Home, what a warm word.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Shen Nanbao saw the loneliness emerging from Chen Fangyan's eyes, as well as a little bit of nostalgia entangled in the loneliness.
Shen Nanbao couldn't help but feel weak. She hurriedly knelt down to Chen Fangyan and said, "Thank you very much for today."
Looking at the bright place in the dark, Chen Fangyan was extremely discerning, so Chen Fangyan could clearly see the hidden look in Shen Nanbao's eyes. He curled his lips and said with a lot of meaning in his smile, "I'm just going to show my face."
Shen Nanbao's eyes flickered, and before he could open his mouth, Xiao Yichen grabbed his wrist.
Seeing Shen Nanbao's doubts, Xiao Yichen said calmly, "Grandma is waiting anxiously for you at home."
Shen Nan Baodao knew this, and said to Chen Fangyan to come back tomorrow to thank him, and led her away with Xiao Yichen.
After walking a few feet away, I looked back at Chen Fangyan. He was still standing where he was, covered in the thick night. The faintest light reflected on his satin-like silk surface. In a trance, he saw his previous life again. He stretched out his hand. , said to her: "I didn't know what home looked like before, but I didn't know it until you came."
Shen Nanbao felt as if he had missed a step, and his heart suddenly palpitated.
Xiao Yichen seemed to notice it, and the hand holding her wrist tightened, "Don't look at him."
The tone was sour, but Shen Nanbao was not in the same mood as before.
When he turned the corner and Chen Fangyan was out of sight, Shen Nanbao stopped and looked at Xiao Yichen silently, "What did Chen Fangyan mean by that just now?"
Gongzhou is different from Gyeonggi, with lights still shining like dragons in the middle of the night. The sun has just set, and the crowds that were bustling before have suddenly disappeared, leaving only a hollow street, letting the strong wind pass by, blowing like a whistle. Passed by Shen Nanbao's ear.
This also showed Xiao Yichen's silence even more.
I don't know how much time passed before Xiao Yichen spoke: "Are you angry that such a big thing happened to me, but you didn't even show your face? In fact, I also thought, it's just Jiang Fuyin, I have met him before, It's not easy for me to meet him, so I have to ask the man surnamed Chen to go to court with you on my behalf."
After saying that, the hand holding Shen Nanbao shook, "Don't make me angry."
Shen Nanbao was shaken by him like a rattle. She couldn't bear it anymore and let go of his hand, "Be good, don't be like this..."
There was a bit of anger in the words, which made Xiao Yichen lower his voice even more, "I'm just afraid that without me today... you will feel uncomfortable and even more disappointed in me."
Admittedly, she was a little disappointed that he didn't come, but it was not once or twice that she went into battle alone. She was not weak, nor did she rely on him to the point where she had to ask him to step in for everything.
"Do you still remember what you told me before? You said you wouldn't hide it from me..."
Shen Nanbao took a breath and looked at him intently, "Are you hiding anything from me?"
In the dark night, the firelight from nowhere fell into her eyes, vividly. Xiao Yichen looked at it, her eyes darkened, but her tone became serious, "No."
Shen Nanbao just looked at him. A gust of wind blew out the candles around him, and everything around him suddenly fell into a collapse-like darkness. Even Shen Nanbao's bright eyes dimmed just now.
Although Xiao Yichen couldn't see it, he knew that she was still looking at him, like looking at a delicate vessel, from head to toe, from the inside to the outside. She had to look carefully to avoid being deceived.
Xiao Yichen's heart palpitated, and when he was about to open his mouth, he heard Shen Nanbao say softly, "As long as you didn't hide it from me. Come on, let's go home. Grandma doesn't know how to sit still at home."
With these words, a weight fell on Xiao Yichen's hand, and it was Shen Nanbao's other hand that came over.
Xiao Yichen hurriedly tightened his grip and nodded as if he was stone, "Let's go home."
On the way back, Xiao Yichen kept talking, only saying that although today's evening ceremony had been delayed, he had already planned it, and he had chosen a good day and auspicious time in the day after tomorrow to invite everyone to come and congratulate him.
Xiao Yichen always did things properly, let alone what he said. Shen Nanbao couldn't say anything else. He just stayed at home and waited for the day after tomorrow.

As for the outcome of that day's incident, I only heard Fengyue Na'er's retribution saying that Duan Fang had been imprisoned for kidnapping and selling a decent woman, and that he would either have to wait for Huo Qi to be arrested and brought to justice, or he would have to pay for his ransom.
As for the Liu family, Wang Po and Liu Yun were thrown into jail for causing trouble and provocation. Originally, Chen Fang was also in jail, but thinking that Liu Erlang was the only one in the family with a disability and a crying concubine, they were released. Went back.
"I don't know how many days I will be detained. It's best to survive your obituary, otherwise they will make trouble again. What will happen?"
Fengyue is always like this, don't worry when you should worry, worry blindly when you shouldn't worry.
But they all had good intentions, so everyone just laughed at her, "After such a thing happened, not to mention that Mr. Chen still revealed his identity, how many of them would dare to make trouble again?"
That's right. Feng Yue nodded in confusion, but then looked at Shen Nanbao, "But sister, I heard from Mr. Chen that day that he was ordered by the official to travel in a low profile... What order did the official give him? Could he be looking for you, sister?"
Shen Nanbao sat under the spring light, his originally raised lips suddenly pursed.
A small move, but meticulously caught the eyes of several people.
Fengyue Dao was just as she thought. Lu Kui was worried about the dusk ceremony the next day, but Mrs. Zhao slapped her hands on her knees and said, "It's better to pack up and leave as I said before. As for this evening ceremony, it is not done anywhere, and those who come are just people with superficial connections."
As a result, Mr. Zhao who was passing by heard what he said. He blew his beard and glared, "You are not a shallow person, many of them are my chess friends..."
Before he finished speaking, Mrs. Zhao rolled her eyes and interrupted, "Are those chess friends more important than your granddaughter? They say your arms have to be folded into the sleeves, but you really have to turn them out?"
Mr. Zhao met Shen Nanbao's eyes, and his expression that was solemn just now turned a bit sarcastic, "That's not what I meant..."
Old Mrs. Zhao didn't give him a chance to show off, "It just doesn't show her face. Well, let's just sit here and beat the gongs and drums, waiting for the officials to come to get Bao'er and make her cry. Then you just have to control who you are. It would be nice if there was an explanation for this mess of chess friends."
These words made Old Mrs. Zhao choke. The fire was retrograde and turned straight from his face into his intestines. He didn't know what to say at that moment. He just flicked his sleeves like a naughty boy letting out anger, "You cherish Bao'er, don't I cherish it?" I just don’t want to see her in such a state of disarray.”
When he raised his eyes, he saw that Mrs. Zhao was disapproving and just said, "I don't understand even if I tell you."
As a result, these words caused Bao'er, who was digging holes in the corner, to call out. The sound of "woof, woof" broke away the congestion just now. Shen Nanbao took the baby into his arms, caressing its head and stroking its head. The son said, "Look, it also has something to say."
Mrs. Zhao usually feeds it and has a deep affection for it. She glanced at it and muttered, "I don't believe it can still speak human words."
His tone was much softer than before.
Shen Nanbao took advantage of the situation and carried the baby into Mrs. Zhao's arms, "It did say that it was hungry."
Mrs. Zhao patted the baby's chubby body and said, "Every day you just eat, drink, and poop. Pigs are more diligent than you. I just fed you a bowl of rice, and you're hungry again."
After saying this, he hugged the baby, stood up and walked into the kitchen.
Old Mrs. Zhao was left standing there, pouting so high that he could make a fool of himself, "I'm not as important as a dog."
Shen Nanbao and Lu Kui Fengyue looked at each other and both pursed their lips and smiled.
After laughing, Shen Nanbao poured tea and asked Mrs. Zhao to sit down, "Grandpa, how long have you and my grandmother been getting along? Don't you know the heart of your grandmother's knife and mouth?"
Old Mrs. Zhao snorted and drank the tea instead of water.
It was at this time that Shen Nanbao Qingjia's voice sounded in my ears, "Grandpa, I want to ask why you think I should stay here and continue to perform obeisances."
Those words made Mr. Zhao choke and cough until his face turned red.
Shen Nanbao hurriedly stroked his chest, "Grandpa, please drink slowly..."
Old Mrs. Zhao waved his hands, and it took him a while to stop coughing, but he didn't even look at it.
Shen Nanbao said: "What you just said...what did I mean?"
Shen Nanbao just smiled, "Grandpa, you and grandma regard me as a treasure, how could you really think that those chess friends are more important than me."
These words made Mr. Zhao choke on his cough, and it took him a long time to reply with a vague voice: "They are not important, but I have been doing business all my life, and the most important thing is integrity. You have promised others but If you don't honor it, what do you mean?"
This statement was reasonable and well-founded, so Shen Nanbao stopped asking questions and just served Mr. Zhao to drink tea, chatted with him for a while, and then let him go out to find his chess friends.
Only then did Lu Kui step forward and pour a cup of tea for Shen Nanbao, "Do you think something is wrong?"
Shen Nanbao held the lamp and looked at the pair of heavy eyes reflected in the water. After a while, he shook his head and just smiled at them, "I will be in a coma the next day, so we can't make any mistakes this time."
When it comes to making friends, once they become friends, they will become familiar again, and the same goes for doing this. After the first attempt, everyone will be familiar with it the second time.
Shen Nanbao was quickly put on the sedan chair.
Shen Nanbao was sitting in a bumpy sedan chair. Outside, there was a whirling, brutal sound, whining and beating, and gongs and drums beating heart-shakingly one after another.
Shen Nanbao looked out through the small crack in the sedan window that occasionally came through during the swaying. He saw that there were people everywhere. Their faces seemed to be shocked by such huge joy, revealing an empty joy. .
Somehow, Shen Nanbao thought of the little lady from Gyeonggi and those sisters. If they were here, it would not be like this. She should feel the blessings from the heart.
But Shen Nanbao also understands that there is no such thing as both worlds. If she wants to stay with Xiao Yichen, she will have to let them go...
Thinking of this, Shen Nanbao didn't look outside anymore, and just immersed his heart in the great joy, the joy of becoming Mrs. Xiao Yichen.
