Chapter 153

Shen Mansion is panicked these days, Mrs. was poisoned, before the murderer was found, many people were involved, the people who went to the room to wait for the wife, all the concubines in the house, the big kitchen, Master Shen had to put down everything in his hand and investigate the matter, if it was not investigated, the hidden dangers would be left, and maybe there would be victims.

When Shen Wanzhen returned to her parents' house, Master Shen went to the government office, she first went to the upper room to see Mrs. Wu, the yard was very quiet, the snow in the past few days had been swept away, piled on both sides of the road, and the bluestone road in the middle led straight to the upper room, and a maid came out of the bright room, and saw Shen Wanzhen retreat aside, squatting and saluting, crisp voice, "Hello third aunt and grandmother"

Shen Wanzhen walked past her, "How is Mrs. doing?" ”

"My wife was much better, took the medicine and fell asleep."

Shen Wanzhen stopped walking, Wu was asleep, did she want to go elsewhere first, and come back later, the maid then said, "The fourth aunt and grandmother are in the house"

Shen Wanzhen took a step, thinking to herself, whether Shen Wanyun's itinerary to Shandong was decided.

When Shen Wanzhen entered the house, Shen Wanyun was walking out, "The third sister is coming" Shen Wanyun's lower abdomen was prominent, not as ruddy as in the first few days, wilting, and faintly dark circles.

"How's Mother?"

The two sisters sat on the side of the kang in the outer room and talked.

Shen Wanyun looked sad and sighed, "The doctor said that the poisoning is deep, and the poison in the body is not easy to remove, and my mother is not as uncomfortable as the first few days, and she can sleep for an hour or two at night, but she is weak and can't walk around on the ground." ”

Shen Wanyun's voice was low and sad, Shen Wanzhen asked: "When will my sister-in-law leave for Shandong to take up a post?"

"Originally, I wanted to leave as soon as possible, my mother is like this now, I really don't feel at ease to go, wait for the New Year, let your sister-in-law go alone, wait for my mother to get better, I am in the past."

"Has the poisoner been found?" Shen Wanzhen wanted to confirm whether her guess was correct.

Shen Wanyun said angrily: "It was Aunt Ding who bought the poison under the maid, and the maid in the same room secretly told her that she had held red gold jewelry to show off, as if she had made a small fortune, and searched, and sure enough, she found several pure gold hairpin rings, which were used by the master at a glance, she said that the master rewarded her, and asked her, she said that Aunt Ding rewarded her, she was diligent in her legs, and she was attentive to Aunt Ding, and Aunt Ding liked it, and wanted her to go to the house, and took something to trap her, and her father saw that the maid was dead and did not admit it, and Aunt Ding heard the letter, crying and howling, saying that someone framed her, my father called the sixth sister alone, and as soon as I was scared, the sixth sister was recruited, and it was Aunt Ding who hated Mrs. Ding for forcing the sixth sister to remarry, so she was poisoned."

Shen Wanzhen asked; "What did my father do with Aunt Ding?" She has guessed that ** is not far from ten, according to her father's character, Aunt Ding will not end well, either she will be sold, or she will be sent to a remote farm, it seems. “

Shen Wanyun said: "My father was furious, and he wanted to impose family law on Aunt Ding, the sixth sister cried desperately, and my father surrounded her life, beat her, and sent her away, in a family like ours, my father was an official in the court again, and he was sent to the government, and it was the face of the Shen family that was lost." ”

The two were talking, and a maid went back and forth, "The master returned home"

When Master Shen saw the palace sedan chair in the court, he knew that the princess's daughter had returned to her parents' house, guessing that she must be going to the upper room, so she came directly, Shen Wanzhen and Shen Wanyun squatted and called "Father", according to the family etiquette Shen Wanzhen should give a salute to Master Shen, but according to the national ceremony, Master Shen should salute his daughter, and there are no outsiders, so they are all exempt.

Master Shen asked, "Is your mother asleep?" ”

"Just fell asleep," Shen Wanyun replied.

"Zhen'er, you go to the study with your father, you have something to say for your father"

The father and daughter went to Master Shen's study in the front yard, the father and daughter sat down, and Master Shen said, "The matter in the palace is complete?" ”

Shen Wanzhen knew that her father was asking about King Ping's trouble a while ago, and said, "It's okay, my father doesn't have to worry."

"I heard that the Queen Mother was very sick in the first few days, and the emperor has no intention of dealing with state affairs, why did you go back to your parents' house if you didn't go to the palace to serve the Queen Mother? Anyway, the Queen Mother is your mother-in-law, and filial piety is the duty of a daughter-in-law."

"My daughter has been sick, the queen mother is sick, and my daughter has just returned to the palace for two days"

Master Shen said approvingly: "That's right"

He asked again: "How is the prince treating you?" ”

Shen Wanzhen smiled sweetly, "Father, rest assured, the prince is very good to his daughter"

Master Shen looked at her, as if he had something to say, but he stopped for a while because of the exit, and finally couldn't help asking, "Still haven't moved in your stomach?" ”

Shen Wanzhen was slightly stunned, immediately understood what her father meant, blushed, and shook her head shyly.

"Have you seen the Imperial Doctor?"

Shen Wanzhen nodded, lowered her head and whispered: "The Queen Mother has seen the imperial doctor and said that there is nothing wrong."

Master Shen was obviously relieved and suspicious; "That's the prince......"

Shen Wanzhen was even more shy, and her voice was so low that she could barely hear it, "The prince is in good health."

Master Shen was puzzled and stared at her twice, "Didn't the princess wait for the princess?" ”

Shen Wanzhen's head hung lower, and for a long time, she nodded lightly.

Master Shen was worried and relieved, and did not forget to instruct: "Go back and let the imperial doctor prescribe some medicine for conditioning." ”

These words between Master Shen and his daughter had to be said as a last resort, if Mrs. Wu is good-looking, her mother-in-law will be more comfortable with her daughter, but now that Wu is taking care of herself, if this is important, he has to tell him face to face, now he has to be favored, but after a long time, let alone the royal family, it is an ordinary family, and women have no heirs, and they are not stable in their in-laws.

The daughter didn't care much about the little Master Shen, but when it was related to his career, Master Shen was as careful as a hair, and even asked about such trivial things as women.

Shen Wanzhen nodded, changed the topic and asked, "Father sent Aunt Ding away, and the sixth sister is making matters worse, so I must be very sad in my heart." "Shen Wanyu is husband doesn't want her anymore, the child is gone, and the departure of her biological mother is a big blow to her.

Old Man Shen snorted angrily: "Sending the Ding family away is cheaper for her, if it weren't for the Shen family's face and your sixth sister, how could I let her go so easily." ”

"Is the marriage of the sixth sister still counted?"

"How can you not count, the dowry is all down, and when your mother-in-law's condition stabilizes, send her out"

Shen Wanzhen said worriedly: "But the sixth sister suffered blows one after another, and forced her to remarry, can she stand it?" Is it to wait for this time and slowly unravel her, always have her own willingness, and she can live a good life after the door. ”

As soon as Master Shen mentioned Shen Wanyu, he frowned, "Why is she not satisfied, the Lin family has a lot of money, hire her to be the head lady, although she has a son, she is a concubine, she will inherit the family business in the future, she will not worry about food and clothing for several lifetimes, the son-in-law is only in his early forties, the spring and autumn period is prosperous, I have already inquired, it is a serious person, people have seen your sixth sister, it is a hundred willing, she is a married woman, has given birth to children, what else is to be picky, I think this marriage is good." ”

What her father said was that the conditions were good, but Shen Wanyu had a biased idea and forced her to remarry, for fear that it would be difficult to accept it for a while, and her husband's family would not be at peace after passing the door.

When Master Shen mentioned Shen Wanyu's mother and daughter, he was angry, "I can't let her temperament, most of them still think about Wu Jinglan, she has to marry if she marries, and she has to marry if she doesn't marry."

Master Shen couldn't wait to send his daughter away immediately, and the concubine who was sent back by the man's family to live in the mansion was a very disgraceful thing for the Shen Mansion.

Shen Wanzhen came back from beating her mother's house, what her father said has been in her ears, she has been married for almost a year, Shen Wanyun is pregnant, she wants a child, Zhao Shijiao stays in her house every night, but she can't get pregnant.

"My princess sits alone, what do you think?" Zhao Shijiao entered the door, she didn't need to pass in the past, she could tell Zhao Shijiao's footsteps from a distance, probably thinking about it, and didn't notice that he had entered the house.

Shen Wanzhen stepped forward and was about to squat, but Zhao Shijiao stopped her, "It's not that you don't have to salute, it's uncomfortable to go back and forth." ”

Shen Wanzhen instructed the maid to fetch water, and then served him to change into homely clothes, and the two sat and talked to each other, Zhao Shijiao deliberately stared at her, and said; "Why aren't you happy today, have something on your mind? Is there something going on with your mother's family? ”

Shen Wanzhen shook her head, her moist eyes were full of guilt, looked at him, and said in a low voice, "You really want a child, don't you?" I'm so useless that I can't even conceive a child. ”

Zhao Shijiao took her hand, "Don't worry, we have only been married for less than a year, and the queen mother also gave birth to me a few years after marrying my father." ”

Shen Wanzhen's bright eyes dimmed, "In case I haven't been ...... all the time"

"It's enough for me to have you," Zhao Shijiao comforted her.

Shen Wanzhen was moved, and was about to speak, "Lord, princess, Mrs. Xiao asks to see"

"Let her in," Shen Wanzhen said.

After a while, with the sound of slight footsteps, Mrs. Xiao was supported by two maids, staggered into the door, turned down and bowed, and said in a thin voice: "The concubine asks the princess and princess to say goodbye."

"Hurry up and help your master up, my sister is seriously ill, and I have something to call the maid to come over, why come here in person" Shen Wanzhen said busily.

Mrs. Xiao knelt down, kowtowed three times upward, and her voice trembled, "The concubine is not angry, not only can she not serve the prince and the princess, but also let the prince and the princess worry about the concubine, the concubine should die, please leave the palace, and beg the prince and the princess to agree." ”

"Do you want to go there?" Zhao Shijiao's tone was soft, but he was concerned but did not mean to keep her, Mrs. Xiao suddenly felt cold, it seemed that the prince had no other thoughts about her, and he ruthlessly let her leave with her illness.

Shen Wanzhen stepped forward, helped her, and said: "Sister, your mother's family is not in the capital, there is nowhere to stay, you are sick now, if you really want to leave, you will have to wait for the illness to heal and send you back to your hometown in Jiangxi." ”

Shen Wanzhen's voice was sad, her back was to Zhao Shijiao, but there was a smile in her eyes, this smile made Mrs. Xiao's knees cold, and she didn't dare to get up, and said: "If the princess doesn't agree to the concubine, the concubine won't get up today."

Shen Wanzhen was very satisfied with her knowledge of current affairs, sighed lightly, and said softly: "I promised my sister that it is, but my sister still went to live in another hospital first, and when she recovered, I will send my sister on the road." ”

Shen Wanzhen bit the word on the road very hard, and her eyes were cold, Mrs. Xiao couldn't help but tremble, and hurriedly excused herself: "My sister has been sick for a long time, and she wants to go to the temple, and she is clean and undisturbed." ”

Shen Wanzhen helped her sit down on a chair and looked at her with a smile, "It's okay, the temple is blessed by the Buddha, and my sister's illness may be cured." ”

Shen Xuanzhen turned around and looked at Zhao Shijiao and said, "What does the prince think?" ”

Zhao Shijiao nodded, "It's okay, find a temple nearby and donate more money and food." ”

Shen Xuanzhen said to Xiuju: "Find Steward Chen"

Xiuju agreed, and finally invited this master away, Xiuju was afraid of delay, this master changed his mind and quickly went to find Chen Fu.

Chen Fu followed Xiuju to the upper room, and Xiuju turned back several times, "The prince and the princess are waiting, Manager Chen hurry up"

How dare Chen Fu delay, he trotted and came to the upper room, seeing the prince and the princess, Zhao Shijiao didn't speak, Shen Wanzhen said slowly: "Manager Chen, the air in the suburbs is good, find the best temple, bring more silver taels, and you will personally send Mrs. Xiao to it later." ”

Chen Fulu had already heard what Xiuju said, so he was not surprised, he glanced at Mrs. Xiao, he could see that this was a matter of time and time, the concubines of the prince in the palace were gone, sold and sold, the princess wanted to live alone with the princess, the princess was poured ** soup by the princess, and the princess was pleasing to the eye both horizontally and vertically, and the stunning beauty could not be seen in her eyes, and the princess did not dare to delay, and immediately went out of the house to find the temple.

Shen Xuanzhen ordered someone to send Mrs. Xiao back to the house, and Zhang Luo prepared things for Mrs. Xiao to leave, saying that she was pitiful for her weak body, and found two big sweaters that she didn't wear, and ordered someone to send them to Mrs. Xiao.

Zhao Shijiao saw that she was busy, raised his legs to go to the front study, walked past her, hugged her slender waist, and said in his ear: "Are you satisfied this time?" ”

Shen Wanzhen's willow waist swing, coquettish and stupid, "If the prince is reluctant, don't send her to the concubine"

Zhao Shijiao opened his mouth and bit down on her greasy white neck.

Waiting for Zhao Shijiao to leave, Shen Wanzhen said to Mrs. Yan: "Keep an eye on her, don't let her do anything." ”

Shen Wanzhen was a little surprised, Mrs. Xiao is a person who is glued to her body and is not easy to get rid of, so leave happily like this, don't play any tricks.
