With the Shen family's secret help, Shen Yuechen's situation in the Zhu family has also undergone subtle changes, not to mention that Mrs. Zhu has treated her more kindly, even the Li family no longer speaks coldly to her, and there is always a faint eagerness in her eyes, looking forward to her getting pregnant as soon as possible. The attitude of the subordinates is also more respectful than before, even if they are far away, they will hurry over to greet them.

On that day, Shen Yuechen read his grandmother's letter, so he burned the letter paper on the spot, so as not to leave a handle and be discovered in the future.

Although the Shen family used to treat her indifferently and meanly, now they are different from the past, they are now a community of interests, and they are people who sit in the same boat, so they will naturally become extremely close.

Although Shen Yuechen didn't know what kind of method the Shen family used to buy Lord Hu, thinking that Lord Hu was always full of magnificent scenery, thinking that he was also a person who liked wealth and luxury, as long as he was willing to put his mind to it, it should not be difficult to find out his weakness.

Mrs. Shen had told Mother Wu before, asking her to serve Shen Yuechen to take medicine every day, and she was not allowed to leave a meal, if the medicine was finished, according to the amount and day of the medicine, she would arrange for someone to send it over.

The big stone that has been hanging in her heart can fall steadily for the time being, Shen Yuechen has really lived a few comfortable days, and according to the days arranged in advance, Zhu Jintang has also rested with her aunts these nights, which makes her feel a lot more relaxed.

After asking An to come back every night, she no longer had to wait for Zhu Jintang to freshen up and go to bed, but only lit the lights and candles in the house. Then, a person reclined on a circle chair made of yellow rosewood, reading quietly. Moreover, I often see it in the middle of the night when I look at it, and occasionally I have to come to dissuade Wu's mother.

When Zhu Jintang is not staying here, she will let Chunming and Cuixin Chun'e take turns to keep vigil, and letting Mingyue Mingxin and them go down to rest seems to be unintentional, but in fact it is deliberately alienated.

Although Mingyue and Mingxin are effective, their minds are too lively, and a pair of eyes are always turning around her body, as if they are staring at people in secret, which makes her feel very uncomfortable.

It was a hot and humid night, and it looked like it was going to rain.

After Shen Yuechen freshened up, she wanted to read a book as usual, she was wearing a thin gauze dress, her hair was loosely tied in a bun, a few strands of broken hair hung down from her ears, and her eyes looked at the pages in her hand without blinking, becoming more and more casual and quiet.

Mingyue couldn't take the turn of the vigil for five days in a row, and she was secretly anxious, so she specially brought a bowl of watermelon ice bowl and walked in, sent it to Shen Yuechen, and said in an earnest tone: "Young grandma, you are bored at night, you can eat an ice bowl to relieve fever." ”

Shen Yuechen raised his head when he heard the sound, glanced at the bright red watermelon pieces, and said with a faint smile: "Let's put it aside for now, I'll eat it later." ”

Who knows, the spring tea on the side is fast-talking, and interjected: "Sister Mingyue, our young grandmother doesn't like to eat watermelon, she loves to eat red dates." ”

Her seemingly unintentional words made Mingyue's expression gloomy, and she smiled slightly embarrassedly: "The slave is stupid." ”

Shen Yuechen smiled slightly: "It's not in the way, you go down and rest first." ”

When Mingyue heard this, she knew that her errand was not done in her heart, so she had to retreat according to her words.

Chun Ming secretly looked at her gloomy face, a slightly mocking smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, who knew that as soon as she turned around, she saw Shen Yuechen looking at her with a serious expression, and was suddenly stunned, and hurriedly asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

Shen Yuechen put the open book on the table, and said in a slight mutter: "Chunming, I have always thought that you are a smart girl, with a calm temperament and not much to say. But just now, you're talking too much, you know? Now, although the midsummer has passed, the heat has not completely faded, and the ice bowl sent by Mingyue is also the right time, why do you have to remind her so much. ”

Chun Ming hurriedly knelt down, bowed her head and admitted her mistake: "The slave knows that she is wrong, and the slave and maid should not talk too much...... However, the slave maid was also for the sake of the young lady, and Wu's mother said that watermelon is a cold thing, and it is not easy to eat too much...... The slave maid is also worried about the young lady's body. ”

Shen Yuechen raised her eyebrows: "If you really think about me, you should not say anything, and after Mingyue retreats, quietly throw away this bowl of ice, there is no need to make extraneous branches." ”

After hearing this, Chun Ming's face turned straight, knowing that he was really talking and saying the wrong thing, so he hurriedly kowtowed to Shen Yuechen respectfully: "What Miss taught me is that the slave knows that she is wrong, and in the future, the slave and the maid will definitely be cautious in their words and deeds, and they will not talk too much." ”

When Shen Yuechen heard this, his expression eased, and a faint smile resurfaced on his face, "It's good for you to remember, get up, help me eat this bowl of ice, so as not to throw it away." ”

Chun Ming smiled slightly when she heard this, hurriedly got up and said thank you, picked up the ice bowl on the table and went to the side to eat slowly, and when she saw Cui Xin looking over, she beckoned to her and quietly fed her a few bites.

Shen Yuechen saw the two of them snickering with satisfaction, slowly retracted her mind and looked at the book again.

Tonight, Zhu Jintang was going to rest at Sun's place as usual, Sun Wenpei hadn't served him for some days, and he couldn't help but be a little excited in his heart, so he specially bathed carefully, and prepared properly, just waiting for Zhu Jintang to come over from the study.

However, she waited and waited, and when she waited until the hour, she didn't see Zhu Jintang, and she couldn't help but be anxious, and wanted to send someone to the study to ask, but she was worried that Zhu Jintang would think she was troublesome, so she had to be patient and continue to wait.

Seeing that the third watch was coming, Sun Wenpei was extremely tired, and he felt that Zhu Jintang was afraid that he would not come over tonight, so he lay back on the bed in frustration, called the maid who kept vigil, and commanded softly: "You send someone to go over quietly to see, is the uncle resting in the study tonight?" ”

The maid answered and hurried out of the room. After a while, he hurriedly ran back, gasping and said, "The slave and maid went over to see it in person, and the uncle didn't rest in the study tonight......"

Sun Wenpei suddenly sat up from the bed excitedly, her pretty face was full of puzzled expressions, and she asked again: "Uncle is not in the study, so where did he go?" Where did he go to rest? ”

Who snatched him? She had to figure it out.

The maid looked puzzled: "The slave doesn't know, when the slave and maid went, there was no one in the study." ”

Sun Wenpei lay down on the bed again angrily, holding the quilt tightly with both hands, covering his head, as if he was sulking with himself, and did not move for a long time.

Shen Yuechen had only read less than a third of the book in his hand before the light in the room suddenly dimmed.

When she looked up, she saw that the candle on the table had burned to the end, and the flame was small and dying.

"It's time to change the candles for Spring Tea." Shen Yuechen called softly, but no one answered, so he knew that Chun Ming would not be there, so he had to get up and find a new candle from the cabinet to light it, and then stand firmly on the candlestick.

Suddenly, she heard the sound of the door opening behind her, so she thought it was Chun Ming coming back, and was about to turn around to call her, but she was startled by Zhu Jintang who suddenly appeared. "Uncle...... How did you get here? "At this hour...... it's time for him to rest.

When Zhu Jintang came back from the study, he saw that the light was still on in her room from a distance, and he was suspicious, so he wanted to come and have a look.

Why hasn't she fallen asleep yet? Could it be that you are waiting for yourself?

Chunming was not here, and naturally there was no one outside who came to pass the news, so Shen Yuechen was really scared by him, but she quickly calmed down, and said with concern: "Uncle just came back from the study?" ”

Zhu Jintang said "um", seeing that she was wearing light pajamas, but she didn't go to bed, and asked out loud, "Why don't you sleep yet?" ”

Shen Yuechen smiled: "The concubine is reading a book." ”

When Zhu Jintang heard this, he suddenly became interested, his eyes fell on a pile of thick books on the table, Xinting walked over leisurely, and asked lightly, "What good books are you reading?" I have to be so diligent and diligent, and I don't sleep for three days. ”

Shen Yuechen followed behind and replied softly: "The concubine is reading a medical book. ”

Zhu Jintang picked up one and looked at it, and it was indeed a medical book. "Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica", "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing Suwen", "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", "Jin Kui Yaolu", as well as "Qianjin Fang" and "Materia Medica".

Zhu Jintang frowned slightly: "For no reason, what are you doing in medical books?" Not feeling well? "Medical books are the most complicated and difficult to read, and few people usually want to read them.

Shen Yuechen shook his head with a smile and said, "Uncle don't worry, everything is fine with the concubine, Lord Hu has carefully examined the concubine before." The concubine occasionally looked through it, but it was just to pass the time. ”

As the saying goes, illness comes from the mouth, and trouble comes out of the mouth. She naturally had other thoughts in her heart, but it was just not good to talk to Zhu Jintang in detail.

Kill time? When Zhu Jintang heard this, he looked at her delicate face, and became more and more unpredictable in his heart what kind of woman she was.

Ordinary women usually like to be a female celebrity and gossip, but she may have read books and always likes to do something different from others.

Zhu Jintang's eyes flashed slightly, and he thought for a while: "It's not too early, let's rest early." ”

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she subconsciously answered yes, and then as if she remembered something, she said loudly: "According to the day, the uncle is going to rest at Aunt Sun's place tonight......"

Zhu Jintang had already walked to the side of the bed, but when he heard her say this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, turned to look at her, and suddenly said sharply: "Are you pushing me away?" ”

Shen Yuechen's expression was a little panicked, she hurriedly shook her head, curtsied, and said, "The concubine doesn't dare, the concubine is just worried that Aunt Sun will keep waiting for the uncle to pass, and she will be restless all night." ”

Zhu Jintang looked at her thoughtfully, and said in a deep voice: "I'm a little tired, so I'll not go tonight." ”

Shen Yuechen naturally didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly stepped forward to wait for him to lie down in his wide clothes, and then he returned to the table and picked up the medical book that he had just seen halfway, and looked at it seriously.

Zhu Jintang lay on the bed and was silent for a moment, but after all, he still didn't calm down, lifted the quilt, sat up straight and said, "Aren't you still sleeping?" ”

Shen Yuechen held the hand of the book, clenched it slightly, and secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "The concubine is not sleepy, I want to read a few more pages." ”

When Zhu Jintang heard this, the expression on his face was indescribably ugly, and he couldn't help but raise his voice to remind her: "When I sleep, I don't like the room to be too bright, so quickly turn off the lights and lie down." ”

Usually looks quite smart, why don't you have the eyesight to see it! He had come to see her on purpose, and she had behaved so carelessly, as if she didn't want him to stay tonight.
