After reading my mind, Daddy, why don't you smile?

Chapter 446: Monkey Catching the Moon

Shangguan Chengjing was horrified, "Dad, you don't want me to go to the Zhai family, do you?"

"For now!" Shangguan Shu comforted.

Zhao Ying also said, "Don't worry. When mother is free, she will send someone to Zhai Mansion to summon you back to the Princess Mansion."

"But..." Shangguan Chengjing wanted to say something, but suddenly realized that there was something wrong with Zhao Ying's words. He wondered, "Princess's Mansion?"

"Why is it the Princess's Mansion?"

Zhao Ying and Shangguan Shu then remembered that Shangguan Chengjing was not there when they divorced!

Shangguan Shu lowered his brows, no longer maintaining his previous attitude, and remained silent.

Zhao Ying pondered for a while, "Cheng Jing, Dad and Mom have something to tell you..."

……

The heavy raindrops hit the bricks and tiles on the eaves, making a rustling sound. Shangguan Chengjing lay flat on the bed, pressing his hands on his lower abdomen, with a hot water bottle covering his hands, and then... crying silently.

His parents divorced...

His parents actually divorced!

Although his mother said that they would still love him as before, he still couldn't accept the reality that his family was broken.

Woohoo...

He hated himself for being so fragile and vulnerable now!

Shangguan Chengjing punched himself hard, and then felt a sharp pain.

He covered his stomach and rolled around on the bed with his hands, grimacing. "Hiss..."

Why does it hurt so much? It feels like countless knives are scraping the inner wall of my stomach...

Shangguan Chengjing was acting emo, while Shangguan Qingyue was laughing and smiling.

Zhao Ying and Shangguan Shu coaxed her to play games, and the little girl giggled until late at night. It was time to go to bed, so Zhao Ying drove Shangguan Shu away. Before leaving, Shangguan Shu was extremely resentful and reluctant, but Shangguan Qingyue made a smug face in return, "Goodbye, Daddy..."

[Mother's couch is Yue'er! ]

After Shangguan Shu left, Zhao Ying fed Shangguan Qingyue some night milk and then fell asleep while holding her.

In the next few days, several people dealt with the remaining chores in Dali. Dali became an empty city, but it would not be an empty city forever. After the blockade was lifted, new officials would arrive and people from other states and counties would move in. After everything was arranged, it was already half a month later.

Shangguan Shu’s birthday is still a month away, so I can still do it if I rush back.

Early in the morning, the group said goodbye to Liang Su and others outside the inn.

Zhao Ying still had some hope and asked, "How is the baby girl?"

She had witnessed those spots of light running towards the clinic that day, and thought they would save the baby girl, but... although the baby girl had no life, her body had not decayed for more than ten days, which gave people some hope.

So Zhao Ying asked this question every day.

Liang Su shook his head, "No reaction."

Zhao Ying took a deep breath and said nothing more. He took Shangguan Qingyue and Shangguan Chengjing to the carriage. Before getting on the carriage, Shangguan Chengjing asked, "General Liang, have you seen a three-year-old girl named Liu Er in the Liu family?"

Liang Su thought about it carefully for a moment and finally denied it.

"No!" He was familiar with the people in Liu Mansion, and he was the one who personally led people to destroy Liu Mansion. He was sure that he did not see Liu Er.

Shangguan Chengjing frowned, and a trace of solemnity and suspicion flashed across his eyes. How could there not be?

If Liu Er died, it would be... a good thing for her!

But if she hadn't died... Shangguan Chengjing thought of Shangguan Qingyue's thoughts. She might come out and make trouble in the future, such as... cheating on him, forcing his wife to death, and drowning his son.

There was no way he would let her harm him again!

He wanted to ask Liang Su to help look for it, but now he was wearing Zhai Jingxuan's body, so there was no way he could move the general. Just when he was worrying about it, he heard his father's voice.

"General Liang, please search for him in Dali City!"

Liang Su bowed his hands and said, "General, what are you talking about? I will keep your trust in mind. If there is any trace of that girl, I will send someone to deliver a letter to you!"

Shangguan Shu nodded slightly and got on the carriage.

The group left Dali in a mighty procession, and Liang Su led his men to escort them. When they arrived at the city gate, Liang Su said, "Princess, General, I will send you off here."

After that, a voice came from the imperial guards, "Look, Feihong!"

Hearing the sound, everyone turned around and looked at the sky behind them.

"It really is! So beautiful..."

It drizzled for half a month and it finally cleared up this morning.

Above the distant mountains, there is a colorful rainbow bridge, which is gorgeous and beautiful.

"Mom, I want to see Hongqiao too!"

Zhao Ying lifted the curtain, and the little guy's head poked out, "Wow... so beautiful, mother Yue'er will catch it for you to see!"

As she spoke, the little girl stretched out her hand and grabbed the rainbow bridge. The rainbow bridge was just before her eyes. She spread out her hands, "Huh? Didn't catch it?"

[It’s okay, I’ll do it again! ]

Shangguan Qingyue stretched out his little claws to Feihong again, but what greeted her was failure after failure. The little guy's face became more and more wrinkled.

"Why can't I catch it? It's right in front of me..."

“Hahahahahaha…” People in the carriage were already laughing.

Zhao Ying and Shangguan Shu were relatively restrained, but Shangguan Chengjing laughed so wildly.

"Yuer, you want to catch Feihong? Hahahaha..."

Zhao Ying hugged the little girl's waist, pulled her back and held her on her lap, still wondering why she failed.

"Mom, Yue'er originally wanted to catch it and show it to you, but Yue'er couldn't catch it..." Shangguan Qingyue raised her head and looked at Zhao Ying cutely.

Zhao Ying's heart melted, how could her daughter be so cute!

She lowered her head and kissed him, "Yue'er is too young. We'll be able to catch him when he grows up."

"really?"

"If you don't believe me... why don't you ask your father?"

Shangguan Shu reached out and touched the little kid's head, saying lovingly, "Your mother is right!"

Shangguan Chengjing could no longer laugh.

Hey, hey, hey! What's going on?

Shouldn't his father tell Yue'er sternly at this moment the story of the monkey trying to catch the moon?

Then Yueer burst into tears and denied that she was not a monkey, saying that you were the monkey, which earned her a small horsewhip fried meat...

Why is the direction different from what he expected?

Wow, so it turns out that the strict father was only strict with the first three of them?

Shangguan Chengjing was a little upset at first, but then he thought, luckily there are Wan'er and Bai Lin who are like him, so he accepted it!

But as the eldest brother, he wants to give Yueer a complete childhood!

"Yue'er, have you ever heard of the story of the monkey trying to catch the moon?"

Shangguan Qingyue shook his head in confusion.

"That is, a monkey tries to fish the moon out of the water, but always fails because the real moon is in the sky and the one in the water is just its shadow!"

"So... do you understand?"

The little guy thought for a while, and then, under the expectant gaze of his family, he suddenly understood, his eyes sparkled, and he nodded rapidly, "I understand!"

Shangguan Shu asked, "What do you understand?"
