130 Reunion Dinner
"How did you die?" After recovering a little, Ah Qiao immediately asked about the cause of Ah Zhen's death.
Shen Yan'er was speechless for a while, and after hesitating for a moment, she replied in embarrassment: "I don't know how to sue you, in fact, it's better if you don't know......"
Although it was not difficult for Shen Yan'er to make up a reason, seeing Ah Qiao's shocked and grief-stricken appearance, Shen Yan'er really couldn't bear to lie to him. In addition, Izumo's advice is still in his ears, and his every move is very likely to be under the emperor's surveillance, and if he reveals half a sentence related to the walking corpse, he is afraid that he will end up with a terrible end of ruined family.
No wonder all the show girls can't go home to visit their relatives, and Shen Yan'er has a deep understanding of the reason. Once the show girl returns home, she will inevitably be asked by her family about what happened in the mass grave, and even if the show girl is warned in advance to keep it a secret, it is difficult to prevent the information from accidentally leaking out.
Shen Yan'er was reluctant to say, and Ah Qiao and the others didn't dare to ask. Shen Yan'er's solemn look is enough to prove that she has unspeakable hardships. These relatives who have been with Shen Yan'er for many years can see through her mind at a glance and understand her difficulties.
Ah Qiao, who cared most about Ah Zhen, stared at Shen Yan'er's eyes full of apology and self-blame, even though her stomach was full of ** who wanted to ask questions, she gritted her teeth and swallowed all those questions. He twisted his head in pain, his eyes already covered with thin tears, and his eyelids rolled down at the slightest twitch.
In fact, Ah Zhen could have survived, but she made a very stupid decision...... She died to protect me......" There is only so much that Shen Yan'er can reveal to Aqiao. Afraid that if she continued to say more, she would break the taboo, so she turned to leave.
At this time, Aqiao couldn't hold back any longer, raised his head and blinked his eyes a few times. Just like that, he kept his head up, and said in a choked voice: "Then she must be willing......"
Shen Yan'er nodded lightly and looked at Aqiao's painful appearance sadly. She knew that Aqiao had just said something to comfort herself, and Aqiao didn't want to see herself depressed because of self-blame. The others were also like Ah Qiao, comforting Shen Yan'er softly in a choked voice, leading Shen Yan'er to walk towards Shen Wancai's room.
Just beside Ah Qiao, Jing Hao, who witnessed all the Yiqi just now, and also heard all the conversations between the two, showed an expression of sudden realization. She finally understood why Shen Yan'er excitedly held her hand when she saw her for the first time, and finally understood why Shen Yan'er asked her long and short questions. It turns out that all of them are because of their looks.
Everyone else is gone. Acho stiffened in place, his head pinned in the direction of the wall, his right hand pressed tightly to his eyes, his throat choked with constant bitterness. Jing Hao sighed, he didn't blame him for the rude just now, and opened his mouth to say something, but after all, he couldn't find the right words, so he could only leave quietly, leaving him alone to grieve alone.

When he came to the door of Shen Wancai's room, before Shen Yan'er could walk in, Uncle Huang shouted loudly into the house: "Master, Miss is back!" ”
There was immediately an excited cough in the room, followed by Zhang Qiaoniang's anxious shouting "slow down" and the sound of clothes rubbing gently. Then he stood up awkwardly on his legs, dragging footsteps slowly towards the door.
In order to let her father take a few steps less, Shen Yan'er subconsciously quickened her pace, trotted into the room, and shouted happily: "Dad, I'm back!" ”
"Yan'er, Yan'er......" Shen Wancai was so moved that he kept calling again and again, and with Zhang Qiaoniang's support, he moved to Shen Yan'er's side as quickly as possible, and grabbed Shen Yan'er's hand. You're finally back, and Daddy thought he would never see you again...... You obviously don't know martial arts, why do you want to go to the draft, how dangerous is it......"
Ever since he got sick, Shen Wancai has become extremely chattering, and he will say the same words over and over again in a slurred voice. Shen Yan'er didn't wait for him to finish (and couldn't wait for him to finish), so she took his other hand, helped him to sit down on the Taishi chair specially prepared for him with thick cushions, interrupted his chatter, and said, "Don't you think I'm coming back with a good look?" Don't worry about it. ”
"You have been stubborn since you were a child, and even Qiao Niang can't persuade you. Fortunately, this time it was safe and sound, otherwise how would I explain it to your mother......" Shen Wancai kept looking at Shen Yan'er with apologetic eyes when he spoke, and tears of worry and relief flashed faintly in his eyes that had become cloudy due to serious illness.
Shen Yan'er took out a handkerchief, gently wiped away her father's tears, and said; "It's all my fault for being stubborn, I shouldn't insist on entering the palace. You see I'm coming back in good shape, so forgive me. ”
In fact, Shen Yan'er was completely forced to go to the draft by Zhang Qiaoniang, and everyone in the Shen family restaurant knew about it, but only Shen Wancai was still kept in the dark. He still thinks that Shen Yan'er went to the draft because she didn't want to marry Xue Chongqing, the son of Carpenter Xue.
Although Zhang Qiaoniang is very mean to Shen Yan'er, she is meticulous in taking care of her father's body, her dedication is obvious to everyone, plus she is very capable in running a restaurant, and she has also added a little daughter to the Shen family, which is her father's spiritual support.
If his father knew that he was at odds with Zhang Qiaoniang, the Shen family would definitely be restless every day, so sometimes Shen Yan'er suffered losses and kept herself in her heart, and never complained to her father about her suffering.
On the one hand, it is because I don't want my father to worry about it and affect my body; On the other hand, I know that even if I say it, it is useless, and my seriously ill father is powerless to help himself get ahead. The best way is to marry early, so that Zhang Qiaoniang can't bully herself. But Shen Yan'er just praised Xue Chongqing, who was full of praise for everyone, and lacked some special feelings that should be between husband and wife.

Then Shen Yan'er accompanied Shen Wancai to talk. When Jing Hao walked into the room, he was recognized as Ah Zhen again. Shen Yan'er could only re-explain.
Shen Wancai was extremely sorry after hearing this, kept shaking his head and sighing, and said, "The white-haired man sent the black-haired man away, and obviously wanted to marry Ah Zhen to Ah Qiao and stay in the Shen family, but I didn't expect her to go like this", and then counted Shen Yan'er who "insisted on going to the draft" fiercely.
The culprit, Zhang Qiaoniang, listened with a blushing face and a heartbeat on the side, and helped Shen Wancai peel the grapes and feed them one by one, as if she didn't know anything.
After chatting and chatting, it was lunch time, and Aunt Yu and the other servants brought the delicious meals carefully prepared in the kitchen, all of which were Shen Yan'er's favorite dishes since she was a child. Shen Wancai's legs and feet were inconvenient, so everyone dined in his room.
Shen Yu'er, who was playing outside, was called back to the room by Zhang Qiaoniang, and the family sat around and enjoyed this hard-won reunion dinner. Yiqiē is so harmonious and warm, Shen Yan'er's heart is full of emotion.
At this moment, Shen Yan'er suddenly saw a dark shadow passing by outside the window.
