Rebirth Strategy: Please let me go

It was already midnight when the funeral banquet at Duke Sheng's Mansion was dismissed. The sky was already dark and there was a chill in the wind.

The white silk and satin of Duke Sheng's mansion was blown up by the wind, and An Jinshu was helped by Hong Li and Ali to get into the carriage.

Mrs. Qu and Mrs. An followed closely. When the carriage was about to leave, her father's voice came from outside: "Nephew Sheng, are you looking for Yanyan?"

Sheng Huaian's voice blew into the carriage with the cold wind: "Uncle An, could you please call Sister Yanyan for me? I have a lot of things to say to her during the busy day."

"OK....."

An Jinshu only heard his father agree, and then the bamboo curtain of the carriage was opened from the outside. The cold wind poured into the carriage. An Jinshu gathered his clothes unconsciously.

As if seeing her move, he quickly put down the bamboo curtain and said to her through the bamboo curtain: "Yanyan, that kid from Huai'an wants to see you, what do you say?"

An Jinshu's hand was held by her grandmother.

"Go, that child in Huai'an must be sad today, please comfort him."

Mrs. Qu also whispered: "Go, it's cold outside, go and come back quickly."

An Jinshu nodded lightly: "Then I'll go and come back. Red Li will help me down."

Hong Li quickly held An Jinshu's hand and reminded her to get off the carriage more slowly.

After getting off the carriage, the cold wind was biting. An Jinshu held the cloak in one hand and the red carp in the other and walked forward. She knew that Sheng Huaian must be standing in front of her in the cold wind, waiting for her.

"Miss." Hong Li said, "A few steps ahead is where Mr. Sheng is standing."

"I understand. Wait for me here." An Jinshu let go of her hand and took three steps forward before stopping and asking into the darkness: "Brother Huai'an, are you there?"

"I'm here." As the other party's voice rang out, An Jinshu smelled a fragrance that belonged exclusively to Sheng Huaian. It was like the fragrance emitted by the bamboo forest after the rain, as clean and noble as him.

Hearing his voice, An Jinshu smiled slightly: "Brother Huai'an, are you finished with matters in the house?"

"Yanyan." Sheng Huaian's voice was no longer as relaxed as before.

An Jinshu naturally heard the change in his tone. For the first time, she heard the sadness in Sheng Huaian's voice.

"Brother Huai'an? What's wrong with you?" An Jinshu was a little worried: "Did something happen?"

Sheng Huaian looked at the girl's slightly anxious face and his eyes were as soft as a pool of spring water. He stretched out his hand and only needed to go a little further to touch the girl's cheek, but Sheng Huaian's hand was just a little away and couldn't reach it. A little further.

A gust of wind blew by, and the girl's hair entangled with his fingertips, and then slipped away from his fingertips playfully.

Sheng Huaian smiled. It seemed that God knew that he didn't dare to touch her, so he asked Feng to help him.

Her hair was entangled with his fingertips, which could be considered as touching her cheek.

Sheng Huaian hid his hands in his sleeves and put them behind his back, as if this way he could hide his thoughts and retain the "beautiful" moment just now.

"Yanyan, three years...can you wait for me for three years?"

His words were cautious and humble, and the slight tremor in his tone was difficult to conceal.

An Jinshu felt relieved when she heard what he said. She thought something was wrong. It turned out that she was afraid that she would regret the marriage during the three-year filial piety period.

Then he really is overthinking it. Not to mention that she has no intention of getting married. With this engagement, at least she doesn't have to worry about others watching her, which is a great good thing for her.

What's more, her marriage to Sheng Huaian was already known to everyone today. If she regretted her marriage just because of such a trivial matter, who would she be?

"Brother Huai'an, don't worry. I will wait until brother Huai'an's filial piety is over before deciding on your marriage."

Seeing how she answered him, Sheng Huaian knew that she had misunderstood him again. He wanted to explain, but he was afraid that the other party would not agree if he said it, and he was even more afraid that the other party would agree.

What can he promise Yanyan now? What can I give her?

He had said at the beginning that he wanted her to enjoy a lifetime of glory. If he couldn't escape from the palace tomorrow, wouldn't it be a detriment to her life?

Moreover, what the man said was now like a thorn in his heart, causing him to suffer.

If what that person said is true, then Yanyan is the medicine to save the Sheng family. Isn't that what he has been pursuing all his life?

Breaking the hereditary "curse" of the Sheng family, relieving the cold syndrome that made the Sheng family miserable, and saving the Sheng family relatives from fire and water.

But it was Yanyan, why was it her?

If he keeps her by his side for his own selfish reasons, can he protect her, love her, abandon this "curse" of the Sheng family, and put her first?

Sheng Huaian knew that it was because of evil thoughts in his heart that he was shaken from his sincerity. In this case, he couldn't express his feelings now.

He needs time, needs time to verify his heart.

So this answer can be regarded as the best result for the two of them at the moment.

"If one day I lie to Sister Yanyan, can Sister Yanyan forgive me?"

Sheng Huaian asked suddenly when parting.

An Jinshu said without even thinking, "Yes."

Sheng Huaian was puzzled. Xu didn't understand why she would forgive someone who had deceived her.

"why?"

An Jinshu lowered his head and thought for a while, then smiled: "This is a secret. I will tell Brother Huai'an personally when I have the opportunity."

Sheng Huaian looked at her sly smile and was stunned for a moment, then laughed along with her: "Okay, I'll wait until Yanyan tells me in person."

"Brother Huai'an, will you go to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit tomorrow?"

"How does sister Yanyan know?"

An Jinshu laughed softly and said, "Brother Huai'an, have you forgotten that my brother went to the south of the Yangtze River with you?"

Sheng Huaian suddenly realized: "I forgot about this."

"Brother Huai'an, has he thought of a way to deal with it?"

Controlling floods in the south of the Yangtze River is an important task. Failure to return to the palace in time is a disobedience to the order. Neither Sheng Huaian nor his brother will have a good time going to the palace this time.

"When soldiers come to cover up the water and earth, there will always be a way."

Sheng Huaian understood that they would not be able to escape the death penalty. They were so bold. If they were easily forgiven, they would surely make other courtiers dissatisfied. Only severe punishment could deter Chao Gang.

"Brother Huai'an." An Jinshu thought of something and suddenly called him: "When you enter the palace tomorrow, don't say you are going to the palace to save me. You must say you are going to save my brother."

"Why?"

An Jinshu didn't bother to explain so much to him and just asked him to agree.

Sheng Huaian was a little surprised, but seeing An Jinshu's serious expression, he nodded in agreement.

"it is good."

Hearing his response, An Jinshu turned around: "Brother Huai'an, take a rest early. There is still a tough battle to fight tomorrow, so you have to recuperate your energy."

Sheng Huaian said goodbye to her: "Sister Yanyan, please rest early."

"Um......"

The carriage gradually moved away and disappeared into the dusk.

Sheng Huaian stood in the cold wind for a long time, until her whole body was cold and her legs and feet were numb, but the hand that touched her hair was still warm.
