After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

Chapter 304

On New Year's Eve, everything around was bustling and bustling.

In such an environment, Shen Ruoyan couldn't help but think of Lu Yan.

On New Year's Eve last year, she was still worried about how to break off the engagement. That night, Lu Yan suddenly barged in. He was usually such a cool and calm person, but he was drunk that day. He must have thought of something sad.

She remembers that Lu Yan packed his year's salary into a red envelope and gave it to her, and took her to the tomb of General Lu and Sister Fairy. At that time, she had not remembered Sister Fairy, but when she remembered it after a year, she just remembered it. Feeling that the world is a trick, the longing in Shen Ruoyan's heart becomes more intense.

I wonder if Lu Yan arrived in Yizhou safely?

The conditions there are so difficult, how do they spend this New Year?

And did he miss each other as much as he did?

That cold figure appeared in her mind, and a sourness surged in Shen Ruoyan's chest, and she felt that all the excitement around her had become unreal.

"Miss, come watch the fireworks with us." Qin'er didn't notice Shen Ruoyan's depression, smiled and took her hand, and excitedly pulled Shen Ruoyan towards the crowd.

Shen Ruoyan really couldn't muster the energy, shook her head, pretended that she was tired, said goodbye to the noise, and went into the house alone.

After closing the door, my ears suddenly became quiet.

There was no fire in the room, and there was a crisp chill in the air.

Shen Ruoyan walked to the desk, spread out the pen and paper, and planned to write a letter to Lu Yan. As soon as she finished a few lines, there was a light knock on the door.

"Miss Shen, this is sent by the Young Pavilion Master." A man in black clothes said and handed a wooden box into Shen Ruoyan's hand.

Lu Yan sent it?

Could it be a New Year gift?

Taking the wooden box with her bare hands and holding this unexpected surprise, Shen Ruoyan couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips.

Opening the wooden box, what you see is an extremely exquisite set of hairpins, beaded hairpins, side phoenixes, and noodle flowers. There are more than [-] pieces in total. Even the earrings are matched with one long and one short. The variety of styles shows the attentiveness of the gift giver.

Shen Ruoyan picked up one and looked at it. A blood-red gem of excellent quality was set on the top. Together with the complicated patterns around it, it formed a word "Fu". The tassels below were swaying, gently swaying to reflect the infinite starlight. .

What girl wouldn’t like jewelry, let alone such exquisite jewelry.

Shen Ruoyan held Bu Yao, feeling happy in her heart, but she always felt that something was missing. She looked carefully into the wooden box until she found a piece of letter paper hidden at the bottom of the wooden box.

Her heart skipped a beat uncontrollably. Shen Ruoyan carefully opened the letter and found that there was only a short line of words inside:

Ayan, happy new year.

Shen Ruoyan smiled mockingly.

What on earth was he expecting just now? How could someone with such a cold personality like Lu Yan say anything affectionate to him?

When I lowered my eyelids, I accidentally discovered a red bean pressed under the letter.

It had been some time since the red beans were picked, and the original bright red color had turned into a light brown color.

Looking at this withered red bean, Shen Ruoyan instantly forgot about the dazzling ruby ​​head and face just now, and the corners of her mouth turned up uncontrollably.

The red bean is born in the southern country, and a few sprigs come out in spring.

May Jun pick more, this thing is the most acacia.

It turns out that Lu Yan, who is not good at words, can also express himself.

Just as Shen Ruochuan was immersed in joy, there were several more knocks on the door.

Opening the door, she saw the same man in black as before. Shen Ruoyan asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

The man's eyes were sharp and bright like a lone wolf hunting in the dark night, and he brought the news that Shen Ruoyan had been waiting for for a long time: "Miss Shen, Xia Meng has entered Mr. Shen's study."

Shen Ruoyan's eyes suddenly lit up.

Xia Meng finally takes action!

"I'll go over now." Shen Ruoyan put the red beans in her hand back into the wooden box, and then said to the man in black, "By the way, go and inform my father."

After saying that, he hurriedly walked to Master Shen's study.

It turned out that after Xia Meng was driven back to her house, she lost her temper. However, after she had been fussing for a long time, she found that no one paid any attention to her.

Several maids and women who took care of her on weekdays gathered together to chat and eat happily, as if they had forgotten her.

Seeing everyone gathered together, the laughter and laughter continued to reach Xia Meng's ears. She was so angry that she dropped the tea cup, but an idea suddenly came to her mind.

It was New Year's Eve and everyone was busy keeping vigil, so no one noticed her at all.

Isn't now a good time to complete the task assigned to her by her master?

In the past, Xia Meng had wandered in front of Master Shen's study several times on the pretext of getting some fresh air.

Xia Meng found that no matter whether Mr. Shen was in court or not, there was a boy standing at the door of the study, guarding the door cautiously. She could not find any chance to sneak in.But today is New Year's Eve, and everyone is immersed in the joy and laughter of the New Year. Naturally, no one will pay attention to the study, so Xia Meng took advantage of the dark moon and high wind to sneak into Master Shen's study.

Because she was afraid of being noticed, Xia Meng didn't dare to light a lamp and fumbled in the dark for a while before hiding the things.

She exhaled, patted her chest, and felt a big stone lifted from her heart.

Now I can finally explain something to Taifu.

In the future, as long as she works hard to hook up with Shen Ruochuan and gives birth to the child in her belly safely, she will be able to find a place in the Shangshu Mansion, and she will never have to go back to the torturous life of the past.

Xia Meng crouched and found the door of the study room. He was about to open the door and go out, but at this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

"Ah~"

Xia Meng screamed subconsciously. Since she was standing behind the door, she could not escape and was caught on the spot.

Under the pure white moonlight, stood a girl with bright eyes and white teeth.

The cold white moonlight caressed the girl's body, making her jade bones and ice muscles look more and more like a fairy who secretly descended from the moon palace.

Maybe beauty can easily deceive people.

Xia Meng saw that the person who came was Shen Ruoyan, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She instinctively felt that this extremely beautiful little girl should be as simple and kind as other daughters of aristocratic families in purdah, and easy to fool.

Shen Ruoyan looked at Xia Meng steadily, with a shining light in her eyes. When she spoke, her tone was calm, "What were you doing in my father's study on the night of New Year's Eve?"

Xia Meng swallowed her saliva and comforted herself that the other party was just a woman who had not left the government. She tried to calm down and made an excuse at random: "I...I...I am bored at night, so I just want to hang out."
