You have asked for permission to marry, why should I restrain myself?

Chapter 369: Previous Life (3) It is Chen Er who is sorry to A Niang

Lin Zhaoyue's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Xiao Jingchen couldn't see her now?

In a hurry, Lin Zhaoyue stood in front of him, waving her hands in front of him, and was so anxious that she was about to cry.

"Chen'er? Xiao Jingchen?"

Xiao Jingchen finally stopped one step away from her and said to the people around him:

"You guys go first, I'll be there soon."

"Yes, little prince."

The guard received the order and went to the basement first.

Lin Qingchen followed Xiao Jingchen with his fist clenched, and said:

"Chen'er, what's wrong?"

Xiao Jingchen looked at him and said:

"Uncle, please move a step first."

Lin Qingchen was slightly stunned. Even his own uncle couldn’t listen?

What is his little nephew trying to do in such a mysterious way?

Lin Qingchen followed the attendants, but felt a little worried (curious), so she hid behind a rockery and watched secretly.

Xiao Jingchen, who looked like a little adult, suddenly became like a wronged child, curled his lips and burst into tears.

It wouldn’t matter if he cried, but what surprised him was that he actually hugged the air in front of him and called out “Mom”.

Where did this mother come from?

Could it be that this child is possessed by evil spirits?

Seeing that he was feeling wronged, Lin Zhaoyue quickly hugged him, gently rubbed his head, and said:

"What's wrong? Chen'er? Did your uncle bully you?"

Fourth brother liked to tease children, and when she was a child, she cried many times because of him.

Xiao Jingchen shook his head and said in a muffled voice:

"No, uncle didn't bully Chen'er. Mother, father treated Chen'er very well. He washed Chen'er's face and changed his diapers. He also taught Chen'er calligraphy and reading."

Xiao Yan is nice to Xiao Jingchen, she discovered this last night.

Not to mention an emperor himself, even the sons and daughters of noble families, after giving birth, would basically leave their children to the care of wet nurses.

But Xiao Yan did everything by himself. She slept with him, coaxed him, cleaned his baby teeth, and was so attentive that she could tell what Xiao Jingchen needed just from a small movement or a look.

From the perspective of a child and a father, Xiao Yan did better than most.

Lin Zhaoyue reached out and touched his little head, saying softly:

"Yes, mother knows."

After hearing what Lin Zhaoyue said, Xiao Jingchen wanted to hug her tighter, but he couldn't touch anything.

He couldn't control his tears, and he said:

"Mother, Chen'er doesn't want to be an orphan."

Lin Zhaoyue's heart suddenly twitched, her nose felt sore, and she whispered to comfort him:

"A Niang will always be with Chen Er."

"But Chen'er also wants father. Mother, Chen'er doesn't want father to die!"

"Chen'er likes Father to hold his hand, likes Father to hold him, likes Father to teach Chen'er to read and write, instead of being like this now, Chen'er can only look at Mother but can't hold her."

He said, running his hands through her body.

Lin Zhaoyue froze when she saw the hands sliding across her body.

"Chen'er, do you understand?"

Xiao Jingchen nodded and said:

"I knew it when my father couldn't see my mother anymore."

"Is Chen'er afraid of mother?"

If he was scared, she would stay away from him next time.

People are subconsciously afraid of unknown things or creatures.

In fact, she still doesn't understand her situation. After all, since she became a wandering soul, she has never met any other wandering souls, not even one.

If this is the state people are in after death, why don’t we see other wandering souls?

If it was like in the storybooks, when people died there would be ghost officials who would take away the wandering souls, she had never seen a ghost official so far.

She even wanted to ask the abbot of Huguo Temple, but she was afraid that once they knew of her existence, they would forcibly take her away from Xiao Jingchen.

She couldn't bear it.

Xiao Jingchen shook his head and said:

"You are my mother. No matter what my mother looks like, I am not afraid of her."

After a long pause, Xiao Jingchen lowered his head and spoke in a low, babyish voice mixed with guilt:

"But mother, I can't just watch my father die like this. I'm sorry, mother."

As Xiao Jingchen spoke, he wiped the tears from his face with his little hands, lifted up his robe, knelt three times in front of Lin Zhaoyue, then stood up and walked towards the basement.

Lin Zhaoyue stayed there, stunned for a long time.

She had been a child for too long and had not yet adapted to the identity of a mother, so she forgot to think from Xiao Jingchen's perspective.

She has always overlooked one problem: Xiao Jingchen grew up with Xiao Yan. To him, Xiao Yan is his father and an inseparable part of him.

Although she gave birth to him, she never raised him for a single day.

If Xiao Yan intended to conceal it, he might even never know of her existence.

Although I don’t know how much Xiao Jingchen knows about her now, but judging from the fact that he brought a group of people here and knew about his mother’s inhuman state.

He knew that Xiao Yan was staying in the basement, and she had not told him in these three days. In his opinion, maybe she wanted Xiao Yan to die.

Although this is true.

But she never thought about the importance of Xiao Ying to Xiao Jingchen. She only thought that if Xiao Ying really died, her fourth brother would take Chen'er to Jiangnan.

During these three days, Xiao Jingchen was making a difficult choice.

Choose her or his father.

Obviously, he has made his choice.

Want his father.

Xiao Ying has raised him until now, so it is natural for him to choose Xiao Ying.

Although Lin Zhaoyue felt a little uncomfortable, she could understand it.

But no matter what happened between her and Xiao Yan, it was a matter between the two adults. Their past should not be borne by a three-year-old child...

Whether choosing his father or his mother, it would be cruel to him.

After seeing Xiao Jingchen walk away crying, Lin Qingchen walked to the place where Xiao Jingchen had just stood in confusion and shouted like a thief:

"Zhao Zhao, is that you? I'm the fourth brother."

Lin Qingchen looked around and indeed saw nothing.

He was the one who took care of Lin Zhaoyue's body personally. Lin Qingchen knew better than anyone that his sister was really dead.

But looking at Xiao Jingchen's appearance just now...

Could it be that his sister's ghost has returned?

Xiao Jingchen swallowed nervously, took out his sword, pointed at the sword tassel and said:

"Zhao Zhao, if you are here, shake it twice."

Lin Zhaoyue: …

Although she knew it was useless, she still shook it twice, and sure enough, the sword tassel did not move.

Lin Qingchen looked at the sword tassel that was as quiet as a chicken and murmured:

"Is it because the sword tassel is too heavy?"

He pulled out a lock of his hair and said:

"Zhao Zhao, if you were here, just blow it."

Lin Zhaoyue: …

Lin Zhaoyue ignored him and followed Xiao Jingchen's steps.

Looking at the still motionless hair, Lin Qingchen murmured:

"Could that kid be possessed by evil spirits? Where is Zhao Zhao here?"

The people guarding the basement door saw Xiao Jingchen and said:

"The little prince is here, the little prince is here..."

Xiao Jingchen walked to a tightly closed stone door and tried to push it. When it didn't open, he said:

"Father, please come out. Don't you want your son anymore?"
