Step-Mother has Given Up

Ye Shaofu nodded: "Of course it is true. When did I lie to Madam?"

Shen Yanmo thought for a while, felt that Ye Shaofu had not deceived herself, nodded and agreed, and bottled the Chuanbei cough pills that he had just refined, and gave it to Ye Shaofu: "This is a gift for you. I will be on Double Ninth Festival. I will go, and I hope the prince will keep his promise."

Ye Shaofu took the porcelain bottle, the smile on his face stiffened for a moment, thinking of the dark thing a few days ago, his stomach churning, he went to be forcibly held back by him: "I brought it back to Lin Qi to eat, he just came back from Kyoto, it seems I have a wind chill."

Shen Yanmo didn't care who took the medicine, as long as someone took it: "Tell me the effect after taking it. If the effect is not good, I want to improve it." He lowered his head to sort out the medicinal materials in his hand and prepared to try to make tranquilizing pills.

Seeing that she had agreed, Ye Shaofu returned to Yun Mansion with the porcelain bottle, and after landing on the wall, he threw the porcelain bottle to Lynch: "I went to Kyoto to complete the task ordered by the master. This is the master's reward. You must eat it all."

Lynch held the porcelain bottle, looked and looked at it like a bereaved concubine: "Master, if you smell that unpleasant smell, your subordinates will feel sick. You let your subordinates eat these because you think your subordinates always tell the truth and you hate them. Yet?"

"Finally, I was right." Ye Shaofu glanced at Lynch wickedly, and left with his hands behind his back.

Others in Shen's mansion knew that Ye Shaofu was Young Master Yun and a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou, but they didn't know his true identity. Ye Shaofu was kind to the little princes and even better to his wife, and felt that if they were together, they would all be happy.

Now knowing that Ye Shaofu invited Shen Yanmo to ascend, they all applauded, helping Shen Yanmo to prepare things one after another, and Mrs. Yun finally had a chance to be alone.

September 9th is the Double Ninth Festival, and mountain climbing is a custom.

Shen Yanmo arranged for the nanny to take good care of the child. Mother Liu, Qiuyue and Dongxue were at home, and Furong and Yuhe went out with them.

Shitou wanted to follow, too, but Ye Shaofu stopped him, and asked him directly if he could finish his homework. Shishi was immediately dumbfounded and could only obediently return to the yard to practice martial arts.

Brother Yao and Brother Rong looked at Shen Yanmo eagerly, and wanted to follow. I can't even go when I see the stones, and I don't expect it too much. He said that he would go back to the yard to play with his brothers. In the end, he did not forget to ask Shen Yanmo to bring some fun when he came back.

Such caring Xiaodou Ding, although Shen Yanmo is with them every day, she also touched their caringness, and immediately nodded in agreement, saying that if he meets a rabbit on the mountain, he will catch it and let them raise it. The two little guys rejoiced and went back to the yard.

Shen Yanmo rode the carriage, and Furong and Yuhe rode the carriage. Ye Shaofu followed on horseback, and Lin Qi and Lin Feng followed far behind, and a few people walked all the way to the foot of Guanyin Mountain.

In order to let Shen Yanmo and Ye Shaofu be alone, Furong and Yuhe stayed at the bottom of the mountain, saying that they were looking at the luggage and horses, so they stopped going up the mountain. I hope Shen Yanmo and Ye Shaofu have a good time. Lin Qi and Lin Feng also said that they didn’t want to climb down the mountain. Seeing that Shen Yanmo was reluctant, Ye Shaofu took the lead and walked up the mountain. After walking a few steps, he saw Shen Yanmo standing in place: "I don’t want to go up the mountain, I don’t want to know Jin. Is the secret of the box?"

Shen Yanmo quickly followed, always keeping a few steps away from Ye Shaofu. Guanyin Mountain is not high, there are winding paths to go up the mountain. For Ye Shaofu, climbing a mountain is not too strenuous. For Shen Yanmo, it was a bit difficult, without the power to tie a chicken, travel was either soft or a carriage, when I walked through such a mountain road, stumbled, staggered, and struggled as he went up.

The mountain breeze rolled up Ye Shaofu's thick ink hair, adding a bit of wild beauty to the mess. He turned his head and saw that Shen Yanmo was far away, blushing, panting, sighed, and turned his head back: "It's obviously hard, why don't you ask for help? You think I am hard-hearted and will ignore you. It's really stubborn. The girl." Pulling up Shen Yanmo's hand, he continued to walk up the mountain, "I'll be there in another quarter of an hour. Hold on."

Shen Yanmo bowed his head and said nothing, letting Ye Shaofu pull it. She came today, just wanting to know the secret of Jin He, without him.

It was said that it was a quarter of an hour to reach the top of the mountain. When he was approaching the top of the mountain, Shen Yanmo tilted his foot. Although there was no injury to the bones, the pain was severe. At the last distance, Ye Shaofu hugged her up the mountain. Shen Yanmo's first reaction was to refuse. .

Ye Shaofu squinted and said, "You also think that I am weak, and fell you?"

Shen Yanmo shook his head quickly: "Of course not, I can go by myself."

"When will you be able to reach the top of the mountain at this speed, don't you want to know the secret of Jin He?" Ye Shaofu didn't give Shen Yanmo a chance to refute. He picked up the person sideways and walked slowly up the mountain.

Shen Yanmo put his arms around Ye Shaofu’s neck, and looked at him up close for the first time. He was indeed handsome, his face was carved like a knife, with sharp edges and corners, and a bit thin and pale. It may be the reason for his frailty. The peach blossom eyes are piercing and energetic. Deep and gloomy, thin lips are lightly pressed, and the corners of the lips are slightly raised. No wonder the noble lady in Kyoto loves him madly. With such a face, I don't know how many people are fascinated. Even she, who has had two children, is slightly stunned.

Ye Shaofu seemed to know that Shen Yanmo was looking at him, and when he reached the top of the mountain, he put her down: "Madam is looking at me so foolishly, is she attracted by my appearance?"

Shen Yanmo stood still, stepped back, her cheeks flushed, her eyes twinkling and looking into the distance, pretending not to understand Ye Shaofu's words: "What is the secret of the brocade box?"

Ye Shaofu froze in an instant with a smiling face, and said: "It's really disappointing. It's such a beautiful scene. The lady doesn't watch one or two, and always asks what Jin He does. When I should tell you, Yun Lang will naturally say."

There is a pavilion not far away, but unfortunately there are already people, in twos and threes, whispering, talking and laughing, or playing and playing.

Ye Shaofu was unwilling to go to crowded places, and pointed to the unmanned and remote path: "Let’s go there for a walk. If we can beat a wild chicken, a hare, or something, we can have a full meal. Maybe I can give it to Brother Yao. Brother Er and Rong also brought one back." The first stepped away and walked over.

Shen Yanmo thought to himself that some things really can't be said in a crowded place. He slowly followed Ye Shaofu, and gradually moved away from the crowd. When he walked away from the crowd, he waited until he could not see the pavilion and the noisy crowd. Shen Yanmo looked at Ye Shaofu in front of him. , Asked: "What is the secret of the brocade box?"

Ye Shaofu turned his head and smiled: "I'm really impatient, I want to know the secret of the brocade box, and I will wait until today." It means that Shen Yanmo will spend the Double Ninth Festival with him.

Shen Yanmo stood there, looking straight at Ye Shaofu: "You don't even know the secret of the brocade box?"

Ye Shaofu took out a hairpin from his arms: "Are you familiar with this hairpin, right?"

This is a two-flower gilt hairpin inlaid with gemstones and butterflies. The hairpin is made of gold with red cat eyes on the top. The workmanship is fine. The most valuable thing is that the butterfly wings are made of gold, but thin as cicada wings to make the whole butterfly look lifelike. It's like flying away at any time, and it's very valuable at a glance.

No wonder Wen Wan likes it.

Shen Yanmo took a few steps forward, took the hairpin and glanced at it, seeing that the butterfly's wings were missing one side, her expression was sad, and her expression was sad: "This hairpin is mine. This is a gift from my father to my mother. Later, my mother got older and she didn’t wear it properly, so my father was going to go back. She said she wanted to put it on her body and carry it all the time so that she remembered my mother all the time. That night, my father said that this hairpin is very suitable for me. So I put it in the brocade box. After my father passed away, I often played with it, but I didn't dare to take it out, for fear that others would like to ask for it." When she talked, big tears rolled down, and she was sorry for her father. Failed to protect what he cared about.

Inadvertently, Wen Wan took a fancy to this hairpin and insisted on wearing it on her head, saying that she would return it to her if she wears it for a few days. She also showed off to Mrs. Gu and asked Mrs. Gu whether the hairpin was worthy of her.

Mrs. Gu said that the hairpin should be accompanied by gentleness, and asked Shen Yanmo to give the hairpin to Wen Wan. Shen Yanmo was caught off guard by her gentle behavior, and stood in a daze. She could not speak in the future, and Wen Wan directly said thank you. It is impossible to return the hairpin again.

Afterwards, she looked for Wen Wan and exchanged it with other things, but Wen Wan cried and ran to Mrs. Gu’s courtyard to complain, saying that Shen Yanmo had violated the sun, and promised to give her a hairpin on the surface, and she was carrying Gu. People want to go back again. It's not that she didn't give it, but the butterfly on the hairpin was broken and couldn't give it.

Old Mrs. Gu pointed to Shen Yanmo, scolding her for having shallow eyelids and being so petty that she could not be regarded as Hou Men Zongfu. The hairpin didn't want to come back, and the matter was gone.

Seeing that she could not hide her sadness, Ye Shaofu drew out the hairpin and inserted it on her head: "Even if its wings are broken, it can fly. Butterflies will always emerge from their cocoons. No matter what pain they experience, when they spread their wings and fly, they will always make people fly. Stop and look."

"Thank you." Shen Yanmo wiped away the tears from her face with her fingers and chuckled her lips slightly. She will be a butterfly, reborn from the cocoon after suffering.

Shen Yanmo suddenly remembered something, took off the golden hairpin and looked at Ye Shaofu: "What is the secret of the brocade box?"

"This king speaks with a promise. After saying that I told you today, I will tell you after today." Ye Shaofu turned and left.

Shen Yanmo followed Ye Shaofu and grabbed his sleeves: "You don't even know, you are lying to me, right? If you know, why didn't you tell me, I have already climbed up with you."

Ye Shaofu stopped and looked back at her.

Before Shen Yanmo noticed it in time, she bumped into his back, her nose was a little red, and looked at Ye Shaofu accusingly, "Why did you stop suddenly?"

She rubbed her petite nose with her delicate red lips pursed, and she looked so cute, which made people dreamy. The scene of the Hou Mansion flashed in Ye Shaofu's mind. She cried and cried that night, half-pushing and half-pushing, letting him slow down.

But for a man who has just finished his male life and has been treated with medicine, how can he slow down? Although he was weak since he was a child, he was a normal man. That night, the red waves surged up and down, which tossed people to death, and finally fainted before letting her go.

Shen Yanmo saw him looking at him with scorching eyes, his heart burst, and he bowed his head and walked a few steps quickly: "Let's go, look over there, maybe you can meet a rabbit."

Ye Shaofu returned to his senses, followed her pace, trying to explain something, saw a sharp arrow shot from his side, stepped forward and grabbed Shen Yanmo's arm, took the person into his arms, and avoided the sharp arrow sideways.

Without waiting for them to catch their breath, rain-like sharp arrows were shot at them, and they were about to be shot to death. Ye Shaofu hugged Shen Yanmo and hid behind the tree for a few steps. He only heard the bang, the sharp arrow stuck into the trunk.

Shen Yanmo calmed his mind: "Are these people coming for you?"

Recently, she has kept herself safe, and the Gu family has no time to take care of herself, let alone take care of her. Princess Mingxia and Wen Wan are both in Kyoto, and no matter how long their hands are, they cannot reach Yangzhou temporarily. Besides, they don't even know that she is in Yangzhou.

These people must have come to Ye Shaofu. He is a high-ranking person, and he happened to be investigating the Lianghuai salt tax case, which violated the interests of others and blocked the way of others. Naturally, those people didn't want him to live. Pity her was hurt by Chiyu.

Ye Shaofu clings to the tree trunk tightly, with his solid arms around Shen Yanmo, and poking out his head to carefully look at the direction of the arrow. There are more than a dozen people in black dreaming about them, holding bows and arrows, and exuding killing intent all over. Those people are really willing.

"You are next to me, don't move." Ye Shaofu took out a signal flare from his arms and let it go to the sky, not forgetting to tell Shen Yanmo to be safe.

Shen Yanmo's forehead was soaked with cold sweat, and he did not dare to move, for fear that one of them would not pay attention, and her life would be ruined here. She wants to live and her sons need her to take care of.

The man in black also saw the signal flare and knew that someone would soon rescue Ye Shaofu and Shen Yanmo. The arrows shot out were denser, and a few more people approached them quietly.

Ye Shaofu has a deep inner strength. Hearing the movement, he hugged Shen Yanmo horizontally and performed light work and ran away. Seeing Shen Yanmo's surprised eyes, he embarrassed and said: "Hold tight, I only have internal strength and light work. I don't know the moves, so I can only wronged you to follow. I ran away."

Maybe he was running in a hurry. He coughed a few times, but his movements were not slow. Arrows shot from behind. Some fell behind them and stuck to the ground, and some flew past their ears.

With a chuckle, an arrow stuck in Ye Shaofu's shoulder blade. He just paused, holding Shen Yanmo's hand, and continued to run. After two quarters of an hour, he felt that no one was catching up behind him. He looked back and saw that those people really didn't catch up. He looked left and right, and found a hidden place to hide. The two of them had just stood still, their bodies falling uncontrollably.

"Ahhh~" Shen Yanmo let out a cry of exclamation, then fear crawled into his heart, and naturally hugged Ye Shaofu's waist.

Ye Shaofu hugged Shen Yanmo with one hand, and wanted to grasp the stone walls on both sides with the other. The surroundings were too smooth. He didn't grab anything, and the two of them went down like this, and landed on the ground with a plop. Ye Shaofu put Shen Yanmo in his arms and became a flesh pad.

The surroundings were dark and there was nothing to see. Shen Yanmo smeared Ye Shaofu and lifted up Ye Shaofu. He just touched the arrow behind him and said in horror: "You got an arrow?"

"Nothing." Ye Shaofu forcibly endured the pain and dizziness. He didn't want Shen Yanmo to worry.

In the darkness, Shen Yanmo couldn't see his face clearly. With his uncomfortable voice, he knew how helpless an arrow was in his body: "Do you have a firefly on your body?"

Suddenly fell into the hole, and I don't know if there are threats around. If there is a fire, it will be much safer.

Ye Shaofu shook his head: "No." He stood up and looked around. He is considered a martial artist. He can't be seen in the dark as day, but he can see it. Not far away, there are stones scattered. He walked over and picked up two pieces. The dead branches and rotten leaves were gathered in a pile, and the fire was raised with the help of internal force.

With the light of the fire, Shen Yanmo could see the surrounding situation clearly. This was an abandoned cave, about the size of the small courtyard where she lived. There was faint water and light on the left hand side, and there were openings on both sides along the direction of the river. But I don't know where to lead. She was happy: "Is there water here?"

"Still water or living water?" Ye Shaofu leaned against the stone wall, squinting his eyes slightly, and extinguished Shen Yanmo's hope with a single sentence. He is very uncomfortable now, he just wants to sleep and doesn't want to do anything.

Shen Yanmo didn't dare to move, only then did he remember that Ye Shaofu had an arrow hit on his body, and he grabbed his back and asked with concern: "You got an arrow, what should I do?"

"I don't feel too deep. Can you pull it out for me?" Ye Shaofu asked vigorously. He must be sober, if something happens to him, some danger strikes, who will guard her.

Shen Yanmo has learned to know herbs and make pills, but he has never drawn arrows or bandaged wounds for others. She hesitated for a moment, and then made up her mind: "I'll try, you bear it. You should be able to tap the acupuncture points, I will pull out the arrow, and you will seal the acupuncture points to stop the bleeding. Otherwise, you will bleed and die."

The arrow was only four fingers deep into the flesh. Because of no experience, Shen Yanmo tried a few times before pulling it out.

Ye Shaofu quickly clicked on his body: "It can be bandaged."

Shen Yanmo pulled over Ye Shaofu's robe, opened a slit with an arrow, tore a piece, and then tore into a strip of cloth to bandage Ye Shaofu's wound.

Ye Shaofu frowned: "Should you not tear your own dress?"

"Why do you tear up my dress for you to bandage the wound?" Shen Yanmo looked at him, puzzled. When she turned around, people saw that her clothes were disheveled, how should she explain it? Even though her clothes were disheveled now, it was better than torn.

Ye Shaofu's breath suffocated: "Help me up and see if there is any other way out. You can't be trapped here."

Shen Yanmo lifted Ye Shaofu and walked towards the water. There were a few leaves floating on the water, but they were moving without wind.

"This is living water. We walk along the stream, and the water goes down. Maybe we can go down the mountain." Ye Shaofu said in surprise.

When the two fell into the cave looking for an exit, there was already a mess outside.

When Lin Qi and Lin Feng saw Ye Shaofu's signal flares, they knew something was wrong, and they hurriedly summoned the nearby Tianzihao people and went up the mountain to look for them. I met the man in black where Ye Shaofu disappeared.

These people in black chased here, but Ye Shaofu and Shen Yanmo were nowhere to be seen. They were furious and said that they could not let people leave alive.

Only then did Lin Qi and Lin Feng learn that these men in black had harmed Ye Shaofu. Without saying much, he drew his sword up and fought, and asked who the man in black is? The man in black is a vicious and vicious killer who takes money from people and naturally refuses to reveal the least bit of news.

There are more and more people in the sky name, and fewer and fewer people in black, but the people in black are also veterans of the rivers and lakes, and they are doing the business of licking blood, which is also a hard stubble. After an hour, they are still killed by Lin Qi and others. NS.

After dealing with the man in black, Lin Feng led a person to search inch by inch, and finally found the hole. Around the hole, there were new creases in the vegetation. He concluded that Ye Shaofu had fallen down with Shen Yanmo, shouted a few times at the entrance of the cave, but when no one responded, he wanted to go down and take a look.

Lin Qi went down the mountain to find a bundle of twine, tied one end to the trunk and the other tied to his waist, pulled by Lin Feng and a few others, slowly backing down and sliding down the cave.

The cave is not too deep, it will end in a quarter of an hour. He found a pile of fire and arrows with blood.

He searched for another circle and found that there were openings on both sides. Lin Qi was not sure which way Ye Shaofu had gone. He pulled the rope and motioned Lin Feng to pull him up. After waiting for it, Lin Qi explained the following situation. Several people discussed and immediately worked out a rescue plan. The soldiers were divided into three groups, staying here to guard the entrance of the cave all the way, and the two groups of people went down and walked in two directions respectively, and brought plenty of food and water.

When Lin Qi went down the mountain to look for food and water, he met Furong and Yuhe. They were former members of Xuanwutang. They naturally knew the signal of Xuanwutang, and immediately came up the mountain when they saw the signal. After searching for a long time, there was no shadow of Shen Yanmo and Ye Shaofu, and he faintly guessed that something was wrong.

When he was at a loss, he met Lynch.

When Furong and Yuhe learned that Shen Yanmo and Ye Shaofu were missing, their faces were pale with fright, and their lips were bloodless: "How could this be?" How could they be assassinated?

Lin Qi has no time to explain: "We have found the whereabouts of the prince and his wife, and we are ready to rescue. You are here, that's right, go and prepare all food and water, by the way, prepare some things for wounds. I am here. I saw a **** arrow at the entrance of the cave, and I don’t know who the prince or wife hit the arrow."

Furong was calm and calm in case of trouble, and immediately said: "I will go back to the house to get things, and then bring the genius doctor Xue." Yuhe dragged the dumbfounded Yuhe down the mountain, and while walking, he asked: "Can't you hide the fact that Madam was murdered? Stay, you go back to comfort the people, I will send the things back, and follow them to find the lady."

The Double Ninth Festival is also the last day of Mrs. Jin applying medicine.

When the dressing was changed a few days ago, there was a faint white light in front of her. She knew that her eyes were about to regain their eyesight. She was full of expectation and joy, so she waited for her eyes to regain their eyesight to see her son and Shen Yanmo, as well as other people in Shen's house. It is these people who gave them the care and hope of their mother and child.

Before she left, Shen Yanmo said that she hoped to help her uncover the medicine in her eyes. The Golden Lady was looking forward to this moment. She asked people to move a chair and sat under the eaves of the main courtyard, holding Brother Rong in her arms, patted his back and coaxed: "Your mother is coming back soon, Brother Rong. Baby, be good."

Brother Rong lay in her arms: "Brother Rong is a good baby."

The Golden Lady wanted to compliment him a few words. Hearing the rush of footsteps approaching, the corner of her lips rose up and said: "Qiuyue, you slow down, what to do in a hurry." Her ears are amazing, and she knows it only by the sound of footsteps. Who is the person.

Before Qiuyue reached Lady Jin, she started to cry: "Mrs. Jin, my wife and Mrs. Yun are gone. Mother Liu has passed out after hearing this situation. What should we do? How could the madam disappear? Have you climbed the mountain?"

Yuhe followed up and pulled Qiuyue and explained: "Mrs. Jin, don't listen to Qiuyue's nonsense. The matter is not as serious as you thought. Lin Qilin Feng took someone to find him, saying that he had found the traces of Mrs. Yun and Mrs. Yun. Sister. Come back and prepare things, you can use it when you find your wife, and save a lot of time."

Qiuyue touched her tears: "How serious, the madam is gone, isn't it serious? Sister Furong also prepared medicine for injury. Madam must be injured, oooooo." The more she talked, the more she cried.

The Golden Lady stood up and almost fell down. Brother Rong also knew that Shen Yanmo was gone, so he cried loudly, crying for his mother.

Brother Shishi and Yao heard the crying, and hurried over to learn that Shen Yanmo and Young Master Yun were missing. They were so anxious that their eyes were red and they wanted to go out to find someone, but they were stopped by Yu He.

Mother Liu fainted and Dongxue was taking care of her. The rest of the people were waiting in the main courtyard, restless, eagerly looking forward to the door, hoping that Shen Yanmo would suddenly stand there.
