Chapter 460: Touching the scene and feeling sad
"Ah."
Si He responded happily and followed him into the mansion.
As night fell, the servants in the mansion lit lanterns early, illuminating the surroundings.
And because they had just gotten married, there were many festive things posted in the house, such as red ribbons tied on the trees in the courtyard, and auspicious paper-cuts or happiness characters pasted on the big red lanterns. The air was full of festivity.
Si He walked into the front yard. When she saw the lush green plum tree in the yard, she couldn't help but stop and the smile on her face faded a little.
The plum trees in early summer have lush branches and leaves, and their crowns are like umbrellas. There are still some green plums on the branches that have not fallen. The fruits are all growing well, small and round, and lush and green, hidden among the green leaves.
A breeze blew by, the leaves swayed gently, making a rustling sound, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance, which was a mixture of plum leaves and plums, fresh and elegant, and very pleasant.
This plum tree has been pruned and is in good shape, just like the one Ning Ji once planted.
Suddenly, a complex emotion surged in her heart, making her feel depressed, as if a stone was pressing on her, and she felt a little uncomfortable.
The past flashed through my mind like fragments, sad, happy, ordinary, and unforgettable.
The surging emotions were like a tide, seeming to drown her bit by bit. She pursed her lips and tried hard to suppress the sudden surge of emotions.
But for some things, the more they are suppressed, the more they ferment.
She withdrew her gaze and was about to continue walking forward, but she found that Yue Fuli had also stopped and turned to look at her.
The breeze was blowing, the fragrance of plum blossoms was lingering, and at that moment, she suddenly felt a little dazed.
She looked at his young face, but the face with white hair and a somewhat old look seemed to appear in front of her, as if traveling through time and space.
The man in her memory had a gentle face and doting eyes. He stood under the plum tree and looked at her with a smile.
However, it was only a moment of trance, and the illusion shattered like bubbles in an instant and disappeared from sight.
Her gaze refocused, the person and scene before her remained unchanged.
It would be great if time could freeze at that moment.
Her mouth suddenly pursed and she began to cry silently. Big tears flowed from her eyes, slid down her cheeks, and fell onto her clothes or the ground.
The emotions that could not be suppressed suddenly burst out and were difficult to control. She cried sadly and aggrievedly, like a helpless child.
Yue Fuli was a little surprised when he saw her suddenly burst into tears. Why was she crying for no reason?
But he had never comforted anyone before. Seeing her crying, he frowned. After a long while, he said, "Why are you crying?"
His voice was still cold, but the coldness on his face had unconsciously melted a little.
The servants watching this scene were surprised for a moment, then they lowered their heads and waited politely by the side.
She tried her best to control her emotions, wiped her tears with her sleeve, and said with a choked voice: "I... just thought of my master..."
Hearing her say this, he thought about how she was like this when they first met, very emotional and crying. Later she said it was because of her master.
Seeing her like this now, I guess her master is in bad condition.
Yue Fuli was speechless, and then he heard her say, "My master also planted a plum tree a while ago... It was just like this."
She sobbed a little as she spoke, and looked very sad.
But she was able to control her emotions quite well. After taking a deep breath for a while, she stopped crying and also suppressed some of the sadness on her face. She curled the corners of her lips and revealed a smile that was uglier than crying. "I'm fine. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
She had wiped away all the tears on her face, but her eyes were still slightly red.
The yard was silent. When the breeze blew, the lanterns on the corridor swayed gently, and the light and shadows swayed with it. She stood in the light and shadow, looking beautiful and charming, but also a little thin, but she seemed to have an indescribable tenacity.
Maybe she was just saddened by the scene, but Yue Fuli always felt that the way she looked at him before she cried was a little strange, as if he could see through him and see the shadow of someone else, just like when they first met.
However, seeing that she was pretending to be strong and had calmed down, he finally said nothing more and turned to walk towards the house in front.
She has her own secrets, and he doesn't care. Of course, the premise is that it does not infringe on his interests and does not pose a danger to him.
He was certain of this before they got married, so he dared to marry her.
Si He looked at his back, and her heart felt a little bitter again.
She tried her best to calm down, lowered her head slightly, and followed silently.
By the time she had dinner in the evening, she had recovered and calmed down, but she mostly just focused on eating and remained silent. Although she rarely spoke while dining on ordinary days, today was a little different.
After all, no matter how much she adjusts, it takes time to heal from a low mood.
Yue Fuli was just like usual, very quiet during the meal, not saying a word, cold and aloof, his movements elegant and polite, but he would occasionally cast a subtle glance at her.
However, she lowered her head, her thoughts wandering, and did not notice his gaze.
After dinner, just as Yue Fuli was about to leave, Si He suddenly said, "Husband, could you please help me get some information?"
Yue Fuli looked up at her. He was still a little uncomfortable every time he heard her address him like that, but he didn't show it on his face. He said, "Looking for your master?"
He remembered that she had said that when they first met, she came out to find her master.
Si He was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then shook her head with a complicated look in her eyes. "No, I want you to send someone to investigate along the river in the Tianshan Mountains to the northwest to see if there are any traces of the giant black snake."
In fact, she originally planned to go out and find out the news by herself, but after thinking about it, she thought, why go so far? He has power in his hands, and it should not be difficult for him to find out the news along the river.
If she went out to investigate, she was afraid of attracting other people's attention. If Momo was really along the river, it would bring disaster to it.
Moreover, the area along the river was too vast, and she couldn't leave too far to look for its traces everywhere, so after some thought, she felt that it would be safer to ask him for help, and she couldn't hide this matter from him in the end.
Yue Fuli asked, "How big was the snake? Where was it lost?"
He had seen a few scales in her cloth bag before. They were the size of copper coins, and he could tell they were very large. He guessed they were raised by his master. After all, according to the investigation, she had stayed in Aoki Castle when she was young, but this was probably just a cover, and she probably had not been in the city all these years.
Because she is skilled in martial arts, has extraordinary abilities, and even raises giant snakes. If she were in the city, how could no one notice her?
Even outside the city, he had never heard of any giant snakes appearing in that area.
