Chen Er is dead?

Mengbao looked back at Shen Nanzhu suddenly, and his hat was slightly lifted by the wind.

She didn't know why the first thing she saw when she heard the news was not Zheng Sumei, but the man next to her.

Chen Er died......

He's dead......

Is that him?

Is it because of her?

Her mind seemed to go blank for a moment, but it seemed to be crowded with a mess that she didn't know what else to do but look at him.

"On the day that Mrs. Shizi left the Dingnan Hou Mansion," Zheng Sumei continued, "My husband, Jun Chen Er, accidentally fell into the lotus pond of your mansion and drowned. ”

Drowning......

Mengbao's ears were buzzing, and his face under the hood was very pale.

"Bao'er."

Shen Nanzhu called softly and reached out to hold her arm.

The woman's arm hidden under her shirt was trembling slightly, and although he tried his best to hide it, he could still detect that she was trembling.

She's in ...... Scared?

Afraid of what?

Afraid of him?

Shen Nanzhu slowly let go of his hand and turned to look at Zheng Sumei.

"My wife has been feeling cold recently, and it is inconvenient to stay outside for a long time, if Mrs. Chen has something, please come to the house to hand over the greeting post to meet again and say goodbye."

…………………………

Mengbao didn't know how he got back to the small courtyard, but he felt that the road seemed to be a little cold, and his hands kept clutching the cloak on his body.

Shen Nanzhu looked at her in a trance, knowing that this matter could not be concealed after all, and finally spoke after being silent for a long time: "I killed the person." That's right. ”

The woman in front of her seemed to tremble again, and her lowered head was buried deeper, not knowing whether she didn't want to or didn't dare to look up at him.

"Are you afraid of me? Boa? Are you afraid of me? ”

The woman was silent, and his gaze sank from her silence.

A pair of small hands grabbed the clothes around his waist at this moment, and then walked behind him, encircled her, and the delicate body leaned against his arms.

"Bao'er ......"

Shen Nanzhu muttered in disbelief.

Meng Bao shook his head in his arms: "I am indeed afraid, but not afraid of you, but afraid of this matter itself. ”

"The only time I've been close to death before was myself, and I've never seen anyone die. Or that I haven't seen anyone I know die. So...... Sort of, not used to ......"

Not used to it?

If he could, Mengbao would rather not get used to it for the rest of his life.

But apparently, in this world. By this man's side. She's not used to it. Try to accept and adapt.

The sentence "The only time I came close to death was myself" made Shen Nanzhu's heart ache, and he reached out and hugged her tightly.

"Don't be afraid. There I am. Bao'er, I will be there in the future. ”

Don't be afraid.

There I am.

He also seemed to have spoken to her a lot before.

Mengbao suddenly felt a little settled in his heart, closed his eyes and found a comfortable position in his arms.

"I knew you had to do this at the time, Mei Xiang Mei Ling saw me meet him with her own eyes, and Baozhu sneaked out again. No matter what the reason for our meeting is, as long as this matter spreads a little bit, Chen Er will put all the blame on me in order to shirk responsibility, then my life will be over. ”

"If you really want to punish Chen Er, there are thousands of ways to make his life worse than death, you don't have to kill him at the time. You are doing this for my sake, because you are afraid that he will tarnish my reputation and ruin my reputation. ”

"I know, Azhu, I know."

"Even though you were angry at the time, you were still thinking about me. It's like when you heard us talking in the distance early in the morning, but you didn't show up until I threatened Chen Er and said that I was going to shout out. ”

"You're afraid that I'll really shout out and make a big deal and it won't end well, so you deliberately showed up at that time."

"I know, I know everything. Azhu, thank you, thank you......"

Shen Nanzhu hugged her in a daze, and inexplicably felt that his eyes were a little sore.

He should have come to comfort her, but now how did it turn around?

"It's not because of you, girl," he said, "it's me who doesn't like him, it's that I want to kill him." ”

It has nothing to do with you, that qiē has nothing to do with you in the first place.

Mengbao shook his head: "None of us should take it on ourselves, I won't take it on myself, and you don't take it on yourself." ”

"Don't worry, I won't think that this incident was caused by me just because you killed Chen Er for me, and I felt that I killed him."

"When he said that he liked me, he turned around and married another woman, and later, knowing that I was married, he came to make trouble several times, and even took the opportunity to sneak into the garden and force me to meet him."

"He doesn't know what will happen to me if these things are discovered, but he still doesn't care about it. Since he can ignore my life and death for his own interests, then what do I care about him so much? ”

"So Azhu, believe me, I really just heard about the dead and was a little scared, and I didn't mean anything else."

"I don't care if he lives or dies, nor do I care that the person who killed him is you, I just ...... It's just a little bit ......."

"I know," Shen Nanzhu kissed her lightly on the forehead: "I know, no need to say more, Bao'er." ”

She's just afraid of killing, afraid of him next to her to kill.

It may have something to do with the habits of the place where she was, where she had an instinctive fear of death.

She was afraid of the two things of "killing" and "dying", not anything else.

Just like when her grandmother wanted to kill the two house slaves in the concierge with a cane, she was also so frightened.

Mengbao breathed a deep sigh of relief in his arms, wrapped his arms tightly, and buried his little face in his chest unwilling to get up.

They had gone through so many messes that it was hard for them to open up to each other, and she was really afraid that there would be a gap again because of this.

Fortunately, she made it clear, fortunately, she did not hesitate to swallow these words back into her stomach, otherwise I don't know if there would be an unnecessary misunderstanding again.

"Miss Zheng won't come to the capital to find me, right?"

Mengbao asked, leaning into his arms.

Shen Nanzhu rubbed her shoulders and said in a low voice: "It seems that this Mrs. Chen was a famous talented woman in Bei'an City when she was in the boudoir, and the Zheng Mansion was powerful in Bei'an, so she could find out some things in the corners." I guess she guessed something from this, so I'm looking for you to confirm it. ”

"What then?"

Mengbao raised his head and frowned slightly: "What should I say?" ”

She hadn't asked how Shen Nanzhu handled those things after she left Bei'an, so she didn't know how to face Zheng Sumei who suddenly appeared, and she didn't know what to do so as not to affect the Qiqi that Shen Nanzhu had arranged before.

Shen Nanzhu smiled and stroked her cheeks: "Just tell the truth." ”

"Tell me the truth?"

"Well, if she is reasonable, she will naturally not embarrass you anymore. If she is unreasonable, don't be afraid, I have already handled the affairs of Bei'an, and the most she can do is say something unsubstantiated and unacceptable, causing us to be pointed out behind our backs. ”

So? It's nothing, and she doesn't care anyway.

Mengbao nodded: "Okay, listen to you." (To be continued......)
