This time of separation will probably take a long time and we won't be able to see each other again.
Shen Huaizhou was very reluctant to part with him.
So he secretly visited Zhong Lingyu the night before she left.
When she sleeps, she is sweet and quiet.
The white, palm-sized face and red lips are soft and shiny, pure and attractive.
Shen Huaizhou kissed her and slowly peeled off her clothes.
He was extremely gentle, kissing her fragrant and soft skin inch by inch.
But, he had to be careful.
Her body is very tender, and with a little effort, she can leave traces.
Zhong Lingyu groaned, her eyes still closed.
She couldn't tell if it was a dream or reality.
The physical pleasure made her sink under him.
Shen Huaizhou stayed with her all night.
He left at dawn the next day.
The ambiguous atmosphere in the room has long since dissipated.
The sheets were neat and clean, as if last night's charm had never happened.
Zhong Lingyu thought that he was dreaming.
But this dream is too real.
After she got up, she asked the servant belatedly, "Last night...did the young marshal come back?"
Sister-in-law Fu remembered Shen Huaizhou's instructions and replied, "No one came."
"are you sure?"
"Well, it's my turn to be on duty tonight. I stayed on the first floor all night and didn't see the young marshal come back."
It turned out that she really was overthinking it.
Zhong Lingyu smiled helplessly.
Then she started packing her bags.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Zhong Lingyu got on the boat to Shaocheng.
In a car not far from the pier, Shen Huaizhou smoked a cigarette and stared blankly at the ship that was getting further and further away.
It wasn't until the driver reminded him that he put out his cigarette and said, "Go back."
*
Three days later, Zhong Lingyu arrived in Shaocheng.
Relying on his childhood memories, Zhong Lingyu found the old house of the Yun family.
The Yun family's old house is a very retro Chinese-style building.
It occupies a large area, but is a bit desolate.
Such a large house has been unoccupied for a long time and needs to be repaired.
Zhong Lingyu originally thought of finding a hotel to stay at first.
After the house is repaired, we can move here.
But the first second she opened the door, she was stunned.
The scene in front of her was completely different from what she had imagined.
Three or two servants were chatting and laughing in the yard while cleaning.
There is a swing set up in the courtyard.
Flowers and grass were also planted.
It's full of greenery and doesn't look like it's deserted at all.
Zhong Lingyu was puzzled and stepped forward and asked: "Are you..."
"You are..." One of the servants looked at Zhong Lingyu doubtfully for a while.
Immediately, she looked surprised and said, "Oh - this is the little lady!"
Little Miss was the name given to her by the servants of the old Yun family.
"That..." Zhong Lingyu looked confused.
The servant said: "Little miss, I am Mrs. Wang. You don't recognize me. I hugged you when you were a child!"
It has been a long time, but Zhong Lingyu has some impressions.
When she was a child, Yun Zhai did have a sister-in-law who always took care of her.
However, my grandfather and grandmother had died long ago, and they had no sons.
It stands to reason that the building would have been empty a long time ago, so why...
Zhong Lingyu was puzzled, "My grandfather and grandmother passed away a long time ago, and this house was not sold to anyone else. You work here...does anyone pay you wages?"
Sister-in-law Wang took Zhong Lingyu's hand and said affectionately: "My mother worked as a maid in Yunzhai in her early years. I am considered a son of the family. After I got married, I also lived in Shaocheng. In the early years, the master and his wife were kind to me. We all When I have children, I will come back and clean whenever I have time.”
I see.
Zhong Lingyu was very moved, "You are serious."
"Is the little lady coming back to live?" Mrs. Wang asked enthusiastically.
"Oh, yes, I will live here in the future."
"Oh, this house is going to be really lively from now on."
Sister-in-law Wang clapped her hands and smiled with wrinkles all over her face.
Then, she called a few servants and went out to do shopping, saying that she was going to make a big meal tonight.
Zhong Lingyu was still confused from the moment he walked in until now.
She was pushed in by Wang Ma.
The room is still the same as it was when I was a child, with a carved canopy bed, a primitive pear wood dresser and a wardrobe.
Clean and bright.
Zhong Lingyu even doubted whether someone had always lived in this house.
There are all the servants, the room is clean and tidy, and not a single weed can be seen in the yard.
All I can say is that these servants are quite loyal.
He actually stayed in this house for so many years.
Many of Yunzhai's valuable antique calligraphy and paintings are still there.
How strange.
In the evening, Yunzhai was bustling with activity.
The servants cooked a lot of food and filled the whole table.
Big fish, meat, fruits and vegetables are all available.
Zhong Lingyu was even more confused, "These ingredients seem to be quite expensive, what are you..."
Sister-in-law Wang clapped her hands and laughed, "Now that the young lady is back, we servants have raised some money to buy groceries, so we need to celebrate."
The servants at Yunzhai are not only loyal, but also generous.
Not only did he keep the house for his deceased employer for so many years, he also did not covet the precious items in the house, and he even spent his own money to cook for his employer.
Zhong Lingyu always felt that something was wrong, but she was still quite touched.
She invited everyone to eat together.
The servants were not polite either.
During the dinner, Mrs. Wang introduced Zhong Lingyu one by one.
Zhong Lingyu could roughly determine from his vague memories that most of the servants had stayed in Yun Mansion before.
As for which children were born in the family and which ones were not, she didn't know, and she didn't have the nerve to ask.
There was also a strange-looking girl among them. She was a girl in her mid-twenties with thick limbs. She had a serious expression and a particularly straight posture.
He seems a little out of place with these enthusiastic and simple servants.
Zhong Lingyu asked Mrs. Wang, "This girl is..."
Sister-in-law Wang was stunned for a moment, then she said with a smile: "The young lady doesn't recognize her. Her name is Xiao Wu, and she is the child adopted by my husband and I."
"That's it." Zhong Lingyu looked at Xiao Wu while eating.
Xiao Wu faced her with a stiff smile, "Ling... If you have any orders from now on, young lady, just tell me."
"Okay, thank you."
A meal that ended in hilarity.
In Zhong Lingyu's mind, he was thinking about the girl named Xiao Wu.
This Xiao Wu is quite strange, but I can’t say what’s so strange about him.
With his mind full of questions, Zhong Lingyu locked the doors and windows and slowly fell asleep.
After the lights in her room went out, Mrs. Wang and Xiao Wu walked through the night and arrived at the gate of Yunzhai.
At the door, stood a familiar figure.
Xiao Wu stepped forward and shouted: "Adjutant Li!"
Adjutant Li yawned, glanced inside, and whispered, "Miss Lingyu is not suspicious, right?"
"There is no suspicion at the moment." Xiao Wu replied, "Sister-in-law Wang and these servants are all old servants of the Yun family. Miss Lingyu believes our story."
Adjutant Li nodded, "Remember, don't let those bad people, especially men, get close to Miss Lingyu."
"Yes." Xiao Wu performed a standard military salute.
Then, Adjutant Li told Mrs. Wang, "Please take good care of Miss Lingyu. If you do a good job, the salary will be more, not less."
Sister-in-law Wang had a gentle look on her face, "We all grew up in the Yun family. The Yun family is also kind to us, and we are happy to come back to take care of the little lady. If you are not paid, you can pay the normal price."
After Adjutant Li finished his instructions, he walked around the yard twice more and saw that everything was well arranged. He returned to Yuncheng that night and reported Zhong Lingyu's situation to Shen Huaizhou.
