Dressed as the mistress of the Hou family, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

Shen Ji paused, then stood outside, looking sideways at Wen Mo, and whispered, "Did you light the lamp?"

Wen Mo also felt strange and shook his head anxiously, "The little one came out at about the same time as the husband, how could he come back and light the lamp in the free time? Hey... the little one clearly remembered to close the door during the day..."

As he finished speaking, Wen Mo thought of something and raised his hand to stop Shen Ji with a nervous look on his face. "Sir, there is probably a thief! You run away first. I'll report the little one to the officer for arrest..."

"Which kind-hearted thief will light the lamp for you?" Shen Ji brushed his hand away and said in a helpless tone, "Go in and take a look."

Wen Mo was still worried, so he took two steps quickly and whispered, "Young man, please go ahead. If anything goes wrong, sir, run away immediately!"

Shen Ji sighed softly, shook his head, and followed him.

With just two steps, Wen Mo walked in fear and tiptoe, fearing that a thief would suddenly appear and kill him twice.

Seeing him lingering, Shen Ji couldn't help but stretched out his hand to push him away and strode ahead.

Wen Mo staggered a few steps and stood firm. When he saw his husband striding forward, he was not frightened at all. His face turned pale with fright, and he raised his feet and chased after him, "Sir, wait a minute!"

Shen Ji ignored the fool behind him, crossed the threshold, turned around the screen wall, and quickly came to the lobby.

The lights were on in the room, and the atmosphere was very depressing. Father Shen and Mother Shen were sitting on high seats on the left and right, looking at the door coldly.

As soon as Shen Jigang approached, he saw the two people's postures and frowned immediately.

"You traitor, why don't you come over and kneel down!"

Father Shen shouted angrily and slammed the crutch in his hand on the ground.

Shen Ji said nothing and stood in the courtyard holding an umbrella, motionless despite his father's calls.

When Father Shen saw this, his eyes widened and he shouted loudly, "Shen Ji, I can't control you anymore, can I?"

"Old Shen!" Mother Shen pushed him, looking angry, "My son just came back, what are you yelling about?"

Rather like a loving mother.

Father Shen snorted coldly and looked unhappy.

"Son, ignore your father, he is an old fool." Mother Shen stood up with a smile, walked out of the house slowly, stood under the eaves and waved to Shen Ji, "It's raining outside, come in quickly and talk, don't It’s wet.”

Hearing this, Shen Ji finally had some reaction, slowly put away the oil-paper umbrella and stepped into the house.

"That's right." Mother Shen had a loving look on her face and reached out to hold his arm, "There is no overnight hatred between parents and children. You have to learn to understand your parents. Without us, where would you be?"

"Indeed." Shen Ji glanced sideways and looked at her coldly, "Without the efforts of my second brother to fish me out of the lake, I wouldn't be where I am today."

As soon as the words came out, both Shen's father and Shen's mother's expressions changed.

"You..." Mother Shen let go of her hand, subconsciously took two steps back, and murmured, "Why did you..."

"How do I know?" Shen Ji twitched the corners of his lips and laughed at himself, "How can there be an airtight wall in this world? You can only hide it from me when I was young."

"Bastard!" Father Shen stood up tremblingly, his face full of anger, "Is this the way you should talk to us?"

"I have been kept in the dark for more than 20 years. What attitude do you want me to have?" Shen Ji's face was expressionless and his voice was cold. "I have already informed you before, but you suddenly came to your door today. What's the matter?"

"Aji, although we are not your biological parents, if it hadn't been for us all these years, you would have drowned in the lake long ago!" Mother Shen's face was hurt, with tears in her eyes, "The kindness of raising me is beyond heaven. , how can you treat us like this?"

"That's right." Shen Ji nodded, with cold eyes, "I can't avoid this kindness. I will hand over half of my monthly salary in the future, which can be regarded as providing for the two of you in old age. How nice is that?" "Why are you like this now? Look!" Shen's mother was greatly shocked and cursed loudly, "Did that bitch from Yongcheng Houfu provoke you? I... I'm going to tear her mouth open right now!"

As soon as Shen's mother turned around, someone pinched her wrist so hard that it hurt her.

Mother Shen felt pain and turned her head to look.

Shen Ji's face was gloomy and terrifying, his eyes were half-closed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Let me tell you one last time, don't go looking for trouble in Yongcheng Houfu, otherwise, I will also ruin your peaceful life."

"Bastard, I'd rather raise you than a pug!" Father Shen was so angry that he picked up the cane and swung it hard at Shen Ji.

The crutch fell on his shoulder, causing excruciating pain. Shen Ji pursed his thin lips and endured it without saying a word.

"Don't hit my husband!" Wen Mo reacted, rushed over quickly, turned around and stood in front of Shen Ji, turned his back to Father Shen, and took a few blows for him.

Hearing Wen Mo grunting in pain, Shen Ji couldn't bear it anymore and finally broke out, "That's enough!"

Shen Ji, who had always been submissive and put filial piety first, rarely got angry. Even Shen's father followed him and paused in the air with his crutch raised high.

Shen Ji had a stern face and said word by word, "If you continue to make trouble, you will get nothing."

"you!"

"Old Shen."

Father Shen came to his senses and was about to get angry when Mother Shen stopped him.

Shen's mother raised her head, her expression no better than Shen Ji's. She stared at him for a long time and then slapped him in the face.

Shen Ji didn't want to say any more, his face was distorted by the slap, and he just blinked.

"You bear the name of the Shen family, so you should be filial to us. If you scold you, you must endure it, and if you hit you, you have to bear it." Shen's mother tore off her disguise and no longer looked like a loving mother. Her eyebrows were full of calculations, "Every time Send all of Yue’s salary to the Shen family, otherwise... don’t blame me for taking you to the government and punishing you for being unfilial!"

After saying that, Mother Shen spat on the ground and said in a loud voice, "Old Shen, let's go."

Father Shen snorted heavily and left on crutches without looking at Shen Ji again.

The two of them left the house and took Shen Ji's umbrella with them.

A thunder struck, and the rain became heavier, extinguishing the lamp Wen Mo had thrown outside, and extinguishing Shen Ji's heart that had finally warmed up.

"Sir..." Wen Mo looked pale, looked at Shen Ji up and down, and whispered, "Are you okay? Does it hurt?"

Shen Ji shook his head and looked a little gentler when he looked at him, "I've suffered so much for you, so you don't have to block it for me."

"This is what a child should do." Wen Mo sighed softly, his eyes full of heartache, "The nurturing grace that the old man and the old lady said is just that he did not starve to death and freeze to death. He still lives a normal life. Such suffering, such a small favor, why should I spend my life's salary to pay it back?"

"It doesn't matter." Shen Ji's face turned a little pale, and there were obvious palm prints on the left side of his face. "I have already expected today's scene, and have already discussed it with the emperor. From now on, my monthly salary will only be one tael, and the excess will be all Replaced with something else."

"Even if they want to sue me, I have the emperor's support."

"Sir..." Wen Mo looked at him with a regretful expression, "You are really in trouble."

Shen Ji twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled. A woman's smile appeared in his mind, and his heart ached slightly.

For some reason, I suddenly wanted to see Madam. (End of chapter)
