Don't be tempted, sir

Shen Changqing's Study——————

"Miss Yaojiu, does Changqing really have no solution?" Mrs. Shen asked

"Madam, Yaojiu can only do her best to delay the young master's life. As for whether she can wait for the antidote, Yaojiu doesn't know."

Old Lady Shen continued, "Then how should we cooperate with you, young lady?"

"I will make a list of food and drink in a while, and I will prepare a drink for you. You can only drink the prepared tea. Don't work too hard, and don't do anything that will make you too emotional..."

"Okay, okay, as long as you can save my son's life, we will repay you in any way you want!"

"Madam, you don't have to be so polite. You are my benefactor. Yaojiu saved you as a way of repaying my kindness."

The old lady asked, "Is this connection still there?"

Shen Changqing continued, "Grandma, Miss Yaojiu was a captive at the time, and I just did my duty. Miss Yaojiu doesn't have to repay me."

Shen Changqing was tactful. Old Madam Shen saw that Yaojiu was outstanding and only knew a little about what happened at that time, so she didn't ask any more questions and said, "It's okay, it's okay. No matter what, as long as you can save Changqing's life until the antidote arrives, you are the benefactor of our Shen family.

Shen Changqing looked at Yaojiu who seemed a little aggrieved and said: I am sorry for asking Miss Yaojiu to pretend to be my wife. Thank you for your cooperation.

"It's okay. This way I can keep an eye on you at all times. This is not a big deal in Qiang country. You don't have to worry."

Old Madam Shen said, "I am sorry to trouble Miss Yaojiu. Okay, let's go, daughter-in-law, and let Changqing rest early."

Mrs. Shen wipes tears

"It's okay, mother, please don't cry anymore."

"You... your mother is gone. If you need anything, tell her or your sister-in-law immediately."

"Okay, take care, mother, grandma."

The servant of the Zhao family said that the master was going on a long journey, Qizhu left early, and eldest brother Shen Yining also said that he had to go out on errands, and left in a hurry after dinner. The eldest sister-in-law saw him off, and the mother and grandmother also said that they had something to discuss the marriage with the second brother and went to be busy. The father was tired and went back to his room early to take a bath and rest.

How come everyone is busy except Shen Yining? Meng Qiu accompanied the restless Shen Yining for a stroll after dinner, while Shen Yining stood alone in the living room, looking at the fish in the pond.

Meng Qiu said, "Miss, I'll bring some fish food. Can you feed the fish?"

"No need, it's late, I don't think I'll eat it."

Shen Yining looked at the fish and thought about what happened at the dinner table just now. Why was his mother sad? His second brother and father had returned safely. Why was his grandmother always worried about his second brother? Could it be because he had lost weight? Why did his father say so little after returning? He used to brag about his experiences on the battlefield. He couldn't figure it out. What was going on?

The day before my second brother left, I gave him a piece of blessing paper. He clearly said that he would get engaged to me after I came of age. But now he brought back a woman, saying that we were just siblings and that his wife was Sister Yaojiu.

Why? What's wrong with everyone?

Suddenly, he stood up and decided to ask his second brother why he didn't keep his word!

As soon as Shen Yining walked into Shen Changqing's courtyard, he saw two silhouettes in front of the window. One was leaning on the table reading a book, and the other was cutting the wick of the lamp in front of the table, and then handed the freshly cut candle to the person who was reading.

Shen Yining paused! He took a few steps back and tripped. Meng Qiu hurried forward to support him.

"Miss, watch your step"

The people in the house heard the noise and asked, "Who is it? Who is in the yard..."

Shen Yining hurriedly turned around and ran, and only sat down on a stone by the roadside when he was exhausted.

Meng Qiu was also panting, but she didn't say anything to comfort her because she also saw the silhouette on the window and she knew that the young lady would not stop until she had exhausted all her strength.

After a long time, Shen Yining said, "Meng Qiu, let's go back."

For several days, Shen Yining did not leave the room.
