The days slipped silently like spring rain.

Since Fu Yuanyuan got married, there has been a lot of laughter and laughter in Haitian Courtyard, if it weren't for the bun in his stomach, the Shen family would definitely be very unaccustomed to it.

Touching the naughty buns that were punched and kicked in his stomach, Shen took the lotus seed soup and tasted it slowly.

"Madam," Shu Sanniang opened the curtain and came in, "someone at the side door wants to ask to see you." ”

Someone asking to see her?

Shen blinked puzzledly: "What person?" ”

There are a lot of people who come to the Pingguo Mansion to fight the autumn breeze, and in order not to disturb the master, generally speaking, the porter will be sent away directly.

The person Shu Sanniang said had actually been wandering in front of the Pingguo Mansion for a little and a half months.

Every time he was drunk back by the porter.

Joke, if it is said that the master is an acquaintance, it is really an acquaintance? He also wants to say that it is a relative of the master!

If it is really an acquaintance, how can they be depressed to spread the word here in the concierge and ask to see him?

The concierge's eyes are fine, how can cats and dogs enter the mansion casually.

It happened to be when Shu Sanniang went out to buy that she heard the woman begging to see Shen, and asked her a few words in curiosity, so she came back to report to Shen.

"It's a woman who looks like she's in her early thirties, and she claims to be a slave from your family, Madame, and her name is Poria Cocos."

Shen was stunned.

Her foreign home?

Is it the Shen Mansion in Yangzhou City, or the home of the father and mother who no longer exists?

Whispering the word 'Poria cocos', Shen always felt familiar.

"Bring her in to me."

Seeing the master's solemn expression, Shu Sanniang hurriedly responded.

After a while, a middle-aged woman with a slightly restrained expression followed Shu Sanniang into the house.

She lowered her head and knelt down respectfully to salute the Shen family.

"Hold your head up."

Shen held his stomach, especially a little suspicious of the strange woman in front of him.

The woman grabbed the hem of her dress nervously and slowly lifted her face.

Although the woman in front of her looked humble and shrunken, her eyes were simple and bright.

Shen looked at it carefully.

If it is an unfamiliar face, it feels familiar.

The woman seemed to understand Shen's thoughts, and hurriedly pulled her cuffs and said, "Miss, do you remember this scar?" ”

Shen Shi set his eyes on a scar on the wrist of his wife's right hand, the scar was ugly and terrifying, but it drew a trace of memory buried deep in his heart.

"Yes...... You? Ugly sister? ”

The woman's eyes suddenly turned red: "The slave maid should not be called Miss so, the young lady is called the slave and the maid Poria cocos, Poria is the name given by the lady, and the slave and maid dare not forget it for a day." ”

Shen Shi looked at Poria blankly, falling into boundless memories.

Although Shen's father, Shen Youran, was born in a wealthy family of the Shen Mansion, he was an idle cloud and wild crane, and he was not interested in business at all.

was chased by Mr. Shen to study business for many years, and finally couldn't help but run away with his daughter-in-law after getting married.

Traveled around in Daqing, and finally lived a happy life at the foot of a beautiful mountain village on the outskirts of the capital.

Shen was born and raised in such an environment, although she and her brother Shen Cong were often taken by Old Man Shen to live in Yangzhou City for various reasons, but the village on the outskirts of the capital was the place where her father and mother lived most in the bottom of her heart.

And Poria Cocos should have been a rough maid in the Shen family's kitchen at that time, and she was deeply impressed by the scar on Poria Cocos's hand, because this scar was born because of her.

I remember that when she was ten years old, on the day of her mother's birthday, she insisted on cooking a dish for her mother to celebrate her mother's birthday.

Shen, who didn't know anything about the kitchen, with the help of several grandmothers and maids, didn't hold the handle of the knife for a while when he was pouring in the kitchen, and almost chopped himself.

Fortunately, at that time, Poria reached out to block the knife, and Shen was spared the knife wound, but unfortunately Poria was cut with such a scar.

Afterwards, Shen was grateful and guilty to Poria and vowed never to cook again.

After so many years, she almost forgot what Poria looked like.

"Sanniang, help Poria up, take a seat."

Looking at Poria Cocos, Shen's expression was complicated.

She and Fu Pingyuan met by chance when she took her maid to the capital to go shopping, and the two sides fell in love at first sight, and they decided on a family affair after several twists and turns.

However, not long after getting married, one morning, there was a sudden news that the village where the Shen family lived had caught fire, causing half of the village to turn into ashes.

Even after two lifetimes, the Shen family still mourned uncontrollably when they thought of that incident.

"How did you escape the fire that year?" This question was very difficult, and Shen clenched his fists, trying to calm the pain in his heart.

"Madam," Shu Sanniang came to Shen's side later, and she didn't know about these pasts. But Shen was emotional, and she couldn't help but take a step forward worriedly, "You ......"

Shen took a deep breath and waved his hand: "I'm fine, I'll talk to Poria Cocos." ”

Poria looked at Shen's big belly and hesitated for a while.

She only occasionally learned that the Shen family had returned to the Pingguo Mansion in the capital, and she couldn't sleep at night thinking about what happened back then, so she ruthlessly went to the capital to find the Shen family.

How do you know that Shen is about to give birth in less than two months, in case he hears the past, how can he be born?

Shen Shi saw Poria's expression in his eyes, and couldn't help but have a trace of doubt about the fire that year.

"Poria, tell me." Shen's face froze.

Shocked by Shen's momentum, Poria swallowed her saliva: "Miss, I'm afraid the fire back then had another inside story." ”

"Something else?" Shen's smooth and neat nails were embedded in the palms, which actually hurt her heart.

When she heard about the fire, she immediately set off with Fuping Yuan to rush back to the village, and what she saw was the broken eaves and rubble, and a piece of ashes.

After the government investigated, it was found that it was because a family of winemakers caught fire at night because of the wine in the cellar, and the weather was dry and dry, and there was a lot of dried firewood in the yard of every house, and it quickly burned into a piece.

Such a large fire that destroyed half of the village, the Shen family did not doubt the conclusion of the government.

"On that day, the slave maid was ordered to go to the capital to buy things, but because of the delay, it was already midnight when I returned to the village." Poria's hands were clenched tightly, and her eyes flashed with horror because of the memory, "When I arrived at the gate of the mansion, the slave heard all kinds of shouts for help inside. ”

"The slave maid's legs were so weak that she didn't dare to go in when she was lying outside."

"What's going on inside?" Shen Shi clenched his heart.

Poria said: "The slave maid saw a group of black-clothed people, armed with big knives, and all of them killed all the people in our entire mansion viciously......

She buried her face in her hands and cried breathlessly, "The slave is useless, the slave is damned, the slave didn't go in to save people, Miss, the slave and the maid regretted it all these years and couldn't sleep every night." ”

"As long as you close your eyes, there are desperate faces in the house," Poria said in a trembling voice, "The slave and maid told the young lady about it, and the slave and maid followed the lady." ”
