In the end, the ship did not stay at the dock in the town for long, firstly because Sang Nianyue cried herself to sleep, and felt much better when she woke up. She was anxious to return to Jinzhou to pay homage to her parents, so she endured all kinds of embarrassing emotions and discussed with her eldest brother to set off as soon as possible.
The second reason was that when Sang Nianyue fell asleep, Su Jin thought about it and left the cabin to see Lei Shuanghan.
Lei Shuanghan originally got angry when he saw Su Jin, thinking that his sister was feeling unwell again. The clinker Sujin told him something that he didn't expect at all.
I learned that Su Wen and Su Ying, who my sister was taking with me now, turned out to be Shen Hou's people. Even many of the maids in the mansion in the capital were sent by Shen Hou. And when my sister was in trouble, the nursing staff around her were actually the ones Shen Tingjun had arranged for a long time ago... Lei Shuanghan's mood at that moment was really complicated and indescribable.
He was almost furious, and he really wanted to go back to Minzhou and have a life-or-death fight with Shen Tingjun.
But these are not the most important things at the moment. It is serious to control both Suwen and Suying first.
After all, what Su Jin was worried about was exactly what he was worried about now - his sister was pregnant with Shen Tingjun's child, and Shen Tingjun was alone and had no children!
He is the Marquis of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion and is the authentic descendant of the eldest son. The important task of continuing the bloodline would be overwhelming to ordinary people, so I don't believe that the old lady of the Hou Mansion didn't urge him. But under all kinds of pressure, Shen Tingjun still did not renew his relationship, did not have any troubles, and did not produce an heir...the most important thing is the heir!
If he found out that his sister had given birth to his child, he wouldn't even have to think about the consequences.
Lei Shuanghan violently controlled Su Wen and Suying. As for the rest of Sang Nianyue's side, except for the old man who had been following her, Lei Shuanghan sent people to beat them and interrogate them for a few words.
Fortunately, except for Suwen and Suying, the rest are all good ones.
But since Shen Tingjun could send someone to his sister once, he would send someone a second time. Who knows if any of the people they met along the way were manned by Shen Tingjun.
In order to prevent his sister's pregnancy from being exposed, and because his sister's complexion did look much better, Lei Shuanghan decisively decided to set off.
The passenger ship traveled very fast, and due to the favorable wind and river, by nightfall, they had already left the boundary of Minzhou and entered another state capital. And a little further on, you’ll reach Huizhou.
In order to prevent his sister from feeling uncomfortable again, Lei Shuanghan had the boat stopped and decided to rest for one night before continuing on the road tomorrow.
At this time, Sang Nianyue also keenly noticed that something had happened to Suwen and Suying around her.
Su Jin had told her before that the two maids were a little seasick and were resting in the cabin. But this afternoon, Sang Ning Yue stopped vomiting, her body felt comfortable, and she naturally had the energy to think about other things. Suwen and Suying didn't feel sick when they came south from the capital. Why did they become unwell when they went from Minzhou to Jinzhou? Why did it look like he was infected by her? But they weren't pregnant,... For a sudden moment, Sang Nuanyue's mind suddenly started, and then she thought of something.
She called Sujin to ask, but Sujin told her the truth directly.
Su Jin said: "Miss, maybe I didn't notice it, but I did find something fishy. Su Wen and Su Ying are from the Marquis, and the rest of the martial arts personnel in the house should have been arranged by the Marquis. You are at your side to look after you.”
Sang Nianyue was stunned, but then she thought, maybe this is the best explanation. Otherwise, it would be such a coincidence. Uncle Li went out to buy people and met many suitable ones. And whether it's Qiu Tong Qiu Yu or Li Cheng, they not only look decent, but also have "craftsmanship" with them. Unless the nobles in the capital are blind and cannot see their merits, otherwise capable people like them may not be able to stay in the hands of Renyazi for a while before they will be bought away.
After thinking about this and thinking about Shen Tingjun's thoughts, Sang Nianyue couldn't help but lower her head.
He was also considerate of her.
Su Jin: "Since you want to raise the young master in your belly, naturally you can't let the Marquis know about this, otherwise..."
Su Jin didn't need to elaborate on what happened next, Sang Nianyue also thought of it.
When she lived in the Marquis Mansion in the capital, the old lady kept talking about Shen Tingjun's renewal of her marriage. Of course, continuing the lineage is a trivial matter, but the big thing is that the bloodline cannot be continued without heirs. The old lady was so worried at that time that she even wanted Shen Tingjun to get married as soon as possible and give birth to a grandson for her to hold. She often held the "darlings" of the second and third bedrooms in her arms when everyone paid their respects. She was mumbling about all kinds of good things about children, just to make Shen Tingjun covetous and have one as soon as possible, so that she could give an account to her ancestors.
It's a pity that Shen Tingjun is ignorant and doesn't take this into consideration at all.
The old lady coaxed a few younger ones to go to their uncle to beg for help, in an attempt to make Shen Tingjun feel so itchy that he could quickly remarry and have children... but it turned out to be a miscalculation.
It can be said that the battle of wits and courage between mother and son is also a scene in the Hou Mansion.
And the old lady is obsessed with thinking about her grandson. Shen Tingjun, who is approaching his thirties...does he really not want an heir? .
But since she has no future with him and she doesn't want to remarry, she will definitely not let this child go.
Besides, without a matchmaker, this is considered a son-in-law, right?
Sang Nuanyue's breathing suddenly became heavy.
Her fingers tightened on the thin quilt on her body, and for a moment she felt it was difficult to breathe, wishing she could suffocate.
Would Shen Tingjun really allow her to give birth to a child with such a background?
Sang Nianyue's mind was spinning, and she only had one sentence left in the end, "Tell my elder brother not to let him treat Su Wen and Su Ying harshly... They have been serving me conscientiously by my side, so don't hurt them."
Su Jin said, "Don't worry, the eldest son has a sense of propriety and will not do anything harmful to the world." It was just to prevent them from spreading rumors that they shouldn't spread, and now they have no personal freedom.
Then again, after all, these two people are people close to the Marquis, and they are probably still responsible for sending letters to the Marquis to inform him of the girl's situation. Once the letter is stopped, the Marquis will soon realize that something is wrong. Appropriate. When he sends people again, they will be in the light and the other party is in the dark. The situation is obviously not good for them. Therefore, even if it is to stabilize the Marquis first, the eldest son will not harm Su Wen and Suying.
After hearing this, Sang Nuanyue felt much more relaxed.
But her mood was more complicated.
She didn't expect that Su Wen and others were Shen Tingjun's people, just as she didn't expect that the person she was guarding against now became Shen Tingjun.
After the boat stopped, her sister-in-law came over and asked her if she wanted to go for a walk on the deck.
Sang Nuanyue had been lying in bed all day, her body was a little stiff, and she really wanted to go out and move around. But when she thought about what she had done before, her sister-in-law now knew about it, she felt a little embarrassed, so she rejected her sister-in-law.
Chang Minjun seemed to have read through her thoughts, and said nothing else except, "You are pregnant now, and the doctor said you should not have random thoughts. Otherwise, you will not feel well, and it will also affect the child's development."
Sang Nuanyue had never given birth and did not understand these principles, but since her sister-in-law said it, she hurriedly responded, "I don't have random thoughts, sister-in-law, don't worry about me."
"Well, you can rest for a while. I'll go over and see if Lei Zhan and the others have finished their homework. They are really asking for debts. Asking them to write big characters is like killing them. Both the Chang family and the Sang family have scholars. How come when it comes to their three brothers, this ancestral talent has disappeared."
Chang Minjun muttered and walked away.
This room saw off the eldest lady. After the wet nurse came in, she said, "Girl, please get up and take a walk. If you lie down again, your bones will hurt."
Sang Nuanyue said "Okay", then stood up with the help of the wet nurse and Su Jin, and slowly walked around the cabin a few times.
The wet nurse spoke, "We are about to arrive in Huizhou. We are on our way, and the girl is not feeling well, otherwise we should have gone to Zhou's house to sit there."
What they said about going to Zhou's house to sit and sit was actually just to scare them.
The nanny was really angry when she mentioned the Zhou family.
That family was a mess, the elders were dishonorable, and it was not decent to raise the younger ones. Think about Zhou Baolu, and then think about Zhou Bingkun. They both look human-like, but they are both humanoid and inhuman things. Thinking about what kind of life the girl and the young master lived with them when they lived in the Zhou family, the wet nurse was even more dissatisfied.
There was so much money to spend in those years, but Ansheng never lived a single day.
But there was really nothing they could do at that time. The Zhou family was already the best place for them, so no matter how others tried to bully them, they could only close their eyes and endure the anger.
But things are different now. Now that the young master is back, the girl has someone to support her.
The nanny said, "If we let them know that the eldest young master is now in the third grade, I'm afraid I'll scare them into something bad." The nanny sneered, "Thirty years to the east of Hedong, thirty years to the west of Hexi, let them not behave themselves. As long as they treat girls It's better than the young master, the eldest master has to come to them in person to give them a thank you gift. Now, hey, the reason why we don't settle accounts with them is because our schedule is too busy and we can't take care of it for a moment. "
Hearing this, Sang Nianyue said, "You really think too much. Uncle...if they knew that their eldest brother was still alive and still in the third rank, they might be scared for a moment. But they are thick-skinned and unreasonable, and they might fight again in the future. Relying on his status as an elder and his affection for nurturing our siblings, he suppressed my brother's favor and worked for their benefit."
Nurse: "They want to eat shit! They don't look beautiful, but they think they are pretty!"
Sang Nuanyue blushed when she heard the wet nurse say bad words. Su Jin said, "You should be more refined. The girl is pregnant with the young master, and she doesn't dare to let the young master learn these bad things from you."
The wet nurse quickly fanned her mouth, "My fault, my fault, my words were blown away by the strong wind. The young master is sleeping soundly now, so he must not have heard anything."
In fact, what she couldn't hear was that she was only about one month pregnant and her belly was as flat as ever. Although she had never been pregnant, she had heard people talk about it before, saying that babies at this age were only about the size of a soybean or a peanut. What can the baby hear?
Not to mention these messy things, I just want to say that because their group kept a low profile, no one disturbed them along the way.
In this way, with smooth wind and water, we arrived in Jinzhou in just five days.
The temperature in Jinju is relatively lower than that in Minju.
In fact, this is a good place to stay healthy. Simply because it is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces water on one side. The three sides surrounded by mountains can effectively block the cold air from the south in winter, and the side facing the water just meets the ventilation needs in summer. This terrain is somewhat similar to a basin, and the temperature is neither high nor low all year round. People living here will have a high level of comfort.
As soon as the passenger ship approached the dock, Sang Nuanyue couldn't help but get out of the cabin.
She has stayed in her room for the past few days because she still doesn't know how to face her elder brother. Who knew that as soon as she walked out of the cabin door, she would see a generous figure standing at the bow of the ship with his back to her.
Sang Nuanyue slowly walked over and called softly, "Brother."
Lei Shuanghan turned around and looked at his sister, "Are you still feeling unwell?"
Sang Nuanyue shook her head and looked up at her elder brother. She only vomited badly the first morning, and then only when she got up early every day would she vomit more seriously. The rest of the time she was fine.
I just wanted to tell this to my elder brother, but when Clinker looked up, he saw a fair and handsome face.
Sang Nianyue was dumbfounded and looked at her eldest brother who was so close, "Brother, your..." beard.
Lei Shuanghan also felt a little uncomfortable when he mentioned his beard. He coughed lightly and touched his cold face.
He has had a big beard covering his face for so many years. To be honest, he was not used to it when he suddenly shaved his beard and exposed his face to the clear breeze.
However, it is also time to show his true face.
He had been away from home for too long, and how could his parents recognize him when he showed up like that?
Lei Shuanghan said, "This is good, it's cool... screw, how similar is my appearance now to the big brother you remember?"
Sang Nuanyue had tears in her eyes. She looked at her eldest brother eagerly, not wanting to blink.
How similar is it? In fact, it is only seven or eight points now. After all, the eldest brother earlier was a high-spirited young man with a childish face and eyes full of longing for the future. But today's eldest brother is thirty years old, and his face is actually much rougher under the scorching sun and strong wind at the beach. The most important thing is that his eyes are tolerant and sharp, and his facial features are majestic and solemn. This is really unlike the previous Sang Fuyue who was so handsome.
But they are indeed the same person, just ten years apart. He went from immature and youthful to mature and steady. But apart from these, he is still Sang Fuyue.
Sang Nuanyue laughed, "Brother, if you keep walking like this, you may be recognized by many old neighbors."
Lei Shuanghan smiled, whether it was a sneer or a chuckle. But his cheeks twitched strangely, which made his smile look very weird, even a little more permeable.
"Recognize? It would be great if you really recognized me."
