179 Original Sin (1st Shift)
Mrs. Tai was stunned by this scene, she had never seen Shen's shrewd appearance.
Mrs. Tai subconsciously looked at Duchess Mu Guo, but saw that the other party looked unfazed, as if what Shen did was not a big deal at all.
Mrs. Tai's heart sank again, and she was convinced that Duchess Mu Guo had really come to make trouble when she accompanied the Shen family to the Hou Mansion this time!
For so many years, the eldest son Chu Lingxiao has always favored Aunt Jiang, and the Shen family must have cried when she returned to her parents' house this time, so Duchess Mu Guo specially came to support her daughter.
Mrs. Tai doesn't like Aunt Jiang now, and thinks that she and her daughter Chu Qianchen will come to things more than one another.
But she didn't like it anymore, and she always felt that the Shen family was not very sensible.
She is almost thirty years old, she is old, and her daughter is about to get married, she wants to teach an aunt that although she shows the prestige of being a housewife, she actually went to her mother's house to come to the Hou Mansion to make trouble for her husband's favorite concubine.
I really don't have the demeanor of the housewife of the Hou Mansion!
Aunt Jiang's face turned three points pale, and her eyes flashed with an uncertain light.
Her long, white hand clutched a handkerchief in her hand, her fingers slightly white from the exertion.
She looked back and forth at Shen and Chu Qianchen, vaguely aware of something, Jade Tooth bit her lower lip slightly, and didn't dare to call Chu Qianchen's name again, let alone ask why Shen was angry.
At some point, the sunny sky outside became overcast, and thick clouds piled up in the air, as if night had fallen in advance.
Immediately afterward, the wind blew fiercely, and the summer weather changed as it was said, and the heavy air was filled with the tension of the coming storm.
In the main hall, no one spoke again.
The lady at the top frowned slightly, waiting for Shen to speak.
After Shen smashed the teacup, he didn't mean to speak, and Mama Chen immediately asked the maid to serve tea again.
The atmosphere was so strange and solemn that the maids in the main hall didn't even dare to clean up the mess at Aunt Jiang's feet.
There was a dead silence in the room, Shen didn't speak, and the others didn't speak, and the stiff atmosphere continued.
Aunt Jiang just stood with her head down, and a cold sweat gradually broke out on the back of her neck.
At first, Mrs. Tai was still waiting for Shen to say, but she waited and waited, and Shen never spoke.
It had been silent for too long, so long that Mrs. Tai didn't know if it was a stick of incense or half an hour, she drank a few cups of tea without knowing the taste, and finally couldn't help but say: "Ah Zhi, what do you want to do?!" ”
Just to smash a cup, just to sit like that?!
Mrs. Tai couldn't help but glance at Duchess Mu Guo, feeling that Duchess Mu Guo was also old and confused, and she was messing around with the Shen family like this!
Shen Shi took another sip of tea and said calmly: "Don't worry, it's not too late to wait for Chu Qianhuang to come back." ”
Hearing the Shen family call Chu Qianhuang like this, Aunt Jiang's slender body stiffened slightly, glanced at the Shen family again, and lowered her eyes silently.
Another moment passed, until the first thunder sounded in the sky, Chu Qianhuang came back, walking in a hurry, describing anxiety.
She wore a begonia red embroidered butterfly play hibiscus gown, with a pink pleated skirt, which was bright and extraordinary.
"Big girl, go this way."
A maid walked in front to lead Chu Qianhuang.
When he stepped into the main hall, Chu Qianhuang naturally also saw Duchess Mu Guo, Shen Shi, Chu Qianchen and Aunt Jiang standing in the center of the main hall, and his eyes widened slightly in surprise.
She hurried back to the Hou Mansion from the palace because she heard that Mrs. Tai was seriously ill, but now that Mrs. Tai was sitting on the top of the house, she was safe and sound, and she already felt that something was wrong.
Chu Qianhuang's steps slowed down, his eyes flickered, and he continued to walk to Mrs. Tai, and bent his knees and blessed, "Grandmother." ”
Her posture is elegant, her demeanor is square, and that elegance seems to be engraved in her bone marrow, and her style is outstanding.
Immediately afterwards, she also saluted to Duchess Mu and Shen: "Grandmother, mother." ”
Shen's expression was cold, and he said lightly: "I'm not your mother." ”
Mrs. Tai frowned, feeling that the Shen family was simply inexplicable, and she actually gambled with her own daughter.
This Shen family is inevitably too domineering, isn't Sister Huang just going into the palace as a companion?
Mrs. Tai thought that the Shen family was angry about Chu Qianhuang's insistence on being the princess's companion.
Chu Qianhuang's pupils shrank slightly, a flash of panic flashed in his eyes, and then he reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, "Mother, my daughter is ...... wrong."
"I'm not your mother." Shen directly interrupted Chu Qianhuang.
She didn't miss Chu Qianhuang's momentary suddenness, and secretly said in her heart Sure enough, Chu Qianhuang really knew her life experience.
Shen raised his hand and pointed at Aunt Jiang behind Chu Qianhuang, "This is your mother." ”
Mrs. Tai: "......"
Chu Qianhuang: "......"
Aunt Jiang: "......"
Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and in an instant, the sound in the room seemed to be sucked away.
All three of them were surprised, but each was surprised.
Even Mama Wang and other grandmothers and maids heard it, and they were dumbfounded, and they couldn't help but look at each other, not understanding what kind of play this was singing.
Chu Qianhuang froze in place, she didn't go to look at Aunt Jiang, but looked at Chu Qianchen.
However, Chu Qianchen didn't look at Chu Qianhuang, she lowered her eyes and drank tea, calmly, as if everything that happened here had nothing to do with her.
"Smack!"
Mrs. Tai was first shocked and annoyed, and slapped her palm heavily on the coffee table.
Mrs. Tai put on the majesty of her mother-in-law, raised her hand and pointed at Shen and reprimanded: "Enough! Look at you, full of nonsense, how can you still look like Mrs. Hou! ”
"Our Yongding Marquis Mansion is the founding auxiliary minister, generations of meritorious service, and there has never been a daughter-in-law like you who return to her mother's house at every turn, you are the head of the house, and the eldest sister-in-law, I don't know how to be cautious in words and deeds, give the following ......"
"Generational merit?" Shen Shi interrupted Mrs. Tai with a sneer, and the corners of his mouth hooked a disdainful arc, "In my opinion, this Yongding Marquis Mansion is simply hiding filth and dirt!" ”
The Shen family doesn't save face for Mrs. Tai at all, it's all rotten here anyway, what do you want to do with face?!
Shen Shi looked at Chu Qianhuang again, his eyes were as sharp as arrows, and he still called him by his name: "Chu Qianhuang, do you already know who is your biological mother?!" ”
Without waiting for Chu Qianhuang to answer, Shen looked at Aunt Jiang again, "Jiang Minshan, why don't you recognize your biological daughter!" ”
The servants in the main hall were even more shocked, and they still haven't reacted.
Outside the main hall, there was another deafening thunderclap.
The rumbling thunder rang out one after another, one after the other, like a thousand horses galloping.
"Boom!"
Every thunder was like a hammer hammer that struck hard into the hearts of everyone.
Mrs. Tai was angry at first, but gradually calmed down a little, and then looked at Shen's appearance, it didn't seem like she was talking angrily.
Moreover, the Duchess of Mu Guo did not stop her, and the Shen family made a lot of nonsense, all this is really too strange.
The anger in Mrs. Tai's heart subsided, and her heart was full of doubts, and she went to see Chu Qianhuang and Aunt Jiang again.
Aunt Jiang still stared at the tip of her shoes with her eyes down, as if she hadn't heard of it.
Chu Qianhuang's face was shocked, and her pretty face turned pale.
She bit her lip slightly and sincerely admitted her mistake: "I know I made my mother angry, I will change it!" ”
"Mother, I know that I shouldn't have left the Guogong Mansion without permission, it's my fault!"
"You are angry, punish me, scold me, let me kneel in the ancestral hall, copy scriptures, I am willing to ......"
Chu Qianhuang's voice trembled slightly, and he looked at Shen Shi with a hurt look, his eyes filled with crystal tears for a moment.
The more Mrs. Tai looked at it, the more she felt that something was not quite right, but she had just been angry with the Shen family, and she couldn't pull it off, so she could only give Mama Wang a look.
Mama Wang cleared her throat and played a round tentatively: "Yes, big lady, big girls know that they are wrong......"
Shen came this time to make things clear, she didn't want to be false and wronged with them, she didn't want to cover up anything for Chu Lingxiao and Jiang Minshan, and she didn't want to wronged her own daughter to carry the name of a concubine.
"Mother," Shen sneered at Mrs. Tai, "you might as well ask your niece, or perhaps your son, what he did in the Daping Temple fourteen years ago!" ”
Shen's phoenix eyes were dark and deep, burning with raging anger and murderous hatred.
Shen said almost word by word: "Fill the concubine with the concubine, steal the dragon and turn the phoenix." ”
"He is unkind to his own daughter, and he is unjust to his wife."
"He will take revenge, regardless of flesh and blood, unkind and unjust, and he is not worthy of being a man at all!"
With Shen's angry rebuke, the temperature in the main hall continued to drop, and it seemed that it had suddenly entered a cold winter.
Chu Qianhuang felt that the cold chill seemed to pierce into the bone marrow, and Shen's words pierced her heart like needles.
Finally this day has come!
Chu Qianhuang felt a little sad and powerless in his heart, and the whole person was like standing on a thin steel wire, shaky.
She tried so hard and tried so hard, but she still couldn't escape......
She came to the capital of the country called Daqi in the spring of last year, and that day was as lightning and thunder as it was now.
At night, she slept very unsteadily and had a dream.
In the dream, she knew that this was a book, and the protagonist in it was not called Chu Qianhuang, Chu Qianhuang was just a little girl who was tricked by fate, just an insignificant victim in this book.
Her background is her original sin!
As early as when she was born, she was quietly swapped by her father with the daughter born to her mother.
However, the truth will be revealed.
It was in March of this spring.
On that day, Chu Yunmu fell off the rockery and lost his life.
The Shen family decided that someone was plotting to kill Chu Yunmu, and finally found out about Aunt Jiang and Mama Cui, and then found out that Chu Qianchen and Chu Qianhuang were secretly reversed.
For this reason, the Shen family made a big fuss about the Hou Mansion and called Mu Guogong and his wife to support her.
No matter how Mrs. Tai persuaded her softly, made Chu Lingxiao admit her mistake and accept punishment, and severely punished Aunt Jiang and sent her to the family temple, but the Shen family was still unyielding and aggressive, so that Chu Qianhuang in the middle fell from a concubine to a concubine overnight, and became a laughing stock in the capital, and since then she has not been able to raise her head in the capital.
It was clear that Chu Qianhuang had done nothing wrong, why did she have to suffer such an unfair fate!
In the dream, the key to everything was the day Chu Yunmu fell off the rockery, she didn't know what day it was, so during that time, she went to Bixiao Tower every day to read and paint.
It wasn't until the ninth day of the first month of March that she finally waited for Mama Cui.
That morning, she deliberately scared Mama Cui away in advance, and then picked up Mama Cui's lost handkerchief near the rockery, originally she also wanted to save Chu Yunmu and prevent him from going up the rockery, but Mei'er ran over, and she could only leave in a hurry.
Fortunately, Chu Yunmu lived.
She thought that this was the best ending, thinking that everything could be back on track, but she didn't want Chu Qianchen to suddenly change and get closer and closer to the Shen family.
The Shen family treats Chu Qianchen like a daughter, but they are becoming more and more strict with themselves......
It's just a short snap of his fingers, Chu Qianhuang is already thinking thousands of times, and he is turning back and forth.
"Boom!"
Another thunderclap blasted through the sky.
Chu Qianhuang's body trembled violently, and Sakura's lips trembled slightly.
The Shen clan did not miss the changes in Chu Qianhuang's body.
Although she guessed in her heart yesterday that Chu Qianhuang should know the truth, she still told herself countless times that Chu Qianhuang was also a child raised by her own hands, and the children she taught would not be too bad.
However, now, Chu Qianhuang's performance once again broke her expectations.
At this moment, the Shen family could be 100% sure that Chu Qianhuang did know.
She knew she wasn't born on her own.
Therefore, she deliberately encouraged Chu Qianling to dance with Chu Qianchen, because she wanted to ruin Chu Qianchen's face......
