Of course Shen Wan didn't want to be separated from her daughter, but she was also worried that if the Xiao family found out that she had given birth to Xiao Junpei, they would come to beg for her daughter.

Xiao Yulang, in particular, is more likely to do this, or he doesn't like Jun Pei very much, but he can make Shen Wan sad by asking for a daughter, so that Shen Wan will be held by Jun Pei all his life.

Comparing the two, Shen Wan finally agreed to her mother's proposal, asking her to take Jun Pei back to Shen's house in Jinling this time.

That night, Mrs. Yu and her daughter went to bed and talked a lot, while Jing Lan went back to her room to sleep.

It is quite rare for Jing Lan to sleep alone, so she slept soundly.

When she got up the next day, Jing Lan had already gone to the silk shop with Ping An.

Mrs. Yu got up early, had breakfast with her daughter, and then led the accompanying maids and women back in several carriages of Yu's family.

There are people around her who can take care of children. Although there is no ready-made wet nurse, she has prepared milk specially squeezed by Shen Wan for the child and brought it to feed Xiao Jun Pei on the road. It is expected that Jun Pei will not be hungry for two hours.As long as you arrive at Shen's house in Jinling, you can find a wet nurse for Xiao Junpei to feed her milk soon.

Although Shen Wan was reluctant to part with her daughter, but in order for her daughter to stay in the Shen family and by her side in the future, she could only harden her heart and send her away.

Before the child got into the carriage, Shen Wan kissed and kissed again and again. In order not to make her mother feel sad, she could only suppress all her reluctance and refrain from crying.

Mrs. Yu assured her daughter that she would definitely take good care of Xiao Junpei, and that Xiao Junpei would definitely stay in the Shen family. When she returned to the Shen family two years later, she would definitely see a beautiful Xiaojun in pink makeup. Pei.

When Xiao Junpei left Shen Wan, she was still sleeping soundly in her infancy, and she didn't know that she had left her biological mother.

The carriage in which Mrs. Yu and the others were sitting drifted away, and Shen Wan stood at the door of the cold and bleak Shen family's old house before going back with chills all over her body.

As soon as she got back, she went to bed and lay there crying silently, and didn't even get up for lunch.

In the evening, when Jing Lan came back from the silk shop, she found out that Mrs. Yu had taken Xiao Junpei away, and Shen Wan had been lying in bed all day without even eating, so she hurried into the inner room to see her.

Lifting the curtain, Jing Lan saw Shen Wan whose eyes were swollen from crying, lying on the pillow with a pale face, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Seeing her like this, Jing Lan also felt uncomfortable, she quickly bent down, hugged Shen Wan's head, and comforted her softly: "Don't do this, it hurts you like this."

Shen Wan stretched out her hands to hug Jing Lan's neck, choked with sobs and said, "I also know that it is safest for my mother to take Jun Pei away...but I just can't bear it, as if a piece of my heart has been ripped away. The sleeping place is empty, it's really heartbreaking..."

"Hey..." Jing Lan stroked her head, not knowing what to say.

Probably all the mothers in the world will be like Shen Wan when they encounter this kind of thing.

Only time will heal this pain.

"Wanwan, you still have me. Didn't I accompany you? Besides, you will go back to Jinling for at most two years. Two years will pass quickly. When Jun Pei returns to the Shen family, the Xiao family will not be able to come." Don't care about begging for Jun Pei. Now that you are in Suzhou, there are no members of the Shen clan around you. If Xiao Yulang brings someone to ask for Jun Pei, or even orders someone to rob him, if Jun Pei makes a mistake, it will be worse than going back to Jinling with your mother. Home is even more of a headache. Think about it, would you rather not see Jun Pei for two years, or 20 years, or even forever? Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, and it will be fine after a while."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."

Jing Lan stroked her hair, whispered softly and continued to say some comforting words.

I don't know how long she comforted her, but finally, Shen Wan stopped crying, got up, put on her shoes and got out of bed to have dinner with Jing Lan.

Because Jun Pei followed Mrs. Yu back to Jinling, Mrs. Yao, who had been hired by Jinglan to take care of her, came in to see Jinglan after Jinglan and Shen Wan had dinner and said that she was going to resign.

In addition to the original wages, Jing Lan rewarded her with two taels of silver, and agreed that she would go back to Suzhou the next day.

In the evening, Jing Lan accompanied Shen Wan, and the way to comfort her was to pamper her well, as if doing so would relieve her from the sadness of being separated from Jun Pei.

It has to be said that doing so is still useful, at least Shen Wan seems to be in a much better mood after Jing Lan doted on her.

The long night was silent, although the room seemed a little quiet without Xiao Junpei's crying, but when the two of them embraced and slept together, they both felt the sense of security in this world brought by the people around them, and this day can also be continued.

After Xiao Junpei was picked up by Mrs. Yu, soon after, Shen Wan also participated in the operation of the silk shop.

She planned to open another silk and satin shop in Suzhou City after the Chinese New Year, so she went to Suzhou from time to time to visit the location of the shop, visit acquaintances, and raise money for the shop.

Gradually, the sadness at the beginning because of Xiao Junpei's departure gradually faded away, and both Shen Wan and Jing Lan were busy doing the part of the things they were responsible for.

-

Mrs. Yu took Xiaojun Pei back to Jinling, stayed at Yu's house for a day, and after showing Xiao Junpei to the members of Yu's family, she returned to Shen's house in a sedan chair.

As soon as they arrived in Jinling, within an hour, Yu's capable woman in charge had already brought two wet nurses, and Yu sent two more maids beside her to serve Xiao Junpei.

After taking Xiao Junpei back, Mrs. Yu also covered the matter, so she ran to the old lady Li and told a story.

She said that on this trip back to her natal family, she had heard a story from her natal family during the few days of serving her mother.

Old lady Li asked Mrs. Yu to tell her the story.

Yu said: "My daughter-in-law's family's distant uncle had a daughter who divorced. I didn't expect that after the divorce, I found out that I was pregnant. My mother's family quarreled over this matter. Some people said that the child who was pregnant could not Yes, otherwise, when she is born in the future, my distant uncle's daughter will not be easy to marry, and I still have to get rid of this baby..."

Before she finished speaking, the old lady Li frowned and said, "Isn't it a shame to kill the baby? This baby is not a wild child. If you kill it, the husband's family of the daughter of your natal uncle Can you not settle accounts with your uncle? After all, it is his blood."

Mrs. Yu made a look of embarrassment, looked at the old lady Li, and said in a low voice: "But after giving birth to that baby, it will be difficult for my natal uncle's daughter to marry in the future."

"It's not easy to marry and you can't kill the child in your stomach. Who told her to have such a fate? Since she has such a fate, she has to bear it!" Old Madam Li said displeased.

After hearing this, Mrs. Yu was relieved, and quickly flattered the old lady Li, saying: "Mother is right, God has the virtue of being good at life, and killing a baby is indeed a bad thing."

The old lady Li said again: "You must tell your father and mother, let them persuade your distant uncle to accumulate virtue and not let his daughter have an abortion."

"Yes, mother, I'll go back and write a letter and have it sent to my parents."

"Ah."

The next day, after Mrs. Yu went to pay his respects to the old lady, and waited until the others had left, he gave the woman in charge, Mrs. An, a wink, Mrs. An nodded and stepped back.

After a while, Anshi came with a woman about 23 or [-] years old, and the woman was holding a baby in swaddling arms.

The woman holding the child went straight to Mrs Yu, and handed the child in her hand to Mrs Yu to hold.

The child had just finished breastfeeding and was still in good spirits. Seeing Yu Shi there, she was looking at her curiously, clenching her two small fists and waving them constantly.

Mrs. Li suddenly saw Mrs. Yu holding a baby, she felt strange, and asked Mrs. Yu which family the baby belonged to.

Mrs. Yu didn't answer immediately, but carried the child over to show Mrs. Li.

As soon as the old lady Li saw the snow-white and beautiful little dumpling in front of her, her eyes lit up, and she forgot to ask whose child it was, so she stretched out her hand to squeeze the little dumpling's hand, teasing She plays.

Xiaotuanzi was also good, neither crying nor fussing, just staring at old lady Li with a pair of shiny black eyes.

The old lady Li hugged her, looked at the child with a smile and sighed: "It's been many years since I played with such a cute little doll. Your second brother's daughter-in-law gave birth to one, but she was too weak. I haven't stopped taking medicine since then, and the family is always in the house, and I can't even try to tease him. I went to see him the day before yesterday, and he is three months old. His hands are thinner than this baby... By the way, in front of him How old is this baby?"

Yu said: "It's only four or five days since the moon came out."

The old lady Li smiled and said, "You look really good. This clever and delicate appearance reminds me of Wan'er when she was a child."

Seeing Mrs. Li, Mrs. Yu talked about this, and if she didn't reveal Xiao Junpei's identity, she would have missed the opportunity.

So, she knelt down and told the old lady Li, "Mother, this is Wan'er's daughter."

"..." The old lady Li was stunned for a moment, she didn't realize it for a while, and it took a while to ask Mrs Yu dryly, "You...you said this was born by Wan'er...but, but..."

She wanted to say that her eldest granddaughter had reconciled with Xiao Yulang, how could she have given birth to a child.

Yu quickly said: "After Wan'er reconciled with Xiao Yulang, I found out that she was pregnant..."

The old lady Li let out an "ah" when she heard this, looked at the snow-white dumpling she was holding in her arms, and murmured for a long time: "No wonder I feel familiar with this baby when I see her, and I think of Wan'er. But It turns out that it really was born by Wan'er."

After a pause, old lady Li realized belatedly that her daughter-in-law Yu came to her yesterday and said that her natal uncle's daughter, and Li Li, found out that she was pregnant with her ex-husband's child. Shi also came to ask about his own ideas.

It turned out that Mrs. Yu was talking about her granddaughter Wan'er.

"Mother, Wan'er said that she wants this baby, but she doesn't want to give it to the Xiao family, so please make it happen." Yu continued to kneel on the ground and begged.

The old lady Li was silent and asked Mrs Yu to get up, then she held the child and looked at it again and again, the more she watched it, the more she liked it.She has always said that her sons have too few daughters, and now she has an extra granddaughter who is so cute, she hugs her, and she doesn't want to let it go, let alone take it away with the Xiao family.Besides, she thought that since they had made up with Xiao Yulang, there was nothing wrong with the child staying in the Shen family.

"Just keep her and keep her by my side, just to accompany me." Old lady Li finally smiled.
