Chapter 336: Reuniting with Hu Dahai
After hearing this, Xie Mubai seemed to understand something.
Shen Wan's life experience is probably more complicated than he imagined.
And Shen Yizhou's deliberate concealment was undoubtedly a form of protection for her.
After a long while, he asked coldly, "Does that person know of Wan'er's existence?"
Shen Yizhou hesitated for a while.
He nodded, then shook his head randomly.
"Wan'er wasn't even born at the time, so he didn't even know if the child was a boy or a girl." He was pale and spoke in a hoarse voice, "Actually, Wan'er's mother was deceived. That bastard concealed his true identity when he was dating her."
"Wan'er's mother is also a fiery sister-in-law. After learning the true identity of that bastard, she resolutely left."
Xie Mubai seemed to understand something.
"And under your arrangement, Wang Si became the nominal concubine of the Marquis of Xiangyang?" He was still a little puzzled. "Since you were unmarried, why couldn't you give her the title of principal wife?"
Shen Yizhou is a good person.
If Shen Wan and her daughter stayed with him, perhaps everything would be different.
This time, Shen Yizhou no longer denied the true identity of Shen Wan’s biological mother.
"Do you think I don't want to?" He shook his head and smiled bitterly, "But she is like this, she is afraid of getting me into trouble."
"But she doesn't know that even if she doesn't marry, I will never marry anyone else in this life."
When Shen Yizhou thought of Wang Si's face, which was so beautiful that it seemed like she was not an ordinary person, bitter tears welled up in his eyes.
That’s right, he likes Wang Si.
He had had a crush on her since he was a teenager.
But he didn't dare to confess.
He was afraid. He was afraid that after he confessed his feelings, they wouldn't even be able to be friends anymore.
After all, she was so perfect, so perfect that he felt that no man in the world was worthy of her!
But when he saw that person, even Shen Yizhou had to admit that they were indeed a perfect match made in heaven.
"Let Wan'er go." Shen Yizhou's eyes were red, and he looked at Xie Mubai with tears in his eyes. "I promised Wang Si that I would take good care of Wan'er."
"Actually, as long as you don't think about rebelling, I won't object to you two being together."
"Wan'er has suffered so much, I really don't want her to be in any danger again!"
Xie Mubai could understand his painstaking efforts.
It’s just that love is love.
It is absolutely impossible to ask him to give up now.
He thought for a moment, then raised his hand solemnly: "I swear to God, I will protect Wan'er with my life."
"As long as I am still breathing, I will never let her be in any danger!"
"You can remain single for your whole life for Wang Si, and I can go through fire and water for Wan'er as well."
After hearing this, Shen Yizhou's eyes became even redder.
After a long while, he nodded slightly: "Okay, remember what you said today."
"Next time we meet, don't expect me to show mercy."
Xie Mubai nodded.
After bidding farewell to Shen Yizhou, Shen Wan and her group continued on their journey.
When leaving Xiejiazhuang, Xie Mubai took a lot of things with him, even a BMW.
With two horses pulling the carriage, the speed was naturally much faster than usual.
"By the way, what did you and Shen Yizhou say?" Shen Wan asked anxiously, "Why were his eyes red when he came out to see me off? Did you scold him?"
Xie Mubai stretched out his hand and held her in his arms, smiling and saying, "He misses your mother."
Shen Wan listened and seemed to understand something.
No wonder Shen Yizhou was so nice to the original owner, it turns out it was because of this!
This winter is particularly cold and there is a lot of snow.
The snow on the ground had not yet melted, and heavy snow fell again, making the road more difficult to walk on.
Black Hawk was in a bad mood and just drove silently.
Ranqiu sat beside him without saying a word of comfort.
She knew clearly that some wounds took time to heal.
"Come in and sit for a while." Shen Wan lifted the curtain and said to Ran Qiu with a smile, "It's too cold outside."
Ranqiu wrapped herself tightly and shook her head: "I'm not cold, really."
She is a maid, and she is already content to be able to sit outside the car. How can she be worthy of sitting with her master?
What's more, Black Hawk was in a bad mood, and she couldn't bear to leave him alone outside.
Seeing that she was determined to do so, Shen Wan did not force her.
She looked up into the distance and saw heavy snow covering the mountains, and everything was white.
Suddenly, I saw a large group of people stopped by the roadside not far away.
They were wearing thin clothes and shivering like dead leaves in the wind.
"Let's go and take a look." Shen Wan frowned slightly, "I don't know what trouble they are in."
Black Hawk didn't say anything, but just parked the car on the side of the road in front.
As soon as she stepped forward, Shen Wan was stunned.
"Brother Hu, it's you?" She widened her eyes in surprise.
Seeing them, Hu Dahai was surprised and happy.
"Sister, you're finally here!" He stepped forward quickly, his cloudy eyes sparkling. "We were just about to go to Miaojiang to look for you."
Shen Wan was a little surprised: “Why are you going there?”
"I met a passing official who said the emperor had sent people to Miaojiang to pick up the third prince," Hu Dahai said quickly. "I was afraid those people might harm you, so I took everyone over to take a look."
After hearing this, Shen Wan’s eyes turned red.
"Are you stupid?" She choked out a sob. "If something really happens, you will be in danger too."
Among these more than one hundred people, except for a few officers who can fight, the rest will just go and get their heads sent for death.
Hu Dahai disagreed: "Our lives were given by our sisters, how can we just stand by and watch them die?"
After hearing this, the other exiles also followed suit.
Shen Wan's eyes were red, and she said gratefully: "Thank you, you are so kind, but why are you wearing so thin?"
Before leaving, she gave Hu Dahai money.
Although the money was not much, it was more than enough to buy these people a pair of cotton coats.
"It's all my fault," Li said ashamedly as she sat in the carriage. "I accidentally broke my leg and it cost me a lot of money."
Big Girl's mother supported her and comforted her: "How can you be blamed for this? You didn't want this to happen."
Having said that, some of the fugitives still looked unhappy.
If this woman hadn't fallen and been injured, they wouldn't have been frozen to the point of being demoted and become grandchildren.
Seeing the dissatisfaction in their eyes, Shen Wan deliberately smiled and said, "It's reasonable to spend as much money as you can, because you are my sister-in-law."
After these words were spoken, the resentful convicts dared not say anything more.
"It's so cold, why are you resting here?" Xie Mubai looked at Hu Dahai coldly.
Hu Dahai frowned slightly: "Nothing, everyone is too tired to walk anymore, so we just rest here."
"This is not a good place." Xie Mubai frowned slightly, "Let's go, there is a village two miles ahead, we can rest there."
Hu Dahai knew very well that this place was not good, but it was a miracle that this group of old, weak and sick people could walk here, so he couldn't ask for too much.
Seeing his troubled expression, Shen Wan understood.
"I bought a sheep on the way." She rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "When we get to the village ahead, I'll treat everyone to some hot sheep soup!"
When they heard that there was hot mutton soup, the prisoners' eyes lit up.
They struggled to support themselves and climbed out of the snow, moving forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Perhaps the temptation of mutton soup was too great, and soon everyone arrived at the village ahead.
The village is not big, with only dozens of households.
Shen Wan found the village chief and after paying a sum of money, she distributed everyone to each household.
She did not break her promise and pulled a lamb out of the space and handed it to Black Hawk.
Soon, the aroma of mutton spread throughout the small village.
Shen Wan and Xie Mubai were assigned to a young widow's home. Seeing how generous these people were, she asked curiously, "Girls, where are you from?"
Shen Wan did not hide it: “Beijing.”
When she heard that it was a nobleman coming from the capital, the young widow's eyes lit up with excitement.
