Chapter 1041
No one knew that there was actually another mind in his heart.
That is, Shallow’s identity is a secret.
A secret that cannot be told in this world.
After all, even though he believed that Shallow really was from another planet and not a so-called monster, no one else would believe it.
Regardless of the other party’s intentions, as soon as Shallow’s secret was released anyway, she would be greeted with nothing but death.
He mustn’t let that happen to her.
So, in this world, everyone else who knows the secret has to die except him.
Including the Queen’s sister, whom Shallow called her friend.
But that, he knew, Shallow wouldn’t understand, so he never mentioned it.
But now that I think about it, if he had mentioned it sooner, would it have changed that outcome slightly?
But where in this world are there so many ifs?
Out-of-the-way as when he decided to use Shallow to steal the day and seize power.
He didn’t tell anyone about this plan either, including Shallow, who had entered the palace in his place.
At that time, he didn’t really think too much about it, he just subconsciously felt that after he had seized power, Shallow would naturally still be his person.
He would not hurt her, as he had done at first, and she still lived in his other house, waiting every day for him to return from court to watch the flowers and cook and talk with her.
He could have just one woman by his side, and from then on, there would be no more restraints or hostility, everything would be calm out there, and the two of them could live together in peace and quiet.
But man na, always can’t always think the way he wants, and the world can’t always go the way he wants.
That’s why, when, in the end, the truth of everything was revealed, Shallow looked at him with such disappointment and sadness, I guess.
She used to say that he was her only tie in this world.
Just because she trusted him and didn’t want him to get hurt, she was willing to give up her pride and enter the palace for him.
But what happened?
All that is ushered in is deception.
In spite of the millions of reasons, it is true that he destroyed the Sovereign Kingdom, it is true that he slaughtered the royal family full of people, she can’t forgive, nor can she face it anymore.
That’s why, in the end, when he was badly injured and fell there, she didn’t kill him, but instead put her own chip in him, I guess.
She said, I don’t want you to die, I want you to live to atone for your sins.
But who knows, for him, it’s actually worse to be alive than to be dead.
Whenever it was late at night and he was lying there alone, remembering all the past, he only felt as if his heart had been cut open by a knife, and there was a cold wind whistling through it, making his heart feel cold.
Shallow, are you okay?
You see, I’ve lived for so many years, and the sins I should have atoned for have long since been atoned for, so will you see me again now?
What if you’d just let me see you, even if it meant letting me topple the world again?
He reached out, his fingers staining the cool night breeze like a woman’s light k*ss, and his ears seemed to hear her pleasant laughter again.
“It’s winter, my lord, and you can see that it’s snowing in the sky.”
Nangong Jin curled her lips in satisfaction.
When Jenny woke up the next day, still in his bed, he couldn’t help but sneeze.
She rubbed her nose, wrapped the blanket tightly and asked, “Biden Lu, why is it so cold today?Is it raining?”
Biden Lu was standing in front of the window at this time, wearing a gray nightgown.
The curtain was half lifted by him to reveal the light outside, but unlike the scorching sun that Jenny was familiar with a few days ago, it actually seemed to be snowing outside, with small flakes of snowflakes falling in the wind.
She just caught a glimpse of it and was stunned.
In one fell swoop, I sat up in bed and crawled over towards the window.
“It’s snowing?How did that happen?”
Biden Lu lowered the curtains and came over, picking up her jacket and draping it over her shoulders.
“Yeah, I didn’t think it would snow in the desert either.”
Jenny frowned.
“It’s down to winter in the country now, but I thought it was supposed to be hot all year round over here.”
“Not really.”
Biden Lu faintly said, “I’ve heard before that this side will also have a month or two of winter, at that time, the temperature will suddenly become colder and the rain will gradually become more frequent, but it’s the first time I’ve ever seen snow.”
Jenny changed her clothes, got out of bed, went to the window, and pulled the curtains open.
It was only snowing not much outside, and to put it in Kyoto at home, it would be almost negligible.
But perhaps it was too rare on this side, so sparing such a small amount of snow, there were many people down there looking up like a spectacle, and some even cheered quietly.
They were all servants of the castle, having grown up on this side, and had about never really seen anything like it.
Jenny couldn’t help but laugh as she turned to Biden Lu and said, “Let’s go down and take a look.”
“Good.”
They both wore thick clothes as the weather turned cold.
Biden Lu took a coat and scarf, and even more wrapped Jenny Jing tightly, if not for the thought of not going out, I’m afraid she would have to wear a hat.
Jenny had no temper at all from him and just stood there laughing.
Only after dressing up did Biden Lu lead him downstairs.
Downstairs, Ann and Little Competeze were up early instead.
The children are hungry early in the morning, especially little Compete, and the boys are playful and hungry fast, yelling for food early in the morning.
At this moment, Mo Caiwei was feeding him a bowl of pearl rice dew that had just been brought up from the kitchen.
Seeing Jenny and the others coming down, little Jingze happily waved at them, as if offering a treasure and pointing to the dessert in front of him.
“Mummy, it’s delicious.”
Jenny smiled and rubbed his little head melon, “You drink more if it’s good.”
Mo Caiwei smiled, “It’s actually snowing outside today, I’ve been here for ten years and it’s the first time I’ve seen it, you guys can go out and take a look.”
Next to him, Quexu, who also had a hard time not going to the lab today, chimed in, “Don’t say you, I’ve been here for over thirty years and this is the first time I’ve seen it.”
He said, frowning and sighing at the snowflakes drifting outside.
“There’s a vision in the sky, it doesn’t look like anything good.”
Mo Caiwei sniffed and stared directly at him.
“Don’t you talk nonsense, what kind of heavenly visions are not good, this is not an ancient feudal society, you don’t propagate feudal superstitions here and so on, this is just normal weather changes.”
Jenny saw them fighting and didn’t get involved, pulling Biden Lu out.
A thin layer of ice had accumulated on the ground outside, and a glance at it showed that it had started last night.
Chapter 1042
Jenny Jing bent over to hold a handful of snow and smiled, “This is the first time I’ve seen snow in the desert, I’d like to see how it’s different from what we have there.”
Biden Lu saw the situation and pulled her up, slapping the snow out of her hands and said with a heavy face, “Don’t fool around, be careful of freezing.”
Jenny felt that this man was really meddling too much with her now.
Don’t touch her here, don’t move her there. She’s like a bean curd doll that will shatter if touched.
She didn’t giggle, “I’ll be fine, don’t get too nervous.”
I said, still holding out my hand to receive a few more snowflakes.
The snowflakes melted to the touch, and a piece of coolness melted into your fingertips, but it was something else.
Biden Lu was also a bit helpless at the sight of this.
There was nothing to do with her, eventually, but to let her go.
Jenny played with the snow for a while, and Ann ran off at some point.
She was wrapped in a small scarf today, wearing a white down jacket, and her whole body looked like a ball of little white glutinous rice gnocchi, a small face that already had a few points of beauty, though it hadn’t fully unfolded yet, could already be seen between those delicate brows and eyes.
She followed Jenny’s example and held a handful of snow, laughing and playing.
The servants not far away, who had originally seen them come out, were still a little nervous.
I’m afraid I’ll be scolded if they see me playing around here.
But now they all laughed when they saw that instead of scolding them, they were playing themselves.
Jenny was still pregnant in the end, and with Biden Lu on the side, she wouldn’t be allowed to play for too long.
So it was just a few minutes to pull her into the house.
Naturally, Ann was similarly pulled back.
Back in the room, the temperature picked up at once, and after a few people sat down on the sofa, Biden Lu gathered her small, cold hands in his palm and rubbed them.
Seeing this, Ann also leaned in and shoved one of her hands into Biden Lu’s arms.
“Daddy, I want it too.”
Biden Lu had no choice but to allow her to place her cold hands in his arms.
Mo Caiwei smiled, “There’s nothing to see in the snow in this place, but there’s a mountain over here, usually there’s a big sandstorm over there, not many people go there, after lunch later, if you guys are in the mood, we can go there together to take a look.”
Jenny’s eyes lit up at the words and immediately nodded, “Yes, yes, yes.”
So, after we all had lunch together, we took the bus out.
When we reached the base of the mountain, we realized that the snow was falling even harder on this side of the mountain, even blocking the road up to the top.
Since the road is blocked, naturally we can’t go up the mountain.
The group had no choice but to return.
When he returned, Jenny suddenly thought that he hadn’t bought anything this time out.
They can’t stay here for long, and they’ll probably have to go back in a few days, so they can’t pick a day to crash, so they might as well go buy the gifts they want to bring back today.
Biden Lu was fine with it, so the group of people headed to the mall instead of continuing to hit the road.
Entering the mall, Jenny had a hard time resisting the urge to buy and instead chose some handy gadgets to take away and buy to bring back.
It wasn’t that she was reluctant to spend money, it was really because she was out to buy gifts for her family this time, the old lady and the others didn’t come here, so she had to bring something back around.
If we buy too much and leave it here, and Mo Caiwei and the others don’t need it, and it’s troublesome to take it away, wouldn’t it be a waste?
Although the Lu family is large, it has always had an extremely good family culture.
Jenny usually tried to educate her children, and had always asked them to be frugal and thrifty, never to waste on purpose just because the family had money.
The good news is that both Ann and little Competeze are very sensible children and grew up in a loving atmosphere, so they are doing well in that regard, though.
After the group finished shopping, they saw that it was still early, so they were not in a hurry to go back, but found a place with a good view and had afternoon tea while watching the snow and the scenery.
While having afternoon tea, Quexu suddenly received a phone call.
I don’t know who the other guy was, what he said on the phone, but I saw his face change slightly.
After hanging up the phone, he said to Mo Caiwei, “Something happened over at the lab, I have to go over there.”
Mo Caiwei has always been understanding, and when she saw the situation, she was concerned, “Is it serious?No trouble?”
“It’s not clear yet.”
Quexu said as he stood up and looked at Jenny and Biden Lu.
“You guys keep playing, I have work to do so I’ll leave.”
Jenny nodded, and only then did Mo Caiwei worriedly say, “Then be careful on your way, and remember to come back early for dinner tonight.”
“Got it.”
After Quexu finished, he left.
Jenny watched his back as he left and asked, “Mom, what does Uncle Que’s lab mainly study?”
Mo Caiwei smiled, “I’m not sure about the details, but it’s all that pathology anyway, viruses and stuff.”
Jenny nodded.
“I had heard before that there was a ghost doctor who was superb in his medical skills, there is no disease in this world that he couldn’t cure, at that time I was thinking that such a person was unfortunately secluded and couldn’t be found even if I wanted to, but now I know that it was Uncle Que, I have to say that this thing of fate is really wonderful.”
Mo Caiwei also sighed, “Yeah, I’m actually thankful to have met him, if it wasn’t for him, maybe I would have died ten years ago, so how would I be here today?”
They chatted and drank afternoon tea.
It wasn’t until almost six o’clock that we left the teashop.
When she left, Mo Caiwei suddenly received a call from Quexiu.
On the phone, Quexu sounded a little excited.
“Cai Wei, are Jenny Jing and Biden Lu still with you?”
Mo Caiwei was stunned, turned to look at Jenny and Biden Lu and asked, “At ah, what’s wrong?”
“You tell them to wait for me inside the house, I’ll be right back, I have good news for them.”
Quexu said and hung up the phone.
Because she was standing so close, Jenny had actually heard the contents of the phone call when Mo Caiwei was talking on the phone just now.
Thus, now raising an eyebrow, he asked, “Uncle Que has something for us?”
Mo Caiwei nodded, also in a fog.
“He didn’t say exactly what it was about on the phone, but from the way he sounded, it sounded like a good thing.”
Jenny smiled, “Since it’s a good thing, let’s hurry back, there might really be some good news waiting for us.”
Mo Caiwei nodded.
So that’s when the group got in the car and drove home.
When I returned to the castle, I found that Quexu had returned.
Several people entered the door and saw a strange middle-aged man sitting on the couch in the living room.
Chapter 1043
As soon as they came in, the other stood up from the couch.
Perhaps because he didn’t know him well, he looked a little shy and awkward, and Mo Caiwei didn’t recognize him and looked at each other with Jenny and the others.
And then, at last, Quexu came out from behind.
“You’re back.”
Quixote came up, not knowing what he had just gone to do, and got some water on his hands.
At this time, he was wiping the water with a towel as he smiled and introduced, “As I told you before, I have a friend who is a botanical dana, today I’ve invited someone here to introduce him, this is the world-renowned botanist Wen Wenjun, Wenjun, this is my wife Mo Caiwei, these two are my wife’s daughter and son-in-law, Jenny, Biden Lu.It’s their baby.”
After introducing each and every one of them to Quexu, Wen Wenjun stepped forward and held out his hand.
“I’ve heard of Lu’s name for a long time, and it’s truly remarkable to see it today, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”
Biden Lu also reached out his hand and shook it with him, the corner of his lips curving up.
“Mr. Wen is the god of botany, and I’ve long wanted to meet him, but I never thought I would meet him today, it’s only because I’ve been looking up to him for a long time.”
Quexu smiled and said, “Alright, it’s all our own people, there’s no need to be polite, let’s sit down.”
So that’s when the group sat down on the couch.
Mo Caiwei sort of understood what was going on now.
Previously, Quexu had said that he wasn’t good at things like planting money plants and had to ask his good friend Wen Wenjun to do it.
At a glance today, he should have just invited the others over.
When there were guests in the house, Mo Caiwei, as the hostess, naturally had to treat them well.
So when everyone was seated, she went to the kitchen and ordered snacks and fruit to be made and cut.
And over here, in the living room, Quexu didn’t beat around the bush and just explained what he meant.
“Wenjun, the reason I asked you to come here this time, as I told you on the phone before, this money strain is related to the life of a friend of my two juniors, so I also ask that you make sure to help and research it to see if it’s possible to breed it.”
Wen Wenjun nodded.
“I know, since I’m a friend of Mr. Lu’s, of course I’ll do my best, but this money plant, I’ve only seen it in books and databases before, and I haven’t seen a physical object, nor do I have any experience in planting it, so I’m still not ten percent sure, so why don’t you take me to see that money plant now, so I can understand what’s going on.”
Quexu nodded.
“Okay, then you guys come with me.”
He said, standing up.
The rest of the group followed suit.
At this time, the adults had something to talk about, so Jenny asked the maids to take Ann and Little Competeze to the playroom to play.
The group of them, as they walked to the back of the flower room, Quexu was talking to Wen Wenjun about this incident.
When he reached the flower room, he opened a small door, which revealed the money plant plant planted in the jade box inside.
The moment he saw the money strain, Wen Wen’s eyes lit up.
Without saying anything, he quickly walked forward and bent over the money plant to carefully observe it.
Jenny Jing and Biden Lu, the two of them standing not far behind them, did not go up to disturb them.
And Quexu was standing next to him, staring at him as he observed the money strain as he asked, “Wenjun, it’s very delicate and the method of raising the plant is something I’ve never heard of before, so take a look and see if you’re sure you can breed another one out of it.”
Wen raised his hand, interrupting him.
Instead of saying anything, he took a magnifying glass from his jacket pocket and peered more closely into it.
Everyone looked at him curiously, wondering what he was going to do.
He only observed the entire money strain once before and after, and after a long time, he slammed his thighs.
“Wonderful!Really wonderful!”
A few people were foggy, looking at him and asking, “What’s wrong?”
Wen Wenjun turned around.
It was only then that I could see some thin redness on his face, like he was a little excited.
He pointed at the money strain and asked excitedly, “Do you know how many years this has been extinct?More than two hundred years, two hundred whole years, I’ve read in books before that this money strain is golden in colour, and the reason it’s called a money strain is that the fruit it bears is just like the copper money back then, and the colour is similar to gold, that’s why it got that name.”
“It is indeed delicate and will wither if you are not careful, and after it has withered the whole plant is useless, but because the jade is warm and moist, and it has grown up drawing water from the water source, it has to be raised in a jade box of fresh water, and you are right to do so.”
Quexu listened to the way he was talking, and he couldn’t help but feel a glimmer of hope.
“And according to you, do you have a way to grow another one out of it?Take the fruit from this top.”
Unexpectedly, the words were met with a frown from Wynne.
“I haven’t heard of how to grow this.And this fruit is extremely precious, if one doesn’t succeed in planting, this fruit will be destroyed, do you willing?”
“A man’s life is at stake, of course he’s willing.”
Wen Wenjun smiled right away.
“You guys just have to be willing, so I’ll just stay here for a while and work on how to grow it, and I’ll let you know when I’ve worked it out.”
He was quite rude, and as soon as Quexu looked at him like that, he knew that although he didn’t say anything, he actually had a few things in mind.
After all, they have been friends for many years and therefore know each other’s personalities well.
So, he immediately said, “No problem, as long as you help me get this done, I’ll acknowledge you as a big favor, and if there’s anything in the future, just tell me what to do.”
Biden Lu and Jenny Jing also said, “So do we.”
Wen Wenjun smiled and waved his hand, “That’s not necessary, I can research growing it for you, but after it’s done, you have to promise me one thing.”
Jenny asked, “What is it?You go ahead.”
“After it’s done, you’ll have to allow me to take one of the plants with me as a model for our research.”
Jenny was stunned.
He turned his head to look at Biden Lu, who nodded without a word.
That’s when she smiled and said, “Yes.”
Wen Wenjun was only really happy about this.
“Okay, that’s no problem, Old Que, you go and find me a jade box of the same kind right away, and then you’re not very good at this place, it has to grow in an extremely cool place, the light is still too strong in this place, and the temperature is not right, do you have any kind of place like an ice cellar here?”
Quexu was stunned, “An ice cellar?”
