Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 355 Devotion ([-])

Shen Yuechen went back to the west courtyard with some concerns, and saw children chasing and playing around in the courtyard from a distance.

Brother Ming ran so fast that the maids behind him couldn't catch up with her at all. Zhu Ying and Zhu Xiao also chased after him, yelling "Brother wait for me, brother wait for me."

Zhu Xiao learned the tongue very well, seeing Zhu Ying call Brother Ming "brother", she also called "brother".

Shen Yuechen smiled slightly, and inadvertently caught sight of a figure in the corridor, and after a closer look, he discovered that it was Mrs. Cao.

After careful calculation, she hadn't seen her for quite a while.

Mrs. Cao stood on the porch, turned her body slightly, only showing half of her face.

Her eyes were fixed on Zhu Ying all the time, and there was a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

Seeing this, Shen Yuechen's heart moved slightly.

She deliberately pretended not to see Mrs. Cao, but just waved at the children.

Hearing the sound, Zhu Ying pulled her sister and walked over with a smile, and called sweetly: "Mother".

Shen Yuechen smiled and touched the children's heads, and when she raised her head again, she found that Mrs. Cao had disappeared.

After returning to the house, Shen Yuechen called Chun Ming to him, and asked, "What are the aunts in the yard doing lately?"

Chunming thought for a while before saying: "Aunt Cao has been doing needlework all the time, and occasionally asks someone to sell it in the market outside. It seems that she is short of money. As for Liu and Wang, they are still the same, and they take care of each other every day. Eat and sleep, don't worry about anything."

When Shen Yuechen heard that Cao's money was short, she couldn't help being a little concerned and said, "Why is Cao's short of money? Does she want to buy something?"

Chunming blinked her eyes when she heard the words, and said in a low voice: "Grandma, there is one thing that this servant has never told you, that is, the women in the yard like to play small cards and gamble money when they are free. So... Although gambling money is not good, but small gambling is fun. They are all rough people who are used to rough work. I will get together with them, I guess I lost some money, so I don’t have enough money.”

Shen Yuechen knew early on that the servants in the yard would gather to gamble together, this kind of thing was very common, especially during the New Year's Eve, once the masters gave out rewards, they couldn't stay idle.

Shen Yuechen didn't care too much about women's gambling, but she was a little surprised that Mrs. Cao even gambled.

"Aunt Cao wants to save face so much. If she loses money, she must be embarrassed to talk to you, grandma, so she does some sewing and wants to sell it for money." Chunming added.

A lot of things happened inside and outside before, and Zhu Jintang even went through a life-and-death test before returning safely.Moreover, after he came back, he didn't touch anyone except Shen Yuechen.

Those three aunts had already become decorations of Zhu's family, and they only had a false name.

Chun Ming secretly thought: If a woman is too lonely, she must find a way to have some fun and pass the time.It is estimated that Aunt Cao is so addicted.

Shen Yuechen murmured slightly: "Apart from these, have they acted abnormally lately?"

Chunming was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Nothing unusual, what are you worried about, Miss?"

She could feel that Shen Yuechen seemed to be in a bad mood, but she wasn't sure why.

"It's nothing, it's just because of He's affairs, remind me, don't be too careless at any time. Since last year, the uncle has been very cold towards Cao's and the others. Women are always jealous, so I'm a little worried .”

Shen Yuechen expressed her thoughts quietly, which was also out of trust in Chun Ming.

After Chunming got married, her heart was completely at ease. She knew that she and her husband Zhu Liu would depend on the young master and grandma for the rest of their lives.Therefore, she must do her best to protect the interests of the eldest grandma, because only when she lives comfortably can she and her husband live comfortably.

"Miss, I just realized this, you are worried that someone will secretly harm someone like Second Mistress..."

Shen Yuechen gently caressed her stomach and said, "People's hearts are separated by belly, even if they live in the same courtyard, it's hard to guess what the other person is thinking? The uncle has neglected them for so long, will they have no thoughts at all?"

If she hadn't married before, Chun Ming would only think that the young lady was careless.

Even though Mrs. Cao and the others were not convinced in their hearts, they had to accept their fate due to reality.After all, the young lady is the main wife, and she is deeply loved by the elders and the uncle. They should have self-knowledge and know that they are invincible.

However, Chunming is now married and a woman, with different identities and positions, so her attitude towards things has also changed.Therefore, Chunming has made up her mind not to allow Zhu Liu to take a concubine, because she really can't bear to share her husband with other women.

Chunming wholeheartedly wanted to solve Shen Yuechen's worries and problems, do something, and then prove her worth and her vision was right.

"Miss, don't worry, the servant will send someone to watch for you. If someone dares to be presumptuous, the servant will definitely give them a good look."

Shen Yuechen knew that she was eager to make contributions, so he quickly waved his hands and said, "Don't act rashly, just send a few more maids to watch over it. There is also gambling, you can't just let them go like this, let those managers be more peaceful, Don't be too unscrupulous, since it's not the New Year's Eve, without the master's permission, they are not allowed to gamble at will."

Chunming hurriedly answered yes.

After explaining a few more trivial matters, Shen Yuechen let Chunming go down.

The yard has already started to get busy early, and Zhu Jintang has already gone outside to run around. He said that he will meet with several shopkeepers to discuss matters in a few days, so he will come back very late at night.

Sure enough, as he said.When Zhu Jintang came back, it was already one watch.

He smelled heavily of alcohol, as if he had drunk a lot.

Shen Yuechen hadn't slept soundly all this time, and when she heard the news of his return, she sat up and asked, "Is the uncle back?"

Cui Xin raised the curtain and said, "Yes, the uncle seems to be drunk."

Seeing him staggering in, Shen Yuechen hurriedly said, "Hurry up and support him, and pay attention to his feet."

Zhu Jintang was rarely so drunk. Although his consciousness was still clear, his feet were no longer in control.

Shen Yuechen came out with his clothes on, shook his head slightly and said, "Why did you drink so much?"

Zhu Jintang seemed to be in a good mood, he opened his arms, walked straight to Shen Yuechen, hugged her without saying a word, and laughed.

The maids were shocked when they saw this. "Uncle, you can't do it, be careful about Grandma's body..."

Shen Yuechen also panicked, and grabbed his shoulders tightly with both hands. Fortunately, Zhu Jintang only supported her lower body, and didn't touch her protruding belly.

Zhu Jintang didn't intend to let her go, but hugged her even tighter, making eye contact with her.

"If I had known you were still awake, I wouldn't have sat in the yard for so long."

Shen Yuechen didn't dare to move, and could only anxiously say: "Master, you put me down first."

Hearing this, Zhu Jintang put her down slowly, and then hiccupped.

Shen Yuechen tapped his shoulder lightly, "Master, go wash it up."

Zhu Jintang nodded, and repeated to himself, "It's time to wash up."

The maids all went to clean the room to help, Shen Yuechen handed the pajamas prepared in advance to Cui Xin and said, "Don't let the old man change his clothes before coming out, so as not to catch a cold."

Cui Xin took the clothes and couldn't help feeling a little nervous: "Miss, this is the first time I've seen you so drunk."

Shen Yuechen sighed lightly: "Something must have happened? It might be a good thing."

Zhu Jintang is usually a very self-disciplined person, and he drinks too much.He doesn't like to drink too much, and he doesn't like to indulge himself, so something must have happened to him today, and it's worth drinking to his heart's content.

Zhu Jintang was so drunk that he almost fell asleep in the clean room.

It took him half an hour just to take a shower. When he came out, he was still not sober, but at least he didn't smell so drunk.

Shen Yuechen spread the quilt for him, wanting him to rest directly, but he didn't feel sleepy, he held Shen Yuechen's face with both hands, and pressed against her cheek, feeling that her breath was blue, like a crabapple flower fragrant.

Her breath was lightly exhaled on his chest, the soft breath was like a feather, just touching it lightly could make him distracted.

Zhu Jintang's sudden action made Shen Yuechen flushed.

Is this a hint?With her face lowered, she said softly: "The doctor has said that the concubine cannot have intercourse."

Zhu Jintang sighed, but rubbed her into his arms even harder.

It was so hot, with the effect of alcohol, his whole body was filled with hot and dry feeling, as if it was about to catch fire.

The feeling of being burned by fire is not good.He instinctively wanted to vent, but he didn't dare to do anything to her, because she was pregnant with his child, no matter what, he couldn't do anything to hurt her...

Shen Yuechen could feel his hotness and forbearance, she reached out her hands and patted his back lightly.

Zhu Jintang, with a hint of drunkenness, said, "Don't move, don't move for a moment, just stay like this, stay here..."

Zhu Jintang tried his best to regain his composure. He knew that he could control himself, and he must control himself.

The maids had already avoided going out with winks, but Cui Xin was still a little worried, and stayed at the door, listening to the movement inside.

She dared not forget Doctor Lu's explanation.Fortunately, there was no movement in the room, and Cui Xin breathed a sigh of relief.

Candles were shining brightly, and in a room full of fragrance, there were only two figures cuddling each other.

Zhu Jintang's self-control still defeated the desire mixed with drunkenness.

He stroked Shen Yuechen's long hair, and whispered in her ear: "If there is a next time, you must let the maids look at the door and don't let me in."
