While they were in a stalemate, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps outside the door. Li Changhe supported Magpie and hurriedly opened the door and walked in. When he saw Shen Zhongqing, Magpie plopped down and knelt down, "...it's all my fault. I made Aunt Chu angry. I'm willing." If you are punished, I beg the general not to blame the lady."
Seeing Magpie's red and swollen face, Shen Zhongqing trembled and thought to himself, "Yi'er said she only slapped her mouth twice, how could it be like this?" Suddenly, he remembered what Rong Sheng said about Magpie four years ago. He went to the Number One Scholar's Mansion for help and was beaten into a pig's head.
"You don't want your life. You're running here in the middle of the night on such a cold day!" Hearing that the magpie was still panting, Zhen Shiniang stood up in shock, "...get up quickly and check the fetal pressure carefully." Step forward. Just help him up.
"Please general, please don't punish the lady." Magpie knelt on the ground stubbornly and refused to get up.
Zhen Shiniang wailed in her heart.
Whose slave is she? No wonder there were so many traitors during the Anti-Japanese War. It turns out that people are really afraid of evil people. He only had such a black face and this magpie turned his back.
"A body that is seven or eight months old will kill two people if it gets pregnant!" She was telling the magpie, but Zhen Shiniang looked at Shen Zhongqing, with a suppressed anger in her tone.
Shen Zhongqing glanced at her, lowered his head and said coldly, "Get up."
Magpie stood up and told the story carefully.
The facts were before his eyes, and suddenly, Shen Zhongqing's interest waned.
After a long time, he sighed, "...No matter what, you shouldn't hit her in the face."
He just went back with a swollen face like a pig's head. Now the entire general's palace remembered that he had a notoriously evil wife, which made Chu Xinyi cry endlessly. Her mother forced him to come and divorce her overnight. , and also threatened to drive him out of the ancestral home immediately and not take away a single piece of the Shen family.
"She slapped the magpie in the face." Zhen Shiniang muttered in a low voice, with the stubbornness of a child's fighting spirit in her words.
Shen Zhongqing raised his eyes in surprise, but saw that her expression was calm, without any trace of shame.
After all, this temper of being careless and seeking revenge has not changed.
She was still a little angry at first. But when she thought that Zhen Shiniang was ten times more arrogant than she was five years ago, Shen Zhongqing suddenly felt relieved and felt a slight sense of relief. She no longer found all kinds of excuses and reasons to mess around. She could It was rare to explain this matter so calmly and clearly. There was really no need for him to worry about her any more.
After all, it was Chu Xinyi who was wrong this time.
Moreover, Zhen Shiniang has that kind of temperament.
The pregnant magpie was beaten like this. If she didn't fight back, she wouldn't be Zhen Shiniang!
For several months, Shen Zhongqing has been feeling vaguely uneasy. He felt that Zhen Shiniang seemed to have changed her soul and was possessed by an evil spirit. Otherwise, a person would not suddenly change gender, which was why he was about to change his gender. He is greedy for her exquisite cooking skills and appreciates her superb chess skills, but he avoids her as a snake-like reason why he does not come to his ancestral home.
At this point, Shen Zhongqing was convinced that Zhen Shiniang was the original Zhen Shiniang. It was just five years of poverty that made her become tolerant and calm. This gave rise to a detachment that can be seen in the world.
"Go and cook a bowl of noodles." We can't talk about Li's affairs tonight, so let's wait until tomorrow.
Cooking noodles?
Still concentrating on how to deal with the next thing, Zhen Shiniang couldn't keep up with Shen Zhongqing's jumping thoughts. She looked at Shen Zhongqing in astonishment and said secretly: "Didn't you say we'll leave in a while? Why do you have to do it again? Have a meal?"
"...It's late tonight. I probably can't find the inn. I'll just spend the night here for the time being." Shen Zhongqing explained with a straight face.
Magpie Qiuju already had a smile on her face.
Zhen Shiniang lamented, houses are the most valuable these days, whoever owns the house is the boss, this is his house, he is the boss and he has the final say.
The noodles were chewy and chewy. A large bowl of noodles was brought to them. They both drank up the soup, and Rong Sheng was still a little unsatisfied.
Zhen Shiniang wondered if they would have indigestion after eating so much in the middle of the night.
But this was not something she worried about. She ordered Qiu Ju to move her bedding away and settled the two of them in the east room.
A night of silence.
When Shen Zhongqing woke up early the next morning, Zhen Shiniang had already sent Jian Wu Jianwen to the backyard and cooked a delicious breakfast.
After breakfast, Qiu Ju and Magpie both guarded Zhen Shiniang and did not dare to leave.
"You guys go out..." Shen Zhongqing put down his tea cup and said to the three magpies.
Rong Sheng responded, turned around and left.
The magpie grabbed Zhen Shiniang.
"Go ahead..." Zhen Shiniang patted her hand.
Shen Zhongqing had something to discuss with her alone, and he couldn't tolerate her.
"Then... miss, be careful..." Magpie glanced at Shen Zhongqing uneasily.
Shen Zhongqing frowned.
Zhen Shiniang hurriedly pushed the magpie.
Watching her and Qiu Ju walking out, Zhen Shiniang stood up and refilled Shen Zhongqing's tea in person, "...General, won't you go back to Beijing today?"
"Shi Niang..." Shen Zhongqing's voice was rare and gentle.
The fingers holding the tea trembled slightly, Zhen Shiniang's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately put the teacup in front of Shen Zhongqing, "I have something to ask the general."
Just as he was hesitating about how to talk about the reconciliation, after hearing this, Shen Zhongqing suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and said in a relaxed tone, "If Shi Niang has something to do, just talk." After all, a couple can do their best before reconciliation. Fulfilling her wish can be regarded as doing your best.
"I'm afraid I won't live long with a body like this..." Zhen Shiniang poured herself another cup of tea, turned around and sat down, "It's just that Qiu Ju Magpie followed me once, I hope the general can tolerate them at least. Find a job for them in the village outside the general's mansion, they can live a life without worries, and I can rest in peace."
She doesn't have long to live?
Thinking of her weight as light as catkins, Shen Zhongqing suddenly raised his head.
Inexplicably, his heart beat violently.
"Four years ago...what...happened?"
Of course I will give you a son!
She was complaining in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it out loud. Thinking that the Jian Wu Jian Wen took the surname of her father in her previous life, Zhen Shiniang felt a lot more balanced. She said vaguely, "The doctor said I have the most... to live... Two years..."
Do you really only have two years to live?
Why did she say it so calmly?
Suddenly, what I faced two years later was not life or death, but a spring outing.
A general's fame lasts forever. As a general across the battlefield, he is used to seeing life and death, and even more used to seeing people struggling before death. Because of a greedy life, how many people betrayed their friends before the battle and betrayed their friends. The buyer begged for mercy, But few people can say the word "death" so calmly!
Looking at Zhen Shiniang quietly, Shen Zhongqing's eyes flashed with confusion.
Looking at the calm eyes in front of her, Shen Zhongqing suddenly remembered that when she came here three days ago, she went to the nearby town to seek a famous doctor.
Maybe this is true.
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Shen Zhongqing felt agitated. He stood up and strode out.
Zhen Shiniang sat motionless, with an almost feathery calmness in her eyes.
"Miss!" As soon as Shen Zhongqing left, Qiu Ju magpie rushed in, "He made peace with you?"
Seeing Zhen Shiniang shaking her head, Magpie's voice was sharp with excitement. "You didn't agree?" That's why he left angrily?
"He didn't mention..." Zhen Shiniang shook her head again.
"That……"
Why did the general get so angry?
The words kept spinning on Magpie's lips, and she looked at Zhen Shiniang uneasily.
"Bring the Go chess here..." Zhen Shiniang stood up and came to the kang.
Qiu Ju moved the Kang table and carefully laid out the chessboard.
Bang, Zhen Shiniang placed the black seed in her hand at the corner of the star, picked up another white seed, and placed them one by one. Zhen Shiniang's expression remained as usual, but her heart was churning like boiling water.
Both Magpie and Xiao Yu said that he was a man of great faith and righteousness.
People who are trustworthy are open-minded. She bet that he was an upright person and would not abandon her when she was sick, so she rushed to tell him that she was about to die before he could tell her about separation.
The implication is that as long as he waits patiently for two years, he will be free, and there is no need for them to reconcile.
But this is also a double-edged sword, exposing his shortcomings to his opponent. If she guesses wrong, he is a villain who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. In order to use marriage to gain higher power as soon as possible, she can use this as evidence. Long live the above table to divorce her.
She had not been able to go out for seven years, and she was suffering from a serious illness. She had committed two out of the seven. Even if there was an edict from the late emperor, Long Live would have agreed to it.
Slowly putting down a chess piece, Zhen Shiniang's movements were heavier than ever.
Did she make this move right or wrong?
Once she makes a mistake, where should she go?
Brother Wen and Brother Wu are still young... She only has two years to live... With such a weak body, do you really want to take them to seek refuge with Xiao Yu... Shake your head, Xiao Yu is Shen Zhongqing's best friend. After meeting Brother Wen and Wu With his appearance, I can definitely guess their origins with his intelligence.
In the end, it was still a game of separation between mother and son!
"The backyard is too deserted, Brother Wen and Brother Wu keep clamoring to come over..." Seeing that Zhen Shiniang was surprisingly quiet, Magpie had nothing to say.
"Send that box of Wosi candies to the backyard..." Zhen Shiniang dropped another one with a snap.
Magpie looked at Qiu Ju in astonishment.
Zhen Shiniang always leads her children by example and never coaxes her with anything. Today she asked her to coax her with candy. She was obviously upset.
This has never happened before.
Qiu Ju held back her mouth and looked like she was about to cry. Magpie glared at her fiercely and signaled her to get the candy with his eyes.
"General..." After taking the candy, Qiu Ju opened the door and saw Shen Zhongqing outside the door reaching out to push the door open. She was so frightened that the Wosi candy in her hand almost fell to the ground.
Hearing Qiu Ju's cry, the magpie trembled and said, "...The general is back." He struggled down to the ground to open the door.
"...The general is back." Seeing Shen Zhongqing enter the room expressionlessly, Zhen Shiniang dropped the white pieces in her hand, clapped her hands and stood up.
The magpie had already taken the shoes.
"Tidy up and let's go out." Shen Zhongqing glanced at the Go chess set half placed on the kang.
"Where is the general taking the lady?" Magpie asked anxiously.
Without saying anything, Shen Zhongqing sat down by the kang and lowered his head to study the game Zhen Shiniang had just laid out.
The magpie wanted to ask again, but was grabbed by Zhen Shiniang, "...find out the flower back of my couple-colored scarf." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation. , monthly ticket, your support is my biggest motivation.)
ps: About Heli: Many people in the comment area are looking forward to getting together as soon as possible. I hope you won’t break the bricks after reading this chapter. Ayou and Shen have no feelings for each other. From the bottom of my heart, Ayou is looking forward to getting together as soon as possible more than anyone else.
Heli is looking for a new life. She has hands and feet, medical skills, and modern free thoughts. Needless to say, everyone knows how strong her desire for freedom is. However, this is only for her personally.
It was the best choice for her, but she had Jian Wu Jian Wen, so she had to think about her child. If she was in good health, that would be fine, and if she took her time, she would be able to raise her child as long as she was willing to endure hardships, but she was not in good health.
She only has two years to live. Let me ask, she really chose to reconcile. So what will happen to Jian Wu and Jian Wen after she dies? For her own selfish reasons, they will eventually be left on the streets to be bullied, or they will be recruited into the general army.
She was tortured and tortured by her stepmother? Although she was loyal, Magpie's current financial situation could not support them. She had to earn enough money in her lifetime to leave it to Magpie in order for her to fulfill her last wish. She sacrificed her life's happiness for her children and chose
To stay with someone you don't love, for a strong woman who has a strong desire for freedom and love, this choice is heart-piercing and heart-piercing. I hope you don't think that my family's discord is an insult to modern women.
