Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

"You always say that the scenery of Baima Peak outside the city is great. I also want to go and see it. When you come, we can go together again. How about it?"

"it is good……"

"After the Spring Examination, it is late spring, and the mountain flowers are in bloom. I want to walk in the mountains with you, climb up, see the mountain flowers, and enjoy the sea of ​​clouds."

"..."

As he was speaking, the person in his arms fell silent.

Gu Yichuan couldn't help but laugh, kissed her forehead lightly, and closed his eyes with a smile.

the next day.

The original plan was to set off back to Anzhen early in the morning, but Shen Nankui had been tossing and turning for too long at night and actually slept until noon.

What's even more unfortunate is that it started snowing again in the morning.

Shen Nankui felt sore all over that she simply did not get out of bed. She even ate breakfast in bed. Of course, she ignored Gu Yichuan.

Seeing that she didn't leave, Gu Yichuan was delighted and smiled harmlessly.

"It's God who wants to keep you here, Nan Kui. If you leave early in the morning and encounter heavy snow, wouldn't it be even more difficult to travel?"

Shen Nankui snorted angrily: "Don't be complacent, the snow won't last long."

Sure enough, her words came true. The snow stopped after only two hours. There was only a thin layer of snow on the ground, which had melted a lot and did not hinder their journey.

Seeing Gu Yichuan's expression dim again, Shen Nankui's heart softened and she comforted him softly, "Didn't we agree that we should do our own things first, and there will definitely be a time when we won't be separated again."

"Next time, we will never be separated." Gu Yichuan looked straight at her with a firm gaze.

While I was packing my bags, Zhong Shan suddenly came to tell me, "Madam, someone is outside the door looking for you."

"Who is looking for me?" Shen Nankui asked puzzledly.

Zhong Shan scratched his head. "It was a young girl, her name was Hehua or something, and she said she was your old servant."

"Howard?"

Shen Nankui was stunned and stopped what he was doing. "Hurry up and ask her to come in."

"Okay!" Zhongshan took the order and left.

Soon, he brought in a pretty girl. When the girl saw Shen Nankui, she fell to the ground in worship.

"Girl, Hehua kowtows to you!"

Shen Nankui hurriedly asked Fangcao to pull her up, and said with a smile: "Hehua, you and I are no longer master and servant. You don't need to kneel to me anymore."

Hehua shook his head, "No, in Hehua's heart, a girl will always be a girl."

Shen Nankui looked at the lively woman in front of him and found it hard to imagine the tragedy she had experienced in her previous life. Fortunately, she was still alive and well in this life. Seeing her well, he felt that he had fulfilled the friendship he had with her since they grew up together.

"Hehua, how did you find this place?"

Hehua looked at Shen Nankui, her eyes filled with tears, she wiped her eyes and said, "I didn't know the young lady was back, but I thought the first month of the year was almost over and she should go back to the Shen family, so I went to ask around and found out that she and her husband were living here, so I came here to look for her."

Shen Nankui asked Fangcao to serve tea and asked with a smile, "Do you have something to talk to me about?"

"Have……"

He Hua lowered his head, and suddenly knelt on the ground again, "I came to thank the girl."

"Thank me for what?" Shen Nankui was a little confused. "If it's because I redeemed you, you've already kowtowed to me. There's no need to thank me now."

"It's not this..." Hehua seemed a little embarrassed to speak.

Shen Nankui waved her hand and asked Fangcao to leave. There were only the two of them left in the room. Hehua cried and said, "Hehua wants to thank you for saving my life. You didn't let me follow the second young lady into the mansion that day. You secretly redeemed me from the Shen family on the grounds that your family had arranged a marriage. So, Madam let Shutao and Shuxing follow the second young lady into the mansion. You may not know... Shuxing is gone."

"Gone?" Shen Nankui looked shocked.

She knew that Shutao and Shuxing had followed Shen Pingwan to the Marquis' Mansion. When she saw Shutao was fine at the Shen family, she thought Shuxing was fine too. The reason why she didn't come back with them was probably because she had taken on other tasks at the Marquis' Mansion.

But I didn't expect that she would die at such a young age?

"Is it because of...Shen Pingwan?" Shen Nankui only thought of this possibility.

Hehua nodded and said, "That's right. I am good friends with Shutao and Shuxing. One year ago, I met Shutao on the street and she told me some things about the Marquis' Mansion. The second young lady... I don't know what kind of grievances she suffered in the Marquis' Mansion, but she took it out on Shutao and Shuxing. Once, Shuxing accidentally knocked over a teacup, so the second young lady punished her to kneel in the snow for a whole night. After she fell ill from the cold, she refused to let anyone call a doctor to treat her. Shuxing didn't make it and passed away..."

Shen Nankui frowned deeply, "How can she treat a life so lightly!"

"That's why I'm so scared!"

He Hua wiped her tears and smiled bitterly, "Miss, you may not know that when you wanted to send me out of the mansion, although I was grateful in my heart, I also secretly resented you. After all, if I could stay in the mansion for a year or two before leaving, my future would definitely be much better than it is now. Now that I think about it, I was really confused. I didn't know that you saved my life by doing this."

"The Second Young Lady doesn't get along with you, so she has always disliked me. If I follow her to the Marquis' Mansion, I'm afraid I will..."

She knocked her head heavily on the ground, "That's why I must come and kowtow to thank you in person."

Shen Nankui helped her up. "It's all in the past. You don't have to take it to heart. It's just that Shutao..."

After all, it was a young life, and she couldn't help but worry.

He Hua smiled and said, "Miss, don't worry. It's the Marquis' Mansion after all. After someone died, I heard that the wife of the Marquis of Jianning had severely punished the second young lady and strictly ordered her not to cause any more deaths. Shu Tao should be fine."

"That's good." Shen Nankui sighed softly.

The wife of the Marquis of Qi never tolerates any sand in her eyes, which is probably one of the reasons why she wants to divorce Shen Pingwan.

The two sat down again, and Shen Nankui asked with a smile: "Hehua, you've been home for so long, are you okay now?"

"I..." Hehua looked hesitant.

Shen Nankui said: "You and I grew up together. If there is anything you need help with, just ask."

Hehua hesitated for a while, a look of determination flashed across his face, and he knelt down and said, "Hehua wants to ask the girl to take me away!"

"Why?"

Hehua's eyes were red, but she didn't cry anymore. She held her head high, with an expression on her face that was hard to tell whether it was sadness or hatred.

"The girl treats me well, and Hehua knows it all, but my brother and sister-in-law are evil-hearted. For money, they want to sell me to an old widower in his fifties as a concubine. Although the old widower's wife is dead, he has at least ten concubines, and his three sons are fighting for the family property every day. If I marry into such a family, I'm afraid there won't be even a bone left of me!"

Shen Nankui was also furious after hearing this, "Assholes! How could they do this to you?"
