Chapter 144: A Plan for a Temporary Change
At this time, two maids walked in, exactly the same dress and appearance.
One of them said with a smile: "Fourth son, it's time for you to apply medicine." ”
Shen Xiao snorted and said to the old men: "It's not early, let's go to bed early, there will be more people coming tomorrow." ”
This is true, after the eldest princess of Zhaoyang and Gonggong Lao came, the news of Shen Sigongzi's return can be regarded as confirmed.
The old men retreated in response, and as soon as they walked out of Mulan Hall, a small servant ran over: "Uncle Xiang, the eldest aunt and grandmother and the third son of the second room are all here." ”
Xiangbo subconsciously looked up at the moon and asked, "It's so late, why did they come over?" ”
"Yes, it was said that Shuntianfu came to deliver a letter, and the second son was killed." The little guy said.
That's what happened.
Xiang Bo breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't expect that the second room had just received the news of Shen Feng's death, and the affairs of Shuntian Mansion were really procrastinating.
"Since the eldest aunt and the third son are here, then invite them to the small flower hall in the front yard, and I'll go over and have a look."
Uncle Xiang walked out as he spoke, and the little guy was stunned and hurriedly said, "They said they wanted to see the fourth son." ”
Xiang Bo sneered, the eldest son of the second room died, and there was such a big thing, if it was really a funeral, then just let the people take care of it, since it was the eldest aunt and the third son who came in person, it was not a funeral, but a temptation.
"Bastard, the fourth prince is seriously injured, don't you know?" Uncle Xiang scolded, and the little guy understood, and ran away.
Uncle Xiang left in a hurry, Lao Yang and several other old men did not feel sleepy, since the fourth prince came back, they have been excited, sleeping? What if you wake up and the fourth son disappears again?
"Lao Yang, we haven't scolded you yet, we changed our plan temporarily, why didn't you notify everyone?" An old man slapped Lao Yang on the shoulder.
Lao Yang dodged and said, "You mean to change to the second floor?" I can't really blame me for this, I didn't know beforehand, and it wasn't until I rushed into the garden that I found that the fourth prince had led the assassin up to the second floor. ”
"Then this is strange, the second floor is not suitable for hands, and the fourth prince will change it outside the new house of the prince." Another old man said.
"Well, eight or nine times out of ten there is an emergency, and the fourth son has to change his plan temporarily, but this is too risky, in case we are one step late, the fourth son is one against three, and the second floor doesn't even have a way out."
"There's no way back, and you can jump off the building."
"Nonsense, the fourth son's injury is not healed yet, how can he jump?"
"The fourth son is injured on the head, and it is not his legs and feet, of course he can jump."
"I said I can't jump, I just can't jump."
"You can't care, the fourth son can jump if he wants!"
……
The sound of the old men's quarrel faded away, and Amaranth and Shepherd's cabbage closed the door of Mulan Hall.
At this time, celery came out with a basin of water, and amaranth hurriedly stepped forward and gestured at celery, celery's brows gradually frowned, and Childe temporarily changed his plan in the plum garden? What happened in the plum garden?
Inside the house, the spinach had already finished dressing, and when he saw the celery coming in with a basin of water, he got up and got out of the way, and the celery wrung the veil clean and wanted to wipe it for Shen Xiao.
"No, I'll do it myself." Shen Xiao took the handkerchief, washed his face with water, and said, "You all retreat, Mulan Hall is very safe, you don't have to stay here, go to sleep." ”
Celery looked at Shen Xiao, and stopped talking. What Amaranth told her just now, she better not ask Childe. Since the son came back this time, he has been separated from all of them.
The next day, the news of Shen Feng's death spread all over the capital, and compared with this news, Shen Xiao's return seemed less noticeable.
After all, there are only a few people who know the identity of Shen Sigongzi, if it weren't for the fact that someone saw Zhaoyang Changgong and Lao Gonggong go to Yongguo Mansion yesterday, these people in the capital began to inquire, and they only heard that Shen Sigongzi came back, as for the identity of this Shen Sigongzi, there are now two theories: one is that Shen Xiao is the outer chamber of Yongguo Gong Shen Lingze, and now he has recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors; The second is that Shen Xiao is the child of the side branch of the Shen family, and there is no one in the Shen family's room, so he inherited the incense from the side branch to the stepman.
But either way, none of them stand up to scrutiny. Duchess Yongguo has been dead for sixteen years, if Yongguo has an outer room, why hasn't he taken it back until now? Besides, although there is no one in the Shen family's room, there is still the second room, so why not just inherit one from the second room?
Speaking of which, the topic returned to Shen Feng.
Shen Feng is the eldest son of the second room, and now he is dead, dead on the crowded street.
There have also been murders on the street in the capital, but most of them are ruffians fighting and fighting, like this in broad daylight, stabbed to death, and the people in the capital have only seen it in the book, not to mention, it is the son of the noble family who died.
Shen Yao, the eldest aunt and grandmother in the second room of the Shen family, married Liu Hui, the eldest son of the Liu family. It wasn't until not long ago that Liu Hui got a real job and went to Shanxi. Shen Yao grew up in the capital since he was a child, pampered, and after arriving in Shanxi, he socialized with the families of those low-cost military attaches all day long, and it didn't take long for him to get annoyed, and Liu Hui had no choice but to send her back to the capital. The in-laws have never dared to provoke this daughter-in-law who was born in Yongguo Mansion, and when she comes back, she can only let her, Shen Yao lived in her mother's house for eight out of ten days.
The eldest wife of the second room, Wu, is a stepmother, born in a small family, Shen Yao has never put this stepmother in his eyes, and the second wife is observant of words and feelings, and she is unwilling to fight with her. came and went, but whenever the eldest aunt and grandmother were in her mother's house, the next people would give it to her first, and then give it to the eldest lady Wu.
Yesterday, Shen Yao was blasted out by Feiyuwei in the Yongguo Mansion, she didn't dare to provoke Feiyuwei, so she could only suffer a dumb loss. When he returned to the house, he scolded Sang and scolded Huai, and scolded Wu and Wu's daughter Shen Kui.
After scolding, she saw that her brother Shen Feng, who was still in front of her just now, sneaked away, she looked around and found that Shen Feng was hiding under a tree with her maid and hugging.
Shen Yao slapped the girl a few times, and even scolded Shen Feng with it, Shen Feng was already annoyed in his heart, and was complained by his sister in front of the maid, so he simply went out of the house.
Shen Yao thought that Shen Feng was out to have fun, but he didn't expect Shen Feng to die on the street.
"This must have been done by Shen Xiao, it must have been him!" Shen Yao gritted his teeth and smashed a room full of things.
Last night, she took her cousin Shen Wei to the Yongguo Mansion overnight, but she didn't even see Shen Xiao's hair, and was blocked back by Uncle Xiang's old goods.
"Did the person who delivered the letter to the eldest master go out?" Shen Yao shouted.
Shen Linghong, the eldest lord of the second room, and Shen Lingqian, the second lord, found an errand for river workers, and went to Tianjin Wei at this time. Last night, when the news of Shen Feng's death was returned, Shen Yao asked people to send a letter to Tianjin overnight, but they were stopped by the standard-bearers at the city gate, saying that there was a murder in Shuntianfu, and even if there was an official certificate, he could not leave the city at night.
In desperation, they had to wait until dawn today to open the city gate, and the Shen family sent the letter out, but in this way, the eldest master and the second master were afraid that they would not be able to rush back until tomorrow.
