Chapter 311 You and Shen Lanzhi are really not brothers?
The carriage drove on the snow-white official road and soon arrived outside the post station.
At this time, the two servants who were sweeping outside the door saw a woman sitting in Shen Chuan's carriage with a child, and they almost dropped their jaws in shock!
"Why would the Marshal bring back women and children?"
"I don't know, maybe a friend?"
"How is that possible? The Marshal is full of murderous aura. Apart from Mr. Xu, who would dare to be his friend? Are you trying to save your life?"
"Look, the Marshal is so close to that woman! Could this woman be the Marshal's woman?"
The other man's face turned pale upon hearing this, and he quickly pushed him, "Do you want to die? You dare to discuss the Marshal's private affairs!"
"Oh, they can't hear me from so far away. I'm not stupid, I won't make a big fuss about it."
Their voices were indeed very soft and they were very far away. Adding to the loud noise from the motorcade, even Shu He didn't hear anything. However, a chilling chill was already emanating from under that cold mask.
Shu He noticed the changes in the people around him, and when he saw Xiao Yier shrinking into his arms, he couldn't help but frown, "You're fine, can you control your emotions? My child is timid, you'll scare her like this!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Chuan's gaze fell on the timid child's face, and his aura inexplicably softened.
Yi'er was secretly looking at him. When their eyes met, the pair of eyes that exuded gentleness and kindness, without any edges, made her feel less scared.
She sat up from Shu He, with a look of curiosity on her face, pointed at his mask and asked, "Uncle, why are you wearing this?"
Shu He was embarrassed and patted Yi'er's shoulder lightly, "Yi'er, uncle is..."
"Because wearing a mask is like wearing a protective shell, it will protect you from being bullied."
Unexpectedly, Shen Chuan actually spoke seriously and responded to Yi'er's question, and her voice was so gentle and kind.
When Shu He was stunned, Shen Chuan asked again, "Yier, are you unhappy today?"
Seeing her nod, Shen Chuan took out a small fiery red mask from behind.
This mask does not look as eerie and scary as the one on his face. Instead, it has a touch of silly and cute feeling, like a fiery red fox.
"This is for you. It's called Bifang, a very powerful mythical beast. When you wear it, it will appear by your side and protect you, so that no one will dare to hurt you."
Yi'er took the mask doubtfully, a hint of fondness in her eyes, and asked innocently, "Is it true?"
"of course it's true!"
His voice was light and soft, not as deep as before. Perhaps because of the mask, his voice had a bit of an echo, as if it had its own reverberation.
Shu He was a little surprised. Why did this voice sound so much like Shen Lanzhi's?
Seeing how confident he was, Yier really tried to put on the mask.
This mask fits her perfectly, as if it was tailor-made for her.
She looked at him in surprise, wondering why he had such a small mask and why he carried it with him?
"Are you a little happier? A little braver?"
Yier looked out into the outside world through the two holes in front of her eyes, and she really felt as if a protective wall had been built around her, protecting her tightly.
"Yeah! It seems like there really is."
Yier laughed, and her voice became a little more cheerful, "Mom, is Yier pretty?"
A gentle smile appeared on Shu He's face, and he praised, "Well, it looks good, really beautiful!"
Upon hearing this, Yi'er looked at Shen Chuan and tilted her head to smile at him, "Thank you, uncle!"
A smile appeared on his face beneath the mask, and even his eyes showed a hint of gentleness.
Looking at Yi'er wearing a small mask, another person seemed to appear in his eyes.
Once upon a time, he coaxed another person into wearing a mask in the same way.
Shu He looked at this scene and couldn't believe it.
I didn’t expect that the feared Shen Chuan actually had such a side to him!
Marshal Beidi is coaxing a child online. If this is told to others, I’m afraid no one will believe it, right?
For a moment, she even saw the shadow of Shen Lanzhi in him.
Shen Chuan took her eyes off Yi'er and noticed Shu He's strange look. She immediately restrained her emotions and became indifferent again. Even her shoulders and back were stiff as if they had thorns.
Shu He sighed, the speed of changing her face was exactly the same as Shen Lanzhi's!
"You and Shen Lanzhi are really not brothers?" She couldn't help but ask again.
Shen Chuan's voice deepened again, and there was a hint of danger in her eyes. "Of course not! Why do you ask?"
Shu He shrugged lightly. "If there's nothing, then there's nothing. Why are you looking at me like that? It's like I stepped on your tail."
The carriage arrived at the entrance of the post station. Shu He got off the carriage holding Yi'er, and Shen Chuan carried her medicine box. They both walked into the post station at the same time.
This scene really stunned the people outside.
After they walked away, the person who had been talking about it before said proudly, "I told you, look at the Marshal's intimate attitude towards that woman. If she wasn't his lover, you would have dug out my eyes!"
"Stop talking, he's the Marshal, don't you want to die?!"
"..."
At this moment, Shen Chuan, who had walked to the end of the front yard, suddenly turned around and locked his eyes on the two servants from the post station.
After passing through several courtyards, Shu He was led to a side yard.
The yard was large, covered in snow, and silent.
There were no servants or guards, only a cleared bluestone path and a clean stone table, and the surroundings were all clean and covered with snow.
Shen Chuan pushed open the door of one of the rooms. It was dark and cold inside, and all the windows were closed. Only deep and suppressed groans of pain echoed in the huge space.
Yi'er clung to Shu He in fear.
Seeing this, Shen Chuan whispered, "If you have some trust in me, you can leave Yi'er outside the door. I will watch over her here."
Shu He hesitated.
Counting on her fingers, she had only met Shen Chuan three times. It was impossible for her to safely hand the child over to him!
However, she was indeed worried that Yi'er would have psychological trauma if she brought her into such a dim environment. After all, this environment was very similar to the one they lived in when they were in the western suburbs of Yuancheng.
If I had known this would happen, I would have brought Nan with me.
Shen Chuan added, "The person inside is afraid of light, and she might not be in a good condition. If I bring the child in, I'm afraid she will be scared."
"Besides, haven't we already reached a deal? As partners, you shouldn't even have this little bit of trust, right?"
Shu He was somewhat persuaded.
At this time, Yi'er seemed to understand that she had something to do, so she said very considerately, "Mom, you go, I have Bifang, I'm not afraid!"
"Besides, Yi'er is very powerful now and can beat the bad guys away!"
Shu He rubbed her face and said, "Well, our Yi'er has become much braver!"
"Then you can play here for a while. If you need anything, call me. Mom will come out as soon as possible!"
Yi'er responded obediently, "Yes! Okay!"
Only after seeing her playing with snow in the yard did Shu He feel at ease and go into the house.
