Leng Suwan's eyes were still fixed on the Seven Mystical Zither. She had seen it once or twice in modern times. She heard that it was a Korean zither. It was different from the zither, but it was also crisp and pleasant. She raised her eyes and smiled faintly." Mother is gentle by nature. It's just that I don't know why she has a special liking for the 'East Wind Breaking Formation Melody' that is used to fight in the Vast Expanse. Every month when I go to Green Water Courtyard, I will hear Mother playing this song. Even if I only listen to it once a month, I am already tired of it. I don't know why Mother isn't tired of it…"
"Perhaps it's because this is a kind of sustenance for your mother. After all, being trapped in such a desolate and uninhabited place, it's inevitable that her mood will be a little depressed after a long time…It's also a waste of trouble to ask her to play some sad tunes.”
"Master, I want to know why my mother is unable to step out of Green Water Courtyard all year round. Don't use the excuse that Mother is indifferent and doesn't fight with the world to brush me off. Su Wan isn't a fool. She can tell what's aloof from the world and what's not qualified to fight with it.”
Leng Suwan looked straight at Madam Ye. Madam Ye turned her eyes away and looked at the floating peach blossoms. She lowered her eyes to hide the pity in her eyes,""Your mother's surname is…Su."
"I know that!" Leng Suwan caught the peach blossom. Although she pretended to be indifferent all these years, she had secretly investigated everything about Su Rouying. The eldest daughter of the Su family, the head of the family. However, Leng Suwan did not expect that the head of the clan would be imprisoned...
"The Su Clan of Jinling holds a treasure that can topple a country. I can only say this much. Su Wan, you are so smart, you should be able to guess the reason.”Madam Ye finally looked at Leng Suwan with a deep gaze.
As expected? Leng Suwan curled her lips. No wonder when she was ten years old, they would order the servants to take her to Lvshui Courtyard to pay respects to Su Rouying and talk to her almost every three days. After returning to West Park, he took turns to curry favor with her. Was he just trying to get information from her? This Shadow Mountain Manor really didn't even have a single favor…
"Don't look at the supreme glory of the Shadow Mountain Manor. This is something that only your father's generation has. When your grandfather passed away that year, he kept saying that his great cause had not been accomplished and that he was unwilling to leave! The six of us siblings were young and vigorous. After hearing this, we swore an oath in front of your grandfather that we would make the Shi Ying Manor famous in the martial world. Among them, your father is the most resourceful, and his martial arts is also the highest. After a few open and secret struggles, the six of us siblings were ruthless and completely lost our brotherly relationship. After knowing that I was not as good as Fourth Brother, I married a businessman surnamed Ye in Luoyang. Unfortunately, my husband's life was short. " Hehe, I've lived for so many years. The only time I was truly happy and felt alive was the year I married…Unexpectedly, the first news I heard after returning to the village was that Fifth Sister had gone crazy…" Speaking of these past events, Madam Ye held Leng Suwan's hand and strolled in the peach forest, her eyes filled with sadness. Leng Suwan lowered her head and listened quietly. She had been with Madam Ye for nine years and had never asked about the past. Madam Ye had never mentioned it either. Now that Madam Ye was willing to talk about it, she was naturally happy to listen to it as a bloody story...
"Do you know which of these six people can contend with your fourth brother, your father? It wasn't Big Brother or Second Brother, but Third Sister…Third Sister had a wild and unrestrained nature, and her ambition wasn't inferior to a man. Back then, I left my husband's house and returned to Shi Ying Mountain Villa to be a secret dealer because I wanted to protect myself. After all, I knew my limits. As for why Third Sister gave up halfway, I really don't know…"
"Then…Fifth Aunt, how did you go crazy?”Leng Suwan tilted her head and asked with suspicion in her eyes. Madam Ye raised her eyes to look at the clear blue sky and said sadly,"Among us siblings, your father's thunderous methods are the most terrifying, and Third Sister's heart is as poisonous as a snake or scorpion…Fifth Sister is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life. Speaking of which, your charm now really does have the shadow of Fifth Sister's youth. I don't know what happened in the year after I left. I only know that I haven't seen Fifth Sister since I got married. She trapped herself in the fog outside the Green Water Courtyard and didn't take a step out for more than ten years…"
"I'll be imprisoned for life…Master, there's a welcoming banquet tonight. Are you going to attend?”Leng Suwan didn't want to continue this sad story, so she changed the topic and took the Qixuan Zither from Madam Ye's arms. She held it in her arms and gently fiddled with it with her slender hands, making a tinkling sound. It was really clearer than the sound of a zither and more lively than the sound of a pipa.
Madam Ye collected her emotions and smiled. She shook her head."You know I won't go, so why ask? This Great General's arrival this time is definitely not simple. " At such a young age, he's already the Zhenyuan General appointed by the Emperor. He must not be a simple person…Don't let him take a fancy to him…" Madam Ye did not say anything more. The master and disciple sat cross-legged on the ground. Leng Su Wan was able to grasp the Seven Mysterious Zither with a few strokes. The " East Wind Breaking Formation Song " that Madam Ye pointed out earlier slowly flowed out from her fingertips, as if it had a hint of indescribable artistic conception and charm.
At the foot of Shiying Mountain Manor…
A black figure exuded a vast loneliness, with a sense of alienation that kept people thousands of miles away. His slender fingers twirled a jade flute that was completely green in color. He slowly raised his hand and placed the jade flute under his thin lips. A melodious and lingering melody that was filled with endless desolation overflowed from the jade flute…
The tune of the zither in the manor suddenly changed. It went from slow to fast and became more and more urgent. It brought with it the boundless galloping of ten thousand horses, the tragic feeling of being wrapped in a horse's leather, the pity of not being able to return to his hometown and bed, the grief of not being able to see his wife and family, and more importantly, the defense of the city to the death! Peach blossoms filled the sky and lingered around the woman in white who was sitting on the ground…
The sound of the jade flute at the foot of the mountain was no different from the sound of the zither. The sound of the flute seemed to break through the distance of time and space and slowly fused together, bringing with it an earth-shattering feast for the ears...
Leng Suwan and the man in black opened their eyes at the same time and finished the last syllable. The black-robed man gently stroked the flute with his slender and fair hands. After gently placing it in a long mirror box, he turned around and left the room silent…
"Master, I think…I can hear the flute…The 'East Wind Breaking Formation Melody' played on the flute.”Leng Suwan slightly raised her head, her eyes were a little confused. Madam Ye frowned and said in disbelief,"How is that possible? I've only heard your mother play this song before, and your mother only uses the pipa and has never used anything else…You must have entered the artistic conception, and perhaps you're hallucinating. However, I didn't expect your 'East Wind' to be as good as your mother's!”
Leng Suwan smiled." Master, you flatter me. I can only play Mother's artistic conception with my heart. The difference is still very big." Looking at the time, I'm going back to West Park to see that little ancestor Su Ran!”
"It's been hard on you, taking care of Su Ran for your mother at such a young age. " You should go quickly, in case she cries when she doesn't see you…" Madam Ye paused and looked at Leng Suwan who stood up and shook off her peach blossom body with pity. Leng Suwan revealed a bitter smile,"" If Su Ran really cried, I would be happy…But, she doesn't…"
Leng Suwan had just left the Peach Crossing Garden when she saw a teenager in red standing under the old locust tree with a ten-year-old girl. She smiled helplessly and slowly walked forward. When she reached the locust tree, she slowly squatted down. The white skirt spread out at her feet. She touched the soft hair of the little girl who looked delicate but had her eyes lowered. She looked up at the young man in red and said,"Meng Yu, I'll have to trouble you to take care of Su Ran again today…Thank you.”
Meng Yu smiled lightly and looked down at the girl who was staring at Little Su Ran again. His gentle eyes were filled with undisguised pity,""You should know that Su Ran is really lonely in West Park.”
She lowered her head and smiled, but her voice carried a hint of helplessness." Mother is not a competent mother, and I am not a competent sister…Suran is in West Park. Other than me and Lü Nong, she will not get close to anyone else. Fortunately, there is still you…"
She suddenly felt that she was indeed selfish. She avoided Meng Yu and ignored his heart, throwing it into the storm. At the same time, she relied on him to take care of Su Ran and lighten her burden…
" Wanwan…" He tentatively called out to the absent-minded woman. His voice was cautious and even carried a hint of humble hope. Leng Suwan came back to her senses and gave a faint smile. Her eyes were still as dark as an ancient pond.
"If you like it, you can call me that.”
Meng Yu's amber eyes were overflowing with joy, but there was also an extremely complicated mix of sadness. It was just an intimate title. He didn't want to use such despicable means to exchange for it. However, when he got her approval, there was a voice in his heart saying that even if he was despicable enough to use Su Ran to get close to her, the result would still be good. Why did he have to drag on that insignificant process?
Leng Suwan held his cold hand, stood up and looked at Meng Yu, her face turning cold again,""I'll take Su Ran back to West Park first. See you at the banquet. Also…thank you, thank you so much, Meng Yu…"
With the warm glow of the setting sun, Leng Suwan was holding a small red figure in her white clothes. The setting sun stretched their shadows very long. Leng Suwan's cold eyes turned gentle, and she lowered her head from time to time to say something to Su Ran who had been looking down...
Still, could he only look at her back? Such a gentle face, such a soft whisper, when could she not only look at Su Ran…but also at him, smiling gently, and with a turn of her head, thousands of flowers would bloom…Meng Yu smiled bitterly and turned around. Just as he was about to leave, he saw the woman in blue standing not far away, stunned.
Leng Ruoli stood quietly, her dress fluttering in the wind. She lowered her head slightly, hiding the sadness and bitterness in her eyes. When she raised her head, it was a gentle and gentle smile. She walked towards the young man in red and stopped when she was two steps away from him. In fact, she really wanted to get closer, even if it was just a little...
