The little dark guard who travels between two lives

Chapter 8 Different Childhood Sweethearts

Yu Huaian asked Qin Mingxuan: "What's wrong with the little girl? She looks like she has lost her soul." Upon hearing this, Thirteen felt even more guilty. If he was not the real Xinhe, and his soul occupied Madam Xinhe's body, then the person standing in front of them would be the Xinhe who had lost her soul, right?

The more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt. Thirteen finally came to his senses and threw himself into Ji Wanran's arms, pretending to be shy so that no one would notice anything.

Thirteen secretly looked at Yu Shen in Ji Wanran's arms. Sure enough, Yu Shen's dark eyes were looking straight at him. There was no concern in his eyes, but they were still cold. In his previous life, he heard that the Prime Minister and his wife grew up together as childhood sweethearts and had a very good relationship.

However, the way Yu Shen looked at me today was so cold and indifferent, even with a hint of disgust. Was the friendship between the two of them that I had heard about as childhood sweethearts just a rumor?

But he had actually seen how Yu Shen took good care of Xin He in his previous life, and it was not fake at all. Thirteen was very distressed.

In fact, ever since her soul was reborn in Xin He's body, she has always wanted to be the real Xin He. Yes, she envied Xin He. In her previous life, she envied Xin He for having Yu Shen's care and love. In this life, she envied Xin He for having the love of her mother and father. All of this was something she had never had.

She was indeed Mrs. Xinhe now, and enjoyed the love from her mother and father, but Yu Shen in this life had become like this. Thirteen didn't understand the way Yu Shen looked at her.

When Ji Wanran heard Yu Huaian say the words "lost soul", she remembered her daughter's appearance when she just woke up, and she couldn't help but feel a lingering fear. She gently patted her daughter's back and said, "Nannan had a close call with death this time and was lucky enough to survive. After falling into the water, she had a high fever and was unconscious for several days. Mingxuan and I were scared to death."

Yu Huaian looked at Qin Mingxuan jokingly: "I heard that this incident is related to your sister Su. In my opinion, you should marry her off quickly. What's the point of leaving such a delicate sister in the mansion? I've heard some rumors outside."

Yu Huaian was a straightforward and unrestrained person, and he teased Qin Mingxuan in front of Ji Wanran and the two children. Qin Mingxuan's face immediately changed color, and while stopping Yu Huaian from continuing to speak, he looked at Ji Wanran's face and said, "Brother Huaian, the children are still here, why are you talking nonsense?"

Ji Wanran still felt resentful. She glared at Qin Mingxuan and stood up. "Master Yu hasn't been here for a long time. I'll go and make arrangements. Master Yu and Shen'er will stay here for lunch. You two can go to the study. I'll send the maid to invite you when the meal is ready."

After that, she looked at Thirteen with a smile and said, "Nannan, your brother Shen'er hasn't been here for a long time, you two can go to the garden and play for a while." After that, she told the maids to keep an eye on the two children, especially not to go to the waterside.

Thirteen looked at his brother Shen. Oh, this is the future Prime Minister, and now he has become his brother Shen. What a strange feeling! Thirteen still stared at Yu Shen blankly, not daring to call him brother or speak.

Yu Shen bowed to Ji Wanran and said, "Thank you, Master's wife. I will definitely look after Sister Xinhe." Facing Ji Wanran, Yu Shen's eyes were full of admiration and he was respectful and polite. In front of Ji Wanran, he took Xinhe's chubby little hand and said with a smile, "Let's go, Sister Xinhe."

Looking at Yu Shen, who was so kind and friendly, holding his hand and walking out in a proper manner, Shisan wondered if the indifference he saw in Yu Shen's eyes just now was an illusion?

Shisan was led by Yu Shen's hand like a puppet and walked out of the house towards the back garden. It was obvious that Yu Shen was very familiar with the terrain of the Qin Mansion. Even Shisan, who had just passed through, didn't know where the garden was, but Yu Shen led her into the garden with familiarity.

As soon as he entered the garden, Yu Shen looked back at the maids and servants and said coldly, "Keep an eye on your young lady. I have something to do in the study. Don't disturb me."

After saying that, he let go of Shisan's little hand, glanced at her coldly, and was about to leave. Shisan was anxious. This change of face was too fast. In front of his mother, he was respectful and polite, and treated him with kindness, but in a moment he turned into a cold and icy Master Yu. Is this what is called childhood sweethearts?

She boldly grabbed Yu Shen's sleeve and said, "Big...big brother, where are you going? Didn't mother want Nannan to play with big brother?"

Yu Shen impatiently shook off Shisan's hand: "Hmph, I don't want you to accompany me." After saying that, he turned around and ran into the garden, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

Thirteen looked at Yu Shen's receding back with loss, feeling extremely depressed. It turned out that even though he occupied Madam Xinhe's body and became Madam Xinhe, the lady still didn't like him.

Thirteen pursed her lips, feeling like crying. She looked at the bewildered maids and servants beside her, and quickly straightened her face and stroked her bun to pretend that she was not embarrassed: "Big brother has something to do. You are not allowed to tell mother about what happened just now, otherwise... otherwise I will beat you with a stick."

The maids and servants nearby had faced this kind of situation between the young master and the young lady more than once or twice. Every time, the young lady wanted to play with Master Yu, but Master Yu despised the young lady. The young lady was angry but knew to cover up for Master Yu. They quickly responded, "Yes. We will never say anything."

Thirteen looked at the scenery in the garden and lost the mood to play. Daddy and uncle were discussing something in the study, and he couldn't disturb them. He decided to go find his mother.

But if my mother asked me why I didn't follow Yu Shen, what should I say? I couldn't look for my mother either, so I just strolled in the garden.

Thirteen thought of Yu Shen's indifference to him, felt aggrieved and puzzled, and wandered around the yard in a sullen mood. After turning around a rockery, Thirteen heard two servants talking in the bushes, and seemed to hear the names of Lord Yu and Yu Shen.

She turned around and motioned to the maids and old women to stand back, while she lifted her skirt and quietly hid behind the flowers and trees to eavesdrop.

The maids and old women couldn't help laughing when they saw their fat young lady lying behind a rockery, sticking her little butt out and eavesdropping seriously in the corner.

The young lady immediately turned her head and put a chubby little finger to her lips to signal them to keep quiet. Such a chubby little person insisted on acting like an adult, which made the maids and old women laugh so hard that they felt uncomfortable trying to hold back their laughter.

Ignoring the old women, Thirteen pricked up his ears to listen to the gossip of the two servants, and indeed they were talking about Yu Huaian and his son.

"Hey, did you know that Mr. Yu came again today? I think he looks like a good kid, why are some people saying he is a disaster?"

"You may not know, but when the child was born, her mother, Madam Yu, died of complications during childbirth. Lord Yu and Madam Yu, like our Lord and Madam, have known each other since childhood and have a very good relationship. Lord Yu is a little angry with his own son."

"Madam Yu had been unable to conceive for several years after she got married. It was many years later that she finally became pregnant with this Yu child. However, when she was three months pregnant, a wandering Taoist priest passed by the Yu residence and calculated that the child's fate was incompatible with that of the master and the lady, and that he was a disaster star. After the child was born, he would bring misfortune to his father and mother."

"No way, is this true? This Taoist priest is so vicious. How can an unborn child say that?" Thirteen also nodded in agreement. This Taoist priest is so vicious. How could he talk nonsense like that?

"Who says it's not true? At that time, Lord Yu was furious and ordered his servants to kick the Taoist priest out of the mansion. But the old lady of the Yu mansion believed it and insisted that Madam Yu abort the child."

"What mother would be willing to abort the child?" "Yes, I heard that Madam Yu is very kind to others. How could she bear to do that to her own child? Madam Yu is determined not to abort the child."

"What is Lord Yu's attitude?" one of the servants continued to ask. This was also the question Thirteen wanted to ask. Today in the front hall, it could be seen that Lord Yu and Yu Shen's attitudes were not harmonious. It could be seen that Lord Yu treated Yu Shen coldly, not at all as lovingly as his father treated him.

"I heard that Lord Yu also believed it a little bit. Mainly because Lord Yu loved Madam Yu and was afraid that something bad would happen to her. So Lord Yu also persuaded Madam Yu to abort the child, but Madam Yu still didn't want to."

"So, Madam Yu was determined to give birth to the child. However, she had a difficult labor on the day of delivery. I heard that she had a hemorrhage. The imperial physician in the palace could not help her, so Madam Yu just left the child like that."

A servant sighed, "What a pity! I heard that Madam Yu is as gentle and beautiful as our Madam."

Another one also sighed: "Yes, our lady and Madam Yu were also good friends. When she heard that Madam Yu passed away, our lady also cried for a long time."

"After Madam Yu's death, it seemed to confirm the Taoist's assertion. I heard that Lord Yu almost went mad after Madam Yu's death. He guarded Madam Yu's body for three days and three nights and refused to bury her. In the end, it was our Lord who persuaded Lord Yu to stop."

"But Lord Yu has hated his own child ever since. Young Master Yu is also pitiful. He lost his mother when he was born, and his grandmother and father both regard him as a disaster. Oh, how pitiful!"

The two servants were cleaning while talking, and gradually went away. Thirteen was still lying on the rockery in a daze. No wonder Uncle Yu smiled when he saw him, but turned cold when he saw Yu Shen. He scolded him without asking any questions. Yu Shen was also stiff in front of his father, with a look of rejection.

That's nonsense. Giving birth is a life-threatening thing for women. How can you blame a child? The child is innocent.

Thirteen thought of his past life, when Lord Yu also died in an accident. Perhaps Yu Shen also believed that he was a disaster star at that time? Thinking of Lord Yu's gloomy and cold look in his past life, Thirteen felt distressed. No wonder the adults rarely smiled. How could a child who was considered a disaster star since childhood be happy?

Thirteen stood up, brushed the dust off her skirt, and muttered, "What a disaster star! What nonsense!" Then she prepared to find Yu Shen to comfort him.

When he looked up suddenly, he saw Yu Shen standing in the flowers not far away, with an even more gloomy expression. It was obvious that he had also heard the servant's gossip, and he also saw Thirteen who had been eavesdropping.

Seeing Yu Shen, Thirteen was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to comfort Yu Shen. She looked at Yu Shen timidly: "Big brother, you, don't listen to their nonsense, that stinky Taoist priest should be slapped in the mouth. I...I heard those old women say that giving birth is inherently dangerous. This is not your fault, you..."

"Shut up, I don't care what I do. Are you very proud that you have a mother and a father who love you, and you are very happy to see a disaster like me being despised by others, right? Let me tell you, I don't care about love at all."

The stubborn boy had tears in his eyes that were about to fall, but he didn't want to cry in front of Thirteen, so he used harsh words to pretend to be strong.

Thirteen looked at Yu Shen who was holding back his tears in front of him, and finally understood why there was a hint of jealousy in Yu Shen's eyes when he looked at him.

Yu Shen and I were in stark contrast. Lord Yu was angry at his son because of his wife's death, and he ignored and resented him. Yu Shen had studied with his father in the Qin Mansion since he was a child. He saw that he was spoiled by his father and mother at home. How much a child who had never received family warmth longed for such love!

Thirteenth Master understands Yu Shen's current mood. In his previous life, he was displaced and miserable. Seeing Madam Xinhe being loved by the Prime Minister, he was very envious. After being reborn, he felt the love and care of his father and mother, and he urgently hoped that he was the real Xinhe, so that he could truly possess all of this for a long time.

The more Shisan thought about it, the more she felt sorry for Yu Shen. She stretched out her chubby little hands and wanted to hug Yu Shen: "Big brother, don't be sad. Shisan likes you. Shisan can give you the love of my father and mother. Oh, we can share it equally."

Unexpectedly, Yu Shen got even angrier after hearing this. He pushed Thirteen down and said, "Don't pretend to pity me!" Thirteen sat on the ground, and the gravel on the ground cut Thirteen's chubby hand. Thirteen looked at the wound on his hand, it hurt so much, he couldn't cry, he was a strong secret guard, this little injury was nothing, he couldn't cry.

But Thirteen is only a three-year-old kid now, and the wound was really painful. Thirteen couldn't bear it anymore and finally burst into tears.

The maids and servants standing far behind rushed forward as soon as they saw Thirteen being pushed. When they saw the wound on Thirteen's hand, they all looked at Yu Shen in surprise. They had never seen the young master get angry like this before. Although he was always cold, he never hit the young lady. What happened this time?

Liu Niang, who had just walked over, also saw this scene. She picked up Thirteen with heartache and said, "Miss, don't cry. Nanny will take you to see a doctor. The pain will go away after you apply the medicine." She looked at Yu Shen, hesitated to speak, and hurriedly carried Thirteen to the front hall.

Yu Shen was also shocked when he saw Thirteen falling to the ground. He subconsciously wanted to help Thirteen up, but was pushed aside by the maids who rushed over. He stood aside at a loss, and the look Liu Niang gave him before leaving made him even more at a loss. He gritted his teeth and followed Liu Niang and the others to the front hall.
