Chapter 222 Returning Home
Shen Qingtan looked at Gu Changsheng in surprise. A woman's personal belongings should not be displayed in front of a man outside hers, let alone taken off and given to him.
"Miss, my request offends you." Gu Changsheng realized that his condition was too abrupt. He pursed his lips slightly and explained, "I couldn't find my sister once. She said that the bell on her bracelet would ring, and I could find her when I heard the bell."
Shen Qingtan was stunned, as if he had not expected this to be the reason.
Suddenly, a fleeting image flashed through her mind.
"I have no intention of offending you, young lady." Gu Changsheng couldn't see, but he still lowered his head to face her: "This is my only condition."
At this moment, Shen Qingtan understood his loneliness. Perhaps it was because he had been separated from his family and could empathize with his experience. Without hesitation, he took off the bracelet and handed it to him.
The back of Gu Changsheng's hand touched the slightly cool temperature of the bracelet. He lightly hooked the bracelet with his fingertips and held it in the palm of his hand. His fingertips slowly groped for the pattern. When he touched the peony pattern, his fingers paused.
Afraid of making a mistake, he rubbed it over and over again, paying close attention to every texture and inlaid gems and pearls.
The bracelet's filigree inlay craftsmanship and the specially designed peony pattern all overlapped and matched the image in my mind.
Shen Qingtan stared at his movements, and an inexplicable impulse arose in her heart, pushing her to ask, "May I know what your name is, sir?"
"Changsheng." Gu Changsheng's voice was slightly hoarse: "My name is Gu Changsheng."
Shen Qingtan felt as if something exploded in his mind, and a childish voice called out "Brother Changsheng" over and over again.
The frame that flashed through my mind quickly was now reversed and became very clear.
[Brother, you were playing hide-and-seek, how did you find Manman? ]
【Manman hid so well, brother couldn't find you.】
[The older brother is stupid. The second older brother is very smart. He found Manman right away when he heard the bell on Manman's bracelet ring.]
[Next time I can't find Man Man, my brother will listen to the bell to find Man Man.]
Many forgotten memories flashed through my mind, fast or slow.
Shen Qingtan looked up at Gu Changsheng in a daze, only to see him holding the bracelet in a daze.
She felt sad when she thought about how Gu Changsheng ran away from home after she was kidnapped and never gave up looking for her.
At that time, he was just a young boy.
He is blind, but whenever he hears a bell, he will follow the sound. He has experienced countless disappointments and been misunderstood by many people, but he still holds on to the belief in his heart until he finds her.
Shen Qingtan suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, shook the other bracelet, and the bell sounded crisply.
Gu Changsheng turned his head following the sound.
Shen Qingtan said in the soft voice she used to when she was little: "Brother Changsheng, do you hear the bell? Manman is right here."
A bright and beautiful smile appeared on her face, and she shook the bell at him again. He stared at her intently, tears sliding down his veil without warning.
When Shen Qingtan was kidnapped and Gu Changsheng had a bone broken, he didn't cry.
Gu Changsheng didn't cry when his grandmother passed away.
Until this moment, Shen Qingtan said, "Manman is here," and found his sister who had been lost for many years, and Gu Changsheng shed tears.
Gu Changsheng clenched the bracelet in his hand, his fingertips turning white: "Brother heard the bell sound."
Shen Qingtan looked at the tear marks on his face and deeply realized that although relatives were separated over time and circumstances had changed, the love they had for her in their hearts remained the same.
That's how my parents are.
The same goes for my brothers.
She looked at his eyes covered by the veil, wondering how much suffering he had endured outside.
He couldn't get over the fact that he had lost her.
What's more, because she disappeared, the old ancestor couldn't bear the blow and passed away, which was another blow to his heart.
No one can understand the pain and suffering in his heart.
"Brother Changsheng, your eyes."
"Nothing." Gu Changsheng took the bracelet and pretended to put it on her. He soon realized something. He handed the bracelet over and said lightly, "My eyes can't be stimulated by strong light."
When Shen Qingtan heard this, he knew that he didn't want to say more and fell silent.
Many of the small talk after reunion is not suitable for them.
The brother and sister who once had such a close relationship are now speechless. Even a single word has to be pondered over and over again in their hearts.
I can no longer act like a spoiled child without any scruples like I did when I was a child.
Shen Qingtan took the bracelet and put it on her wrist, looking up at the long street shrouded in the afterglow of the setting sun. The hustle and bustle faded away, pedestrians hurried by, and the place was quiet and lonely.
Just like him.
The bracelet on her wrist became very heavy, carrying the bond between her and her brother, allowing them to reunite in this strange city.
Shen Qingtan walked slowly towards Qin's Trading Company while picking up the words he wanted to hear.
"Over the years, I have been the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Cheng'en Mansion. The servants in the mansion have never neglected me. I have been raised in luxury."
"They hired a nanny and a teacher for me, who taught me etiquette, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and they also arranged a marriage for me."
"I have never suffered any hardship or suffering." Shen Qingtan stopped and looked at Gu Changsheng, "Brother, you have suffered a lot over the years."
Gu Changsheng cut to the chase and said, "Your husband is seriously ill and won't have much time left."
The implication is: If you really live a good life, why would you marry such a husband?
"I chose it myself." Shen Qingtan smiled and said, "I found my parents, and they support me. If I was dissatisfied with my husband, I could have negotiated a divorce long ago. Why would I go to such great lengths to find a miracle doctor for him?"
Gu Changsheng was silent.
"Brother, I'm home." Shen Qingtan approached him cautiously, but didn't dare to touch him: "It's time for you to go home too."
Gu Changsheng stood where he was. The word "go home" was too unfamiliar to him.
When he left the Gu family, he was thinking about bringing Manman home every moment.
With repeated disappointments and the passage of time, he no longer thought about going home. He just hoped in his heart that she was living well somewhere where he couldn't see her.
Shen Qingtan did not get an answer from Gu Changsheng. Thinking of Gu Zongci who was far away in the capital waiting for his son to come home, she was about to speak when she heard a very light and faint voice ringing in her ears.
"good."
Shen Qingtan couldn't help but smile when he got the answer.
It’s great that the young man who held her tightly in his arms and refused to let go even though the thugs from the opera troupe beat her up is going home too.
This time, they were truly reunited as a family.
Tingxue followed the brother and sister in a trance, and was greatly shocked. The person she thought was up to evil turned out to be her master's brother.
Soon, Tingxue accepted this fact.
The miracle doctor is the master's brother, so the second master can be saved.
-
Considering that someone was secretly chasing Zhong Yuan, Shen Qingtan did not take Gu Changsheng to Wushe Inn, but placed him in Qin's Trading Company.
After she settled Gu Changsheng, she returned to Wushe Inn.
Liu Yue was standing guard at the door of the room. Seeing Shen Qingtan's solemn expression and the look of being troubled, she hurriedly asked, "Second Madam, what happened?"
