Lightning crossed the sky, reflecting a cold blue light in the dark sky, dark clouds pressed the top, heavy rain fell like a waterfall, several thunders roared, and the whole Jinling was enveloped in heavy rain.
The buildings in the distance turned into a hazy shadow in the rain, the rain struck the car windows one after another, and the rustle of the wipers mixed with the sound of the engine sounded rhythmically. Shen Qiang Rose sat by the window, watching the drizzle, the dark clouds overhead, gray and gloomy.
All the streets were on the roadblocks, and when I looked at it from a distance, I saw the heavily armed guards standing in the rain, as if they were on alert. Shen Qiangrose intuitively felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help but look at Fan Zicheng and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Fan Zicheng paused, and Fang said: "It's nothing, martial law is a common thing in wartime." ”
Shen Qiangrose listened to his indifferent tone, so she didn't think much about it, and turned her head to see that the doors of all the shops on the main street were closed, and newspapers were flying all over the sky, and they were wet from the rain. The rain fell like needles, and everything in the city was covered up as if it were only this miserable rain.
The car sped all the way, turned two streets, and arrived at Qiao's foreign company. Fan Zicheng opened the car door, propped the umbrella on her head, and saw the baby sleeping peacefully in the basket in a blink of an eye, hesitated for a moment, but did not speak.
Shen Qiangrose naturally understood what he was going to say, but she didn't see it, and entered the foreign store with the baby in her arms. I saw Qiao Yunhua coming over and said, "For such an irrelevant person, you really dare to risk your life." ”
Shen Qiangrose saw that his face was not good, so she said, "Thank you Young Master Qiao for your help." ”
Qiao Yunhua glanced at the baby in her arms, looked at her, and saw that there was no trace of blood on her soft face, and after a few days, her figure had also lost a lot. The breath in his heart disappeared in an instant, and he said: "I can send the child away, but you are yourself, how are you going to explain when you go back?" Those few people in the house are not good stubble. ”
Shen Qiangrose's head had already turned into a pot of porridge, and she only said, "Do you have the whereabouts of the third son?" ”
Qiao Yunhua glanced at her, then shook his head, "What did you ask him for?" Could it be that he can save your life? ”
Shen Qiangrose didn't want to tell him about these private matters, so she said: "I just saw that all the martial law on the street was under martial law, so I asked casually." ”
Qiao Yunhua didn't continue the topic, "Give me the child, you still have to think about how to explain it when you go back." After a pause, a pair of eyes looked her up and down, and said lightly: "I heard that Mrs. is pregnant?" It's really gratifying, I'll definitely give you a big gift tomorrow. ”
Shen Qiangrose listened to what he said, but she didn't want to ask at the moment, handed the child to him, and instructed: "You have to find him a nurse as soon as possible, you see how sensible this little guy is." ”
Qiao Yunhua saw that her mother's love was overflowing, but she frowned impatiently, "I know, you go back quickly." ”
Knowing that it was very likely that she had entered the fire, she didn't want to say more, only lightly, "If you are sentenced, remember to save yourself and wait for me to save you." ”
Shen Qiangrose only thought he was joking, so she pretended to be relaxed and said, "Where did you need to save me?" There are seven less, and they won't do anything to me. ”
Qiao Yunhua instinctively sneered and asked rhetorically, "Really?" ”
Seeing him like this, Shen Qiangrose couldn't help but smile, turned around and walked out. The rain outside was extremely heavy, Qiao Yunhua looked at her back, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, but she didn't speak.
She wore a water-pink cheongsam today, with a few peach blossoms sparsely embroidered on the hem, as if the petals were embellished on the hem of the clothes, vaguely as if she had smelled the fragrance of flowers.
He used to only think that these colors were not good-looking, he was used to seeing women dressed fashionably, but now when he saw her fading back, he knew that what he liked had always been that kind of light and light.
With a faint sigh, he handed the child to the messenger, raised his eyes to see the rain outside the window, and commanded, "Take care of this child, if he loses a hair, you will be careful for me." ”
Due to the failure of the battle situation on the front line, Su Shengbai was furious, and called all the staff to the Overseer's Mansion in one company. All the antique vases in the study were smashed, Su Shengbai was old, and when he was born like this, his face was already red, and even his hands were trembling, and he sat on the chair and said with a short breath: "Find someone along the front line of Chenzhou!" All the garrisons on the front line stood by in place, and sent three more divisions over to tell Li Hongwang that if Chen Zhou was not taken back, I would take the lives of his whole family! ”
He slapped the table hard, "Don't go yet." ”
Adjutant Fang immediately responded and walked out, Su Shengbai stroked his chest and instructed: "Now that Lao Qi is missing, life and death are uncertain, this matter must not leak the slightest rumor!" ”
Several staff members nodded when they heard this, but no one dared to persuade them. This time, the main reason for the loss of Chenzhou was that there were spies within the Soviet army, and the third son, Su Ziyu, actually united with the Pingjia army to openly rebel, not only helping Fusang capture Mingyang, but also taking all the fronts of Chenzhou.
More than half of the Soviet troops were killed and wounded in this battle, and the commander-in-chief Su Huiyi is now also unknown whether he is alive or dead. Su Shengbai had to urgently recall Su Qingyang, and sent all the defenses along the line to reorganize the army, and remove all the commanders of several theaters.
Su Shengbai was a general who had been on the battlefield for many years, and he quickly deployed a new battle plan, and the various staff members drafted a document for telegraphing the whole country. At this moment, he was already a lot calmer, and while listening to the solution, he gritted his teeth and said: "That kid is really the opposite, and now the newspapers in Jinling have added fuel and vinegar to his defection to the enemy, and I have become the laughing stock of the entire southern land!" It's really a family misfortune. ”
He naturally knew who was fanning the flames behind this matter, so he forcibly suppressed his anger and said calmly: "I only said to the outside world that Lao Qi was injured and needed to recuperate, and all matters were handled by me." ”
As he was talking, he heard a knock on the door, and Adjutant Fang said, "Dashuai, I just heard a report from a messenger that Mrs. Sixth Aunt is useless." ”
Su Shengbai didn't have the heart to pay attention to this, so he roared angrily: "Let her go." ”
These words happened to be heard by Han Wan'er, who had entered the courtyard, she was stunned, turned around and walked away quickly, and asked Lian'er softly, "Shen Qiangrose hasn't come back yet?" ”
Lian'er sighed, "Madam, since the sixth aunt is dying too soon, and now the handsome is still angry because of the war, so it's better not to do it." ”
Han Wan'er held an umbrella and walked forward slowly, crossed the threshold of bluestone flowers, stood under the rain eaves and looked at the small building not far away The eaves were slightly warped, carved with a symbol of wealth and auspicious small beasts, and the showers were raining, enveloping the ups and downs of the small building in the void, revealing a trace of dim light in the darkness.
It seems that the black jade is covered with dust, and there is no translucent color. It's like naughtily stealing the brush on the desk when I was young, and the ink color randomly sketched in the clear basin of water is hazy.
Han Wan'er stopped and watched silently for a long time before saying: "Now that Su Qishao's whereabouts are unknown, Shen Qiangrose has done such a thing again, this time I'm afraid it will be difficult for the gods to save her." ”
She turned her head slowly, "You find a few messengers to catch all the maids and wives in her room to the main hall, and then call those aunts." ”
Lian'er looked at her in surprise, but she didn't dare to ask more, so she had to agree and walk away quickly.
Because the rain was so strong, the car didn't dare to drive too fast, so that when Shen Qiangrose returned to the Overseer's Mansion, it was almost nine o'clock. When I returned to the courtyard of the main house, I saw a little maid standing at the door wiping her tears, and when I saw her, I hurriedly said: "Auntie, something happened, Mother Liu and they were arrested, you should go to the main hall quickly." ”
Where would Shen Qiangrose think that things would come so suddenly, and immediately turned around and went to the main hall. Fan Zicheng followed behind and said, "Madam, the matter has come to this, you must ensure your safety, if they ask, please put everything on the standard." ”
Shen Qiang Rose said without looking back: "Then how can it be done, if it is pushed on you, you will definitely die." Don't worry, no matter what, I'm a seven-year-old person, and now I'm pregnant, they won't do anything to me. ”
Fan Zicheng said: "Madam, you must ensure the safety of you and the child in your belly, and when the time comes, you just need to say that all the things are forced to do by the label, and the child is brought out to join forces with the Qiao family to deal with the Su family." ”
Shen Qiangrose saw that his face was solemn, and it was not good to say anything else at this time, she went to the main hall silently, her heart was up and down, she was busy all morning, her body was already tired, and the smell of moisture mixed with earth hit her, stirring her stomach upside down, and she couldn't help but vomit. The rain hit the back of her hand coldly, and she felt a little clear. This road is very slow, because it is not far away, all the way to the main hall is purple and red, surrounded by greenery, and it is very fresh and fresh washed by the rain.
When I arrived at the main hall, I saw that all the women in the family were sitting inside, even the second aunt who had been ill for a long time was also sitting in the middle, and Fang Yuyan, who was sitting at the bottom, looked like she was waiting to see a good show.
Liu's mother and Xiaozhu were tied up and knelt on the ground, but Liu's mother was calm, but Xiaozhu looked frightened, and when she saw Shen Qiangrose, she was even more anxious to cry, "Grandma, you can come back." ”
When Shen Qiangrose saw such a battle, she panicked in her heart. Raising her eyes, she saw Han Guan'er sitting in the middle, like a housewife, she was holding a cup of tea in her hand, blowing hot air slowly, her delicate face was surrounded by mist, and she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly. She said lightly, "Rose, where are you going?" ”
Shen Qiangrose stood in the hall without being humble or arrogant, and said, "Aunt Seven, why don't you just ask me where my child has gone?" ”
Han Wan'er giggled and said, "Child? What child? The child had just been stillborn. ”
She took a sip of tea, "Aunt Sixth died with that child." ”
Shen Qiangrose might as well say such a thing, she was very puzzled. But he didn't ask, but said, "I don't know what Aunt Seven tied my maid and mother-in-law like this, what is it for?" ”
Han Wan'er put the teacup on the rosewood table, and with a "snap", she said: "It's all come to this point, what are you pretending to be stupid, do you admit it or not?" ”
"What did you say?" Shen Qiangrose asked in shock.
