The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 451 The Seventh Month (2)
"It's Haishi. Go to sleep quickly, go to the inner room to clean for my husband, and I will be back soon." Xue Yaoxi said to Shen Xuan, patted Shen Xuan's back lightly with her hand, and saw Shen Xuan's sleepy eyes closed. After an eye, he got up and went to the inner room.

Knowing that Xue Yaoxi had returned, Shen Xuan couldn't stop the drowsiness in her body anymore, and soon fell asleep peacefully.When Shen Xuan wakes up every morning, Xue Yaoxi has already left the house. If she doesn't see anyone at night, she will feel a sense of irritability.This is also the reason why Shen Xuan insists on waiting for Xue Yaoxi to come back no matter how late it is every night.Shen Xuan can sleep peacefully at night only when she sees Xue Yaoxi herself.

When Xue Yaoxi finished cleaning and came out of the inner room, Shen Xuan was already fast asleep.Lifting up a corner of the quilt, Xue Yaoxi lay down, without any other movements, Shen Xuan, who felt the familiar breath, automatically moved to Xue Yaoxi's side.

Avoiding Shen Xuan's protruding belly, Xue Yaoxi gently hugged her into his arms, and looked at her lovingly.Recently getting up early and coming back late, Xue Yaoxi feels like she hasn't chatted with Shen Xuan for a long time.Look at the sweetness on Shen Xuan's face.With a satisfied expression, Xue Yaoxi's heart was soft.This is his wife, no matter how late it is, she insists on waiting for him to go home at night, leaving a light for him to light his way home.

"Husband, I miss you." Shen Xuan hugged Xue Yaoxi's arm, rubbed her face with her small face, and said unconsciously.

Hearing Shen Xuan's dream words, Xue Yaoxi's heart softened again. He knew that he had neglected Shen Xuan recently, which made her feel uneasy.Pregnant women are emotionally sensitive.Changing, Xue Yaoxi feels guilty when she thinks that Shen Xuan has to suppress her true thoughts every time.As the closest person, how could Xue Yaoxi not know what Shen Xuan was thinking?

"Go to sleep, lady, I will stay with you for my husband." Xue Yaoxi replied in a low voice, lying next to Shen Xuan's ear.

Seeing the satisfied sleepiness on Shen Xuan's face, he pressed a kiss on her forehead and tucked her in the quilt. Xue Yaoxi hugged Shen Xuan and soon fell asleep.

The next day, when Shen Xuan woke up, the people around her had long since disappeared.Touching the remaining temperature with his hands, the coolness told Shen Xuan that Xue Yaoxi had been up for a long time.

Shen Xuan just stared blankly at one side in a daze. After about a stick of incense, Shen Xuan adjusted her emotions before getting ready to get up.

Seeing Shen Xuan's movements, Yun Shu and Li Luo, who were guarding by the side, hurriedly stepped forward.Helping Shen Xuan get off the bed, the two second-class maids, Xueyan and Pearl, were busy preparing the toiletries.

Since Shen Xuan's belly got bigger, Xue Yaoxi couldn't stay by her side all the time, so he ordered at least four servant girls to stay by Shen Xuan's side every day.Every day when Xue Yaoxi walked out of the room, he ordered the maids to enter the room to guard, Xueyan and the other four who had been promoted to second-class maids could follow them into the room to serve.

It took less than half an hour for Shen Xuan to finish dressing.Without going out of the room, breakfast was placed on the table, and under the service of the maids, Shen Xuan finished the breakfast.

"Ma'am, the housekeeper is asking to see you." At a moment, Xue Yan, who was guarding outside the room, came in and reported to Shen Xuan.

The four maids kept guarding her every step of the way. Shen Xuan couldn't stand this kind of treatment, so she ordered Yun Shu and Li Luo to stay in the room, while Xue Yan and Pearl stayed outside, calling them for something.

"But I said it, what's the matter?" Shen Xuan was stunned for a moment when she heard the housekeeper begging to see her, and then asked aloud.Everyone in the mansion knew that Shen Xuan, the mistress, was in a special situation, so they would not come to see Shen Xuan if there was no serious matter.

"It is said that it is a letter for Madam, it is a letter written by Madam's fourth brother from her mother's side." Xueyan replied truthfully.

"Fourth brother?" Shen Xuan said in a low voice.Then he told Xueyan, "Go and get the letter, it's cold, let the butler go back early."

"Yes, ma'am." Upon hearing the order, Xue Yan responded, then turned and left the room.

In the room, Yun Shu and Li Luo looked at each other and exchanged information.At this time, Shen Xuan was also guessing in her heart, the reason why Shen Chaodong wrote to her.After getting married at the beginning of the year, Shen Chaodong took his newlywed wife Cao Yue to work in other places.Shen Xuan couldn't make it back when she got married, so Shen Chaodong prepared gifts for Shen Xuan early in the morning.Shen Chaoqiu occasionally sent letters back to the capital, and they were also for Uncle Shen and the others. Shen Xuan couldn't figure out the reason why Shen Chaodong sent her a letter at this time.

Not long after, Xueyan came back with the letter.Shen Xuan took the letter, opened it, and quickly read it.The more she looked at the back, the worse the expression on Shen Xuan's face became, and the maidservants next to her were instantly aroused.

"It's unreasonable!" Shen Xuan said angrily after reading the letter.

"Madam, calm down, you are still pregnant with a child." Seeing Shen Xuan's reaction, Yun Shu hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her.

"Madam, drink some tea first. Shun Shuo." Li Luo handed a cup of tea to Shen Xuan.

"Yes, ma'am, if you want to get angry, you should also worry about the child in your belly." Yun Shu said again in agreement.

Under the persuasion of the maids one after another, the tone in Shen Xuan's heart finally dissipated.Seeing the letters scattered on the ground, Shen Xuan felt angry again. Fortunately, Shen Xuan was always paying attention to the child in her belly, knowing that she would not be easily angry at this time, so she forced herself to adjust her emotions.

Seeing the unpredictable expression on Shen Xuan's face, Yun Shu and the others did not dare to make a sound, and the room was silent for a while.Fortunately, this atmosphere did not last long, and Shen Xuan quickly adjusted her emotions.

"Yun Shu, pick up the letter, pack it and put it aside." Shen Xuan ordered Yun Shu calmly.Thinking of Shen Chaodong's request in the letter, Shen Xuan fell into deep thought.

"Yes, ma'am." Yun Shu replied, then squatted down to pick up the paper on the ground.Yun Shu's eyes accidentally saw certain words, and finally understood the reason for Shen Xuan's anger.

It turned out that this letter was Shen Chaodong's request for help, and he wanted to borrow someone from his younger sister, Shen Xuan.

When Shen Chaodong took office at the beginning, as the local parent officer, he was busy dealing with some local gentry and relatively powerful families, so he was negligent in the backyard.Cao Yue was born as a concubine, so her methods and abilities are naturally somewhat inferior, and she is always oppressed invisibly when she interacts with some local wives.It would be better if Cao Yue told Shen Chaodong about it afterwards.Shen Chaodong could take precautions earlier, the bad thing is that Cao Yue didn't tell Shen Chaodong about it.

Cao Yue became pregnant three months ago, a lady who admired Shen Chaodong often came to visit her under the guise of a cover, making Shen Chaodong think that Cao Yue had a good relationship with that lady.After a long time, something happened. Cao Yue had a miscarriage a month ago. As soon as this happened, Shen Chaodong also realized that there was no capable person around Cao Yue, so he wrote to Shen Xuan for help.
