CHAPTER XXXV

When the housekeeper was reporting to Sheng Bohong, Chen Simian also went out of the courtyard and invited the kneeling Sheng Li in.

"Mother, why don't you let your son go to the capital?" Sheng Li saw Chen Fuyue, who was holding the kettle and sprinkling water on the spring in the garden, he did not have the leisure to accompany the flowers and grass, and after standing still, he asked a straight question.

Chen Fuyue didn't reply at first, she patiently watched the drops of water slip off the red flowers and green leaves, then put down the kettle, sat on the stone bench, and asked him helplessly: "Why do you have to be a fast catcher?" Once he left Zhaofeng, he encountered anything, and his mother couldn't reach it. Ah Li, letting you be a fast catcher in Zhaofeng is already your mother's greatest forgiveness to you! ”

After listening to Sheng Li, his heart was very sad, he thought that in this rigid Sheng Mansion, at least one Chen Fuyue understood him, it turned out that no matter what kind of livelihood he was doing now, he would never be able to break free from the shackles of the word family.

"My son fell into the water at the age of eight and was robbed at the age of ten, all because of the identity of the grandson of the Sheng family," Sheng Li smiled bitterly, walked to Chen Fuyue's side and sat down, and said the question that had been hidden in his heart for many years, crying blood: "The murderer who pushed his son into the water is still unknown, can't he really find out?!" In this house, I'm afraid that even the little guy guarding the back door knows that in the blue sky and daylight, he can commit murder in the Sheng family, except for the Sheng family, who else? But in the end, it won't be over, isn't it the acquiescence of the head of the family?! ”

Sheng Li said as he spoke, feeling more and more that he, as the son-in-law of the next head of the Sheng family, actually lived his life like this, and if he was known by those important members of the court who went out of the Sheng family school, it would be a real shame.

Chen Fuyue was reminded of the old things, and the aura around her body became more and more stagnant.

Sheng Li couldn't take care of a lot, and since he had already told the grievances that had been backlogged for many years, there was no reason to stop at the critical moment, and he was ruthless: "Not to mention the robbery, there is no news so far, who is it for the Sheng family this time, forcing the head of the family to bury all the things?!" The one who saved his son at the beginning was the head of the family, who kept saying and insulted the lowly family, and the one who exchanged his life for his son's life, in the end? Does Mother remember? ”

"Don't talk about it." With Sheng Li's voice questioning, Chen Fuyue's chest was tight and short of breath, and cold sweat broke out.

"Why not? Isn't it that my mother has forgotten? Sheng Li hated his identity, he hated Sheng Bohong even more for everything he did for the Sheng family, he was the one who sacrificed from beginning to end, so he gritted his teeth and continued: "My son doesn't dare to forget!" The scene of the head of the family holding the silver ticket and throwing it at the orphans and widows is entangled and torn apart day and night in the hearts of his sons, as well as his conscience that is about to be extinguished. ”

"This Shengfu, which seems to outsiders to be a noble court, has long been a place of wart and carbuncles. Mother, be fast, not only for the one who saved her son's life, but also for the son himself. "The people that Sheng Bohong looks down on, the things they do will not be passed on to the world, and they can't help protect the government and people, but they can protect the people they want to protect and do what they want to do within the scope of their ability.

What Sheng Li wanted, it was never like this, and the gloomy and oppressive Sheng Mansion often made him breathless.

He dreamed of leaving, running away, not wanting to be cultivated to be the next Sheng Bohong, a person who abandoned his conscience for the sake of his family.

"I didn't know how ridiculous you hated this place so much!" After listening to his crying, Chen Fuyue felt that for many years, Sheng Bohong and her had become a joke.

This realization made her even more angry, and then with a sneer on her face, she shouted angrily: "Get out! ”

“...... Mother? ”

"Get out! Chen Qi, Chen Ba, what are you doing? If you don't bring the eldest young master back, don't go crazy here! Get out-" Chen Fuyue couldn't restrain the sadness in her heart, her roar was higher than the other, until finally it had turned into a roar in her throat.

The Chen brothers hurriedly stepped forward, regardless of Sheng Li's wishes, dragged left and right, and it didn't take long for him to disappear in front of Chen Fuyue.

Until the courtyard door was closed, Chen Fuyue hugged Chen Simian's waist, tears dripped down, and she couldn't even suck her clothes clean: "How can he not like here?" Why?! Why?!! Obviously he is living a better life! ”

"If it hadn't been for that, maybe both of them would have been doing well." Chen Simian looked down at Chen Fuyue, who was crying like a child, and felt a faint pain in her heart.

Just when Chen Fuyue was holding her and desperately venting her inner sorrow, Sheng Li had been dragged back to the room by the Chen brothers, and the two saw that his face was gloomy, so they dared to stand at the door and continue to guard, leaving him alone in the room.

As the sun fell, Sheng Li closed the door, because he loved to arrange his own food, clothing, housing and transportation, and never chose the subordinates to serve, so when he drove Chen Qi and Chen Ba out, darkness swept the entire courtyard.

On the ground at the door, the pork rib soup, which was originally clear in juice, had a thick layer of oil flowers floating on it, leaving only flies and insects flying around.

Sheng Li lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

If he hadn't gotten Chen Fuyue to agree to help him escape from the Sheng family tomorrow, the task of escorting Li Yu would fall to the rest of his colleagues.

Such a thing must not happen, Sheng Li knows very well that if Li Yu's case cannot be sent to the end by his own hands, he will not be able to completely give up the identity of the family in the true sense.

There is fire, wind, and lead, and when you kick the door, you can't see any sparks.

In the humid weather, the cold of the May night still could not soothe his restless heart, and Sheng Li's ears moved slightly, and there was a knock on his door.

He continued to turn his back to the wall and said, "Don't knock, I don't have an appetite." ”

"Young Master, it's Madame." There was silence outside for a moment, and then Chen Simian's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

Sheng Li hurriedly got up and went to open the door, only to see Chen Fuyue dressed in a plain robe and wrapped in a black cloak, with a stiff smile on her face, standing in front of Sheng Li with Chen Simian.

The faces of the two were hidden in the moonlight, their expressions were indistinguishable, Sheng Li couldn't distinguish the person in front of him for a while, and the tone of inquiry was stupid: "Mother?!"

"Go in and say." The woman standing at the front spoke up and entered the room first.

As soon as he heard her speak, Sheng Li woke up from the haze in an instant, and he followed into the house, ready to pour a bowl of herbal tea for the two, but was stopped by Chen Fuyue: "Okay, I'm dressed like a thief, where do I look like I'm coming to you for tea." ”

Leaning on the faint candlelight in the room, Chen Fuyue clearly saw Sheng Li's pale face, she sighed slightly in her heart, and told the reason for coming here late at night, and at the same time comforted Sheng Li: "I came to you to tell you that my mother is telling lies during the day, don't go to your heart." ”

“?”

The sudden gesture of goodwill made Sheng Li confused, and the scene of Chen Fuyue's fierce expulsion was vivid, and she said that her eyes, anyone could see at a glance, that they had been crying for a long time.

"Mother...... What do you mean? Sheng Li couldn't figure out her intentions.

Chen Fuyue lowered her head and took a deep breath, and said: "If you don't show it to the head of the family, he will definitely send his cronies to take care of you, although there are few of his subordinates who can fight, but my mother is not good at disobeying in public, so she made this decision." ”

“......”

Listening to her explanation, Sheng Li didn't believe it even more, if you talk about who is the most unfilial in the Sheng Mansion, Chen Fuyue bears the brunt, and the word disobedience is simply tailor-made for her, at least in the Sheng Mansion.

The corners of Sheng Li's mouth twitched, and he said speechlessly: "Mother means ...... Agree with your son to go to the capital?! Before Sheng Li could react, his mouth blurted out, and the more he spoke, the more surprised he became, and in the end, he didn't even raise his pitch unconsciously.

Chen Fuyue was under his expectant expression, her mouth curled slightly, and she nodded stiffly.

"Son, thank you Mother!"

Seeing that he was immersed in joy, Chen Fuyue didn't say much, she left in a hurry with Chen Simian.

Even though almost no one has passed on the road in Fuzhong at this time, the two of them are still walking very hidden.

After returning to the room, Chen Fuyue took off her cloak and said with a smile: "It's so easy to deceive, if you go to the capital, you won't be gnawed by those wolf cubs and you won't even have scum left, Si Mian, Ming'er will find a time to talk to Chen Qi and Chen Ba, and let them follow the eldest young master to the capital." ”

After Chen Simian responded, her eyes wandered back and forth on her, she hesitated for a while, but she was still relieved after all, she asked, "Sister, do you really believe that person?" ”

"It never matters whether you believe it or not," Chen Fuyue thought of the black-robed man who suddenly appeared in her room, bent down on the table, stared at the old things placed at the head of the bed, and said, "...... I can't afford to bet. ”

There was no need to look back, Chen Simian knew what she was looking at, but it was really bad to be constrained, she asked, "What should we do next?" ”

"Did you deliver the news from Sheng Bohong's room?"

Chen Simian nodded, she groped in the placket of her chest, found a note, and with a slight movement, the note reached Chen Fuyue's hand.

After reading it, Chen Fuyue hooked the corners of her mouth and said, "It's not a bad thing this afternoon." ”

While putting the note on the candle flame and burning it, she instructed Chen Simian: "Sheng Bohong thinks that I have made the same choice as him, and there is no additional manpower in the house, we will do everything as usual, wait for the day after tomorrow, and let Chen Qi send Ah Li out of the house at that time!" ”

"However, even if Sheng Bohong despises it, the front and back doors will inevitably be guarded more tightly." There are many scholars in the Sheng family, and there are no strong martial arts people, if Chen Qi is allowed to fight directly, he will inevitably have a competition with Sheng Bohong.

Now, it's not time to completely tear your face with him.

After Chen Fuyue disposed of the ashes, she glanced at her and said, "Are you stupid, ask Chen Qi tomorrow, do you like to throw people out of the wall?" Or do you like to dig a dog hole and drill for Ale? Let him choose one of his own. ”

Looking at Chen Simian, who was stunned and wide-eyed after she finished speaking, she advised: "Don't forget to avoid those dog paws in the Sheng Mansion, whether it's you or Chen Qi, go outside to rest." ”

Then she walked to the edge of the bed, leaned down and lay down, she picked up the rattle placed on the side of the pillow, twisted it between her fingers, rubbed it back and forth, and listened to the sound of the drum, her eyes were gentle.
