Chapter 33: Old Things
Because everyone knows who is born in the main room, but because this matter is special, everyone doesn't mention it.
"Ahem, this ......" Shen Kun wanted to say that it was actually the same wherever he sits, but when he saw the eyes of other people throwing at him, especially his mother and eldest brother, he hesitated a little.
Logically speaking, it should be so.
However, if you do this, it will not be very good to Sister Yu'er, and she will lose face, how will she still gain a foothold among the sisters in the future?
Shen Hanyu bit her lip and glared at Shen Jingyi.
Seeing Shen Kun like this, Jingyi just smiled faintly, "That's it, since my father and mother don't want Sister Yi to sit in that position, it's the same for Sister Yi and Sister Yi to sit together, don't be embarrassed by your father and mother." β
As she spoke, she walked towards Shen Bixin, and when Shen Bixin heard this, she hurriedly moved her position.
Everyone felt that Shen Jingyi was generous, but the second master and second lady Shen were too cold to her, the concubine.
Therefore, the old lady's gaze changed, and the smiles on the faces of the Hou Ye and his sons also faded.
Sanfang was still silent, but he had a little less smile than usual. The fourth room is always about oneself, hanging high, with a play-watching mentality.
If it continues like this, it will not only be bad for Shen Kun, but also bad for the second lady.
Gu made a decision quickly.
"Sister Yi'er, what are you talking about, Sister Yu'er is not sensible, are you not sensible? Come to my mother's side," she said, she turned her head sideways to Shen Hanyu and said, "Sister Yu, don't let you let your second sister go?" β
There was a hint of warning in her eyes, which made Shen Hanyu swallow the words that she wanted to refute.
Shen Jingyi lowered her eyes silently, her face calm.
But this appearance will give people the illusion of pity and grievance.
Therefore, Shen Nan, who saw such a situation, glanced at Shen Hanyu coldly, causing her to shiver. Hurriedly said: "I...... The second sister sat ......, and she quickly moved her position.
Shen Kun saw that she was so frightened that he stepped back and looked at her distressedly. Since he said so, he had no choice but to do so, he said: "Sister Yi, come on, your fourth sister has already given up the position to you." β
Let it be given to her?
Hehe......
This position is hers, what do you need?
But she didn't say it, there are some things that need to be done before everyone will see it.
"The rice has been put on the table, Sister Yi'er sit down!"
The old lady retracted her gaze and said, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Jingyi blessed herself and sat down beside the second lady.
During the meal, there was always a gaze following her, like a sharp edge on her back, she knew who it was. also knew that she was exposed now, but there was no turning back from the bow, and she couldn't afford to back down.
After the meal, Shen Jingyi helped the old lady to the room to speak, "...... Sister Yi, why don't you tell your grandmother, do you know that it's too dangerous. β
"Sister Yi knows, but Sister Yi must do this, I won't fight back and they won't let me go, why bother!"
"After all, the county lord is the county lord, and there is not a person behind her, you have to think clearly."
"I think very clearly, grandmother, I want to know, what happened to my mother and the county lord at the beginning, why did my father have two main rooms, why did my mother obviously enter the door, but became the one who was the wife?"
The old lady fell silent, she sighed tiredly, and Mama Gui quietly retreated with the others when she saw this, leaving space for the two of them.
After a long time, the old lady finally spoke: "At the beginning, your mother did marry your father first, but because your father married, the county lord came to eat with her mother and accidentally saw your father. β
Shen Jingyi raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Speaking of which, it's also a sin, I thought they wouldn't have crossed paths again, but who knew that your mother didn't come out of the door for two years, and finally conceived you in the third year, but the queen mother's decree came."
She fell into the memory.
"A dignified county lord naturally can't be small, although your mother's identity is also from a big family, but after all, it has declined. Therefore, the queen mother's decree is to give the county lord as the main room, and your mother as a flat wife. β
Shen Jingyi lowered her eyes, she couldn't see what she was thinking, the old lady wanted to speak and stopped, thought about it and swallowed her words.
There are some things that it is better not to let her know, so as not to be hateful and unhappy.
"How is my foreign family doing now?"
"Eighteen years ago, the court was **** again, all the men of your foreign Xie family were arrested and beheaded in the city, and later a seven-grade official who had received the favor of the Xie family risked his life to enter Beijing with the collected evidence to shout grievances. However, the Xie family is indeed close to the king of Nanhai, and it is also a fact that the king of Nanhai launched a coup d'Γ©tat, so the merits and demerits are offset, and His Majesty did not pursue the Xie family again, and the matter passed like this. β
Hearing this, Shen Jingyi was surprised, "Could it be that so many lives are just counted?" β
"His Majesty has already shown mercy to his subordinates, only arresting men, not women. However, as soon as the male brother of the Xie family died, your aunts and uncles hanged themselves. Only your grandmother and the fourth aunt who is about to give birth are left, as well as your mother, and during that period of time, the Xie family can be said to be a real purgatory. A few days after the matter was settled, your second aunt was in labor, and she gave birth to your cousin Brother Chen. β
"It's really admirable that my grandmother has gone through the pain of losing her husband and child, and she can still persevere." Shen Jingyi muttered, a little distracted.
She remembered that her grandmother's arms were very warm, and when her mother left, it was winter, and her grandmother hugged her and cried silently for a long time.
And she fell asleep in her arms.
She only knew that the one in her arms was very similar to her mother, and she put her heart down and fell asleep in a daze. She thought her mother was still there, but when she woke up, she only had white sails in her eyes.
At that time, she realized that something was different, and now that she thinks about it, isn't the eyes of everyone looking at her full of pity?
She suddenly had an urge to go to Jinling, and when she thought of doing it, she said: "Grandmother, this year, my granddaughter wants to go to her grandmother's house to see, but I haven't seen her for many years, but I'm afraid that her old man will miss me too." β
The old lady also smiled when she mentioned her, "It's time to go and see it, and when spring comes, make good arrangements." Speaking of which, I haven't seen your grandmother in years, and I was in ......" At this point, she paused, shook her head, and did not continue.
Shen Jingyi knew that she still hadn't told her, but she didn't ask. She also knew that the relationship between the county lord and Shen Kun was by no means as simple as she said.
But she wouldn't ask, since her grandmother didn't want her to know, then she just pretended not to know.
Anyway, there are always other people who know.
For example, Mama Xie.
"Your father is still your father after all, and if possible, it's better not to erase this relationship. Perhaps, one day he will see it. The old lady sighed, a little tired.
[It's Friday, everyone is very excited? Come on, come on, give a few tickets to calm down~]
