Jing Lan and Shen Wan had just fallen asleep and were having a good time, when there was a knock on the door outside, and a few lights from outside the window shone into the room through the window paper.

An Chun reported outside: "Girl, the old lady ordered someone to send the eldest sister back. She said that the eldest sister was crying over there, so she must find you..."

As soon as Jing Lan heard it, she quickly pushed Shen Wan away from her body, sat up hastily, got out of bed, found flint, lit it, and lit a candle.

Holding the candlestick in her hand, she found her belly pocket and put the candlestick on the small table beside the bed, and began to dress in a hurry.

While she was wearing it, she asked Shen Wan to quickly find a middle coat and put it on.

Shen Wan sat up reluctantly, found the apron and jacket that she had just taken off, and slowly put them on one by one.

She whispered to Jing Lan: "Don't panic, Jun Pei is here, just pretend to be sleeping on the Luohan couch opposite, and I'll open the door slowly."

After saying this, she turned to the outside and said loudly: "Understood, I'll come right away."

As for Jing Lan, she put on her midriff and went barefoot to take out the two quilts and pillows from the cabinet in the room that the maids were usually on duty at night, and quickly carried her to the Arhat couch, and made the bed. Get into bed again.

Shen Wan saw that Jing Lan had slipped into bed, so she took her embroidered shoes and went to open the door. Outside the door stood An Chun, Jun Pei's nurse Wei Shi, and the old lady's woman in charge, Deng Shi, and The maidservants serving the old lady.Those maidservants carried the lanterns, while Wei Shi hugged Jun Pei who was sleeping on her shoulders.

"Didn't you say that Jun Pei was crying? Why did you fall asleep again?" Shen Wan asked Wei Shi when she saw this.

Wei Shi explained with some embarrassment: "I was still crying at the old lady's side just now, so I hugged her and stopped making trouble when I fell asleep on the way."

Shen Wan stretched out her hand to hug Jun Pei from Wei's arms, and said, "Fortunately, it's summer now, otherwise I'd catch cold from sleeping like this."

After finishing speaking, she carried Jun Pei into the inner room. An Chun, Deng's family, and Wei's family all followed Shen Wan into the house. Only the maidservants holding lanterns stood guard outside the house.

An Chun and others entered the inner room, and saw Jing Lan sitting up from the Arhat couch, rubbing her eyes, saying that she just fell asleep...

Seeing Shen Wan hugging Jun Pei, she asked Shen Wan, "Is the eldest sister back?"

Shen Wan said: "She made a noise at the old lady's place, said she would come back to sleep with me, and fell asleep again on the way."

Saying so, she helped Jun Pei take off her coat, put her on the bed, and covered her with a quilt.

Jun Pei moved, turned over, and continued to sleep.

Shen Wan then said to Deng Shi and others who followed into the house: "You all go back and rest, here is An Lan taking care of you, everything is in order."

Everyone agreed, but all retreated in deterrence.

After these people had left, the sound of footsteps disappeared, and the outside fell into darkness again.Shen Wan went to lock the door, came back and sat down beside the Arhat couch where Jing Lan was lying, leaned over, leaned into her ear and asked her in a hoarse voice: "Lan'er, can we finish what we didn't finish just now?" ? Didn’t you feel bad when you couldn’t get up or down just now?”

As she said this, she reached out her hand into the thin quilt, from the hem of Jing Lan's jacket, and put her hand on her chest to tease Jing Lan.

Jing Lan bit her lips, pressed her hand, and said softly: "Don't, Jun Pei just came back and just fell asleep. If you wake up, it's not good to see you like this. Besides, I always feel that Jun Pei will sleep tonight. It's a bit strange to come back. Think about it, is this the first time she went to the old lady's place to rest and came back arguing? Also, just now I watched Mama Deng come in, as if she was staring at me Woolen cloth."

"Madam Deng staring at you?"

"Well, then I thought, tonight she took some maids from the old lady's side to send Wei Shi and Jun Pei back. An Chun knocked on the door. As your maid, I should open the door. How can the master sleep?" Come down, the maid on duty at night didn't open the door, but the master opened the door instead? Even if everyone in the house knows that I am your personal maid, your right-hand man, you dote on me, but you shouldn't open the door."

"Even if you break the etiquette once, it's nothing. Everyone in the Shen family knows that I treat you well. Didn't you just tell me that you were asleep and didn't hear you, so you asked me to open the door? This explanation is also true." It makes sense, what can others say?" Shen Wan said disapprovingly.

"Farewell, I still feel uneasy in my heart, I don't know why..." Jing Lan pulled Shen Wan's hand from her chest, and said with a frown.

Shen Wan shook her head slightly, blaming Jing Lan for seeing the wind as rain, she was so timid.

But in the end she still complied with Jing Lan, kissed Jing Lan's side face, and said: "Then I will go to sleep with Jun Pei right now, you can sleep at ease."

Jing Lan nodded and said yes.

Shen Wan then went to blow out the lamp, and went to bed to sleep with her daughter.

Huan Jinglan was disturbed tonight, Shen Wan didn't sleep well, woke up in the middle of the night, got out of bed quietly, ran barefoot to the Arhat couch where Jinglan was sleeping, got into bed, and finally asked Jinglan After returning, let Jing Lan satisfy her again, and then went back to sleep on the big bed.

The next morning, it was Jun Pei who woke up first, hugged Shen Wan and talked coquettishly, and pinched Shen Wan's nose, and Shen Wan woke up.

The sound of mother and daughter playing and talking in the tent woke up Jing Lan, who was deeply asleep.

After waking up, she turned her face and looked at Shen Wan and Jun Pei with a smile.

Suddenly, she found something, sat up all of a sudden, and the smile on her face faded.

On the footboard of Shen Wan's bed, there are three pairs of shoes, a pair of Jun Pei's small shoes, a pair of Shen Wan's embroidered shoes, and a pair of Jing Lan's embroidered shoes.

Jing Lan remembered that because of the arrival of Mrs. Deng and others last night, she got out of bed and ran to open the cupboard, took out the quilt of the maid on duty to make the bed, and then got into the bed.

Afterwards, when Deng Shi and others came in, she didn't get out of bed. Until now, she hasn't got out of bed all night.

So her embroidered shoes were taken off before she and Shen Wan went to bed.

In this way, Mrs. Deng and the others probably saw her embroidered shoes on the footboard under Shen Wan's bed opposite last night, while she was sleeping on the Arhat couch where the maid on duty at night often slept.So, did those shoes fly over?What's more, at that time, it was Shen Wan who opened the door, but she, the maid who was on duty at night, was lying on the Arhat couch.I don't know if Mrs. Deng will become suspicious after seeing all this, and will go to the old lady to say something.

In this era, masculinity prevailed in Jiangnan, and many people knew about the so-called "mirror grinding" between women.

Some people think that scholar-bureaucrats are masculine, but if ordinary people are masculine, they will be considered dirty and indecent.

As for the "mirror grinding" between women, most people will think it is absurd, a disease that must be cured, and only when it is cured can they marry and get on the right track.

Hey, most likely the old lady will hear some words that are not good for her and Shen Wan.

Jing Lan let out a long sigh, got out of bed and went to take off her own dress from the hanger next to Shen Wan and put it on.

Seeing the dress she and Shen Wan put on the hanger side by side on the hanger, she thought, probably this also fell into Deng's eyes, and it was another "criminal evidence", right?

After putting on her dress, she went to lift up the curtain, and said to Shen Wan: "Girl, come and have a look."

In front of Jun Pei, Jing Lan has always paid attention to calling Jing Lan a girl or a young lady.

Shen Wan, who was playing with her daughter, saw Jing Lan's worried look and asked her to see something.

So she hurriedly asked Jing Lan: "Alan, what happened?"

Jing Lan pointed at the pedals: "Look."

Shen Wan leaned out, looked down, and immediately saw Jing Lan's embroidered shoes on her feet, and Jing Lan was standing barefoot on the floor tiles.

She immediately understood what Jing Lan meant, and thought to herself, no, there really was a mistake in the haste last night.

If Mrs. Deng really went to tell the old lady about it, Jing Lan might suffer disaster.

She was most afraid that this kind of thing would be found out by the people in the second room. Then her second uncle would have to tell the whole Shen family about it, and then everyone would laugh at her, and her prestige in the Shen family would be greatly reduced.

Now, although her brother, Shi Si, who suffered a head injury, has come to his senses, but his reaction is slow. It is not known whether he will be able to walk and talk as usual in the future.Her father sent someone to check the people in the Shen family's carriage and stable, and to check whether the carriage that her younger brother overturned had been tampered with, but nothing was found.If she is caught in this turmoil again, the position of the head of Shen's family's house may really fall by the wayside.

These are all secondary, the most important thing is that if the old lady or her second uncle find out that she and Jing Lan are friends, Jing Lan will definitely be kicked out of the Shen family.

In other words, Jing Lan will no longer be able to enter the Shen family's door, nor can she be seen by the Shen family outside with her.

Even the old lady or her mother would find a marriage for her to force her to marry again.

Not being able to stay in love with Jing Lan is like killing Shen Wan.

She looked at her daughter Jun Pei, who was lying on the pillow with a smile on the bed, and then at Jing Lan, who was standing beside the bed, frowning her beautiful long eyebrows.

After a while she sadly said to Jing Lan: "Lan'er, if I can't take care of you because of Jun Pei, Shi Si, and Shen's family, will you hate me?"

Jing Lan looked at Shen Wan and asked her what she thought of, so why not tell her.

Shen Wan told Jing Lan everything she thought of just now, including the best and worst outcomes after the old lady and her second uncle found out about the matter.

After hearing this, Jing Lan shook her head and said softly, "Girl, I'm so old. I know your difficulties, so how could I hate you? Now that your brother Shisi has a head injury, and why he was injured in an accident, we haven't found out why. You If the eldest sister doesn't support the long room, the second room, your second uncle and the others will probably want to replace the long room. Besides, it would be unwise for you to leave the Shen family for me and make Jun Pei lose the protection of the Shen family. No matter what, you have to stay in Shen's house, set up the long room, and find out the truth about Shisi's accident. Just in time, I also want to go back to Lu's house to find out the truth about my mother's death, and take back the things my mother left for me and Chengze. Dowry. If something happens, we might as well separate and get together after finishing the tasks at hand. At that time, we can go to Suzhou together, or go somewhere else, and live our happy days... ..."

The author has something to say: Let me talk about the "Laughing at the Song Dynasty" that I wanted to write next. I saw that some relatives said it was a funny article, but it was not.Not too specific.
