After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

The candle on the coffee table jumped a little.

Facing Aunt Gui's somewhat thoughtful inquiry, Shen Ruoyan immediately pretended to be innocent, pouted and said:

"Aunt Gui, to tell you the truth, I was extremely scared at the time.

At this age, Ayan saw a live big tiger for the first time. She felt nervous and curious. She thought that if she stood farther away, she would not be in danger, so she secretly hid aside and watched the battle.

When I saw the guards killing the tiger, I got bold and wanted to take a closer look. Unexpectedly, the tiger was not completely dead yet and almost hurt me. Now that I think about it, my legs are still weak. . "

Shen Ruoyan patted her chest as she spoke, her tone of excitement mixed with a bit of fear, as if she had lingering fears, and she made up a more reasonable reason for going back even though she had already left.

After hearing this, Mrs. Shen smiled and blamed:

"This girl has been spoiled by me. She dares to do anything. You see, Mr. Lu was hurt because of you. You must repay her well in the future."

Aunt Gui listened and helped:

"Miss Shen and Mr. Lu haven't gotten married yet, and Mr. Lu is protecting Miss Shen like this. If they get married in the future, the relationship between the young couple will definitely be better."

When Mrs. Shen mentioned Lu Yan, her heart felt sweet and she responded with a smile:

"That's thanks to Grandma Gui for her good wishes."

Seeing them singing and teasing each other, Shen Ruoyan coyly said:

"Mother, Aunt Gui!"

After saying that, he lowered his head shyly and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he didn't tell his mother about his guess, otherwise she would not behave so naturally now.

It seems that Aunt Gui believes a little bit of the reason she made up.

After teasing Shen Ruoyan, Nanny Gui took out another wooden box, placed it in front of Mrs. Shen, and said:

"What happened today has frightened the madam. My Majesty asked me to bring these to you to calm down your shock. Madam Shen and Miss Shen must not dislike them."

Mrs. Shen quickly pushed the wooden box back and declined:

"This incident was an accident. The noble concubine is so considerate and invites you to come and visit me. I am already flattered, how can I still accept the gift?"

Aunt Gui pushed the box over again and said:

"Mrs. Shen, you're welcome. There are just some gadgets here. Originally, I came here for autumn hunting this time, so I didn't bring many things. The imperial concubine said that she would make up for it after she returns to Beijing."

"Oh, my dear concubine, this is really embarrassing for us mother and daughter."

"If you don't accept it, I won't be able to go back."

After some pulling and pulling, Mrs. Shen finally accepted the box of things that Aunt Gui brought.

Aunt Gui completed her task, stood up with a smile and said goodbye:

"Then I'll take my leave first and won't disturb you two's rest."

"Mother Gui, please go."

Mrs. Shen and her daughter personally walked Nanny Gui to the door. Before leaving, she did not forget to say politely:

"Auntie Gui, please make a special trip and say hello to the imperial concubine for us when you return."

Aunt Gui returned the gift and said:

"Mrs. Shen, you're welcome. Go back and rest quickly. Your legs need to be taken care of."

After some polite remarks, I finally sent Aunt Gui off.

Shen Ruoyan breathed a long sigh of relief, and the stone in her heart fell.

A long day is finally over.

Mrs. Shen said to her daughter:

"Ayan must be exhausted from the day. Go back and rest quickly."

Shen Ruoyan responded, holding her mother's hand and walking her to the door of the room, "Mother, go to bed early."

Back in her room, Shen Ruoyan was exhausted both physically and mentally. She tidied up casually and blew out the candles.

Lying on the bed, Shen Ruoyan's mind was in chaos.

Tigers, sachets, imperial concubines, many things kept spinning in my mind, but I couldn't figure it out.

Shen Ruoyan tried hard to recall what happened in her previous life, trying to find some clues.

Unfortunately, at this time in her last life, her reputation was ruined. She had been hiding at home and not hearing what was going on outside the window, so she missed many details. She only roughly remembered that due to the tragic death of Mrs. Li, Mr. Li, who was deeply in love with her as husband and wife, was extremely sad and his body was broken. Things never got better, and soon he made a request to the Holy One to resign.

Master Li held the position of Privy Councilor in the court and was in charge of military and political power, ranging from the formulation of relevant government orders such as military defense, border preparations, and military affairs, to minor matters such as recruitment, review, and relocation. These were all Master Li's responsibilities.

For this loyal minister who held an important position, the Holy Emperor tried several times to persuade him to stay.

However, Mr. Li stayed in the capital, seeing things and missing people every day. He was exhausted mentally and physically, and his body became weaker day by day. In the end, he could not even go to the morning court.

Only then did the Holy Spirit have to let him go.

If the imperial concubine was really behind this incident, then what was her purpose in driving an important court official out of the capital?

And this time, my mother also had a sachet on her body.

In addition to his mother, his father also has an aunt, and their relationship is not as deep as that of the Li family and his wife.

If my mother died in this accident, my father would definitely not be so sad as Master Li that he resigned.

So what are the benefits of the imperial concubine attacking her mother?

There were thousands of thoughts in Shen Ruoyan's mind, but she couldn't think of a reason. Her temples were beating suddenly. She was obviously extremely tired but couldn't sleep at all. She turned over a few times on the bed and couldn't find a comfortable position. .

Drowsily, Shen Ruoyan smelled a faint fragrance, and suddenly relaxed and fell into a deep sleep.

Under the clear moonlight, a tall figure stood quietly in front of Shen Ruoyan's room door.

He leaned against the wooden door and listened for a while. He didn't put down the bamboo tube in his hand until there was no more rolling sound coming from inside.

Putting away the bamboo tube containing the soothing incense, the man raised his head, and the moonlight sprinkled on his face, adding a layer of silver-white brilliance to that handsome face, a bit sharp and a bit gentle.

A group of patrolling soldiers passed by outside the wall. If there was no obstruction by the wall, they would be surprised to find that the man standing outside the door of Miss Shen's room in the middle of the night was actually the seriously injured Mr. Lu.

Listening to the even and long breathing coming from the room, Lu Yan had a faint smile on his lips.

He leaned against Shen Ruoyan's door, as if he was recalling something extremely interesting.

It wasn't until a glimmer of light appeared in the east that Lu Yan moved, jumped over the wall a few times, and returned to his courtyard without anyone noticing.

"Young Master, you are back." As soon as Lu Yan stepped into the room, a dark shadow immediately followed him, "Just let us guard Miss Shen, why do you have to go in person?"

Wei Xu is the secret guard following Lu Yan.

Since arriving at Qingyang Hunting Ground, the young master has gone to Miss Shen's yard every night and stayed there all night.
