Quick, female general, I traveled through time to save my father

Chapter 334: The Mother of the Bomen Raises Her Stepson 1

Ever since Sirong asked Xiao 5 to pull Muchen into the space to become the second host, they rarely acted alone to carry out missions.

The main reason is that when a person goes on a mission, the time in the world of Daqi Dynasty stops.

Although the person who stayed in Daqi Dynasty was conscious, the people around him became still pictures, which was also very boring.

So when Muchen was thrown into modern times by Xiao 5, Sirong also asked Xiao 5 to find a random task for her to do.

Then she was transported into a book and became the vicious stepmother of the affectionate and yandere male second.

When Sirong opened her eyes, the housekeeper of the Marquis' Mansion was taking the second male lead home.

Sirong took a closer look at Shen Junyao, who was only 8 years old.

He is very dark, very thin, with narrow shoulders, and shorter than other children of the same age.

He was wearing a coarse linen shorts that were washed white, with the cuffs and trouser legs too short, revealing his bony ankles and wrists.

He stood there without saying a word, his eyes lowered meekly, making it impossible to see his emotions.

The original owner was an orphan from a small border town. In order to protect herself in the border area, she married a young general in the army as his second wife.

Who knew that this young general would be so brave and courageous on the battlefield, not only achieving many military feats, but also luckily saving the prince who had come to gild himself. The great victory on the border delighted the emperor, who immediately bestowed the young general with the title of Marquis of Wuwei.

The original owner thus became the head lady of the Earl's house. This Shen Junyao was the child of Earl Wuwei from his previous marriage. When the imperial court was recruiting soldiers, he fostered the child in his eldest brother's home.

Now that the imperial court had bestowed upon him the Earl's Mansion, Earl Wuwei asked the original owner to return to the capital to manage the Earl's Mansion and bring the child back to look after him.

The original owner was a bit selfish, and believed in the saying that you can't get anything for nothing. So when the second male lead was brought back, he was casually sent to a remote courtyard.

He sent a servant about his age and left the matter alone.

The original owner was just a village woman, and when she arrived in a prosperous place like the capital, she was immediately dazzled.

She was busy socializing in the capital every day, a flower viewing banquet today, a poetry gathering tomorrow, and she kept talking about "our uncle." As for Shen Junyao? She had long forgotten about him.

So he didn't even notice the scars under the coarse clothes.

After the Earl returned from the war, he thought every day about how to have a child of his own who would inherit the Earl's Mansion in the future.

Therefore, the young Shen Junyao grew up in neglect and harsh treatment in the Wuwei Marquis' Mansion, and his personality became increasingly perverse and gloomy.

He was born with a photographic memory, but with no one to teach him, he could only sneak into the Earl's study and study hard all night long. Those military tomes and court strategies that the original owner had deliberately hidden became sharp weapons in his hands.

When he grew up, he had a bad temper, but was extremely smart and had a photographic memory. He soon became a leader of his generation.

He would use the most gentle attitude and say the sharpest words.

The original owner once ridiculed him in public: "A bastard raised in the countryside is worthy of touching the books of my uncle?" He would lower his eyes and chuckle, and say respectfully: "My mother is right." Then he turned around and made her ugly deeds into a nursery rhyme, and spread it throughout the capital through the mouths of street children.

At the age of seventeen, he stunned the Hanlin Academy with his poem "Border Town Fu" at a poetry gathering. The poem, a subtle satire on the greed of the powerful and wealthy, even impressed the Third Prince, saying, "If this boy were to enter the court, he would be a bloodless killer."

Wu Weibo finally faced up to his son, but by that time, Shen Junyao's character had already been formed and no one could change anything.

At the age of twenty, Shen Junyao had secretly controlled most of the power in the Earl's Mansion.

One night, he threw a stack of secret letters on Wu Weibo's desk: "Father is old, it's time to rest." The letter contained the evidence he had collected over the years: Wu Weibo killed innocent people during the war and claimed credit for it; the original owner had lent money and forced people to death...

"Resign and retire, and I'll protect your lives." He smiled gently, "Otherwise, tomorrow's memorial to the Censorate..."

Wu Weibo slumped down in despair. Three days later, a memorial arrived from the court stating that his old injury had relapsed and he was begging to retire.

The original owner was imprisoned in the ancestral hall, cursing madly: "I should have strangled you the moment you walked in!"

Shen Junyao burned incense slowly and calmly: "You taught me that mutton cannot be attached to a dog." The incense burner was mixed with hallucinogenic drugs, which made her see ghosts demanding her life day and night.

Half a year later, servants found her drowned in a lotus pond, with a piece of raw mutton tightly clutched in her hand.

The day he met the heroine, it was raining heavily. She had her sleeves soaked while trying to save a lame wild cat, but she smiled at the maid beside her: "All life suffers, and saving a life is a life."

At that moment, he suddenly remembered the sweet potato that Uncle Zhao had stuffed into his pocket during the freezing winter.

Later, when the Second Prince's rebellion failed, he spent all his family wealth to bribe the imperial guards and even personally presented the deed to the Earl's mansion: "Take it, in exchange for the life of her beloved."

Until the end, he watched the heroine ascend to the throne of queen step by step.

He then became a Taoist monk and traveled around the world, and his whereabouts were never seen again.

Sirong was thinking in her heart: How should I deal with this sudden stepson?

The housekeeper's voice suddenly sounded, interrupting her thoughts

"Madam, what do you think... which courtyard should the young master be placed in?"

Sirong came back to her senses, tapped the rim of the cup with her fingertips, pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke:

"Let him live in the wing of my yard for now."

The housekeeper was taken aback, obviously not expecting her to make such an arrangement. After all, there were many vacant courtyards in the mansion, and logically, the young master should have his own residence.

Sirong glanced at him, raised the corners of her lips slightly, and added with a smile:

"Have someone clean up Songxue Courtyard and once it's ready, let the young master move in."

Songxue Courtyard is right next to the main courtyard and is the second best courtyard in the Marquis's mansion. It is usually reserved for the most favored children of the Marquis's mansion.

The butler nodded in agreement, but secretly thought in his heart: It seems that the madam's arrangement still values ​​the young master very much.

These servants had just been summoned to the mansion and knew a little about the master's affairs, but not much. Even though he had been a housekeeper for a lifetime and was very experienced, he did not dare to easily guess his master's thoughts now.

The housekeeper went away to do his work, leaving only Sirong and Shen Junyao in the room.

The hall was quiet, and the only sound that could be heard was the rustling of bamboo leaves in the wind outside the window.

Shen Junyao was still standing there, his back straight, his eyes lowered, his expression calm and almost indifferent.

Sirong looked at him and her heart softened slightly.

The child is only eight years old, but he has already learned to protect himself with silence.

"Jun Yao, come and sit down."

Her voice was gentle and she waved to him.

Shen Junyao raised his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal. He walked slowly towards her and stood a little further away from her, but did not sit down immediately.

Sirong didn't urge him, but just gently pushed the dessert plate on the table and said with a smile:

"You've been traveling all the way, you must be hungry, right? Eat something first."
