Help! The villain Meiqiang is blackwashed by me!

Chapter 38 The spirit returns home

The carriage carried Shen Jinyu back to the door of the house given to him by the emperor. The word "Shen Mansion" was particularly eye-catching on the tall plaque. This would be Shen Jinyu's home from now on.

A home where he is the only one.

"Master is back!" As soon as Shen Jinyu stepped through the door, a fifty-year-old man greeted him enthusiastically and led him inside, "Master, my name is Fu Sheng, and I am the housekeeper in your house. These days While you are away, I have pretty much taken care of the affairs of the house,"

The man looks honest, short and thin, and walks with a slight limp.

"Well," Shen Jinyu nodded and said coldly, "Where is the ancestral hall? Take me there."

Fu Sheng: "Okay, the ancestral hall is next to your main courtyard. I will take you there."

The house that the emperor admired was very large. From the main courtyard to his bedroom, one had to go around a garden. There were rockeries, small lakes, pavilions and waterside pavilions built in sequence, which was quite elegant.

The candles in the ancestral hall were brightly lit, but the altar was empty. Fu Sheng walked him to the door and said, "Master, go ahead."

"Please step back," Shen Jinyu stepped into the ancestral hall. Fu Sheng stepped back wisely and closed the door.

Shen Jinyu took away the black cloth wrapping the spiritual tablets, placed the spiritual tablets of Shen Yuntao and Xiao Lan on the altar, placed the lotus knife in the middle of the spiritual tablets, added another stick of incense, and then knelt on the altar. Next, he kowtowed three times,

"Father, mother, please forgive me for taking so long to avenge you. The great revenge has been avenged. You can rest in peace under Jiuquan. However, the child will be destroyed in Changlin. You will blame me. It doesn't matter. I will wait for you later." I will go down and see you, and I will slowly apologize to you."

Shen Jinyu exhaled, feeling that his great revenge had been avenged. Logically speaking, he should feel relieved, but he couldn't relax. He always felt dull, breathless, and unsteady.

He knew in his heart that since the deal with Yi, he had stepped from the wolf's den of Changlin to the tiger's den of the imperial court. But he had no regrets. As long as he took revenge, he would not regret anything he had to pay.

It was late at night, and the candles in the ancestral hall made a beeping sound. The wind outside was a bit strong, and the window lattice made a "wow" sound, like a ghost crying.

Shen Jinyu knelt in the ancestral hall all night. When it was dawn the next day, he got up. His feet were already numb and unconscious.

He opened the door, and there was light snow falling outside. Snowflakes fell down one after another, and fell on his palms with ice and cold. He looked at the snow in the sky, and thought of Qi Yue, who was still missing. She loved him the most. It's a light snow day like this. You can go out and play in the snow without getting cold easily. I don't know where she is now, whether she has a place to rest on such a cold day, whether she is wearing warm clothes, and whether she is hungry.

Through the snowflakes, Shen Jinyu seemed to see Qi Yue playing in the snow in the yard that night. She was wearing a white cloak, and her white face looked even more dazzling than the snow under the snow. She had a pair of almond eyes. Big, juicy, eyelashes that are not thick but long and curly, curved when she smiles. There is a faint mole under the corner of her eye, which gives her a different kind of charm when she is not smiling.

Qi Yue's appearance has long been engraved in Shen Jinyu's mind. He can picture her every frown and smile without even thinking about it. She looks like a cheering bag when she is angry, and she looks like a cunning bird when she makes mistakes. Fox, when she is proud, she is like a kitten with its tail raised to the sky.

"Qi Yue, can you come back? No matter how angry you are, if you come back, Shen Jinyu will apologize to you. You can do whatever you want. Can you come back to me? Don't play with me and disappear. I can't bear it. Such a punishment."

His wandering thoughts were called back by the sudden appearance of Fu Sheng. Fu Sheng brought a bowl of steaming ginseng soup over and said worriedly, "Master, you have stayed in the ancestral hall all night. Go and warm yourself up with a bowl of ginseng soup." Quhan, I heard that when you returned home, many adults have already sent you gifts. The pile at the entrance of the main courtyard is almost full. There are also many greeting cards. What should you do with them?"

"They all refused, just say I'm not feeling well," Shen Jinyu took the ginseng soup and didn't drink it, but just warmed her hands in the soup bowl.

"Yes!" Fu Sheng led Shen Jinyu back to the bedroom and suddenly asked, "Master, do you know why I came to recruit the housekeeper of Shen's mansion?"

Shen Jinyu was puzzled by this question. Aren't all the servants in Shen's house arranged by the emperor?

Shen Jinyu did not answer, and Fu Sheng continued talking on his own, "Twenty years ago, when I was thirty years old, I had some problems with my legs since I was a child, and I walked with a slight limp. You must have noticed it, sir. Because Due to this problem, I could never find a wife, and I was always bullied by my fellow villagers. Later, when I was thirty, I managed to find a mute wife, but on the day I got married, a gangster from the village disrupted the wedding. I was kidnapped. Fortunately, my husband and his wife showed up and rescued my wife. They even ate my wedding wine. I have always remembered their kindness over the years, and it was only today that I finally had a place to repay. As soon as I heard about this After you became the owner of the mansion, you immediately came to answer the call. It took a lot of risks to hire me."

So, I didn’t expect that Fu Sheng and his parents would have this opportunity.

"Then what do you think my parents are like?" Shen Jinyu asked.

"Brother Shen is a very kind person. With such a high status, he actually came to drink the wedding wine of a lame and mute like me. It's really beyond my wildest dreams. As for Mrs. Shen, she has a short temper and a bad temper. I still remember her scolding that person. When they were gangsters, they were very talkative. I was stunned by the scoldings. When they came to have a wedding banquet, they were drunk. They kept talking to my mute wife, and asked why she didn't answer her. I was so anxious. My daughter-in-law kept gesticulating with her hands," Fu Sheng said with a smile.

Shen Jinyu couldn't help but laugh. He had never met his parents, and he didn't know what his parents were like. But now he heard it from others, as if those two people were standing in front of him alive.

I didn't expect that his father, who was famous for being gentle and gentle, could have such a hot temper. It was a magical combination.

Fu Sheng: "I have been looked down upon by others all my life. Brother Shen and his wife are the only ones who treat me as a normal person. I am very grateful from the bottom of my heart. I have always wanted to find an opportunity to repay them. I have been paying attention to them these years. Regarding Chang Lin, I heard a few days ago that you killed the murderer who killed Brother Shen. I was very happy. Later I heard that you had become an official and the government was recruiting people, so I came."

"Master, you don't have to worry. I'm not the court's spy. I'm here to repay my kindness. All the servants in this mansion were chosen by me, so you can rest assured." Fu Sheng knew Shen Jinyu's worries. Guaranteed.

"Okay," Shen Jinyu softened her expression and asked, "Where is your mute wife?"

Fu Sheng: "She is at home,"

Shen Jinyu said calmly, "Bring her over to the house another day. You don't have to worry about being alone there because she can't talk."

Fu Sheng clapped his hands happily, "Okay! Thank you, sir!"
