Reborn Noble Daughter and First Wife

Chapter 170
The clouds in the sky are already bright red. It seems that today we have to go all the way at night, and it will be dark when we arrive at the next inn.

Shen Congjia raised the curtain of the sedan chair and was a little frightened when he saw Gu Qinglian in the corner of the sedan chair.Suddenly, with a burst of pity, he got into the sedan chair and hugged Gu Qinglian, whispering: "It's over, don't be afraid." Shen Congjia hugged Gu Qinglian even tighter when he said this.

Gu Qinglian felt a kind of fear that she had never experienced before. If she was going to die or live before, she had never been so afraid like today.She had contradicted Mrs. Shen, gossiping with the emperor, and so on, but she had never been so frightened as she is today.If it were changed, no one would be reconciled to being the victim of the robbers.

At this moment, Shen Congjia was gently hugging her in her arms again, a strong sense of contrast gave Gu Qinglian infinite care and a sense of security.

"It's over, Lian'er! Go to sleep!" Shen Congjia put Gu Qinglian on his body, and pillowed Gu Qinglian's body in his arms.Gu Qinglian fell asleep in Shen Congjia's arms with exhaustion.

Watching Gu Qinglian slowly fall asleep, Shen Congjia's heart flashed a trace of satisfaction.

At noon on the second day, Shen's motorcade finally arrived in Jiacheng, after a night's rest and the morning rush.All the way from Kyoto to Jiacheng, the servants and followers were exhausted.

Jia Lu encountered robbers, and several servants and Shen Congjia were injured.When they arrived at the Gu mansion, Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu and the family members of the mansion went out to the front yard to welcome them.Seeing the frightened Gu Qinglian and the two elders felt even more distressed. Seeing the two elders, Gu Qinglian didn't know what to say, sobbing head-on in Mrs. Gu's arms, which made everyone feel sad.

The Gu family made proper arrangements for the people from the Shen family and the supplies and horses.

Gu Qinglian, who had finished changing and washing, was wearing a top with a pipa lapel and a fine brocade gown of Yunyan, a fresh and dignified lady's attire.Shen Congjia, who took off his battle robe, put on a purple-blue Luoyi, his hair was tied up with gold hairpins, and he exuded an extraordinary aura while being personable.

During the luncheon, Mr. Gu and his wife suppressed Shen Congjia and Gu Qinglian. Mr. Gu ordered someone to dig out the 30-year-old Daughter Red from under the osmanthus tree in the back garden.

"Thank you, father-in-law, for your hospitality!" Shen Congjia's expression remained the same when he saw Master Gu's resignation at home.

"Husband-in-law, you don't need to be too polite! This is because I was just a playful person before I became an official 30 years ago. I stole a few jars of fine wine from my father and buried them quietly in the backyard." The official was so busy that he forgot about it. A few days ago, I was watching birds and flowers in the back garden. Seeing this tree planted by my grandfather reminded me of many past events. This reminds me of the wine hidden under the old osmanthus tree! Haha~~!"

"Father-in-law has worked hard all his life and devoted himself to the court. Now that he returns home, he can take care of himself!" Shen Congjia raised the jug and poured wine for Master Gu first.

I saw that the daughter's red wine was clear and transparent, the color of the wine was amber, and the aroma of the wine was so strong that it penetrated into her heart.Shen Congjia held the fine nectar, which was about the same age as himself, and couldn't help but not intoxicate everyone, and filled his father-in-law's glass with every step.

"Dear son-in-law, don't be greedy for a drink. The journey is bumpy, and you are wounded by a knife, so you should drink less. These days, you can recuperate at home!" Master Gu looked at Shen Congjia with blurred eyes, and asked with great concern.

"Father-in-law, don't worry, this red injury is not a problem. Father-in-law, just have fun!" Shen Congjia looked drunk, because of the bumpy road these days, he was a little tired and a little bit overwhelmed.Tongue curls up a bit when speaking.

"What are you trying to do! You can't drink anymore! You're still making jokes here!" Gu Qinglian looked at the injured Shen Congjia who was still here to entertain the drinking party, feeling a little bit sorry and distressed in her heart, so she ignored the drunken atmosphere , interrupted suddenly.

What are you talking about?How can you speak here! "Shen Congjia was dissatisfied with Gu Qinglian's words just now, with a trace of reproach in his expression.

Mrs. Gu saw that Master Gu and Shen Congjia were drinking too much, and while persuading Master Gu to take a rest, she said to Shen Congjia's personal attendant: "It's getting late, General Shen has been working hard all the way and was injured, so he should rest earlier. Bar!"

Gu Qinglian returned to her boudoir, and Shen Congjia was also helped in, followed by Mrs. Gu.

"Mother, I want to sleep with you tonight!" Gu Qinglian intentionally made friends with Mrs. Gu in order to conceal her ignorance of the Gu family.

"Going back to your mother's house, there's no reason to sleep separately. You'd better take care of your husband!" Mrs. Gu prolonged her tone on purpose, it was already clear that Shen Congjia and Gu Qinglian would sleep in the same room tonight.

But soon Gu Qinglian realized that Shen Congjia was still injured, and she would be fine tonight and even the next few days.

With a flush on her face, Gu Qinglian lowered her face and helped Shen Congjia into the room.

A personal attendant called in clear water, and Gu Qinglian helped Shen Congjia take off his robe slowly, and found a purple-black scar on Shen Congjia's right arm that was particularly conspicuous.The attendant washed the blood scab with clean water, and then applied the golden sore medicine to the wound.

During the whole process, Shen Congjia didn't show any discomfort, and Gu Qinglian nervously wrapped up the wound where the ointment was applied with a white silk cloth.Being careful, she must have never seen such a long scar, and a dense layer of sweat oozed from her forehead.Gu Qinglian looked at Shen Congjia's handsome face, at this moment he was so charming in front of her eyes.

Shen Congjia was already exhausted due to the exhaustion of the journey and the encounter with the robbers.At this time, in Gu Qinglian's arms, she fell asleep like a baby.

The attendant made the bed, turned off the big lamp, lit the small lamp, and slowly left the room.

At this time, only Shen Congjia and Gu Qinglian were leaning on each other, recalling the past events they had experienced.Gu Qinglian was a little moved by the man beside her, and every time her self-willedness and persistence were tolerated by this man.In this feudal society where men are superior to women and maidservants, it is rare to see a man with such a big heart.Gu Qinglian knew that she changed Shen Congjia and Shen Congjia also changed herself.

Gu Qinglian helped Shen Congjia take off his shoes, socks and trousers, and laid him flat on the mattress.

Sitting by the bed, she took off her robe, beat her sore arms, climbed onto the bed by the corner and fell asleep.
