The tall trees in the courtyard are luxuriant, green and shady, and the sparrows on the branches are creaking. The old gardener is squatting down and carefully pruning.
Shen Wenwen takes off her hat and makes a detour behind him to avoid being found. At the end of ten days, when the Marquis's house in Dingyuan conventionally cleans up, the attendants usually try to make it convenient and don't close the door tightly. However, Shen Wenwen doesn't expect to meet a servant girl who is sneaking around at her door carrying a box.
"What are you doing?" Shen Wenwen said and grabbed the package in her hand. She bowed her head and happened to see a picture album.
It's the one Shen Wenwen lacks, which is given by the ninth Lord, but it's collected with the other things she lost these days.
"Why steal them?"
Shen Wenwen asked in surprise. She turned to open the boxes at the door and found that they were all her own.
What's going on?
In a hurry, he went to the hall. Along the way, the murals on the corridor were as old as before, but as long as they were related to himself or cherished by himself, they disappeared.
Among them are the five sets of porcelain left by her biological mother Aunt Li in her dowry on the elevated hall, which she has been taking care of all the time. Shen Wenwen's nervousness also peaked with her anger after she found out this.
"Where's my China?"
Shen Wenwen turns around abruptly, can't suppress her anger and roars at the crowd behind her, which makes the people on the scene shrink their necks at a loss. Several of them kneel down directly. Only the old gardener with a bent back doesn't speak, but her eyes are clearer than those on the scene.
He leans on crutches and finally shows signs of loosening. Maybe he can't bear to see Shen Wenwen's eyes turning red like a headless fly. He takes a deep breath and says, "the master just brought a man into the mansion. He saw him passing by and sent someone to the north side of the city."
Shen Wenwen's head suddenly exploded.
North of the city, who else can there be in north of the city!
Originally Shen Wenwen thought it was Wen jinniang who took it, but she didn't expect it would be him.
……
As soon as we arrived, the sky was already half red, the clouds were blown far away by the warm wind, and the outline of the full moon could be seen.
Shen Wenwen ordered people to drive all the way to the north of the city. The bright lights gradually faded and the road was winding. She got out of the carriage, closed the door and looked up at the busiest street in the area. Where she could see, Tianjie was covered in black robes.
Shen Wenwen stares at his generous back. However, this time, Shen Wenwen's sudden visit without notice seems to be well prepared whenever she sees him standing in front of her.
"Li Chengan."
This time, Shen Wenwen solemnly called out his name.
This is her mother's family, Aunt Li's only elder brother's son and her cousin.
But in all these years, she never really called him by his first name.
The air is not cool, cold down only Shen Wenwen's eyes, suddenly there is a little regret, regret that he unknowingly walked too close to him.
He knows Shen Wenwen like the palm of his hand, Shen Wenwen knows nothing about him.
Since when, the inequality between them has become such an uncontrollable situation that Shen Wenwen can't calm down the moment she sees his face.
When I came here, I had thought about the cause and effect for a long time. As a matter of principle, I should have known the truth and turned around and left, but I couldn't bear to tie my hands and feet.
But when he really stood in front of Shen Wenwen, it seemed that all the complaints he made were choked in his throat, as if he had lost his speech ability. He opened his mouth but stopped his voice.
Sure enough, I shouldn't have come.
Shen Wenwen, who closed her eyes and took a deep breath, turned around in embarrassment, only to see his clear look standing on a high place, and what else she didn't understand.
But Shen Wenwen just took two steps, a warm and dry hand seized the opportunity to seize himself, "Li Chengan, if you are sent by Wen jinniang to persuade me to give up, then I also advise you to go back."
They have done this simple action for each other countless times. At this moment, Li Chengan catches Shen Wenwen, but it can only help the flame of depression spread into a raging fire.
Under the fury, Shen Wenwen tries hard to get rid of it.
"Li Chengan, who gave you some ecstasy, even you are eager to take me away."
Shen Wenwen said, tears rustle fall, originally forced up, the momentum of the words because with a little cry and gradually evolved into a grievance.
Li Chengan knew that his aunt's life was hard, so he never forced Shen Wenwen.
He gives Shen Wenwen a choice in major and minor matters, public and private affairs, and in everything that is related to Shen Wenwen.
"You are a threat. Even if you take me away and force me by this means, you can't stop my grudge with the Dingyuan Marquis! My mother was killed and I have to make them pay for it
Knowing that these things are of great significance to Shen Wenwen, she takes them away as a bargaining chip. This is coercion. Shen Wenwen never thought Li Chengan would appear in front of her.
Shen Wenwen's tearful eyes were dancing. Her two words just now were full of words. She was warm-blooded and gradually calmed down, leaving her tired and tired, but her head was more sober than ever.
Since receiving a letter, Li Cheng'an rushed to Shen Wenwen. At the moment, his eyes were pale, not happy or angry. He just held his hand more tightly until Shen Wenwen frowned and breathed.
Shen Wenwen dropped her eyes and saw that his knuckles were white. For the first time, she felt that this man's back was so desolate and lonely.
Li Cheng'an tugged at her hand. Maybe he was still angry at Shen Wenwen's resistance. His action was no longer as gentle as it used to be. With a little bit of force, he looked back at Shen Wenwen and said, "I have to take you away. I know you can't stand my aunt's death, but this is not what she wants to see!"
"What do you want! Why do you both stop me! "
Li Chengan didn't say anything more, but directly took Shen Wenwen to his carriage.
He didn't expect to get another letter from his old friend Liang Yun. It was because his cousin, who had been in charge of the Li family for a while, took Shen Wenwen back to his house and asked, "are you calmer now?"
Li Chengan fell out with the Li family and went to Beijing alone. For many years, he was only a small official in the list. He wanted to congratulate Liang Yun on his important position and had a bright future in the future. He didn't want to hit the muzzle of the gun.
Shen Wenwen looked at several sets of porcelain left by Aunt Li that she didn't want to care about in the mansion.
That's right. Since you want to take away your chips, it's even more impossible to put them at Shen Wenwen's fingertips.
"There's something else I can't calm down about." Shen Wenwen rubbed her dry eyes, "I won't go with you. No matter Liang Yun, Wen jinniang or Dingyuan Hou contact you, if I go with you, the result will be the same."
