403 Heartache

Old Lady Shen looked at her and stretched out her hand to help, but after all, she didn't say anything.

Xu Ying didn't say anything more, took two steps back, and then led Su Jin out of the door.

The old lady in the room clutched the Buddha beads tightly, and it took a long time to let out a sigh of relief.

Song Che and the others heard that Xu Ying had come out, so they also said goodbye to the Shen family masters.

As soon as they saw her like this, everyone knew that she had made this trip.

The old men of the Shen family didn't know what was going on, and they couldn't see any clues, but they still warmly entertained the wives who heard the news. Song Che said: "When Neiko first came to Jiangnan, he had the heart to look around the scenery, so he wouldn't bother. ”

Cheng Yun pondered for a moment, and then said: "I should have accompanied the little prince and the princess all the way, but because I haven't seen my grandmother and uncles for a long time, I am really worried about it, so I will stay for a small gathering for the time being." I'll go to the post house tomorrow to accompany you. ”

Song Che was about to pull him away, but Xu Ying pinched his waist and immediately changed his words and said "should", and then took Xu Ying and Ye Feng to say goodbye.

When everyone in the Shen family saw that this rumored fried lion was so reasonable, Cheng Yun, who had always been very understanding, was uncharacteristically unwilling to follow, and all kinds of speculations came out of their hearts. But they all have rules, and they don't know what they shouldn't inquire about, so everyone tacitly agrees.

The second wife felt that Song Che and they had come all the way to Beijing for the Shen family, and it was really unreasonable to go to live in a post house, not to mention that in addition to their identity, they also had joint in-laws with the Shen family! So I went to ask the old lady what she meant, but the old lady went to the Buddhist hall to chant the scriptures, and she didn't dare to move.

After Xu Ying returned to the post house, she first told Song Che Yefeng about meeting Mrs. Shen, and the two of them also felt very helpless. But you can also use your brain to think of other things, but this kind of thing is the more you use the means, the worse the thing, if people really don't want to, you can't force them to nod their heads? There is really no other way than to persuade sincerely.

While waiting for the news, they went to the city to wander around.

Cheng Yun stayed in the Shen family, and it was natural to have a happy gathering with the young masters of the Shen family at night.

Song Che and the others didn't intend to let him be a guide when they came to Huzhou. It was he who had been depressed in the mansion for two days, and when he entered the palace and heard that they were coming to the Shen family, he proposed it himself.

He knew that he shouldn't have been involved in this matter with his identity, and as the grandson of the Shen family, he should share his voice with the Shen family. From now on, he should draw a clear line with Shen Man and the Wei family, and even keep a distance from the Yang family.

But in fact, it is true that he feels that the Wei family deserves it, but the Yang family and Shen Man are very innocent, especially Shen Man. He was shocked by the knife she stabbed Yang Jun in the back, and he felt that as a man, he should do something for this girl from a fair standpoint.

But it's a pity that Mrs. Shen didn't give him a chance.

After Xu Ying and the others left, the old lady entered the Buddhist hall, asked Ning Zhu to close the door, and explained that no one was seen.

The old man has been confident and cheerful all his life, and he rarely does this, except for the period after Shen Yu's death. All of a sudden, it was like this again, which made the sons and daughters-in-law a little uneasy.

Why didn't the old lady know about herself?

But the news brought by Xu Ying was too shocking. She never expected that Wei, who she had always thought was in love with her eldest son, would be unchaste before marriage! And the granddaughter she has been hurting for eighteen years is not her granddaughter, but the child of Wei and others! This not only embarrassed her, but simply made her feel ashamed!

However, compared with Wei's loss of virginity, what embarrassed her more was her love for Shen Man, how deep her love for Shen Man was, how deep this soft knife pierced her heart.

After chanting a few times, she still didn't want to get up.

She experienced the loss of a child a few years ago, and now she wants to add another knife to this pain.

She flickered the lamp and watched the fire flicker, and felt like she wanted to sit there until it was gone.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What about the old lady? ”

There was a soft inquiry outside the door. It's Cheng Yun, her grandson.

She heard the beads tactfully blocking.

Is her grandson also here to intercede for that girl?

She suddenly sighed and said, "Come in." ”

There was a moment of silence outside the door. Instead, Cheng Yun gently pushed the door in.

"My grandson has seen the old lady." He said.

She sat cross-legged and did not move, and took the scriptures on the table before saying, "You are positive." ”

Cheng Yun hung his head. He didn't have much hope, but stopped by before returning to the room, but he didn't expect her to call him in.

Just waiting to speak. The old lady opened her mouth again: "When the accident happened, you were on the spot?" ”

He nodded.

The old lady sighed: "You didn't let her kill herself on the spot, but brought the princess and concubine to persuade me, what is the reason?" Do you think that our Shen family deserves to be cheated, or do you think that her adulterous girl is more important than the reputation of my Shen family? ”

Cheng Yun lowered his head and said after a moment: "Not really." I just thought, she doesn't deserve to die. ”

"She doesn't deserve to die, so what about the reputation of the Shen family?" The old lady looked at him in a very gentle tone, "Do you want her to continue to stay in the world and be embarrassed, so that the world will always remember that our Shen family has a daughter-in-law who lost her virginity before marriage, and an adulterous child who is raised as a daughter?" Where have you read all the books of your sages, and your family reputation is not, so what's more? ”

Cheng Yun raised his eyes to look at her, pursed his lips and did not speak.

From the old lady's standpoint, she should be condemned and accused, but now she doesn't, so can't she even say two heavy words?

What's more, between her eyebrows and eyes is not resentment or cruelty, but more like asking herself.

He just made her tea, and then sat there silently.

The old lady stared at her, and suddenly said, "Do you like her?" ”

"Nope." He shook his head, raised his eyes, and said, "I only think of her as a sister." At least it was, and it seems that nothing has changed nowβ€”even if there is a slight change, he does not want to be associated with it at this time. He didn't want this change to be out of sympathy, and her pride wouldn't let her accept it.

So, let's just let a qiΔ“ still be the same.

The old lady looked at the slightly flickering lamp and muttered, "I never thought that I would have to face such an unbearable situation when I was old. I can't tell who I should hate now.

"Do you hate Webster? The daughter-in-law was chosen by myself, and I haven't seen the clue for so many years. Do you hate your uncle? He has fulfilled his duty as a human being, and he is worthy of the word benevolence and righteousness. Do you hate that girl? If I had to spread this hatred on someone, I could only be angry with her. However, if she is really forced to die, it is tantamount to chopping half of my heart. And the reputation of the Shen family may not be safe and sound. ”

Cheng Yun raised his head, but he couldn't say half a word.
