Chapter 0116 – Intention of Falling Flowers (2 / 2)

Aunt Shen’s father was a scholar, and in the early years he was also a famous scholar. Unfortunately, the family is not well off, and has been in straitened circumstances since contracting the disease. If Auntie Shen had married into a commoner’s family, she would have been the rightful wife of the house, but in order to raise money for her father’s treatment, she had to pay for her own medical expenses. But in order to raise money for her father’s treatment, and looking at the high bride price of the Chen family, Auntie Shen married into the Chen family as a concubine.

Master Chen respected the readers, and at first he favored Auntie Shen. But not long after he gave birth to Chen Zi’an, Master Chen became like a different person, paying no attention to the Songfeng Yuan, letting Xu’s torture their mother and son.

Every time he thought about this, Chen Zian secretly frowned.

These days, the father somehow, to Aunt Shen began to courtesy up, and even to him this “crippled son”, are a few more points of sincere concern. Chen ZiMin was puzzled and inquired a few times, but Auntie Shen was avoiding the conversation.

It’s just a matter of slowing down and poking around a bit more in the coming days.

Chen Zian barely managed to pacify Aunt Shen for a few more sentences before asking Chang Rong to push him out the door.

Chang Rong had followed Chen Zian for many years, and when Chen Zian came down with a look, he knew what to do. He pushed Chen Zian to the back of a secluded wigwam and looked around, confirming that no one was there before returning, “Your Excellency, is there anything you wish to order?”

Chen Zian slowly pulled out a jade statue from his pocket, his voice slightly astringent: “Today is her birthday, Biyun Yuan is estimated to be busy for Aunt Butterfly’s production, it’s just good to mix in the busy time. You pick a face, quietly, send her there.”

Chang Rong busy received the jade statue, only to see that the jade statue texture warm and moist as fat, color glossy like moonlight, vaguely through a touch of emerald green. A Guanyin sitting on top of the lotus, eyes downcast, the corner of the mouth with a smile, one hand holding a vase, the other hand holding a willow branch, compassionate and peaceful, lifelike.

As soon as Chang Rong entered his hand, he knew that this was a rare treasure, and he couldn’t help but take a closer look at the Jade Goddess of Mercy, and suddenly exclaimed in a low voice:

“Sir, where did you find such a treasure? Surprisingly, there are still a few more resemblances between the eyebrows and the Fragrant Capsicum.”

Chen Zian was a bit embarrassed, “Some days ago, by chance, I obtained a piece of suet jade, which I carved myself. Although the technique is clumsy, I think she can understand my sincerity.”

Chang Rong was stunned, ”If this is clumsy, then I’m afraid no one in the world can be called an expert anymore! Your Excellency, you are also too god! You are on duty at the Yamen, you only get off duty at 5 o’clock, and you have to take time to study during the day off, so you can still practise the way of carving to such a high degree of perfection–“

Chen Zian laughed, “Alright, don’t kiss your Gongzi’s ass here, just go.”

Chang Rong nodded his head hurriedly and asked again, “Your Excellency, are you only sending gifts? Can you bring any message to Miss Xiang Capsicum?”

Chen Zian was stunned and added, “I only want her to be healthy and safe, and then I have nothing else to ask for.”

Chang Rong’s eyes trembled slightly as he nodded, carefully storing away the bottle of Jade Goddess of Mercy that was less than the size of a palm, and was just about to retreat when he heard a familiar female voice coming from him:

“So it is.”

Aunt Shen slowly walked out from behind the wigwam and said somewhat self-deprecatingly, “I said how you got the hang of it and were suddenly willing to come out for a walk. I didn’t realize that the son I raised with my own hands also has some things to avoid me.”

“Auntie!”

Chen Zian was a little short of breath and wanted to open his mouth to explain, but he was clumsy and didn’t know what to say.

He looked at Auntie Shen helplessly, her face only lost and self-deprecating, but no surprise color. It was only then that Chen Zian realized with hindsight that Auntie Shen had long been aware of the secret he had been carefully hiding.

Aunt Shen, however, walked forward and patted Chen Zian soothingly, “There’s no harm in that, Chang Rong will still have to go through some twists and turns to get there, so this kind of thing, it’s better to leave it to me.”
