Chapter 143 Embarrassment

(Thanks to Longshan No. 1 book friends for their monthly tickets. I love Symbiosis Butter Book friends will receive rewards!)

****

This time, Chen Yi walked into the small courtyard where Zheng and Shangguan Wan'er and his daughter lived with a little nervous.

When I came to see the orphan and widowed mother, I was a little uncomfortable, afraid that people would point fingers. After hearing what Chen Nian said just now, Chen Yi felt even more "notic" and even more afraid that someone would see the darkness in his heart. However, when he pushed open the gate and walked in, he saw Xiao Wan'er playing in the yard sweating profusely, Chen Yi's embarrassment disappeared immediately. He stood still with interest, wanting to see what Shangguan Wan'er was tossing.

The little child is interested in everything. Things that are inexplicable in the eyes of adults may be a great pleasure in the eyes of the little ones. Although Shangguan Wan'er is a famous historical figure, her performance when she was a child was similar to other little children. Chen Yi clearly saw that the little girl was kicking stones there, and she was very happy, which made him surprised. The little girl's interest was too low!

Zheng was not in the yard, and he didn't see what Chen Nian said. He was having fun watching the little girl play alone. Chen Yi stood there and watched for a while until Shangguan Wan'er stopped temporarily and called out: "Wan'er! What are you playing?"

After hearing someone's call, Shangguan Wan'er stopped all movements, raised her head, looked at Chen Yi a little confused, as if she hadn't recognized Chen Yi. Then she lowered her head and continued to kick her own stone. After kicking it twice, she raised her head, smiled at Chen Yi, and ran over, looking at Chen Yi with her little head raised: "Brother, are you the brother who came to Wan'er last time?"

Chen Yi squatted down, smiled and touched Shangguan Wan'er's head, nodded and said, "Yes, I saw Wan'er last time, you haven't forgotten?"

Shangguan Wan'er also nodded and said in a silly voice: "Wan'er remembers her brother, because she looks pretty good!"

"Ah?!" Chen Yi was stunned. A child who was only a few years old actually knew that a man looked good-looking or not. It was really... too incredible! Is this because a strange person has a strange appearance?

Shangguan Wan'er looked at Chen Yi with a giggle smile and curious expression. Seeing the little girl's cute appearance and seeing her sweaty and a lot of dust, Chen Yi felt inexplicably loving in his heart, took out his own veil and wiped the sweat off Shangguan Wan'er's face. "Wan'er, what were you playing just now? Why didn't your mother play with you?"

"Wan'er is playing and kicking the house, mom teaches me!" Shangguan Wan'er tilted her head, pointed her finger at the direction of the house, and said mysteriously: "Brother, mom is writing in the house, so she won't let Wan'er disturb her. Sister Xiaorou is also inside. So Wan'er went out to play alone!"

"Oh? Your mother is writing? What words are you writing?" Chen Yi became more and more interested!

"I don't know!" Shangguan Wan'er's head shook like a rattle, "My mother didn't tell me, she just asked me to play in the yard alone!"

"Then let's see what your mother wrote!" Chen Yi stood up, grabbed Shangguan Wan'er's hand, and walked towards the room half-closed the door. He was very curious and thought that Zheng would send Shangguan Wan'er to the yard to play. He hid in the house to write, and he must have written something very important. Since he came, gossip and see what Zheng wrote. I heard that Zheng was very good at learning. If she wrote poems, lyrics, fu, etc., it would be just right to see Zheng's level of poetry, calligraphy, and by the way, she could also see how her first-hand writing was written.

Shangguan Wan'er obediently asked Chen Yi to hold her hand, and when he approached the house, he stopped all the sounds. Two people, one big and one small, tiptoed to the door. Chen Yi stopped and gestured to Shangguan Wan'er to silence, and looked in. However, he saw Zheng at the desk writing something, just writing and stopping, frowning and thinking. A man who looked like a maid was standing on the back of the door, probably grinding ink!

Zheng was concentrating while thinking, and the maid stood on her back. No one in the room noticed that there were two people with excitement at the door, one big and one small, leaning their heads and minds.

Seeing that neither of them noticed them in the room, Chen Yi wanted to see some secrets and was even more thoughtful. After thinking for a while, he signaled to Shangguan Wan'er. The little girl nodded half-clearly, closed her mouth, and followed Chen Yi quietly into the room. He saw Shangguan Wan'er cooperated so much, Chen Yi gave this evaluation!

As he approached the desk, behind Xiaorou, the two women with different thoughts in the house still did not notice the big and small ones who quietly entered the house. Zheng was still holding his chin and pondering, as if he had written a card text or writing about sadness, and there were tears in his eyes! Xiaorou just mechanically polished ink and didn't dare to raise her eyes. She must have known that the person she served was crying and sad, and she didn't dare to look up.

"Oh!" Zheng sighed softly, put down his chin-holding hand, picked up the pen and prepared to write, but he stopped after writing a few words, as if he was not very satisfied with what he wrote.

"Mom!" Shangguan Wan'er, who saw tears on her mother's face, finally couldn't help it. She called out softly while Chen Yi was not looking at her.

This soft call shocked all the adults in the house. The pen in Zheng's hand fell onto the desk with a "pop". Fortunately, it didn't fall on the rice paper that had already written a lot of words. Xiaorou used her strength a little, almost overturning the inkstone. The two women's horrified eyes all turned on Chen Yi and Shangguan Wan'er, the big and small.

After seeing clearly that it was Chen Yi who entered the house, Zheng immediately stood up from the side of the case, walked to Chen Yi, and saluted in panic: "The offender Zheng has seen Mr. Chen!" She was frightened. Chen Yi would come to the place where her mother and daughter live in a quiet voice, and even took Shangguan Wan'er's hand and broke into the house. This was so scary that she almost made her soul scatter!

Xiaorou, the maid who had polished the ink just now, was also frightened. She couldn't figure out why a strange man appeared in the Yeting Palace or came in alone. What did this person come in? Could it be that he had any evil intentions?

"Madam Shangguan, please give me no gift!" Chen Yi let go of Shangguan Wan'er's hand, waved at Zheng, and bypassed Zheng, who was still lowered his head and was at a loss. He walked to the desk and prepared to see what she had written!

The beautiful and square font was printed into Chen Yi's eyes, making him unable to help but amazed. Zheng's handwriting was really good, much better than him! After glanced at it, he wanted to continue reading, but he saw Zheng, who was extremely frightened, followed him and wanted to steal the fu on the desk!

But Chen Yi's body blocked her and did not dare to rush, so he could only stand helplessly, with tears rolling down his eyes, which was very pitiful. Chen Yi couldn't help but feel trembling. What he couldn't stand was the tears of women. When he saw a woman crying in front of him, his heart would tighten. However, in front of a few people, he still held back today, ignored the poor Zheng, and stood firm and looked at what she had just written.

This look surprised him. This was a essay by Zheng to mourn his deceased husband. The feelings were written very sincerely, with deep lovesickness, countless sorrows, and even some hatred. However, it was not finished, and less than half of the content was written. It turned out that Zheng was writing essays for his deceased husband. No wonder he was so sad. He even cried while writing. After reading it, Chen Yi became more and more sad. He regretted not coming in secretly like this, disturbing others' feelings, which was a bit of a sin!

I don’t know if it was Zheng’s suggestion or her own reasons, Xiaorou gave Chen Yi a gift and left the house, and dragged Shangguan Wan'er away, who was at a loss and shed tears. Only Chen Yi and Zheng were left in the house.

Zheng raised his tearful face and looked at Chen Yi. He wanted to speak but stopped several times.

"Madam Shangguan, I'm sorry to come here today and disturb you from writing articles!" Chen Yi turned to look at Zheng, and asked in confusion: "I just don't know why the lady wrote such a sad article? Is it a special day today?"

Zheng wiped his tears and looked up at Chen Yi bravely, "What the young master said is right. Today is the day of the deceased husband's death. The offender is sad, so he wants to write something for him! Please don't tell anyone, otherwise the offender..."

"Oh, so that's it!" Chen Yi nodded to show his understanding and was a little sad. It seemed that he had come today, and he actually encountered such a day. Not only did he disturb other people's longing, but he also made himself uncomfortable.

But when I came, I was not good to leave immediately. I stood a little embarrassedly and explained: "Madam Shangguan, I don't know that today is your husband's death day. I happened to enter the palace today and met Eunuch Chen. I came to see you mother and daughter by the way! I don't know how you are now and what you feel dissatisfied with. You can tell me that I will make a request with Eunuch Chen, and he will agree!"

Zheng stopped crying and shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness. The offender dare not make any requests. Now this is very satisfying. Thank you for your help. The offender cannot repay you! Please don't take care of anything in the future. The offender is a person who is guilty of being guilty. It is not worth it for you to do this!" She was still worried that Chen Yi would tell others about her missing her husband, especially Wu Zetian!

"It's nothing, it's just someone's entrusting!" Chen Yi smiled faintly and turned his attention to the case again. Zheng's unfinished eulogy was even more amazed after reading it carefully. Zheng's writing was delicate, and all her feelings were incorporated into this article, and the true feelings were written. Even people like him who had a headache for the ancients were moved. It seemed that the relationship between Zheng and Shangguan Tingzhi was quite deep.

Seeing Chen Yi reading what she wrote again, Zheng was shy and anxious, and was still frightened, and wanted to rush over and grab it again.

Chen Yi cooperated very well this time, but he didn't expect that after Chen Yi's Zheng family walked to the side of the case, he felt embarrassed to put away the manuscript, but his grievance and sadness surged up again and couldn't help but cry again.

"Madam Shangguan, people cannot be resurrected after death. Maybe your husband lives well in heaven. He doesn't want you to be sad. He definitely wants to see you and Wan'er live a good life and let you raise Wan'er!" Chen Yi lowered his voice to comfort him, "Some things cannot be done by manpower. No matter how sad the past is, they cannot be saved, and there is no way to make up for and revenge. You still have Wan'er now, she is still young, you are her only support. You must raise her well. What you can do, don't let her remember hatred, don't let her live in sadness. There is brightness on your face, and her life will be sunny!"

"Ah?!" Zheng looked at Chen Yi in surprise, and suddenly couldn't understand what the words meant.

"Don't think too much, live a good life and raise Wan'er!" Chen Yi didn't say anything, and left after throwing this sentence! (To be continued. Mobile phone users please read it.)
