Chapter 183: Mother and Son Quarrel
Liao Fangru's eyes suddenly turned a little red when she heard this.
When she desperately went to save Mrs. Shen that day, she just relied on her enthusiasm and kindness on weekdays, and she didn't think much about it, and she didn't think about it so much, who would have thought that the unintentional act of the day would be exchanged for the salvation of today's mother!
There is really a providence in the dark!
In this way, she doesn't need to be sad and depressed by the scar on her forehead.
"It's not too early, you should go quickly." Liao Fangru looked at her and said, "Nianzhen, I'm waiting for you here." β
"I'll definitely come." Shen Nianzhen nodded, then turned around and left with the eldest lady.
When I arrived at the gate of the house, I saw the maids and ladies lighting the road in front of the house with lanterns, and a carriage was quietly parked on the steps in front of the door, Shen Yunlan was wearing an indigo silk brocade robe, standing in front of the carriage with a long jade body, and was smiling at her.
"Big brother!"
Shen Nianzhen shouted happily, then let go of the eldest lady's hand and walked over with a smile.
"Thank you Madame for sending my sister out, the night is heavy, please go back." Shen Yunlan politely saluted Mrs. Liao, and then helped Shen Nianzhen into the carriage.
But at this moment, there was a neighing of horses and the sound of horses' hooves from the other side of the long street, which seemed very long on this empty long street.
After a while, another carriage came and stopped in front of Liao's house.
The carriage curtain was lifted, and a young man with a square face and very delicate facial features came down, he hurried to Liao's house, almost not noticing Shen Nianzhen's carriage, on the steps, Mrs. Liao coughed lightly, and said indifferently: "Zhongwen is back?" Why don't you come forward to salute people when you see them? β
Liao Zhongwen stopped abruptly, followed the eldest lady's line of sight, and finally saw the Shen family's carriage.
Shen Nianzhen had already climbed into the carriage with the help of Shen Yunlan, and when he heard this, he had no choice but to open the curtain and nod at Liao Zhongwen, and said politely: "Hello Liao Sangongzi." β
The moment Liao Zhongwen saw Shen Nianzhen, his eyes instantly lit up.
He nodded a little shyly, and asked embarrassedly, "Is the county lord of Roujia coming to visit my aunt today?" It's just a misfortune that I'm back, delaying your return home. β
"It's nothing, I'll go back." Shen Nianzhen smiled slightly, then nodded at the eldest lady and lowered the curtain.
The carriage moved slowly, gradually picking up speed, and in a moment disappeared into the long street.
Liao Zhongwen was still standing on the steps, watching Shen Nianzhen's carriage leave with a faint gaze, not knowing what he was thinking.
When Mrs. Liao saw him like this, what else did she not understand in her heart? At the moment, he sighed faintly, and sneered: "Zhongwen, this person, you still have to accept your fate, the people who shouldn't be thought about by you, and the things, you can't even have thoughts!" Don't hurt yourself when the time comes, and cause others to suffer! β
"I don't understand what my aunt is talking about." Liao Zhongwen immediately turned his head, looked at Mrs. Liao with a calm face, and said in an indifferent tone: "Miss Shen is a noble person of our Liao family, and she is also the fiancΓ©e of His Royal Highness the Second Prince. β
As he spoke, he nodded slightly at Mrs. Liao, turned around and entered the door.
Mrs. Liao is angry enough!
Her son, the eldest man of the Liao family, got married a few years ago, but he was out of office and rarely came back, and in the early years, he said that if he talked about the beauty of the Beijing lady, it should belong to Shen Nianzhen, the eldest lady of the Shen family, even if it was Miss Su Muwan of Su Taishi's Mansion, it was slightly inferior to her.
Liao Dalang also said that when marrying a wife, you should marry Shen Nianzhen.
Of course, it was all a joke, Liao Dalang was just joking, in fact, his age was more than ten years different from Shen Nianzhen, and the two had never met at all.
Liao Dalang wouldn't fight Shen Nianzhen's idea at all.
However, those words were really said by Liao Dalang himself, Mrs. Liao had said it several times in front of her family as a joke, and when she wanted to refute it, she was speechless.
The resentment in the face of the second room in my heart is a little more. He spat at Liao Zhongwen's back as he left: "Daddy, mother, and sister are all mud pits, I want to see how long you, the golden phoenix that comes out of the mud and are not stained, can clear the stream!" β
Liao Zhongwen is talented, he participated in the scientific examination last year and won the Tongsheng examination, and he will also participate in the autumn this year, his teacher once said that Liao Zhongwen is the top talent.
Mrs. Liao is convinced of this and is very proud of it.
Mrs. Liao said this, but she was really angry.
β¦β¦
Shen Nianzhen didn't take it to heart when he encountered Liao Zhongwen.
After going back, she roughly told Mrs. Shen about Liao Fangru's condition, in order to avoid the old lady being too worried, she said that the wound was not so serious, and promised: "Grandmother, you can rest assured, when the wedding comes, I will definitely find a way to make Aunt Fangru's scar not visible to anyone!" No one can laugh at her, the housewife of the Shen family! β
"I'm not worried about this, I'm just worried about His Second Highness." Old Mrs. Shen held Shen Nianzhen's hand, affectionately asked her to sit beside her, and said worriedly: "Nianzhen, you have a relationship with your grandmother, can His Royal Highness the Second Prince's leg really be cured?" Won't it leave the root of the disease? β
"Of course not!"
Shen Nianzhen laughed when he heard this: "Grandmother, when did I lie to you?" Relax! β
"It's not like I don't believe you." Old Lady Shen smiled helplessly when she heard this, touched her sideburns, and said softly: "Grandmother is just worried about you, you will resist everything by yourself, and refuse to say it, Your Royal Highness the Second Prince is probably too arrogant and domineering on weekdays, so she got into trouble!" β
This can't be blamed on Mrs. Shen.
The emperor suppressed the matter, and the world did not know that Rong Chen's leg injury was caused by the eldest prince.
They all thought that Rong Chen was to blame.
Shen Nianzhen's heart sank when she heard this, and she felt unspeakably uncomfortable, but in front of her grandmother, she didn't reveal anything.
only said lightly: "Grandmother, I'll be honest with you, His Second Highness's leg injury, with the presence of Doctor Ge, can be cured, on the other hand, no matter whether he can be cured or not, my granddaughter and I will never abandon him, even if he is really lame, I will marry him, you don't have to doubt this." β
"Even if the Second Highness really can't stand up, you still have to marry her?" Old Madam Shen was taken aback when she heard this.
"yes." Shen Nianzhen nodded seriously when he heard this, and said: "As the saying goes, one woman does not serve the second husband, is my marriage contract with the second highness true, or is it your majesty's marriage!" Of course, I can't go back. β
Mrs. Shen: "......"
She sighed slightly and said, "Okay, I hope that His Second Highness's leg injury can be healed and there will be no sequelae." β
In this way, her favorite granddaughter will not have to marry and suffer.
This was the end of the conversation, and Mrs. Shen couldn't bear to ask her granddaughter anything more.
β¦β¦
Half a month has passed in a blink of an eye.
At this time, the emperor finally sent someone to move Rong Chen out of the small courtyard of Doctor Ge and get him to the second prince's mansion to recuperate.
On the day Rong Chen went back, Concubine Qi moved the crowd and brought a large number of palace people to the palace to visit her son.
Many people were talking there: "This Concubine Qi has been bored in the palace for most of her life, but I didn't expect that at this age, she could regain His Majesty's favor!" You see, this lively battle is all the grace of His Majesty......"
"That's it! It is rumored in the palace that His Majesty has been resting in Concubine Qi's palace for ten consecutive days! Envy a lot of concubines! β
The sound of discussion came into the ears of Rong Chen, who was lying in the chariot with his eyes closed, he opened his eyes suddenly, frowned tightly, and said, "What kind of nonsense are they talking about?" My mother, she really ...... Got back in favor? β
His tone was a little complicated.
Beiyang, who was waiting next to the carriage, immediately spoke: "Back to His Royal Highness, this may be true, Concubine Qi doesn't know how, she suddenly won the favor of His Majesty, and it is said that she is now favored every day!" Even the most favored nobles can only take shelter from the wind for a while......"
"I'm afraid not necessarily." When Rong Chen heard this, the corners of his mouth suddenly showed a sneer, and he said in a faint voice: "My father's personality is very clear in this palace, he only likes young and beautiful women, as for my mother's concubine, I'm afraid he hasn't come to appreciate it yet...... You go and ask someone to check and see what the hell is going on, don't be calculated. β
"Yes, Your Highness." Beiyang immediately agreed with a smile, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness blames Niangniang, but in fact, he still cares about her very much, if this is known to Niangniang, maybe how happy he will be." β
Concubine Qi would be happy to know that he doubted her?
Rong Chen hooked the corners of his mouth indifferently, and did not report any hope.
He recuperated in Ge Shen's house for half a month, and in this half a month, Concubine Qi never came to visit him again, but tried her best to compete with the teenage girl for the emperor's favor in the palace.
Rong Chen originally thought that he and Concubine Qi had been dependent on each other for so many years, but after this incident, he suddenly doubted it.
If one day, his legs are really crippled, who will be the one who can always be by his side?
It should be only Shen Nianzhen, right?
Thinking of Shen Nianzhen, a smile suddenly appeared at the corners of Rong Chen's eyes and eyebrows.
But at this moment, the chariot stopped, and Dongchen said outside: "Your Highness, the palace has arrived." β
All of Rong Chen's beautiful imagination came to an abrupt halt in an instant, he turned his head a little unhappily and glared at Dongchen, and said lazily: "Then what are you waiting for, carry the palace and get off the car." β
"Yes, Your Highness."
After some twists and turns, Rong Chen finally returned to the Qiuwu Courtyard he was most familiar with, but the moment he entered the door, he saw a beautiful woman in a bright red embroidered peony palace dress standing in the lobby standing quietly waiting for him.
At first glance, Rong Chen thought it was Queen Chen, but as soon as the woman turned around, Rong Chen recognized it at once, this is Concubine Qi!
It was his mother.
But it's only been a few days! Concubine Qi was like a different person.
Rong Chen looked at her in a daze, and couldn't squeeze out a word to greet his mother for a while.
Just then, he heard a chuckle.
Laughter came from the side.
Rong Chen immediately turned his head and looked at the person who was laughing, and as a result, he saw a pair of beautiful blue eyes.
The owner of this eye smiled at him and said softly: "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, I haven't seen you for a long time!" β
The Jingxue who brought him countless nightmares, she is here! Here she is again!
Rong Chen's heart instantly erupted with rage, he looked at Jingxue coldly, and ordered: "Come on!" Take this enchantress down to this palace! Hack to death with a knife! β
As soon as the words fell, Dongchen Nanfeng and a few others with good skills immediately pulled out the saber on their waists and surrounded Jingxue Qi with a brush.
"Stop!" Concubine Qi glared at Rong Chen, scolded a few guards, and said angrily: "I haven't seen you for half a month, you didn't have a good word, but you are still shouting and shouting here to kill, that's how you treat your mother?" β
"Mother, she's a witch."
Rong Chen looked at Concubine Qi and felt powerless: "She also poisoned her and almost killed her son, why do you want to protect her?" β
"Who said Jingxue hurt you? Didn't she come up with an antidote to cure you! Concubine Qi snorted coldly: "Chen'er, you can't be a man with a conscience!" β
"I have no conscience?" Rong Chen sat in a wheelchair, stretched out a finger in disbelief, pointed at himself and said: "My life was saved by Nian Zhen, who risked his life to pick the violet grass from Mochizuki Mountain!" It has nothing to do with this witch! β
"Don't mention your thoughts!" Concubine Qi snorted disdainfully when she heard this, and said condescendingly: "You say she is good every time, but what is the matter with your leg injury?" Isn't that her fault? Chen'er! If you don't wake up again, one day! You're going to be killed by her! β
When Rong Chen heard this, he suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness for Niu playing the piano.
Suddenly his heart died.
How could he expect Concubine Qi to wake up? How could she be expected to come out of the most right thoughts with Shen Nianzhen? His mother has always been stubborn, and the stubborn nine cows can't pull it back.
"Mother, go back." He said softly, exhausted.
Concubine Qi was a little annoyed when she heard this, flicked her beautiful sleeves, and said angrily: "This palace came to visit you with good intentions, but you actually drove me away?" Then call that fox son Shen Nianzhen to take care of you? With her, can your injuries be healed? β
"Mother, there is a limit to my patience." Rong Chen clenched his fists tightly, suppressed his anger, glanced at Jingxue with a calm gaze, and said word by word: "You can stay if you want, kill Jingxue with your own hands!" β
"That can't be!" Concubine Qi flatly refused.
Then he touched his gorgeous dazzling collar with his hand, and he couldn't put it down.
"Then you can go back." Rong Chen took a deep breath and said lightly: "Otherwise, Erchen really doesn't mind, ask all the people in this mansion to kill Jingxue in front of you." β
When Concubine Qi heard this, her eyes changed again and again.
She stared at her son, there was a trace of hurt in her eyes, and a trace of anger, and then, she turned her head, glanced at Jingxue, brushed her sleeves and turned to walk out: "Go!" Back to the palace! β
"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, Concubine Qi's health is very bad, you have angered her, but you are not filial."
Jingxue smiled lightly in front of Rong Chen, tilted her head and threw a wink, turned around and followed Concubine Qi away.
Rong Chen looked at her back, angry and angry.
But there is also some helplessness.
"Your Highness, you asked your subordinates to inquire about the news, and your subordinates have heard about it." At this time, Beiyang walked in from outside and reported: "Concubine Qi Niangniang met His Majesty in the imperial garden ten days ago, because she danced a stunning dance on the spot for Your Majesty, so she regained His Majesty's love, and she has always been favored these days. β
It's as simple as that?
"Yes, it's as simple as that." Beiyang replied.
When Rong Chen heard this, he immediately fell into deep contemplation.
After a long time, he raised his head, looked at Dongchen, and asked, "What was the scene in the Imperial Garden that day?" Did the concubine dance alone in front of His Majesty? β
"No, there's Jingxue."
When Rong Chen heard this, he suddenly realized: "It turns out that the return of the concubine's favor is such a thing. β
"Your Highness, what the hell is going on?" Dongchen said stunned on the side: "My subordinates didn't understand anything. β
"Of course you don't understand that you're so stupid." Rong Chen glanced at him, and then looked at Dongyang: "Do you understand?" β
"Your Highness, my subordinates have vaguely guessed something." Dongyang smiled bitterly when he heard this: "On the surface, Concubine Qi has regained her favor and has been loved by His Majesty, but in fact, the person Your Majesty really likes is Jingxue, and it is for her that she has been going to Langhuan Palace for a long time, Your Highness, do your subordinates understand?" β
"Not bad! Exactly. Rong Chen nodded.
"That's how it is! Does Concubine Qi know herself? If she knew, she would be angry, right? This is a wolf into the house! β
Dongchen said with a lot of emotion.
"The mother concubine may not know the truth, but she wants to regain her favor so much that even if she knows, she will pretend not to know."
Rong Chen said, feeling a little helpless: "Right now, she can't do without Jingxue, this woman is really a headache, and I don't know what the purpose of her sneaking into the palace is!" β
"Your Highness, don't worry, your subordinates will continue to keep an eye on Jingxue! I will never ask her to be bad in the palace! "Beiyang Road.
Rong Chen nodded when he heard this, then reached out and stroked his forehead, and said: "Recently, the envoys of the Gulan Kingdom are about to arrive, and my father originally ordered me to come to entertain me, but now that my legs are crippled, he handed over this matter to the third brother, and the two of you are secretly looking for an opportunity to inquire among the envoys of the Gulan Kingdom, and see if this Jingxue has anything to do with the Gulan." β
"Yes, Your Highness." Dongyang Beichen hurriedly agreed.
Rong Chen felt a little tired, so he asked someone to push him into the bedroom.
"By the way, does Liao Zhongwen still have a chance to meet Nianzhen?" At this time, Rong Chen suddenly asked again.
