The night breeze was slightly cool, and Suzhou City was faintly quiet under the shroud of moonlight.The bamboo leaves in the bamboo forest rustle with the wind, accompanied by slow footsteps, drifting away from the love of reincarnation in the past.The breeze plucks the strings, but it can't play the lovesickness close by, only the night song is intoxicated, half relieved.The candlelight was flickering, and Wanniang's beautiful face became more and more clear under the wax shadow.Shen Juexin wiped away the sweat streaming from his eyes, and helped Wanniang to lie on the bed.Shen Ci came later, hugging the sleeping baby nondescriptly, and asked one more question: "Master, how should we arrange for this big one?" He is clear that this is the young master's forbidden place, even if it is him, Only tonight because of 'outsiders' to get in.Also, according to the Shen family's rules, it is not allowed to bring an unknown woman into the mansion, let alone a widow whose husband died? !

"Go and buy some rice soup and come back, go and come back quickly." Shen Juexin said something irrelevant, his eyes touched the Guqin in the corner, and his eyes showed another scene.She asked Shen Ci to put Ling'er beside Wanniang, and quietly guarded by the bed in a daze with the moonlight coming through the window.

There was a rustling sound coming from the side, which disturbed what Shen Juexin was recalling.She turned her head, and Ling'er, who had been asleep, woke up at some point, she didn't cry or make noise, she just opened her big watery eyes and waved her small fists at Shen Juexin.Seeing her looking over, her big eyes were bent into crescent moons, and she smiled very happily.As if infected by Ling'er's innocent smile, Shen Juexin involuntarily raised the corners of her lips.That smile is not as elusive as usual, or it may seem like a smile that is not a smile.It is heart-warming, like a light spring breeze, bathed in it with sunshine.

"Little guy, is he full of sleep?" Unaware of the smile on his face, Shen Juexin lightly poked Ling'er's tender little face with his index finger.Seeing the happy smiling face of the 'little guy', she hugged her very clumsily in her arms, stroked her little face with her thumb, and said, "Is it true that daughters follow mothers more? She is as cute as you, and when you grow up, you should be as beautiful as your mother. But, don't let her be cowardly, in the end it will be her own harm."

Ling'er listened quietly in her arms, as if she understood the meaning of the words completely, she clenched and opened her small hands, turned her head to Wanniang's direction, and made a sound of 'babbling'.So cute, Shen Juexin couldn't help leaving a kiss on her cheek, she admitted that she liked the innocent baby in her arms very much, it was obviously a baby who hadn't been weaned yet, but she didn't cry or make trouble like a little adult, Especially with her.

Shen Ci hastily rushed into the room with the rice soup in his hand, seeing the young master holding the baby and playing with him, he couldn't help but froze in place.He sighed, when did the young master smile so sweetly?It's a miracle, a truly amazing miracle. "Master, I bought the rice soup." Shen Ci took a step forward and handed the rice soup to her. The sweat on his back soaked his clothes. He just stood there without complaining.

"Well, you go outside to rest, I'll just come here." Shen Juexin sent Shen Ci away, put Ling'er aside, and put the warm rice soup into Wanniang's mouth little by little.The rice soup slowly flowed down the corners of Wanniang's lips and wet her neck.Shen Juexin had no choice but to take the brocade handkerchief in his sleeve, unbutton the front of his shirt, and wipe off the rice soup.

"Wan Niang?" She softly called Wan Niang, seeing that she was still awake, she had to pinch her mouth open with her hands, and poured down the rice soup little by little.Ling'er's dissatisfied "Yiya" sound came from beside her, and Shen Juexin smiled at her while holding the rice soup, and said, "Are you hungry too?" Her eyes narrowed slightly, and she carefully fed Ling'er with a spoon.Fortunately, Ling'er didn't know the taste of food and was only greedy for food and clothing, so she drank all the rice soup brought to her mouth.After she was full, Shen Juexin continued to feed Wanniang, who hadn't woken up, until Shen Ci broke in again, breaking the orderly silence around her.

"Master, it's already late, we should go back home. If we go back late, I'm afraid the master will get angry at you again." Last time the master's "family law service" frightened Shen Ci.He remembered clearly that the young master lay on the bed for several days before he could get out of bed.If the master finds out that he is returning home late at night, it is because of a widow with a baby, he is afraid that he will beat the young master severely again.

"No rush." ​​Shen Juexin put the last bit of rice soup into Wanniang's mouth, picked her up and stroked her back like a baby, so that the rice soup he drank would not stagnate in the same place and be unable to digest.She took off the bamboo chopsticks from Wanniang's head, allowing her long hair to hang down freely.It seems that the hair is a little dry!Shen Juexin pinched a small handful of long hair, glanced at Ling'er, who was entertaining herself, and said to Shen Ci: "Tomorrow you will go to Haosheng to do some shopping, and come back with some supplements and ingredients. Let some poultry be kept in the yard, and the pillows and bedding can be brought from the house. For the time being, let the mother and daughter live here."

"But young master, we are not relatives or relatives to her. I'm afraid it will cause criticism if we treat her like this."

"What is there to criticize? Could it be that Shen Ci has not heard the rumors about me in the city? He has heard it, but it has become a conclusion in the hearts of others. Why change anything? Trying to change, but there is no silver 300 taels here, it is better Just let it go and live your own life." Shen Juexin smiled, looked at Shen Ci's puzzled eyes and laughed again, and said: "Why? Shen Ci thought I would leave their mother and daughter behind. Is there a conspiracy? I don't care what other people think of me, if even my personal attendant thinks so, it's really boring!"

"Master! Shen Ci didn't, Shen Ci didn't think too much about it. It's just that Shen Ci is worthless for the young master. You are obviously not that kind of person, but they..."

"Hush." ​​Shen Juexin made a silence gesture, and said with a smile: "Don't mention it again, young master, what kind of person I am, others don't know, and I don't know either. Shen Ci, just wait outside and wait for her." When we wake up, we'll go home."

"Then... Shen Ci just listens to the young master." After finishing speaking, Shen Ci came out nonchalantly, leaving only Shen Juexin in the room with one big and one small, without saying a word or in the slightest.

The night wind infiltrated into the room through the window, Shen Juexin took off his slightly thick outer garment and put it on Wan Niang's body, fearing that she would be caught by the wind, so he hugged her tightly and never relaxed.Perhaps, Wanniang gradually woke up because of her confinement.When she found that her clothes were open, she pushed Shen Juexin away in astonishment, her face flushed like a tide, but she didn't dare to speak presumptuously, she just stared at Shen Juexin, seeing her evil smile, full of treachery and cunning.

"Huh? Wanniang is awake?" Shen Juexin asked knowingly, stood up and supported his body with both hands, wrapped Wanniang's whole body in his arms, and said with a smile: "Wanniang's body is fragrant, and I haven't had a chance to enjoy it yet. Just woke up? It's a pity."

"Mr. Shen! I, I thank you for taking pity on my mother and daughter and buying me. But Wanniang is not an unruly woman, and she will never follow Mr. Shen! My husband's body is still alive, and I want to bury him alive! Those silver coins , as if I borrowed it from Mr. Shen, and I will pay it back!" Wanniang's voice was weak and trembling, she covered her skirt with her hands and leaned back as hard as she could, fearing that Shen Juexin would do something to her.

"Hahahaha! Since you have been bought by me, you are mine! Where did you come from whether you follow or not!" The joke was almost the same, and Shen Juexin didn't intend to continue the trouble.She straightened her slightly wrinkled underwear again, corrected the color, and said, "I will bury your husband for you. There are too many people in Suzhou City who are uneasy and kind, so you and your daughter can stay here with peace of mind. Tomorrow I will bury you." I will send people to bring the bedding and ingredients. Tonight, you will just rest under my clothes. I will go back to my home. If you listen to me, you will live here; if you are afraid that I will do something wrong, then you can do whatever Go and stay. I just hope you understand how difficult it is for a woman to take care of a child. What happened tonight should be a wake-up call. Don’t let it happen again. Let’s take a rest and let’s go. The child just drank rice soup, so you can put her to sleep. "After finishing speaking, it didn't matter whether she was dressed in nondescript underwear or not, and left the bamboo courtyard with Shen Ci, leaving only Wanniang mother and daughter in the house, looking at the moonlight on the ground, not knowing whether to go or not.
