Chapter 296: Rong Chen's refusal
The carriage slowly turned around and headed for another street.
The night gradually dimmed, the lights turned on, the whole Upper Kyoto became noisy, and the sweet smell of food could be smelled everywhere, Rong Chen sat in the carriage in a daze, imagining that at this moment, Shen Nianzhen was already accompanying Mrs. Shen, and the family was sitting together, and the scene of a happy meal, was very envious.
Originally, he had a share of such a meeting.
It's just a pity that he can't go now.
Rong Chen's eyes crossed with a touch of pity.
The carriage rolled and rolled slowly, and finally stopped in an alley when it was completely dark.
After the carriage stopped, it was still the maid just now, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, please get off the car." “
Rong Chen stretched out his hand to lift the carriage curtain, and when he raised his eyes to see the courtyard door in front of him, he suddenly trembled.
This courtyard is a separate courtyard of the Su family, which was originally the dowry of Mrs. Su, and she gave it to Su Muwan, who often brought Rong Chen to play here when she was a child.
However, since Su Muwan separated from him and chose the crown prince, he has never been here again.
Unexpectedly, he was standing here again today.
For a moment, the expression on Rong Chen's face was very complicated.
Ah Li looked at his expression, his eyes flashed, and he smiled and urged: "Your Highness, our master is waiting for you inside." ”
"It's not appropriate, is it?" Rong Chen stood in the carriage, but didn't get out of the carriage: "After all, your crown princess is a widow, and this king also has a wife's room, so it's really inconvenient to go in." “
"What then? Our crown princess is not feeling well, so she can't come out to see you. Ah Li said helplessly: "Or doesn't Your Highness want to know the news of General Shen/Military Mansion?" Your Highness doesn't care who hurt that child? “
Of course, Rong Chen wanted to know the truth, and wanted to know who was behind the scenes, otherwise he wouldn't be standing here.
Hearing this, he made a straight face, glanced at Ah Li expressionlessly, and was unmoved: "I believe that no matter how weak your crown princess is, she still has the strength to come out and say a few words." ”
He didn't believe that Su Muwan was so sick that she couldn't get out of bed, this kind of woman was the most delicate and self-interested, and she would never let herself fall into such a situation.
And he doesn't want to have anything to do with her at all now.
"Then the prince, please go back." Ah Li sighed, looked at him and said with great regret: "It is absolutely impossible for our crown princess to come out, in order to see the prince, she risked being chased and killed by the queen mother, and secretly went out of the palace, but the prince was as timid as a mouse, and he didn't even dare to enter this small courtyard!" Could this yard be a tiger's den in Longtan? Everyone in the world says that the prince loves the princess to the bone, but I didn't expect that you wouldn't even dare to go in for her, so hypocritical, why pretend to be affectionate! ”
"It's because this king cares about the princess that he doesn't go in."
When Rong Chen heard this, his face was still expressionless, and there was not even a ripple in his eyes: "Since your crown princess refuses to come out, then the palace will leave first." ”
After speaking, he retracted his gaze, slowly lowered the car curtain, and instructed Dongchen to continue to catch the car.
"Okay! Rajah! You sit tight! Dongchen shouted, pulled the reins, turned the head of the car and rushed out of the alley.
Ah Li didn't expect to arrive at the door, Rong Chen actually said to leave!
She couldn't help but catch up with the first few steps, and shouted unwillingly: "Second Highness! I hope you don't regret it in the future! Our crown princess is willing to see you, only this once! It's you who don't take the chance! ”
Rong Chen was indifferent in the carriage.
The corners of Wen Yan's mouth were even hooked, revealing a mocking smile.
In the past, he wanted to see her, but he didn't know how many twists and turns it would take, but now he didn't need to see Su Muwan, but this woman was in a hurry to see him.
Sure enough, only what you can't get is the most fragrant?
Hehe, human nature is cheap.
……
When Rong Chen hurried to Shen's house, everyone had just sat down at the dinner table.
Because of the child's accident, the house was gloomy for several days, and it was easy to ask the people in the kitchen to prepare a large table of sumptuous dishes tonight, and as soon as he sat down, he reported outside, saying that the second prince was back.
"The prince is back? That's great! Fast! Come on, please come in! Old Mrs. Shen was overjoyed.
Shen Nianzhen was also surprised and delighted, and at the same time, he was a little worried on his face - so dignified, he didn't take care of the children in the other courtyard, why did he come back suddenly? Don't say hello in advance? Isn't there something wrong with the child?
Amitabha! Let's hope nothing happens!
Shen Nianzhen was worried.
Shen Nianzhu, who was sitting on the side, was also worried, since this happened, her mother Ding was completely disgusted by Mrs. Shen, because there has been no investigation into who the murderer of the child's poisoning is, Mrs. Shen wrote a letter of resignation on the spot, threw it to Ding, and told her to go back to her parents' house, but was stopped by Shen Nianzhen and Sister Shen Nianzhu on the spot.
Now, Ding has been completely imprisoned in the original three-room courtyard and is not allowed to enter or leave.
There are only Mrs. Shen, Sister Shen Nianzhen, and Mrs. Liao, as well as her two granddaughters Liao Kanglan and Liao Yulan.
The Liao family came in a hurry the day after the child's accident, and Mrs. Shen apologized to Mrs. Liao in person with great guilt, it was her own poor care that caused the child to have an accident, as the old lady who was the head of the house, she apologized in person, which was already a great respect, and Mrs. Liao's dissatisfaction with the Shen family was reduced a lot.
Later, the news came that the child was fine, and Mrs. Liao was greatly relieved.
That's why I'm willing to have dinner with the Shen family tonight.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took his seat, Rong Chen came back.
"Second Highness is coming back this time, and he will definitely bring better news!" Mrs. Liao said happily: "Fangru will go to the other courtyard early tomorrow morning, did the prince come back to pick her up?" ”
"I guess so." Shen Nianzhen said with a smile.
As for why Rong Chen came back, she didn't know why she was back.
The next person went to pass it on, and everyone in the flower hall looked at the door with blank eyes, and couldn't wait for Rong Chen to come back.
Soon, Rong Chen came in from outside.
"Old lady, Nian Zhen, this palace is back, Mrs. Liao, are you also there?" After entering the door, Rong Chen was taken aback when he saw a table of people and the sumptuous dishes.
"yes, of course I'm going to come and see if something so big happens."
Old Mrs. Liao said, and then stood up enthusiastically and greeted Rong Chen: "The prince must be hungry, right?" Hurry up and wash your hands and get to the table! “
She didn't ask about the child, she originally thought to wait until she was seated before she asked, but Liao Kanglan, who was fast-talking next to her, couldn't wait to ask: "Second Highness!" How is my little nephew doing? Is there any better? “
"The kid is fine, it's fine."
Rong Chen replied: "This palace came back this time because of other things, you don't have to worry about it all the time. ”
"Oh, that's good, that's good." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Only Shen Nianzhen, hearing this, the expression on his face became even more worried.
Not because of the child, but because of what? What is happening again? Otherwise, Rong Chen would not have come back alone......
In front of so many people, she didn't ask.
All of a sudden, everyone sat down one after another, and it was very lively.
Rong Chen sat next to Shen Nianzhen, looked at his smile, and then looked at the fragrant food on the table, and only felt that it was worth coming back today.
"Come on, come on, eat vegetables, eat vegetables." Old Lady Shen smiled and personally took a chopstick dish and handed it to Rong Chen's bowl, and said with a smile: "Your Highness can be regarded as saving the life of the Shen family this time, my wife is very grateful!" ”
"Old lady, don't say that, it's all a family, this is what this king should do." When Rong Chen heard this, he immediately said, "Your words have made me ashamed. In fact, this matter involves the government and politics, and the palace should have been on guard in advance, but I didn't expect that those people were so mad that they shot at a child, which was the fault of the palace. “
His tone was unusually sincere.
Old Mrs. Shen was taken aback, then quickly glanced at Mrs. Liao on the side, shook her head and said, "The prince is confused, what does this matter have to do with the government, it's all my third daughter-in-law's nonsense......"
"Third Lady Shen was just used." Rong Chen interrupted her and said slowly: "She really just ordered a little bit of croton, the nurse ate the meal, and passed it to the child through breast milk, in fact, the amount is very slight and very slight, the reason why the child is like this is that he was drugged, that person is likely to be the eldest prince." ”
Then he told them what they had encountered when they went out of the city gate that day, and what happened when they were recalled today.
Old Lady Shen and Old Lady Liao were taken aback, and they both showed shocked expressions.
There is such a thing!
As soon as their children had an accident, people were arranged at the city gate early to prevent them from going out of the city. The purpose was to make the emperor regain his dislike for Rong Chen......
This time, Mrs. Shen finally remained silent.
The old lady Liao on the side gasped.
This matter is actually related to the eldest prince! Their Liao family has nothing to do with the eldest prince! Why should they count their children......
I'm afraid that those people are deliberately using this child, but they are deliberately slandering Ding, and I'm afraid that Ding himself is deliberately instigated by those rainy mother-in-law to hate Liao Fangru......
It seems that the Shen family is indeed a traitor.
This traitor is not in the Shen family's own house, but in the third room of the Shen family.
It's really hard to prevent!
In the evening, back in Shen Nianzhen's courtyard, Rong Chen retreated left and right, hugged Shen Nianzhen and told him about the incident he had been invited by Su Muwan in the afternoon.
"In this way, the person who drugged your brother is Su Muwan, she also deliberately let people provoke the Ding family to do it, and took the opportunity to plant the blame, the purpose is to completely separate the Shen family's big house and the third room, and secondly, it is also to make you break with Shen Nianzhu, and the third can make your fourth sister isolated, and it will be difficult in the Su family in the future, it is really amazing!"
Shen Nianzhen listened in a daze, he really didn't expect that everything behind this scene would be Su Muwan.
It's horrible.
"Your Highness, you just said that it was the eldest prince who sent someone to intercept you at the gate of the city, and killed the general guarding the gate, instigated the ministers, and forced Your Majesty to deal with you, yes or no?" Shen Nianzhen suddenly raised his head to look at him, and said with burning eyes: "In my opinion, she is afraid that she has already formed an alliance with the eldest prince." ”
Rong Chen had already thought of this result when he came out of the palace and saw Su Muwan's maid Ah Li.
"That's all you care about?" He nodded, looked at Shen Nianzhen with some amusement, and said, "I thought that after you heard about this, you would blame me for going to see Su Muwan." ”
"Of course I blame you!" Shen Nianzhen frowned when he heard this, looked at him speechlessly, and said, "You walked to the door at the time, why didn't you go in?" If you don't go, how can she continue to sing her play? How can we know her true purpose? ”
"Nian Zhen, I'm your husband, not anyone else!" Rong Chen said helplessly when he heard this: "Are you really not jealous at all?" ”
"I don't want to eat it." Shen Nianzhen glanced at him, and said in a cold tone: "So a woman who once wanted to put you to death, if you can really be tolerant and generous, and accept him regardless of your previous suspicions, it must be true love, I'm afraid it's useless to be jealous, right?" “
"Naughty."
Rong Chen stretched out his hand, scratched her upturned nose, and smiled dotingly: "As you said, unless this king is a sadist, it is impossible for him to accept her in this life." ”
"What the hell is Su Muwan thinking?" Shen Nianzhen's face was full of doubt: "She has done so many things to hurt you, doesn't she have a little self-knowledge?" If I were her, I would never look back like her, and once I made a choice in life, I could only look forward. ”
"Probably, she is in vanity, or she is unwilling."
Rong Chen said faintly: "In this world, there are some people who are very greedy, even if you have given her everything, she still wants more, Su Muwan is this kind of woman, in the past, my third brother and I were so fond of her and satisfied her, but now that the third brother has died, I am also leaving, of course she can't adapt to it." ”
This has nothing to do with whether you love it or not.
……
Early the next morning, Shen Nianzhen went to the courtyard of the third room and personally released the Ding family.
When she saw Ding's first sight, she was taken aback: "Third aunt, how did you become like this?" ”
It turned out that in just two days, Ding seemed to be ten years old, with gray hair on his forehead and wrinkles under his eyes.
"Are you here to take me to the Yamen?" Ding Shi looked at her, he didn't even beg anymore, he only said in a low voice: "I just have a request, can you not send me there?" If, if you really hate me and don't want me to live, I, I can end it on my own and write a suicide note to prove that my death has nothing to do with all of you......"
"Third aunt, what stupid thing are you talking about?"
Shen Nianzhen interrupted her helplessly and said, "I'm here to let you out, I've already found out, this matter has nothing to do with you." ”
"What? Nothing to do with me? Ding was stunned when he heard this.
"Yes, it's not about you." Shen Nianzhen looked at her and said: "There is another person who poisoned her, someone deliberately wanted to target the Shen family and deliberately frame the blame for you, please think about it carefully, third aunt, why did you never resent Aunt Fangru before, and you were able to befriend her, but this time you couldn't help but feel disgusted and wanted to kill her child?" Did someone bewitch you? ”
"I ......"
When Ding heard this, he couldn't help but hesitate a little when he saw her inquiring gaze.
"It's okay, third aunt, just say what you know." Shen Nianzhen looked at her and smiled gently, and said, "Our Shen family is afraid that there is eyeliner mixed in, if we don't correct it, then this kind of similar thing will still happen next time, don't you want to see it?" ”
Since the child was poisoned and convulsed, Ding has been suffering for two days, almost like a year, the worries, anxiety, and grievances in her heart, regret almost tear her apart, she has never been so painful in her life, such a day, of course she doesn't want to try again!
Therefore, after listening to Shen Nianzhen's words, she immediately shook her head and hurriedly said, "No, I won't let that happen!" I think about it! ”
As he spoke, he closed his eyes and thought about it carefully.
Shen Nianzhen sat down on the chair next to her, waiting quietly and not interrupting her silently.
Outside the door, Shen Nianzhu stood quietly under the window, listening to the quiet sound in the room, and her heart gradually lifted.
Please, mother must remember who is making trouble!
She prayed silently in her heart.
After a long while, Ding's voice came from the room, with a hint of doubt and uncertainty: "The maid next to me, there is a man named Ling'er, and there is a surname Xu, these two people have often mentioned the eldest lady in my ears recently, saying that she is young and can't control the entire Shen family's inner house, and said that she was pregnant as soon as she entered the door, and this time she was even more many, the old lady originally liked her, but now I am afraid that I will like it more, and I am afraid that there will be no more status in the Shen family's inner house...... I ......"
"Third aunt, you don't need to say it, I understand." Shen Nianzhen nodded at her, and immediately shouted to the outside world: "Picturesque." “
"Miss, the slave is going to arrest someone!" Xiao Cui answered outside the door, then turned to leave.
Under the window, Shen Nianzhu glanced at the picturesque with some embarrassment, and simply didn't hide, turned around and raised her feet and entered the house: "Mother!" Big sister! ”
As he spoke, he walked in front of Shen Nianzhen, knelt down with a plop, and said in a sore voice: "Big sister, thank you for returning my mother's innocence!" ”
"Your mother's innocence is not too innocent."
Shen Nianzhen sighed when she heard this, looked at her and said: "The poisoning is fake, but the croton is true, this time, I'm afraid that Aunt Fangru won't forgive you easily, although my grandmother's attitude has been relaxed, but I'm afraid that I don't want to see you, third aunt, I'll send you back, wait a few days, and then talk about it." ”
Now this result, Ding didn't dare to think about it, she was afraid that it was extravagant.
didn't expect it, but it came true, where did she dare to ask for more?
If it were a chin bean who was hated by someone just after her son was born, I was afraid that she would never forgive that person for the rest of her life.
