Zhong Niangzi Wanfu

Chapter 101 Get out of here
一
It was winter moon again, snowflakes were falling outside the door, and the yard was so quiet that you could almost hear the sound of snow falling on the dead branches.

Zhong Yan ordered Chang Huan to take the wicker chair to the porch, and wrapped himself in a blanket to sit on the porch and watch the snow.

"Now that I'm back here again, everything seems like a world away, like a dream." Zhong Yan stared at the dead peach tree in the courtyard in a trance.

Chang Huan sighed softly and poured hot tea for Zhong Lan: "Girl, warm yourself up with some hot tea."

Zhong Lan picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "Have you finished your homework?"

"It's done. I'm playing in the snow in the backyard with my second master." Chang Huan replied.

"Tell him to stop playing with Zhong Nan, so as not to lead him astray." Zhong Lan said indifferently.

Chang Huan responded, looked at Zhong Lan's face and said carefully: "Actually, it's not the young master's fault. The girl rarely goes out after returning to Wuding. Even Mrs. Yue at home said that you should take the young master out more often. Let’s go, the girl was always restless before, but now she will be depressed if she continues like this.”

"I don't want to go out." Zhong Lan shook his head and said, "If Anian wants to go out, send a few more people to follow him. That child is at a lively and active age. If he really follows his father's wishes and forces himself to study..."

Zhong Lan was in a daze for a while, then coughed twice: "You go down first."

"Yes." Chang Huan glanced at Zhong Lan distressedly, nodded and stepped back.

Shen Feng...

Zhong Lan's heart was like a dead wood, he just sighed and closed his eyes, wrapped himself tightly in the blanket and shrank.

"Aniang!" A Nian's voice came from outside the door, and in a moment, a child wearing a bright yellow coat and looking exactly like Shen Feng quickly crossed the arch and walked to Zhong Lai to salute, "Son, please say hello to Aniang. "

Zhong Lan came back to his senses, gently smiled and pulled Anian up, brushing off the thin snow on his shoulders: "You kid walks so fast, look at the snow all over you."

After saying that, she glanced at Quanbao, who was holding an umbrella behind Anian: "I made your brother Quanbao busy holding an umbrella for you, and you got covered in snow."

Seeing this, A Nian smiled sheepishly: "I'm sorry, Brother Quanbao."

Quan Bao also scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Young master, you are too embarrassed."

Zhong Lai hugged A Nian and held A Nian's little hand in his to warm it. Looking at Quan Bao, he became interested: "You have gone to school with A Nian these years. I heard from the school teacher that you can already write policy papers? "

Quan Bao shook his head quickly and said: "They are all flashy things. The young ones are not as good as the young master."

"You have this talent, so it shouldn't be buried here. I plan to send you to take the county examination next year. I wonder if you are willing?"

Quan Bao was stunned: "How could a young kid..."

"Why not? Everyone has to go up." Zhong Lan smiled.

"Thank you, madam!" Quan Bao was overjoyed and quickly saluted and thanked her.

"Mom, when will dad come back to pick us up?" A Nian suddenly asked cautiously.

Zhong Lan was stunned because she never believed that Shen Feng died like this. She did not want to return to the capital to accept the orders of Lord Yunlan and face the Shen family. She only told A Nian that Shen Feng was in the capital on errands. We will pick them up and take them home afterwards.

"It will take some time for your father." Zhong Lan spoke in a lonely tone and gently touched A Nian's head.

An Nian bit his lip, his face full of hesitation, and after a while he finally made up his mind and said: "After school yesterday, someone said that daddy was dead, and An Nian had a fight with that person."

"Fight?" Zhong Lan was startled, "How can a kid like you fight with others?"

"Although it was my uncle who came to pick up An Nian from school in the end and separated us, afterwards, An Nian already knew his mistake and apologized to that classmate." An Nian quickly explained.

Zhong Lai looked at A Nian and felt sour for a moment. He pursed his lips and was speechless for a long time.

"A Nian! I heard that there is a man selling candied haws on West Street. Let's go, uncle will take you to buy some!" A male voice came from outside the arch, and in a blink of an eye, a man in green robe who looked like Zhong Lan walked into the yard. It was Zhong Lan’s younger brother Zhong Nan.

After seeing Zhong Nan, Zhong Lan's face darkened: "Don't lead my son astray."

But she didn't stop Anian from throwing herself into Zhong Nan's arms.

"Second sister is joking, how could I lead A Nian astray?" Zhong Nan laughed "hehe" twice and pulled A Nian away.

Zhong Lan was still thinking about what A Nian had just said, biting his lip and bowing his head without speaking, his eyes filled with tears.

It turned out that it was just that he didn't want to admit it, and everyone in the world already knew that Shen Feng was dead.

"Dad?" Anian's joyful voice came over.

"Second... second brother-in-law?" Zhong Nan said in a surprised and surprised voice.

"Brother Nan. A Nian."

Then a very familiar voice came over. Zhong Lan was in a trance and suddenly raised his head. The man he thought about day and night was already standing in the courtyard holding A Nian.

Xu arrived anxiously. Shen Feng's face was red from the cold, and the cloak on his shoulders was covered with snow that he didn't care to brush away. "Lai Niang."

Zhong Lan stood up quickly, his body trembling slightly.

Seeing this, Zhong Nan smiled and turned around to leave.

"Zhong Nan, aren't you going to buy candied haws? Take Anian away." Zhong Lan called with a trembling voice.

Zhong Nan didn't know what was going on, but Zhong Lan's eyes indicated that he had no choice but to do as he was told.

A Nian raised his head and glanced at Shen Feng. Seeing that Shen Feng nodded, he had no choice but to follow Zhong Nan and leave.

Only Shen Feng and Zhong Lan were left in the courtyard, and everything was eerily silent.

With a smile in her eyes, Shen Feng took two steps towards Zhong Lan and said, "Mother Lan."

"you are still alive?"

"I'm alive."

Zhong Lan's eyes were red, and he stepped forward and grabbed Shen Feng's arm tightly: "You, you..."

"Mother Lai, I can't help you, I'm back." Shen Feng choked and hugged Zhong Lan.

Zhong Lan's eyes became redder and redder, and he pushed Shen Fie away: "Get out of here!"

"Lian Niang..." Shen Feng was surprised for a moment and took a small step forward hesitantly.

Zhong Lan took a few steps back as if he was electrocuted: "Get out!"

"I know I owe you a lot. Now that the situation has been settled, I..."

"The dust has settled?" Zhong Lan laughed sadly, "Now that this matter has settled, what about the future? Do you still want to leave me and Anian and bear the responsibility alone? If it is dangerous, dangerous enough to kill you, you Can you leave in a free and easy manner?"

"No! It's not like that." Zhong Lan's question was so resounding that it made Shen Feng feel heartbroken, and he quickly explained.

"What happened before is my fault!"

"Chang Huan!" Zhong Lan no longer wanted to hear Shen Feng continue to elaborate, so he turned around and said, "Please get him out!"

Chang Huan stepped forward in a dilemma: "Girl, uncle, he..."

"If you speak for him, you won't have to wait by my side anymore!" Zhong Lan wiped his tears with a handkerchief and entered the room decisively.

"Uncle..." Chang Huan looked at Shen Feng with tangled eyes.

Shen Feng nodded slightly: "I'll leave first, and you can take good care of the lady."

"Yes."

When Shen Feng walked out of the door, he met Mr. Yue and quickly saluted: "I've met my eldest aunt."

"The second uncle came to see the second girl just now without finishing a cup of tea. Why are you out now?" Mrs. Yue smiled slightly, as if she had guessed that Shen Feng would be kicked out.

"Auntie, you were joking." Shen Feng gave a slight smile in frustration.

"It's getting late today, and it's still snowing. It's difficult to travel in the snow, so I've had someone prepare a private room."

Shen Feng was stunned and quickly thanked: "Thank you, auntie."

Yue Shi turned around with a smile and motioned for Shen Feng to follow her: "Liao'er's mother has always been weak, and this girl has a lot of ideas when she was young, so I should discipline her more at home."

"Actually, Lai'er is not a girl as weak as pampas grass. She has to be strong and tough. She was very scared when you rashly proposed to divorce your wife. She was worried about your safety. She returned to Wuding three days later. All."

"She returned to the capital after returning to Wuding?" Shen Feng was surprised.

"I have always lived in Wen Erlang's house." Mrs. Yue nodded, "When the palace incident happened when Lady Huang of Wen Erlang's family gave birth, Lao'er helped guard Wen's house and support Lady Huang's birth, and at the same time she sent people Go to the Shen Mansion. As soon as the Wen family's child was born, news came that you were missing. She hurriedly entered the palace to look for you and searched through hundreds of corpses with identifiable and indiscernible features."

"She couldn't eat or sleep well for a few days. She finally passed out and was sent back to Wen's family. When she woke up, she received a document announcing your death and posthumously awarding you an official position and imperial decree."

"Countless terrifying news is coming one after another. How can you make her not blame you?"

Yue's voice was light and airy, but her words gnawed at Shen Feng's heart bit by bit. Shen Feng was powerless for a while, lost in thought and shed tears.

"Second uncle, now that he has some free time, he can just calm down and think about all this."

"I owe her a lot." Shen Feng said guiltily.

Yue smiled without saying a word, nodded and left.
