Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 431 Shocking News
Mrs. Shen walked over to Master Shen and asked softly, "Master, what's the matter?"

Master Shen raised his hand, and the servant who delivered the message swallowed hard, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and hurriedly retreated.

"Master." Mrs. Shen reminded in Master Shen's ear, "Everyone is watching you."

Master Shen suddenly came back to his senses, with a forced smile on his face: "No problem, no problem, everyone, go on, go on!"

As he spoke, he held Madam Shen's hand tightly, and lowered his head sideways to whisper something to Madam Shen.

Madam Shen's face immediately turned pale with shock, and she looked at Master Shen in disbelief.

Master Shen's face was very gloomy. After pondering for a moment, he called the servant to give orders. The servant nodded, and then walked towards Fourth Master Shen.

Li Xin took a piece of hibiscus cake and squeezed it into his mouth, it melted in his mouth.The guests continued to chat loudly, and the bustling voices suddenly sounded around again.

Xue Qingyan said: "Aunt Guan, do you find it noisy?"

Li Xin shook his head slightly, Xue Qingyan said: "I think it's very noisy." Xue Qingyan pursed his lips: "I don't really like this kind of atmosphere."

As he said that, he got up, bowed to Xue Qian and said, "Father, Qingyan has eaten, so I will step back."

Facing Xue Qian, Xue Qingyan's attitude is not like that of his close son, but rather like a subordinate, his words and deeds are almost rigid.

Xue Qian didn't think it was disobedient, nodded and said: "Say hello to all uncles."

Xue Qingyan nodded. He bowed to the elders at the table and then left. Before leaving, he glanced at Li Xin again, pursed his lips, and finally showed a smile.

Li Xin smiled and looked at Xue Qingyan's back that was fading away.

He was just an 11-year-old boy. Strictly speaking, such a boy was only in the fourth and fifth grades of elementary school.What was she doing in the fourth and fifth grades of primary school?

Holding the Chinese textbook and reciting the text, or are you reviewing the ninety-nine multiplication formulas?Or, are you having a headache for the ideological and moral course, or are you looking forward to the music class and physical education class that are equivalent to having fun?

Li Xin sighed softly in his heart, and inadvertently glanced at Xue Qian's side face.

Xue Qian also had a cold expression on his only son.I don't know what is important in this person's life.

However, this has nothing to do with her, and she just feels a little pity for the boy who just met today.

This wedding banquet can be regarded as a joyous event for the host and guests, since the young man came to spread the word, Master Shen, Mrs. Shen and Fourth Master Shen have disappeared, maybe there is something to be resolved.

After the wedding ceremony was completed, Miss An officially became the daughter-in-law of the Shen family, and Guan Wen and Li Xin were finally able to let go of one of their worries.

Guan Wen's face became much more relaxed. After Xue Qingyan left, he moved back to sit beside Li Xin.After waiting for a long time, people came and sat down beside Xue Qian.

Third Master Shen stretched out his hand and patted Xue Qian's shoulder for fear, and asked, "Is it okay to eat?"

"Not bad." Xue Qian nodded and said, "There are a few dishes, did you invite your chef from Fumanlou to cook?"

Third Master Shen smiled and said: "Father talks about ostentation, and the wedding banquet has a relatively high standard. There is also a banquet at Fumanlou to receive other guests."

A maid came up to change a new set of dishes, chopsticks and chopsticks. Mr. Shen gave a toast to everyone present and drank the wine.

Xue Qian asked: "It seems that Uncle Shi has something to do. Just now when the young man passed on the message, Uncle Shi looked a bit unhappy. Is it a business matter?"

Mr. Shen shrugged: "I never ask about his business matters. But business matters should not make him look so ugly." Mr. Shen and Xue Qian had another drink: "The rest I have It's out of control."

Third Master Shen gulped it down and said, "I'm going back to Youzhou in a few days. This time I'm going back to my hometown for too long. It's been half a year."

Xue Qian was silent for a moment, then said: "Let's talk about it in a few days."

Third Master Shen nodded.

What the Shen family provided was high-quality aged wine, which tasted sweet and mellow. The guests present had a great time eating and drinking, and many of them got drunk.The maids and servants shuttled among them to help the drunken people to rest. Mr. Shen and Xue Qian were determined and not drunk.

After Li Xin married Guan Wen, Guan Wen seldom drank alcohol. The only time he got drunk and made jokes in front of Li Xin was the time when he reconciled with Sun Hongyan.Guan Wen also restrained himself from pushing a lot of wine today, but after all he drank some and felt a little tipsy.

Han Kui sent a servant girl to guide them to rest in the wing room. Guan Wen sat in the wing room and closed his eyes to rest his mind. Li Xin stood in front of the door of the wing room. Some apprehension.In addition, hearing Mr. Shen say that business matters would not make Mr. Shen look so ugly, he was even more worried.

Li Xin pushed Guan Wen lightly, and told him what was on his mind.

Guan Wen was just a little drunk, not drunk. After listening to Li Xin's words, he thought about it carefully and said, "It's not about business, it must be something that Master Shen cares about."

"The thing that Mr. Shen cares about now is Fourth Master Shen's marriage?" Li Xin pondered, "Fourth Master Shen and Miss An's family are already married, and the wedding ceremony has passed, and Fourth Master Shen's life-long event has been settled. Is there anything else that will change Master Shen's face? Could it be that the marriage has changed?"

Guan Wen was silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly: "On such a day and occasion, Master Shen must keep a calm face no matter what. As guests, it is impossible for us to know the hidden truth."

Li Xin naturally knew this truth, but she just felt a little restless.

Originally, when they came to the Shen family to observe the ceremony today, they already had some meaning of "surveillance" in their hearts, and they would feel at ease only after seeing Miss An become Shen's wife.Seeing that the wedding ceremony was over, they also thought that after eating this meal, everything would be settled and everyone would return to their original standing positions.

But there was a change in the middle, the panicked behavior of the boy, and the face of Master Shen who turned pale after hearing the boy's words made Li Xin have to mind.

Li Xin guarded Guan Wen, Guan Wen fell asleep, and woke up only half an hour later.After drinking a glass of water, Guan Wen felt refreshed. Seeing Li Xin's worried expression, he thought for a while and said, "Why don't we ask someone to find out? It also saves us from guessing."

"You also said that, as guests, it is impossible for us to know the hidden secrets." Li Xin shook his head and said, "Furthermore, the Shen family runs the family very strictly. and won’t tell us.”

The couple sat opposite each other for a while, but decided to say goodbye to Mrs. Shen and Fourth Master Shen.

Unexpectedly, I asked a little steward, but the little steward said that my wife and fourth master were not in the mansion.Hearing that they were saying goodbye, he went to tell Han Kui.

Han Kui actually had a look of worry on his face, and he didn't try to keep Guan Wen and Li Xin. He just said, "If the reception is not good today, brother Guan, please invite more Haihan. There are too many people, and we can't take care of them."

Guan Wen naturally said no problem, they understood, Han Kui said: "The two of you must have something to do at home, since you have to leave, I won't stay any longer."

Han Kui summoned someone to prepare a return gift for Guan Wen and Li Xin, which was a set of practical four treasures of the study.

"Madam knew that brother Guan, your adopted son is going to school, so she specially ordered someone to buy this set of four treasures of the study." Han Kui pushed the gift in front of Guan Wen: "Please don't be disgusted with brother Guan and younger siblings."

"Brother Han, this is also..."

"No problem." Han Kui raised his hand and said, "Brother Guan just accept it, this is our Shen residence's wish."

Guan Wen had no choice but to ask Han Kui to convey his and Li Xin's thanks on his behalf.

"I ordered the people below to prepare a carriage for you." Han Kui said, "I'll take you out."

When they sat in the carriage, and the carriage started heading towards the Lotus Village, both Guan Wen and Li Xin were still a little bit stunned.

Looking at Han Kui's behavior, it seemed that he was eagerly asking them to leave.

Guan Wen whispered to Li Xin, "Something must have happened to the Shen family."

Li Xin nodded solemnly.

Back in Hehua Village, Guan Wen went to the old house without stopping.Li Xin went to Amei and asked her if her second brother told her what happened. Amei shook her head and said, "No, my second brother has not come back from the old house. When I sent him lunch, he also said Nothing happened."

Feng De stretched his arms and went to the hall, helping another man from the Gu family to carry a thick short pile. Li Xin called him to stop, and Feng Defa hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law Guan."

"Second Brother Feng, you went back to the old house early this morning, but are you going again?"

"No." Feng Defa hurriedly replied: "I just woke up from sleep and didn't have much time."

Li Xin was right when he thought about it. Feng Defa stayed on guard last night, and it is normal for Feng Defa to wake up just now after catching up on sleep.

After a while, Guan Wen and Guan Wu came back together.

Guan Wu called Li Xin a sister-in-law, Guan Wen shook his head and said, "Second brother said that he has been guarding today, and Xiao Liu has never gone out."

Guan Wu then said: "Sister-in-law, what happened over there? I promise I've been watching, Guan Zhicheng didn't even take a step out of the door, and even the gate of the courtyard was tightly closed all the time. .”

Li Xin rubbed his chin: "That's weird... What is it that makes Master Shen look so ugly..."

Guan Wen patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't make wild guesses, Xiao Liu hasn't been out before, so it should have nothing to do with him."

Li Xin pondered: "I hope so..."

However, two days later, Li Xin and Guan Wen heard an explosive news.

Brother Yue went to the town and came back to talk about the new things in the town, but he talked about the fact that the Shen family and the An family formed a son-daughter family.

"...I don't know what kind of evil I got, how did you say this happened? On the day my daughter got married, the father lost his life inexplicably..." Brother Yue said to the men around him: " It is said that the old man of the Shen family tried his best to seal the news that day, so that the marriage could be completed smoothly, but after all, the fire could not be covered with paper, so the people who settled down replaced the red silk cloth and hung up the white banner that night , the big Xi character was suddenly replaced by the word Dian, and I don't know if the fourth master of the Shen family and Miss An have entered the bridal chamber..."

When Guan Wen heard the news from Guan Wu, he and Li Xin were immediately dumbfounded.

Master An, is he dead?
