If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 921 Cai Xiaoshuang

Song Changqing's mother, Cai Xiaoshuang, had a similar situation to Xiaoyu's friend Ziying: when she was young, her already poor family suffered a change, and her parents reluctantly sold their beautiful daughter for money.

Ziying was better looking and after changing hands several times, she ended up in the number one brothel in Tianmen Town.

Cai Xiaoshuang was pretty and dignified, but she was pretty lucky. At least in the first half of her life before she got married and had children, she was lucky and had a happy life.

She was a few years older than Guan Cong, the second young master of the Guan family, and was arranged by Madam Guan to take care of Guan Cong.

The teenage girl took great care of Guan Cong, who was five or six years old, just like an older sister taking care of her younger brother.

Guan Cong also respected and loved her as his own sister.

The two of them got along very well.

At that time, the Guan family had a pretty good reputation.

In fact, even in the period of Guan Huchen and Guan Wenlong, excluding the bad things done by Guan Chenghuang, the Guan family's family tradition is not as good as the best, but more than enough than the worst. It is very bad, but far from the worst.

The Guan family tried their best to support the relationship between Cai Xiaoshuang and Guan Cong and did not do anything to make them feel bad.

Cai Xiaoshuang had grown up, and no Lord Guan had forced her to be a concubine.

In complete accordance with Guan Cong's wishes, Cai Xiaoshuang had a good home, found an honest and wealthy husband, escaped from slavery, and lived a good life with her husband.

When leaving the Guan family, Guan Cong also donated a lot of silver and money to help the Cai family improve their lives.

Cai Xiaoshuang lived a peaceful and ordinary life for several years until her husband died of illness.

Even if her husband died, the inheritance left by the Song family was enough for her to live like Aunt Zhang and Uncle Li in Soy Sauce Lane.

Until she met Guan Cong again.

After Cai Xiaoshuang got married, she and Guan Cong rarely interacted with each other.

After all, it was ancient times, and both of them were adults and had already started families.

Sometimes, keeping distance is actually a form of protection and blessing.

As the saying goes, the poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts.

For families like Aunt Zhang and Uncle Li, it is more than enough to make a living, but if they want to buy bone-strengthening soup for their children to lay the foundation for practicing martial arts, one packet costs six taels of silver, and one packet can only be consumed for six or seven days.

How could a normal family afford one or two taels of silver a day?
But Cai Xiaoshuang came from the Guan family and had seen the young masters and young ladies of the Guan family practicing martial arts.

Even servants had the opportunity to practice martial arts.

Cai Xiaoshuang’s ideas are different from those of ordinary people in Soy Sauce Lane.

Huang Guafu's husband is still Lu Yewei, the "Zhen Yuan Realm Master". Before meeting Xiao Yu again, Huang Guafu had always planned not to let Er Gouzi practice martial arts. She only planned to buy a shop and let Er Gouzi do business.

Cai Xiaoshuang, however, hopes that his son will have a bright future.

So Song Changqing went to the famous "free civil and martial arts academy" in Yingxiang Prefecture - Changchun Martial Arts Hall.

After Song Changqing had practiced Xionglong Gong for several months, Guan Cong finally found out about this and hurriedly brought his old friend's son to live with him.

Guan Cong likes Song Changqing very much. At first, he loves him because of his love for the whole family, but later he really treats him as his son.

He and Song Changqing and her son have a very good relationship and get along very well.

Not only did he bring Song Changqing to the Guan family and personally teach him culture and martial arts, he also adopted him as his adopted son and made him live and eat with his own son Hu Chen.

Well, Wenlong is also Guan Cong's son, but his martial arts talent is very poor. Guan Cong himself has a very high martial arts talent and is expected to become a human immortal before the age of sixty.

Therefore, Wenlong, as the biological son, does not have the opportunity to spend a long time with his father.

Hu Chen and Song Changqing are both Guan Cong's sons and his disciples.

This period of time was the happiest time for Song Changqing. Until he and Hu Chen were thirteen years old, Guan Laozu read the qi for the Guan family's children and prepared the Tongshen Pill.

If it is discovered that a family member has extraordinary luck, he will take the Tongshen Pill and try to activate his innate supernatural powers.

Hu Chen’s luck is like a pillar, colorful in color. He is the son of luck!

There is fairy light on Song Changqing's head, and he seems to have fairy bones.

Even though his son was adopted by Guan Cong, Cai Xiaoshuang still lived in the Song family and could only see his son every few days.

No longer a slave, she got married and became the mistress of the Song family. She definitely couldn't go to the Guan family every day.

One day, she was told that her son was sick.

He was infected with the plague, his cheeks were bruised and his eyes were bleeding.

Cai Xiaoshuang was filled with gratitude towards the Guan family and Guan Cong, and never had a single doubt about them.

Later, Guan Cong also fell ill.

From the time his son fell ill to the time Guan Cong passed away several years later, Cai Xiaoshuang never saw "Brother Cong" again.

Even though Guan Cong passed away, the Guan family still took good care of her and Chang Qing.

Even more caring. In Cai Xiao's eyes.

Changqing's future is almost entirely controlled by the Guan family. Everything that Huchen has, Changqing has, even if it is a reduced-configuration version.

Cai Xiaoshuang was even more grateful to the Guan family.

Just as Guan Cong loves Chang Qing, she also loves Hu Chen very much.

Ten years ago, Hu Chen was seriously injured and "almost" died at the hands of Marquis Lieyang. She was worried for a long time, cursed Marquis Lieyang countless times, and went to the temple every day to burn incense and make wishes.

Hu Chen was betrayed by his wife, and his daughter is also his eldest brother's. He is alone and self-exiled, and Cai Xiaoshuang is very worried.

After Hu Chen left and her son was transferred to the south to serve as the governor, she was still concerned about the Guan family thousands of miles away.

Then she heard the news that the Guan family was wiped out by Yu Fengxian.

Cai Xiaoshuang felt as if he was struck by lightning. He was so angry and anxious that he fainted.

Even though Song Changqing tried his best to stop her, she still took a maid, a groom, and several hundred taels of silver in savings and traveled thousands of miles back to Yingxiang Mansion.

He wore mourning clothes for the Guan family, cried for many times, and distributed all the money to the branches of the Guan family. In fact, they were not short of money.

"Fortunately, Hu Chen went to China a long time ago. God bless us! He didn't let the devil Yu Fengxian cut off the roots of the Guan family." After Cai Xiaoshuang returned to Tiehuo City, he said to Song Changqing with a thankful look on his face.

"I have heard about the Legend of Yu Fengxian when I was in Tiehuo City. Mother, when you went to Yingxiang Mansion, didn't you hear the storyteller telling the story of 'Yu Fengxian angrily beheading the evil city god'?" Song Changqing reminded tactfully.

"I won't listen! They are used to flattering the powerful and bullying the weak. Yu Fengxian, that little bitch and slut from Hongxiufang, has now become the 'True Immortal of Tianmen Town'. Everyone is flattering her, and even the imperial court is taking sides.

But don’t we know the City God, the First Master, the First Lady, and the Second Lady? What kind of people are they? They are all good people who do good deeds and accumulate virtues! "

Cai Xiaoshuang was very excited and cursed very harshly.

She lived in the Guan family for a long time and had frequent contact with the Guan family before she got married.

At that time, judging from the attitude of the Guan family towards her and the Cai family, they could indeed be considered good people who did good deeds and accumulated virtue.

By the time the relationship between the Guan family and her and her son had deteriorated, Cai Xiaoshuang had already been a widow for many years. Except for the New Year and other festivals, when she would bring gifts to the Guan family and kowtow to the masters and wives, she could not see them or have any contact with them on weekdays.

Therefore, her impression of the Guan family always remained in her teenage years, the most beautiful and innocent years.

In some ways, Cai Xiaoshuang lives a happier life than Guan Cong.

If there hadn’t been the story of “Yu Zaiheng clearing out the evil plague” last year, when Cai Xiaoshuang saw Yu Fengxian with his own eyes this time, he would definitely have rushed over and cursed.

Upon learning that Yu Zaiheng had secretly returned to Western Shu and came to the Ten Thousand Mountains in the south to investigate the monster, and that he met his son by chance when passing by Tiehuo City and wanted to cure his son's illness (the above are the reasons given by Xiaoyu and Song Changqing), Cai Xiaoshuang still wanted to kill him.

Song Changqing's daily meals were all prepared by her. Xiaoyu had lived in the Song family for a few days, so naturally she had to eat.

Her dishes and drinks were also prepared by Cai Xiaoshuang.

She planned to poison "Yu Zaiheng" to death.

She even secretly bought the "Soul-destroying Powder" which was specially used to poison monsters. When it came to the end, she hesitated again.

She didn't poison anyone until Yu Fengxian left quietly like she did when Tathagata came.

However, she also avoided meeting Yu Fengxian on a daily basis, and had a wooden face and did not treat her well when they met.

"Prime Minister Yu was busy with official duties, and not only left Nanshan County, but also left Xishu, and probably returned to Shenzhou.

She is now an immortal, traveling to the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening, coming and going without a trace, very fast." Song Changqing said.

Hearing his son say this, Cai Xiaoshuang felt both disappointed and relieved.

She stared at her son's face and asked in confusion, "Didn't Yu Fengxian help you heal the old facial ailment?

Now that she's gone, your injury hasn't healed yet?"

Song Changqing still had his face wrapped in gauze and wore an iron helmet, dressed the same as usual.

No one else could notice anything unusual, but Cai Xiaoshuang knew that Yu Fengxian stayed at the Song family for several days just to help her son treat his "rotten face and pig eyes".

"Even if Yu Zaiheng is a true immortal, how can he cure it in just a few days? It will take at least three to five years to recuperate." Song Changqing said.

Cai Xiaoshuang believed what he said at that time.

After all, the disease has been around for decades.

When he was in Yingxiang Mansion, he had sought treatment from Doctor Min many times and took a lot of medicine, but his condition did not improve.

How much stronger is “Tianmen True Fairy Yu Fengxian” than Doctor Min?
But two days later, when Cai Xiaoshuang was helping his son clean the bedroom, he discovered something "horrifying": there was a bronze mirror hidden under the pillow.

Bronze mirrors are the most common furniture decorations, but in the Song family, mirrors seem to be taboo items.

Even Cai Xiaoshuang himself doesn't use a mirror.

She was afraid that her son would see himself in the mirror when he came to see her.

Then, Cai Xiaoshuang remembered another thing: his son’s underwear and face towel were clean, without any dirt or stench.

Song Changqing's face was rotten and his eyes were constantly oozing pus, which often made his clothes and towels stink.

Cai Xiaoshuang could naturally smell the odor when she was washing clothes for her son.

That evening, Changqing came back from the yamen and Cai Xiaoshuang immediately took him to the backyard.

"Take off your helmet and scarf and let me see your face," she said directly.

Changqing hesitated for a moment, but still obeyed his mother's orders obediently, took off his helmet, pulled off his veil, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Ah, my son, your face is healed!"

Cai Xiaoshuang saw a strange yet familiar strong face.

He has sharp features, a high nose bridge, and thick eyebrows. My son always keeps his eyes narrowed.

All in all, it is a handsome and mature face.

She felt that the handsome young men in the city were no more handsome than her own son.

Cai Xiaoshuang should feel unfamiliar with this face. After all, it is very different from the previous one.

But she felt familiar.

In fact, Song Changqing himself also felt that it looked familiar.

His facial features are about 60% similar to his dead father.

His facial features are very similar to Cai Xiaoshuang.

“Thank God, my son has finally recovered from the aftereffects of the epidemic after decades.

You can find a wife, I will have a grandson, the Song family finally has descendants, and I can go to the underworld to see your father!" Cai Xiaoshuang cried with joy and spoke incoherently.

"Thanks to Yu Zaiheng's miraculous medical skills." Song Changqing also laughed happily.

"Yu Zaiheng"

Hearing this name, Cai Xiaoshuang gradually regained her composure and stared at his face again and again, "Your face has already healed, why did you hide it from me?"

"I didn't mean to hide it from you. Yu Zaiheng told me not to be exposed to the light or wind for the next period of time. I will have to wear a helmet later." Song Changqing said.

Cai Xiaoshuang really wanted to believe what his son said.

Before, she had always believed her son's explanation, including the aftermath of the epidemic.

Her heart was beating fast now, especially when she looked into her son's eyes.

A huge and terrifying shadow seemed to rise from the bottom of my heart.

"Open your eyes and let me see," she said.

"Didn't I open my eyes?" Song Changqing still squinted.

"Open your eyes wider!" Cai Xiaoshuang's tone became stern, and his voice was trembling a little.

Song Changqing tried hard to suppress the light in his immortal eyes, making his pupils dull and ordinary.

“No~” Cai Xiaoshuang’s chest rose and fell violently, and his voice was as sharp as the cry of an old crow, “This, this is not your eyes, it is, it is Hu Chen’s~~Ah~~These are your eyes, your eyes, not Hu Chen’s~~”

She still recognized the faint glow in his eyes.

She seemed to see Guan Huchen's reflection in his bright pupils.

But these eyes are so harmonious on his son's face.

What was even more terrifying was that she couldn't help but think of a chapter in "The Legend of Yu Fengxian": Guan Chenghuang dug out the sword bone for the second time!
Cai Xiaoshuang indeed hated Yu Fengxian and was unwilling to listen to any stories that "whitewashed" Yu Fengxian or praised her.

I especially don’t like “Legend of Yu Feng Xian”.

But after Yu Zaiheng cleared the monster plague in the Quicksand Region last year, not only Western Shu, but dozens of nearby kingdoms were grateful to Yu Zaiheng and worshipped her as a deity.

"The Legend of Yu Fengxian" has become the "Bible" of the "Zaiheng Religion".

Especially in the Ten Thousand Mountains in the south, the problem of monsters is the most serious.

Tiehuo City even built a "Zaiheng Temple" specifically for Yu Zaiheng.

If you haven't heard of "Legend of Yu Fengxian", you won't be able to fit in at the tea parties attended by old men and women on the streets.

In other words, as long as you are still walking around the streets chatting and bragging with the old men and women, it is impossible that you have not heard of "Legend of Yu Fengxian".

The story of Guan Chenghuang digging out the bone of the Yu Fengxian sword and giving it to his granddaughter Guan Tianfeng is very thrilling and can even be regarded as a horror story.

Anyone who has heard it once will be impressed and will never forget it.

The same is true for Cai Xiaoshuang.

In the past, the Guan family and Song Changqing had always concealed the fact of the immortal eyes from her. Cai Xiaoshuang vaguely sensed something, but because of her limited knowledge, she could not imagine the plot of "eye replacement" at all.

Because she trusted the Guan family too much, she never thought about it in this way.

She had heard about "The Legend of Yu Fengxian" in the past two years, but the Guan family had long since disappeared, and Song Changqing was living a normal life in Tiehuo City. She still didn't think about the "immortal pupils".

Now that I see my son's eyes, I think of Yu Fengxian personally treating his illness.
A horrifying guess naturally appeared in Cai Xiaoshuang's mind.

Once I thought of this possibility, all the doubts and discords of the past seemed to have been perfectly answered.

"Ah, how could this happen, Oh God, how could this happen, Brother Cong, Master, Ancestor, how could you treat my son like this~~~Wuuuu~~~" Cai Xiaoshuang's face turned pale, he wailed loudly, and his body was shaking.

"Mom, don't cry, don't get excited!"

Song Changqing hurriedly supported his mother, his face full of worry, but he didn't know how to persuade her.
