240 Letter of Divorce
The old lady was very angry, "Look at his stinginess! I just wanted to give us two thousand taels of silver, but he didn't allow me to give it! Why, is he afraid that if I die, he will get less property?! β
"Poof!"
Hua Lian laughed out loud.
Xie Jinci sneered, "Grandmother, don't be angry, the fourth brother is he, he's very good......"
God knows how against her heart was!
Seeing that the old lady was still angry, Xie Jinci coaxed her: "By the way, grandmother, I bought you cherry cheese with crushed ice in it, which is the best to eat in summer." β
She looked back at her cherry cheese, only to find that most of it had been eaten by Hua Lian.
Xie Jinci: "......"
The old lady was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "The poor girl is greedy, and she stays in the Crane Courtyard all day long, and I don't know how many good things I eat!" β
Hua Lian licked her lips, "My mother-in-law doesn't like me, only my grandmother loves me, where am I not to rely on my grandmother?" β
The three of them were talking and laughing lively, when the maid suddenly came in and reported:
"Old lady, Concubine Shen came to visit and said she wanted to see you!"
"Concubine Shen?"
The maid said, "It's the prince's side concubine." β
Xie Jin's words are unknown.
The old lady was like a mirror in her heart, and she briefly told Xie Jinci about the identity of the person who came.
After the death of Old Lady Shen, the Ministry of Officials was taken over by the Shen family's henchmen, but it fell into the hands of Shen Zhixing, the cousin of Old Lady Shen, in just a few years, and Shen Zhixing was at odds with Old Lady Shen before he entered the office.
With the death of the elders in the clan one after another, the Shen family has also disbanded into many branches, and their family and Shen Zhixing have a deep holiday, one is in Jiangnan, the other is in Shangjing, and they have not interacted for a long time.
Shen Zhixing has a granddaughter named Shen Jingzhen under his knees, who married the prince at the beginning of this year and became a side concubine, and she was the one who came.
I wonder what she wants to do when she comes to the door today?
The maid quickly lured Shen Jingzhen in.
A beauty with an elegant posture, willow eyebrows and almond eyes, and a splendid body.
She smiled and sat down, "I heard that the old lady came to Beijing, but the prince's mansion was busy, and the concubine couldn't pull away, so she didn't come to visit until now, don't blame the old lady." β
Hua Lian was impatient to see the imperial relatives in Shangjing, and left first.
The old lady led Xie Jinci to salute her, "I've seen the side concubine." β
"Excuse me." Shen Jingzhen smiled softly, "This is the pearl of Sima Mansion?" Your uncle intended to rebel, and now he deserves to be raided. What's the matter, are you here to fight the autumn breeze in the Shen family? β
Xie Jinci lowered his eyebrows and did not speak.
Shen Jingzhen turned to the old lady again, "Don't hide it from the old lady, the reason why my grandfather was able to become an official and a scholar in the ministry was all due to my grandmother's support over the years. The term of your fifth son's release as an official has expired, and before he returned to Beijing, he collided with my grandmother who returned to his hometown to visit relatives. Now my grandmother is sick in bed, my grandfather is very angry, I am afraid that the career of your fifth son has come to an end, so this concubine specially came to the door and wanted to ask you to sign this paper to break off the family, so as not to harm the pond fish. β
The maid presented the letter of dismemberment.
Xie Jinci didn't know what was going on at all, so he had to look at the old lady.
The old man sat on a big chair, his hands folded in his sleeves, and his face was quite ugly.
She said coldly: "Collision? Lu Li wrote in his letter to his family, your grandmother forced him to marry a wife, and even beat him up and said that he was collided with by our Lu Li? β
How could the granddaughter of a concubine come to the door and force the elders to sign the letter of marriage?
Xie Jinci had never seen the grandfather of the Shen family, but he was able to condone the granddaughter of the concubine to make such a fool of himself, and he was not a good man.
She said, "My grandmother won't sign this thing." The side concubine has the ability, just ask Lord Shen to remove my fifth brother's official position! β
She knew that what Shen Jingzhen said about harming the fish in the pond was just a cover for threats and intimidation, they wanted to attack Shen Luli, but they were afraid of the Shen family behind Shen Luli, and once Shen Luli broke off his relationship with the Shen family, it would really become a fish and meat to be slaughtered.
Shen Jingzhen stroked the tea lid.
Lifting her eyelids and looking at Xie Jinci, the girl sat upright, with a delicate posture and a cold momentum.
Shen Jingzhen sneered, "The daughter of a criminal minister, dare to contradict this concubine?" β
The two maids behind her immediately stepped forward, grabbed Xie Jinci without saying anything, and pinched her to kneel at Shen Jingzhen's feet.
Shen Jingzhen reached out and lifted her jaw.
The girl's eyes were stubborn.
Shen Jingzhen's smile was even bigger, and suddenly she was slapped in the face!
After the beating, she wiped her hands with an embroidered handkerchief, "The daughter of the guilty minister will be dragged out and slapped for thirty." β
The maid was about to make a move, and the old lady slapped the table, "I see who dares!" β
Shen Jingzhen took a sip of tea comfortably, "Old man, this concubine respects you for raising so many children and grandchildren for the Shen family, so she is polite to you." If you refuse to sign the letter of intimacy, sooner or later, the concubine will hold your head and tell you to sign it! β
Xie Jinci broke away from the maid's hand and stared at Shen Jingzhen.
When they were in Jiangnan, the sisters of the Shen family were all very good.
But this concubine's sister has an arrogant and domineering personality, and she is terrible!
She touched her aching cheek and said coldly, "You should have begged my grandmother to sign it."
"The elders in the family are still there, when will it be your grandmother's turn to call the shots in my fifth brother's family affairs? If you refuse an unsatisfactory marriage, Lord Shen has no reason to expel my fifth brother from the family tree, so you can only come to my grandmother to sign the letter of severance. But you don't want to think about it, my fifth brother was the world-famous Tanhualang back then, and my fourth brother is the champion of today's department, and our Shen family's career is destined to be brilliant! β
Her mind was pierced, and Shen Jingzhen was annoyed.
She didn't expect that she would come here as the crown princess and concubine, and she would hit a wall!
How dare this group of barbarians from the south of the Yangtze River look down on themselves?!
When she mentioned Jiangnan, she was angry.
In the past, there was only one side concubine in the prince's mansion, and she did everything first.
Now that His Royal Highness has married Ning Shaoxing from Jiangnan, that strange slut doesn't allow the prince to touch herself, and even the prince is not allowed to touch other women in the backyard!
It's been a long time since she's been favored by the prince!
Shen Jingzhen was about to throw a cup and lose her temper, when a light and ethereal voice suddenly sounded softly:
"Old lady."
Flower pity goes and returns.
She came delicately, her light gauze skirt swayed and multifaceted between walks, her skin was white and translucent, and her eyebrows and eyes were gorgeous and seductive.
She is like a white peony in full bloom, so bright!
She leaned lazily by the door, smiling with a soul, "Yo, this is the crown prince's concubine?" Our old lady didn't want to sign the letter of severance. If you are not happy, you can invite the prince to come to the door, the slave family wants to ask him personally, there is a saying in the world that the concubine and granddaughter forced the ancestors to go out of the family tree one by one. β
She is beautiful and charming.
Shen Jingzhen was extremely jealous.
She knows that the prince is lustful, and if the prince sees this fox who came out of nowhere, he will definitely be moved to ask for marriage.
She snorted coldly and walked away with the maid quickly.
Xie Jinci breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the old lady, but saw that her face was so angry that she had not yet recovered.
Xie Jinci gave her a smooth breath and said softly: "Grandmother, don't be angry, we don't have the same knowledge as them." When the fourth brother comes back after winning the war, let him ask the emperor to make his grandmother a lady of the command, and see if they dare to come to the door to bully! β
She was like a child.
The old lady patted her little hand, and her eyes were full of tears and relief.
The old man went to the bedroom to rest, and Xie Jinci also said goodbye and left.
When he stepped out of the house, Hua Lian lazily folded his arms and said lightly: "I grew up in a land of three religions and nine streams, and I am very accurate in looking at men, and even more accurate in looking at women." Shen Jingzhen's kind of goods is narrow and short-sighted. Just now, you really didn't need to offend her. After all, the Feng family has fallen, and there is no one in the capital to protect you. β
She was impatient to see the imperial relatives in Shangjing, but because Xie Jinci and Shen Jingzhen were facing each other, she stood up.
Otherwise, Shen Jingzhen would definitely hate Xie Jinci.
Xie Jinci didn't care, "I treat my grandmother as my own grandmother, and I can't see her being wronged." If Shen Jingzhen dares to force her grandmother to sign a letter of renunciation today, I will fight with her. β
Childlike naΓ―ve words,
But it is sincere and heartwarming.
Hua Lian took a bite of the cherry, "Then be careful." β
The girl turned her head, her eyebrows and eyes crooked, "Pity my sister is beautiful and kind, I like you the most!" β
"Go, don't be poor!"
Hua Lian watched her go away, slowly spitting out the cherry pit.
Xie Jinci's love is sincere and warm, she is willing to give everything she has to the person she likes, and she can't complain that Shen Changfeng, a vicious dog living in the abyss, wants to get her.
Such a girl,
Who doesn't love that?
It was already evening when Xie Jinci returned to the jewelry shop.
The night breeze brings coolness, blowing away the heat of the day.
The long street is bustling with activity, and hundreds of people pour out of their homes to visit the night market.
Xie Jinci opened the door of the shop to do business, but it was not the customer who came to the door, but Libai and Meiqing.
"Why did you guys get back?!"
The girl was surprised.
Ribai frowned and took her hand first.
Their young lady's hands were originally delicate and white, but in just over two months, so many calluses have been born!
It can be seen how much she has suffered!
Mei Qing said excitedly: "Miss, we were bought by the fourth son!" Ribaku wants to come back to serve you, but is stopped by the slave! Because the slave has discovered a secret! β
Xie Jinci has not forgotten that Mei Qing betrayed him.
She sat down on the big chair, a little funny and a little sad, "What secret?" β
Mei Qing rubbed her hands, "Miss drove away the slave maid, and the slave maid could only go to the warehouse. Later, the Rong family moved to 500 dowries, which is really scary! The slave maid pondered, the only one in this world who is sincere to the young lady is the fourth son, how can the young lady be so kind and give so many dowry gifts to the young lady? The slave and maid had a mind at that time.
"Later, the little maids in the second and third rooms came, and they rummaged through the warehouse for several days and didn't know what they were going to do, and the slaves and maids were not allowed to follow! Later, there was a matter of the general's private hiding of weapons in the treasury and the uniform of the vassal king. The general is upright and upright, how could he do such a thing?!
"The slave maid guessed at that time that those things must have been mixed in the Rong family's dowry and carried into the Sima Mansion, and then the small servants in the second and third rooms should be combined with the outside, hiding the weapons and vassal king's clothes in the depths of the treasury for them, and framing the general!
"The slave is so angry, as soon as she gets free, she will immediately take Libai to catch those little guys! We chased for hundreds of miles, and those little guys died one after another! The Rong family didn't leave a single mouth, it's really ruthless! β
She finished pouring beans.
Xie Jinci under the lamp quietly clenched his fists.

Oh! Shen Luli is finally online!
