Chapter 44: Aunt Liu's Abacus (1)
Shao Yunwan returned to the room, threw herself into Aunt Liu's arms, and said sadly: "Mother, I won't be able to participate in the palace banquet in the future." And my reputation is ruined, what should I do now? ”
After speaking, she cried even louder, Shao Yunwan felt aggrieved when she remembered the situation in the Imperial Garden, it was obvious that it was Shao Yunwan and Xin Yan's sluts whose reputation should be ruined, why was it like this, and how would she raise her head in front of those ladies in the future.
"Mother, it's all Xin Yan's slut who hurt me, and Shao Yunqing, the two of them hurt me like this, you must help me take revenge, I want Shao Yunqing and Xin Yan's two sluts to have a hard time." Shao Yunwan said viciously, eager to tear the two of them out of her skin and bones to vent the hatred in her heart.
Aunt Liu looked at her daughter with pity, she was originally a maid next to Mrs. Shao, because of her ambition, she didn't want to let herself live a dull life, and she married a subordinate casually but for a lifetime. She thinks she is beautiful and can study, even if she is an official eunuch and a concubine.
Early in the morning, he set his sights on Master Shao. Although Master Shao is average in appearance and not handsome enough, he is much better than those lowly subordinates, and his identity alone is in line with Aunt Liu's wishes.
So she deliberately approached Mrs. Shao, and showed her understanding when Master Shao came to Mrs. Shao's room, so that it was convenient for Master Shao to hook up. Under Mrs. Shao's nose, the two secretly Chen Cang, and soon Aunt Liu climbed onto Master Shao's bed, and under her careful design, Mrs. Shao "accidentally" broke the adultery between the two.
Master Shao didn't like Mrs. Shao's temperament, and when he married her, he actually took a fancy to the dowry behind her, at that time his official position was not high, and he needed to rely on her dowry subsidy to bribe his boss, it can be said that without Mrs. Shao, his official position would not be where he is now.
After being broken by Mrs. Shao, Master Shao felt a little guilty about Mrs. Shao, but he returned to his original state within a few days. Because Aunt Liu is happy.
Aunt Liu's belly is also competitive, and not long after giving birth to Shao Yunwan, she was also pregnant again, and this time she successfully gave birth to the only son of Shao Mansion, which made Master Shao and Mrs. Shao very happy, which is also one of the reasons why Mrs. Shao treated her differently.
Not long after Aunt Liu gave birth to Shao Yunhua, Mrs. Shao also found out that she was two months pregnant, but there were unforeseen circumstances, Mrs. Shao had a difficult birth during childbirth, not only gave birth to a stillborn baby, but also lost her life.
Because Aunt Liu listened to Aunt Liu's words, Mrs. Shao thought that Mrs. Shao's birth of a stillborn child would bring misfortune to Shao Fu, and she didn't care much about her funeral, and even wanted to let her funeral be done hastily, because of this incident, she didn't like Shao Yunqing.
In the past few years, I have never cared about her, Shao Yunqing's life in the mansion is like being forgotten, except for the fact that when Shao Yunwan sometimes comes to find faults, there may be a few traces of popularity in the yard, and her yard is also the most deserted in Shao Mansion.
When Mrs. Shao died, she was still young, but she also knew that her mother, who loved her the most, was gone, and she would be alone in the future.
On the day of Mrs. Shao's funeral, only Shao Yunqing cried, lying alone in front of Mrs. Shao's coffin, crying silently, still a small person, just curled up beside her, her whole body trembling from crying. Master Shao felt annoyed, and scolded her loudly, telling her to be quiet and don't mourn.
But it was obviously the day when her mother left, Shao Yunqing was afraid of Master Shao since she was a child, yes, when Master Shao talked about her, he was full of words, which he yelled at, and he completely forgot to cry, so he could only sobble silently.
The reason why Mrs. Shao is struggling in Shao Mansion is also because of her. She is the adopted daughter of a wealthy family, and after the death of her adoptive parents, she inherited a huge amount of property, but she is not a business material, and those industries are slowly declining in her.
In those years, when Mrs. Shao was alive, although she grasped the middle feed, she was slowly overshadowed by the old lady soon. Shao Fu wanted her property, so naturally it was impossible for her to know, so he slowly hollowed out her power and took the property for himself.
After Aunt Liu took over, in the face of that huge amount, she was happy and jealous of Mrs. Shao at the same time. Why is she also an adopted daughter, she can be adopted by a wealthy businessman and grow up holding her in the palm of her hand, but she was bought by her adoptive parents who have no conscience to be a maid in the house and become a lowly subordinate.
Thinking of this, the ridicule appeared on Aunt Liu's face again, but now you have become a handful of loess, watching your daughter being ruined and bullied by us underground, you must be blind to death, and your dowry has become my thing, and it will become my daughter's dowry, and your daughter is bound to become my Wan'er's stepping stone, and she can't raise her head in front of our mother and daughter for the rest of her life.
Taohong learned that Shao Yunqing was imprisoned in the ancestral hall, and immediately rushed over, but the foreign aid was guarded, and she had no way to find out about Shao Yunqing's situation.
Helpless, he could only wait for late at night, sneak into the courtyard, and flash into the ancestral hall while the guards were not paying attention.
The moment he saw Shao Yunqing, his eyes were red. Shao Yunqing was imprisoned in the ancestral hall, and he didn't freshen up for the past two days, so he looked a little embarrassed.
And because this ancestral hall is damp and dark, Shao Yunqing's face is pale, his eyes are also red, and he looks like he has just cried.
But he didn't stop copying the women's ring in his hand.
As soon as Tong Hong saw her, he ran to her side and called Miss, but he didn't dare to be too loud.
Shao Yunqing raised her eyes to look at her, a trace of joy appeared in her eyes, and said softly: "Taohong, why did you come in." ”
"Miss, I sneaked in while the guards were asleep, and I can't stay longer. I heard that you were imprisoned, Miss, why didn't you explain at the time, so that the master misunderstood you. ”
Shao Yunqing said: "I explained, but my father just thought that I was the second sister who harmed me, and he locked me up in the ancestral hall in a fit of anger." ”
Taohong knew that this must be a good thing done by Shao Yunwan and Aunt Liu, and the poor young lady had to suffer for it, the master was really confused.
Taohong said distressedly: "Miss, I also brought you your most delicious chrysanthemum cake, I inquired, Aunt Liu ordered to send you all the glutinous rice, it is not edible, I am afraid that you are hungry, you eat first, I sneak in every night to bring you food, you bear with it for a while, and after a few days, the old man will be discouraged, I will find a chance to explain this matter to the master, you can rest assured." ”
Shao Yunqing ate chrysanthemum cake, her face was moved, fortunately, she still has peach, she is not alone.
"Okay, then be careful."
"Don't worry, miss. I'll go first, you eat slowly. ”
In the next few days, Shao Yunqing seriously copied the women's ring during the day, and at night Taohong sneaked in to bring her food.
This night, Shao Yunwan saw Taohong's strange expression, and she stopped talking.
Asked, "Peach, what's wrong with you today?" Are you feeling unwell? Or is something happening? ”
Taohong looked embarrassed, and her face was anxious, and when she heard Shao Yunqing ask, she couldn't bear to hide it from Miss, so she said, "Miss, the master wants to marry you to the fourth son of Mrs. Chengfu's younger brother." ”
"What?" It was like a bolt from the blue.
Why did Daddy suddenly marry her to someone else!
"Why would Daddy do that?"
Only then did Peach tell the ins and outs of the matter.
It turned out that Mrs. Cheng Fu came to the door yesterday, and she wanted to ask Shao Fu for justice because of Cheng Yi's incident. Mrs. Shao came angrily, and when she went back, her face was full of spring, and Peach saw that she felt that there must be something greasy in it.
It happened that the master had been handling official business in the study for a few days, and Taohong thought that she would take this opportunity to meet the master and tell her that the young lady was wronged.
However, when I got close to the study, I heard Aunt Liu's voice coming from the study, and the pink cat was leaning over, wanting to know what Aunt Liu was looking for Master Shao at this time.
Aunt Liu in the room said: "The master doesn't agree, is it really going to make Wan'er ruined?" This is the life of a concubine. ”
Master Shao had a headache, and said in his mouth: "How can this make Wan'er ruined, there may be room for discussion in this matter." ”
Aunt Liu wiped away a handful of non-existent tears and said, "What else does the master have to worry about?" Mrs. Cheng said that if she didn't agree, she would make Wan'er unable to survive in Gyeonggi, and you can see Mrs. Cheng's attitude today, she is not joking. ”
"However, you can't push Qing'er into the fire pit......"
Aunt Liu glared at Master Shao: "How can this be said to be a fire pit, Mrs. Cheng also said that her nephew is a talent, if it weren't for the face of the master, this matter may not be good." Besides, Mrs. Cheng made it clear, if our house and her nephew become in-laws, and she can be regarded as in-laws, she has nothing to pursue in this matter. ”
Master Shao still hesitated: "It's just that Qin Ping is a fool, Qing'er married in the past, how can he live the rest of his life." ”
"Master, although Qin Ping is different from ordinary people, he can't be regarded as a fool, at most he is mentally incomplete, which also means that he is very simple in his heart and will hurt people. And there is no housewife in the Qin Mansion, Qing'er can be the master of her own house when she marries, isn't it very good, and it also saves Qing'er from being tossed by her mother-in-law and making rules. ”
Master Shao was indeed moved, she was not very clear about the situation of the Qin family, and after listening to Aunt Liu's words, she felt that the Qin family was a good candidate. It can not only calm Mrs. Cheng's anger and save Wan'er, but also rely on this family affair to attach to the Cheng family, which is also beneficial to the Shao Mansion.
Aunt Liu knew Master Shao the best, and knew that he had been shaken now, and the corners of her mouth under the veil rose.
Although Master Shao said so, he had no feelings for Shao Yunqing's daughter at all, if she could bring benefits to Shao Mansion, Master Shao would sell her without hesitation, but he had to pretend to be reluctant to say anything on his face.
