Chapter 80: A Thought of Life (7)
I haven't seen her for a day, I don't know how she's doing, but she's still safe. He remembered that he had told her not to leave the Magnolia Courtyard, and that she would be obedient and find an excuse to avoid people.
In that case, she must be there to watch. What is she doing? What would she think? He clenched his palm, as if he had held her hand yesterday and had not let go, and at this moment it still left that slippery feeling in his palm, and the cold fingers touched his nerves.
The footsteps had their own opinions, and they had already taken him in the direction of the Magnolia Courtyard, and by the time he reacted, he had already arrived in front of the hanging flower gate of the Plum Garden. When the mother-in-law guarding the door saw that it was him, her face instantly showed surprise, and she hurriedly stepped forward and made a big salute, saying:
"Is the general going to Xifu so late?" I looked behind him again, and although I was followed by a small servant, I didn't see the lantern in his hand, and said busily:
"The old slave has a lantern here, if the general walks this way, he has to carry a lantern, there are not many people walking on this road, don't slip your feet."
Shen Junzhuo seemed to suddenly come to his senses and froze in place. How did he go to her, and on what grounds? He is her nominal elder, how can there be any reason for the elder to go to her boudoir at night? Even if he didn't care about himself in the slightest, could he not think about her reputation?
He turned around in place, looked up at the bright moon above his head, suddenly felt lonely in his heart, turned around and walked back, and left a sentence for the mother-in-law guarding the door: "Don't go, you guard the door." ”
The woman stood there and was a little overwhelmed. Her son was rescued from the battlefield by the general, took them to Beijing, and saw that they were helpless and had no livelihood, so he arranged for her to come to the Guogong Mansion to guard the door. It's a pity that her son injured a leg, so he can only do some carpentry work at home, otherwise he will still be majestic by the general's side, just like that Zhao Feiyong.
She watched Shen Junzhuo leave, her figure disappeared into the night, and she slapped her legs and went back to the night room dejectedly.
On the second day, Shen Junzhuo sent a little servant to invite Shu Yao, wanting to tell her about the murderer, only then did he know that Shu Yao was really sick, and he was anxious for a while, but he was helpless, and he really wanted to move the Yulan Courtyard into the East Mansion. Fortunately, I sent someone to inquire in the second half of the morning, and I heard that Shu Yao had already seen him, so he was a little relieved.
On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, he asked her to send a message, asking her if she was safe, and vaguely said that he had something to tell her. When I was in Lanyue Tower, I had a feeling of longing, but I felt that after waiting for a long time, I saw the familiar figure on the other side of the bridge, and my mood suddenly improved.
Shu Yao and Liu's mother followed the little girl and went to Lanyue Tower together. Now the entire Yulan Courtyard regards Shen Junzhuo as a great benefactor, and even his little servant has received the highest courtesy, and the little guy has the reward given by Shu Ya in his sleeve, and his heart is full of joy, and his face is full of smiles. It's not that there is much silver, but that everyone in the Magnolia Courtyard is enthusiastic about him, and he feels flattered.
He walked all the way and half-sideways to show Shu Jiao the way, as if she had never been here. Mother Liu grinned lightly, because she was grateful to Shen Junzhuo in her heart, and she felt very pleasing to the eye when she looked at this little guy. Only Shu Yao barely had a smile on his face, but his heart was sad.
After not seeing him for a few days, she found that all she thought about was him, lingering and forgetting. She thought of her own misery, did not know how to face him when she saw him again, and the thought of the morality between them, like a moat separating them, made her tremble like a bone erosion.
As she got closer to that building, her heart beat faster and faster, she couldn't pull him into the abyss of being scolded, she couldn't let him be infamous because of her selfishness. But how she longed to see him, she knew that he had come to her to tell her about the murderer of that day, but that was not the most important thing to her now.
She endured a huge contradiction in her heart, and her steps were a little staggering, Mother Liu accidentally walked to the front, and looked back in surprise, where did she dare to let her know these secrets in her heart, she could only endure her sadness and show a smile, and said:
"It's better, I don't have the strength to walk."
