Chapter 25: A Thousand Knots in the Heart (Part II)
Shen Guang is good at dancing with long sleeves outside, and he prohibits every word in the internal order, although his daughter has a strong temper in the past, she is still consistent in front of him, so when he pulled Shen Yue into the house at this time, he scolded her head and face angrily, but found that her daughter was always standing there with her head held high with her face expressionless, neither replying nor expressing her position, and he was immediately angry.
"You go back to my room at once, and you are not allowed to come out without my orders!"
This time, Shen Yue raised his head. Looking at the few green tendons protruding from Shen Guang's forehead, she suddenly spoke: "Dad, if it weren't for the Zhao family, would you still withdraw from the Xu family's marriage?" ”
"You are a girl's family, and you can ask about the divorce?" Shen Guang slapped the rosewood desk angrily, but before touching the countertop, he still retracted all his strength, and only a low light sound came from it for a while, "Even if there is no Zhao family stepping in, I can't look down on the Xu family who only knows how to mess with the prodigal people in the market!" is young and only knows how to give up on himself, how can such a person who has no interest be worthy of my Shen Guang's daughter? ”
Seeing that his mother Shen Fangshi also showed a hesitant expression, Shen Guangzi's face softened a little, and he couldn't help but say seriously: "Yue'er, you are also older." Although your brother is studying hard now, there are so many talents in the world, how easy is it for him to take the exam? The Zhao family is not only a scholarly family, but also has several generations of eunuchs, after you get married, it is expected that it will be more comfortable than marrying the son of the Xu family. ”
"But Dad, you just said that the Zhao family took a fancy to me, but it was because of the Shen family's property!"
Shen Yue was still holding her head, even if Shen Guang's complexion changed greatly, she didn't bow her head, but said word by word, "What kind of scholarly family, can take a fancy to other people's property, and even no matter if other people's girls have already decided on family affairs, they still insist on interfering sideways, what kind of noble family is it?" It's despicable and shameless! ”
"Shut up!" Shen Guang was finally really annoyed, this time he slapped heavily on the table, and reprimanded sternly, "Haven't you heard of the Breaking Family County Order, the Destroying Door Order Yin?" The Shen family is not a deep-rooted family in Jurong, but even in Nanjing, others have to respect Zhao Qin for three points, just because he is a Jinshi from the Eight Classics and Two Lists after all, don't look at the nest in Nanjing now, maybe he will return to the capital! Besides, I only have your brother and you have a son and a daughter, and I earned these family properties with one hand and one foot, and I was going to add five to the two of you, and your brother has nothing to say about it, what are you talking about! ”
"It's my brother's business to agree, but I don't agree! He can marry me today because of the Shen family's property, and tomorrow he can kill me because of my dowry! ”
Shen Yue opened his mouth, and saw his father's slap slap towards him, and he was stunned for a moment. However, despite his anger, Shen Guang still stopped his hand at the last moment and shouted, "Someone! ”
With this shout, the little boy who was still in the main corner outside the door responded to the call, and when Shen Guang ordered the young lady to be sent back, he hurriedly stepped forward. Shen Yue didn't plead, he curtched to Shen Fang's family, who had been silent, bowed to his father's chin salute, and turned around and strode away without looking back. It wasn't until the door closed again and the footsteps outside gradually faded away that Shen Guangfang sat down with a long sigh.
"This girl is still in such a situation at home, if she marries the wife of the Zhao family, what will she do in front of her aunt?"
"Let me ask you, it's a pity for the Zhao family to say otherwise, but someone has officially mentioned this matter?" After a long period of silence, Shen Fangshi finally asked a word. Seeing that Shen Guang wanted to speak and stopped, she couldn't help frowning.
"Although Yue'er is young and ignorant of the world, such a big matter cannot be decided because of an easy sentence. What's more, the Zhao family in Jurong actually forced the nearby mountain people to move away from the ancestral graves, and the twelve mounds before and after. Moreover, the affairs of the Xu family are not so quick to stop. You just said that the Zhao family took a fancy to the Shen family's family business, so tell me, what did they like? ”
Why didn't Shen Guang know this? After pondering for a long time, he said with difficulty: "Mother, the Zhao family should take a fancy to the granges of our family in Jurong. ”
"What did you say?" Shen Fangshi was shocked and angry, and it took a long time to hold on to the armrest and try to stand up, but he was hurriedly supported by Shen Guang, who was quick-eyed. She looked at her son and asked word by word, "Don't you know?" Is that the foundation of our Shen family? ”
"Mother, you just said that the Zhao family is powerful." Shen Guang shook his head bitterly, and then said in a low voice, "Moreover, the reason why Master Xu's elders of the Xu family chose to make a move at this time is not only because Second Master Xu has not heard from him for many years, but also because the Zhao family is probably contributing to the troubles behind me." A few days ago, I saw that Mr. Luo, the famous guest next to Mr. Zhao, had seen the person in Xu's house. ”
Shen Fangshi gasped when he heard this, and shook his head for a long time, but he couldn't say a word. Mother and son, you look at me, and your eyes are full of deep fear.
Although Shen Guang instructed the scholar to send Shen Yue back to the room, it was until the second gate, and as for what would happen to the eldest lady after entering the second gate, a little scholar naturally couldn't control it. Distraught, Shen Yue didn't want to see her mother or go back to the boudoir, so she wandered around the yard aimlessly, and finally stopped at the bottom of the swing in the small garden.
She sat on the swing almost without thinking about it, but she didn't have the interest to swing high at all, so she sat there stunned with her cheeks back. I don't know how long it took before she heard a voice shouting for Miss, and when she looked up, she saw Ruyi running from the side of the path.
"Miss, why are you here?" Ruyi held his knees and gasped a few breaths, then stood up straight, "I heard that you have already entered the second gate and can't be found anywhere, so I remembered to look here." Miss, it's not really warm yet, you don't add an extra piece of clothing when you sit in the wind, what if you catch a cold? ”
"It's better if you catch a cold!" Shen Yue said such a sentence angrily, but when she saw Ruyi startled, she snorted lightly and stood up, "You are still serious." Phew, for those despicable villains who mistreated themselves, I haven't fainted yet. Go back, go back! ”
Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief. Keenly aware that Shen Yue was in a bad mood, she had to pick up all kinds of jokes all the way, but the young lady just responded with a match, obviously absent-minded, and it was difficult for her to continue, and when she closed the door after returning to the room, she made tea and sent it, and then said in a low voice: "Even if the young lady is angry with the master, don't put it on your face, let others see that it is not good, even the wife will definitely teach a lesson." Also, miss, before you, you were too wanton after all. ”
"Got it, got it." Shen Yue waved his hand angrily, sat there and groaned for a while, and suddenly hooked his hand to signal Ruyi to come closer. Seeing that this henchman was very vigilant, she couldn't help but stretch out her finger and poke lightly on the smooth head, "Don't worry, I used to be able to sneak out when it didn't matter, but now I won't go out at will at this time." By the way, you ask the godmother to send a message over there, tell him to be careful, and say...... Let's just say beware of the Zhao family. ”
"Miss, I don't have a head or a brain, where can I send a message!" Ruyi smiled slyly, and seeing that Shen Yue's face sank suddenly, she suddenly didn't dare to joke casually, and answered with low eyebrows, and then asked, "However, Miss, please explain more carefully, which Zhao family?" Why should we be wary? ”
"Which Zhao family asked him to inquire by himself!" Shen Yue gritted her teeth and burst out of this sentence, but as soon as the words came out, she remembered that Xu Xun quietly gestured to herself when she went upstairs at the banquet in Kuiyuan Tower last night, and then used those words to block her, after all, this heart and eye are not bad, she bit her lip lightly again, and then said in a low voice, "Tell him, the Xu family may not be behind the support of the Jurong Zhao family, if he really wants to make a moth, Xu Liuye may not be able to help him, let him pay attention to himself." ”
Ruyi agreed, but the person did not move his steps immediately, but stood beside Shen Yue and persuaded softly: "Miss, since the master has made up his mind, the matter is a foregone conclusion, it is better for you to stay away from the Xu family." ”
"I know, didn't I repay his father's life-saving grace, what else did I mean! Forget it, don't send any unclear messages, I'll write a note and you can take it out tomorrow! ”
Shen Yue was about to come up, Huo Ran stood up and glared at Ruyi angrily, seeing Ruyi retreating, she slowly sat down again, but one hand involuntarily rubbed the corner of her clothes.
If it weren't for Xu Erye's original old ginseng, let alone her, even her mother might not have survived that life-and-death situation. She saw the second master Xu a few times when she was a child, and she only felt that people laughed heartily, treated her very well, all kinds of gadgets and small stories continued, and later eavesdropped on the words of the girl next to her mother, she knew that it was her future father-in-law, who was not sensible at that time, and was very happy for a while. But when Xu Erye gradually lost his news, some time ago, he finally learned that his son Xu Xun was very unsuccessful, and his father wanted to withdraw from the marriage, she was disappointed, and planned to remind him to return Xu Erye's love for the last time, but she didn't expect that the rumored loser was completely different from what she imagined.
However, if the Zhao family is really determined to win themselves, or to the Shen family's property, then Xu Xun is naturally a thorn in the eye. Even a person like his father still has to succumb to the power of the Zhao family, he has no father, no mother and no support, what should he do?
After struggling like this for a moment, Shen Yue raised his little fist and knocked on the door of his head, and muttered angrily: "Why are you worried about that ghostly guy, it's enough for me to ask my godmother to send him a letter, and he's not me!" But it's me...... If it was really my father who agreed to the Zhao family......"
Thinking of the two words he blurted out in front of his father, Shen Yue couldn't help but bite his lip fiercely. It's just a try, if she really can't get rid of this fate despite all her might, she will marry her, and she won't let the Zhao family succeed!
