He didn't say his doubts, but was a little stunned. Seeing him staring at him with a frown, he nodded and replied: "Okay."

Ning Nanyou pushed the door and left Tingxuan Tower.

Dou Yueshan was awake at this moment, sat on the edge of the bed and sighed, then got up and headed towards the table placed by the window.

In the hidden place, there is a sandalwood box the size of a palm hidden.

He carefully opened the sandalwood box, and there was a ring of Hetian jade inside. On the outside of the ring was carved with a petal like a spoon lotus, swaying the jade phoenix on the Yaotai. There was a word engraved in the heart of the flower in the center, calling it the moon. The whole ring was very exquisite.

This ring is a pair of the ring ring with the Hotan phoenix-patterned jade ring on Ning Nanyou's left thumb.

Dou Yueshan stared at the ring for a long time, and the light in her eyes dimmed, and a feeling of sadness gradually flowed.

He wanted to put the ring on his thumb, but he couldn't get it in. The ring's finger circumference was very small, as if it could only be worn by a child. Unfortunately, he had already missed the age to wear him.

After a long time, Dou Yueshan sighed, found a red thread in the dressing box on the desk, penetrated it through the empty opening of the ring, tied it firmly, and then put it on her neck.

He put his jade ring close to his body into his clothes, and a bitterness appeared on his face, as if he was missing someone.

The next day, Jiang Chengjia and Ning Nanyou went to Mutongzhai where Dou Taijun lived, and saluted the old lady, and worshiped the New Year again. They went to Mrs. Cao to pay New Year's greetings together, but unexpectedly found that Dou Yueshan went to Liyue Pavilion where Mrs. Cao lived in the early morning and was waiting beside her.

Ning Nanyou stood behind the Yuemen. Seeing Cao showing a gentleness that he had never felt before to Dou Yueshan, and talking to him with great affection, he couldn't help but pull Jiang Chengjia to stop behind the screen wall.

She stood behind him, poked her head out and looked into the courtyard of Liyue Pavilion. From a distance, she saw Dou Yueshan leaning obediently beside Cao, laughing and coaxing her. The two of them had a great time talking.

She looked at Ning Nanyou worriedly, and saw a faint yearning and expectation on the young man's face.

The way he wanted to get Mrs. Cao to treat her so gently but did not dare to step forward to break the scene made Jiang Chengjia feel deeply hurt.

Mrs. Cao has always treated him seriously, indifferently, and even alienated.

For more than half a year after she married into the Marquis' Mansion, Mrs. Cao treated her much better than Ning Nanyou. Now, she suddenly saw the enviable warm scene of Cao and Dou Yueshan's laughter and enviable, even she was a little envious, let alone Ning Nanyou.

He never asked Cao for anything, but only asked his mother to be safe and healthy.

But even so, when he saw Dou Yueshan and Cao's scenes of laughter and having fun together in such a harmonious relationship, his heart was full of desire.

Such a scene of "loving mother and filial son" has never happened between him and Mrs. Cao.

Before he was seven years old, Mrs. Cao loved him very much. Since that endless nightmare, the gentle and kind mother who always smiled at him in her childhood no longer liked him, and even hated him.

Ning Nanyou knew why Mrs. Cao hated her so much, just because he was Ning Zheng's bloodline. But she hated her father to the core.

He lowered his head in disappointment, and his bright eyes gradually darkened.

Jiang Chengjia gently held Ning Nanyou's palm. The young man looked at her in a blink of an eye and saw the beautiful woman in front of him smile sweetly, leaning towards him, and gently said in his ear: "Erlang... I will always be with you, don't be afraid. Mother, she is not not not not loving you, but just shy to express her words. She is also very concerned about you."

These words seemed to be like a breeze blowing through Ning Nanyou's heart, sweeping away all the bitterness and depression in his heart.

The young man took a deep breath, then wrote a kiss between her forehead, and said with a doting smile: "With you accompanying you, this life is enough."

Only then did she adjust her mood, lead her to the hospital barrier, and walk around the screen wall.

"What are you talking about with your mother? You are so happy?" Ning Nanyouqiang pretended not to care, changed into a smile, and curled his lips slightly.

When Mrs. Cao saw him, the smile on the corner of her mouth fell unconsciously. The originally comfortable and warm atmosphere suddenly became a little cold.

Dou Yueshan saw that Cao did not answer, and Ning Nanyou was almost unable to hold on, so she hurriedly said, "Brother Zhaoyuan, I am talking to Mrs. Cao about Chang'an! Over the years, the area around the capital has changed a lot, especially Chang'an. Mrs. Cao hasn't been to Chang'an for a long time and asked me."

Ning Nanyou was reluctant to speak because of Cao's sudden cold attitude.

Seeing that the atmosphere became more and more awkward, Jiang Chengjia continued, "No wonder my mother is so happy!"

When Mrs. Cao saw her talking, she smiled and said, "A Luo? I feel heavier recently? Is it so bad that Xike is so awesome?"

Jiang Chengjia nodded and said, "It's much heavier... It's not as good as before the New Year, and it's slightly better."

She stroked her lower abdomen and a gentle and quiet smile hanged on the corners of her lips.

Mrs. Cao only looked at Jiang Chengjia and said pamperingly: "Girl, you have to pay special attention recently. You are not in good health and almost had an abortion. It is a miracle to save this baby, and you must take good care of it."

After saying that, Cao looked at Ning Nanyou and said, "Aluo was frightened during pregnancy, half of it was your fault. Zhaoer, you should take care of it more carefully. If there is anything wrong with Aluo and my grandson, I will definitely seek trouble for you!"

Ning Nanyou was stunned. Seeing that Cao was finally willing to say something more to him today, he was naturally happy and nodded gently, "Son, remember his mother's instructions."

Since Cao learned that Jiang Chengjia had suffered a serious crime in Guangxin and almost had a miscarriage, she became angry with Ning Nanyou and repeatedly thought that he shouldn't take Jiang Chengjia to such a dangerous place.

Although Jiang Chengjia had explained to her many times that it was not his fault that she was willful and wanted to follow Ning Nanyou to Guangxin with her, Cao still felt that Ning Nanyou failed to protect her, which made her frightened during pregnancy.

So in the past month, Cao's attitude of waiting for Ning Nan's worries has returned to his previous indifference.

Jiang Chengjia covered her mouth and smiled, "Mother, during the month after Erlang returned, he has done a good job of taking care of his daughter-in-law in every possible way."

Ning Nanyou stood aside and said nothing.

Mrs. Cao just nodded and said, "It's also worth it for him to treat you well."

The couple sat in Liyue Pavilion for a while. When they were about to leave, Mrs. Cao suddenly called Ning Nanyou who had been silent.

"Zhaoyuan, wait."

Ning Nanyou turned around in surprise and looked at Cao.

"What are your mother's instructions?" He bent down slightly and asked Mrs. Cao.

Cao was a little hesitant, lowering his eyes and wondering what he was thinking.

Jiang Chengjia and Ning Nanyou looked at each other with a strange look on their faces, and then continued to wait in front of Cao and wait for her to speak.

"In recent years, you and Ziyue have always been in good condition, and your mother also sees it. Otherwise, you two will sacrifice to each other's ancestors and be brothers during the reunion of the New Year holiday?" Cao hesitated for a long time and finally spoke up.

Dou Yueshan and Ning Nanyou were both stunned, even Lian Jiang Chengjia showed a surprised expression.

"Mother...how did you mention this matter very well?" Ning Nanyou said inconsolably.

Dou Yueshan looked nervous, and even couldn't straighten her tongue when she spoke, and said stammeringly: "Madam Cao... For so many years, my younger generation and brother Zhaoyuan have always been like brothers. Why do you need to worship the ancestors and make a feud?"

However, Cao said stubbornly: "You two have officially worshipped for your brothers, so that Dajun Dou can truly become Zhaoer's grandmother, and you can also call me a mother. This is the family, right?"

Ning Nanyou's brows were locked deeply, and he stood in front of Mrs. Cao, staring at her with his eyes, trying to see something from her face.

However, Cao was too calm, with a slightly pale and pathological look on his face and his delicate face.

"This matter... why did my mother refuse to do it back then?" Ning Nanyou said in confusion: "My son and I felt like they were in the same mind as me for the first time. I also had the idea of ​​worshiping and charity. But back then... it was the mother who rejected her son in person. Why did she suddenly turn this out again today?"

When he said this, his tone was filled with dissatisfaction.

Cao said coldly, "After all these years, I naturally hope that your brothers and I can continue to live in harmony. I thought, since you had such a meaning, you might as well make a fraternity and worship. Why, now I am willing, do you not want to?"

Mrs. Cao's words were aggressive.

Jiang Chengjia watched the scene aside and became frightened, fearing that the two of them would quarrel about it.

"Where is my mother's words? Over the years, Mr. Dou regards his son as his grandson, and he also regards me as his elder brother. If you say worshiping ancestors and sworn brothers, that is what rituals are necessary. But... my son is curious, why did his mother's attitude suddenly change? Just ask casually." Ning Nanyou bent in front of Cao, never putting down the etiquette.

Cao said a little annoyed: "Zhaoer, where did you get so many problems?"

Jiang Chengjia saw that Mrs. Cao was a little displeased and was about to go forward to smooth things over, but he heard Dou Yueshan say on the side: "Brother, since Mrs. Cao agrees, you and me will become Jinlan together. From now on, I and my brother will share the blessings and suffer difficulties."

He staggered the topic and called Ning Nanyou the elder brother, temporarily alleviating the awkward and tense atmosphere in the hall.

Cao slowed down his tense face and his tone slowed down a lot, and said, "This matter is settled like this. I will discuss and decide on all the items needed to worship ancestors and sworn brothers. You three will retreat first. After talking for a while, I will be exhausted."

Ning Nanyou knew that Mrs. Cao was no longer willing to say anything more to him, and he felt uncomfortable, but he could only endure this loss and bow to his mother again: "Mother has a good rest, and her son will leave."

Jiang Chengjia followed him silently and retreated from Liyue Pavilion.

After Dou Yueshan and his wife left, they bowed to Cao and retreated.
