raised her, and even secretly hated her mother who raised her in a poor country!

Why can't I live in this kind of place from birth, for a moment, Liu Chang was frightened by his terrible thoughts.

"Changchang, look, who's coming. Chu Mingshu said with a smile.

"Brother Yuan......"

Liu Chang just looked at Chu Mingshu pitifully, unwilling to get close to his mother.

The parents came to the door, Chu Mingshu thought for two minutes and couldn't come up with a reason for the other party to continue to stay - mainly because he also felt that the little girl's family, it was not good to wander alone, he knew that Liu Chang had a lot of fun in Shangguan Mansion in the past two days, and he couldn't bear to see her sick and lifeless, but this is not her home after all, there are no relatives here, she is only six years old this year, and she has no relatives and no reason in Shangcheng, and she is too lonely.

So he raised his hand and rubbed Liu Chang's head, "Go back, you can still come to the city to see me if you have a chance." ”

"Can you really come here again......" Liu Chang glanced at Wang Cuihua with some uncertainty.

Coax back first!

"Yes!" Wang Cuihua nodded very decisively.

"Remember to help my brother take good care of Yuanbao!"

"No problem!"

Liu Chang reluctantly left the Shangguan Mansion.

On this trip, this little girl, who was about to be seven years old, did not even notice that a strange seed had been planted in her heart, and the seed took root and sprouted as quickly as possible, and it probably only needed a little more water to break through the soil.

Chu Mingshu stood in front of the gate of Shangguan Mansion, watching Liu Chang and her mother get into the carriage, his eyes were on the carriage that was gradually moving away, but his thoughts had already drifted to Daohua Village, which was a hundred miles away.

You must know what's going on here and why don't you come.

As long as your explanation makes sense, I will forgive you.

Shangguan Rong.

Chu Mingshu is not the real Qi Yuan after all, and he only has Qi Laosan's "life-saving" grace in his memory...... In the past three years, Qi Sanniang has treated him as her own, and her feelings can't deceive people.

Chu Mingshu is not Qi Yuan, and Qi Yuan's miserable and pitiful life experience does not belong to Chu Mingshu.

Isn't it just that he was abandoned, he didn't suffer it, he knew what kind of despair it was to be abandoned by his loved ones, as the saying goes, once he was born and twice cooked, Chu Mingshu smiled sarcastically, even if he was Qi Yuan, what could he do if he was abandoned again. The lie may be clumsy, the cover-up may be pale, Shangguan Rong concealed it from him, how could he ever be honest.

has lied and fabricated his own life experience, and now he is impersonating someone else's identity, which is also quite calm.

Shangguan Rong is really good to Qi Yuan, for three years, getting along day and night, whether it is hypocrisy or not, Chu Mingshu can tell clearly.

You must have something to hide.

Chu Mingshu thought so.

If not, why did I come to Shangguanfu.
