Chapter 154 Shen Qiang's letter

Chen Wanxin looked at Liu Xiaqing's back and fell into deep thought. She knew little about the background and personality of this person. In her past life, she only saw Liu Xiaqing in the Shen Mansion. It was Liu Xiaqing's birthday and invited Liu Xiaqing to the banquet. This person's memory in Wanxin is similar to a stranger. Wanxin feels that she knows more than this little about this person. What is it? Wanxin always feels that there is something missing in his memory, but he can't remember it for a while.

Liu's funeral ended like this. A few days later, Mr. Shen carried Jiang as the mistress of the family, and Hua Yin became the fifth concubine. However, all the mistresses of the Shen family died of giving birth, and some storms in the capital were caused by the Shen family's conscience earned too much money, which led to the mistress' death one after another. He also said that Mr. Shen's life was too tough and that his two wives were killed.

When this statement reached Mr. Shen's ear, he was angry again and stayed in bed for three days without getting up. A few days later, the Shen family came out of the shadow of Liu's death. Because of this, the second and third rooms did not mention the separation of the family, which saved Mr. Shen a lot of trouble. Chen Rufei had no sign of seeing him since that time. When Mr. Shen saw her, he thought of the loss of his family's property, and gradually no one mentioned this person again.

The weather is getting colder now. The winter in the capital is the most difficult to get. The air is humid and cold, and there are light rains sometimes. The cold wind blows, making people shivering. Wanxin has always been afraid of the cold. In winter, except for the warmest afternoons on the sun, they hide in the house with their hand warmer. The ground dragons in the house are burning hot. It can be said that Zhuyuan is the warmest courtyard of the Shen family. Today, the head of the family, Jiang, is very dissatisfied with the burning degree of Wanxin's earth dragon. Wanxin simply bought coal by himself without a penny from the Shen family. Jiang couldn't say anything.

Wanxin was still curled up in the room this day, and even the embroidery work was done a little slower. Now only Mingyue completed all the embroidery work. Wanxin held the stove and covered the thick small warm quilt. Looking at Mingyue who was busy with his head down, he asked in confusion, "Aren't you cold?"

Mingyue raised her head and smiled, "Miss, I'm not afraid of the cold."

Wan Xin flattened her mouth, and she was helpless about herself being so afraid of the cold. She just wanted this sad winter to pass as soon as possible. At this time, a little maid ran in from outside, holding a letter in her hand. Her round little face was red from the cold, and her hand holding the letter was also red. The little maid rushed to Wan Xin with anger. Wan Xin was shocked by the sudden coldness. Mingyue immediately stood up and scolded, "How many times have you been talking about you, the lady is afraid of the cold, but it's not that I don't know, I'm so close to the lady with the cold air."

The little maid playedfully and took a few steps back in an instant. Wan Xin waited for the little maid to get away a little further and immediately returned to her comfortable sitting position, "It's okay, Bai Zhi, what's the matter?"

Bai Zhi held up the letter in her hand and said with a smile, "Miss, the young master has written."

When Wan Xin heard the letter from the elder brother, he immediately jumped off the bed and quickly walked to Bai Zhi, "Is that so? Give it to me."

"Miss, she's cold." Mingyue reminded.

"It's not a problem, it's not a problem. Brother hasn't sent a letter for a long time." Wan Xin took the cool letter from Bai Zhi's hand.

Bai Zhi blinked at Mingyue proudly, and Mingyue sat back helplessly to continue her embroidery work.

"Miss, what are the eldest master saying?" Bai Zhi stretched out her head and asked curiously.

"You don't know the eldest young master, and you're illiterate, why are you asking?" Mingyue glanced at Bai Zhi and teased.

Bai Zhi immediately snorted dissatisfiedly, "Sister Mingyue, although I was illiterate before, I could write a name now. Even the lady praised me for making rapid progress."

Wan Xin was in the mood to pay attention to the fight between the two maids. Since summer was gone, Tingzhuyuan only had Mingyue, a personal maid. One day Wan Xin went out to the streets and met Bai Zhi who was selling herself to bury her father. When she saw the girl was pitiful, she gave her some money. Unexpectedly, Bai Zhi took the money and finished her father's funeral, and came to Chen Mansion to repay Wan Xin's life-saving grace. No matter how Wan Xin refused, Bai Zhi refused. Wan Xin was pitiful when she saw her, so she took her in Tingzhuyuan to do something within her ability.

Although Bai Zhi is young, she is very diligent and has great strength, even more powerful than some thin servants in the Chen Mansion. She is still a solid person. As long as anyone says that Wan Xin is not good, she will be reluctant to let go of others. I don’t know how many times she has fought with other maids because of this, but she has never suffered any loss every time. The masters of other maids also knew that they were in the wrong, so they had to swallow this and tell their maid not to provoke the brainless Bai Zhi again. Seeing Bai Zhi stupid, Wan Xin changed her elegant name to her, hoping that her behavior would be slightly restrained.

"That's great!" Wan Xin smiled happily after reading the letter, grabbed Bai Zhi's hands and pulled her around the room.

Mingyue hasn't seen Wan Xin so happy for a long time, "Why, is the eldest young master coming back?"

"No, it's because of the eldest sister-in-law!" Wan Xin said with relief. Her long-lost niece Chen Xiaoxuan and the others were finally going to meet. Thinking of Xuan'er's miserable experience in her previous life, Wan Xin had already secretly swore that as long as Xuan'er was born in this life, she would give her all her love. Now Xuan'er has been staying in the belly of her sister-in-law. She is about to come out to meet her in a few months. How could she be unhappy?

"Is that so? It's great. The eldest young master has a son. It's so favored by God." Mingyue folded her hands together and bowed to the sky.

"No, it's my daughter." Wan Xin couldn't help but correct her.

"Miss is so good at joking. Now she is still in her stomach, how can she know she is her daughter?" Bai Zhi covered her mouth and smiled.

Wan Xin was stunned and immediately reacted, "Yes, maybe it's a son. Mingyue, let's go find the eldest brother!" She must meet her elder brother. She must meet her as soon as Xuan'er was born. She couldn't wait for her elder brother and sister-in-law to come back and see her little niece again.

"What?" Mingyue and Bai Zhi exclaimed together, going to find Chen Qiang. Now Chen Qiang is far away from the border between Beiliang and Western Chu. Not to mention the danger of war, the journey is long, how can the lady go?

"I don't care. You guys start packing things now. I'll tell my father that I'm going to find my elder brother." Before he finished speaking, Wan Xin had put on the shawl and stepped out of the room.

"Miss, your warming stove." Mingyue hurriedly chased after Wan Xin, who was so rash and reckless, had never seen her before. It seemed that the lady must go to the border this time. Mingyue shook her head and pushed Bai Zhi in a daze beside her, "What are you still standing there? Just pack up your things."

"Sister Mingyue, can we really go to the border? OK, is there fun?" Bai Zhi is young and immature. When she heard that she was so happy to go out, she jumped around and went to pack her clothes.

Mingyue shook her head helplessly. She knew that no one could stop the lady's footsteps. The lady said that she had to go to the border. Even if Mr. Shen disagreed, she had a way to make him agree. It seems that the embroidery work cannot be handled on time. It is better to be able to work as much as possible.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Shen agreed to Wanxin's request very happily and gave Wanxin a lot of money, asking her not to be wronged on the way and try to live better. Wanxin did not refuse to accept all the money. It turned out that Huayin was pregnant. Mr. Shen's mind is completely on Huayin now. He wants everyone to see that he is not old and he still has a son. With the experience and lessons learned last time, Mr. Shen specially found several doctors to diagnose Huayin each, and the result was one. Huayin was indeed pregnant.

Mr. Shen couldn't stop smiling. The opposite of Mr. Shen and Hua Yin was the Jiang family. She had married in some years in the Shen Mansion, but she still gave birth to a child and a half. If Hua Yin gave birth to a son, how could a woman without children be firmly in the position of the mistress of the Shen family?

Before Wanxin set out again, she prepared generous gifts for her future niece, wearing everything she could wear and bring. There were many gifts and a wide variety. Even Mingyue advised Wanxin, thinking that it was almost the same. There were so many things that she needed a carriage to pull them off. Wanxin then stopped purchasing for Xuan'er.

On the day when Wanxin was finally packing, Jiang came to Tingzhuyuan and was stunned when he saw Wanxin, "Wanxin, where are you going?"

Wan Xin, who was packing, heard the sound and raised Chen to see that it was Jiang, "Si, legitimate mother, why are you here? Look at me in such a mess. Mingyue quickly brings a chair for legitimate mother."

Mingyue hurriedly put on a chair for Jiang to sit down, and then brought the hot ginger tea, "Madam, I drank it warmly to warm my body."

Jiang took the ginger tea and did not drink it. Instead, he looked at Wanxin with a sad face. Wanxin was stared at by Jiang. How could she not know why Jiang came? But now all her thoughts were on her way out, and she pretended that Jiang had not understood the little calculations she had made.

Seeing that Wan Xin had not spoken for a long time, Jiang sighed, "Wan Xin, when will you leave?"

Wan Xin also put down the package in his hand and found a place to sit down. "Let's leave the day after tomorrow, my mother, this ginger tea is very warm. I will spend this winter with this ginger tea, you can try it."

Jiang smiled bitterly, picked up the teacup and took a sip of ginger tea. Her eyes glanced at the package that Wanxin was packing. She saw the toy that was played with by the child. Her face changed instantly. She pointed to the toy and asked, "Wanxin, this is..."

Wan Xin picked up the rattle and shook it a few times, "It's my sister-in-law. She is now pregnant. I have prepared some gifts to bring to my future niece."

Jiang took the rattle from Wan Xin's hand, shook it weakly, sighed heavily, and said with a sad face, "Wan Xin, you are not an outsider, and now I don't go around in circles with you. I just became the mistress of the Shen family, and you also know that I have not given birth to children, and the fifth concubine has been pregnant in just a few months. I am a woman, so I have to consider it for the future."

Seeing that Jiang had already made the point, Wan Xin could only continue Jiang's words, "In Wan Xin's view, the anxiety of her mother is really unnecessary. Although Hua Yin is pregnant, even if you give birth to a child and a half of your daughter in the future, you, as the mistress of the Shen family, can go over and raise it."

Jiang still looked worried, "I'm afraid Hua Yin doesn't agree. Now that the master loves her so much, it's probably hard to follow my wishes."

Wan Xin said calmly, "Why is the legitimate mother confused now? Even if Hua Yin's child is a boy, it will be different if it is raised in your name. How could Hua Yin not understand this? And by your side, she will be better regardless of food, clothing, housing and transportation. How could the father disagree? All he wants is just a child, and whoever raises it is not important to him."

After hearing Wan Xin's words, Jiang's eyes that were originally unlucky flashed in an instant, "Wan Xin is still you right. Look at how long I have been worried about this matter, and there is no way. You opened my heart after a few words. But how long will it take for you to come back? I can't bear to part with you."

Wan Xinxin said, "You can't bear to leave me, you're just afraid that no one will give you an idea, but she still comforted Jiang, "Legitimate mother, don't worry, I will definitely come back in more than half a year. If the legitimate mother has anything important, I can send me a letter quickly. Even if Wan Xin is not in the capital, she will give advice for her legitimate mother."

After hearing Wan Xin's words, Jiang had no worries at all, but smiled, "I'll feel relieved, you are visiting your elder brother's child. Your elder brother is the eldest son of the Shen family, and his child is the master's first grandson. Come to this gold bracelet and you can get him a long-lived lock." After that, he shed his bracelet from his hand and handed it to Wan Xin.

Wan Xin didn't want it, but Jiang forced her to give it to her, "This is a gift from my grandmother, so you can accept it for him." Wan Xin just said thanks and accepted it with a smile.

After seeing off Jiang, Mingyue asked in confusion, "Miss, how could she be so generous?"

Wan Xin held the heavy bracelet and sneered, "She gave me this bracelet because she was afraid that I wouldn't give her any advice. As the saying goes, people are short. Have you never heard of it?"

"Then, Miss, why do you still accept it?"

"Why don't you accept it? Anyway, she will ask me for help when she encounters trouble, but I'm afraid I won't be able to help her for long." Wan Xin continued to pack up her things after she said that.

"Miss, are you still carrying this ring?" Bai Zhi's voice suddenly rose. Wan Xin looked back in the voice and saw Bai Zhi holding the Five Poison Ring in her hand.

Wan Xin saw the ring and remembered that there had been no news about Liu Fanchen for several days. The last letter from the two of them said that they had something to go out for a few days, but there was no reply. Wan Xin's personality did not ask him what he was going to do. Now he is leaving the capital. I don't know that when he comes back, he will not meet Liu Fanchen yet.

Shen Wanxin didn't know when he had already become familiar with the correspondence with Liu Fanchen. In the letter, the two of them said everything, and the vastness of the world was vast. But they both understood each other and avoided the topic of Yujue, just as the two had reached some kind of agreement.

Wan Xin took the ring from Bai Zhi's hand, looked at the exquisite ring, and said to Bai Zhi, "We have a long journey, so I'm more secure with you."

After saying that, he put the ring on his hands and continued to pack his luggage.

Bai Zhi was stunned when she looked at Wan Xin's appearance, and looked at Mingyue in confusion. Mingyue looked at Bai Zhi helplessly. It seemed that this girl didn't understand the lady's thoughts.

While busy Wan Xin was in a mess, her heart suddenly became confused. She suddenly remembered Liu Fanchen's voice, appearance and smile. After this person disappeared, she had no explanation. For some reason, Wan Xin became angry and stuffy, and her strength to pack her luggage became much stronger.

The movement created made Bai Zhi and Mingyue look at her inadvertently.
