The Emperor's uncle loves me! My paranoid wife, don't run away

While Shen Kuo was still struggling, a person suddenly appeared behind Shen Runing.

Shen Kuo looked up, his eyes changing from doubt to indifference.

Shen Runing was puzzled. What happened? She turned around and saw Wei Jiuzhao.

Wei Jiuzhao looked much more haggard, and the ruffian look in his eyes was gone. If you looked closely, you could still see his stubble.

Shen Runing had long discovered that their relationship was not ordinary.

It doesn't matter, as long as his elder brother is happy. There is no need for so many inexplicable constraints in life.

"Brother, you guys chat, I'll go look at some clothes..."

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Shen Kuo grabbed Shen Runing.

"Ning'er, don't leave. I have nothing to say to him."

Shen Runing could feel that Shen Kuo's hands were trembling slightly. At this moment, she would of course choose to stay with Shen Kuo.

Wei Jiuzhao looked at Shen Kuo, and then saluted Shen Runing.

"Hello, Lord Fangyi."

"No need to be polite."

Then Wei Jiuzhao took out a blue brocade box from his arms. One could tell from the surface of the box that it was not cheap. There were dragons and phoenixes carved on the box, and it was embroidered with gold and silver threads.

"Kuo'er, this is a gift for you, I hope you like it."

Shen Kuo didn't even raise his head.

"Didn't I tell you to call me Shen Kuo from now on?"

Wei Jiuzhao's hand just hung in the air.

"Shen Kuo, I wish you a prosperous business."

Shen Kuo raised his eyes and smiled: "I accept the blessing, but I don't want the gift!"

Wei Jiuzhao lowered his eyebrows, not knowing what he was thinking.

for a long time.

"Shen Kuo, I, I have already driven her away, really."

Shen Kuo, the master of yin and yang, said: "Why chase him away? You two are childhood sweethearts, you two are the most suitable for each other."

Wei Jiuzhao took a step forward: "No, no, you misunderstood..."

No matter how eloquent a person is, he or she will always become hesitant and timid in front of the person they like.

"I know I shouldn't have lied to you. I didn't handle it well enough. It's my fault, Kuoer. It's my fault."

Shen Runing felt that Shen Kuo's hand, which was holding her wrist, was shaking more obviously.

She was very curious about what happened between the two of them. Didn't she say she was going out to play with Wei Jiuzhao during the Lantern Festival?

Shen Runing held Shen Kuo's hand with his backhand and smiled at Wei Jiuzhao, "My brother has been busy all morning, maybe he is tired, why don't you go back first."

Wei Jiuzhao slowly placed the brocade box on the table and walked out of the door, looking back every few steps.

After leaving Shen's Garment Shop, the ruffian look in Wei Jiuzhao's eyes reappeared. There was no way he would let Shen Kuo go so easily.

Shen Kuo, he is determined to win, in this life, Shen Kuo can only be with him.

On the Lantern Festival, Wei Jiuzhao went back and drove his cousin out of the Wei Mansion. He regretted that he should have driven her away without hesitation on the day her cousin came.

It's just that the cousin was too eloquent and she managed to fool Wei's mother. Wei Jiuzhao wanted to find some time to have a good talk with Wei's mother.

However, he didn't find the opportunity, but was spotted by Shen Kuo...

When the cousin saw Wei Jiuzhao smiling and putting the knife on her neck, she was stunned.

Wei's mother had never seen her son like this before and was so frightened that she dared not speak at all.

Wei Jiuzhao gave her two choices, either die or get out.

Sometimes violence is many times more efficient than reasoning to solve problems. Such an incident has been dragged into such a big misunderstanding.

Shen Kuo has too many things suppressed in his heart, which makes him stand still and have difficulty in taking any step forward.

Shen Runing took out a small pearl flower from her sleeve pocket.

This pearl flower is made of amethyst and fine gold threads. It is crystal clear, with glittering petals and sparkling pearls.

"Brother, do you want me to put it on for you?"

Seeing the pearl flowers in Shen Runing's hand, Shen Kuo's expression improved a lot.

"How does Ning'er know that I like purple?"

"I like it very much. Please help me put it on my head, Ning'er."

"it is good."

Shen Kuo suddenly slapped his forehead: "Oh Ning'er, how could I forget such an important thing?"

Shen Kuo moved suddenly, and Shen Runing almost poked his scalp...

"what's up?"

Purple really suits Shen Kuo.

Shen Kuo raised his head and said, "Father told me a few days ago that your second brother will be back at the end of February!"

Shen Runing was overjoyed.

"real??"

I was so happy, a happiness that could not be described in words. Since my rebirth, I have met everyone except my second brother Shen Li.

Shen Kuo also missed Shen Li very much.

"I'm just not sure when. No matter what, how about we go pick him up together when the time comes?"

Shen Runing nodded: "Of course!"

As it was relatively free these days, Shen Runing stayed to help. Many people came for "Big Brother Fang Yi County Lord", and now that Fang Yi County Lord had suddenly appeared, the business was even more booming.

Jinshizhai.

During this period, a question emerged in Luo Mian's mind.

Did his mother really die of depression due to the death of the previous emperor?

Originally, he had been investigating Concubine Jing. Although the clues behind the two previous incidents, the statue of Shen Rumeng and the person behind Shennong Gate, all pointed to Concubine Jing, he always felt it was strange.

Since there was no motive, Luo Mian wanted to find out Concubine Jing's motive for doing these things, but he dug up something incredible.

Before the current emperor ascended the throne, when he was still a prince, he had very close relations with Prince Jingyuan.

Of course, it's normal for the prince to have supporters, but...

The strange thing is that King Jingyuan was a princeling back then! He was very opposed to Luo Xuan becoming emperor and was almost beheaded.

But what does this have to do with the death of Luo Mian’s mother?

Years ago, after he called back the Phantom from the neighboring country, he asked them to look for a person named "Tao Xiaoyue", who used to be a maid in the palace and was called "Baozhu" in the palace.

Baozhu was the personal maid of Luomian's mother. She had a good relationship with little Luomian and secretly told him her real name.

After her mother died, Baozhu was sent out of the palace. Before leaving, Baozhu said something to Xiao Luomian.

What seemed like a very ordinary sentence back then, now seems to have a deeper meaning.

"The sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the yard is always still and the wind blows. I'm afraid it has bugs. You should stay away from it and don't play under it. Be careful, okay?"

good news.

The Phantom found the orb in a village a few days ago.

bad news.

But Baozhu was dead. When the Phantom arrived, Baozhu's body was still warm and she had just died.

In her mouth, Phantom found a piece of paper wrapped haphazardly in plastic.

It says 'Before the queen died, Ning Fanghao came here.'

The handwriting is crooked and you can tell it was written in a hurry.

……

As the sky gradually darkened, Shen's Garment Shop was selling like hot cakes on its first day of opening; many styles of robes and skirts were out of stock.

To celebrate, Shen Kuo gave everyone in the shop a red envelope of 20 taels of silver.

20 taels of silver is equivalent to a farmer’s harvest from a year’s work.

In the end, only Shen Kuo and Shen Runing were left. They bought some wine and food and started celebrating.

Shen Kuo drank a lot of wine, one glass after another.

He said he was happy, his shop was getting bigger and bigger, his life was getting better and better, he was happy, he was glad, so he drank.

But Shen Runing knew that he was not happy, not happy at all.

Shen Runing and Shen Kuo drank a glass of wine.

The burning sensation extended from the mouth to the stomach, and then he looked up and asked.

"Brother, what happened to you?"
