Chapter 365: WillpowerEditor: Atlas Studios
Thinking about it this way, he didn’t seem to have forgotten about her over ti. Instead, he was missing her more and more.
The emotions that he deliberately suppressed seed to have erupted again at this mont because of Xiaoguo. They ca so quickly and aggressively that he was completely taken by surprise.
Then, Shao Zhan used all his strength to put the jade pendant back into his garnts, near to his heart. This seed to be the only way for him to not break down from thinking about her.

After leaving, Xiaoguo did not go back directly. Instead, she could not wait to find Zhao Yuyan and tell her the good news.
As soon as she entered the room, she realized that it was empty and the bed was clean. The person who should have been lying on the bed was nowhere to be seen. Even Yu Ling was not around. This puzzled Xiaoguo very much.
When she ca out in confusion, she bumped into Yu Ling, who had just rushed back.
"Madam, you’re here!"
Yu Ling said in surprise.
Xiaoguo nodded. Seeing how sweaty Yu Ling was, she asked curiously, "Why are you sweating so much?"
"My mother wanted to drink water. Coincidentally, there’s no more water at ho. There was so delay along the way. Luckily I gave my mother the apple that you sent to us before I went out. Otherwise, she would have beco extrely thirsty by now."
Yu Ling was chattering away as she carried the kettle into the house.
Xiaoguo followed behind her, wanting to ask her where Zhao Yuyan had gone. However, she did not have the chance to interrupt. It was only when Yu Ling looked at her anxiously that she had the chance to ask, "You don’t know where your mother went either?"
"I don’t know. Earlier on, she said that she was thirsty. Had she gone out to look for water because she couldn’t wait any longer? It’s all my fault for coming back so late..."
Yu Ling was filled with regret. If only she had known, she would have co back earlier. Why did she try to be a busybody? If she had not tried to fetch water for that old lady, she wouldn’t have wasted so much ti.
Xiaoguo didn’t agree with Yu Ling’s speculations. It didn’t seem like Zhao Yuyan had gone out to look for water. With this in mind, she asked, "Yuling, see if there’s anything missing from the house."
"What?" Yu Ling didn’t understand why Xiaoguo was asking her about that, but she still looked around seriously. She was about to shake her head when she suddenly thought of sothing. She ran outside and saw that the shovel in the corner had disappeared.
Xiaoguo followed her out. She could tell at a glance where Zhao Yuyan had gone, but she couldn’t tell Yu Ling about it. Hence, she comforted her first before finding an excuse to leave and walk towards the back of the mountain.
After Yu Ling returned to the house, she got more and more uneasy as she thought about it. When she saw Xiaoguo leave, she couldn’t sit still anymore. She wanted to go out and look for her mother. But when she ca out, she saw Xiaoguo, who had just made up an excuse to go ho. In fact, she was actually secretly heading towards the back of the mountain.
Yu Ling was not a slow person. Instead, she was very clear-headed. She had always been very suspicious of her mother and Xiaoguo. The two of them seed to have beco very familiar with each other overnight. From their conversations, it always felt like they were hiding so secrets.
Yu Ling didn’t want to speculate about the two of them, but she still followed Xiaoguo.
Xiaoguo was very familiar with the route. She arrived at the sa place that she had co just the other day.
As expected, she heard a woman coughing before she got close.
Xiaoguo sighed softly and walked over.
"How can you walk so far and dig so much soil when you’re thirsty?"
Zhao Yuyan, who was imrsed in digging, was shocked by the sudden voice. After calming down, she looked at the person.
"Why are you here?"
Hearing her question, Zhao Yuyan guessed that Xiaoguo might have bumped into Yu Ling. She quickly asked, "Did Yu Ling go back?"
Xiaoguo nodded. Zhao Yuyan quickly picked up the shovel and started walking up. As she walked, she said, "If Yuling can’t see , she will definitely start getting anxious.
Xiaoguo pulled her back and said, "If you knew that Yuling would be anxious, why didn’t you lie down and rest?"
"Why should I lie down? In two days’ ti, I can lie down as much as I want. While I can still move, I have to dig out the grave. When the ti cos, I can just make my way here."
Zhao Yuyan was superstitious about having no grave after one’s death. She didn’t want to be like the others, who were wrapped up in a straw mat and thrown into a pit after they died.
Although she couldn’t live with dignity, she wanted to die with dignity.
Even without the burial clothes and coffin, she had to dig a bigger grave and erect the tombstone. She didn’t want to beco a naless person like everyone else after she died.
What she liked the most about herself was her na. It was given to her by her father. When she was born, Magistrate Zhao looked at the courtyard happily and wrote an impromptu poem.
"In the courtyard, fragrant orchids attract a pair of butterflies. In the warm spring, flowers bloom and swallows return."
Xianglan was her mother’s na. Yuyan was her na. She was born during the warm spring season. The swallows had flown for a long ti and returned to this land. Everything seed to be filled with vitality and prosperity.
As for the na "Yuyan
