For a long time after the funeral, the entire Shen family estate sank into gloom.
No one had thought that the old lady hated this new young mistress so much in her previous life, yet after her death, she had left this manor worth millions to her.
The old servants who had worked in the manor for many years and had given the old lady orders to be harsh on the new mistress all felt threatened. They went to the housekeeper to collect their wages so that they could leave.
Song Zhaoyang, who had injured Bai Qing, felt even more guilty. Even though the new young mistress had not said anything, he still felt uneasy.
However, there was nothing he could do about it. Although he had the ability, he had burned half of his face in an accident.
If he left Shen Zhuang, he knew that there would be nowhere for him to go with his appearance.
Bai Qing took a long time to accept the fact that such a valuable manor belonged to her.
My grandparents' dying wish had always been for them to return to the garden and live together.
So she moved back, and if Grandpa and Grandmother saw her in the sky, they would also be pleased.
With regards to the manor's servants leaving and leaving, the security guards arranged for Huo Yun Chen to leave without her interfering. She only asked Liu Yun to help from the side.
This Liu Yun had a ten-thousand-year, iceberg face, and a cold, unapproachable appearance.
Even though he was by Bai Qing's side, he had never said a word. He didn't agree with any of her decisions.
Bai Qingqing was kind-hearted. When they left, she gave them ten times the salary to retire.
As for Song Zhaoyang, he did not have any harsh words. Instead, he had entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.
This made Song Zhaoyang deeply grateful, and this was in return for his loyalty.
The manor was as magnificent as ever. It had gone from gloomy and depressed to lively and warm.
Huo Yunchen had finished his day's work, so he could always smell the fragrance of food on the way home.
His wife's blissful smile, and the joy of flying into his arms like a bird, as if the tiredness of a busy day at that moment all disappeared.
"Hubby, did I do well? Hurry up and praise me."
In the evening, she would put her arm around his shoulders and look at the stars on the garden bench, then beg for his praise in a flirtatious manner.
Huo YunChen was naturally satisfied. No matter what she did, he would only be happy when she was happy.
He didn't care what the result was, he just wanted her to enjoy the process.
"Hmm, not bad. It's quite the manner of a hostess of the Huo family."
He kissed her lightly on the lips, his voice soft with approval.
Being praised by her husband was also the happiest and most satisfying thing in the world.
Bai gently turned around and sat beside him, resting its head on his thigh.
Looking up at the starry sky, he muttered to himself, "Hubby, you said the deity in the sky was protecting me, and that's why I found such a good husband?"
Huo Yun Chen caressed her hair and smiled faintly. He said gently, "It should be Yue Lao, right? Isn't he the one who gets involved in this?"
Bai Qing stared at his face with a serious expression. Suddenly, she was enlightened. "That's right, why didn't I think of that?"
Huo YunChen smiled mischievously, "Then, should I be rewarded?"
"Reward. I definitely have to try it. I'll go to White Cloud Temple tomorrow and give Yue Lao some incense."
Bai Qing raised her hand and caressed his handsome chin as she spoke with an excited expression.
"In passing, I would like to ask Empress Guanyin to send me a daughter."
"Alright, I'll go with you."
"Really, if you want to go with me, you can't go back on your word."
Bai Qing immediately extended her finger to pull the hook, and Huo Yun Chen gladly pulled the hook with her.
There had been too many things happening recently. The company, his grandparents, as well as the illegitimate child surnamed Gu who came over from time to time to stir things up, he had to put in all his efforts every day.
He would leave early and return late, but luckily, she was by his side every night. He didn't complain or complain, he was gentle and considerate, and he was willing to bear all these hardships for her and his child.
Not far away, Liu Kai and Liu Yun were sitting together with their backs facing the moonlight in silence.
Liu Kai and Liu Yun were both orphans who had been adopted and trained by the Huo Family since they were young. Naturally, they had to pay the Huo Family back when they grew up.
They grew up together with Huo Yunchen, trained together, suffered together, sweated together, and bled together.
To them, Huo Yunchen was both an employer and a relative.
Fortunately, Huo Yun Chen's personality was cold since he was young, so both of them had a cold personality and did not like to talk.
Ever since Liu Kai had come to the capital with Huo Yunchen, he had changed a lot when he met Liu Runan. Sometimes, he was even willing to speak a few words now and then.
"Liu Yun, did you see that? The young master is currently very blessed. It has been so many years since we last met, and it is time for the young master to have a woman to accompany him so that he can stop and rest and enjoy his life. "
Liu Kai said without saying a word while playing with the grass.
Liu Yun was fiddling with the grass, but he didn't say a word.
Liu Kai knew what she was thinking in her heart. There was always a person hidden in her heart, and that person was the Young Master.
However, she also knew that her identity would not have any ending with her young master, so she didn't have any improper thoughts and continued to secretly blame herself.
"Liu Yun, there are some good people and some bad things that need to be put down. Don't keep it in your heart and it will be hard to bear."
Seeing her in pain, he felt the same.
After all, having grown up together, they were as close as siblings.
"Put it down? "Why should I let go? If I let go, my heart will be empty. What's the point in living?"
Liu Yun turned his head and looked at Ye Zichen with a faint smile.
"Liu Yun, actually, your conditions are very good. You can always find one …"
"Liu Kai, I'm not you, I can't do it."
After saying that, he got up and left decisively. Under the moonlight, his extended back gave off a lonely and dignified feeling.
Liu Kai shook his head helplessly. He picked up a rock and threw it fiercely towards the distance in the dark night.
It suddenly started to rain, beads of rain the size of beans falling on their bodies.
In a flurry, Liu Kai rushed to retrieve the umbrella. Liu Yun had already raised the umbrella above the Young Master and Young Mistress.
"Liu Yun, you're really quick."
Bai Qingqing never hid her praise for Liu Yun, even though she usually got a cold smile.
Huo Yun Chen looked at Liu Yun with a hint of approval in his eyes. "Take good care of this young mistress."
Liu Yun nodded in agreement. The huge umbrella struck their heads, but the rain fell on her head.
"Hubby, let's go back. Liu Yun is already wet."
"Alright …"
Huo Yun Chen held Bai Qing's hand and walked very slowly, but the road was slippery and Bai Qing almost fell a few times.
Finally, he squatted down and said, "Come up, I'll carry you."
"Back?" "No need, I myself --"
"Hurry up, otherwise you'll catch a cold from the rain."
Bai Qing gently blushed. Even though she was a husband and wife, she would still feel embarrassed in front of outsiders.
"Hurry up — or else let me, Liu Kai, carry you."
"No, no."
Bai Qingqing immediately climbed up and placed her head on his shoulder while covering his neck. She looked like a little bird that was about to fall in love with a human.
In front of him, she was becoming more and more like a child every day. Was this what all the women who were loved were like, or was it just her that was almost unrecognizable to him?
