Chapter 28: The Mind Opens Up
Chen Xiaoyao saw Shen Congchen coming, and suddenly lost the mind to compete with Meng Lan.
It is estimated that Shen Congchen is here to give Meng Lan a head again, so it is better for her not to be bored.
After Meng Lan saw Shen Congchen, as if she had taken a reassuring pill, she walked up to Shen Congchen and grabbed Shen Congchen's sleeve, and looked at Chen Xiaoxiao with a sense of arrogance in her eyes.
"Sir, you're here."
Shen Congchen indifferently pulled his sleeves out of Meng Lan's hand mercilessly, and then said to the boss, "Go to the General's Mansion to get two thousand taels." ”
"That clothes ......" The shopkeeper first looked at Chen Yaoyao, and then at Meng Lan.
"Just give it to her." Shen Congchen pointed at Chen Yaoyao and said.
The boss waved his hand, and then respectfully delivered the clothes to her.
Chen Yaoyao pursed her lips, not knowing whether to pick it up or not for a while.
Yu Weili saw that his sister didn't move, so he took it upon himself to take it over, and smiled at Shen Congchen when he was done, with a rather upright expression of Shen Congchen.
"Thank you, brother-in-law, for breaking the bank."
"It's all right to spend as much money as you want." Shen Congchen obediently walked up to Chen Yaoyao and said.
Chen Yaoyao glanced at Meng Lan's expression at this time, and found that Meng Lan's face had a stinky expression, probably because he was angry with Shen Congchen's actions.
Shen Congchen's previous gentleness and love for Meng Lan have now been transferred to others, and it is impossible for Meng Lan not to be angry.
From the time Shen Congchen came in to the time he followed Chen Yaoyao and them away, he ignored Meng Lan, this Mrs. Lan, who was once the envy of everyone, is now abandoned, how can this gap not be embarrassing?
Shen Congchen made his own decision and added three more dresses to Chen Yaoyao, even if Chen Xiaoyao said that he didn't need it, but Shen Congchen still bought them by himself, and these clothes, Shen Congchen ordered them to be sent to Yu's mansion, and the money was for the boss to go to the general's mansion to pick up.
Yu Weili looked at Shen Congchen, who was half a step away from them, turned his head and whispered to Chen Yaoyao: "Your general's head is open?" Why is it so good to you all of a sudden? "It's really strange that he didn't even save face for his Mrs. Lan in front of everyone.
"I don't know, maybe." Chen replied.
Shen Congchen's favorability stagnated at 75, and Chen Yaoyao was also a little anxious.
No, seeing that Shen Congye, the chosen son, was about to come back, she couldn't delay.
So she's going to make a big move.
Chen Yaoyao began to flip through the things in her dresser, but she didn't expect that she really turned over a jade ring pendant that was broken in half, only half of it was in her hand, and the other half didn't know where it went.
She remembered that when Shen Congchen came to her before, Shen Congchen said that Meng Lan had saved his life.
However, neither the original memories obtained by Chen Yaoyao nor the world background given to her by the system mentioned this.
On the contrary, when Yu Weier was lost when he was ten years old, he saved Shen Congchen, who had become a young general at that time, and for this reason, he also left a scar on his shoulder that was stabbed with a sword.
Because of this period of youthful love, Yu Weier was infatuated with Shen Congchen, and even made a wish to make Shen Congchen change his mind and like her.
Chen Yaoyao pursed his lips, and he had a plan in his heart.
At night, Shen Congchen retreated from the door of the main house and found that the room was full of clouds and mist, and the water vapor made Shen Congchen a little confused.
"Weier, are you taking a shower?"
"Well, you can help me bring in the bath towel."
Shen Congchen's throat rolled up and down, and then said, "Okay." ”
Shen Congchen walked in with a bath towel, and Chen Yaoyao was sitting in the bathtub with his back to him at this time.
In addition to the large and small scars on the white back, a dark pink scar that looks old at a glance is extremely conspicuous under the white mist.
"The wound on your back...... Was it all my previous injury? Shen Congchen saw these shocking scars, his heart was swollen and unbearable, and he wanted to take another step forward to take a closer look, but he couldn't take another step forward because he was ashamed and unbearable.
"It's all before...... But the general doesn't have to take it to heart, it's fine. ”
The dark pink scar looked like it was left after being pierced by a sword, but he had never used a sword on Weier, so how did this scar come about?
"How did you get this sword scar on your shoulder?" Shen Congchen asked.
"This one...... This is the one I saved when I was ten years old......"
Chen Yaoyao raised his hand and touched the scar on his shoulder, still facing away from Shen Congchen, "General, do you want to go out first?" ”
Only then did Shen Congchen realize that he had been staring at other people's baths, he coughed lightly twice in embarrassment, and then withdrew and stood outside the screen.
After Chen Yaoyao watched Shen Congchen leave, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then while getting dressed, he told the story about this scar in detail.
"At that time, I followed my mother to the country courtyard, and then I met bandits on the road, causing me and my mother to get lost, and I didn't know where the silver and jewelry on my body went, and I walked alone in the wilderness, and I thought that I was either eaten by wolves or killed by bandits that day."
"Then I walked and met a young man on a horse, and he was very good-looking, riding on a white horse, and his hair was heroic, but when I saw him he was wounded, and he passed out after we had not been long gone."
The more Shen Congchen listened to it, the more familiar he felt this story, so he said, "And then? ”
"Then, then I wanted the horse to drag him on, but who knew that the horse had taken off the reins and ran away, and I had too little strength to drag him, and it was not until it was dark that I took him to an abandoned temple. I thought I would wait for him to wake up, but who knew that in the evening, a group of men in black chased him to the temple and wanted to kill him, so I was hit by a sword in the shoulder in order to save him, and then my eyes were black and I didn't know anything. ”
After Shen Congchen listened, his eyes widened, "You, are you saying that the old scar on your shoulder is because the rescuer didn't have it?" Do you have a jade ring? ”
After Shen Congchen finished speaking, Chen Yaoyao walked out of the screen while wiping her wet hair with a dry towel, and she was also shocked when she saw the half of the jade ring pendant that Shen Congchen took out of his arms.
"W-why is this thing here for you?"
"It's yours." Shen Congchen's tone was determined.
"Well," Chen Yaoyao then walked to the dresser and handed the other half of the jade ring to Shen Congchen, "General, look, these two are a pair together." ”
Shen Congchen put the two ordinary rings together, and sure enough, this jade rings were all together.
Shen Congchen's impression of being assassinated and then saved by a little girl was only limited to the jade ring pendant she saw in a daze, and the back of her blocking a sword for herself.
As for what the little girl looked like, he had completely forgotten it.
He had never seen a little girl wear a ring on her body, and the ring was still wearing a blue tassel, so he remembered it very well.
And he was rescued that day because his subordinates were late enough to save him and the little girl from being killed.
As for why he got separated later, it was because his subordinates said that it was inconvenient to take such a little girl with them, so they put the little girl at a doctor's place, paid enough silver taels and left.
Therefore, this matter has become an obsession in Shen Congchen's heart, he has always wanted to find the little girl who saved him back then, but he can only rely on the ring in his impression to find it, which is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
originally thought that he might never be able to see that little girl again in his life, but who would have thought that when he accompanied the officials in the court to the fireworks restaurant, he met Meng Lan, who was still a singer at that time, and she wore this ring.
Shen Congchen didn't think about it, so he thought that Meng Lan was the little girl back then.
But now that I think about it, when he asked Meng Lan back then, Meng Lan was all put off because he was too young when he was a child, and he forgot about it when he was too dangerous, and he couldn't recall it at all.
Shen Congchen didn't suspect Meng Lan, the little girl who used a sword for herself at the beginning would definitely leave scars on her body, but he and Meng Lan had shared the bed for so many years, and he didn't find any scars on Meng Lan's body.
He was puzzled, but he didn't ask, he just thought that Meng Lan's own healing ability was better, so he didn't leave a scar.
Now after listening to Chen Yaoyao's story, he suddenly realized that Meng Lan had been deceiving herself with this ring from the beginning, and she had a purpose when she approached him from the beginning.
But why did half of this ring go into Meng Lan's hands?
