"Sister, I'm here."

As soon as the words fell, Shen Yunlan strode in from outside, he did not go to the yamen today, but asked for leave to stay at home.

"Big brother." Shen Nianzhen held on to the picturesque arm, sat up hard, took a deep breath, and said, "Come over a little, I have something to tell you." ”

Shen Yunlan glanced at Old Lady Shen, and immediately stepped forward and whispered: "What's wrong?" ”

Shen Nianzhen leaned into her ears and whispered a few words.

"Will this work?" Shen Yunlan's eyes widened violently.

"It's the last resort." Shen Nianzhen said a little weakly: "If it hasn't been used yet, I can only send someone to Liushui Town on the outskirts of Beijing and invite the doctor surnamed Ge back......

Shen Yunlan pondered for a moment and said, "It's better to use the first method faster, you wait, I'll do it." ”

With that, he turned around and walked away quickly.

Old Lady Shen looked curious: "Zhen'er, what do you tell him to do?" ”

"Find me an antidote." Shen Nianzhen said, glanced at the old lady a little weakly, and said, "Grandmother, I'm a little tired, I want to sleep for a while." ”

When you fall asleep, it shouldn't hurt like this, right?

"Okay, okay, you sleep, grandmother doesn't disturb you."

Seeing that Shen Nianzhen's face was becoming more and more red, swollen and bruised, Mrs. Shen imagined that she must be in great pain at the moment, and she hated that this pain was on herself, so she nodded again and again, and sighed: "My poor Zhen'er, go to sleep, it shouldn't hurt if you fall asleep......"

……

West Courtyard.

A bunch of people gathered in the back garden and discussed: "Have you heard? Yesterday, the eldest lady came back from the palace, I don't know what was contaminated, a face, swollen like a pig's head! Ugly! ”

"Really? The eldest lady is so beautiful, how can she become a pig's head? You're lying, aren't you? ”

"What the second lady saw with her own eyes can still be fake? Besides, how many doctors have been invited into the house today! The maidservant who spoke first looked disdainful: "If you want me to say, the eldest lady's face has been ruined, and her marriage contract with the second prince is afraid that it will be invalidated......"

"Who's to say it isn't?"

"The eldest lady is fighting back and forth, but in the end she is not as good as the second lady, the world is unpredictable......"

Shen Nianci stood at this end of the corridor, listening to the discussion of those subordinates with satisfaction, the smile on the corner of her mouth became more and more, she raised her eyes and glanced at those subordinates, she turned around and returned to her courtyard, and on the way she met a small guy who had followed her brother Shen Yunqi in the past, stopped someone and asked, "What I told you to do, can it be done?" ”

"Second Miss, don't worry, the matter of the eldest lady's face ruined is now known to the whole city!" The little guy lowered his voice and said, "Second Miss, what about the silver you promised to give to Xiao?" ”

"I can do without you! It's really money-seeing! Shen Nianci rolled his eyes, took out a purse and threw it to the little girl, and said, "Okay, you go down, don't tell anyone about this, otherwise you won't be able to eat and walk around!" ”

The little guy responded again and again, turned around and retreated.

Shen Nianci returned to the West Courtyard with a smile on her face, saw her mother, and told everything she saw and did today.

"I think from now on, Shen Nianzhen, a slut, can only end up being abandoned by the second prince! Seeing her so unlucky, my heart can be comfortable! ”

Shen Er's wife, Qian, who hadn't shown up for a long time, heard this, and her face was also smiling, and the mother and daughter were as happy as if it was the New Year, and asked the kitchen to prepare a lot of food and prepare to feast.

Second Uncle Shen and Shen Yunqi had quietly gotten into a carriage and secretly went out of the city to Xuzhou one night half a month ago. It should be almost here at this time, and Second Lady Shen was originally going to go, but Shen Nianci tried her best to stop her, saying that she needed the Qian family to prepare a dowry for herself, and it would not be too late to go to Xuzhou after she got married.

Mrs. Shen didn't want to mind her business, so she agreed.

The second lady stayed in Shangjing for the time being.

"Mother, after this incident, after I get married, you can stay in Shangjing forever." Shen Nianci said happily.

The second lady was not as optimistic as her, and sighed when she heard this, and said, "What's the use of staying?" After all, this huge mansion was purchased by the boss alone, and it has nothing to do with our second room, and as soon as his new wife passes through the door, the old lady in charge of this mansion must be handed over to the Liao family, what is the point of the mother staying here? It's just sending people under the fence and looking at people's eyes. ”

Shen Nianci heard this, and immediately frowned.

"Mother, if we don't think about it, let's ruin the family affair between the uncle and the Liao family!"

She blinked her eyes and said: "It just so happens that the eldest sister has an accident when she enters the palace this time, it is from the Liao family, as long as we let out the rumors that the Liao family has a part in the murder of the eldest sister, the eldest uncle will definitely turn against the Liao family!" ”

"Your uncle is not a fool, can he believe it?"

Most of the second ladies are in the back house, and they don't often see Shen Chong in their daily lives, and in my impression, this eldest brother who is the pillar of the Shen family is a man with a majestic face, who is naturally reluctant to get close.

"Mother, haven't you heard that three people become tigers? This rumor has spread so much that I believe it even if I don't believe it. ”

God recites the word of mercy and his eyes shine.

"That'...... Why don't you try it? When the second lady heard this, she was a little moved.

"Alright, don't worry! I'll leave that to me! Shen Nianci smiled, his radiant appearance was very different from his delicate and delicate appearance in front of people on weekdays.

……

Shen Nianzhen didn't leave the house, her face was ruined, but it spread all over the streets and alleys of Shangjing overnight.

At the same time, there was also news that the reason why she was disfigured was all because of the eldest girl of the Liao family who had made a relationship with Shen Da.

Shen Chong heard the news as soon as he could, and immediately trembled with anger: "Who is talking nonsense?" Zhen'er's face was harmed by Miss Su, what does it have to do with Miss Liao! ”

"Father, someone must have deliberately provoked and wanted to sabotage your marriage to Aunt Liao."

In contrast, Shen Nianzhen seemed calm and calm: "As long as you don't believe it, it's fine." ”

"I'm afraid that the Liao family will listen to rumors." Shen frowned, and there was a thick mist of sorrow between his eyebrows, which was not only worried about his daughter, but also sad about his marriage contract that was about to be ruined.

"Dad, you are relaxed, Aunt Liao is not that kind of person."

Shen Nianzhen smiled and persuaded: "Back then, my father was affected by the second prince, and they were all willing to settle their family affairs, how can they believe the rumors now?" You have to be confident. ”

"Really?" Shen asked solemnly.

Shen Nianzhen nodded immediately: "If you are not at ease, let the subordinates send some gifts to the Liao family and see what they say." ”

"This ...... Can it be done? Shen Zhong was a little skeptical.

However, before he could get the gifts ready, the Liao family's gifts entered the door of the Shen family.

The one who came to give the gift was the eldest lady of the Liao family, who personally held a big brocade box, got off the carriage in front of the gate of the Shen family in front of everyone, took a sedan chair into the house, and went directly to the Chunhui courtyard to meet Mrs. Shen: "Old lady, I'm sorry, it's all my girl's bad girl, and I asked Miss Shen to go into the palace to visit Concubine Qi, which caused today's disaster, please forgive me!" ”

As he spoke, he pulled Liao Yulan and was about to kneel.

Old Mrs. Shen was frightened, and hurriedly beckoned Mama Zhou to stop her, and sighed: "I don't blame you for this matter, Nianzhen, as a junior, went to the palace to visit Concubine Qi, this is what should be done, I also agreed at the beginning, none of us thought that the queen mother...... Alas! ”

Old Lady Shen let out a long sigh.

Liao Yulan seemed to have cried, her eyes were swollen like walnuts, she raised her head, looked at Mrs. Shen and asked shyly, "How is Sister Shen now?" Me, can I go see her? ”

"Her face hurt so much that she just fell asleep." Old Lady Shen said, "Don't go in and disturb her first." ”

Liao Yulan nodded, a little disappointed in her eyes.

"Old Madam Shen, have you heard about the rumors outside recently?" Mrs. Liao hesitated to speak.

"I've heard that, that's all nonsense!" When Mrs. Shen heard this, her heart instantly mentioned, and she told the truth in 1510, and finally said: "What happened in the palace that day, Your Majesty sealed his mouth, and it is not good to discuss it again, but what is the truth, our Shen family is clear, and we will never blame Fangru, you come today...... Are you planning to quit your family? ”

When Mrs. Liao heard this, she immediately gasped: "Miss Su is such a gentle and beautiful woman, how could she do such a vicious thing?" It's unthinkable! Don't be a man! ”

Liao Yulan suddenly interjected: "She dares to harm His Royal Highness, what dare she not do!" If you want me to say, it's normal for her to do such a thing! It's all my fault for not reminding Sister Shen to be careful of her! ”

"Shut up!"

Mrs. Liao suddenly turned around, looked at her coldly, and said, "If you hadn't dragged Miss Shen into the palace to visit Concubine Qi, how could you have caused so many things?" You still have the face to say! When I got home, I thought about it! ”

"Alright, Mrs. Liao, it's not her to blame." Old Lady Shen sighed when she heard this, and said, "Maybe this is the catastrophe in our true life!" ”

"Old lady Shen, our Liao family will not withdraw from our family."

Mrs. Liao said in a resolute tone: "I came to the door today, first, to visit the eldest lady, and second, to hear the old lady's opinion. ”

"That's a good relationship, and our Shen family doesn't plan to withdraw from our family." Old Lady Shen immediately laughed when she heard this.

Old Mrs. Liao also breathed a long sigh of relief.

After sending off the Liao family, Mrs. Shen was asking Mama Zhou to send the tonic to the kitchen for people to stew, and Shen Nianzhen came over from the side room.

Her face was still horribly swollen, but the pain had eased a little after a few simple creams.

When a room of maids saw her, a flash of fear flashed across their eyes, and they all bowed their heads.

Shen Nianzhen was accustomed to this, waved his hand and told them to stand down, then walked over and sat down in front of Old Lady Shen.

"Grandmother."

"You're awake." Old Mrs. Shen turned around, looked at her and smiled kindly, took her hand and said, "The people of the Liao family have just come, and your father's marriage with the Liao family continues, are you happy?" ”

"Really?" Shen Nianzhen immediately smiled when he heard this.

This is the only happy event in the family in the past two days.

"Why is it so difficult for you to let your eldest brother do it, he hasn't been back for two days." Old Lady Shen said with some doubts: "It can't be, you really went out of Beijing to find a doctor, right?" ”

Shen Nianzhen opened his mouth and was about to answer, when there was a sound of footsteps outside the house, which was very heavy.

The grandfather and grandson turned around and saw Shen Yunlan walking in.

"Big brother! What do you think? Is Dr. Ge invited? Shen Nianzhen stood up and asked with a smile.

“…… No. ”

Shen Yunlan's tone was very sad, looking at her still swollen and terrifying face, he blamed himself very much: "Sister, I'm sorry, it's all because the eldest brother is useless, all the means of coercion and temptation have been used, and he still can't bring him back to Beijing......"

"It's okay big brother." Shen Nianzhen showed a look of guilt on his face when he heard this: "It's all my fault, it's that I didn't make it clear to you, this Doctor Ge has an arrogant temperament, although he has superb medical skills, he easily refuses to treat people's injuries, his only hobby is to collect paintings of Master Xianhe Zong, as long as you bring a pair of his real works, you can let him return to Beijing obediently." ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier!"

Shen Yunlan just sat down next to the chair, stood up when he heard the words, didn't even bother to take a sip of tea, and turned around to go again.

"Come back." Shen Nianzhen said: "Do you have a painting of Master He?" ”

"I don't have it, but there must be someone in Shangjing, and I pay a high price to buy it, and I can always get it." Shen Yunlan said: "In short, I will finish this matter as soon as possible and heal the wound on your face!" ”

"It's too late." Shen Nianzhen also stood up and said, "I have a peony picture of Master He that I copied myself, let's take it and try it first, and then send the treasure when it is cured, make amends to him, and I will go with you." ”

"You're going too?" Shen Yunlan was taken aback.

"Yes." Shen Nianzhen nodded, got up and returned to the east wing, took out a scroll of paintings, opened it in front of Shen Yunlan and the old lady with a smile, and said, "Look, how about this blessing painting?" ”

The scroll unfolded, and a picture of a graceful and luxurious, extremely delicate and realistic peony slowly appeared in front of everyone.

Old Lady Shen often saw Shen Nianzhen painting, so she was not surprised, but Shen Yunlan was very surprised: "Little sister, when did your painting skills become so powerful?" It's not like you've ever painted it. ”

Shen Nianzhen smiled silently.

After marrying Lu Yiming in her last life, she was neglected all the year round, and she stayed in the back house every day only to paint to comfort her life, not only paintings, but her words have also improved a lot compared to her previous life.

Of course, these things are simply vulnerable when they encounter natural and man-made disasters and intrigues.

"Big brother, you only said that this portrait is not like Master He's painting?"

Shen Yunlan stared down at the painting carefully for a long time, from the painting to the seal, every frame was carefully read, and finally shook his head and said: "Like, I can't see the difference, but little sister, do you really want to give this painting to Master Ge?" You're not afraid of being debunked by him? We, the children of the Shen family, pay attention to treating people with sincerity, and to do so is to deceive ......"

"I don't care about that much."

Shen Nianzhen interrupted him: "Not to mention that Master He's authentic works are originally few, besides, it's something that is hard to find, where do you find it for a while?" And who wants to sell it to you? My face can't wait. ”

When Shen Yunlan heard this, he was speechless for a moment, what Shen Nianzhen said was the truth, and this matter was imminent.

"Alright then, try it, it's important to treat your face first." He said.

"Okay, you go to set up the car, wait at the door, I'll pack up and go with you."

"Wait!" Old Lady Shen suddenly spoke: "Zhen'er, just let Yunlan handle this matter, why are you going?" Wait at home! The daughter's family is not good. ”

"Grandmother, I'm in a carriage and no one will know." Shen Nianzhen explained: "And the eldest brother doesn't know how to talk to that Doctor Ge, I will go, it is possible to invite people back, and the injury on my face can't wait......"

When Mrs. Shen heard her say this, her heart immediately hung in the air.

Looking at her granddaughter's pleading gaze, the old lady's lips squirmed for a moment, and finally let out a long sigh: "That's it, since you're going, let's go......"

"Thank you, Grandmother!" Shen Nianzhen immediately stepped forward with a smile and hugged the old lady tightly, and then turned around and went to change clothes in the wing.

Shen Yunlan put away the peony picture, put it in a rosewood brocade box, and took it to prepare the carriage.

Half an hour later, the brother and sister met at the gate.

Shen Yunlan saw that Shen Nianzhen was wearing a long dress with light green tulle and narrow sleeves embroidered hibiscus, with a veil of the same color on her face, only a hibiscus-colored peach blossom hairpin on her sideburns and dazzling.

With that slender figure, it's very good-looking.

His younger sister seems to be a lot stronger, and she didn't cry when she encountered such an extremely important thing for a woman as her face being ruined, but she solved it calmly and calmly, which is better than Shen Nianci, who is crying and crying and will only use all her means, I don't know how many times.

By the way, there is also that Su Muwan.

As soon as he thought of the woman who had harmed his sister so far, Shen Yunlan's face became gloomy.

This matter will not be left at that!

"Brother, let's go, what are you doing in a daze?" A hand stretched out in front of Shen Yunlan and waved it funny, Shen Yunlan came back to his senses and saw Shen Nianzhen looking at him curiously.

He said nothing and got into the carriage.

The carriage departed.

In the carriage, Shen Nianzhen sat beside him, looking nervous and picturesque: "What are you afraid of, it's only three or four hours back and forth, and we won't stay in the suburbs for the night." ”

"Who said that? What if your injuries aren't that easy to heal? ”

Shen Yunlan frowned and said, "We have to prepare for the worst......"

Shen Nian was really about to answer, but suddenly the carriage jolted, stopped, and the fish intestines who were driving the car said outside: "Young Master, Miss, our carriage was stopped by the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei......"

Zhenbei Hou Mansion? Lu Yiming? What is he here to make a fuss about?

Shen Yunlan snorted coldly, lifted the curtain, glanced at the opposite side, and said coldly: "Lu Shizi, what are you doing here?" Get out of the way! ”

"Who should I be? It turned out to be Brother Shen. ”

Lu Yiming also lifted the curtain of the car on his side, poked his head out and grinned at Shen Yunlan, his appearance was very unscrupulous: "Brother Shen, where is this going early in the morning?" I'm wondering if the direction of the yamen isn't here......"

"I'm not going to the court, I'm going out of the city for something." Shen Yunlan said lightly: "Please get out of the way." ”

"I'm sorry, we came first." Lu Yiming sneered: "If you want to let it, you will also get out of the way......

Is it made up of mind to block them here?
