After breaking off the marriage, the Zhuangyuan Lang who was picked up was dressed weakly every day

Chapter 117
Even Shen Guci never thought that Qi Yun's cousin Qi Han would suddenly come to the Shen family as a guest.

Like Qi Yun, Qi Han married far away, to Fuzhou.This year, Qi Han took his children with him. The original route was to return to Chengzhou to visit relatives, but they encountered a rare snowstorm that could not be seen in a century. When they reached the boundary of Jiangling Prefecture, the carriage and horses could no longer move forward.When faced with a dilemma, Qi Han was thinking about Qi Yun's only daughter left in the world, so he simply took a boat to the east and dragged his family to Lin'an Mansion.

Facing the Qi family whom Qi Yun admired the most, even though he had been involved in official circles for many years and was always respected only by his students, Shen Guci still did not dare to neglect him in the slightest.

Just like how he respected her when he had nothing.

Standing under the eaves, Qi Han, who is one round older than Qi Yun, has a strong aura. He is wearing a gold embroidered phoenix cloak. His hair is also decorated with thick and long gold hairpins with complicated structures. He is followed by dozens of servants, all of whom are dressed in brocade. Beautiful clothes, this style of behavior really shows the full potential of wealth and wealth.

She raised her chin slightly, and from the corner of her eye she saw a piece of skirt at the corner. She looked at Shen Gu Ci as if she didn't see anyone hiding and eavesdropping.

Shen Guci mentally wiped the sweat from his forehead that seemed to break out involuntarily, and said in a helpless tone: "Jiaojiao, she has been playful and stubborn since she was a child. She insisted on living in the village for a while, and no one else could stop her. This time I don’t want to come back if I go, I really can’t do anything to her.”

Qi Han spoke unceremoniously: "The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and I haven't come home yet. How can a farmhouse be a golden nest? If you go there, you won't come back to this house. Could it be that you got it here? What kind of harsh treatment, what kind of injustice have you suffered, and you don’t want to return it?”

After Qi Han finished speaking, her eldest son Gu Jiang, who was born tall and tall, immediately took a step forward and lifted up his sleeves, as if he was really wronged and wanted to take action to avenge the injustice.

Shen Guci caught a glimpse of the intimidating aura on Gu Jiangtong's body from the corner of his eye, and his heart trembled.

Back then, his father stood in front of him like a wall, rudely threatening that if Qi Yun was wronged in the slightest by his side, he would not spare him, and would kill him no matter how far away he was.

The past is blown away by the wind, like smoke. Qi Yun has passed away long ago, and the person who threatened him has also been buried. Now he once again experienced such a long-lost and humiliating situation that put him at a disadvantage. Shen Guci couldn't tell if he felt sad or lost. Displeased.

"What did the cousin say?"

Shen Guci turned his eyes away, not looking at Qi Han's stern eyes.

If the late eldest brother-in-law was a ruthless person, Qi Han was even worse than him.

Qi Yun's aunt, Qi Han's mother, died young. As the eldest sister, Qi Han acted as both mother and sister to her younger siblings, taking good care of them as they grew up.Later, she met her husband's family who went to Chengzhou for business, but a few years after she got married, something happened to her husband's family again.From then on, while taking care of her husband who was paralyzed in bed, she became a householder and supported the family business.

In this world, the status of women has always been inferior to that of men.In the business world, if the same thing, the same business is done by a woman, not only will the other party not treat her favorably, but she will also act based on others.

In this environment, Qi Han made a decisive decision, sunburned his face, roughened his thin fingers, put on men's clothes, and pretended to be the manager of the Gu family's business. Only then could he talk to his business partners on an equal footing and transfer the family business. develop.

After decades of hard work and hard work, Qi Han, known as "Boss Han", finally turned the Gu family into one of the richest businessmen in Fuzhou, with business throughout the country.In the business world, if you say "Letter to the boss", everyone will be given a bit of a compliment.

He encountered desperate encounters twice, but Qi Han was not crushed, but survived.

Such a woman can be so persevering and tenacious. Shen Guyi still remembers Qi Yun's complicated expression of heartache and admiration every time he received Qi Han's letter.

"I hope our Jiao Jiao can learn her aunt's perseverance, but I'm also afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid she will learn this. As you know, officer, only those who have gone through hardships can be invincible and strong."

"No, Jiao Jiao won't go through this. Don't think too much."

——It was the day of Shen Yanhan's tenth birthday. Qi Yun, who had always been optimistic, felt a rare sadness.

The corners of Shen Guci's mouth tightened.

When Shen Yanhan ran away from home without hesitation, didn't he already learn Qi Han's temperament?

And she learned this not because of her mother Qi Yun.

As Shen Guci thought about it, he seemed to suddenly go back to a few years ago, when he saw Qi Yun looking up at General Liu Qi's face at Washi, his eyes shining like sparks reflected in it, and felt his heart aching.The feeling of guilt just now slowly faded away, and instead, the anger caused by the inferiority complex gradually emerged.

He turned back to look at Qi Han and said in a calm tone: "First cousin, please take a rest. I will send someone to Zhuangzi to ask Jiao Jiao to come back."

Qi Han has been working hard in the business field for many years, and she can't tell the look on someone's face. Shen Guci's eyes were wandering just now, but now they have become much colder. She could instinctively sense that the situation at Shen Yanhan's place was not simple. .

As soon as Shen Gu finished speaking, she smiled and declined politely: "No, there are so many people following me here. It's idle to stay idle. I just ask them to go and run around and get familiar with Lin'an Mansion." Due to the environment, there is no guarantee that one day we will come here to seek wealth. Brother-in-law, let’s go do some work first! It’s really annoying for us to come here.”

He said it was a nuisance, but if he really felt irritated, he would come directly to the door without notifying him.

Shen Gu resigned and said, "You don't have to be polite, cousin, just treat me as if you were at home."

Qi Han laughed happily and said: "Well, with your words, I can rest assured! I am not a person who beats around the bush. The expenses we spend here these days are all paid for by ourselves. .”

Before Shen Gu could refuse, Qi Han tilted his head and said with a stern voice: "Second brother, do you remember?"

The gentle Gu Yan stepped forward and said eloquently: "I've written it down."

Shen Guci's old face turned stiff, and he became increasingly annoyed.

Qi Han acted like a businessman in everything he said, always talking about tacky money, but he couldn't deny that: first, the Qi family's money had funded him and was the basis for his change of life; second, this sudden change in front of him The dozens of mouths that have descended upon them will indeed require a lot of expenditure to support them, and according to Qi Han's always heroic style, if he really has to entertain them all, there will be a lot of bleeding.

The matter of money is actually a faint thorn in Shen Guci's heart. He is clearly noble, but he has a troubled life. He was defeated by the bloody reality when he was young.The reality of the country being ruined and the family being destroyed not only failed to maintain their own dignity, but also reduced them to the point where they could only survive by relying on the help of others.

After becoming successful, how many people really like to recall the hardships they endured when they were inferior to others?

Deep down in his heart, Shen Gu Ci actually wanted to get rid of the memory of when he was in a state of desolation. Since Qi Yun's death, he had been closed to the past in his heart. It had been a long time since he had thought about his helplessness, embarrassment, and desolation. Now he was facing a sudden situation. When Qi Han came, he inevitably seemed to have returned to the time when he was cautious in front of the Qi family.

Qi Han looked at Shen Gu Ci leisurely, seeing that his face was livid and he was too angry to speak.

That year when she returned to Chengzhou to visit relatives, when she met him, he was just a poor boy writing letters for people on the roadside. If her innocent cousin hadn't taken a liking to him and spent money to train him, the Qi family would have been under Shen Guci's care. They helped each other in every possible way in his official career. As a poor scholar, his ability to survive peacefully in troubled times was already the limit. How could he achieve today's glory?

Just after Qi Yun's mourning period, Shen Guyi ignored the secular world and raised the concubine's wife into the main wife. She came into contact with so many people and heard countless anecdotes about wives and concubines competing for favor. After hearing such news, How could we not suspect the half-step-in-law's intentions?

What Qi Han is most worried about is that after the concubine is married, her legitimate daughter, her cousin Shen Yanhan, will be wronged by her new mother.She made a special trip without notifying Shen Guci in advance that she was coming, which really gave her a glimpse of something strange.

Not only is there not a female envoy from the Qi family who came with Qi Yun in this mansion, but Shen Yanhan doesn't even live here!
After Shen Gu resigned, Qi Han looked at the Shen residence decorated with lights and colorful decorations. He closed his eyes to suppress his anger. After opening his eyes, he said sternly to the personal steward: "Go out and find out where the eldest daughter of the Shen family lives now. After finding the person, let her come back as soon as possible, and I will make the decision for her in everything."

The steward lowered his eyebrows and said, "Yes, I'll go right away."

Gu Jiang, who was always restless, said loudly: "Mom, I'll go too."

Qi Han nodded, "Let's go."

The sun's shadow slants to the west, and the sun that briefly appears in winter disappears into the clouds. When the sky changes, it becomes dark again.The wind blew, and snowflakes fell from the sky one after another, soon covering the Lin'an Mansion in Nuoda.

When Shen Gu resigned and returned to the house, Wen Rong had already entered the door before him. When she saw him walking in, she said in a warm voice: "I heard that relatives are coming to the house. Look at how busy I am, and I didn't have time to entertain the guests in time."

"It's okay." Shen Guyi didn't even open his mouth, he mumbled a perfunctory sentence, then quickly walked to the table, poured himself several glasses of cold water, one after another, and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing how impatient he was, Wen Rong slightly curled her lips and stepped forward to rub Shen Guci's shoulders.

Shen Guci closed his eyes and breathed out, enjoying Wen Rong's service that relaxed his muscles and bones. After a while, he whispered: "Is she coming back?"

Wen Rong sneered behind him.

return?

Seeing how Shen Yanhan would rather endure the hardships than receive the money and food she gave her, Mrs. Shen had already thought that she was a member of the Shen family. How could she come back?
Wen Rong sighed and said aggrievedly: "The eldest lady not only refused to accept my things, but also kicked me out of the house."

Shen Guci suddenly opened his eyes and slapped the table, "That's so presumptuous!"

After he finished speaking, he realized that even his incompetent rage was of no use.Shen Yanhan didn't even show up for the Mid-Autumn Festival, Double Ninth Festival, or even his birthday. How is this decisive look different from when Qi Yun turned around and went to Zhuangzi?He even got married privately without even notifying him.

Shen Guci looked down at his fist, and a stream of old blood stuck in his throat.

He wanted to simply stop asking about this daughter who didn't take him seriously and let her do whatever she wanted, but he had to think about the fact that Qi Han was in this house now. If Qi Han knew about the quarrel between Shen Yanhan and him , no matter what the reason is, with the Qi family's tradition of protecting shortcomings, the blame will be on him. If he doesn't say it, I don't know how much trouble it will cause.

Shen Guyi felt a headache when he thought that he was going to lose all his face and that after breaking off the engagement, his family affairs would once again become a joke in Lin'an Mansion.

Wen Rong wanted to add fuel to the fire, but then she said, "Young lady looks like she really likes living in that village..."

Before she could finish her words, Shen Guyi gritted his teeth and interrupted her: "That's all, I'll go and 'please' myself."

Wen Rong took a deep breath, her eyes faintly burning with fire.

It was just a relative from the Qi family who came, not to mention that she had just heard the title, she was Qi Yun's cousin. Shen Guci was frightened after just one day of arrival.

After a long moment of silence, she took her hand back from Shen Guyi's shoulder and said calmly: "When the young lady sees that the official is willing to lower his body to look for her in person, she will definitely feel grateful and come back with the official. The official should rest earlier. Come on, I'll go see Yu'er."

After leaving the house, Wen Rong secretly inquired about Qi Han's identity. When she heard that he was a businessman from Fuzhou, she sneered in her heart.

Businessmen, to put it bluntly, are just country bumpkins with a bit of money. They are nothing in the face of power.

*
Shen Yanhan didn't know that several people in Lin'an Mansion were upset because of her. She only knew that her frail husband was seriously ill, and she was very worried about this.

Staring at Qin Yuehuai's red cheeks, Shen Yanhan frowned deeply, "As the saying goes, we get together when we get along, and we break up when we don't get along. Since your brother from the Tang family was willing to give someone a letter of divorce, he broke up in such an unpleasant way. Well, for Sister Lu, it’s time to stop the loss, but it’s not necessarily a bad thing. What’s there to be angry about? Are you still so angry, is there anything you can do about it?”

She wiped Qin Yuehuai's body and murmured: "You are obviously weak, but you don't know how to cherish it. You are just trying to show off your abilities. Now you are sick again, and I have to spend money to buy you medicine. Do you think Is it easy to make money?"

As he spoke, the scar in front of Qin Yuehuai's body came into view. The young lady's eyes were slightly red, and she finally tightened her lips and said no more.

Suddenly, her little hand holding the veil was held by someone.

Shen Yanhan raised his head in confusion and stared blankly at the face of Lang Jun who was lying there.

He opened his eyes.

The light flickered in the little lady's eyes for a moment, and a flower-like smile bloomed on her fair face, "Shichiro! Are you awake?"

Qin Yuehuai's pale lips twitched, but he failed to pronounce any syllables, but his eyes were fixed on her with deep inquiry.

Seeing his confused expression, Shen Yanhan threw away her handkerchief, stood up, put her face in front of his eyes, and said anxiously: "Are you so sick that you lost your memory again? Qin Yuehuai, do you still remember me? Who is it? I am your wife, you must not forget it!"

Qin Yuehuai faced Shen Yanhan's face close at hand, breathing in her unique breath in his nose, and looked at the incomparable anxiety in her eyes.

At that moment, he had just woken up from the nightmare of piles of family members' bones. He wanted to bury them but couldn't move them. He could only watch them being dragged to the mass graves. The huge helpless feeling filled his bones. His mind was still filled with nightmares. He was so confused that he forgot where he was for a moment, let alone realized who the person in front of him was.

After looking at each other for a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "Jiaojiao...are you crying again?"

Shen Yanhan's long and thick eyelashes trembled like feathers, and her eyes were wet. She wanted to say no, but when she opened her mouth, she let out a sob.

As a result, she couldn't hold back the emotions she still wanted to hold back, and with a whimper, all the grievances she had felt for several days exploded.

Qin Yuehuai let out a long breath, stretched out his hand and pulled her to lie on his back.

Shen Yanhan didn't hold it in any longer, resting her head on the crook of his neck, sobbing and crying until she had runny nose and tears.

Qin Yuehuai patted her back gently, again and again. When Shen Yanhan felt a little calmer, he said, "Okay, I'm fine."

　During my illness, I received warm greetings from my dear friends, and some continued to vote for me. Thank you for your support! (ーωー*＊)оΟ〇If you can’t repay it, just keep updating!
