Chapter 70: Postpartum
One
The great pain was like rolling waves, and after the storm and clouds, finally calmed back.
Shen Qingluo felt that her body, like a fluttering leaf, finally anchored in a silent harbor with the undulations of the water surface.
"Anan," she called happily, "you're finally here." ”
The man named Anan stood by the water with his hands behind his back and the jade tree like the wind, and the mountain wind blew his white clothes, which had a fluttering artistic conception.
She looked at his face with admiration, struggling, trying to see her adoring face.
The fiery red sunset shone behind him, setting a dazzling splendor around him, and she couldn't open her eyes.
At that time, the sun was setting in the sky.
Anan looked down at the fish swimming in the water, his eyes were complicated and hesitant.
"She went to the capital." He looked depressed: "Her father is in prison, and she wants to use her body as a gift to the emperor in exchange for her father's freedom. ”
She froze for a moment.
I only heard him continue to say in a sad tone: "If I want to watch my beloved girl accompany other men, I can't do it, even if he is the son of heaven." He furrowed his brow in pain, and the look on his face moved her.
"So, little fish, I beg you to do me a favor." He slowly squatted down: "I know, you will definitely fulfill my wish." ”
What can I do for you? She shook her head gently, and the grief in her heart, like a faint wound, spread.
His brow tightened, as if he was making a difficult decision.
Time seemed to stand still, as if a century had passed.
"Xiao Yu'er, all your pain, in the next life, I will compensate you." He stared into the water, and slowly, pulled out the object behind him.
It was a sharp axe that shone with cold light, and in the afterglow, it reflected his beautiful face.
She shuddered.
What are you doing?
Before she could dodge, the sharp axe suddenly slashed at her.
Shen Qingluo screamed "oops", and suddenly woke up with a torn heartache.
I was in a cold sweat and soaked through my white clothes.
The roof with its gold silk curtain made her realize that it was on her familiar bed.
The scene of fear just now was nothing more than a dream.
If the dream in the past was a beautiful encounter, then now, this is clearly a tragedy that ends.
What does such a strange dream portend?

"Ma'am, are you awake?" Kaneko's smile appeared in her sight.
After Shen Qingluo woke up, her eyes quickly moved to the pillow: "Where is my child?" ”
The glow on Kaneko's face vanished, and she hesitated, glancing around, apparently begging for help.
"Where?" Shen Qingluo was a little restless.
"The master said that your body is weak and you need to take care of it, so the master took the little boy away." Xiao Rong said cautiously on the side: "It is said that the old lady will take care of it." ”
Shen Qingluo was angry and anxious, struggling, trying to get up from the bed, but she was weak.
"This beast is going to kill my child!" Shen Qingluo gritted her teeth: "I'm going to find him to theorize!" ”
"Don't look for it, I'm here." A gentle voice came into Shen Qingluo's ears as the warm curtain was lifted.
Nanyun carried a food box and strode towards the bed.
"Where's my child? Give it back to me! Shen Qingluo was furious.
Nanyun was unmoved, and looked around: "You all stand down, I have something to say to Madame." ”
After the maids retreated, Nagumo opened the food box on the table and brought out a steaming can of chicken soup. The rich fragrance immediately filled the room.
"You promised me that as long as I signed the contract, you would not hurt my child." Shen Qingluo tried her best to restrain her anger, she understood that this man controlled her lifeline.
"Yes, I will never break my promise." He smiled, scooped up the chicken broth with a spoon, blew it on his lips, and slowly put it on Shen Qingluo's lips.
Shen Qingluo turned her face in disgust to show her refusal.
Nagumo was very patient: "So, I invited a nurse to take good care of my son." ”
Shen Qingluo's anger rose: "Your son? Do you admit it's your son? ”
Nanyun smiled: "Naturally, it's my son." So, I won't hurt him, please believe that. ”
"Trust you?" Shen Qingluo said coldly: "The words of a beast are also believable!" ”
Nanyun sighed: "I really don't know about your mother's affairs. ”
"Don't know? Forced her to hand over the secret recipe, don't you know it? Shen Qingluo sneered.
Nanyun suddenly changed color: "You, it turns out that you know everything?" ”
"If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do. What you do, you can hide from anyone! She angrily knocked down the spoon.
Nanyun gently put the bowl on the table: "I knew I couldn't hide it from you." Let me tell you the truth, this secret recipe is what Boss Cai wants. ”
"Boss Cai?" Shen Qingluo said suspiciously: "Which Boss Cai?" ”
"It's the new owner of Fengxiangfang." He whispered.
"No wonder." Shen Qingluo sneered: "What benefits did he give you?" Is it worth it for you? ”
Nanyun hesitated for a moment: "He has already recommended me to Youdaoke." ”
Shen Qingluo said disdainfully: "This is what you call Lingyun Zhizhi? ”
Nanyun's eyes looked away: "I have the ambition to serve the country, but I have no way to be loyal." Now that the feudal town is bigger, the world is gradually in chaos, and the imperial court's scientific expeditions have been repeatedly postponed, and the introduction is also a helpless move. ”
Shen Qingluo said in disgust: "Who cares about your way of drilling camps, I only ask you, where is the child?" ”
Nanyun looked down at the fragments, and seemed a little sad: "It's really unbearable for husband and wife to do this job." As for the child, I swear to you in the name of my late father that I will treat him well. ”
Shen Qingluo sneered: "I don't believe a word." ”
"Believe it or not." Nagumo stood up and stared into her eyes: "Given the current situation, you are really not suitable for raising children. ”
"Why!" She said angrily, "Do you really believe those nonsense? Thought I'd kill the baby? ”
"There are some reasons that you still don't know as well. If you insist on going your own way, I can't guarantee that you won't do anything to hurt each other. He lightly covered the chicken broth: "You take care of it, I'll come back to see you." ”
"I'll never want to see you!" She casually touched a jade ring on the side of the pillow and smashed it.
Kunshan jade is broken, and grace is broken.
Nanyun's footsteps paused slightly, but he didn't look back: "I have already named the child, it is called 'Yilin', Nanyilin. With that, he lifted the warm curtain and left.
"One coming." Shen Qingluo muttered.
Jin Zi comforted: "Although the slave doesn't understand the master's intentions, one thing is certain, the little boy is his own flesh and blood, and he will not hurt him, so you can rest assured, madam." As long as the lady takes care of her body, are you still afraid that she won't be able to meet the little son? It's not separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. ”
"yes, I think the gold is right." Xiao Rong agreed.
Shen Qingluo closed her eyes in exhaustion.
If he can swear by his father, there should be no falsehood.

Nanyun couldn't wait to hold the swaddling clothes and show them in front of the old lady: "Mother, look, your grandson!" ”
The old lady smiled: "What a beautiful little guy, exactly the same as when you were a child." Hold on to your feet and don't get sick of me. ”
Nanyun smiled: "How do I think that as soon as you see your grandson, you will be in good spirits." Your old man needs to get better as soon as possible, and my son is still counting on you to bring his grandson. ”
The old lady's face sank: "I heard, you don't plan to give her mother?" In this world, how can there be a reason to separate mother and son! ”
Nanyun carefully handed the swaddling clothes to the nurse: "Take the little boy down and take good care of it." ”
When the nurse stepped back and saw that there was no one else in the house, Nanyun sat down beside the old lady's bed, with a serious face: "It's not that the child is ruthless, but there is really a last resort." ”
The old lady said dissatisfiedly: "What kind of trouble? ”
Nanyun said softly: "I said, don't be afraid. ”
The old lady looked at him with a grim expression and couldn't help but wonder: "Why are you afraid?" ”
Nanyun lowered her voice: "Your daughter-in-law, she is not human. ”
The old lady was shocked: "What did you say?" ”
"What the child sees with his own eyes, there will be no fake." Nanyun attached to her mother's ear: "She is a monster." ”
The old lady was stunned and broke out in a cold sweat: "Monster? ”
"Except for my mother and son, no one else knows about this matter." Nanyun caressed her mother's heart: "You don't have to be afraid, Er's careful observation, except for the weirdness of the body, there is nothing wrong with it, and it will not hurt the child, but the child hurts her heart." ”
"What are you going to do?" The old lady was terrified.
"Now, she lives in the lily garden and won't go out for the time being. As for what will happen in the future, I have no plans yet. It's just that the child can't feed her, but it's inevitable. That's why I have to worry about it. "Nanyun Road.
The old lady sighed: "Good daughter-in-law, how can this be." It's all your fault, you are bent on climbing to the rich, but you married a monster as your wife, this will be passed back to your hometown, and the face of your ancestors will be lost to you. ”
Nanyun shushed: "Mother, be quiet, beware of the wall with ears." ”
The old lady looked at the flowers and trees shaking outside the window, and was a little timid: "Is there anyone outside?" My mother was a little scared. ”
Nanyun said softly: "Don't be afraid. No one. ”
No one? The man under the window held his breath, not daring to make a sound.

"Are you telling the truth?" Qingluan drank the tea quietly, with a faint expression between his eyebrows: "I listened to your idea last time, and I also bought off the little master next to Master Huihong, but it ended up like this." They even gave birth to children. So much so that Xianggong is still angry with me to this day. ”
Yuan'er said eagerly: "This time it's true. I heard it with my own ears, and I could never be wrong. ”
"Oh, that's what Xiang Gong really said?" Qingluan narrowed his eyes slightly: "If you play any tricks with me, I'm not a vegetarian." ”
Yuan'er approached: "I said hello to the old lady, passing by the window, it was also a coincidence, I just heard it." Xianggong said that Mrs. is a monster, so she will not hand over the child to her to raise. ”
Qingluan pondered slightly: "Could it be really a monster?" ”
Yuan'er looked like a gossip: "The last time I made a fuss, it was really crooked." ”
Qingluan stared at Yuan'er's face covered with incense powder: "What do you say?" ”
Yuan'er stepped forward and whispered.
Qingluan slowly put down the teacup: "Let me believe you again." If I bring down Shen Qingluo, I will definitely not forget the benefits of my sister. ”
Yuan'er covered her mouth and smiled: "Look at what you said, we sisters are united, and what do we share with each other." Okay, my sister is ready, and my sister is leaving. After speaking, he bowed slightly and slowly retreated.
Looking at Yuan'er's flowery back, Xiaohuan said hatefully: "What a good person!" I thought we didn't know, it was she who told the master, so the master appeared in the lily garden in time! ”
Qingluan said lightly: "I know it in my heart." Now is not the time to clean her up. ”
Xiaohuan was silent for a moment, and suddenly said, "How credible is what she said just now?" ”
Qingluan smiled slightly: "Is it true, why not give it a try." If something goes wrong, it can be pushed on her. ”
