In the early morning when she woke up with the song of birds, He Yalin opened her eyes slightly, slowly turned around, and half-asleep, a pair of jade lotus-like arms subconsciously stretched out to the side, but it turned out to be empty, and she didn't touch anything, which couldn't help but make her wake up suddenly.

What about the second young master? They obviously slept together last night, but they disappeared.

He Yalin sat up, and saw that her side was empty, and there was no even a futon, she couldn't help but be slightly surprised, she lifted the curtain, called Yun Xi, and asked one or two.

"Where did the second master go?"

In the half month since they got married, he had never gotten up so early.

Yun Xi was a little speechless and stopped: "The second young master went to Aunt Tao's place, she suddenly said that her stomach hurt last night, and the second young master went over to take a look after hearing the news......"

He Yalin's face was slightly gloomy, and then she asked, "It's so decent, how can you suddenly have a stomachache?" Is there anything wrong with Aunt Peach? ”

Yun Xi shook her head helplessly: "I heard that I just accidentally pinched it, and it's not a big deal." ”

He Yalin's face became even more ugly, since there was no big problem, why did Zhu Jinlun still have to stay overnight? Thinking about it, I must have been stumped by her again, and I can't come back if I want to.

Yun Xi saw that her face was not very good-looking, so she hurriedly whispered and comforted: "Miss, you should relax your mind, can the slave wait for you to freshen up?" ”

That Aunt Tao doesn't look like a fuel-efficient lamp, in the future, this kind of thing, there will only be more and not less, if the young lady cares about it everywhere, wouldn't it be angry and ruined, it's really not worth it.

After He Yalin dressed up, she went over to greet the elders.

Zhu Jinlun was a little late, He Yalin smiled at him, and didn't say a word about his absence in the morning.

Originally, the rule of the Zhu family was to come to the upper room for breakfast together in the morning, and the people in both rooms had to come over neatly to greet the second elder of the Zhu family.

As the new daughter-in-law, He Yalin naturally listens more and talks less, and the more low-key she is, the better. She sat silently to the side, her expression meek, listening to the gossip of the elders in her ears, and from time to time she raised her eyes and glanced around to see what everyone was doing, and what kind of expressions they were.

The family greeted each other, and the old lady ordered the people to set the meal, and Zhu Feng and Li personally supported the two old people one by one and came to the main hall to eat.

Because there were more people watching the excitement, the old man suggested that everyone should not sit separately for men and women, but sit at the same table to eat.

Seeing this, He Yalin couldn't help but move her eyebrows slightly.

Shen Yuechen and He Yalin are both granddaughters-in-law, and the seats at the table are naturally next to each other.

Shen Yuechen first smiled at her with a gentle face, and then asked Chun Ming to hold Brother Ming on his lap and let him sit down peacefully.

Brother Ming didn't like the smell of fragrant powder on Li's body, and with that smell, he couldn't enjoy the delicious food on this table.

Shen Yuechen held her stomach and took care of Brother Ming in person, He Yalin sat on the side and watched quietly, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, it is really not easy to be someone else's steproom.

Brother Ming'er's sense of smell is sensitive, and he only needs to wrinkle his nose to tell that He Yalin is rubbing jasmine powder today.

The maids took out a bowl of soup and handed it to Shen Yuechen, Shen Yuechen scooped up a spoonful and blew it gently, and fed it to Brother Ming'er's mouth, but saw that he kept tilting his head to look at He Yalin, and reminded with a slight smile: "Brother Ming, eat well, don't always stare at your new aunt, it will make people embarrassed." ”

Brother Ming obediently withdrew his gaze, opened his mouth obediently, and drank the soup in the spoon.

He Yalin has never seen a chubby and cute little guy like Brother Ming, he is very beautiful, with big black eyes, and he always blinks when he looks at people, as if he is thinking about something.

Brother Ming is the baby bump of the Zhu family, and he is usually hugged by everyone like a moon, and He Yalin rarely has the opportunity to be close to him.

Occasionally, I wanted to tease him a few times, but Brother Ming always acted unreasonable, so she had to withdraw her hand a little embarrassed.

When Chai saw it, he just smiled at her and said: "Brother Ming, this kid recognizes people, and the most sticky thing is usually his mother's kiss, and others can't hug him more." ”

He Yalin said with a smile: "The eldest sister-in-law is kind to her mother, and she has to do something as small as eating, which shows how much she loves Brother Ming in her heart." ”

She didn't want to stutter, she just wanted to say something nice.

However, Shen Yuechen is not Brother Ming's biological mother in the end, just a stepmother.

He Yalin couldn't help but think silently in her heart, she loves Brother Ming so much now, but she thinks it is just to make a show in front of the elders, and when she has her own child, I am afraid it will not be like this.

After He Yalin entered the door, she paid special attention to Shen Yuechen's words and deeds, and her every move.

She knew that the Zhu family would definitely compare her and Shen Yuechen with each other.

After all, they have the same background, the same generation, and the same age, one represents the long room, and the other represents the second room......

Shen Yuechen is now loved by the elders in the Zhu family, and she is pregnant, it is not easy for He Yalin to compete with her for favor.

But just after eating a meal, Shen Yuechen felt a little tired.

Brother Ming has grown a lot lately, although he has been sitting still honestly, giving him what to eat, but sitting with him for a long time still makes people feel difficult.

After Brother Ming was full, he was not in a hurry to get off the ground, just leaned on Shen Yuechen's body, touched her stomach with his little hands round and round, grinned from time to time, and smiled.

Seeing this, Zhu Ying, who had eaten enough early and walked around the ground, also leaned over, tilted her head and stretched out a small hand, touched it lightly twice, and then ran away shyly, hesitated for a few seconds and came over again.

The small gesture of the two children made the adults present look very good. However, in the end, Li Shi spoke, saying, "Let's take the children down to play first." ”

Chun Ming nodded hurriedly, reached out to hug it, Brother Ming reluctantly withdrew his hand, turned around, jumped straight to the ground, and took Zhu Ying out with him.

The old lady looked at the two children with a smile and said with a smile: "It's rare for their sister and brother to be inseparable, and they are like one person." ”

It's strange to say, it's obviously Zhu Ying's age, but she just listens to Brother Ming'er's words, Brother Ming does whatever she does, and the two of them almost always act at the same time and never fall alone.

Li Shi said gently: "The love of growing up together since childhood, eating and sleeping together every day, is naturally intimate. ”

Although Shen Yuechen had prepared a wing room for Zhu Ying early, in fact, most of the time, the room was empty.

He Yalin sat on the side, and when she heard their words, she was slightly surprised in her heart: "One is a concubine, and the other is a concubine." In terms of identity, one in the sky and one underground, how can they sleep on the same bed and eat at the same table. ”

There is a difference between the concubines, not to mention a son and a daughter.

Thinking of this, He Yalin couldn't help but raise her eyes to glance at Shen Yuechen, who was chewing and eating slowly, and secretly sneered, and said in her heart: "That's really the case." Even though he pretends to be gentle and loving on the surface, he doesn't care in his heart. If she really loves Brother Ming as her own son, how can she raise him and her daughter together......

He Yalin's heart also has a lot of complaints about the elders of the Zhu family, this is the difference between the official family and the businessman, if it is in his own family, such a thing must not be allowed.

After the meal, the old lady saw that the weather outside was just right, so she said, "Arlinn's child has just entered the door, and she is not familiar with the house and the outside, I think the weather is good today, let's take her around to have a look, so that she can get to know the place." ”

Chai nodded when he heard this: "The old lady is very right, it's time for her to look around." ”

Li Shi didn't show much enthusiasm for He Yalin, and now, except for Brother Ming and Shen Yuechen, her eyes can no longer tolerate the people next to her.

Li Shi saw that Shen Yuechen didn't eat much and didn't like to talk, and seemed to be a little lacking in spirit, so he said: "If you are tired, go back to rest first, don't always accompany us, and occasionally you have to learn to be lazy." ”

Shen Yuechen hadn't planned to go to the garden with them, but after she went back, there were still a lot of things to do.

Shen Yuechen looked at the old lady when she listened, and saw that she also smiled and nodded, "Go back and rest." I didn't want you to come over to make rules, but you were disobedient, this time let your mother-in-law take care of you, I think you are still disobedient. ”

Shen Yuechen slowly stood up, looked at everyone's blessing body, and said with a smile: "In this case, Yuechen doesn't dare to be disobedient, then I will say goodbye first and go back to be lazy." ”

Li Shi smiled when he heard this, and instructed them to serve Chunming well, so he hugged the old lady and said, "That kid goes back to be lazy, I'll accompany you for a stroll, okay?" ”

The old lady smiled slightly, and took them on a tour of the garden.

To be honest, the Zhu family is far bigger than He Yalin imagined. Especially as soon as she entered the Changchun Garden, looking at the exquisite pavilions and pavilions, as well as the fragrant flowers and plants in the garden, she knew why her parents were willing to agree to this marriage.

Come to think of it, the Zhu family is really worthy of "wealth", these four words.

On the other side, after Shen Yuechen returned to the west courtyard, he opened the account book that had been pressed for several days and looked at it carefully.

She had little energy, and after reading a few pages, she had to stop, rub her forehead, and let out a soft sigh.

Suddenly, the maids brought Brother Ming and Zhu Ying back.

Brother Ming's eyes were sharp, and when he saw her rubbing her forehead, as if she was distressed, she hurriedly trotted over, came to the table, stood on tiptoe and looked at the table a few times, and saw that the thick account book was spread out in front of her, so she took two steps back with peace of mind.

Zhu Ying accidentally fell on the road and soiled her skirt, so Chun Ming took her to change her clothes first.

Shen Yuechen told Cui Xin and the other two maids to bring some fresh fruit.

There was no one else in the room, and Brother Ming could be more comfortable, she knew that he didn't like to be watched.

Brother Ming climbed onto the soft couch, tilted his head and said, "You really know how to find work for yourself." ”

Hearing this, Shen Yuechen slowly closed the account book and said softly: "I really want to do something, but unfortunately, my brain is all wooden, and I can't do anything." ”

Brother Ming immediately crossed his legs there, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Since you can't do things anymore, can you come and talk to me?" Mother. ”

Shen Yuechen was slightly stunned, there would be no one else here, and he still had to call her mother, which was really surprising.

Shen Yuechen unconsciously stood up with her waist on her back, walked to Brother Ming'er's side, sat down slowly, looked at him and said with a serious face: "What's wrong with you today?" ”

Brother Ming deliberately cleared his throat and only said, "What's all the fuss about." ”

Shen Yuechen was about to speak, but saw footsteps outside the window, and knew that the maids were back, she suddenly stopped talking, and only waited for them to bring the fruits, then waved her hand and said, "You all go first, Brother Ming is going to sleep, don't disturb him." ”

Now, it is not easy for the two of them to break away from others and talk about secrets for a while.

Shen Yuechen and the others were all gone, and then looked at Brother Ming and said, "Let's try to make a long story short." ”

Brother Ming nodded and continued to say seriously: "I understand. Actually, what you said to me that day, I thought about it and figured it out. ”

Shen Yuechen's eyes flashed slightly, and she thought, it can't be that Brother Ming suddenly wants to change his mind again. After all, he was born to be the kind of restless person.

Brother Ming said calmly: "I was too childish that day, and I couldn't understand what you said well under impulse. Recently, I have thought about it for a long time, and I only feel that the words you have persuaded me in the past are not unreasonable. It's because I'm too arrogant and think too much about everything. In the future, I will listen carefully to what you say, and I will not act rashly anymore. It doesn't matter if it's here, or anywhere else, and it doesn't matter where you and I come from, the world is just as cruel, isn't it? ”

Speaking from his heart, he has lived in the Zhu family for so long, if he only relied on himself, I am afraid that he would not be able to live now.

He always couldn't get used to her cautious appearance, but if she hadn't been careful about herself, would he still be able to live a carefree life like now?

Those things he didn't want to think about, things he didn't disdain to think about, Shen Yuechen had already thought about it for him in advance. In the past, she thought about him, but now, it's time to change it.

"We escaped death and came here, everything is like a dream, but this is not a dream after all, there will be no only gentle and drizzly weather, I don't care about being arbitrary, and treat your kind advice as a tedious chatter. You are the only person in the world who can say those things to me. The only person in this world who can understand me is you, but I never want to understand you...... I'm sorry, it's me who was too late to understand, and I was like a child before, and I'm really sorry to be angry with you. ”

Shen Yuechen only felt that it was not easy for him to say this, and his mood became a little excited for a while, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

With a little tear in her eyes, she sighed softly, "Don't say you're sorry, you don't have anything to be sorry for me." Before, I was a little heavier. Sometimes, what you think well is not necessarily what others want. So, you don't say you're sorry...... Perhaps, I was too anxious. ”

Seeing that she was a little moved, Brother Ming couldn't help but bow his head and said, "No, you're right, I should have said these things a long time ago." ”

In fact, he has already figured it out in his heart, but there are always some twists and turns in his heart, and there are distractions that he shouldn't have, so he has not been able to say what he should say honestly.

Brother Ming knows very well that Shen Yuechen can't be his talisman forever, and he can't always blindly ask for it and rely on it, in the days to come, it should be two people who help each other, understand each other, and support each other.

Letting a woman bother with herself is not what a real man should do. It's rare for him to be around, there is a person like her who is not a relative, but is better than a relative, and he must cherish it.

"I thought about that choice for a long time, and finally came up with the answer."

In calm, Brother Ming said the decision he made after careful consideration. "I want to be a relative with you for the rest of my life, not a friend who gathers and comes and goes with fate. We are relatives, mothers. ”

Shen Yuechen heard it clearly, but she couldn't believe it, she looked at Brother Ming fixedly, looked at his clear and serious eyes, a burst of warmth rose in her heart, and she nodded with tears in her eyes, "Thank you, thank you Brother Ming." ”

There was a lot to say, but in the end it was only these two words.

Her tone trembled slightly, and as she spoke, tears fell down and turned into faint water marks on the placket of her clothes.

Seeing this, Brother Ming raised his little hand to wipe her tears, and said in a helpless tone: "It's all mothers, shouldn't you cry like this." Is that right? Mother. ”

Shen Yuechen was grateful, and hurriedly reached out to hold Brother Ming into his arms, gently stroking his back, and his movements were extremely gentle.

Brother Ming also stretched out his short arm and wanted to hug her back, but he touched her bulging belly first.

His hand gently caressed her belly and smiled, "Now, I'm just like him, and I'm your child." ”

Shen Yuechen smiled silently and took a deep breath before saying, "Then I will also ask you." The eldest brother is like a father, so please help me protect this child together, it's a long road, I'm afraid I won't be able to cope with it alone......"

"Well, don't worry, mother." Brother Ming agreed deeply.

In the past, what he said was his guarantee as a man, but now, what he said to her was his promise as a relative. No one can live alone in this world without restraint, if he has to choose a bond as the foundation, then he will choose Shen Yuechen willingly, because from the moment he came to this world, his and her fates are closely linked.
