The days of waiting seem to pass very slowly, but this kind of waiting makes people no longer anxious and unbearable. Because she knew the answer was certain and the only one, Sang Nianyue only had the longing for recognition in her heart, and all other eagerness disappeared.
Her heart slowly calmed down, and it was also because she had time to do other things.
She would ask people to go to the streets to find out the details of the Japanese invasion and the specific progress of the generals' fight against the Japanese.
But Xu was still left with some sequelae after being frightened last time. Sang Nianyue sent people out to inquire about the news, and she would not let Su Wen and several maids go out. She only sent servants from the mansion.
After escaping from the Japanese pirates, Sang Nianyue was the most frightened, but the wounds on her body were the smallest. The same was true for Su Jin. Her legs and feet were only scratched by bamboo strips. Although she shed a lot of blood, she was fine after two days of training.
The most seriously injured were actually Suwen and Suying. Both maids had stab wounds and puncture wounds of varying depths. If they didn't recuperate for three to five months, they would be in trouble. This is because the weapons used by the Japanese pirates are special, and the wounds caused by their bayonets usually heal quickly. In addition, it is a hot day today, and there is a risk of rotting when the wounds are wrapped with gauze all day long. Therefore, after the wound has been sewn and medicated, gauze will not be wrapped as long as it no longer bleeds. This is naturally beneficial to wound recovery, but people's movements are restricted. Otherwise, if you move too much, the bandaged wound will collapse again.
Suwen and Suying were forced to rest in the room by Sang Nianyue.
This disaster allowed Sang Nianyue to find her biological brother among thousands of people, so she did not take it seriously after experiencing the ups and downs of life and death. However, several maids almost lost their lives, and Sang Nianyue felt extremely guilty about this.
Therefore, while several maids were recuperating in the room, Sang Nianyue also left all the slightly dangerous tasks to the servants.
Fortunately, these servants were all carefully selected by Uncle Li. I dare not say that everyone has a certain skill. At least it is easy to get information.
Sang Nianyue quickly learned the latest news.
It turns out that the Japanese pirates attacked this time because the previous typhoon passed over the island where the Japanese pirates were stationed. The Japanese pirates suffered heavy losses and could not even afford food, so they wanted to go ashore and plunder.
There were more than 3,000 Japanese pirates dispatched this time. However, due to the timely response of the naval generals, only more than 1,000 people finally came ashore, and the rest of the Japanese pirates were repelled while they were still at sea.
The Japanese pirates who landed were unable to follow up, and the generals in the navy led troops to intercept them. They were exhausted, but they thought they were too few and slaughtered the villages again. The latest news is that these Japanese pirates have been stuffed into dumplings, and it will only be a matter of time before they are wiped out.
In addition to the Japanese pirates landing, another major event happened in Minzhou. Just because the incident of Japanese pirates caused people to panic, few people knew about the fact that imperial envoys came to Minzhou to investigate the case.
The arrival date of the imperial envoy was also very clever. The time they arrived at Minzhou Ferry happened to be more than an hour earlier than the time when the Japanese pirates landed. It was because these imperial envoys were worried that Shen Hou would be impatient while waiting in Minzhou, so they urged the boatmen to go faster and faster all night long. After arriving at the ferry, I didn't have time to appreciate the beautiful mountains, rivers and scenery of Minzhou, but I hurriedly entered the city to meet Shen Hou.
Otherwise, if the boat moves slower or if they wait at the ferry, they will definitely be caught by the Japanese pirates. It's hard to say how many imperial envoys will be alive by then.
I have to say, this thing is really dangerous.
Think about it, if the imperial envoy died as soon as he arrived in Minzhou, how did you manage the officials in Minzhou? The Minzhou magistrate must be held responsible for this matter, but since it involved Japanese pirates, the one who was unlucky before the Minzhou magistrate must have been the Minzhou Navy.
You know, the Minzhou Navy used to say it was effective in controlling Japanese pirates, but is this how effective you are? This slap in the face shouldn't be too painful. By then, General Chang would not be able to guarantee his safety, and even the military power of the Minzhou Navy, which his ancestors had managed for a long time, would be lost in his hands.
Having said that the imperial envoy arrived in Minzhou, I also want to talk about the purpose of the imperial envoy coming.
The imperial envoy came here to examine the case, but now the case has been passed easily.
It was just that many of the people involved in the case were out fighting Japanese pirates and could not be summoned to the court in time, so they dispersed not long after the court opened.
Also because the case was delayed, Shen Tingjun suddenly stopped being busy. In the past two days, he came to the restaurant every now and then to look for her, but he didn't know whether there were too many people staring at him, or he had other taboos. Although he came frequently, there were fewer people staying overnight.
Not to mention, Sang Nianyue was quite uncomfortable with this stoic look. Because of this, she looked at Shen Tingjun strangely.
She didn't suspect that Shen Tingjun was eating out, nor did she suspect that her charm had greatly diminished and she was no longer attractive to Shen Hou. She deeply doubted whether Shen Hou had reached his age and was a little unable to do what he wanted...
Of course, she could just think about it in her mind, but she didn't dare to say it out loud, otherwise she was afraid that Shen Tingjun would be dishonest and catch her from dusk to dawn.
Thinking about Chu Yi's little initiative on the day she got off the ship, the result was that the man let out the beast in his heart. Sang Nianyue still feels scared thinking about this man's madness, rudeness and lack of restraint. Thinking of what happened that day, Sang Nianyue couldn't help but sigh. It was God's blessing that she didn't die on his bed that day.
Not talking about these messy things, just waiting and waiting, finally waiting until the anti-Japanese generals led the soldiers back one after another, Sang Nianyue's heart, which was calm before, was now beating wildly.
She desperately wanted to see her brother, wanted to talk face to face with General Chang about certain things, and wanted her eldest brother to recognize his ancestor after ten years of absence. But she also knew that whether it was General Chang or the eldest brother, both of them were busy people. They still have a lot of aftermath work to do, perhaps regarding these Japanese pirate raids, and they have to meet with the imperial envoy to talk about the unspeakable secrets. After all, she had to wait until they had finished their big things before things on her side could be put on the agenda.
Sang Nianyue originally thought that she would have to wait for seven or eight days, maybe ten days. But what is shocking is that on the third day after all the soldiers returned, she received an invitation personally sent by Mr. Chang.
It was written clearly on the invitation that he was inviting the Sang family's legitimate daughter Nian Yue to visit the Chang Mansion on a certain day and at a certain time.
Sang Nuanyue held this invitation and was stunned for a long time. She didn't even know when her eye circles turned red.
She didn't know when Shen Tingjun came over.
He seems to be really free these days, always showing up anytime and anywhere, and being so elusive every time that he catches her off guard.
Shen Tingjun asked her, "Are you not happy that you received the invitation from the Chang family?"
Sang Nuanyue turned sideways and wiped away the tears rolling out of her eyes. She said in a low voice, "Happily." She had been waiting for this day for so long that she originally thought that this day might not come even if she closed her eyes. But the day still came, and it came so quickly, she just felt in a daze. She was so afraid that when she opened her eyes the next day, it would all turn out to be a lie.
Shen Tingjun sat down beside her and held her in his arms. He smelled the scent of her hair and traced it down her back, soothing her restless mood.
After a long time, Shen Tingjun suddenly said, "Do you need me to accompany you there?"
Sang Nuanyue immediately raised her head, "Will you go with me?"
"What? I can't go?"
Sang Nuanyue grabbed the lapel of his chest and wanted to say: If you want to go, no one can stop you. But in what capacity will you accompany me?
Sang Nuanyue thought about the shameful relationship between the two. Now she was almost like his foreign wife. But can the outer room have a countertop?
She didn't want to meet her eldest brother's savior for the first time, let alone meet her eldest brother's current family, in such an unbearable status.
She can be shameless, she can hang out with him because of her own feelings, no reputation, and no regard for secular ethics. But she didn't want others to look down on her eldest brother because of her, and she didn't want her parents and family to be shamed because of her.
Sang Nuanyue didn't speak for a long time. She pursed her lips in silence and lowered her head without looking at him.
But her silence already represented her attitude.
She didn't want him to show up with her.
Shen Tingjun's heart dropped, and his movements along her back stopped at some point. He didn't want to embarrass her or make things difficult for her. But she had been avoiding him intentionally or unintentionally these days. When he and Lei Shuanghan had wounds on each other, she immediately protected Lei Shuanghan. When she had a family, she reflexively wanted to push him away. Did she really have him in her heart?
Shen Tingjun finally let her go and left Yunlai Restaurant without saying a word.
Sang Nuanyue watched his lonely back disappear. She sat on the bed and was lost in thought for a long time. It wasn't until the lights came on and Su Jin came over to light the candles in the room that she looked over in a daze.
Su Jin asked, "Did you quarrel with Mr. Hou today?"
Sang Nuanyue pursed her red lips and shook her head hesitantly. Su Jin then said, "But why did I look so unhappy when the Marquis left?" Moreover, after the Marquis left, the girl was still withering in the room. Sit till now. Even now, he looks like he is out of his mind.
Are you sure there is no conflict between these two people? Why does she not believe it so much?
But since the girl doesn't want to say anything, Su Jin won't force her. She asked Sang Nuanyue to have dinner first, and then the two of them discussed what clothes to wear on the day they went to Chang's house.
But maybe because she was thinking about Shen Tingjun, Sang Nianyue's interest was never high. Even on the day she left for Chang's home, she looked gloomy.
Uncle Li, Uncle Wang and the nanny will accompany Sang Nianyue to Chang's Mansion today. Seeing the excitement of several old people but unable to control their uneasy expressions, Sang Nianyue had to force herself to cheer up.
As the backbone, her mental state always affects Uncle Li and others. When they visit for the first time, they must be in the best mental state. Even if it wasn't for the Chang family to take a high look, at least his parents were watching from the sky. If they were still alive, I couldn't be too solemn about it. Because this time they are going to recognize their son who has been lost for ten years.
The carriage moved forward slowly for a long time before arriving at Chang's Mansion.
Although the name is Chang's Mansion verbally, the words "Minzhou Navy Admiral's Mansion" are hung on the gate of Chang's family.
The gate tower is majestic and tall, and the navy soldiers guarding both sides are imposing. Coupled with the majestic streets and the chilling atmosphere, ordinary people are discouraged from approaching this place.
Sang Nuanyue and the others walked to the main entrance, but there were already people waiting here.
The people waiting for them were no outsiders, it was Lei Shuanghan and Chang Minjun.
Chang Minjun didn't expect that there would be such a coincidence in the world.
She just asked her maid to find out more about the Sang family, and the next day she hurriedly sent someone to contact them. The clinker is that on that day, Sang Nianyue went out of the east city gate directly because she was looking for her brother.
What a thrilling day that was. If Shuanghan hadn't led his troops to chase the Japanese pirates to that place, her sister-in-law, who had never been masked before, would have fallen into the hands of those vicious Japanese pirates even if she had not fallen off the cliff and died without her body intact.
Chang Minjun couldn't even imagine what would happen to a beautiful girl like her if she fell into the hands of those people.
Because of this, Chang Minjun was not only angry at his own suspicion and caution, but also hated the Japanese pirates who suddenly attacked him.
Fortunately, although things were critical, the final result was good. The sister-in-law was finally saved at the last moment, and by some strange combination of circumstances, the brother and sister were able to meet in advance.
But in the end, if she hadn't been delayed for a day, if she hadn't been so suspicious, Sang Nianyue wouldn't have had to go through that life-and-death danger.
Although the final result was good, Chang Minjun still felt guilty, so Sang Nianyue had just arrived at the gate of Chang's mansion, and before she even got off the carriage, Chang Minjun couldn't wait to greet her.
When Sang Nuanyue stood firm on the ground with Suying's support, Chang Minjun held her in his arms. He said apologetically, "Good girl, I can't help you this time. If I hadn't wasted time, why would you have taken the adventure? You almost lost your life in it. Good girl, it's really my fault this time. I really feel wronged to you."
What Chang Minjun said was sincere, and Sang Nianyue couldn't help but feel sad when she heard it. But she couldn't help but smile. She looked at the beautiful and cheerful woman in front of her, and her heart was filled with gratitude and kindness.
If nothing else, this should be her sister-in-law.
How beautiful she is, and she didn't hesitate to marry her brother when he was in trouble. It was this woman who, in these ten years, gave her brother a home, gave birth to children for him, and always stayed by his side.
Sang Nuanyue's nose felt sore, her eye circles were red, and tears could not be controlled and rolled out of her eyes.
But she held it back after all. She chuckled and said, "I'm not wronged." She wanted to say, "It's you who are wronged. My brother doesn't understand the style and is a straight man. If he has been in the couple's life in these years , said inappropriate words, or failed to understand your difficulties. Please don’t be angry with your brother. He is actually a very good person, but he is just too careless. You just need to teach him more and talk more. My brother will remember his few words and will not make the same mistake again in the future..."
Thousands of words were stuck in her throat, but Sang Nuanyue couldn't say the last word. She could only hug the woman in front of her with all her strength, and said word by word: "I am not wronged, you are wronged. Thank you, thank you for staying with him all these years."
As he said this, Chang Minjun's heart was as hard as iron and could not help but turn into a puddle of water at this time.
Xu Shi has no sisters in her family, so she has been living among her brothers since she was a child. Or maybe even the three children she gave birth to were all little bullies who were fearless. Chang Minjun had never been so close to such a gentle girl. Just listening to her words made her feel warm in her heart. She couldn't help but think in her heart: This girl looks gentle and has no temper. , but she is really a hard-core person. She has persisted in looking for Shuanghan for so many years. If it weren't for her determination to never give up until she achieves her goal, how could their brother and sister meet today?
It's a pity that such a good girl has such a miserable life. Every time I meet someone, I am not kind, and now I am being deceived by Shen Hou...
There is no need to say these words. I just want to say that the door of Chang Mansion is not the place to talk. There are so many soldiers outside with their ears perked up, waiting to hear the gossip. Although these are all the family's personal guards, there is no need to worry that any of them will rebel. But if you are not afraid of ten thousand, you are afraid of the worst. How to handle Shuanghan's identity needs to be carefully discussed. Otherwise, if someone reveals it rashly, it will not only be useless to the Sang family, but also a big disaster to the Chang family.
Lei Shuanghan watched helplessly as the two women hugged each other and talked. In fact, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
He cared about his daughter-in-law, and he cared even more about his sister, but they both completely treated him as if he didn't exist. Could it be that for such a big man standing here, is he really so inconspicuous?
Lei Shuanghan doubted his own existence for the first time.
After the two finally finished reminiscing about old times, Lei Shuanghan took advantage of the opportunity and said quickly, "Come in and talk, it's very hot outside, don't let you get heatstroke."
Chang Minjun rolled his eyes at him and wanted to say, "Stop urging me." But as the words rolled to the tip of her tongue, she suddenly remembered that her sister-in-law was still here.
When she met her husband's family for the first time, she had to behave better to give her man face. Forget it, I won’t argue with him this time.
In fact, when they first got married, Chang Minjun was also very gentle towards Lei Shuanghan. However, Lei Shuanghan is too cheap. Please talk to him nicely. He still dislikes being so disgusting and wants to show you the goosebumps on his body. Then there is no reason why Chang Minjun should not show off the charm of the female generals of the Chang family to scare him.
As time passed, the relationship between the two became established. So there is no such thing as gentleness, so don’t think too much about it.
The group finally entered the Chang Mansion. Uncle Wang and others followed behind them. Several old people could not help but wipe their tears one after another.
Uncle Wang burst into tears, "It's the eldest son, it's the eldest son." This is the real eldest son, not just a figment of his imagination. But this eldest son was not the familiar "Orion" he had seen before.
But whether or not things in this world are magical, the girl came to Minzhou because of that Orion, and even went to the east of the city to look for him. But because she couldn't find him, she hurriedly left the city. The clinker, through such a strange combination of circumstances, found the real young master.
The wet nurse kept chanting "Amitabha" beside her. Everything is destined by God. Sure enough, God has eyes, and he has already arranged everything.
Uncle Li also cried until his eyes were dim, "That's good, that's good. It doesn't matter how many things went wrong in the middle, as long as the result is good. As long as the eldest son can be found again."
There were many people outside, and a few old people tried hard to suppress their excitement. But now I entered the gate of Chang Mansion and walked on the sparsely populated verandah. The three old men finally couldn't bear it anymore. They walked a few steps quickly, wishing they could put their eyes on Lei Shuanghan.
He is definitely the eldest son. Look at the way he walks and the carefree look. There is no one who has a cool and elegant face, but still behaves like a playboy.
This means that both the master and his wife have passed away, and there is no one to control him. Otherwise, seeing him struggling to walk properly, he will be punished again.
Everyone was walking and talking. Chang Minjun asked Sang Nianyue when she arrived in Minzhou and why she remembered coming to Minzhou to look for someone? Who else is at home? Are your parents still alive, and are there any younger siblings at home?
Sang Nianyue briefly mentioned all the bitterness and bitterness of searching for him for ten years. She only said that she came to Minzhou to look for her eldest brother because she received a letter from the nanny.
This also involved the issue of a gangster, which Sang Nianyue explained in a few words, but Chang Minjun and Lei Shuanghan looked at each other and took this matter to heart.
Just say, is this interesting?
Someone in this world had already discovered that Lei Shuanghan was Sang Fuyue, and had sent people to assassinate those who were looking for Sang Fuyue in Minzhou early?
This thing sounds fantasy and ridiculous, but it actually happened. Then there is no room for them not to care and find out the person behind the scenes, otherwise they will have trouble sleeping and eating.
When it comes to the question of who else is in the family, Sang Nianyue feels even more sad. She looked at her eldest brother, who was full of contemplation, and finally said softly, "I and one younger brother are the only ones left in the family. My parents, they passed away ten years ago."
Chang Minjun exclaimed, "He died ten years ago?"
"Yes. Ten years ago, my parents and my eldest brother went out and happened to encounter a flood caused by heavy rain. The carriage my parents were riding in was immediately washed away by the flood. The eldest brother jumped into the water in desperation to find someone, and then he didn't know whether he was alive or dead."
Chang Minjun looked at Lei Shuanghan, but Lei Shuanghan just knocked his head but couldn't remember anything.
But the pain on his face was not fake. It was obvious that what Sang Nianyue said deeply touched him. Even if he can't think of anything yet, his body's instinct will sometimes give him the appropriate emotional expression.
Chang Minjun pulled down Lei Shuanghan's hand that kept banging his head. Then she looked at Sang Nuanyue and said with a sigh, "After Shuanghan was rescued, his father asked a military doctor to see him. He said it was Drowning for a long time has caused brain damage, and this amnesia is permanent. Shuanghan hasn't remembered anything until now, and I'm afraid he won't remember much in the future."
(End of chapter)
