Chapter 003: Don't Hide It
After a long time, Shen Liancheng showed a refreshing and neat appearance under Qingling's dress. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Placket clothes, riding boots, and crowns, do not hide that they are daughters, but they pretend to be men's demeanor and heroism. This is Shen Liancheng's usual outfit when he goes out.
In this era of ethnic integration, it is not uncommon for women from large families to dress up like this, but not all daughters' families can dress up as decently and extraordinarily as Shen Liancheng.
After all, Shen Liancheng is the daughter of the beautiful man Shen Zhongshu. Shen Zhongshu's reputation is well known to everyone in Lin'an City. Naturally, none of his children is backward in appearance. Shen Liancheng even got his "true biography", he was beautiful and captivating, he was dressed in a bearded costume and walked outside, and there would be many people who looked back and admired his color!
Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, recalling those times when he was admired, Shen Liancheng secretly urged himself in his heart: find a way to completely dissolve the Gu poison and be a person who will be admired for a lifetime.
And just when she was about to go out with Qingling, the dishes were made in the next room and delivered.
Before ending the life of the previous life, Shen Liancheng went from Lin'an to Saiwai, and he didn't know how much he suffered for more than three months, and he didn't get a little oil foam in his mouth until he died. At present, she is not hungry, but hungry. So, she decided to have a few bites of food before going out.
Tasting the delicious food, thinking about the bitterness of the previous life, I almost shed tears several times.
In the last three months, she went to the barracks to work as a camp prostitute, and she barely survived with a glimmer of hope for the man she loved.
He said he would find a way to take her away, but he couldn't make it until she was taken to the barracks. She knew that his family must have stopped him, so she didn't blame him, and just calmly chose to cut her throat before serving the soldiers, and put an end to everything.
Thinking about it now, she knew that the more than three months of waiting was fruitless, and she must have chosen to die on the day the Shen family was raided.
"Son-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Qingling saw the sparkle in the master's eyes, no matter how calm her temperament was, she couldn't help but exclaim, which attracted the eyes of the slaves who were waiting on the sidelines. In her impression, Shen Liancheng had never been in such a sad state.
"Spicy...... It's so spicy! I didn't eat it. Shen Liancheng put down the dishes and chopsticks, and then got up, "Let's go." ”
However, Shen Liancheng is not afraid of being spicy. Qingling opened her mouth to follow, intending to leave the Peony Pavilion and inquire again. As soon as he walked out of the Peony Pavilion, he saw the second lady Shen Ruxiu.
Shen Ruxiu, who is less than thirteen years old, looks like Shen Liancheng's sister because of her tall figure, wavy chest, thin face, and ladylike temperament. However, she is dignified and graceful on weekdays, but now she is a pear blossom that has been beaten by the rain and duckweed that has been swept by the wind.
Her mother is none other than Cai Ji. The food that Shen Liancheng had eaten before he passed out from Gu poisoning two days ago, bay leaf tofu, was sent by Cai Ji.
Originally, Cai Ji didn't have any affection for Shen Liancheng, and gave her a bowl of fragrant leaf tofu at the right time, and when Shen Liancheng ate it, he knew that the other party had something to ask for.
Cai Ji is not a person who has nothing to do.
In the previous life, before Shen Liancheng could know Cai Ji's intentions, Cai Ji was "voluntarily confessed" that she was the one who put Gu poison in the fragrant leaf tofu. Her daughter Shen Ruxiu was still desperately crying out for her mother, and when she heard the news of her mother's confession, she fainted immediately, and then she was depressed all day long, and she simply fell ill and refused to take the medicine, so she didn't even suffer on her thirteenth birthday......
Goodbye Shen Ruxiu, Shen Liancheng almost felt a little guilty. If it weren't for the fact that she carelessly believed Cai Ji's confession in her previous life, her second sister would not have ended up like that.
"Sister, the Gu poison in your body must not have been done by my aunt! Although I don't know why she made bay leaf tofu so well and wanted to send you a bowl, my aunt ...... How could my aunt poison my sister? My aunt doesn't even know what Gu poison is......"
Shen Ruxiu's eyelids are swollen, her nose is red, she is haggard, and her face is as thin as a knife.
"I know." Shen Liancheng's words were concise and to the point, but he regretted it a little. She should have a softer voice, with a little gentleness and a smile. It's a pity that I don't get close to these brothers and sisters on weekdays, and I can't be enthusiastic now.
Hearing her words, Shen Ruxiu stopped sobbing for a moment, opened her eyes and grabbed her hand excitedly, "Sister, do you believe that it wasn't my aunt who did it?" ”
Her hands were mixed with her own snot and tears. This grasp made Shen Liancheng's hands tighten and frown slightly. "Well, I know it's not her ......" his eyes fell on the other party's hand, and his heart suddenly became half cold, and he said secretly, close to it or something, forget it.
Shen Ruxiu finally realized how rude she was, and hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe Shen Liancheng, and apologized vigorously.
Shen Liancheng took her handkerchief, still thinking that he would wipe it more carefully, and said, "You go back, I'll let my mother release Aunt Cai later." ”
Cai Ji was locked up in the firewood room of Luoxia Garden, and I am afraid that she has suffered a lot.
Seeing Shen Ruxiu laugh and leave, the corners of Shen Liancheng's mouth also swung an arc. However, holding the handkerchief mixed with snot and tears in her hand, she couldn't help but shake her head, and threw the handkerchief to Qingling with a disgusted sound.
Qingling then also had a look of surprise on her face. But the handkerchief belongs to the second lady, and she can't throw it away, and she has to return it to others after washing it, so she has to endure it and put it in her pocket.
After such a fuss, Qingling didn't say anything about Shen Liancheng's tears from eating before. She only threw out the doubts in her heart and asked, "Son-in-law, who is the person who harmed you?" What do you do in Caiyun Lane? The slave knows that you must not go to Caiyun Lane to take people......"
"How do you know that I didn't go to Caiyun Lane to get people?" Shen Liancheng strode and did not stop.
Qingling followed closely and said, "If you take someone, the son-in-law will not only ask the lady to bring an elderly grandmother with her, but will tell the prince what happened." ”
"Why is that?" Shen Liancheng suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at Qingling, "I just let my mother take Mama Chen to Caiyun Lane together?" ”
Qingling was stunned by this sudden question that she had already had in her heart. Thinking quickly in her mind, she finally lowered her voice and asked Shen Liancheng with some suspicion: "Could it be that it was really the sixth lady who gave the son-in-law Gu poison?" ”
Shen Bijun, the sixth lady of the Jinyang Mansion, is the biological daughter of the Huang family, and the little Shen Liancheng is two years old, but she is the most jealous of Shen Liancheng among the little ladies in the mansion. When she was only six years old, she said a cruel word to the slaves around her, when she grows up, she must kill Shen Liancheng!
Shen Bijun hated Shen Liancheng very much, just because her biological mother Huang was too good to Shen Liancheng, better than her and her younger brother.
Shen Liancheng was plotted, and many people suspected that it was Shen Bijun's ruthlessness.
Shen Liancheng in the previous life also thought so.
"It's not her." In this life, her heart could not be clearer.
"Then ......" Qingling only felt her heart pounding, and finally couldn't help asking: "Who is it?" ”
"Mother." Shen Liancheng said these two words, but he was unusually calm.
"Ma'am?" Qingling's heart was shocked, and her tone was full of disbelief, "Mrs. Pingsuli takes good care of her son-in-law, how can she ......?"
"You'll find out later." Shen Liancheng interrupted her and took another step.
Qingling followed closely, with a lot of thoughts in her head.
She didn't believe that the Huang family would do such a poisonous thing to Shen Liancheng, but she firmly believed that Shen Liancheng would not say this out of nowhere.
The Huang family has no shortage of reasons to be good to Shen Liancheng, but there is no shortage of reasons to kill her!
Shen Liancheng's mother, Wang, died in childbirth when she gave birth to her. After a year of sacrifice, Shen Zhongshu obeyed his parents' orders and continued to marry Huang.
Although the Huang family is the daughter of a scholarly family, it is naturally incomparable to the royal family's relatives. Entering the door of the Shen family, she was self-denying and courteous, it can be said that she never made a single mistake, and she was also very caring for the orphans of the Wang family, and even in the eyes of outsiders, she was better than treating her own pair of children.
Obviously, she could endure it for a lifetime, but after thirteen years, Huang was pregnant with her third child, but when she was seven months old, she was stillborn and almost lost her life. This is only a few months ago. At that time, the people in the house were worried, looking at the child who had died before he was born and had no breath after birth, the Huang family would not be able to think about whether he could live.
Hearing the news, the ancestor who lived in Kyoto also sent a letter of condolence in an urgent manner, but Huang's husband, Jin Yanggong, took Shen Liancheng to hunt in the suburbs, but he did not rush back to the house immediately, just because Shen Liancheng fell on a horse, broke his foot, and the return journey was slow.
Wouldn't the Huang family be jealous of this matter?
Thinking like this, Qingling hurriedly called Shen Liancheng, "Son-in-law, if it is really Madame's doing, how dare you contact her privately?" Aren't you afraid that she will be cruel again? ”
"I don't dare to forgive her." Shen Liancheng snorted, "What's more, I'm not going alone...... Qingling," she suddenly called meaningfully, she looked back at Qingling seriously and said, "No matter what I say to the Huang family later, you must remember that without my permission, it cannot be transmitted to the ears of any other person, and neither can Yuhe." ”
Qingling nodded repeatedly.
"Yuhe is a heartless person, Qingling, you are different, you have a steady temperament and do things carefully. In the future, you will have to take on many things. ”
Shen Liancheng's words were sincere, and in Yu Qingling's opinion, it seemed that he had suddenly grown up. If Yuhe, as a slave, is a heartless and heartless person who dares to say anything all day long, Shen Liancheng, as the master, is not a heartless person who can do anything out of the ordinary?
Qingling is older, and she has always been the one who takes on more responsibilities.
However, at this time, Shen Liancheng suddenly said these words in a matter-of-fact manner, and Qingling was a little at a loss. After a while, she replied: "As long as it is for the good of the son-in-law, the slave is dead, and it should be." ”
"Where is it so serious to die?" Shen Liancheng chuckled, and his heart was warm.
She knows that Qingling follows her, like a big sister, and has a lot of heart for herself. It is precisely because of this that she is more willing to trust her and not hide anything from her.
