Shen Yuanshuo was busy until the hour of Yin before he had time to catch his breath. Madam Shen had already woken up. She stared blankly at the candles neatly placed on the round table.
Hearing the noise, she tilted her head in surprise. The moment she saw Shen Yuanshuo, her pale and tired face flashed with ferocious hatred and pity.
Madam Shen cried until her voice was hoarse, and her voice was like a broken bellows gasping in the wind, and she said hoarsely and mockingly: "A Shuo, let mother be alone for a while."
The man glanced at her with a cold face, then raised the corners of his lips and sneered: "Mom, if Big Brother dares to have ideas about Ah Zhi again, I will kill him with my own hands on the seventh day after his death, and his soul will be scattered to pieces."
Cruel words came out of her light-colored lips. Mrs. Shen, who was sitting on the bed with a weak face, could no longer bear it. She raised her hand to grab the candlestick on the small table beside the bed, and threw it at Shen Yuanshuo as if she had lost her strength.
She seemed to have been drained of all her strength. She lay prostrate on the bed, panting heavily. "Evil child! I should have strangled you to death in your cradle!"
"It's you who killed Yuan Wei, it's you who killed my Ah Wei! My son!!"
As she spoke, she covered her mouth and coughed violently several times, her palms filled with a sticky, fishy-sweet taste.
From beginning to end, Shen Yuanshuo was like a bystander, watching her indifferently.
"If you want to blame someone, blame him for still thinking about my wife after we got married," he said firmly, "Besides... Dad poisoned my and my brother's tea every day and night. Mom, do you dare to say you don't know this?!"
...
...
Mrs. Shen and Mr. Shen have a very good relationship. The Shen family has few descendants. The first wife has two brothers, Shen Yuanying and Shen Yuanshuo, while the second wife has no children.
The masters of the first and second wives both had concubines, but no matter how much they took medicine or prayed to Buddha, they just couldn't have children.
Shen Yuanshuo accidentally witnessed the poisoning.
From then on, he was always on guard and didn't dare to take food easily. He and Ah Zhi would personally cook the tea they drank and test it with a silver needle to see if it was poisonous before consuming it.
How could Mrs. Shen, who shared the same bed with Mr. Shen, not know that her lover had poisoned her two favorite sons?
Shen Yuanshuo stared at Madam Shen.
Her lips trembled, and her eyes widened with disbelief and astonishment. Her straight back was completely bent, and her temples were covered with white frost. She seemed to have aged by a dozen years.
Mrs. Shen really didn't know that the husband she had loved for half her life would poison her two sons.
She shook her head violently, and the blood that had not been wiped clean from the corner of her mouth dripped down: "Impossible...Impossible!"
"How could Wang Zhi poison you two brothers! Are you going to frame your eldest brother just because of this ridiculous speculation?!"
Wangzhi, Mr. Shen’s name.
Shen Yuanshuo raised a sarcastic smile, but before he could refute, his sharp ears caught the sound of dull footsteps coming from outside the courtyard.
He looked at the old woman who was in self-doubt and said, "Since you don't believe it, why not ask in person?"
Chen Yuanshuo swallowed his impatience, turned around and opened the door, tilting his head slightly: "I never thought of framing my eldest brother, even if he spied on my wife. I didn't order anyone to make that bowl of medicinal soup, and whether mother believes it or not is none of my business."
His words were like a knife, cutting Mrs. Shen's heart fiercely, causing her fingertips to tremble with pain and anger.
Chen Yuanshuo raised his hand to open the door and looked over.
In the Shen Mansion, which had an exquisite layout and excellent feng shui, no one noticed the strangeness of the interlaced red and white lanterns.
Under the dim light, Mr. Shen, who was shrouded in cold air, paused and hurried forward to the door.
"How is your mother?"
His mental state did not seem to be particularly good. Shen Yuanshuo narrowed his shrewd eyes and calmly saw the stiffness at the corners of his mouth and the thin layer of concern in his eyes that could be broken at any moment.
The answer was very clear and Mr. Shen responded. He hurriedly told him to go back and pushed the door open.
Shen Yuanshuo did not walk far. His footsteps were light and landed silently.
There seemed to be a quarrel in the room, followed by a heart-wrenching cry.
After leaving the front yard, Shen Yuanshuo walked in front, took the lantern from the servant and walked hurriedly.
A light snow began to fall in the dark night, and the day they got married was the second snow of the year.
The scattered snowflakes in the sky were like fluffy balls, playfully falling between the man's cold eyebrows. A lot of them stuck to his half-erect black hair, melting into the fox fur and black hair.
Back in my own courtyard, the room was quiet.
Shen Yuanshuo pushed open the door, and a wave of heat hit him in the face.
The charcoal fire in the corner was burning brightly. He stepped back from the door and followed the servant and maid who were about to come in to serve him, and took off his plush cloak.
The snowflakes on the tips of her long eyelashes that were about to fall off melted instantly, and her black eyelashes were wet and formed into clumps.
It was only when he stepped into the inner room that he noticed the girl breathing rapidly.
"Azhi?!"
Shen Yuanshuo hurried forward and just as he held the person in his arms, Lu Zhi woke up.
Seeing that it was Shen Yuanshuo, she landed on the ground with a strange and steady heart: "I dreamed of my elder sister."
Her voice was hoarse, and the dark blue marks on her neck were exposed to the man's eyes when her collar was crossed.
Shen Yuanshuo's eyes were instantly filled with coldness. He gently rubbed her neck. When he heard her faint breath, the corners of his mouth raised in a strange arc.
He straightened his lips before Lu Zhi raised his eyes in pain: "Azhi, come with me to Dayin Temple tomorrow."
Knowing that he was entangled in something dirty, Lu Zhi naturally nodded quickly.
It would be best if we could kill that frivolous pervert in one fell swoop and make her feel sick to her stomach.
It took quite a while to get some water for a bath.
The two of them were tossed around until the middle of the night, and now they were lying on a bed, hugging each other and sleeping.
At first, Lu Zhi was a little shy and at a loss, so she could only lie on her back stiffly. The steady and weak breathing of the man beside her was magical, and gradually, her eyelids became heavy, and she fell asleep completely in a few breaths.
After tossing and turning at the Lu family, Lu Zhi, who often suffered from insomnia, finally had a good night's sleep after a long time.
After she fell asleep, the man who had closed his eyes and pretended to sleep opened his eyes. His eyes were clear and there was no trace of sleepiness.
His burning gaze carefully traced the delicate features of the girl beside him, winding from her dark eyebrows, across her small nose, and onto her red lips.
A rustling sound was heard, and the man lifted the thick quilt covering his body, reached forward with his big hands and pulled the woman into his arms.
The bed is very wide and large, more than enough for four people to lie on it.
There is room for two people between Lu Zhi and Chen Yuanshuo.
"It's still warmer this way... I won't catch a cold." Shen Yuanshuo murmured as he frantically made up excuses for himself, completely forgetting the burning charcoal and his hot body.
In a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, Lu Zhi always felt as if a fire-breathing dragon was tightly wrapped around her, wrapping her tightly and making her struggle constantly with the heat.
When I opened my eyes, it was bright daylight.
Facing the Adam's apple rolling in front of him, Lu Zhi blinked in confusion and slowly moved his gaze downwards.
When her fingertips touched his chest, she felt as if burned by the fiery scene. She quickly withdrew her hand, shrank her head like a quail, and buried herself under the quilt, breathing softly.
A short, teasing chuckle floated from overhead, and Lu Zhi's ears turned even redder.
She couldn't understand why she, who slept in a very ladylike and proper posture, could shamelessly roll into Chen Yuanshuo's arms.
The maids who heard the noise came in with water and served Lu Zhi. Shen Yuanshuo did it himself.
After changing into a simple light green dress, Lu Zhi sat in front of the dressing mirror and watched the maid quietly flip the flowers and tie her hair into a dignified and elegant bun.
After choosing matching jewelry, putting on some simple make-up and lip balm, the pretty girl in the mirror smiled and dazzled the man's eyes.
"Let's go. Don't let our parents wait anxiously."
Before leaving, Shen Yuanshuo took the rabbit fur cloak from the maid and put it on Lu Zhi. His slender fingers circled the cloak and tied a perfect bow.
He smiled and held out his hand.
Lu Zhi raised her hand and he held it tightly in his hand.
Two hands clasped together were hidden under the wide sleeves, and the snow was still falling.
