Parents are busy farming

When Ye Zifen's graceful figure gradually went away and finally disappeared completely from his sight, Mu Hongzhou slowly turned his head and cast his gaze towards Shangguan Ying who was standing beside him.

A trace of doubt appeared on his face, and he asked, "Just now, why didn't you tell Zifen about the comments made by the emperor? I really don't understand."

When Shangguan Ying heard this, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.

She just shook her head gently and replied softly: "Do you really think Zifen can't think of the key? In fact, it's not the case! It's just that she doesn't want to think deeply. You know, Zifen has always been a very meticulous person, and her intelligence is far beyond ordinary people. For many things, she has long been clear in her mind like a mirror, but for some reason she chooses not to face them directly."

After hearing this explanation, Mu Hongzhou couldn't help but frown, obviously he still couldn't fully understand it.

He continued to ask: "But if she keeps avoiding like this, how can she possibly resolve the knot in her heart? If this goes on, won't she get deeper and deeper into trouble?"

Shangguan Ying sighed helplessly, then turned her gaze in the direction where Ye Zifen had just left, her eyes seemed to contain endless deep meaning.

After a long while, she slowly spoke: "Some things, no matter how much we, the bystanders, say, no matter how thoroughly, it will be useless. The only way to really help her untie this knot in her heart is to let her experience some things herself, and find the answer through her own feelings and experience. As for the things in that bundle... maybe it contains clues that can lead her out of the predicament."

After saying that, Shangguan Ying sighed softly again, as if she was full of worry and expectations for Zifen's future.

Mu Hongzhou frowned tightly, his face still full of deep worry, and murmured softly: "I hope so... I'm really worried that she will get stuck in that dead end and can't get out."

After saying this, he sighed softly, as if a heavy rock was pressing on his heart.

Shangguan Ying looked at Mu Hongzhou's worried look, reached out and gently patted her shoulder, and comforted her: "Don't worry, Hongzhou. Zifen is not that kind of fragile woman. She has always had her own independent judgment and unshakable faith. I believe she will be able to think it through and look at it with an open mind when she encounters setbacks this time."

Shangguan Ying's words were powerful and full of trust and encouragement for her friend.

After hearing what Shangguan Ying said, Mu Hongzhou nodded slightly to show his agreement.

However, his deep eyes still could not hide the lingering worry, and he whispered back, "Well, I hope it will be as you said."

At this moment, she was still feeling somewhat uneasy.

She had seen this girl once before, hurt and without a purpose.

After all these years, she still worries about her.

Seeing that Mu Hongzhou still couldn't completely let go of his worry, Shangguan Ying decided not to continue the topic.

She stood there quietly, a breeze blowing past.

After a moment of silence, Mu Hongzhou nodded as if he had understood something, and then he couldn't help but sighed: "That makes sense."

As she spoke, she slowly glanced around, taking in the beautiful scenery before her.

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she suggested, "Hey, since the scenery here is so pleasant and the environment is so quiet and peaceful, why don't we live here for a few more years? Stay away from the hustle and bustle of the world and enjoy this rare leisurely life."

There was a hint of anticipation and relief in her voice, as if she had already seen the good times she would spend here in the future.

They haven't felt so comfortable for many years since they left their hometown.

Mu Hongzhou gently raised the hands that were holding the hilt of the sword, and a snowflake floated in and landed lightly on her palm.

She stared at the melting snowflakes and murmured softly, "Looking back, it's been a long time since I've had this much free time to rest."

Her eyes gradually softened, like a pool of crystal clear water in spring, the sparkling waves seemed to reflect the past years that once exhausted her physically and mentally.

"Over the years, there have been ups and downs and constant running around. There has never been a moment to truly relax."

She sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness and fatigue in her tone.

Then, she slowly put down her hand, and the drop of water seemed to understand her thoughts and quietly slipped from her fingertips, like a crystal teardrop falling to the ground.

"And this place... the environment is pleasant, it's really nice."

The corners of her mouth rose slightly, outlining a satisfied smile, like the bright crescent moon in the night sky.

The breeze blew by, gently ruffling her hair. The hair was like black silk, dancing in the wind, emitting a charming luster.

She closed her eyes and quietly felt the warmth of the sun on her face. The warmth penetrated through her skin and into her bones, dispelling the haze that had been accumulating in her heart for a long time.

After a moment, she slowly opened her eyes, with a determined light shining in her eyes, like the brightest star in the night sky.

"Let us enjoy this rare peaceful time."

Shangguan Ying opened her red lips and nodded slightly, saying in agreement: "That's right! However, in the next few long years, we must not be too far away from this girl. After all, this child is not young anymore, and it is indeed time to seriously consider having a child."

Hearing this, Mu Hongzhou was stunned at first, and then she couldn't help laughing. She shook her head and said, "Oh my, it's already such a critical moment and node, and you still have the leisure to think about this kind of thing?"

Shangguan Ying raised her beautiful eyebrows slightly, and asked back with a slightly dissatisfied tone: "Hmm? Then according to your opinion, if I don't think about this matter at this moment, then what kind of questions should I think about?"

Mu Hongzhou sighed softly, then cast his gaze towards the end of the distant sky. His eyes seemed somewhat deep and solemn, and he slowly said, "The current situation is still confusing and unclear. If we are even slightly careless, we are very likely to fall into the terrible abyss from which there is no return."
