After learning that Li Shi was no longer ill, Shen Yuechen wanted to visit in person after resting for two days.

Shen Yuechen was not as fragile as the Zhu family expected, which undoubtedly surprised the elders in the family.

But the accident is an accident, and I feel faintly at ease.

If Shen Yuechen had another accident at this time, it would undoubtedly be worse for the Zhu family.

The old lady sighed a little in her heart and thought that she was really going to be a mother, even if she didn't want to be strong, she had to be strong.

Shen Yuechen was originally more calm than they imagined, after all, she had been through so much before, and she was not vulnerable to that point. Moreover, at this time, if you let your family see that you are good, it can be regarded as a kind of comfort to them.

Shen Yuechen tried hard to convince herself every day not to be defeated by negative emotions, if she fell, not only the child in her womb, but even the long house might lose hope for the future.

Now Shen Yuechen is a little haggard, becoming more depressed than usual, and when he doesn't speak, he always frowns slightly, as if he is thinking about something.

However, in front of Li Shi, she still tried her best to clean up her thoughts.

The gray hair color of Li's temples looked even more shocking in Shen Yuechen's eyes.

Overnight, such a thing really exists. It only took a few days to do it, and Lai's hair was a lot grayer, and his cheeks were sunken.

According to Grandma Sun, Li Shi has not touched a drop of rice for two whole days, and she can't eat anything, and she doesn't want to eat anything.

In the past two days, Li Shi has frightened everyone.

She seemed to have lost her soul, lying on the bed in a daze all day long, her eyes were also straight, she didn't move, she felt like a dead person who had lost her breath, occasionally, she would suddenly call Zhu Jintang's name, and then sobbed like a child, which made people look sad and helpless.

Shen Yuechen sat quietly on the side of her bed, gently holding her hand, silently comforting.

Her hands were even colder than herself, obviously they were in the quilt, but they were still so cold.

Li Shi felt her touch, slowly turned his head, glanced at her, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, opened his mouth, and said in a weak voice: "You are here." After speaking, she suddenly grabbed her wrist back, and said with extremely sad eyes: "Jintang is gone." ”

Shen Yuechen's heart sank when she heard this, and she only comforted her: "Please rest assured, the uncle will definitely come back safely." ”

Her tone was soft and firm.

After hearing this, Li's eyes brightened slightly, although it was not obvious, but it could be faintly felt.

At this time, one more comforting word will give Li Shi more peace of mind.

The more determined Shen Yuechen was, the more hopeful Li Shi felt.

Because of her presence, Li Shi was finally willing to eat something, Shen Yuechen personally fed her a small half bowl of porridge, and waited for her to sleep soundly before slowly retreating.

Grandma Sun immediately followed, she hurriedly stepped forward, and said softly: "Thanks to the eldest grandmother, the eldest lady is finally willing to eat something." ”

If you continue to survive like this, even if you are an iron beater, you can't hold on.

Shen Yuechen said lightly: "Take good care of Madame, if there is anything, you must inform me as soon as possible." ”

Grandma Sun nodded in response, while looking at Shen Yuechen's bulging belly with her eyes, and sighed in her heart: The eldest lady is already sad like this, and the eldest grandmother must be the same sad in her heart, but she is just stiffening.

She took another step forward, came to Shen Yuechen's side, and whispered: "I see that grandma's face is not very good, she must be tired." On Madame's side, the maids and I watched for a moment, so grandma should go back to rest with peace of mind. ”

Shen Yuechen nodded silently, took Chunming's hand, and walked out of the main room.

From a distance, I saw the maids running after Brother Ming all the way.

Brother Ming'er has short calves, but he runs very fast.

He ran out of breath, his brows furrowed slightly, and he seemed to be a little nervous.

He came to Shen Yuechen, grabbed her sleeve, raised his head, and looked at him with a worried expression, his face slightly pale.

Shen Yuechen was slightly stunned, she looked at Brother Ming'er's appearance, and knew that he already knew.

Brother Ming asked in a low voice, "Mother, are you okay?" ”

Shen Yuechen bent down slightly, touched his head, and smiled to reassure him: "I'm fine, Brother Ming'er has been doing for the past two days?" Are the maids taking good care of them? ”

Brother Ming nodded, thinking, it doesn't matter if she is good or not, what matters is whether she is good or not?

Shen Yuechen immediately stood up straight, looked at the maids behind him and said, "Brother Ming, I'll move back to the west courtyard to live with me in the next two days, you go over and pack up his things, don't bring too much." ”

Li Shi is now in this way, he is already too busy to take care of himself, so naturally he can't continue to take care of Brother Ming.

When Brother Ming heard this, he hurriedly raised his arm, grabbed Shen Yuechen's hand, and walked back to the west courtyard with her.

Shen Yuechen accompanied Li Shi for a while, her body was already a little unable to sit still, she lay on her side on the bed, curled up slightly, and gently wrapped her hands around her stomach.

Seeing this, Brother Ming also took off his shoes, lay down next to her, gently pressed his forehead against her back, frowned and hesitated for a long time before asking, "Is there something wrong with Daddy?" ”

Shen Yuechen's body trembled, and after a while, he spoke: "No, he will definitely come back." ”

When she said this, her eyes were still wrapped in tears, and it took a lot of effort to hold back it from falling.

Brother Ming'er's heart hurt as if he was being tightened, he stretched out his little arm that was as white as a lotus, gently put it on Shen Yuechen's body, and patted it twice as comforting. "Take a good rest, you have the stamina to persevere."

Shen Yuechen quietly wiped his eyes, then slowly turned around, took Brother Ming into his arms, and closed his eyes peacefully.

Half a month has passed, and Zhu Jintang still has no news. However, the news that he was missing and his whereabouts were unknown had already spread all over Texas City, and the capital, which was thousands of miles away, had also received news and asked for help.

Zhu Yuanlan is now a first-class lady, and it is not difficult to enter the palace to meet the imperial concubine.

Ruan Linluo was pregnant with Liujia, and when she heard the news, she was also worried.

Zhu Yuanlan said helplessly: "Jintang is afraid that it will be more auspicious." However, in any case, please help the Zhu family and use the relationship in the palace to thoroughly investigate this matter. ”

Ruan Linluo nodded and said, "This is natural." This palace will definitely send someone to thoroughly investigate the whereabouts of my cousin. I would like to give you a satisfactory explanation. ”

Now, Shen Yuechen is still pregnant, and she is about to become a mother like her, where can she withstand such a blow.

Ruan Linluo, as a noble concubine, is the same as the deputy, and when she gave an order, there were many people who wanted to work for her. For Ruan Linluo, if you want to find someone, the Ouchi Praetorian Guard is undoubtedly the most suitable person.

I heard that they can do anything, and there is almost nothing they can't do.

Ruan Linluo attaches great importance to Zhu Jintang's disappearance, not only because he is the brother she respects and likes, but also because she wants to know about this matter, who is the black hand behind the scenes?

Who had the audacity to dare to move the Zhu family, and what was their real purpose? Is it simply a roadblock and a robbery, or is there something else?

To put it bluntly, is the purpose of those people, is it the Zhu family? Or yourself?

At this time, Zhu Jinlun was already in Cangzhou, looking around for news.

However, it is very surprising that no news can be traced at all. The more than a dozen truckloads of food, the skilled masked bandits, and Zhu Jintang all seemed to have suddenly evaporated from the world, without a trace.

It's not surprising that no one was found, but strangely enough, the food wasn't put on the market.

Zhu Jinlun asked people to inquire around, only to know that this area of Cangzhou has not been very peaceful recently, and the bandits are running around, either robbing houses and houses, or robbing people and food, and they are extremely barbaric, which is even worse than those foreign barbarians.

Zhu Jinlun had to pay attention to his own safety, but the more he searched, the more hopeless he felt.

Zhu Jinlun sent a letter to his home, only saying that there was no news yet, but he did not add his thoughts to it. Because, he didn't want his family to lose hope so early.

The Mid-Autumn Festival, which was supposed to be a family reunion, became quite bleak because of Zhu Jintang's disappearance.

There is almost nothing in the house, everything is simple in all the courtyards, and all visitors are not allowed to the outside world, no matter who they are.

After Li's body collapsed, his spirit was always good and bad, and the decoction was one after another, but it was not good.

Heart disease also requires cardiac medicine. If Zhu Jintang is not found for a day, Li Shi will not get better for a day.

The old lady was already able to walk on the ground, and occasionally went to see Li, but she always made her want to shed tears.

Although Zhu Feng was still busy, the distressed look on his face could not be hidden, and after returning home, he was also stuffed in the study all night long, and he couldn't bear to go back and see his haggard wife.

In the afternoon of this day, Mr. Zhu received a reply from Zhu Jinlun, and when he opened it, he sighed.

Still no news. If this continues, the long house will have to collapse.

Old Man Zhu quietly closed the letter paper, put the letter back into his arms, and patted it lightly.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the family should be happy.

It's better to leave this letter with him for the time being.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shen Yuechen didn't want to disappoint the children, so she still asked the maids to light lanterns of various colors in the courtyard to make them look happy.

After all, children are children, and the Mid-Autumn Festival, which can only be held once a year, should be given to them to have a good time.

Brother Ming didn't bother to look at the lights, he just sat next to Shen Yuechen, while Zhu Ying was the opposite of him, playing very happily. Although she vaguely noticed that something was going on at home, because Shen Yuechen had explained before, the maids' mouths were closed very tightly, and no one followed their ears and talked more.

Zhu Ying didn't know that something had happened to her father, and she was looking forward to the Mid-Autumn Festival for a long time, so she naturally didn't want to miss it in vain.

She tied a lantern by herself, but unfortunately she didn't do it well, but after being slightly retouched by Shen Yuechen, she became good again.

Zhu Ying ran around the yard with a lantern, followed by the little Zhu Xiao and kept chasing, the two children giggled, if it was left in normal times, such laughter would make people feel extremely happy, but now, hearing such laughter, it only makes people feel sad.

Brother Ming has always kept Shen Yuechen's face, and although she is smiling, the sadness that emerges between her eyebrows can be seen at a glance.

Brother Ming shook her hand unconsciously, Shen Yuechen withdrew her gaze from Zhu Ying, and then looked at him and said, "Let's go over and play with them." Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and everyone should be happy. ”

Brother Ming nodded again, then jumped to the ground, pretended to be a child, and played crazy with them.

In the silence, the child's crisp laughter was particularly harsh.

Cao Qiaoyun has been bored in the room for several days. She just found out that Zhu Jintang had an accident, so she couldn't accept it for a while, and she washed her face with tears all day long, worried about the future.

At this time, when she heard her daughter Zhu Ying's laughter, she couldn't help but feel nervous, she hurriedly got up, pushed open the door, and walked out.

The garden is lit with colorful lanterns. However, Cao Shi didn't have the intention to watch, she just hurried to the courtyard, as if she was in a hurry about something.

Zhu Ying ran happily, saw her coming from a distance, hurriedly ran over to her, raised the lantern in her hand with a smile, and said, "Auntie, look, this is a lantern made by Ying'er herself, is it beautiful?" ”

Cao Shi was dazzled by the lanterns, and suddenly stretched out his hand with a little annoyance, knocked the lantern to the ground, and asked in a dumb voice, "When is this?" You can still laugh! Laugh and laugh! I make you laugh! ”

She stepped on the lantern on the ground as if venting, and stepped on it with all her strength, crushing it......

Zhu Ying was dumbfounded by her sudden outburst on the spot, and stood in place in a daze, not moving.

Later, it was Brother Ming who reacted quickly, stepped forward and grabbed her, frowned and led her back.

Seeing this, Shen Yuechen hurriedly held Chun Ming's hand, stood up, and stopped her: "Good and decent, what are you crazy about?" What should I do if I freak out my child? After speaking, she instructed the maid next to her and said, "Give me a slap in the face and let her sober up." ”

When the maid heard this, she hurriedly responded, walked over and slapped Cao vigorously in the face.

Cao Shi was stunned on the spot, and then his feet were weak, and he sat down on the ground, and his temper was gone, just sitting there with red eyes, as if he was about to cry.

If something happens to Zhu Jintang, won't the long house also be abolished...... How should we live in the days to come?

Shen Yuechen glanced at her coldly, then looked at Zhu Ying with a different expression, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, Ying'er, my mother has prepared a lot of moon cakes in the room, you and your brother will go over and have a look first, okay?" My mother will ask someone to make you a new lantern later. ”

Zhu Ying pursed her mouth aggrievedly, but she didn't dare to cry after all, she just wiped her tears and nodded silently.

Seeing this, Mother Wu hurriedly picked her up, coaxed her a few times, and Brother Ming and Zhu Xiao also went over together.

In the courtyard, only Shen Yuechen was left with the maids and the Cao family facing each other.

The Cao clan choked up, and was about to cry loudly, but heard Shen Yuechen say coldly: "If you dare to make a mistake again, I will let people slap your face." ”

Hearing this, Cao's expression was suffocated, he raised his head suddenly, looked at the cold gaze in Shen Yuechen's eyes, and suddenly didn't dare to cry anymore, and forcibly held back his tears.

Shen Yuechen saw that she didn't dare to speak out, so she continued: "What kind of madness did you just make? ”

Cao's body trembled, bowed down slightly, lay on the ground, and said mournfully: "The slave maid was in a hurry, thinking that the life and death of the uncle are uncertain...... As his eldest daughter, how could Sister Ying laugh at will like this? This is really a great unfilial piety! ”

Shen Yuechen sneered: "Unfilial? I think it's because you don't know what to do. ”

"Uncle doesn't know his whereabouts now, so it's just a matter of worrying about us adults, and there is no reason to ask the children to suffer together. It's a shame that you're still a mother, and you can't even figure out this point. What is your intention in spilling in front of the children? ”

When Cao Shi heard this, he immediately cried aggrievedly, and he couldn't care much about it for a while, so he only said: "Something happened to the uncle, and the slave maid was very uneasy. The slave is really scared...... I'm afraid that the uncle will never come back......"

Shen Yuechen's face turned faintly blue, followed by a sneer: "Things that don't work, you can't help with serious things, you know how to cry all day long." Right now, there is no news about what happened to the uncle, but you are in a hurry to cry and mourn first. Okay, since you want to cry, I'll make you cry enough. ”

"Come on, take Aunt Cao to the firewood room in the backyard for me, and let her cry in it. No one is allowed to let her out without my command! ”

Aunt Cao shook her head again and again when she heard this, and she just stuck on the ground and didn't leave, but she was slapped twice and taken down half-pulled and half-dragged.

Something that is confused, something that is not angry.

Shen Yuechen was so angry with Cao that she had a headache, and her body shook slightly unconsciously, as if she couldn't stand.

Chun Ming hurriedly hugged her and said, "Miss, don't be angry with these unworthy people. She doesn't deserve it. ”

After Shen Yuechen stood firm, he raised his hand and rubbed the temples on both sides, and after thinking about it, Fang said: "You guys pay more attention to this, if anyone dares to talk nonsense and say some brainless bastard things in the future, they will all be dealt with according to family law for me." This kind of person is not enough to succeed and more than to lose, and it is useless to keep it, and if you send it out early, you can also make others clean. ”

Chun Ming nodded heavily. "Don't worry, the slave has a plan in her heart."

Shen Yuechen let out a long sigh and said, "I'll go see Sister Ying'er, she must have been frightened just now." So how much can a little child understand, so why bother her like this? ”
