Tao Yao continued: "But my father has never let go of my mother for so many years, and he always feels that my mother is still alive in this world.

Especially on his birthday, he also received a belt, and the embroidery on it was my mother's usual embroidery method.

Mother, you say, is this a coincidence, or is someone doing it deliberately?

If my mother were still alive, would she come back and be reunited with our family? ”

Rong Niang's heart trembled, raised her eyes, and looked at the girl opposite with scrutiny.

Seeing that there was pain on her little face, and a lot of confusion, she lowered her eyes and said: "Maybe, your mother is really dead, after all, the cliff in the back mountain is so high, if you fall, how can you have a chance of surviving?" ”

Tao Yao was stunned and looked at her in surprise, "How do you know that the cliff in the back mountain is very high, have you been there?" ”

Rong Niang was stunned, and when she met the girl's curious gaze, she smiled faintly: "I haven't been there, I guess." ”

"That's right." Tao Yao sighed, "However, I hope my mother is really dead." ”

Hearing this, Rong Niang's face turned pale and she smiled a little unnaturally, "Why are you still looking forward to your mother's death?" ”

Tao Yao frowned and said: "I naturally hope that my mother is alive, but if she is alive, why don't she come back sooner?" But he still has to give my father hope, so my father can only wait for her.

Niangniang doesn't know how hard my father has lived for so many years, he is a big man, a father and a mother, raised me, and there is no woman around me who knows cold and hot.

So I thought, after so many years, if my mother was alive, she would have come back early, if she was alive and never came back, there is no need to come back now, isn't it? ”

When Rong Niang heard this, her eyelashes trembled, and she held Heng'er's hand, unconsciously exerting force.

"Mother, I hurt ......"

Heng'er's little face wrinkled, and she was about to cry.

Rong Niang was shocked and quickly let go of her hand.

When she met Tao Yao's eyes, she suddenly felt embarrassed and embarrassed, "If your mother doesn't come back alive, maybe ...... What's the problem? ”

"Bitter?" Tao Yao shook her head, "What kind of hardship is worth it for her to abandon her husband and daughter, and she doesn't even want a home?" ”

Rong Niang lowered her eyes, her heart was bitter, she pulled Heng'er and hurriedly got up and said: "Young, the emperor is still waiting for me, I will take Heng'er to go first, and after returning to the palace, I will talk to you again." ”

After speaking, she didn't even dare to look at Tao Yao's eyes, she always felt that those eyes had seen her through.

She took people with her and left in a hurry.

"Isn't my sister going with you too......"

Heng'er's voice could be heard from afar.

But Rong Niang didn't know if she didn't hear it, or for some other reason, so she quickly walked away with Heng'er.

Tao Yao watched her go away, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a touch of sarcasm.

She was so weak and flustered, it seemed that she was stabbed into her heart by what she said.

That's why she couldn't face herself anymore, and she said that she would take her to the palace to escape the summer, but she didn't dare to mention it.

However, Rong Niang's reaction was all in her expectation, and it was also the result she wanted.

She thought faintly, and turned to enter the meditation room next door.

In the meditation room next door, her father Tao Qian and uncle Tao Tian were impressively present.

It's just that at this time, her father's face was gray, and the whole person was depressed and depressed, and he had no spirit at all.

Tao Yao paused, although he felt very sorry for him, he did not regret the joint arrangement with his uncle.

Rong Niang never dreamed that the room across the wall was actually manipulated by her uncle and set up a mechanism.

The next door looks at a flawless wall, but in fact, sitting here, you can clearly see the people and things next door.

Therefore, what she said to the imperial concubine just now, her father and uncle listened to it clearly, and naturally, people can see it clearly.

Tao Yao suppressed the thoughts in his heart, raised his feet and walked in, and called softly: "Dad." ”

Seeing that Tao Qian was immersed in his thoughts, Tao Yao didn't speak again, but squatted down in front of him and clasped his hands with both hands.

After a long time, Tao Qian finally came back to his senses, and when he saw his daughter and brother looking at him worriedly, he suddenly smiled bitterly, "I'm fine, don't worry." ”

Tao Yao paused and said softly: "You saw everything just now, right?" ”

"Well, I've seen it all and heard it." Tao Qian nodded, looking lonely and sad.

In fact, if it weren't for his brother's dissuading him, he would have wanted to rush over and question her.

Why did she live and not come back for so many years, but when she said goodbye, she became someone else's wife and someone else's mother?

"That'...... Imperial concubine, is it my mother? Although Tao Yao already had the answer in his heart, he couldn't help but ask it himself.

“…… Be. Tao Qian nodded for a long time before he nodded, but his heart was full of bitterness.

The graceful and luxurious woman is indeed Shen Rongrong, although she has changed a lot now, but that face has not changed much, it is still the same as it was back then.

Even though the two have been separated for so many years, they used to get along day and night, share the same bed, and raise their daughter together, they are the women he will never forget, and he will think of them when he dreams back at midnight, how could he admit her wrong?

The first time he saw her, he knew that she was his Rong Rong......

After she disappeared back then, he dreamed every day, looking forward to waking up and seeing his Rong Rong come back to life and return to him.

He imagined many scenes of meeting Rong Rong, but he never thought that she was alive, but she became someone else's wife and gave birth to someone else's son......

How so?

His Rong Rong is not a woman who is greedy for vanity......

When a hot tear fell on the back of her hand, Tao Yao was stunned and quickly looked up, but saw her father suddenly stand up, and said in a dull voice: "I thought about it, I think your mother may really have a hard time, I will go to her to ask clearly." ”

"Daddy!" Tao Yao hurriedly grabbed him, "What if you have a hard time?" She abandoned her husband and daughter, remarried someone else, and gave birth to a child for someone else, this hardship is too far-fetched, why do you bother to find her again? When she's dead, can't she? ”

Tao Qian's body was shocked, and his handsome face turned pale.

Tao Tian sighed, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Third brother, what you said is right, just treat her as dead, don't look for her." ”

What he didn't say was that Shen Rongrong's current identity was found out, what could he do? It's just sad.

"And now that I think about it, I am afraid that she deliberately designed that play, and she wanted to leave a long time ago, so she cheated to death.

But she knows your feelings for her, but she still goes so decisively that she doesn't care about your feelings at all. Tao Tian frowned and continued.

Although these words are very hurtful and will only rub salt on his brother's wounds, he has to say that he only hopes that his brother can understand clearly.

Sure enough, Tao Qianjun's face turned a little whiter, and his eyes were full of pain.

Tao Yao was very distressed when he saw it, but there were some things that he had to understand.

"Dad, before she returned to the palace, she lived in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, so close to us, if she had a heart, she could have countless opportunities to meet us, but she didn't.

She doesn't want a father, and she doesn't want me, so ruthless, why do we need her? ”
