Shen Tingjun came to Jinzhou, and everything that should be known about this matter was known. Only Sang Nianyue, the person involved, was kept in the dark and had no knowledge at all.
The wet nurse looked at her girl's pretty brows and pursed red lips, her white face looking free and casual, and she really didn't know what to say.
With the eldest young master and eldest lady watching, the girl's temper became softer. But how could such a doughy person compete for a child with the powerful Shen Hou?
Thinking about the majestic and majestic appearance of the Marquis, and then seeing how easy it was to bully the girl, the wet nurse was so worried that she sighed several times unconsciously.
Upon hearing this, Sang Nuanyue looked over and stared at the nanny carefully for a while, "Are you hiding something from me?"
The wet nurse quickly said, "What can I do? Aren't I worried about the young master? I had just entered the academy, which was the time to adapt, but as a result, I took a two-month vacation and returned home. This homework will definitely be delayed even more. I don’t know if I can keep up with my schoolwork when I go back.”
When Sang Nianyue heard this, she was easily led astray by the nanny. She was also worried about Qing'er's studies, so she said, "If you can't let the eldest brother find a wife for Qing'er first, let Qing'er teach her when she is in Jinzhou." Qing'er, don't forget your homework?"
"Then don't forget to tell the young master later that this is also a solution."
After finishing their meal together in the evening, Sang Nianyue talked about two things with her eldest brother. One thing is naturally about the genealogy, and the other is about finding a wife for Qing'er.
Sang Fuyue had no objection to these two matters.
To be honest, he was also very impatient with those distant relatives.
What are those things? What was his vision back then?
As for those cousins, I don’t know if they have been tempered by hard times to be smooth, or if they are just like this in nature, anyway, there is stupidity in their cleverness. It was as if no one knew how their wishful thinking came about, and they looked so calculating that he was disgusted by just one glance. And he sincerely doubted whether he had taken them for fun before. Otherwise, he could have been friends with them for more than ten years? It makes me depressed just thinking about it.
Sang Fuyue did not want to divide the genealogy, and made a final decision on the matter unilaterally, and did not allow others to have the slightest opinion.
As for finding a temporary husband for her brother, it was a serious matter, so there was no need for her brother's consent. Sang Fuyue also made the decision with a slap on the table.
Qing'er had no right to vote, so she looked at her brother and sister who decided the important matter in just a few words, with a moment of doubt in her eyes. So, did he really come to this house just to make up for it?
The three Lei Zhan brothers looked at this newly emerged uncle with pity on their faces.
This uncle is also pitiful. He hasn't even had a day's rest in Jinzhou before his homework was assigned. Compared with my uncle's situation, they only have to study and do homework every morning. They are really happy.
It was getting late, so they dispersed together and went back to the courtyard to rest.
Don't worry about the three little ones, they have already fled away. Sang Fuyue and Chang Minjun dropped off Qing'er and then Sang Nuanyue before returning to their yard.
Because there is still a tough battle to be fought tomorrow - the family tree division, Sang Fuyue is gearing up at this moment, preparing tricks to deal with the other families.
Next, if nothing unexpected happens, there will most likely be some movement from Shen Tingjun's side tomorrow. He has to keep an eye on it and must not allow any of Shen Tingjun's schemes to succeed.
With these two thoughts, Sang Fuyue was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep for a long time. When midnight passed, he was still tossing and turning. He couldn't sleep well, and Chang Minjun, who was delayed, couldn't sleep well either. Finally, Chang Minjun kicked him, and Sang Fuyue fell asleep aggrievedly.
The main room became quiet, and the entire Sang residence fell into silence.
The nursing staff who were assigned to keep vigil today patrolled the entire house in an orderly manner.
However, no matter how strict the defense is, there will always be oversights, not to mention that some people come here intentionally, so these defenses will not be taken seriously.
The sound of porcelain breaking was so loud in the dark night. The nursing staff looked in the same direction together. Their eyes widened, their bodies tensed, and their aura was ready to go.
However, before they could take action, two cats meowed out of the flowers in the shadow of the corner.
They "meow" and "meow" ran away, one chasing the other, and quickly disappeared into the shadows on the other side.
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement around, and the patrol team relaxed. Then the team leader made a gesture, and everyone put on their airs and continued patrolling along the original route.
They didn't notice that just when their attention was attracted by the two cats, two black figures jumped from behind them into the yard next to them without alerting them at all.
The nursing homes did not notice this because they prided themselves on supervising the small courtyard next to them closely enough. And in addition to these people on the surface, there are many secret sentries watching here secretly.
Although they didn't understand why the eldest young master did not arrange for them to guard the warehouse, but let them keep an eye on the eldest girl and the young master's yard. But the eldest young master's order was the biggest, and they had no choice but to obey.
The nursing staff continued to patrol, but in this courtyard, Sang Nuoyue was awakened by the sound of the fine porcelain breaking. She asked Su Jin, who was keeping vigil tonight, "What's going on outside?"
Su Jin said: "It sounded like a cat was running and hit the porcelain. Girl, go to sleep quickly. The cat has gone far away and probably won't come back again."
Sang Nuanyue said "Okay" and then said to Su Jin, "You should go back to your room and sleep. I won't get up again later, so don't stay here."
"It's okay, I'll sleep more peacefully with the girl."
In fact, because the Marquis arrived in Jinzhou, Su Jin felt uneasy and couldn't sleep even if he returned to his room now.
She was very aware of Mr. Hou's usual operations. Although she had not told the young master about these unscrupulous methods before because of various considerations, she felt certain in her heart that there would be uninvited guests in the house tonight.
Su Jin was in a dilemma all day. She wanted to tell the young master some things, but she felt it was unnecessary. After all, the Marquis had thrown away all his important duties and came to Jinzhou. The fact that the girl was pregnant was probably not hidden from the Marquis.
After all, the child in the girl's belly was the Marquis's. After all, they were being unkind.
Moreover, if the matter really breaks down and there is no room for recovery, it will be a bad thing. In the end, the child will be taken away by the Marquis. In this case, it is better to let the girl cry and beg the prince to be soft-hearted. Maybe the prince will be soft-hearted and the child will be left to the girl.
While Su Jin was thinking wildly, Sang Nuanyue had already fallen asleep again.
She slept soundly, and she didn't even hear someone opening the window and coming in, or Su Jin being kicked out.
However, while sleeping, Sang Nuanyue suddenly had a nightmare.
She dreamed that she was in a wilderness, surrounded by snakes, rats, insects and ants, and she was running around barefoot in a panic. She stumbled, too scared to scream, and no one came to save her. Not only that, she was also in a panic and fell into a snake cave unexpectedly.
The snakes in the snake cave were densely packed, and they were spitting their cores at her and swimming around her...
Sang Yue's stomach tightened, and she shouted "Help" in panic. She sat up straight.
Sang Nuanyue had just recovered from the shock, and a layer of sweat broke out on her head. She shivered all over, and she didn't know when she was trapped in someone's arms. A familiar voice with a deep tone said unhurriedly, "Are you having a nightmare?"
"Hmm. Huh?" Sang twisted her head in the middle of the nod, turned her head suddenly, and her whole body suddenly froze.
The moonlight outside the window was half bright, but in fact it didn't shine into the house at all. But there was a candle lit inside the small bed.
The candle is about to burn out, giving off a warm glow. All the darkness outside is blocked out by the curtain, and this small world is quiet and peaceful, as if it is a place where people can rest assured.
However, now Sang Nuanyue was not at ease at all. She felt like she was facing a formidable enemy and couldn't help but look at Shen Tingjun beside her with vigilant eyes. And her body seemed to have its own consciousness, moving slightly inward, wanting to be further away from him, further away.
However, when she started to move, she felt something was wrong.
She lowered her head and took a look, only to see one of Shen Tingjun's hands placed on her lower abdomen.
He kept his arm wrapped around her back and his other arm on her belly. She just made the slightest movement and was hugged back gently by him.
Shen Tingjun's face was neither happy nor angry, and his expression was extremely calm. However, the calmer it was, the more emotionless and indifferent it made that handsome face appear, and the more it made Sang Nianyue fearful and her heart beat like a drum.
Shen Tingjun stopped her movement and lowered his head to look at her beautiful face. There was still a thin layer of cold sweat on her face, which was caused by the nightmare just now. In addition, she tried her best to act without any guilt, but this was a bit difficult for her after all. She became restless and fearful, as if she were facing a formidable enemy, as if he would frighten her to death if he made even the slightest move.
When Shen Tingjun saw this, he felt a little bit of discomfort in his heart. But then he thought that her guilt was all because she wanted to hide this child and didn't want to have a future with him, and he couldn't help but be angry.
But she was pregnant after all, so how could he bear to scare her?
Shen Tingjun stared at her silently for a long time, until Sang Nuanyue could no longer sit still. She smiled as if she was crying, and asked him calmly, "Isn't Mr. Hou handling a case in Minzhou? Has the case been handled? Or is there something particularly important in Jinzhou that requires you to take the time to come over temporarily?"
When Shen Tingjun heard this, the darkness in his eyes became darker, and some suppressed emotions became more intense.
When he spoke again, instead of answering Sang Nianyue's question, he asked her, "Besides these, do you have nothing else you want to tell me?"
Sang Nuanyue's face suddenly turned paler. She finally realized at this moment that he must have determined something before he came to Jinzhou specially. In fact, she should have woken up to this problem a long time ago. After all, his hand had been placed on her lower abdomen from the beginning and he has not moved away yet.
However, this is the news that Sang Nianyue is least willing to admit.
This child, she wanted to keep him.
Her tears ran out of her eyes uncontrollably, and they all fell on Shen Tingjun's well-proportioned palms.
Her tears were hot and hot, even on an early autumn night, with an indescribable heat.
Shen Tingjun seemed to be burned, and his eyes were burned by her desperate expression at the moment.
He removed his hands from her belly and turned her whole body to face him.
He gently wiped her tears with his hand, but the tears seemed to flow endlessly. Not only did they not stop, they flowed back even more fiercely.
Shen Tingjun sighed, with a lot more ambiguity in his tone, "Why are you crying? You hid the child from me, hid her tightly, and locked up all the people who sent me to you. Hehe, are you feeling wronged again now?"
Sang Nuanyue shook her head crazily, trying to say that she was not wronged. She just knew that it was unreasonable for her to do this, so she wanted to hide it from him even more, not daring to let him know that she was pregnant... and she didn't dare to feel wronged.
But, if he knew, would he allow her to give birth to this child? Even if he allowed him to give birth, could this child still stay with her? This was her flesh and blood, and she could not allow him to disappear without a trace before he came to this world, nor could she allow him to grow up alone without the care of her mother.
Sang Nuanyue cried like pear blossoms with rain, her face and eyes were full of tears. She grabbed Shen Tingjun's hand and prayed, "What I did was wrong. I shouldn't have hidden my pregnancy from you. But we, we..." She wanted to say that they had an affair without a matchmaker, so what about this child? The origin is too ugly.
But these four words, so hot on the tongue, she couldn't say them no matter what.
Sang Nuanyue just sobbed softly, crying so hard that she almost fainted.
"Thousands of mistakes are made, but it is all my fault after all. But he is already here. He is a little life. I beg you, please let me give birth to him. Let me give birth to him, okay?"
Shen Tingjun wiped her tears silently, "This is also my flesh and blood. Do you think I will let you have an abortion without him?"
Sang Nuanyue seemed startled, and then her eyes filled with joy. She shook her head wildly, "You must be reluctant to let go."
After saying this, it seemed that my heart was no longer so heavy. In fact, she didn't dare to tell Shen Tingjun the news. This was her main worry.
Because the child's parentage is a stain not only for the child himself, but also for Shen Tingjun.
Will a noble family who values reputation, rules and family status allow this child to be born? Will such a little thing be allowed to tarnish the glory left by our ancestors and the glorious lintel?
She did not dare to compare such a small life with these heavy burdens. Because I know I can’t compare! We also know that even if a child's life is valuable to the mother, to some other unrelated people, it is simply not worth mentioning.
Fortunately, Shen Tingjun did not intend to let her take away the child. Sang Nianyue seemed to have received a gold medal for immunity from death, and she almost had snot bubbles in her nose from laughing.
"Since you allowed me to give birth to him, then can you leave him to me to raise?"
