Twenty-one (5)
However, it was only four o'clock in the morning, and the sky had not yet dawned, and the gray clouds were overwhelming, and the heavy rain was crackling and falling, and the window lattices rustled.
The hall was filled with jasmine incense, and it drifted to the bedroom. Han Wan'er was wearing a Western-style nightgown, sitting in front of the dresser and drawing his eyebrows. There is a smile on her charming face, and she sings a song in her mouth, which is very leisurely.
Su Shengbai sat at the head of the bed and said, "When you are fine, go to the second room to have a look, after all, she is much older than you, and she has done her best in the house all these years, and now that she is sick, I don't want her to be cold." ”
Han Wan'er snorted and glared at him in the mirror, "Isn't the chilling thing you did?" That Xi'er is also in the room that you received from yourself, and now that she is sick, it is when her heart is not going well, you want me to say, you might as well let Xi'er carry the rattan to the second room, and if you want to beat or scold, it will be much more useful than me. ”
When Su Shengbai saw her mention this stubble, he had to coax her a few words, "Where is Xi'er's girl compared to you?" ”
Han Wan'er smiled, and after wiping his honey, he saw Su Shengbai get up and get dressed, and hurriedly stepped forward to help tie the buttons. Su Shengbai saw that her face was like a peach blossom, and she loved it very much, and was about to pull it into her arms, but heard a "report".
He immediately coughed, and saw Adjutant Fang walk in, and said very seriously: "Shuai, something happened on the front line!" ”
Su Shengbai's face changed, he got up and went out, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
The adjutant on that side was in the way of Han Wan'er, and only said briefly: "Fusang has captured Chenzhou." ”
Su Shengbai saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, but he didn't ask again, just walked out silently, and Adjutant Fang followed closely and walked out of the courtyard together.
Han Wan'er was originally eavesdropping in the bedroom, but these two short sentences already made her feel that something was wrong, she changed her clothes and rang the electric bell. Lian'er quickly entered the hall, and when she saw her in a daze, she hurriedly asked, "Mrs. Seven, what's wrong with you?" ”
Han Wan'er raised his eyes to look at her and asked, "Isn't there any news of the third prince yet?" ”
Lian'er shook her head timidly, "It stands to reason that I should have come back a long time ago, and I don't know why there is no news until now." ”
"The old man can't ask anything here, and I don't know if Su Ziyu ran away by himself, or if the two of them are having fun!" Han Wan'er bit his lip fiercely and continued: "It's okay if you don't come back, it's better to die outside and never come back!" ”
Lian'er saw that she was angry, and she didn't dare to speak out. Han Wan'er pondered for a long time, "The situation on the front line is unknown now, but looking at the old man's face, it seems that something has happened, I am panicking now, it seems that some things cannot be delayed any longer." ”
She stood up and ordered, "Prepare the medicine, we will meet the sixth aunt now." ”
Lian'er asked in surprise: "Madam, the child in Mrs. Six's belly may not be born, why do you have to carry this black cauldron!" ”
Han Wan'er has already walked out, she is standing under the eaves, her body is thin as if a gust of wind can blow it down, tears are rolling in her eyes, she bites her lip fiercely, and the bright red honey is full of coating between her lips.
The rain was falling bitterly, cold and cold on her cheeks, she raised her eyes to look at the gray clouds, and suddenly said: "I didn't do it before, because I didn't want to bear this charge, after all, even if it wasn't me, the old man wouldn't let that wild seed go, but now it's different, Lian'er, I have a hunch that he won't come back, he is gone......"
Lian'er listened in the clouds and saw her in tears, but she also knew her temperament and didn't dare to persuade her. The two of them stood under the rain eaves for a long time, and Han Guan'er walked towards the courtyard, and Lian'er followed behind with an umbrella, until she walked out, Han Guan'er took the umbrella from Lian'er's hand, "You go to prepare medicine, I'll go to Aunt Liu's first." ”
She turned and walked away, her eyes clouded by the cold rain, and she couldn't tell whether it was tears or rain. She walked in the huge house with an umbrella, the two sides of the aisle were silent, because of the early morning, the fog and water vapor drifted on the bluestone slab, and the house seemed deeper and quieter.
As if even the air had become cramped, she listened to the sound of the rain, only to feel that her thoughts were messy, and finally walked outside the courtyard of the sixth aunt, but heard the cry of a child from inside, the sound was very weak, but it was still crisp and beautiful.
She immediately paused, looked through the gap in the courtyard door, and saw several people busy, and the cries of children came one after another, mixed with the sound of rain, and she burst into tears.
Then he turned to leave, and the rain had become majestic, washing the ground fiercely. The hem of her cheongsam was soaked, and her thin figure was covered by the rain curtain, and she soon couldn't see it really.
At about five o'clock, Liu's mother walked into the hall quickly, trotted all the way to the bedroom, and shouted while knocking on the door, "Miss, the sixth aunt is too raw, the sixth aunt is too raw!" ”
Shen Qiangrose originally fell asleep in the morning, but when she heard it at this moment, she immediately opened her eyes sleepily and asked in surprise: "Really?!" ”
Mother Liu had already pushed the door and walked in, and said happily: "The maid of the second young grandmother just came to say, she is a big fat boy!" Now it's all right. ”
Shen Qiangrose was very happy, "It's okay if the child is fine, it's okay." ”
Liu's mother nodded, "Said that the child was thin and thin, only three pounds, and the doctor said that there were some congenital deficiencies, and I don't know if there will be any problems." ”
Shen Qiangrose didn't have the heart to think about these now, and only asked, "How is Aunt Six?" ”
Mother Liu shook her head, "I'm afraid it won't work, it's a miracle that she has survived until now." ”
Shen Qiangrose got out of bed in silence, took a cheongsam and changed it into casually, and ordered: "While the people in the house still don't know, think about sending the child out first." ”
Mother Liu hurriedly said, "Miss, can this be done?" ”
Shen Qiangrose fastened the buckle of her neckline and pulled her hair at will, "If you can't do it, you have to do it, that child will definitely not survive if he stays in the house." ”
She walked out of the hall quickly, picked up the phone and dialed the number, and someone on the other end quickly picked up, she said, "Is it Qiao's?" I heard that you have a new batch of foreign goods there, and it is raining outside today, so please send your clothes to the house. ”
After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone, she was anxious in her heart, afraid that the people of the Su family would find out what was going on, she stood up, took her coat and put it on, and walked out.
Mother Liu followed behind with an umbrella, and it wasn't until she left the yard that she dared to ask, "Miss, where are you going?" ”
Shen Qiangwei didn't look back and said: "Go to the sixth aunt to see, there are too many people involved in this matter, once the East Window incident happens, I can protect myself, but it involves the innocent, I am really uneasy." ”
She thought about the whole thing as she walked, in addition to buying the maids in the yard, there were also several mothers-in-law in the kitchen, and even a few messengers on duty at the door were also involved...... Once the incident happens, according to Su Shengbai's temperament, these people will definitely die.
Just how do you get your child out? If the people in the house find the belly of the sixth aunt, how will they cover up the past?
She was thinking disorganizedly, might as well a group of maids and women hurriedly walked to the verandah, and when they saw her, they all looked like they had seen a ghost, and called their aunt and grandmother in a panic.
Seeing this, Shen Qiangrose asked, "Where are you going?" ”
One of them said: "Back to my aunt, Da Shuai has lost his temper, we are going to invite the second wife to go." ”
Something big happened in her intuition, but Shen Qiangrose didn't ask any more questions, just nodded, she was uneasy in her heart, and walked quickly for a long time, only to feel dizzy, she was now pregnant, and her body was very tired. When Liu's mother saw it, she said "ouch", "Grandma, you can stop a little." ”
The rain fell like a needle, and Shen Qiang Rose stood on the edge of the verandah, seeing that the sky was dark and oppressive, and the dark clouds were thick and deep, like a monster's bloody mouth, which made people look at the unwarranted panic.
She was thinking about the sixth aunt in her heart, and after only resting for two minutes, she walked quickly towards the courtyard of the sixth aunt. When she arrived at the courtyard, she saw that the courtyard door was ajar, she hurriedly walked in, and saw Cheng Jinyu holding a tightly wrapped baby in her arms, the child did not cry or make trouble, and fell asleep quietly.
When Cheng Jinyu saw her, he laughed, "Rose, come and see, this child is so good-looking." ”
Shen Qiangrose saw that the child's pink carving was extremely beautiful, so she couldn't help but look at it twice. Cheng Jinyu joked to her, "In the future, your child will be born and will look better." ”
Shen Qiang Rose knew that she was saying kind words, but she had a different taste in her heart. She didn't dare to delay, and when she saw that there was a maid taking care of the sixth aunt in the bedroom, she said, "Second sister-in-law, I have already notified the people outside, and now I have to think about getting the child out first." ”
Cheng Jinyu nodded, she has lost a lot of weight recently because she took care of the sixth aunt, and last night she gave birth to the child by the sixth aunt, and her eyes were also blue.
Shen Qiangrose thought that she was not in good health, so she said, "Second sister-in-law, you go back and rest first, I think about it." ”
Cheng Jinyu was reluctant to hold the child, and said with a smile: "I'm not tired, I won't tell you, when I see this child, I really feel that it is worth suffering." ”
Shen Qiangrose glanced at her silently, but did not continue the topic, only said: "There is no time, I have to take the child away now." ”
Although the two had discussed some methods before, because there were too many changes, there was no very detailed plan of action, so that the sixth aunt gave birth to a child, which made them scramble.
Shen Qiangrose was afraid that it would be more and more troublesome, so she asked Liu's mother to inform the garrison to prepare the car, and at the same time put the child in the basket. When everything was ready, she took the basket and said, "I will go by myself, and you will not follow." ”
Cheng Jinyu knew that Shen Qiangrose had resisted everything, so he said, "I'll go with you." ”
Shen Qiangrose shook her head and walked out slowly. The car had already stopped outside the yard, Fan Zicheng glanced at the basket, and opened the door silently, until the car started, Shen Qiangrose's heart was still up and down.
The guards in the Overseer's Mansion were all yawning, and seeing Shen Qiangrose's car drive all the way out, they didn't usually ask about their master's whereabouts, so they just glanced at it and opened the door.
The car drove out quickly, and disappeared into the rain in a blink of an eye.
