Xu Wanqing scooped a bowl of chai chicken and wolfberry soup and handed it to Ping Yan with a smile.

She made sign language, and Xiyue explained with cold eyes and angry eyebrows on the side.

"Our young grandmother said, you are pregnant now, you must take good care of it, and in the future, the child will be born in good health and fat, so this table of meals is gentle and good for pregnant women."

Ping Yan glanced at the food on the table, four dishes and two soups, three meat and three vegetables, smelling delicious, and the cooking was also delicate and lovely, it was indeed a commonly used pregnancy ingredient for grandmothers in the compound, so it can be seen that it took a lot of thought.

She took a sip of soup and said with a smile: "It's delicious, thank you young grandma for thinking so much about me." ”

Xiyue took a sip lightly, rolled the whites of her eyes, and whispered hatefully, "There are different things on the outside, the young grandmother is gentle, and she looks at you pitifully, so everything is considered for you, but some people are wolf-hearted dogs, specializing in doing unsightly things in the middle of the night, but pheasants are pheasants, and they can't become phoenixes when they climb into bed." ”

Xu Wanqing's eyes swept and threw a generous warning. Xiyue immediately tightened her mouth, and her hands were still reluctantly entwined with the corners of her clothes, her eyes were angry, and she secretly tied Ping Yan up and down.

Ping Yan took a small porcelain spoon and slowly stirred the chicken soup in the bowl, as if she hadn't heard it, and her expression was calm. Behind her is a thick curtain of purple velvet and gold silk, which has not been opened, and the second half of the day is clear, and the sun is bright and beautiful like silver embroidered satin, through which the curtain gurgles in, outlining the scattered dust and mustard that are flying and floating in the room, her body is wrapped in light, almost transparent, black hair and clean face, and her posture falls, like a finely carved mutton fat jade.

Xu Wanqing has seen many celebrities and nobles, and there is no shortage of small jasper, compared to Ping Yan, although her appearance is not the most brilliant, but the charm on her body is something she has never seen in her life.

This world is difficult and dirty, everyone is standing in the mud of the oil pot, but such a young woman in front of her is like a lake that is not alarmed, the mountain top water does not move in spring and autumn, the kaolin clouds, clear and clear, and there is no smell of fireworks.

Ping Yan glanced at Xiyue, and when her slightly cool gaze turned to Xu Wanqing's face, there was a hint of restrained gentleness. She said: "Young grandmother, please rest assured, I am innocent with the eldest young master, as for last night, it was just that I used more for dinner, and my stomach was swollen so much that it alarmed the eldest young master, so he warmed a pot of tea for me and sent it over." And before leaving, the second young master also asked him to take good care of me. ”

She is so frank, and her eyes are really transparent. Xu Wanqing felt a little embarrassed.

Xiyue muttered, "I have joy before I get married, and I am innocent to talk about." ”

Xu Wanqing ignored her, took a piece of steamed sea bass and put it into the small dish in front of Ping Yan, and motioned to Xiyue, Xiyue was stunned, turned around and went to the inner room to get something.

Compared with the powerful ladies and ladies next to her, Xu Wanqing is a good match, with her, although there are not a few words before and after, Ping Yan feels very comfortable and peaceful. She is different from Dongxia's noisy nagging, she is quiet and elegant.

Speaking of Dongxia, she couldn't help asking, "Young grandma, why don't you see Dongxia accompanying you?" After all, she took care of me all those days, and I miss her a lot. ”

Xiyue lifted the curtain and put on a non-requisite appearance, "Dongxia, her twin sister is sick, she went back to take care of her, and now our young grandmother is taken care of by me alone." ”

I haven't heard Dongxia say that she also has a twin sister.

Xiyue took the ticket, slapped it on the table, and said, "This is the boat ticket set by the young grandmother, which can go directly to Qingyuan Town, and it is on the morning of the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month." ”

Ping Yan picked up the ticket, and her heart was so excited that her usually light face was dyed with a layer of Yanran.

She asked, "Thank you young grandma for fulfilling me, but I have to hide this matter from the eldest young master." ”

Xiyue snorted coldly: "Don't worry, we were going to take the train back to Changzhou that day, and the young grandmother would find a way to hold up my uncle and let you go neatly." ”

On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, the lead clouds were in patches, and the north wind was bleak, and it seemed that it was going to snow again.

I got on the boat tomorrow and arrived in Qingyuan Town in the middle of the afternoon, and I could see Shen Yuji.

Ping Yan's face was reflected in the mirror, the cheeks of the person in the mirror were red, her eyes were veined, and she could barely recognize the person as herself.

His heart was beating hard, and the blood in his body seemed to be warm on the simmer, surging hotly. Just because of the thought of that man, everything is alive and warm.

She couldn't help but pick up the porcelain cup, which was tightly pressed rouge, like the powder of acacia red beans, with rippling spring.

She wiped some with her fingertips, put it on her cheek, and slowly rubbed it away, looking forward to seeing Shen Yujian.

Shen Dashao had already walked behind her, she was still immersed in the natural feelings of a woman, and she didn't notice it at all. Until he stretched out a pair of rough but straight hands and leaned in to pick up her used rouge.

Ping Yan was startled when he came, turned around, and his shadow was tightly covered by her.

Against the light, his facial features are not very clear, but they are more rigid and concave.

He lowered his eyes and stared at the piece of red rouge for a while, and then turned his gaze to Ping Yan, indifferent, pitch black, teaching people not to distinguish the meaning, but worried.

"Except for the side on the stage of the lockdown, I haven't seen you apply grease and powder, it seems that you are following Wanqing, and you are in a good mood these days."

Ping Yan felt a sigh in her heart, always feeling that he meant something.

"The young grandmother is very good, gentle and kind, and the wives of those powerful families are different, the eldest young master has married a very good wife."

Shen Da Shao looked at her expressionlessly for a while, smiled slowly, the corners of his lips raised slightly, but his eyes sank a little, "You can speak." ”

Ping Yan smiled perfunctorily, "Is there anything else going on with the eldest young master?" ”

"I'm going back to Changzhou the day after tomorrow, since the second brother entrusted me to take care of you, you should go back with us." He picked up a chair and sat down slowly.

"Although I am pregnant with the second young master's child, after all, I have no name and no share, so I will go to your father-in-law's territory together, and everyone will talk slowly, I am afraid that the reputation of the eldest young master is not very good."

Shen Dashao sneered, with some sharp sarcasm, "You really think about me." He propped himself up, stared at Ping Yan, squinted for a moment, and said slowly: "Or do you have other plans?" ”

"What chance can a prisoner like me have planned?" She sighed dejectedly, "Since the eldest young master is not afraid of other people's gossip, I will go." It's just that I have always had a question, what is the purpose of the eldest young master trapping me like this? You got drunk that night and said some ridiculous things, but I also know that the eldest young master is ambitious, and he will never imprison me for this, so I don't know what it is for. ”

He was indifferent, and there was a hint of incomprehension in his eyes, "The more you know, the more danger there is, as long as you are obedient, you are the safest with me." ”

With his meticulous nature, Ping Yan knew that he would not just say things so easily, so he laughed it off at the moment.

He drank a cup of tea, and when he got up to leave, he said: "A few days ago, Dong Guosheng went to Qingyuan Town to supervise the war, because Dong Changlin was ill and couldn't withstand the trek, so he was left in Qingzhou to raise. After a pause, he said, "You decide for yourself, it doesn't matter if you go or not." ”

Ping Yan bowed her head and covered the ignorance in her heart, "Thank you for informing." ”

In the past few days since the Qingyun Gang was wiped out, she came to the door several times, but she couldn't see Dong Changlin's face, so she was invited out by the guards standing outside the house under various excuses.

The reason for this should be that now the rumors about her and Shen Yuchen are flying all over the sky, and the Dong family avoids suspicion, and it is indeed a wise way to not allow her to enter.

Seeing this today, I may want to make many things clear.

Shen Dashao sent someone to drive her, and as soon as she got out of the car, the person opened a bamboo bone oil umbrella with great eyes, covering the snow in the sky.

"Miss, Da Shao specially instructed, for the sake of safety, it is better for me to accompany you in."

Ping Yan took the umbrella and said with a smile: "I have a good relationship with the young master of the Dong family, and I will only go to reminisce about the past, it will be fine, I will go by myself." ”

The man thought for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, then Miss be careful, after an hour, if Miss doesn't come out, I can only break in." ”

Ping Yan smiled bitterly at Shen Dashao's worries, and agreed: "Okay." ”

It was the inkstone that greeted people, he hadn't seen it for a few months, he had lost a lot of weight, his eyes were blank, and there was a long-standing redness, swelling and injury outside his eye sockets, when he saw Ping Yan, he almost wanted to cry, called the young grandmother, his eyes froze, and he changed his words: "Miss, come in with me, the young master has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Ping Yan saw that he was almost haggard and out of appearance, thinking that he couldn't accept Xiao Fan's death for a while, and walked in with him, while sighing and relieved, "Yantai, a few days ago, there was a big mutiny in Qingzhou, and those who killed Xiao Phantom Kou vainly tried to take advantage of the chaos, and they were all killed, which can be regarded as revenge for Xiao Fan, Xiao Phantom knows your heart for her, and must hope that you can live happily, you can relax your heart, don't let her go uneasy." ”

Her heart-warming words immediately forced out the tears of the inkstone, he knelt down tremblingly, Ping Yan wanted to help him up, he knelt like a mountain, and he was willing to stand up after kowtowing to her three times.

"Thank you Miss for your kindness, and you are willing to collect the corpse for Xiao Phantom and put it into the ground, and you didn't let her burst into the wilderness, so that the wild wolf could gnaw it."

Ping Yan also felt that her nose was sore, but the pain of cutting the skin of life and death could only be treated for a few days, and it was by no means reduced by a few words of persuasion from others.

The inkstone stopped, looked at the door, and hesitated: "Don't hide it, Miss, the young master's health has been getting worse and worse recently, and it has only been two or three years since I thought about it, but the young master didn't want the overseers to remember it, so he kept it a secret." ”

He sighed, tears drooped slightly, and said the words in his heart, "The young master's sincerity in treating Miss can be learned from heaven and earth, I can only blame God for ordering the mandarin duck spectrum wrongly, which led to such a painful thing for the three of them, I know that it was the second young master Shen who knew the young lady first, and I can also see that the young master has a deep affection for the second young master Shen, my young master should not have snatched love with a knife, but it was not all my young master's fault." I implore the young lady to say a few intimate and warm words to my young master in the past, and persuade him well, at least so that the young master can live a little happier in the days to come. ”
