The thunder was loud and the rain was raging.

Shen Yuechen asked the maids to close the doors and windows, and lit an extra lamp to make the room brighter.

Wu's mother was busy and said, "Miss has been busy all day, why don't you rest early?" ”

Shen Yuechen listened to the sound of the rain outside, and smiled bitterly: "The rain is so loud, I can't sleep when I lie down, mom go to sleep first, I'll sit for a while." ”

Wu's mother knew that she was light and would not be able to sleep well if there was movement around her, so she wanted to get up and go to the kitchen to cook her a bowl of soothing soup. Coincidentally, Mrs. Li was also there, and she seemed to have just cooked a bowl of fish soup, which made the room smell fishy.

Mother Wu couldn't help frowning and said, "It's a heavy taste." ”

When Mrs. Li heard this, she hurriedly smiled and said: "Aunt Qin just sent someone to say that she wanted to drink crucian carp soup, and she didn't let garlic and ginger and seasonings be put in it, saying that she would send it directly when it was cooked." ”

Mother Wu shook her head helplessly. Aunt Qin's personality has always been tricky, and she often comes up with some ideas and deliberately makes things difficult for people in the kitchen.

Mrs. Li didn't like Qin's personality either, and then said: "Aunt Qin must not like those fishy fish soups, I guess she is probably prepared for that dead cat." That little brute, always running around in the yard, just scratched Cui'er's child a few days ago, fortunately it was Cui'er, in case it hurt the grandmother and aunts, then the consequences will be ......"

Mother Wu was silent, only grabbed a handful of medicinal herbs and put them in boiling water, and slowly boiled them over a simmer.

Seeing that she was silent and only focused on guarding the medicine pot, Mrs. Li retreated a little embarrassed.

Suddenly, Mother Wu brought the soothing soup into Shen Yuechen's house, she originally wanted to talk about the cat, but thinking that she was tired all day, she didn't say anything.

After Shen Yuechen drank the soothing soup, she fell asleep quickly, perhaps because she was too tired during the day, or because the effect of the soothing soup was too good, she slept very soundly this night.

The next morning, with the fresh and moist breath after the rain, Shen Yuechen got up with a cheerful look.

Thanks to Wu's mother's blessing, she slept a very rare good night's sleep, her fatigue was swept away, and her mood improved. However, this good mood did not last long, and she heard a surprising news from the maids.

Last night, Sun had a nightmare, and she was so frightened that she heard that she accidentally had a fetal gas.

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she chuckled in her heart, only to feel that the situation was not good.

At this time, there were already a lot of people in Sun's bedroom, and Cao was sitting on the edge of the bed and softly comforting the pale Sun Wenpei, she was half-lying on the bed, her complexion was very bad, her expression was anxious, and her eyes were uneasy, as if she was really frightened by something. Liu, who has a quiet personality, stood at the head of the bed with a worried face, looking like he didn't know what to do. Mother Xia stood at the end of the bed, still holding a bowl of steaming millet porridge in her hand. And the most surprising thing is that Qin Taoxi is actually there, she is wearing a juan gauze gold silk embroidered dress, and she is still dressed brightly. She sat on one side, slowly eating her tea one bite at a time, without looking at Sun, obviously not caring about her.

Shen Yuechen put on a worried expression, walked quickly to Sun's bedside, and asked softly, "I heard that my sister had a nightmare last night?" How's it going now? Do you want to ask a doctor to take a look? ”

Sun Wenpei had been in a silent daze, but after hearing Shen Yuechen's voice, he immediately came to his senses, held her hand, and said in an excited tone: "Grandma, someone wants to harm me, someone wants to harm the concubine." ”

Her hands were cold, her expression was terrified, and she didn't look like she was pretending.

Shen Yuechen frowned and said, "You say slowly, what's going on?" ”

The expression on Sun Wenpei's face suddenly became a little weird, he turned his head and stared at the window, and said with a gloomy face: "There has always been a dark shadow outside the window, as if a person is standing...... But his eyes, his eyes were flashing, glowing, so scary, so scary, so scary......" As soon as she had finished speaking, she suddenly hid her face with her hands, and could not cry out loud to herself.

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she knew that someone was deliberately making trouble, she raised her eyes and looked at everyone, and then said coldly: "Mother Xia, who was the person who kept vigil in the house last night?" ”

Mother Xia took a step forward, bowed down and replied, "Back to the young grandmother, the people who kept vigil last night were slaves and maids Yun'er. ”

"Did you notice anything out of the ordinary? Did you see the black shadow that Aunt Sun said? ”

Mother Xia shook her head helplessly: "There was a thunderstorm last night, and the windows in the house were all closed, and the slave didn't see anything." "Last night, she and Yun'er took turns guarding the Sun family, never leaving an inch, and didn't see anything. Who knows, in the middle of the night, Sun Wenpei suddenly sat up with a spirit, whimpering and crying, not saying that he saw some dark shadow, the whole person was trembling, as if he had seen a ghost.

Mother Xia felt that Sun Wenpei was just frightened by her nightmare, and then, deliberately making a big fuss, she continued: "Grandma, Aunt Sun has not been sleeping very well these days, and she must have had a nightmare last night, which scared herself." ”

Sun Wenpei looked at Mother Xia with tears in his eyes, his face immediately turned pale, his shoulders trembled slightly, and he choked up: "I saw it, I really saw it, the shadow was outside, and his eyes were flashing with a ghostly light, just like ...... It's like a cat's eyes......"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, and their eyes all fell on Qin Taoxi's body, after all, she was the only one who raised cats in this yard.

Qin Taoxi suddenly smiled when he heard this, but there was a hint of disdain in his smile, and then, he paused his teacup with a "bell" and said coldly: "What does my sister mean by this?" Could it be that you're talking about my glass? ”

Sun Wenpei's body trembled even more, and he glanced at Qin Taoxi vaguely, and then lowered his head again, not saying a word.

Shen Yuechen was also a little confused for a while, only to see Qin Taoxi slowly get up, and said disapprehantly: "I came to visit with good intentions." Unexpectedly, my sister not only made me feel emotional, but also suspected me so much, which is really chilling! My glass is just a kitten. If my sister doesn't like it, just tell me that I'll just send it away, so why bother making up such a lie! After speaking, she gently combed her sideburns with her fingers coated with Yin Hongkoudan, and said to Shen Yuechen's blessed body: "Grandma, the concubine shouldn't have come today, so she won't sit down anymore and retire first." ”

Shen Yuechen hurriedly said: "Aunt Sun was also over-panicked for a while, and she was a little distracted. I hope my sister doesn't take what she said to heart. ”

Qin Taoxi's eyes had a look that seemed to be smiling, and he looked at her and said lightly, "It's okay." If the concubine behaves correctly and sits up straight, she is naturally not afraid of being framed! ”
