The Huaihe River in late autumn is colder than on land.
Groups of mist rose from the water and enveloped the entire ship.
After Cheng Mei and Bai Sanzhuang finished chatting, they stood on the deck of the ship and looked out.
In another day, the ship will enter the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal from the Huaihe River, then enter the East China Sea, follow the East China Sea to Quancheng, and from Quancheng to Jiaozhi.
This route was familiar to her.
Because she was the one who created the upline.
He also experienced a narrow escape from death in the waves, and almost died at the hands of pirates.
Now her fleet is flying the flag with the word "Cheng", and even pirates will pay homage from a distance when they see it.
The cold wind lifted the veil, and her face was looming in the moonlight.
It is said that Cheng Mei is very mysterious. She wears a veil all day long and refuses to show her face to others. No more than five people in the world have seen her face.
She couldn't help but sneer against the wind, wondering what Bai Sanzhuang would think if he saw her appearance under the veil.
The veil was rolled up by the wind and hung on the curtain hat. She did not touch it, letting her face be exposed in the cold wind.
It was a face that had been destroyed by a knife, a face that would make a child cry when he saw it.
I don’t know if Bai Sanzhuang’s little sister will cry in fear when she sees it.
"Master, it's cold outside, come in." Butler Yan walked over gently, waved his hand, and the maid who held out her hand came over with a cloak.
"The moonlight is so beautiful today, I would be sorry if I didn't appreciate the beautiful moonlight." Cheng Mei stood still on the deck and let the maid tighten her cloak. However, when the maid wanted to touch down the gauze on her curtain, she pulled Opened the maid's hand.
Butler Yan stood calmly behind Cheng Mei.
"I was indeed right. The Bai family raised that child so well. Even better than I thought."
Cheng Mei suddenly said, her eyes so clear under the moonlight that she seemed to have tears in them.
"Yes, Bai Banban and his wife are kind people." Butler Yan said.
He thought of that snowy night when he pretended to die to get past Mrs. Ru's eyes and put the child in the snow in front of the couple's white-board door.
Then he left without looking back.
"You are more blessed than me. Have you ever met that child?" Cheng Mei said softly, with a cloud of sadness in her voice that could not be brushed away.
Butler Yan's thoughts moved slightly.
There is no girl more delicate and lovely than the little miss. He saw the child at a glance in front of the house in Yangfeng County for the first time. She was the same child as the head of the family.
And he was not afraid of his ferocious face at all.
Another gust of wind came along with the waves, and Cheng Mei's veil rolled up again.
By the moonlight, Butler Yan saw a ferocious face, which had been randomly stabbed with a knife.
It was almost the same as his face being burned.
He himself didn't care, but every time he saw the boss's face, he just felt it was a pity.
My heart was covered in severe pain.
In the past, the head of the family was so beautiful that he was so charming.
"Miss, you and the young lady will meet eventually." Butler Yan sighed slightly and couldn't help but call the big boss "Miss" as before.
Cheng Mei shook her head and said with a wry smile: "Since I gave her to the Bai family, she is the Bai family's child. The fate between her mother and daughter was at the moment she was born."
Having said that, it is still a mother-daughter relationship, not to mention that the head of the household had narrowly escaped death to give birth to her, and used his own "death" to win her a life.
Butler Yan disagreed with Cheng Mei's statement.
"It's just a meeting." Butler Yan said.
Cheng Mei frowned and said nothing.
Why didn't she want to see the child?
After she was reborn from the ashes, she first started doing business in Yangfeng County. It was not that she didn't want to go to Shenshu Village to meet her.
She endured it and suppressed her thoughts.
Lin Ran died and became the living Cheng Mei.
She was afraid that if she really saw her, her true identity would be exposed and bring disaster to the child.
Although the child is already a child of the Bai family, he is still her weakness.
She couldn't make any mistakes.
Secondly, she didn't dare to see the child. In addition to fearing that her face would frighten the child, she also had a feeling of being close to her hometown and even more timid.
"It's just a one-time meeting? Butler Yan, you don't understand. I'm afraid that if we meet, we will have a deeper bond."
Under the moonlight, Cheng Mei stood outside the cabin. The darkness covered her face, and her whole person looked so magnificent.
"Miss." Butler Yan's voice was sad.
That time when the house was sold in Yangfeng County and the family moved to the capital, it happened that the buyer was Lao Bai's family.
When the boss learned the news, she had already boarded the ship and hurriedly got off the ship, wanting to sit in the carriage and take a look at the child from a distance.
But when the carriage turned to the corner of the house, she suddenly changed her mind and ordered the carriage to turn back.
I didn't see the child after all.
After he saw the child and returned home, the boss asked him to tell the story of the meeting in detail.
If you don't want to have a bond, why do you always pay attention to the news about the young lady?
And why did he order him to go all out to get close to Bai Sanzhuang and give him a piece of the business territory he had opened up?
The night is getting darker, the wind and waves are getting stronger, and the mist on the water is getting more condensed.
When Cheng Mei returned to the cabin, the maid had already prepared water for washing.
Cheng Mei cleaned her hands, took off her curtain hat, and sat in front of the dressing table.
A ferocious face appeared in the mirror, with all the skin and flesh pricked together, and only a pair of shining eyes remained unscathed.
I was really not used to seeing this horrified face at first, but after so many years, I have become accustomed to it now.
Everyone in the world thought she was the female businessman Cheng Mei, but they didn't know that she was Shen Junshan's first wife Lin Ran.
After all, Lin Ran died of hemorrhage during childbirth that snowy night.
After Cheng Mei washed herself, she turned off the light and lay on the bed listening to the sound of the wind and waves outside.
The sound of wind and waves came again and again, just like the wind and snow that year.
Everyone said that Shen Junshan failed Mrs. Ru by marrying her.
Little did she know that Shen Junshan was as tough as pampas grass to her.
There was never Mrs. Ru among them.
For example, Mrs. Li is just a blind identity that Shen Junshan placed in her home in order to repay her kindness.
She regards Madam Ru as a sister, and Madam Ru always behaves herself in the house.
Unexpectedly, he was raised to be a wolf with ambition.
No, maybe she and her husband fell into the trap set by Mrs. Ru and the people behind her from the beginning.
These are the truths that she carefully thought about after being reborn on a snowy night.
When her husband died tragically in Shu, she only cared about being sad, but never thought that the biggest hidden danger came from around her.
When she woke up, she was already ten months pregnant and about to give birth.
She fought hard and gave birth to her daughter on a snowy night, and worked with Butler Yan to save her daughter's life.
She thought that her life would be buried in heavy snow, but she didn't expect that God would open her eyes and give her a chance to start over.
Fate was cruel to her, but it was cruel. She relived the moment when she was disfigured and dragged to the mountains.
Fate was kind to her, but at least she had a chance to live a new life.
You can avenge your husband.
You can get news about your daughter.
The daughter, the girl who she lay in the delivery room after birth, only glanced at her and then hurriedly left her side.
Although there are mountains and seas between them, they are her only remaining relatives in this world.
"Little Yuanbao."
Cheng Mei recalled the clever and beautiful girl in Bai Sanzhuang's mouth, her smiles and the interesting things about her.
With the sound of waves, I gradually fell asleep.
