Shu E listened to the "Li'er" of the old man speak very naturally, as if she was still calling her daughter Shuyan, her heart was warm, and she was a little sad, and she hurriedly got up and answered "yes".

The wife also looked at Shu E and said with a smile: "As for what happens in the palace today, naturally Shu'e and you will have to socialize." Shu E nodded, understanding the meaning of this.

As he was talking, an elderly servant woman came over and said next to his wife, "Mrs. Hui, the young master is ready." It's just the right time, you can ask the young grandmother to lead the aunts and sisters-in-law to the Shang family. ”

Shu E looked at this gorgeously dressed servant woman, and after looking at it for a while, she remembered that this was the second young master's Fu Mu, and suddenly a chill arose from her heart.

"Okay, you're going to go. If you don't know the etiquette, ask the old mothers, and when combing the bride's hair, remember to clean up the hair that falls. The smile on the corner of her mouth deepened as she said earnestly to the young grandmother, and continued: "In this way, everything is ready today." ”

Shu E looked at his wife's smile, feeling a little familiar for no reason, but also a little frightened.

I suddenly remembered that after I was shocked to learn that Shuyan had lost her body, my wife also looked at herself like this.

Shu E's eyes involuntarily met his wife, and in a flash, the two of them had already talked a lot in their eyes, and Mrs. explained Shu E's doubts, but she didn't need any words.

Sure enough, it's the second young master!

Shu E's shoulders couldn't help but tremble slightly, I don't know whether she remembered her experience when she entered the palace, or hated herself for not seeing through his wife's plan earlier.

This is not just as simple as bullying the king. This is more related to the many congratulatory guests who came to Cao Mansion to watch the ceremony. Even if the matter succeeds, no one finds out and no one sees through it, but the second girl of the Shang family, the second young master Cao, and the third young master Cao You are all caught in an unspeakable and inextricable whirlpool because of this wrong thing caused by human distortion. Moreover, this is the embarrassment of the three of them for the rest of their lives.

Shu E's thoughts flew in her heart, and her face also had an angry and frightened look, and suddenly a soft hand put on Shu E's shoulder, and said softly: "Does Madame's shoulder still hurt?" ”

Ju Dou's voice was gentle and gentle, plain and concerned, just like the hand she put on Shu E's shoulder, and a hand reached into Shu E's heart and soothed her emotions.

Shu E turned around and said, "Don't worry about ......"

Ju Dou had already leaned over Shu E's ear and whispered, "This is not what Mrs. means alone, how can the master not know." ”

Although this sentence is extremely shallow and light, it is very powerful. Shu E's brain suddenly woke up, bowed slightly, and stopped talking.

In just a moment, the subordinates who received the guests at the door came to report, and then several aunts and wives and the eldest young master had already walked out of the door to receive the distinguished guests together with the children of the Cao clan.

After a while, a housekeeper lady came in to report that it was the son of the Eight Great Kings who came to congratulate him.

When the lord and the lady heard the report, they stood up in unison and agreed. The old man looked at Shu E, Shu E understood, and said: "The greeting guest of the Eight Great Kings, I will go to thank you from now on." It's just that the officials and guests who came here, but they don't know whether it is appropriate to meet or not. ”

The housekeeper's lady said with her waist on the side: "Girl, don't be shy, you are now an aunt who has gone out, and these social transactions in the house should have been ...... girl."

Shu E listened to the words "aunt and grandmother who went out", only felt very harsh, and couldn't help but glance at the housekeeper lady, the housekeeper lady didn't finish her words, and when she saw Shu E's hesitant eyes, she immediately lowered her head, and didn't dare to make any more noise.

The wife smiled and said, "The housekeeper has some truth in what he said, and besides, with your father going with him, my son doesn't have to worry." ”

Shu E didn't want to say any more, nodded, and walked forward with the master.

Seeing that there was no one around, the old man turned his head sideways and whispered to Shu E: "There are many taboos in life in the palace, and it is definitely not as free as in the house, but the glory and wealth are also a stone's throw away." Whether it is a blessing or a curse for you, I can hardly say. It's just that you saved the lives of the Cao Mansion and the people of Cao Fu and the reputation passed down from your ancestors, and I am very grateful. No matter what is difficult for you in the palace, you might as well ask someone to tell me. ”

Shu E said: "Thank you, master. Shu E is unusable, just receiving an idle job in the palace in order to live a leisurely life. In this way, there is no harm to others or oneself, as for any glory and wealth, I don't mean to be here, and there is no way to earn anything for Cao Fu. Please forgive me. ”

After listening to Shu E's words, the old man didn't say much, but sighed lightly: "Everyone has their own ambitions, so I naturally won't force you." What I sigh about is that there are too many intrigues in the palace, and it is not easy to live a leisurely life with no one else. ”

Shu E said: "Although there are all kinds of intrigues in the palace, I don't want to participate. The purifier ...... self-purification" did not finish a sentence, and suddenly thought of himself now, and it is really difficult to achieve self-purification of the purifier.

After a moment of silence, I only heard the old man say: "People don't hurt the tiger, and the tiger harms people's hearts." Sometimes the fight between people is not voluntary, but just to protect themselves. ”

Shu E listened to the master's words, and couldn't help but rush and say: "It didn't start out of voluntariness!" Blame all the faults of the uncle of the Cao family on the house of his sister-in-law's fiancée, causing the family to be assigned to the coast and the family to be ruined, is this really to protect himself? When one of my sister's marriage contracts was ruined, she was busy persuading her to marry into another prominent family, so that she was also protecting herself? The sister-in-law's family was sinned, the sister-in-law came to the door to plead, and the brother and sister-in-law closed the door, causing the sister-in-law's family to die, is this also to protect herself? ”

After Shu E said, she couldn't help choking and trembling, but the meaning of her words was aggressive.

When the old man heard Shu E say the first sentence, he had already turned around, the look on his face was both surprised and sad, and when Shu E finished speaking, the old man looked at Shu E and said slowly: "You know everything." ”

As soon as Shu E's words came out, she was originally aroused by righteous indignation, but since she had already said it, she didn't regret it, she just wanted to get an explanation from the master, an explanation to her aunt Cao Yan, and an explanation to her mother Cao Jue and her father, grandfather, and grandmother. Shu E did not avoid the old man's gaze, but said, "Listen to what Mrs. Gu said." ”

The old man said lightly: "Mrs. Gu naturally hates me very much. ”

Shu E was a little anxious in her heart, and just asked, "So what Mrs. Gu said is all the truth?" ”

The old man didn't answer Shu E's question, slowly moved his gaze to the direction of the gate of Cao Mansion, looked at the bright red decoration of this world, sighed, and said: "Shu E, today you and I are also father and daughter, the past of Cao Mansion, I will tell you slowly, but this is not the time, I can only say that sometimes it is a last resort, not for myself." ”
