"Grandmother, I just glanced inside the carriage, that Liao girl is in her twenties, beautiful in appearance, and elegant in manners, such a person is naturally enough for her father...... As for character, I don't know. ”

Old Mrs. Shen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This matter is not in a hurry, and it is not decided in a moment or three, inquire slowly, and you can always know her character." ”

Shen Nianzhen nodded, and said with some distress: "Grandmother, the second aunt is arguing with you again today, right?" ”

"It's okay, I'm used to it."

Old Mrs. Shen shook her head with a smile, reached out and stroked her forehead, and said, "You have been shopping for a long time today, and you are tired, I asked Mama Zhou to prepare some light and moisturizing pear soup for you, you can drink it and go to sleep." ”

"Yes, grandmother."

Shen Nianzhen agreed, and then retreated.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, Shen Nianzhen was still asleep in the east wing, and was awakened by a sudden noise.

She opened her sleepy eyes and sat up.

Picturesque walked in from outside: "Miss, you're awake." ”

"What's going on out there? Could it be that the second aunt is starting to make trouble again? Shen Nianzhen yawned.

"Miss is really like a god."

Picturesque nodded, and while serving her to dress, she sold Guanzi: "Miss, guess what, why is the second lady making a fuss?" ”

"Because of Shen Nianci's leg injury?" Ponder the truth.

"No, it's the second son." Ruhua replied: "The second son went out yesterday, and was put on the head with a sack, beaten hard, and was seriously injured, and the person was just carried back. ”

"Second cousin was beaten?" Shen Nianzhen was taken aback, and then a little funny: "This gentleman is stealing chickens and touching dogs in Shangjing, lingering in Flower Street and Willow Lane, it is not strange to have this encounter." ”

"Does Miss know who hit him?" Picturesque asked.

Shen Nianzhen thought about it and said with a smile: "I think it's Lu Yiming." ”

At the birthday banquet of Zhenbeihou that day, Lu Yiming was discredited because he saved Shen Nianzhen who fell into the water, plus the famous prostitute of the Qinglou who was recognized. In the end, all this was found out, it was all Shen Nianci who was making trouble behind his back, Lu Yiming would not resent Shen Nianci, but he would definitely not let Lu Yiming go.

After all, this purse originally flowed out of his hand.

"Huh? Is it Lu Shizi? Picturesque was a little surprised: "The second lady was crying at the old lady's and was about to faint, she said that the eldest master offended his political enemies outside, and was retaliated against the second young master!" ”

"What nonsense!"

When Shen Nianzhen heard this, his face sank.

After washing up in a hurry, she didn't care about breakfast, so she took Ru Picturesque to the old lady's house.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I heard the shocking cry of the second lady: "Mother! This time Yun Qi must have been plotted by someone, the eldest brother has hands and eyes, you must help him check it......"

Shen Nianzhen opened the curtain and walked in, and saw Mrs. Shen sitting on top with a gloomy face, angry and distressed: "What's the use of saying this now?" The top priority at the moment is to quickly find a doctor to treat Yunqi's injuries! He's going to be fine, everything is easy to say! ”

And vice versa.

Second Lady Shen's crying was paused, followed by another earth-shattering cry: "Yun Qi's injury should be treated, but the person who beat him behind his back just let it go?" ”

"Of course not." Mama Zhou replied, "The Great Commander has already asked people to investigate......

"Did the investigation come out of the way?" The second lady asked expectantly.

"Second aunt."

Shen Nianzhen suddenly spoke: "My father is busy with things in the army every day, and he doesn't even have time to go home to say goodbye to his grandmother, it's not his duty to investigate the second brother's affairs, you don't thank him, and take it for granted, and now he comes to question again, why don't you let the second uncle do it!" After all, he is the father of the second cousin. ”

This questioning with a gun and a stick immediately caught the second lady off guard.

After returning to Beijing, so many things happened, all of them were Shen Chong to wipe her ass, she was used to it, and even took it for granted, but now she was asked by Shen Nianzhen so bluntly, and she suddenly didn't know how to respond.

But the anger in the second lady's heart suddenly came out.

"The elders here are talking, when is it your junior's turn to speak? It's not your turn to take care of this yet! Stand aside! ”

"It's good that I'm a junior, but when it comes to my father, I have to stand up." Shen Nianzhen said coldly: "Second aunt, you bullied us for not having a master mother in our long house, that's not good!" ”

After speaking, she returned to Mrs. Shen's side.

Old Madam Shen patted her hand with a look of relief.

The second lady's face was red and white, and she suddenly clapped her hands, lay down on the ground, and began to splash and roll: "Oops! I'm not alive anymore! A large family watched their relatives being seriously injured, and they didn't care about it! Is there a human touch? What kind of family are these! ”

"You, you're going to sprinkle it outside!"

Old Lady Shen's forehead suddenly jumped with anger.

Second Mrs. Shen didn't care about it, she still splashed and rolled.

Shen Nianzhen was extremely angry, and instructed Mama Zhou to help the old lady into the inner room, and said unceremoniously to the second lady: "Second aunt, grandmother, she is not in good health, you have always known that if she has a good one this time, no matter whether the second cousin is beaten to death or not, my father will never care about a finger!" Do you believe it or not? ”

How could the second lady not know that Mrs. Shen was well, which was the foundation for them to stay in Beijing in the second room?

Otherwise, as soon as Mrs. Shen died, they would have to leave if they didn't leave.

But Shen Nianzhen's words just now were too angry, she sprinkled to deal with her, but Shen Nianzhen didn't eat this at all, and threatened her in turn.

Those words seemed to pinch the seven inches of the snake, and the second lady suddenly got stuck, and she couldn't let out a cry anymore.

The inverted triangular eyes shot out a thick resentment.

Shen Nianzhen smiled slightly, not caring at all.

"Second aunt, please go back, treat the second cousin's illness well, my father will naturally do what should be done, but if someone cries and makes trouble, our big house will stop immediately, and we will not care about the affairs of the second room!"

"We are a family......"

The second lady was still unwilling.

"It's okay to split up." Shen Nian smiled genuinely.

The second lady suddenly lost her mind to make a fuss, got up from the ground and patted the dust on her body, glared at Shen Nianzhen hatefully, and said gloomily: "If you are engaged to the second prince, it's different!" You can keep your marriage contract well, don't be divorced again like the last time. ”

After saying that, turn around and leave.

The third lady Ding came to ask for peace, and happened to meet the second lady at the door.

The second lady grabbed her hand and said, "Brother and sister are here?" Go, go to my room, I have something to say to you. ”

"I, I'm here to say hello to the old lady." Ding hesitated.

"Let's go! The old lady doesn't want to see anyone now. ”

The second lady used great force to pull the person away.

When Ding left, he smiled at Shen Nianzhen embarrassedly.

Shen Nianzhen gave her a smile back.

She didn't care about this, and went into the back room to accompany Mrs. Shen.

"Zhen'er, it's really thanks to you today." As soon as Mrs. Shen saw her, she held her hand with a grateful face, and just now the second lady rushed in, but it really gave her a headache.

"Grandmother, it's all granddaughter's bad and her failure to handle things properly that made you suffer." Shen Nianzhen said: "Don't worry, this will not happen again in the future." ”

Erfang Lai has been in Shangjing for a long time, and it's time to leave.

"Nian Zhen, what are you talking about?" Old Lady Shen said suspiciously: "The second lady made a fuss because Yun Qi was beaten ......"

"Grandmother, the person who beat the second cousin is Lu Yiming."

Shen Nianzhen interrupted her and said, "Second sister, she tried all kinds of calculations and plans, and finally made the reputation of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei ruined, and she had to marry her into the mansion, do you think the people of the Lu family will endure this?" The second sister is a woman, and the Lu family doesn't care about her, but will only vent their anger on others. ”

At this time, Shen Yunqi is the best object.

What's more, he's not clean at all, like that purse.

"Nian Zhen, will the Lu family retaliate against you?" Old Mrs. Shen was stunned for a moment, and then became nervous.

"That won't be."

Shen Nianzhen immediately smiled when he heard this: "I am already engaged to the second prince, even if the Zhenbei Hou Mansion hates me again, he will not dare to provoke the second prince?" That's a man who will repay him! There's no need to kill yourself in order to vent your anger, is there? ”

"The people of the Lu family know how to judge the situation very well."

Old Lady Shen was silent when she heard this.

"Then don't let your father check it anymore, the second child is to blame, these are what they deserve." After a long time, she spoke slowly.

"Well, granddaughter knows." Shen Nianzhen replied.

……

Old Lady Shen still made a move in the end.

I don't know what she did, the second lady's family quieted down instantly, stayed in Xifu honestly, and didn't make trouble anymore.

Ruhua inquired secretly, and came back to report: "The old lady asked the maid next to the second miss to be taken away, and they were scolded and interrogated, and they recruited, saying that on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, the second miss kept sarcastically satirizing the third miss, saying that she was a tail behind Miss You, and she only knew how to please the stammer, and the third miss was angry, so she went back coldly and sarcastically, saying that she seduced her brother-in-law and was shameless." ”

"The second miss was very angry, and raised her foot to kick the third miss, but she stepped on her skirt, fell down, and injured her leg."

Shen Nianzhen: "......"

"The old lady interrogated in front of the second lady, and the second lady's face couldn't hang up at that time, and kept apologizing to the third lady and the third lady, and finally, the old lady ordered them to go back to their yard to think about it behind closed doors and never go out again."

"They're not going to be honest." Shen Nianzhen replied.

Picturesque said: "Whatever, as long as you don't come out to provoke the old lady, and the young lady, you, it's fine." ”

"I heard that the third aunt stayed in the West Courtyard for a long time yesterday before going back?" Shen Nianzhen suddenly asked.

"Seems like so."

Shen Nianzhen nodded and didn't ask any further.

In the afternoon, she was sitting on the kang table in the east wing, and the begonia flowers picked back from the picture were inserted into the vase one by one.

"Miss, His Royal Highness the Second Prince sent someone to bring you a letter."

"Letter?"

Shen Nianzhen was a little surprised, stretched out his hand to take it, and opened it in front of Mama Zhou, there was only one line on the letter: If you want gold, come to Wangjiang Tower.

"Miss, what does Your Highness mean?" Mama Zhou was a little surprised when she saw the contents of the letter.

"I don't know, maybe you want to see me." Shen Nianzhen said: "I'll ask my grandmother to see if she lets me leave the house......"

"The old lady agreed."

Mama Zhou hurriedly smiled and said: "The eldest lady has been acting steadily recently, and she has a discipline, the old lady believes that you will handle these things well, besides, you have been engaged to the Second Highness, even if you go out to see him, it is nothing, and others can't gossip." ”

Shen Nianzhen nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case, I'll change my clothes and go to say goodbye to my grandmother." ”

"The second lady has changed her clothes, so let's go straight out of the house." Mama Zhou smiled and said, "The carriage has been set up at the door." ”

Shen Nianzhen heard her say this, so he gave up.

Seeing Mama Zhou away, she was startled as soon as she turned around: "Picturesque, what are you doing here?" ”

I saw that on the couch in the room, on the kang, there were clothes everywhere, and Ruhua was still taking them out of the cabinet, and when she heard her ask, she replied without raising her head: "Miss, don't you want to see the second prince?" The slave is picking out clothes for you! ”

Picking clothes?

Shen Nianzhen's face was black.

She walked over, casually picked up a peach-colored placket embroidered with magnolia flowers, and a matching lotus-colored skirt, looked at it, and said, "That's it, this is still a new dress made this year." ”

"Miss, why aren't you nervous?" Picturesque looked at her and asked suspiciously.

"Who said that, the thought that five hundred taels of gold would arrive in my hand soon, I was very nervous." Shen Nianzhen said as he took his clothes and went into the inner room to change them.

Picturesque: "......"

Why is there only gold in the eyes of the young lady?

What about the second prince?

A quarter of an hour later, Shen Nianzhen dressed up, took Ruhua out of the house, got into a carriage and went straight to Wangjiang Tower, along the way, everywhere he went, he saw many people with a beaming face.

Shen Nian couldn't help but wonder a little, there was a happy event in Beijing recently?

She really guessed it.

"Miss, the slave maid just inquired, today the palace issued a holy decree to marry Miss Su to His Royal Highness the Third Prince, the biological mother of the Third Highness is the queen's mother, and it is very likely that she will be named the crown prince in the future, this time, the Su family will become the head of the powerful in Beijing!"

"I see."

Shen Nianzhen suddenly realized.

Raising her eyes and looking at the plaque of the Jiang Tower, she suddenly thought that Rong Chen came to see her today, wouldn't it be just for this matter?

Pity the heavens......

Shen Nianzhen thought of Rong Chen's heartbroken gaze when he saw Su Muwan, as if he saw a down-and-out prince holding a wine jug and drinking stuffy wine......

Forget it, for the sake of gold, wait for her reluctant comfort and comfort him.

Shen Nianzhen made up his mind, raised his feet and walked to the restaurant.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw a young guard with a serious face, and when he saw Shen Nianzhen and them, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Miss Shen, please come down with your subordinates." ”

"I'm tired." Shen Nianzhen nodded.

Today, the Wangjiang Tower is very lively, drinking, singing, fighting crickets, there are very many, and occasionally there are young girls like Shen Nianzhen, who are shuttling in the restaurant with a veil.

Shen Nianzhen followed behind the guard until he reached a box on the third floor.

Somehow, she suddenly hesitated.

"Miss Shen, please come in." The guard spoke.

Shen Nian really couldn't, so he had to push open the door and walk in slowly.

The door closed behind him.

"Second Highness......

The corners of Shen Nianzhen's mouth just raised a smile, and then the next moment, she stood stiffly in place, her face pale.

I saw Rong Chen standing in front of the rhombic window, holding a well-textured and solidly made crossbow arrow in his hand, squinting one eye slightly, and the direction pointed by the tip of the arrow was her chest.

Come back!

When we met for the first time that day, didn't we have enough fun?

Shen Nian's heart swelled with anger, and she forgot everything she had thought before she came in, she glared at Rong Chen coldly, and sneered: "Your Highness, what are you doing?" Do you want to kill the three princes and rush directly into the palace? What kind of ability is it to humiliate a woman here! ”

"Look for death."

When Rong Chen heard this, a huge coldness burst out of his eyes, he pursed his lips tightly, and let go of the bowstring in his hand with a swish.

Shen Nianzhen had already prepared.

The moment the arrow flew over, she abandoned all her image and threw herself on the ground, dodging the heart-piercing arrow, and the whole person was embarrassed.

With a snatch, the arrow slammed straight into the door of the box, trembling slightly.

Rong Chen looked at her, sneered, pulled the bow and stringed, and once again aimed the tip of the arrow at her.

Shen Nianzhen's face was pale, his whole body trembled slightly, but he said sharply: "Your Highness! What do you get by killing me like this, except to get you in trouble? Miss Su is already engaged to the third prince! You sober up! ”

When Rong Chen heard the third prince, his face became more and more gloomy.

The whole person looked full of anger, which was different from what Shen Nianzhen had seen before. This kind of him is the real him, right?

Shen Nian really saw it, and became more and more afraid.

She regretted it very much, how good it was to count the money at home if she had nothing to do! Why provoke this pervert?

It's too late to leave now!

Rong Chen's arrow was not shot for a long time.

He gasped for breath and stared at Shen Nianzhen with his eyes.

After a while, he suddenly lowered his arm, threw down the bow and crossbow in his hand, and sat on the ground in a decadent manner.

Shen Nianzhen breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling that he had escaped.

Rong Chen's eyes were glazed, he slowly reached out and took out a wine jug from the ground, poured a large mouthful into his mouth, and then coughed violently.

Shen Nianzhen got up from the ground, looked at him vigilantly, and ran to the door to open the door.

Unfortunately, the door was locked from the outside, and she couldn't open it at all.

Rong Chen sat on the ground, holding the flask and let out a contemptuous laugh.

Shen Nianzhen slowly turned his head and looked at him and said helplessly: "Second prince, what do you want to do when you are so crazy?" ”

"I don't know what I'm doing."

Rong Chen muttered, looked up at the roof beams, and said faintly: "An hour ago, Wan'er just left here, and she rejected the palace. ”

Shen Nianzhen didn't know what to say.

The court has already issued a decree on marriage, Su Muwan will soon marry the third prince, it is normal for her to refuse him, right?

"Hongu isn't angry about this." Rong Chen's eyes swelled with a deep unwillingness, and he suddenly threw the wine jug in his hand out: "This palace just wants her to call to see my mother, just to take a look, she refuses!" ”

Shen Nian really understood.

Concubine Qi probably knew the truth, so she wanted to see Su Muwan, but Su Muwan refused to go.

"You know what? My mother doesn't have much to live. ”

In the sound of the wine jar shattering, Rong Chen smiled miserably and said, "She just wants to take a look at Wan'er and see her ......"
