Song Ran was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and before she could speak, a wave of discomfort hit her throat, and she coughed for a long time before she raised her head weakly and insisted: "My lord, I want to go home." ”

Shen Hanxi stared at her for a long time, and finally turned to Xia Xiaoqiu, who was there, and said, "Prepare the car." ”

Xia Xiaoqiu turned to leave, and soon, a car stopped in front of them.

Song Ran sat down in the car, but saw Shen Hanxi also sit in. His face did not change, and he said, "This official will send you." ”

She was silent for a long time before nodding her head slightly. The mute looked inside the car for a moment, then finally closed the door and sat on the wheels outside.

Song Ran closed his eyes tiredly, his head rested lightly on the car board, and when Shen Hanxi added soothing incense pills to the incense burner, his eyes fell on his slightly trembling hand. He closed the lid of the purple gold incense burner and looked at the woman beside him. She leaned there gently, breathing lightly, barely audible.

He felt like he should say something, but for a moment he struggled to find the right language. He was by no means a clumsy man, but he was silent all the way.

He didn't know what to say.

The carriage stopped in front of the Song Mansion in Chunshen Lane, and after Shen Hanxi got out of the car, he handed an arm to the car, and the dumb man also stretched out his hand at the same time, and the eyes of the two met in mid-air, and no one let anyone.

Song Ran paused for a moment and gently put it on the mute's forearm.

Shen Hanxi's eyes were gloomy, and he withdrew his hand.

Xia Xiaoqiu stepped forward to knock on the door, and after a while, a little girl with a double bun poked her head out, and saw who the group of people were through the lantern hanging under the eaves, her face was happy, and she turned around and shouted: "Uncle Zhong, Miss Song is back!" So saying, he hurriedly opened the door and welcomed them in.

Uncle Zhong was busy in the kitchen, and when he heard the words, he nagged: "The young master can be regarded as back, and he can't be happy in Lord Shen's mansion." It's good to think that the dumb man will pick it up, and there is one more one who will never come back, you young people. When he came out of the kitchen and saw Shen Hanxi and Xia Xiaoqiu, he was a little frightened, "Ouch, why are you bothering Lord Shen and Lord Xia to send them back in person?" ”

Seeing that the dumb man had been holding Song Ran, his face sank: "What's wrong with the young master?" ”

The dumb gaze stopped on Shen Hanxi's face: "There was a little 'accident'." He added, "It's not early, so there won't be two adults left." ”

Zhong Bo immediately reprimanded lightly: "Dumb, don't be rude." The two adults sat in the living room first, Liuniang, and went to serve tea quickly. ”

Liuniang staggered to make tea.

Shen Hanxi stood there, and he didn't mean to leave.

Song Ran saw Uncle Zhong's expression of concern, and reluctantly squeezed out a smile to comfort him: "Uncle Zhong, I don't have to do anything." ”

Uncle Zhong looked at her from head to toe, and saw that she had no other injuries except for her bad complexion, so he faintly relieved her heart and asked her: "Is the young master hungry?" There's still chicken stewed on the stove. ”

"I've been smelling the stewed chicken with mushrooms for a long time, Uncle Zhong, when will I be able to eat it?"

When Uncle Zhong saw that she was still thinking about eating, his brows relaxed, and his face was full of doting: "It has to be stewed for a while, and it will taste good when it is stewed." ”

"Then I'll go sleep for a while."

"Okay, I'll go make the bed for the young master."

Shen Hanxi stood on the side, watching them talk affectionately. It wasn't until she entered this small courtyard and saw Uncle Zhong that she regained her life.

By his side, she didn't seem to be like herself. So far, all he seems to have brought her is restraint and pain.

His expression became colder and colder at this thought.

She turned her head and said to him, "My lords are here, so go in and sit down, forgive me for my poor health...... I can't entertain adults well. She said politely, and without waiting for him to respond, she went to her room. Uncle Zhong left dumb to entertain the guests and keep up with her.

As soon as he closed the door, he said, "Don't hide it, young master, take out your hand and show it to the old slave." ”

She paused slightly, then revealed the hand hidden in her sleeve, and said, "I can't hide anything from you." ”

When Uncle Zhong saw the bloody fingers, he frowned distressedly, walked to a cabinet, found a black lacquered round box, and brought it to her. Then, she picked up a porcelain bottle from the box, pulled the stopper, and poured the powder on the tender flesh of her fingertips.

Song Ran grinned in pain, but she didn't retract her hand, and let Uncle Zhong take a white muslin cloth to help her wrap her fingertips.

Zhong Bo was extremely distressed: "The nails are uprooted, but it takes a month to grow well, how did you get it?" ”

She didn't hide it from him, and after finishing speaking, she heard Zhong Bo say in a deep voice: "This kid surnamed Shen is really evil." After that, he sighed heavily, "I heard that he saved the young master from the fire, and I have changed my opinion of him a lot. No matter what the reputation of those worlds is, as long as he treats the young master sincerely, I can rest assured that he can entrust him. Who knows......" snorted and said, "If he wants to marry the young master in the future, he will not think about passing me."

Song Ran lowered his eyebrows, looked at him and wrapped his hands one by one, and said, "You still love me the most." ”

"Of course the old slave loves the young master. The young master is like my own granddaughter, a piece of meat on the tip of my heart, how can I give people such a bad treatment? He muttered a few words to Shen Hanxi with hatred, and said with a straight face, "The young master can't be confused, we can't afford to provoke this Buddha, can't we still hide?" ”

Liuniang stopped by the door, frightened by the words she heard through the door panel.

She cautiously looked at the man beside her, her heart skipped a beat by his look, and she couldn't help stammering, "Lord Shen, you...... You are angry......"

Zhong Bo was angry, and he spoke behind closed doors, so he naturally spoke ugly. It's okay if it's not heard by the Lord, but if it's heard by the Lord, everything will be dead.

Liu Niang was really afraid that Shen Hanxi would rush in, but she saw him stand calm for a moment and turned to leave.

The people in the house also heard the movement and walked to the door: "Liuniang, what's wrong?" ”

Liu Niang was holding the tea in her hand, and her pale little face had not yet recovered from the fright of Shicai: "Shi, Shicai, Lord Shen...... Let me deliver medicine to the girl. ”

I saw that in the tray in her hand, there were two porcelain vases, one white and one green. One for internal use, one for external use. Song Ran's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly looked forward, but only saw the back of the man walking away.

Zhong Bo's expression was still ugly: "We can't afford such a valuable medicine." Liuniang, don't return it yet. ”

Liu Niang naturally shook her head again and again, she didn't dare.

Song Ran said to Zhong Bo: "Don't embarrass Liuniang...... Let's take it first. ”

Shen Hanxi stood in the courtyard blowing the night breeze, his already short nails had sunk into the flesh, and blood stains were constantly oozing from his palms. Wangcai jumped out of the duck hutch and quacked at him, he looked coldly at the duck at his feet, and asked, "Do you even hate this official?" ”

Wangcai: "Quack! ”

He narrowed his eyes and didn't look back, but suddenly asked, "This time, did the official do something wrong?" ”

The summer night wind swept through the hem of his clothes, stirring the shadows of the trees in the distance.

Xia Xiaoqiu, who was silently following behind him, realized that this sentence was asking himself, and couldn't help but pause. After following him for so many years, it was the first time I heard him doubt his own right and wrong.

"My lord, this thing is done a little inappropriately."

Shen Hanxi didn't speak, at this time, his whole person was hidden in the dark.

His life has been difficult and bumpy, and he thought that nothing would happen again, and it would be more unprepared and at a loss than seeing his mother being insulted.

From that day on, he was in a nightmare. In the dream, he was four years old, dragging his mother out of the mass grave, and then burying her mother with a pinch of earth. For countless nights, he was digging hard until his fingertips were covered with blood, and even if he woke up halfway, it was still the same dark night in front of him. There is no exit, no way out.

At that time, there was only one thing on his mind.

He's going to live.

In order to survive, he can do anything. So for so many years, he has lived more sober than anyone else, but he has also lived more difficult than anyone else.

"With all due respect." Xia Xiaoqiu said, "If you feel sorry for Miss Song, how good would it be to apologize to her directly?" He hesitated and said, "You...... Can't you say it? ”

Shen Hanxi glanced at him, and he was immediately silenced. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the shadow walking towards here, and his eyebrows moved slightly: "Uncle Zhong." ”

The old man walked behind Shen Hanxi, his demeanor was respectful, but his expression was very cold: "The young master has already fallen asleep." There are some things that the old slave wants to talk to Master Shen. ”

Song house, side hall.

Uncle Zhong poured a cup of tea for Shen Hanxi, did not sit down, and said, "Since Lord Shen already knows the identity of the young master of my family, the old slave will no longer sell Guanzi." There are some things that the young master himself does not want to mention, but the adults must be very curious. ”

The old man in front of him was not good-looking, thin and thin, with a pair of dark brown eyes in his slightly sunken eye sockets. At this time, he no longer had the demeanor of a little common man as before, and his slightly rickety back also stood up, and his expression was calm.

Shen Hanxi thought, after all, this person is from the Mo family, and naturally he will not be an ordinary old servant.

"Shen has a lot of things to do, and I want to ask Uncle Zhong to solve my doubts. Shaowei stayed well in the Mo family, why did she leave the Mo family? ”

The old man smiled at his question and said, "If you really treat it well, why should the young master leave?" He didn't hide it, and said lightly, "It's a family ugly." Since the birth of the young master, Hou Ye has been suspicious of the child's bloodline, just because his wife married into the Mo family for only eight months, he gave birth to a pregnancy and gave birth to the young master. ”

Shen Hanxi's eyebrows moved, and he snorted coldly: "Not all fetuses can be delivered to term, and Dingyuanhou's suspicion is too serious." ”

Zhong Bo shook his head and said, "Those speculations and suspicions between husband and wife, where can outsiders tell. Mrs. has a strong temperament, she can't stand the malicious speculation of the Hou Ye, and as soon as the young master is full moon, she takes the young master back to her mother's house in Yaozhou. The Mo family's family is indeed high, and the Qin family's family is not low, the old lady Qin's fiery temper, where can he bear the daughter who married out to be so wronged, and almost caused the matter to the queen mother. ”

Shen Hanxi listened quietly and did not express any opinions.

In the end, after all, it was the Hou Ye who pulled down his face, went to the Qin family to apologize, and personally asked his wife to go back. Madame fought for a breath and was unwilling to return to Yunzhou with the marquis. In the end, both of them took a step back, and the Mo family built another mansion in Yaozhou for his wife to live in, so that the face of the Mo family could be reasonable. ”

"Mrs. lived alone in Yaozhou for a year, and in the end, it was the Hou Ye who took the soft first and moved to Yaozhou, and in the third year of Yaozhou, Mrs. gave birth to the second son, Shaoyuan. Hou Ye is very precious to the second son, and the relationship with his wife is also heating up. ”

However, the harmonious atmosphere between husband and wife only lasted for three years, and when the young master was six years old, Hou Ye found an old letter from his wife, and once again suspected the young master's bloodline, and the two of them had a big fight, making the entire Yaozhou compound unpeaceful. Since then, Hou Ye has continued to marry Mrs. Ru, and these identities of Mrs. Ru are more difficult to get on the stage than one another, probably to humiliate Mrs. Madame's heart was like ashes, and she almost never saw Master Hou again. ”

"Then, on the day when the Hou Ye married the seventh Mrs. Ru, the second son had an accident."
