Mrs. Jiang Hou was preparing to go to the toilet when suddenly someone covered her mouth from behind and dragged her into the darkness next to her.

Such a sudden change made Mrs. Jiang Hou so frightened that she forgot to resist for a moment. She was dragged aside in a daze, and then she started struggling in fear. Just as she was about to call for help, a familiar voice came from behind: "Weiwei,

Don't scream."

Mrs. Jiang Hou took a deep breath, put down her grabbing hands and stopped moving.

The person behind her also let go of her, and when she looked back, it was Shi Shaohua.

The face that she had been thinking about suddenly appeared in front of her, and she felt as if she was in a dream: "Shaohua, it's been so long, where have you been, and why are you here now?"

Shi Shaohua was stunned for a moment. He keenly discovered that Mrs. Jiang Hou didn't know that he had eloped with Jiang Miaodan.

That's right, once Jiang Lin found out about this matter, he would definitely cover it up, and Mrs. Jiang Hou and Shen Zhifeng had been hiding in the inn, so naturally they would not know the truth.

He breathed a sigh of relief, with a sad expression on his face: "It's a long story, and I came back with great difficulty. Weiwei, how are you doing?"

Hearing Shi Shaohua's greetings and looking at his obviously thin face, Mrs. Jianghou finally couldn't help but shed tears.

Shen Zhifeng only had power and children in his heart, and didn't care about her at all. Although the two of them were lying together, they were in the same bed and had different dreams, and they didn't even care about that aspect.

Of course, she wouldn't know that Shen Zhifeng didn't want it, but couldn't afford it.

"Shaohua, I'm not doing well, please take me and the child away." Mrs. Jianghou choked and threw herself into Shi Shaohua's arms.

Shi Shaohua's brows jumped sharply.

How is that possible? He finally returned to Kyoto and vowed to live a wealthy life and never leave again.

Therefore, he decided to go back to the Marquis Mansion with Mrs. Jiang Hou. When autumn came, he would pretend to be sick and not attend. However, Jiang Miaodan's matter had to be dealt with according to the circumstances.

"Weiwei, I don't want to be separated from you and the child, but there's no other way. Look at how haggard you are now. It makes me heartbroken. In a few days, you can go back to the Hou Mansion. We can still be like before.

Is that good?”

Shi Shaohua looked at Mrs. Jiang Hou affectionately and comforted her.

"What should we do with the child? Should Shen Zhifeng be brought back to the palace?" Mrs. Jianghou hesitated.

Of course, she just got emotional and said that she was unwilling to go far away after being homeless for so long. She just wanted to return to the Marquis Mansion and continue to be her Madam Marquis.

Shi Shaohua's eyes flashed, maybe sending the child back home would not go so smoothly, but he could try again.

He eventually walked back to the original path.

The two exchanged some words of friendship, and fearing that Shen Zhifeng would find anything unusual, Mrs. Jianghou went to the toilet first and then went back.

Shi Shaohua stared at the night sky in the yard for a long time. When he returned to the room, Jiang Miaodan was snoring. She was sleeping with her arms stretched out, almost occupying the entire bed. He didn't wake her up, but just leaned on the chair and sat down.

Just one night.

He still had feelings for Jiang Miaodan, but lamented that they were born at the wrong time, and being together would only make them miserable.

His last tenderness was probably due to the fact that he had not touched her for so long. The two of them just slept together every day, but there was no real relationship between husband and wife. At first, he just hoped to stay until the wedding night, but now it seems that after all, when Jiang Miaodan gets married,

, you won’t be looked down upon by your husband’s family just because you didn’t fall red.

In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Miaodan returned to his house first.

If the two of them went back together, it would be too eye-catching.

Most of the servants in the Hou Mansion did not know the truth at all. They only heard that Jiang Miaodan went out to the temple to pray for Mrs. Jiang Hou.

When everyone saw Jiang Miaodan, who was plainly dressed, with a dull face and a thin body, they couldn't help but sigh. Although the eldest lady was a bit unruly, she still had a deep mother-daughter love for Mrs. Hou. At first glance, she was praying in the temple, and the temple was bitterly cold.

Such a place, no wonder it is like this.

However, Jiang Miaodan's personal maid knew the truth. When she saw the young lady finally coming back, they hugged each other and cried bitterly.

Jiang Miaodan couldn't wait to clean up, put on her previous skirt, lay on the couch, and then breathed a sigh of relief as if she had just woken up from a dream.

She asked timidly: "Where's my brother? Is he angry when he finds out I'm gone?"

The maid looked a little ugly: "The prince is naturally angry, but young lady, you are his beloved sister. You have finally returned home. If you say a few soft words, it will probably be over."

She did not dare to say that Jiang Lin's furious look scared everyone in the Hou Mansion and trembled.

"Where is my brother now? Why didn't he come to see me?" Jiang Miaodan breathed a sigh of relief. She also felt that Jiang Lin would not have the heart to blame her.

I was confused for a while, and now I'm back.

"The prince is out. I heard that he is going to the racecourse with the third prince." The maid poured tea for Jiang Miaodan and said: "Miss, you are gone, don't you know, the prince and princess of the Northern Li Kingdom are here in Kyoto.

For a few days, the prince went out every day to accompany them around the capital."

So that's it, Jiang Miaodan blinked, and she thought to herself, that's fine. She doesn't know how to explain it to her brother. She can wait until he comes back in the evening.

On Shi Shaohua's side, he was still staying in the inn. As soon as Jiang Miaodan left, he officially entered the room opposite.

Shen Zhifeng was extremely surprised: "Shaohua, why have you disappeared for so long?"

Mrs. Jianghou had seen him last night, but she still pretended to be ignorant at this moment: "Yes, Shaohua, we are all worried about you, what happened?"

Shi Shaohua sighed and said solemnly: "Last time I went to the Duke's Mansion, I didn't expect the eldest lady to stop me. Not only did I not see the old lady, I was also driven out of Beijing by the eldest lady's people. I finally came back.

!”

"What, Shen Qingyun, that rebellious girl, I knew she must have done something good!" Shen Zhifeng was furious, and he did not even doubt what Shi Shaohua said. After all, he had long suspected that Shen Qingyun was causing trouble.

Shi Shaohua's current appearance is a good confirmation of his words. Even Mrs. Jiang Hou believed what he said.

He thought for a long time last night and decided to blame Shen Qingyun for everything. They would not confront Shen Qingyun anyway.

"It's okay for me to suffer a little, but what should I do next?" Shi Shaohua asked sincerely.

Shen Zhifeng thought for a while: "We have to find a way to avoid Shen Qingyun's eyes and ears, and contact the old lady. As long as the old lady knows, it will be easy for us."

Mrs. Jiang Hou asked timidly: "What about me? I think I have almost recovered. I can go back to the Hou Mansion first."

"That's fine, Weiwei, you have suffered by following me, don't worry, I will compensate you when everything settles." Shen Zhifeng looked touched, and at the end, he said: "There is no money here either.
