Shen Mengtong rubbed his eyes and looked at the person lying beside him. I'm not young anymore, I'm still handsome, and I'm still very energetic. She touched his face gently, this was the most powerful man in the Dafeng Dynasty, and it was also the support of her and the child in her belly.

"Awake?" the man said softly, "Is the child bothering you again?"

"No, the child is very well-behaved. Saying that, Shen Mengtong put the man's hand on his stomach and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, when will the concubine ......?"

"Soon, soon. ”

Shen Mengtong, who was lying in the man's arms, smiled reassuringly, but she didn't see the emotion in the man's eyes.

Shen Mengtong held his stomach for nine months, supported by several maids, and came to the prison. She looked up at the various torture instruments in the prison, listened to the sound of the leather whip beating on the flesh, and the screams of the prisoners, she could almost imagine the terrible situation of the woman in this prison.

Sure enough, when she walked to the place, she saw a woman with her head bowed and her hair disheveled, chained to the wall.

When the guards in the prison were about to come forward to ask, the maid beside Shen Mengtong took out a bag of silver from her waist and threw it over, and in an instant, the jailers opened the cell door with a smile and ran to the side.

Shen Mengtong covered his nose with his sleeve, and the maids simply cleaned up the cell with a very eye-catching look, the taste was slightly better, and they found a place for Shen Mengtong to sit.

"Sango, you stay, and the others go down first. ”

"Yes. ”

Coral is the person who Shen Mengtong has been with her since she got married, and she knows everything.

After the other maids left, Coral stood outside, watched Shen Mengtong walk to the woman against the wall, and said, "My good sister, I originally planned to let you marry into the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion in a beautiful manner." The dowry that Daddy prepared for you is really rich.

It's a dowry of one hundred and twenty units, and of course your mother's share is here. I took it all and prepared it for the baby in my belly. Whether it is a son or a daughter, they will enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth when they are born. ”

Shen Qiutong looked up at the person in front of him hatefully, if her eyes could kill, then Shen Mengtong had already been killed by her thousands of times.

"Hey, why don't you speak? Haven't you always liked to talk the most, a clever mouth, you can move Zhou Ying of the British Mansion to help you. Take you to learn with the famous teacher invited by the British government, needlework and female red, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Take you in the women's school, and bully people with those aristocratic ladies.

At home, you look like a wronged little daughter-in-law, which makes your grandmother cherish you very much. Even my mother was deceived by your mother and daughter at the beginning, so let me let you do more. ”

Shen Mengtong looked up into the distance, as if he was recalling something far away. She is the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Zhuguo's mansion and carries the hope of the family on her shoulders. Since she was a child, she has been arranged with various homework, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, needlework, and she has to study with her brother with her master.

She worked hard because she knew it was her duty.

's father has a lot of concubines, and Shen Qiutong's mother is very inconspicuous here. Not even a real place, the courtyard is the farthest place from the main courtyard. However, what she didn't like was that when her father was resting, he would always quietly go to Shen Qiutong's yard, pick her up, and turn in circles.

will also take Shen Qiutong and her mother to wait quietly, like ordinary people. Shen Qiutong would sit on his father's shoulder, hold his father's head, and then eat the candy man he bought on it.

She had seen it twice, and she felt glaring to see the smile on her father's face. It turns out that the laughter with us on weekdays is fake.

She was eleven years old at the time, her mother was already sick, and she began to take care of the house. Naturally, she wouldn't tell her mother about it. Moreover, she also tried not to let her mother and Shen Qiutong's mother and daughter come into contact, and they also took care of the affairs in their yard.

In this way, she discovered that Shen Qiutong's mother's yard revealed many strange places. There were only two mothers and daughters in the yard, as well as an old woman and a little girl. The expenses are as much as those in other yards.

She asked the butler what was going on.

The housekeeper just smiled mysteriously and said, this is all arranged by the Hou Ye.

She knew that this was not something she could ask. However, this unruly thing, my father can't manage it, and someone must be able to manage it.

There is also a bodhisattva in the house, and even my father does not dare to disobey her will. That's grandmother.

My father lost my father at a young age, and I was raised by my grandmother alone, earning a knighthood and supporting the façade, and my grandmother worked for ten years. When my father was able to take charge of himself, he rested completely, didn't care about anything, and stayed in the backyard to enjoy the blessings.

"You remember your grandmother, she treated you well, and she used to talk about you during the days you were locked in. ”

Shen Qiutong looked at her with contempt and said, "That old immortal said that he loved me, but what rules and rules are being whispered in my ear every day."

What is a concubine, you can't do this, you can't do that. The degree of food and clothing is one level lower than yours, and at the age of ten, you have to go into your mother's yard to learn the rules. When I saw my mother, I wanted to call my aunt, and when she died, I couldn't go there and see it myself.

When you get married, you have to pick a student from a poor family, or a concubine from a noble family. Why can you marry the fifth prince, I can only marry worse than you. Where am I inferior to you?"

Shen Mengtong looked at this woman who didn't know the height of the sky, and suddenly felt that he didn't know her anymore. However, after careful inspection, I found that she was indeed jealous of herself for so many years, and regarded her as an opponent.

"What are you laughing at?" Shen Qiutong said nonchalantly: "You haven't been happy for a few days, the fifth prince said that he would welcome me into the mansion and take your place." ”

Shen Mengtong shook his head with a smile, tears were about to come out. "You first provoked the fourth prince who was not good at his deeds, and then went to the bed of the fifth prince. Who do you think you are, you have been caught and raped in the inn. The five princes are grounded, and you are locked up here. Do you still expect him to save you?"

"He will come to my rescue, as he said, I am gentler and kinder than you, more considerate and obedient than you. Therefore, between you and me, he will choose you as his wife, but he will choose me as the continuation. Shen Qiutong looked at his sister proudly and said, "You don't know yet, someone has already tampered with your food." A year, a year, you will die silently. ”

Shen Mengtong smiled helplessly and said, "I guess, this poison should have been done by your aunt when I was in the Pillar Country Marquis Mansion." And my mother guessed she was the one who did it, right? ”

"You know what, my aunt is dead. No one can solve her poison. ”
