My elder sister stole my marriage? She regretted and cried after I married the general.

Shen Rong suffered heavy losses.

With the failure of Baiqing and the pearl farm, he lost his source of income.

His money and Zhao Qingyao's dowry had already been converted into silver and given to the emperor.

Even the most valuable box of top-quality pearls fell into the hands of the thief.

Fortunately, *** sent someone to tell him to be patient and wait.

But without money, there is no confidence!

Shen Rong was in a depressed mood, and those who didn't know him would think he was grieving for his deceased wife.

The Spring Festival is just around the corner.

The streets and alleys of Shengjing are decorated with lights and the festive atmosphere is strong.

Shen Yue and Xia Xiao were engaged, and they were going to visit the Xia family during the Spring Festival this year. Qin was happy and took out her own money to prepare for the Spring Festival.

Yu had always been on good terms with her, so the two families celebrated the New Year together.

Anyway, they all live in Xifu.

"Hang that lantern higher and tie the string securely so the wind doesn't blow it off."

"Paste the Spring Festival couplets properly, don't paste them crookedly."

"Where are the offerings? Are they all ready? Oh, may the gods and ancestors bless us and bring good luck to our family..."

"..."

The bustling West Palace makes the quiet East Palace next door seem even more deserted.

Old Madam Shen stood under the wall between the two mansions, feeling sad.

It's getting lively.

Only her general's mansion was deserted.

In previous years, the family had not split up, and the whole family would gather around her to celebrate the New Year. The younger generations would greet her with auspicious words, and would smile brightly after receiving red envelopes.

Her two sisters-in-law, who were of the same generation as her, also tried to please her and have fun with her, which made her feel very happy.

But this year the second and third rooms were separated.

Since the separation, Qin and Yu have never been kind to Old Madam Shen.

Shen Yun and his wife also moved to a farm in Qinghe County with Rui'er and have not been heard from since.

Shen Lin and Ye Qinghuan also moved away, and made it clear that they would not come back for the New Year - after splitting up the family, they would live their own lives.

In this huge mansion, only Shen Rong and Bai Zhi were with her.

Although there were many servants in the mansion, there was a distinction between masters and servants, and there was not the festive atmosphere she wanted.

But this year, Shen Lin was very happy.

Ye Qinghuan invited Lao Xu and Nanny Ru to come to the mansion to celebrate the New Year. The five of them sat around the table and enjoyed a rich New Year's Eve dinner.

Chunyan, Chunyu and other maids were also let loose, chattering loudly.

There is no one who spoils the fun, no one who dislikes him, and he feels happy both physically and mentally.

"Brother Lin is particularly happy this year, all thanks to Madam." Su Jinxiu stood up, "Madam, I will toast you with tea instead of wine."

"You're too polite, Sister Su." Ye Qinghuan looked at her growing belly and felt worried.

"I'll have to trouble you to take care of me in the future." Su Jinxiu finished her drink and toasted Shen Lin, "Brother Lin, I toast you too. I wish you a bright future and no more worries in your life."

She spoke sincerely, and Shen Lin also drank a glass of wine.

Then, Shen Lin toasted Ye Qinghuan very formally: "Madam, I toast you."

"General, this is against the rules..."

"Because of you, I am where I am today." Shen Lin had a smile on his face and affection in his eyes.

Ye Qinghuan felt shy when he looked at her, so she quickly drank the wine to prevent him from saying anything cheesy again.

Old Xu and Aunt Ru smiled at each other.

The young lady is a blessed person, even more blessed than Miss Bai!

After the banquet, people set off fireworks, stayed up all night, and distributed red envelopes to the servants. The whole mansion was filled with joy.

Su Jinxiu stayed with him for a while, then tactfully returned to the yard - pregnant women don't have to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year.

Shen Lin was used to staying at the border, and he was in a good mood and too excited to feel sleepy at all.

Ye Qinghuan stayed up until midnight and couldn't help dozing off.

Suddenly her armpit felt itchy, and she opened her eyes in surprise, meeting Shen Lin's mischievous handsome face.

"Ma'am, are you still sleepy now?"

"You, why are you like this?"

Ye Qinghuan's face turned red with embarrassment and she glared at him.

Who would make such ambiguous jokes while staying up all night to celebrate the New Year?

"What are you afraid of? There are only two of us. They are all guarding outside and won't see us." Shen Lin didn't care.

Ye Qinghuan said angrily: "Then you can't tickle me like this."

"Okay, scratch it back." Shen Lin raised his hand and waited for retribution seriously.

Ye Qinghuan: ………

He rolled his eyes at her and said, "Everyone says General Shen is cold-hearted and cruel."

"Because it's in front of you." Shen Lin smiled, pulled her hand and stroked it gently.

The endless affection cannot be expressed in words.

"As far as I can remember, Shen Rong was always in her mother's arms when we stayed up all night. I could only sit upright by myself."

"Then I grew up and no longer cared about those things. Shen Rong's legs were crippled, and my mother kept blaming me for not saving Shen Rong earlier."

"Later, I made military achievements and supported the general's family. Mother no longer talked about those things, but she showed disgust every time she saw me."

"..."

Shen Lin talked about the past, his heart was calm. The scars pierced by family affection faded.

Ye Qinghuan did not interrupt him, but listened to him quietly.

If you are injured, you need to take medicine.

When your heart is hurt, you need to talk.

After tonight, he won’t be troubled by Shen Rong anymore, right?

But Shen Rong will not let go. He still needs to be careful in the future.

"Madam, have I talked too much today?" Shen Lin looked at his quiet wife, feeling a little embarrassed.

Ye Qinghuan pursed her lips and chuckled: "General is willing to talk, very good."

"Ok?"

"When we first got married, you were very frugal with your words. I don't like seeing you anymore. I wish you would never come back to Jinfengyuan for a day."

"!!!"

Did she dislike him so much at that time?

"It's good to be talkative now. It's energetic."

Shen Lin received the compliment, and the corners of his lips flew: "Isn't it because I drank a few more glasses?"

"After drinking too much at the border, would you tell others about your family affairs?" Ye Qinghuan asked back.

Shen Lin was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "No. I have never said these words to anyone."

"The general trusts me and values ​​me, I will not let him down." Ye Qinghuan patted his hands, "Are you still sleepy? Shall we go to the yard to get some fresh air?"

"it is good."

Shen Lin personally took out the fur coat and put it on her.

The two of them walked into the yard hand in hand. Chunyan and other maids were also dozing off, and when they saw their master appear, they hurried to wake up.

The snow stopped, and the inky sky was dotted with stars, with a crescent moon hanging among them.

Red lanterns are hung under the eaves, and colorful artificial flowers decorate the skinny trees in winter.

Bring the liveliness of spring to this cold winter day in advance.

The wind stops, the trees are still, and occasionally fireworks shoot up into the sky from an unknown distance and bloom brilliantly.

The lights cast heavy shadows, stretching their shadows long and sticking them together like conjoined twins.

Such a beautiful and peaceful New Year's Eve is the happiness that he and she have been pursuing all their lives.

Feng He sat aside and watched quietly, feeling something was unreal.

She had never seen such a general, and such a warm home belonging to the general.

I really hope they can stay this way forever, without being disturbed by the outside world...

"Bang bang bang-"

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door urgently.
