Chapter 413: Catharsis (I)
Sister Li supported her wife while her eyes turned to Shen Mei, and her eyes signaled him to come over to say hello.
Shen Mei hesitated, and finally decided to step forward to say hello, even if it was to face her mother as a stranger.
"Madam, this is a short-term worker who was just recruited into the yard a few days ago." Sister Li beckoned to Shen Mei.
"Hello madam, I'm Lu Jiu." Shen Mei lowered her eyes, not daring to meet her mother's eyes at all, for fear that the mother and daughter would connect with each other, and if her mother noticed something, she would not be able to help it.
Madame looked at Shen Mei with kind eyes. "Well, okay, this guy is so good-looking, I don't know how old he is." I don't know if it's because Shen Mei is handsome or something else, Madame couldn't help but ask more.
"It's sixteen this year." Shen Mei replied truthfully.
The person in front of her was depressed for a while, and then Sister Li noticed something, and motioned Shen Mei to leave quickly with her eyes.
"Madame is resting, and the little one is retiring." Shen Mei retired. Walking slowly, his ears listened carefully to the movements of the two people behind him.
"Madam, don't think about it too much, I think Miss doesn't want to see Madame sad for her all day long." Sister Li's soft voice of comfort drifted into Shen Mei's ears.
For a moment, Shen Mei stood by the wall behind the corridor, standing quietly. "Eh......" a long sigh, similar to the day into night, but the night is long and life is short, she has suffered for most of her life, thinking that she has a considerate husband, a lovely and sensible daughter, thinking that she has lived an imaginary life, raising her head and looking up at the gray sky, she can't see a pleasant scenery, but she is depressed so that people can't breathe.
"You say, why didn't God take me away, Mei'er, my Mei'er......" There was no hoarse cry, just a hoarse voice whispering, as if the water had dried up, and there was no grass in the field, and the human spirit had been drained away.
Shen Mei's body trembled slightly and leaned forward, what she didn't notice was that there were blood stains on the side of her lip biting tightly, and she didn't even know the iron smell in her mouth.
I don't know how long time has passed, until the wind picked up in the backyard, and the sound of conversation behind me didn't know when it dissipated, leaving Shen Mei standing there stunned, motionless, her mood seemed to be heavy, and it was a little dull compared to this uncertain weather.
Suddenly, a thunderbolt split the sky, and the sky changed all of a sudden, with a gust of wind, followed by a thunder and lightning, which disturbed Shen Mei's already low mood, and there was nowhere to hide from sadness for a while.
The raindrops fell in a hurry, and the raindrops of beans jumped down from the ink-stained canopy like this, not joy but a kind of catharsis with thrilling, Shen Mei walked slowly into the corridor, but the wind and rain did not give her a chance to stop for half a minute, and suddenly made people wet and embarrassed, Shen Mei thought to herself, maybe this is God's punishment.
On the way back, I ran into the housekeeper again, and the housekeeper looked at Shen Mei's appearance, and was a little angry, "Xiao Jiu, how did you get this Why did you get it in the rain in the house, I see that you are not in a good state today, go back and rest." Hurry back to find a hurry to change into clothes, I don't know how the weather is, it's all this season and it will change. Let everyone prepare. ”
After hearing this, Shen Mei smiled. "Thank you, Master Butler."
The housekeeper shook his head when he saw the rain on Shen Mei's face, and muttered in a low voice as he walked, "You young people, you don't take your body seriously when you're young, and you will suffer at our age." ”
The sound grew farther and farther away until it dissipated.
Shen Mei walked out of the yard directly, walking in the cold wind, the rain on the horizon was much lighter, there were few people on the street, the drizzle was continuous, the cold wind was gusting, and the mood was extremely low, Shen Mei couldn't feel that there were only sporadic cars and horses left around her.
Suddenly, a person next to him was riding a horse to catch up on the cart, and the horse in front of the carriage slowed down as it passed Shen Mei.
Shen Mei didn't pay attention, only the person in the back compartment of the car gently pushed open the window, and there was a man with a jade face and a crown sitting inside.
The man looked around, and finally didn't see the person he was looking for, his eyes were cold and sharp, and he just glanced at it, and the air around him was a little colder.
Shen Mei was at the moment when the person pushed open the window, her eyes turned to the sign on the carriage, it was the Mo family, and the person sitting in the carriage was Mo Li, coupled with the momentum of killing the ice, as long as she looked back for a moment, she could instinctively tell that the person in the carriage was Mo Li.
Shen Mei hid in the corner of the wall, knowing that Mo was unpredictable from the city, for some reason Shen Mei didn't want to see him at this time, and saw the carriage walking away from a distance, and the blue eyes like the deep sea sank to the bottom of the sea and disappeared.
"Qingyue, did you see anyone just now......" The man's voice was as thick as an old wine.
"Returning to the young master, Qingyue didn't see any suspicious people."
Qing Yue changed his usual outfit, wearing a hat, and the straw hat on his head was pressed very low, so that people couldn't see the face of this person, but he did see something just now, but the person moved too fast, so that he couldn't see the face of the person clearly, but he was thin and small, thinking about it like this, he had some thoughts in his heart.
Shen Mei knew that she would never be able to go on like this again, this was the capital where she had lived, and no matter what happened in the future, she needed to deal with it carefully.
Turning the street, I saw a lantern lit at the door of the house, which was bright, and the whole person was a little more energetic, and the heart that was tired from dealing with all kinds of people and things all day had a little comfort.
Yun Pei had just sent Zhao Linrui out, and several people met him in the corridor.
Zhao Linrui looked at Shen Mei, looked at it seriously, looked at Yun Pei, saw that Yun Pei's expression was still the same, and then nodded slightly at him, Zhao Linrui knew in his heart.
"I haven't seen her for a few days, Miss Shen is a lot more beautiful." With a shallow smile in his words.
The major general laughed. Shen Mei's expression was difficult to squeeze out a smile, the rain on her body had not dried yet, the whole person looked embarrassed, Shen Mei had no time to take care of it, she just wanted to go back quickly.
"Since the major general is leaving, Shen Mei will not send the major general if it is inconvenient, and the young general will go slowly." After Shen Mei finished speaking, she bowed slightly to Zhao Linrui, knowing that Yun Pei's eyes had been watching her closely, but now she was extremely tired and had nothing to explain.
Zhao Linrui smiled and nodded.
Yun Pei stood beside Zhao Linrui, looking at Shen Mei's back as she was about to leave.
"Linrui, I still have something to talk to Shen Mei, you go back first, I won't send it." Yun Pei didn't give Shen Mei a chance. grabbed one of Shen Mei's arms and went to his study.
