Chapter 149
"Master, something is wrong?" Mama Yan looked panicked.
Granny Yan has a lot of things, and it is rare to have such a panicked time, Shen Wanzhen raised her eyebrows, "What's the matter?" ”
"Mrs. made people poisoned" Mrs. Yan's face was still a little incredulous, and she babbled again, "The master's maiden family, Shen Mansion, is in a mess, I don't know if it's the one who is bold." ”
The last time Shen Wanzhen saw her mother-in-law, she saw that her face was gloomy and her complexion was not good, if she said that she was poisoned, it would make sense.
Mrs. Yan was not surprised at all when she saw her master, she was a little strange.
"The people of the Shen Mansion sent away?" Shen Wanzhen asked in a calm voice.
"Sent away, the lord asked the girl to go to the house, as soon as the wife has something, the Shen Mansion has no leader, the lord is still busy with the affairs of the government office, there is no one in charge of the house, the lord is now anxious, he is busy with his wife, and he has to take care of the affairs of the house."
Shen Wanzhen has no relationship with her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law is mean to her, but in the two major events of the palace, her father also helped, although her father is ruthless, but she still has a helper when something happens, Shen Mansion is her mother's family, and she can't sit idly by and ignore something, so she said to Mrs. Yan; "I'll go back to my mother's house, and the prince will come back and say I'll go home and see."
Say it, put on your clothes, prepare a sedan chair, and take Xiuju and Qiaoshan to the Shen Mansion.
As soon as Shen Wanzhen entered the courtyard of the upper room, she saw people coming in and out, with a panicked face, and a maid went back, "The third aunt and grandmother are back"
Shen Wanzhen walked up the steps quickly, and as soon as she entered the hall, Master Shen was coming out of the inner room, his face was solemn, "Zhen'er, you are back"
Shen Wanzhen didn't bother to ask, she followed her father into the west room, Shen Wanzhen went to the head of the bed, glanced at Wu, startled, a while ago the master was full moon, Wu was still entertaining, how did in just ten days, people were so thin that they were out of shape, lying on the kang with their eyes half closed, their hair was dry, their face was pale, they coughed, held their heads, and said they had a headache.
Shen Wanyun cried in front of the bed, "Mother, mother"
Old Master Shen's father and daughter went to the outer room to talk, afraid that the Wu mother and daughter would hear it, so Shen Wanzhen asked, "What did the doctor say?" ”
Master Shen looked sad, "I said that I was poisoned by arsenic, and for a while, at first she said that her fingers were numb and her hair was lost, but she didn't pay attention to it, thinking that it was caused by poor sleep, and she had a headache and a bad stomach and intestines for a while, so she came to the doctor to take a look and said that she was poisoned." ”
Shen Wanyun's voice calling his mother came from the room again, and Master Shen glanced at the door of the inner room and sighed, "The doctor has prescribed medicine and detoxification, and he needs to be slowly adjusted, and there is no worry about his life for the time being." ”
"How did my mother get poisoned?" Shen Wanzhen was a little puzzled in her heart, if this was not for deep hatred, she couldn't do this.
"My father is investigating, and your mother used to be waiting with the people who were waiting in front of you, and your mother is chronically poisoned, not a matter of one or two days, so only people close to him have a chance to do it."
Shen Wanzhen secretly thought, her father's analysis was correct, only the subordinates around her mother-in-law had the opportunity to poison, but what benefit would a subordinate murder her master do? If it wasn't for someone behind his back, how could he do such a hurtful thing, and if the subordinates have a grudge against the master, it won't be like this.
Master Shen's voice was low, and he said hatefully: "If I find out who is behind it, I will never be spared." "Master Shen and Wu have been husband and wife for many years, although there is no love, but there is always some family affection.
Her father seems to have a good idea in her heart, Shen Wanzhen's eyes suddenly appeared in Feng'er's mind looking at the child, Feng'er has a chance to do it, but she shook her head again, Feng'er knew her fate early on, she should have been prepared in her heart, Wu also got her consent, Feng'er is voluntary, and the separation of mother and child is not to blame Wu, Wu did not treat her harshly, Feng'er is reluctant to give up the child, but the child belongs to the mother-in-law, and the Wu family will be raised as a son-in-law, and will inherit the family business in the future and have a good future.
After this analysis, it is unlikely that Feng'er will start, the remaining sixth aunt Xiao Sun, Xiao Sun's family has a daughter who is full of everything, Zhen Ri has a smile on his face, rule it out, it is Sister Xi who is in the room, Sister Xi is usually a top pick, and the Wu family can't hinder her with anything, not to mention that she has a humble status, it is impossible to take her place, and the possibility of Sister Xi being poisoned is almost none.
If Aunt Zhang and Shen Wanzhu were still in the house, they might be able to do it, but the two of them had returned to their hometown in Shandong, and the maids and servants who were waiting for them were also brought away, and now Aunt Ding and the sixth girl Shen Wanyu were left, Shen Wanyu had no brains and no guts, if Aunt Ding was ruthless, she could do anything, especially the Wu family was repeatedly persecuted, first designed Shen Wanyu to be Wu Jinglan's concubine, and then was sent back by the Wu Mansion, the Wu family was greedy for money, and wanted to marry her to a family that the mother and daughter were unwilling to, Aunt Ding's long-accumulated resentment, once it breaks out, she should be able to make a move to poison the Wu family.
Shen Wanzhen looked at her father, she didn't dare to say her speculation to her father, human life is at stake, it's not child's play, Master Shen is shrewd and capable, and he personally asks about it, and this matter can be found out sooner or later.
In the evening, Shen Wanzhen came out of Shen's house, saw that the sky was just past noon, the hour was still early, so she instructed the sedan chair man to go to the most lively in the capital, the South Gate Street where the shops gathered, she wanted to see the new look of this year's popular jewelry, so she went to the most famous Chen's jewelry in the capital, and chose two things, a hairpin, a pair of bracelets, fine workmanship, and novel style.
Out of the door of the store, Shen Wanzhen walked in front, Xiuju followed behind with a box, sat in a sedan chair, and planned to go to Mo Yaxuan to see calligraphy and paintings.
Not far from Shen Xuanzhen's sedan chair, there is a large sedan chair, in which sits a man with a slow and light fur, inadvertently skimming in the sedan window, in an instant, the phoenix eyes showed surprise, and hurriedly instructed the sedan chair driver to follow the sedan chair that ran to the front.
Shen Wanzhen's sedan chair stopped in front of Mo Yaxuan's door, and the other sedan chair also stopped almost at the same time.
Who else can call her to be Miss Shen, except for King Ping, he insists on calling her Miss Shen, his intention is obvious, and he is unwilling to recognize her status as Zhao Shijiao's wife from the bottom of his heart.
Shen Wanzhen turned around, King Ping smiled lightly, and walked towards her, as soon as he saw her, he was in a very good mood, feeling warm and kind, in vain reminded him of his childhood, his biological mother Concubine Xiao was still alive, and the mother's smile was also gentle and kind, and her voice called him softly.
"Hello Miss Shen!" King Ping bowed.
"How is the fourth brother?" Shen Wanzhen squatted, and the two of them contradicted each other, and Shen Wanzhen had to remind him that he was his sister-in-law.
Shen Wanzhen was worried about Concubine Xiao's case, how did he investigate, King Ping had no news, looked at no one near Zuo, and whispered: "How is that matter?" ”
King Ping lowered his voice and said: "Things have passed for too long, the emperor has repeatedly shown grace, the older palace maid has been released from the palace, most of the people in the old palace are no longer there, I took a lot of effort to find out that before the death of a palace maid next to my mother, a fellow eunuch went to see her, she said something, I found the eunuch, fortunately he was still in the palace on an errand, he only said that the palace maid said before she died, and the queen mother found out that the eunuch said, there were indeed two groups of people who went to the cold palace that night, as for the person who poisoned and murdered my mother concubine, he didn't say it, It was only said that the palace maid said that it was dark and did not see that it was from that palace, and it seemed that he knew about it, and on the night I found him, he committed suicide by throwing himself into the water. ”
Shen Wanzhen's eyes widened and she said in surprise; "Committed suicide, did you threaten him?"
King Ping shook his head, "No, I just asked him some about the situation at the time, he was tight-mouthed, I repeatedly pressed him, he had to say, that night, his fellow townsman saw two groups of people who went into the dormitory, and after the second group of people left, the palace maid went in to see that my mother's concubine was cold, which confirmed that it was the first group of people who poisoned it, and he said this, and asked the others, and he didn't say anything." ”
Shen Wanzhen was silent, bowing her head silently, with an ominous premonition in her heart, that eunuch would rather commit suicide than tell the truth, what was he afraid of? The person he is afraid of must be more terrible than King Ping, and he must be more noble and powerful than King Ping, so that he would rather die than dare to say it.
Suddenly, Shen Wanzhen gasped, raised her head, and met the gaze of King Ping, the moment the two looked at each other, Shen Wanzhen already knew that King Ping had guessed who the murderer was, and the two guessed that it should be the same answer.
The color that flashed in King Ping's eyes made Shen Wanzhen a little scared, did he want to hit the stone with an egg? Looking at him, the color in his eyes disappeared, his eyes became warm, and he said with a smile: "Miss Shen wants to read calligraphy and painting?" ”
He only showed his true temperament in an instant in front of her, and it was also extremely short and difficult to detect.
Shen Wanzhen smiled: "Yes"
Shen Xuanzhen saw that his expression changed instantly, and thought secretly, he is not an impulsive and reckless person, he will not act rashly, just look at his plan to deal with King An, he has already laid out, and he placed people in King An's mansion a few years ago, quietly, this is by no means a simple-minded, but thoughtful, thoughtful person, everything is carefully arranged, waiting for the best time, and giving the opponent a fatal blow.
King Ping's smile deepened, "This king has a collection of calligraphy and paintings, and he will pick two to give to Miss Shen another day, and he has always wanted to give Miss Shen a gift, but I don't know what to give." ”
Shen Wanzhen hurriedly excused herself, "I know a little bit about calligraphy and painting, so I just have nothing to do to hang out, so I just have time to take a look at it today." "If Zhao Shijiao knew that King Lu Daoping gave her something, he would be angry again.
King Ping bowed, "Where Xiao Wang once offended Miss Shen, please Miss Shen a lot, don't care." ”
Shen Wanzhen hurriedly returned the salute, "Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, there is no need to mention the past, the prince and King An are brothers, and Prince An is generous and does not care." ”
King Ping looked at her eagerly, approached her, and said in a low voice, "I'll wait, wait until you want to leave him one day......." ”
Shen Wanzhen's heart jumped suddenly, the two were uncles and sisters-in-law, but he had thoughts that he shouldn't have, Shen Wanzhen shook her head firmly, "No, there won't be that day"
Let's say it, Shen Wanzhen turned around and walked towards the sedan chair, King Ping stood behind her and whispered, "I'm not joking"
Shen Wanzhen didn't enter Mo Yaxuan, because she was afraid that King Ping would follow up, what he said made her heart tremble, this person was not talking about playing, she didn't change her mind, but Zhao Shijiao was suspicious and jealous, she didn't look back, got on the sedan chair, and had no intention of wandering around, and told the sedan chair man to go back to the palace.
King Ping watched her sedan chair go away, and it was not until he turned the corner that he could not be seen, and he got into the sedan chair and left.
For a while, the front of Mo Yazhai was empty, and everyone was gone.
Zhao Shijiao flashed out from behind a gray and blue brick wall, his fists clenched, his teeth clenched, the woman he loved deeply, dressed in a snow-white fox fur, pure and bright, smiled as bright as the sun at another man who was still his brother, and even the bleak surrounding scenery in winter brightened, of course, this was based on his conjecture, magnifying the facts.
After Zhao Shijiao dealt with the affairs of the government office, he remembered that Shen Wanzhen was angry last night and didn't open the door for him, so he planned to buy something she liked to give her and coax her to be happy, but he happened to see the sedan chair of King An's Mansion parked in front of Mo Yaxuan's door, he was thinking about it, and suddenly saw that the sedan chair of King Ping's Mansion also stopped at the door, King Ping came down from inside, the two talked and laughed, and looked intimate, of course, this is Zhao Shijiao jealous, confused, dazzled, and the relationship between the two seems to be extraordinary.
