Go to Qingqiu together

The moment Shen Xubai found out about him, Xu Qingjian turned around and ran away without hesitation, if he reacted a second later, he might be caught by Shen Xubai who was chasing him out.

Xu Qingjian escaped quickly, but was held down by Shen Xubai when he ran out of the courtyard.

The moment he was pushed against the fence, Xu Qingjian almost instinctively stretched out his hand to cover his face with his sleeve.

Seeing Xu Qingjian make this action, Shen Xubai couldn't help frowning.

Did he think he was going to hit him?

"What are you doing with your face covered? If I want to hit you, do you think it will be useful?" Shen Xubai said coldly.

Saying that, Shen Xubai grabbed Xu Qingjian's wrist and wanted to tear his hand away.

Xu Qingjian resisted vigorously: "Didn't you say you don't want to see me again?"

That's why he blocked his face the first time he was caught by Shen Xubai. He didn't want to be strangled to death by Shen Xubai.

Hearing Xu Qingjian's words, Shen Xubai was stunned for a moment, and then pulled Xu Qingjian's hand away even more forcefully.

Xu Qingjian was really no match for Shen Xubai's strength, and he finally pulled his hand away, so he was forced to look at Shen Xubai.

"Since I said don't let me see you again, did you sneak in to seek death?" Shen Xubai asked.

Xu Qingjian raised her eyes to look at Shen Xubai, opened her mouth, and wanted to say something, but couldn't say a word, so she could only look at Shen Xubai in a daze.

Three days ago, perhaps because of the light, he hadn't looked at Shen Xubai carefully, and now he realized that Shen Xubai didn't seem to have changed much compared to three years ago, but he seemed much tired.

Seeing Xu Qingjian just looking at him without speaking, Shen Xubai felt a little annoyed.

"Why, I haven't seen you for three years and you just became dumb and can't speak anymore?" Shen Xubai grabbed Xu Qingjian's chin and said in a cold voice.

Xu Qingjian was startled, and quickly said, "I'll take Niannian back."

"Why?" Shen Xubai asked.

Xu Qingjian didn't expect Shen Xubai to ask such a question at all, and couldn't help being stunned for a moment.

"Don't come in over the wall again, let me leave now, you know how much I don't want to see you again." Shen Xubai said again.

"But..." Xu Qingjian said hastily.

After only two words, Xu Qingjian's remaining words were blocked by Shen Xubai's cold eyes.

After a while, Xu Qingjian said with trembling lips: "Nian Nian can't do without me, I have to take him away."

"I cured his illness." Shen Xubai looked at Xu Qingjian indifferently.

Xu Qingjian opened his mouth, but was speechless again.

"You can go." Shen Xubai pushed Xu Qingjian: "You'd better take my words seriously, and next time you appear in front of me, I will never let you go."

Xu Qingjian staggered for a while being pushed by Shen Xubai, and then managed to stand still.

He stood still at the same place at first, and then moved out after a while, while Shen Xubai stood there with a blank expression and watched him leave.

Xu Qingjian walked a few steps, then suddenly turned around at lightning speed, rushed past Shen Xubai, and went straight into the courtyard.

But within a few steps, Xu Qingjian was caught by Shen Xubai again.

Shen Xubai grabbed Xu Qingjian's wrist with one hand, pressed his shoulder with the other hand, and cut his arm behind him, Xu Qingjian grunted in pain and was forced to stop.

"Are you just not paying attention to this king's words?" Shen Xubai said angrily.

Xu Qingjian lowered his head, his voice trembling: "I just look at him, just look at him, really..."

Hearing Xu Qingjian's trembling voice, a trace of hesitation flashed in Shen Xu's white eyes, and finally he let go of his hand slowly.

As soon as Xu Qingjian got out of the shackles, he immediately ran inside rubbing his shoulders.

Pushing open the door, I saw Shen Nian obediently sitting by the bed, with two little hands on his knees, his eyes full of anxiety.

"Nian Nian!" Xu Qingjian called out Shen Nian's name.

Seeing that it was Xu Qingjian who came, Shen Nian's eyes widened instantly, and she looked at him in surprise: "Daddy...Daddy, you are finally here!"

Xu Qingjian stepped forward, knelt down in front of Shen Nian, stretched out his hands to hold his face and looked at it for a while, then kissed him on the cheek again.

"How do you feel now? Are you still uncomfortable?" Xu Qingjian asked softly.

Shen Nian shook her head obediently: "Nian Nian's illness has been cured, so I don't feel uncomfortable anymore."

Xu Qingjian smiled, stood up and hugged Shen Nian, letting him sit in his arms.

"Are you scared these days?" Xu Qingjian asked softly.

Shen Nian put his arms around Xu Qingjian's neck, thought for a while before replying: "I was a little scared before, but I wasn't that scared... It's just that Uncle Shen is too fierce, although he is quite good to Nian Nian."

"Did he kill you?" Xu Qingjian was taken aback for a moment.

Nian Nian shook her head.

"Then why do you say he is fierce?"

"I don't know." Shen Nian shook his head again: "It's just... I'm afraid of him."

"Don't be afraid, Uncle Shen is a very nice person." Xu Qingjian said with a smile.

Just at this time, Shen Xubai walked to the door, just in time to hear Xu Qingjian's three words Uncle Shen.

He stood at the door without saying a word, looking at Xu Qingjian with an unhappy expression.

Xu Qingjian also saw Shen Xubai, and immediately felt guilty.

"The poison in his body has not been completely eliminated, and it will take a month for a complete cure, so you can't take him away." Shen Xubai said to Xu Qingjian.

"Then, after a month, can I pick him up?" Xu Qingjian asked tentatively.

"His surname is Shen." Shen Xubai said concisely.

Xu Qingjian pursed her lips, tightened her arms holding Shen Nian, and looked at Shen Xubai warily.

His small movements did not escape Shen Xubai's eyes, a little mockery flashed in Shen Xubai's eyes, and then he walked up to Xu Qingjian.

"My lord, you..." Xu Qingjian wanted to say something.

Before he finished speaking, Shen Xubai reached out and took Shen Nian away from his arms.

Xu Qingjian did not expect that Shen Xubai came here to take Shen Nian away, so he was not prepared at all, and Shen Nian was easily carried away by Shen Xubai.

"After reading it, you can get out." Shen Xubai said to Xu Qingjian in a cold voice.

"Daddy... Daddy don't go away..." Shen Nian struggled in Shen Xubai's arms.

Shen Xubai hugged Shen Nian a little tighter, and warned Xu Qingjian to leave quickly with his eyes.

"Daddy..." Shen Nian probably sensed that the atmosphere was not right, he struggled harder, and even his voice became weeping.

"Don't cry." Shen Xubai said to Shen Nian aloud.

Shen Nian was startled by Shen Xubai and cried even louder.

"Don't cry, don't cry, Nian Nian is good." Xu Qingjian hurriedly stepped forward to stroke Shen Nian's head: "Daddy will come to see you in a few days."

Because Shen Nian is held in Shen Xubai's arms, Xu Qingjian is very close to Shen Xubai at this moment, almost clinging to his body.

Shen Xubai looked down at him, but said nothing.

"But... Nian Nian doesn't want to be alone..." Shen Nian said with a sob.

"You are not alone, everyone will accompany you. Daddy is very busy recently, you have to be good, okay?" Xu Qingjian comforted in a panic.

Saying that, Xu Qingjian stretched out his hand to rub Shen Nian's cheek, and leaned over to kiss his face.

"Be good, Daddy will buy you candied haws then, okay?" Xu Qingjian continued.

"...Mmm." Shen Nian barely stopped crying, and kept wiping away her tears with her small hands.

Xu Qingjian hastily raised his hand to help him wipe away his tears, and coaxed Shen Nian for a long time, until he burst into tears and smiled, then he was relieved.

"Then I'll go back first, and don't bother the lord." Xu Qingjian withdrew his gaze, turned to look at Shen Xubai: "Nian Nian is very obedient, so you don't need to speak too loudly, lord, it will scare him. "

Not knowing if it was his own illusion, Shen Xubai actually felt that Xu Qingjian seemed to have glared at him when he said this.

When he came back to his senses, Xu Qingjian had already turned and left.

Shen Xubai hugged Shen Nian and stood there for quite a while before leaving the room with him in his arms.

"Uncle Shen...do you hate my father?" Shen Nian suddenly asked Shen Xubai in a low voice.

Hearing Shen Nian's question, Shen Xubai's footsteps paused, and said: "Why do you ask such a question?"

Shen Nian actually didn't know why, he could only shake his head blankly.

Shen Xubai looked at him, and sighed softly: "Actually, you can call me Daddy, I shouldn't have called you that way before, sorry."

After he said this, Shen Nian's body shrank subconsciously, perhaps because he thought of the previous things and started to be afraid again.

"Don't you want to call me that?" Shen Xubai asked.

Shen Nian nodded cautiously: "Because... I already have a father."

"Then you can call me father." Shen Xubai said again.

"Father, father..." Shen Nian obediently called.

He heard from his father that father means father, so it should be okay to call him that.

"En." Shen Xubai looked at Shen Nian, responded, and asked again: "Your father, did you teach you anything?"

Shen Nian shook her head ignorantly.

"Then what does your father usually do?" Shen Xubai walked around the mansion with Shen Nian in his arms, trying to get some information about Xu Qingjian's situation in the past few years from Shen Nian.

"Well... Daddy...he's very busy, he has to do a lot of work during the day and also at night." Shen Nian replied.

"What work?" Shen Xubai asked again.

"It's just to help others carry heavy things. If we don't move them, my father and I won't be able to eat." Shen Nian's voice was very soft, as if he felt sorry for Xu Qingjian.

Listening to his words, Shen Xubai fell silent, seeing that he didn't speak anymore.

In fact, it was very easy for him to know the news of Xu Qingjian in the past three years, but he just couldn't swallow that breath, and would rather be tortured day and night than send someone to inquire about Xu Qingjian's whereabouts.

As if he was angry with himself, he stubbornly didn't want to hear any news related to Xu Qingjian, and he didn't allow the people around him to mention a word.

But he didn't expect that Xu Qingjian was already pregnant when he left.

For the past three years, it must have been difficult for him to live alone with Shen Nian.

The crown prince was very powerful back then, even if he was later overthrown, there were still many old ministries left behind. The emperor has been finding out all kinds of old prince minions hidden in the dark for three years and executed them until recently.

Xu Qingjian was quick in reaching out, and had killed many people for the prince, and he was the one who was the most popular around the prince. At that time, Xu Qingjian must have been hiding every day in order to survive.

Shen Xubai probably imagined how difficult Xu Qingjian's life must be.
