On May 18, just after the lively full moon banquet, Shen Pei and his wife received a message from Shen Bin early in the morning, ordering the two of them to move out today. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the past month, Zhihua and her daughter have been closed and quietly stayed in the unclothed courtyard for confinement, and Zou Mingqing has visited several times but has not been able to see either mother and daughter. It's just a matter of refusing to see the guests, but during the confinement period, she refused to let go of the housekeeping at all, and actually sent a subordinate to take care of it. Zou Mingqing relied on her identity as her master, and made trouble with the raft several times, shouting that her sister-in-law would rather use a subordinate to manage the affairs than use her as a concubine. Mama Dou put up with her several times at first, and after she relaxed her vigilance and said contemptuous words to herself for a while, she immediately grabbed the handle and pulled her into the palace to find the queen mother to comment. Of course, in the end, although he didn't bring this kind of trivial matter to the Queen Mother, from then on, Zou Ming was much more honest and didn't dare to despise Mama Dou anymore.

Shen Bin turned a blind eye to the open and secret fights between the two daughters-in-law, and was indifferent to the two concubines who would shush and ask for warmth every morning and dusk, and now his greatest pleasure was to tease the cute little granddaughter every day, and the rest of the time was torn between hundreds of names - yes, the pampered Miss Xi'er had not chosen a big name until the full moon, because her grandfather always felt that no name could fully reflect her beauty. Xi'er's simple milk name Shen Bin doesn't like it either, but you can't let your granddaughter even have a title, right? Anyway, the more dissatisfied he was with his granddaughter's name, the more Shen Bin held back his strength, and he had to give her the best name in the world.

The couple worked together to die for a month, and the result of the separation could not be changed. When living in this "dilapidated" mansion that was not comparable to the Guogong Mansion everywhere, Shen Pei's resentment towards his father had risen to the highest point.

"One day, I'll make you regret it!" On the first day of living in his new home, Shen Pei secretly swore to the empty ancestral hall.

However, I'm afraid that even he didn't expect this day to come so quickly.

On May 22, an urgent secret report of 800 li sent from the border pass arrived in the palace, bringing the news that shocked the whole world -- the spies under the prison army saw with their own eyes that Shen Ze, the emperor's personal marshal of the patriotic state, entered Jiayuguan alone in the middle of the night of May 13, and has not returned so far, and is suspected of defecting to the enemy!

The letter was accompanied by the handwritten statements of the seven secret agents, which were very conclusive, and it was very sure that it was the coach Shen Ze who took the initiative to enter Zhenyuguan late that night.

As soon as this news came out, the whole country was in an uproar. Shen Ze, who was once praised as "quite an ancestral legacy" and "young and promising", was spurned by everyone for a while, and even the Weiguo Mansion with deep roots was surrounded by the emperor's order, and he only waited for the imperial court to send a messenger who immediately rushed to the border to verify it and returned to deal with it.

A large invisible black cloud shrouded the sky over the Patriotic Mansion, and the entire mansion was like a dead city, and there was a kind of stormy depression everywhere.

On the second day after being placed under house arrest, Shen Bin, who was the head of the family, summoned his daughter-in-law and concubine Shen Hao to gather in the main hall for discussion.

In just one night, Shen Bin's originally well-conditioned body looked a little thinner, and the deepening wrinkles on his eyebrows and bloodshot eyes secretly showed that he had not slept all night.

"Shen Hao, although you are my concubine, as early as a month ago, I had already moved your name to the Shen family's side branch. The items that were meant to be given to you have now been folded into silver tickets, so take them and go. If your eldest brother's crime against him doesn't implicate the clansmen this time, you'll be able to escape and save your life. Shen Bin staggered over, personally placed a small box on the coffee table beside Shen Hao, and patted the lid. No matter how much money you have, you can't afford to squander, and you have to change the old problem of spending money lavishly, so you can do it yourself in the future. ”

"Father......" Shen Hao was stunned, all kinds of problems that he had been worried about all night were suddenly solved, he breathed a sigh of relief all at once, but he didn't dare to show half of his joy, his face was very weird.

"Go ahead, I have already sent someone to show the genealogy to the generals who surrounded us outside, thanks to your grandfather's former prestige, the generals in the army are still willing to give us a few thin noodles in the Weiguo Mansion, they will not make things difficult for you, don't worry." Shen Bin felt disheartened when he saw his strange expression, waved his hand to interrupt what he wanted to say next, and directly ordered the expulsion.

I don't know if it's because of my conscience or whether I'm doing a full set of acts, Shen Hao kowtowed respectfully to Shen Bin three times with tears, and when he got up, his forehead was already blue.

"The child is not filial, please take care of your father!" Choked up and said this, he picked up the small box on the table and put it in his arms, turned around and strode away under Shen Bin's eyes.

If he looked back at this time, he would find that there was such deep disappointment and determination in his father's eyes. In Shen Bin's heart, he originally still had a trace of warmth for this young son who was not as scheming as Shen Pei, but the cold-blooded heart he revealed in this crisis was no different from his own brother, and finally cut off this warmth.

After his figure disappeared from sight, Shen Bin sighed in a low voice and continued to walk towards Zhihua.

Walking to the front, he took out a thin piece of paper from his arms, trembled and handed it to his daughter-in-law: "This is the letter of resignation I wrote on behalf of Shen Ze, take it and take Xi'er away, from now on, your mother and daughter have nothing to do with our Shen family, even if the Shen family is punished by the nine clans, Xi'er, who did not leave a big name in the family tree, will not be implicated." ”

After saying that, he put the paper on the table, and took out another small box and pressed it on it. "This is all the silver tickets I have left, and I haven't counted the specific number carefully, about 200,000 taels. This is the dowry that this grandfather prepared for his granddaughter, don't shirk it. ”

The swaddling Xi'er seemed to feel the sadness in her grandfather's tone, and she hummed and cried.

After gently shaking and soothing in a soft voice, after stopping her daughter's crying, Zhihua raised her head to face her father-in-law and raised a faint smile: "Dad, this letter of resignation is unacceptable to my daughter-in-law." Marrying into the Shen family is the Shen family, and the daughter-in-law would rather die together as a family than live alone and steal her life, and ask her father to take back her life. ”

In just one sentence, a huge wave was set off in Shen Bin's heart. At the moment of crisis, the two sons chose Mingzhe to protect themselves, but the daughter-in-law he disliked the most did not hesitate to suffer with the Shen family.

Suppressing this shock, Shen Bin raised his face and sharply accused: "Stupid! You are willing to die, what about the child? She is still so young, can you bear to watch her innocently implicated and give her life in vain? He paused, slowed down his tone a bit, and said earnestly: "The name of an abandoned woman is not good, but for the sake of Xi'er, you take the letter of resignation first." If my Weiguo Mansion can finally get through this storm, when everything calms down, I promise to take back your mother and daughter and return the position of the princess to Zhao. ”

He didn't plan to make this promise at the beginning, but Zhihua's performance made his previous prejudices gradually dissolve, and he also agreed with his son's vision of choosing a wife for the first time. (To be continued.) )
