Chapter 192 I Miss Him So Much
The old general and the old lady slept until night fell and then woke up.
They didn't sleep well and were dreaming in a daze.
They dreamed of their daughter, who was always smiling at them.
They had never dreamed of her since her death.
It seems that she was not happy at all when she stayed in the Mu family...
The couple woke up and looked at each other in silence, but it seemed that they were dreaming the same dream.
"Amien, we did it right this time, didn't we?"
The old general asked with tears in his eyes.
The old lady smiled and nodded with tears in her eyes, "Yes, yes... This is the first time I've dreamed of Qing'er in all these years..." She raised her head and sighed softly, "This girl is really cruel. She didn't even appear in our dreams for all these years. She only appeared after we brought her home..."
The old general patted her on the shoulder and said, "Okay, let's go out and don't let the children worry..."
"Hey……"
After decades of marriage, they have been through thick and thin together. They have long been accustomed to facing everything together.
As generals, they have seen countless killings, and when facing death, they are more calm than others. Their grief is intense and deep, hidden in the dark, and never easily revealed to others.
The door opened, Mu Qingyan and Xulin turned around at the same time, and then came forward to support.
The old lady touched her head and asked, "Why have you been guarding here all the time? Are you worried about us?"
The old general patted Xulin's hand and said nothing, but it seemed as if he had said everything.
Mu Qingyan rarely showed the attitude of a little girl, "Grandma, if you two don't come out, uncle won't let us eat... I'm so hungry waiting..."
These coquettish words successfully made the two elders smile.
The old lady pretended to be angry and said, "Which uncle of yours is this? How dare you starve my precious granddaughter? I'll teach him a lesson for you!"
The three brothers of the Gu family were all waiting in the outer courtyard. They all breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the voice.
The early death of my sister was a great blow to the two elders, but they had been in the war for so many years that they had no time to grieve.
Now I don’t have as many thoughts as before. My mind is suddenly empty, and all the sadness and pain come in all at once.
The Gu family enjoyed the meal tonight very much, and Mrs. Yuan also came to dine with everyone despite her frail body.
She had been to the ancestral hall, and when she saw the tablet, she truly felt that her sister was really gone...
But Mu Qingyan always reminded her not to be too sad or happy.
Just for her parents, she had to live a good life and couldn't live in a muddle-headed way like before.
The Gu family is so large that the huge round table can hardly accommodate everyone.
When we are together, our hearts are warm.
After dinner, the elders went into the flower hall to discuss things.
The younger generations were all staying in the yard.
It is very cold in Kyoto in winter.
Occasionally there were some snowflakes floating in the air. The Chinese New Year was approaching, and after the Chinese New Year, her wedding to Prince Ling would be approaching.
"Sister Yan, mother hasn't been in a good mental state these days. I'm worried that she might go back to her old self..."
She accompanies her mother every day, and she notices every little change in her.
Mu Qingyan comforted her, "Aunt has been ill for so many years, her health is worse than others. Huaiyang's climate is mild, unlike Kyoto's big ups and downs. It's normal that she can't adapt for a while. Let her relax about everything, don't worry too much, just take good care of herself."
Yuan Ying nodded nervously.
"I was too nervous. Thinking back to when she was unconscious and even had suicidal thoughts, I couldn't help but feel worried..."
Mu Qingyan patted her hands, "Aunt has always felt guilty about what happened to mother and me, and she has a knot in her heart. These past two days, she was just saddened by the scene. We can't help her, she has to get over it herself. You, you are so focused on your aunt that you never want to go out for a walk. Have you thought about it? Do you want to stay in Kyoto in the future, or go back to Huaiyang with your aunt?"
Yuan Ying pursed her lips, a little embarrassed, "I, I haven't thought about it yet... But I can stay single for the rest of my life and stay with my mother forever."
Mu Qingyan tapped her nose and said, "Silly girl, even if you are willing, your aunt can't be willing."
Yuanying buried her head deeper.
After a long while, he raised his head and said, "Tomorrow, I want to go out of the city and visit Qingguang Temple. I heard that the Buddha there is particularly effective. I will go and pray for my mother so that she can get better soon."
"Okay, if you want to go, I'll go with you."
When the cousins of the Gu family heard that they were going out of town, they were all very excited and came over, "We're going too, we're going too! We're worried about you two girls going out, so we're here to protect you!"
As the eldest among them, Gu Yu was still very dignified. He coughed twice, and his younger brothers restrained themselves from moving forward.
He restrained his expression and said, "A girl is going to burn incense and pray for blessings, why are you joining in the fun?"
The youngest, Gu Jin, blurted out, "Let's go and find a marriage partner! Our family is full of monks. If we don't get married, our parents' hair will turn gray with worry!"
Those who were more lively all agreed with a smile, while those who were more shy all blushed.
Mu Qingyan looked at these six handsome cousins and thought that if she had lived in that era, with so many sons in the family, she would be worried...
Yuan Ying covered her mouth and laughed when she heard this, "Sixth brother, why would you need to ask for a marriage? Didn't you find a handkerchief that the girl had deliberately dropped on the long street that day? Could it be that there is no follow-up?"
Then the crowd surrounded him, shouting slogans such as "leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist"
Mu Qingyan and Yuan Ying watched the fun from the side.
Gu Jin yelled, "Sister Ying, how could you betray me? I won't take you out to play anymore!"
Before Yuan Ying could say anything, Gu Qin shouted, "If you don't take us, we are still here! You are no problem! Tell us quickly, tell us which girl threw the handkerchief at you!"
"It's just..."
"Tell me quickly, or we'll tell Mom and Dad!"
"..."
The night slowly fell silent amidst the noise. The five brothers worked together, using threats and inducements, but in the end they were unable to pry Gu Jin's mouth open, and they allowed him to break through the siege and escape.
Mu Qingyan watched them making a fuss quietly, but she was thinking of another person.
She has completely cut off ties with the Duke's Mansion and now lives in the Gu family, so it would be inconvenient for Prince Ling to come looking for her.
Everyone in the family is an elder. As a prince, it is impossible for him to always break into a girl's boudoir late at night to confide in her.
But she really missed him.
After informing Yuanying, she hurried out.
At the gate of the mansion, she stepped out of the threshold and heard the sound of wheels rolling. She looked up suddenly and her eyes met the person in the carriage who lifted the curtain to look at her.
That person's smile was very warm, and his deep voice slowly flowed through her ears, "Yan'er, come up..."
