The Hickey of the Demon Lord: The Substitute Princess

Chapter 88

It was almost the second watch, and she was still wearing the daytime robe and blouse, the black silk was not messed up, and there was no trace of lying on the bed.

Ever since she received the message from her servant, she has been waiting until now.

Zhou Yan secretly took Su Min's hand and pushed her in front of the woman. He smiled, his expression unchanged. "Mom, I brought her back."

"Is that Ru'er? That's good, that's good." There was a little sadness on the woman's kind face, she reached out to touch Su Min's cheek, tears fell silently, and she muttered in a low voice. "It seems to be a little thinner than when I was a child. I didn't eat well in that house. Are you doing well?"

Su Min was slightly taken aback. Her mother died when she had no memory. She used to regard the woman who suddenly appeared in the Su family as her mother, and her hypocrisy as warmth. That was something she didn't want to recall. past.

But the woman in front of her face had tears in her smile, and her gloomy eyes couldn't change the perennial gloom, sadness and pain, but they became soft because of her appearance.

"Mother, that family is well-off, and my little sister hasn't experienced any hardships in the past few years. Naturally, there will be some changes in the women's college." Zhou Yan smoothed things over and laughed softly.

"Yes, it looks better. She looks really pretty." Zhou withdrew her hand and nodded repeatedly. For a long time, she just looked at Su Min and couldn't say anything.

She wiped the tears from her face, more smiles appeared on her brows, she held Su Min's hand, and sat on the edge of the bed together, couldn't help but praise. "I don't think any of the girls in our thirteen states can compare to our Ru'er."

Su Min lowered her eyes and smiled, looking back tenderly, as if a thousand words were spoken in silence.

"We came back late, mother, you should be going to bed at this time." Zhou Yan glanced at the thick night outside the window, and his expression returned to solemnity. After all, Zhou's body is already a candle in the wind, so it is not optimistic.

"Even if you guys come home after dawn, I will wait." Mrs. Zhou held Su Min's hand, unwilling to let go. Her eyes were filled with both regret and joy. .

The temperature at hand gradually rose, as if something hard and cold began to melt.Su Min was a little distracted. This woman looked so strange, but there was no doubt that she was different from that woman.

"I've been waiting for nine years, do you still care about one more day?" Zhou pushed a strand of Su Min's hanging hair behind her ear, patted her tender cheeks, and spoke in a very gentle tone. Very natural.

But for some reason, this sentence brought Su Min a huge and unimaginable touch.

She wanted to smile, but felt that the smile on the corner of her mouth was so heavy that it almost moved a little, and it was extremely difficult.

"Ru'er." Zhou Shi held Su Min's little hand in the palm of his hand, his expression softened, as if he was a child, and whispered her boudoir name.

Su Min seemed to have no time to think, and blurted out. "Yes, mother."

Her one word "mother" made Zhou's eyes flash, and his eyes became more moist.This is also the result of her nine years of waiting. Just one word makes people's waiting worthwhile, and makes people's disappointment fall apart.

Zhou Yan sat aside, watching the scene in front of him, even though he was the mastermind of the scene, he almost took it seriously.Inexplicable and complicated emotions lingered in the fundus of the eyes, and a glimmer of light swirled in the corners of the eyes.

Zhou's eyes glanced at Zhou Yan's side, and he spoke slowly. "Brother treats you well. I haven't given up the idea of ​​finding you for so many years. I dare say that there is no brother in this world who is like him."

"Yeah." Su Min rolled his lips into a smile, and nodded slightly as a response.

"Mom, you must have a lot to say to me, let me chat with you all night." She raised her eyebrows, her eyes were clear, and she spoke thoughtfully.

"It's okay, we have plenty of time. You look tired. I've already asked someone to clean your room. Go to bed early." Zhou felt satisfied after seeing her daughter whom she hadn't seen in nine years. Shangfeng became more concerned about Su Min's feelings.She got up and asked Zhou Yan thoughtfully: "Yan'er, take your sister to rest."

The two walked out of Mrs. Zhou's room together. On the long corridor, the figures of the two were stretched very long.

He didn't stop until he turned the corner, and turned his face to look at Su Min's crystal clear face. The bright moonlight shone on her body, making her look even more moving, with every detail visible.

He pursed his lips lightly: "I never thought you would change your mind so soon."

Su Min raised her eyebrows, and the slight smile disappeared in the eyes. "It's not that difficult."

When she was ignorant, she used to regard that woman as her mother, and called her mother hundreds of times, thousands of times. Therefore, she both hated and was familiar with this word.

After three days.

"Mother, are you feeling better?" Zhou Yan sat opposite Zhou, observing the woman carefully.

More than 20 years ago, my mother was an official lady who loved beauty very much. Now that she is old, she never wants to show her sloppiness.

Therefore, even though my hair had turned gray three years ago due to illness, I didn't want to show my old age in front of my sister, so I dyed my gray hair black on purpose.

But there is still nowhere to hide her weakness and sickness, but at least she looks much better than before.

Zhou smiled and nodded without saying a word, and put the embroidered plaque in his hand on the table, his eyes were full of soft light.

"What is this?" Zhou Yan smiled and asked in a low voice.

Zhou tidied up the extra colored threads before turning around and chuckling. "I have nothing to do at home. I embroidered a pair of purses. The one with the black background and red thread is yours, and the one with the red background and black thread is your sister's."

"Where's Ru'er?" Zhou Yan's expression remained unchanged, and he took the purse in his hand to examine, but the name made him feel a touch of emotion that was hard to detect.

"I went out to ride a horse, and I haven't come back yet." Mrs. Zhou didn't take it seriously, ignoring the slight changes in her son's face.

"I'll send someone to call her back." Zhou Yan's eyes sank, asking for her mother's opinion.

"Just let her go out to play, it's not good to be bored at home." After waving his hands again and again, Zhou fully considered from the standpoint of his daughter, without paying any attention.

"Mother, do you have something on your mind? What makes you dissatisfied with Ru'er?"

Zhou Yan's eyes were like a torch, and he saw the melancholy in the woman's eyes at a glance, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.

"Hey, I really don't know if Ru'er was happy in those years. The lively personality she had when she was a child has definitely changed." Zhou sighed in a low voice, and couldn't help but feel sad when he said these words.

If it wasn't for her negligence, she wouldn't be separated from her daughter, let alone let the eight-year-old child face all the earth-shaking changes in fate.

Hearing this, Zhou Yan was completely relieved, soothed Zhou's anxiety with his eyes, and a very faint smile rose from the corner of his mouth: "I think the current Ru'er is not bad."

"People are very sensible, and they have become demure and elegant. I remember that during the years when your father was still alive, he often told me that if Ru'er's girl also became a fair lady sometime, the sky would change. "Zhou Shi fell into the memories of the past, her eyes shone with a gentle light, and her kind eyebrows were full of the look that a loving mother should have.

"I didn't expect that she would naturally become the kind of lady your father expected. We didn't spend any thought, as if we were born like this."

"Isn't that great? I'll save you from complaining that Ru'er is like a wild girl, and no one wants her when she grows up." Zhou Yan teased, stood up and poured tea, with a handsome appearance, without any unnaturalness.

Zhou shook her head helplessly, and didn't pursue it any further. After being silent for a while, she suddenly muttered to herself.

"Yes, yes, this matter is very important, how can I forget?"

Holding the teacup in his hand, Zhou Yan leaned his thin body on the back of the chair, looking in the direction of Zhou's lightly.

In Zhou's heart, there were countless doubts: "Haven't you been with Ru'er all the time? Have you ever noticed if there is someone she likes in her heart? Or, that family has already arranged a marriage for her?"

"She doesn't have any marriage contract on her." With a tight heart, Zhou Yan answered naturally, without any trace of pretense.

Zhou refused to relax: "So, is there someone in your heart?"

"Mother, how could you tell me about your daughter's family?" Zhou Yan was extremely helpless, and smiled bitterly. When he saw Zhou's eyes dimming, he turned his face away and sipped tea.

"As long as both of you brothers and sisters are married, I'll be happy even if I die." Zhou Shi sighed heavily, with a lonely look on his face.

Seeing that Zhou Yan didn't care, Zhou's words became more earnest. "As an older brother, you can't be a bad example for your younger sister. According to the rules in our thirteen states, if your elder brother doesn't get married, your younger siblings will get married. I can't let you be the culprit."

He just smiled, calmly, without seeming to have any real emotion.

Responding to all changes with the same is his principle of doing things.

Zhou knew her son's personality, but she refused to give up the opportunity to advise him.The last time he showed Miss Jin'er, he thought that his gentle and polite son would not veto her wishes, but he didn't want to get married, which made the girl very uncomfortable.Thinking about it now, Mrs. Zhou still regrets it very much.

"So, you'd better go talk softly to Jin'er earlier. I think she still has feelings for you. As long as you are willing, there is no problem with your marriage."

Zhou Yan suppressed his smile, seemingly impatient. "Let's talk about it another day."

"How long are you going to delay?" Zhou's heart was full of powerlessness, her son never let her worry about it, but now he refused to compromise on the marriage, which broke her heart.

"Mother, I'm back." There was a clear voice outside the door, which seemed to be full of vitality.

It happened just in time, a gleam of light flashed in Zhou Yan's eyes.

She came at just the right time, unknowingly, to save herself.A smile curled up on his lips, and he opened the door to welcome Su Min who was dripping with sweat.
