Chapter 49: Death
Shen Jingyi is a little funny, although she is not very smart, but she is not too stupid, right? Although she didn't like to talk much before, and she didn't have much contact with them, don't take her for a fool!
"Don't look at me like that, I grew up with my grandmother."
Sure enough, when she said so, Shen Minru withdrew her gaze.
No one knows what kind of role the old lady of the Shen family is, she was born in a big family, and even the second lady who is the lord of the county and the eldest lady who is from the same family are respectful to her.
Whether it is the inner house or the outer courtyard, there is no one who does not respect her.
It is conceivable how great her ability is.
Shen Jingyi was brought up by her, so she naturally did her best to teach.
Shen Minru smiled and said generously: "Since the second sister already knows, then I won't go around the bend with you." The eldest sister's matter is still because of the second sister, and now that the eldest sister has an accident, I hope the second sister will help her. She stood up and blessed her, "Today's sister did take advantage of the second sister, and I hope that the second sister has a lot, no wonder!" Saying that, she was blessed again.
Jingyi sat on the high chair on the bluelime carved silk chair and glanced at her lightly.
"I accepted this apology, as you said, since the eldest sister incident started because of me, naturally I am also responsible." She looked at Shen Bixin, who seemed to be stunned, "Eldest sister, what's going on, I hope you can tell me in detail, so that I can know how to help you." β
Shen Bixin glanced at Shen Minru, a little hesitant, the latter looked at her encouragingly, and from her eyes, Shen Bixin also became firm.
No way, she is a concubine, and her fate is different from theirs, but she doesn't want to be abused.
"Second sister, this matter, the eldest sister begs you." She walked up to her to salute, but Shen Jingyi pulled her, "You are older than me, you don't need to salute me." β
When Shen Bixin heard this, his heart was hot, and he held back the tears that were about to flow, and sat down on the side, "...... I got my grandmother's reward that day and sent my things to the Moon Tower, but my mother still didn't let me go. A few days ago, she suddenly said that the family with whom I was married had another girl, and she had already come to the door to withdraw from her family. Then, when I went to ask for peace a few days ago, she told me again that a six-rank official came to his door to ask for his son to marry and asked me to be his son's daughter-in-law, but I heard from the mother-in-law who swept the floor that his son had died and many concubines had died. If my mother promised him, she would push me into the fire pit! β
Shen Jingyi frowned slightly, "What's the family's surname?" β
"The surname is Liu, and that official seems to be an official of Dali Temple."
Officials of Dali Temple? Could it be him?
"That adult's name is Liu Chenggui?" She asked, Shen Bixin shook her head, "I don't know, I only heard that his son seems to be called Liu Fugui." β
Shen Jingyi chuckled in her heart and nodded, "It seems so." β
"What's wrong? Is there anything special about this person? Shen Minru asked with some curiosity.
Jingyi tugged at the corners of her mouth, "Special, of course special, this person loves to abuse and kill concubines the most, do you say it's special?" β
Shen Bixin's face suddenly turned pale, even Shen Minru squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, and said in a trembling voice: "Second uncle, this is ...... I'm going to make you ...... "I'm going to die!"
Shen Jingyi was noncommittal, and looked at Shen Bixin, who was already stunned, "Eldest sister, since I already know about this matter, I won't care about it." But the ugly thing to say is ahead, I am only responsible for handing the news to my grandmother, and as for whether my grandmother will care, this is not something I can guarantee. β
"No...... Second sister ......" she hurriedly got up and walked in front of her, "Second sister, you must help me, let my grandmother help me, I, I don't want to die, I just want to live a life in peace." My aunt is gone, there is no one to help me, I have always served my mother respectfully, why did she still treat me like this......"
She's not reconciled......
Shen Jingyi stood up and looked at her at eye level, seeing her crying desperately, she suddenly thought of herself in her previous life.
She cried like this, but the Gu family still didn't let her go, if the immortal grandmother came over, I was afraid that she would be dead.
He thought, at that time, she was the same as Shen Bixin now, right?
It's all so desperate, so frightened.
"Second sister, you can help her, among so many sisters, only you can speak in front of your grandmother. Grandmother won't leave your business alone. β
In a word, Jingyi came to her senses.
She took a deep breath and glanced at the two of them, the emotion in her eyes gradually faded, "I'll do my best!" With that, she turned and walked away.
Shen Bixin wanted to stop her but was stopped by Shen Minru, who shook her head at her and said, "There is only so much we can do, otherwise if we go too far, we will only make my grandmother disgusted." You know, my grandmother looked at her second sister like an eyeball. β
"But, what if Grandmother doesn't ask? My mother is my mother-in-law, and if she really wants to marry me to that person, how can I resist it? β
Shen Minru sighed and comforted her with tears in her eyes. The heart is sour, in the end, they grew up together, the two have similar temperaments, although they don't look like anything on weekdays, but they are the best.
In this way, how could she sit idly by for fear of offending Shen Jingyi?
It is said that after Shen Jingyi left the Spring Festival Courtyard, she walked towards the bluestone path with some anger.
This is the way back to a leisurely home.
In the main room, Pearl replaced Jingyi's cloak and took the gilded cloisonnΓ© enamel handstove handed by the little maid and put it in her hand.
Lu Fu also put a cup of hot tea on the kang table, and Jinping packed up Jingyi's cloak.
After the little maids went down, Pearl said, "Second Miss, do you really want to help the eldest Miss?" Since this matter was facilitated by the second lady, I am afraid that if you help her, you will completely make a feud with the second lady. β
"What else would you do?" She rubbed her temples, "This matter started because of me, if it had nothing to do with me, it would be fine, but since I know about it and let it go, I really can't do it." β
Pearl knows that she can't bear it, but it's useless to persuade her again, anyway, she is already at odds with the second lady, and she is not afraid of tearing this face.
Just ......, "Second Miss, Third Miss is so calculating you today, you have to be careful in the future." β
As her eldest maid, it is necessary for her to remind her for the benefit of her master.
Shen Jingyi smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I can save it." As she spoke, she looked at Lu Fu and Jinping again, "You can hear what Pearl said, if you want to be a powerful person by your master's side, you must have the insight of Pearl." He promised to go out, and I will choose one of the two of you to be the big girl. β
Her gaze flickered slightly as she stared at the two of them.
