Chapter 17: The Past (2)

Soon, she became pregnant. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

He awaited with excitement and joy for the birth of a new life.

She was ten months pregnant and gave birth to their daughter.

The newborn child, with his eyes closed, his little face flushed, and he was indescribably cute. Although she is still young, she can already be seen to be very similar to her.

He was overjoyed, holding his daughter in one hand and her in the other. I just feel that I am the happiest man in the world.

She lay exhausted in his arms, nearly unconscious, and didn't even have the strength to open her eyes to look at their daughter. The corners of his lips are smiling happily and contentedly.

At that moment, a sudden change occurred.

The door slammed open suddenly.

He jerked his head back, and several familiar faces overflowing with anger came into view.

It's the Shen family!

He and she had been on the run for a year, and the Shen family had been persevering in searching for their traces. Now, I've finally found it.

His heart sank suddenly, and he was about to kneel down with the child in his arms. The eldest uncle had already opened his mouth angrily: "Come on, bring Miss Nine back immediately." ”

Two tall cousins held him firmly and immobilized, and he called her name in despair and helplessness. She opened her eyes and looked at him with all her might, tears streaming down her eyes.

Both of them knew very well that since the Shen family had found them, they would never let them be together again.

She was taken back to the Shen family and placed under house arrest in the boudoir. The outside of the boudoir was guarded day and night.

He and his daughter were secretly imprisoned in a secluded grange by the Shen family, never to see her again.

Their escape was strictly covered up by the Shen family. The Gu family only thought that she had been sick for a year and recuperated, and soon set a wedding date.

She was unwilling to marry in the capital, intending to seek death.

The eldest uncle said a few words coldly: "You can die if you want, but Shen Qian and the evil seed you gave birth to don't want to live anymore." If you want them to live, just give me a good body and marry into the Gu family. ”

She cried to death, but had to give in.

On the day before he got married, Zheng's mother told her that his right leg was broken and he would never be able to walk like an ordinary person again.

The eldest uncle is the patriarch of the Shen family. The order to break his leg was given by the uncle's father. It was a punishment for him and a warning to her.

When she got married, she wore red makeup for ten miles and was lively.

On that day, he was still locked up in a cold, damp firewood room. There were dozens of guards outside the firewood house, and he had no chance of escaping even half a step.

The broken right leg has not yet healed, and the pain is unbearable. These small pains are so insignificant compared to the pain and despair in my heart.

A couple of lovers were broken up so stubbornly.

From now on, she will be the daughter-in-law of the Gu family and Gu Zhan's wife. She will give birth to children for Gu Zhan. What is the point of leaving him alone, living?

He lost the will to survive and refused to eat for three days.

Until the adoptive parents came to him with their children in their arms in tears: "Qian'er, if you insist on seeking death, we can't stop you." It's just a pity for this child, who has never seen his mother since he was born. Now, even her own father is going to leave her. ”

The child was so thin and small, that even the cry was so weak and pitiful.

With tears streaming down his face, he sat up straight with all his might, and held his daughter tightly in his arms.

yes, he can't die.

He wants to live well and raise their daughters to adulthood.

He was imprisoned for another year before he was released from the Grange. After leaving the Grange, he led his daughter to live in a small secluded courtyard where the Shen family lived.

He disappeared for more than two years for no reason, and when he reappeared, he injured his right leg and had an extra child by his side, which inevitably aroused suspicion. Therefore, he had to claim that he had broken his leg while riding. The origin of the child is difficult to explain, so he vaguely declares that he got married in a foreign country two years ago, and his wife has died.

The uncle's father came back and forth, without looking at the child, and warned in a deep voice: "Shen Qian, from now on, you will live here in peace, and you are not allowed to go out of Xijing for half a step." Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

"Don't worry about Meijun anymore. Let me tell you, after Mei Jun married into the Gu family, Gu Zhan cherished her very much. The two of them are very affectionate, Mei Jun became pregnant in less than half a year after they got married, and now they have given birth to a daughter......"

The last sentence, like a sharp arrow, pierced deep into his chest.

His mind went blank.

She and Gu Zhan are very affectionate, and she gave birth to a daughter for Gu Zhan.

From the moment she was forced to marry, he knew that sooner or later there would be such a day. When this day really came, he realized that all his mental preparations were so pale and weak.

After the eldest uncle left, he sat for a long time in despair, his heart empty, as if it had been hollowed out.

The daughter, who had just learned to walk, staggered over and called out to her father in a milky voice.

He burst into tears in an instant and hugged his daughter's small body into his arms.

Lan'er, now, dad is only you.

Two years later, the adoptive parents each fell ill and died. He led his daughter and depended on each other in a small courtyard.

He has always stayed in the courtyard and rarely goes out on weekdays. After a long time, outsiders almost forgot that there was such a person as him in the fifth room of the Shen family.

He thought that he would never have the chance to see her again in his life.

A few years later, she secretly sent a letter. The letter contained only a few short sentences.

Fifth brother, I'm going to the border to find Gu Zhan, and in ten days, I'll pass through Xijing. I'll be waiting for you at the docks.

He clutched the thin piece of paper tightly, and his heart was filled with great joy.

Ten days later, he put his daughter to sleep, and then went out of the house at night to the docks. At a glance, I saw the official ship with the mark of the Dingbei Marquis Mansion.

Zheng's mother was already waiting by the dock and led him quietly onto the boat.

He and her were separated for six years, and finally met again.

The two looked at each other silently under the lamp, and then wept relatively closely.

She didn't ask anything, only said, "Fifth brother, I need a son." If God has mercy, let me conceive your child tonight. ”

They only had a short night together.

He hugged her delicate body with both sadness and excitement.

A night of pleasure as if stolen from God. Before dawn, he hurried up and left. Before parting, she clearly didn't sleep, but lay on the bed with her eyes closed, tears constantly sliding from the corners of her eyes.

Holding back sour tears, he turned to leave.

……

Memories of the past are flooding in.

Shen Qian's eyes flashed with thick sourness and pain.

Mother Zheng took in his expression, and couldn't help but sigh: "Fifth young master, the old slave knows that you have suffered a lot over the years, and the little lady has also been wronged. But Miss hasn't had a good time all these years. ”

"In the eyes of outsiders, Miss enjoys all the glory of food and clothing. Only the old slave knew that the young lady had always been bitter in her heart. There's not a day that she doesn't think about you two fathers and daughters. ”

"But she is Mrs. Hou of Dingbei, and the Hou Mansion doesn't know how many eyes are staring at her. She can't afford to have a little bit of a walk, she doesn't dare to have someone send you a letter, and she doesn't dare to mention you in front of people. I can only secretly wipe my tears in the middle of the night. ”

"Now, I've finally come to the end of the bitterness. Gu Houye died on the battlefield, the three-year filial piety period has expired, and your father and daughter have also come to the capital. Now the family can finally be reunited. ”

Oh, yes!

Thinking of the Shen family, thinking of Gu Jinyan's little face that looked like him, Shen Qian's heart swelled with great joy. The perennial gloom in his expression finally dissipated.

"God treats me well, Shen Qian is not thin. Unexpectedly, in my lifetime, my ninth sister and I would have the day to reunite. ”

Even if he couldn't see her often, he was so close to her, and he was already satisfied in his heart.

What makes him even more pleased is that his daughter, who has been lonely since she was a child, can finally be with her mother.

Although, Shen Qinglan will never know that the Shen family is her mother.
