Old Mrs. Shen looked at her naughty appearance, she really couldn't bear to criticize anything, and carefully admonished: "If something happens in the future, don't hide it anymore." ”

"Yes, my granddaughter knows." Shen Nianzhen hurriedly apologized.

Mrs. Shen let her go, stretched out her hand to rub her white jade-like skin, sighed slightly and said: "When you are an old man, what you are most afraid of is that something happens to the younger generation, and at this time, the old lady of the Liao family is probably the most uncomfortable." ”

……

Liao family.

Liao Shulan, who was tied up with five flowers, was pushed into the main hall, and without the pressure of her mother-in-law, she obediently knelt down in front of the Luohan bed with pear blossom wood carving Baizi Futu, and looked at Mrs. Liao with teary eyes.

Old Mrs. Liao learned about what happened outside the gate of the Shen family through the people in the house a quarter of an hour ago, and was half angry by Liao Shulan's bold behavior. People are also loosened! I want to ask, who gave her the courage to go to the Shen family and dare to make trouble in front of His Second Highness! Is this what you want the entire Liao family to bury her! ”

"Yes, old lady."

At that moment, a mother-in-law stepped forward and took out the handkerchief that blocked Liao Shulan's mouth and untied the rope on her body.

"Grandmother! The granddaughter is wronged! As soon as she was able to speak, Liao Shulan immediately begged for mercy regardless of it: "It's Shen Nianzhen!" She calculates me! She calculates our Liao family! ”

Liao Kanglan, who was standing on the side, couldn't bear it any longer, and suddenly stepped forward, snapped her in the mouth, and scolded angrily: "You are talking nonsense!" In the backyard of the Shen family, you spoke ill of Sister Shen in every possible way, and she didn't care about you for the sake of the good face of our two families, and as soon as you saw the second prince, she rushed over to seduce regardless of it! Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Second Prince didn't like you as a cheap embryo, so he didn't let your treacherous plan succeed! You still have the face to turn right and wrong in front of your grandmother! ”

"Sister! With your grandmother here, what are you angry about! Liao Yulan on the side immediately stepped forward to take her sister-in-law's hand, looked at her reproachfully, turned around and looked at Mrs. Liao with a calm face: "Grandmother, although the sixth sister hit someone impulsively, what she said was true, there was no lie, and I hope that grandmother will see what she hears." ”

After speaking, he pulled the reluctant Liao Kanglan and knelt down: "The granddaughter failed to stop the eighth sister from making mistakes, and she is also responsible, please ask her grandmother to punish her." ”

On the side, Liao Shulan is already mad, the fourth room of the Liao family has always been very favored by the old lady in the Liao family, as the daughter of the fourth room, Liao Shulan has been living smoothly in the first ten years of her life, and she has never been so humiliated, let alone slapped in the face?

She threw away the mother-in-law who controlled her, and rushed forward to beat Liao Kanglan regardless of it, but before her palm touched anyone, the old lady Liao's angry shout suddenly sounded in the room: "Stop it!" ”

Liao Shulan was startled and involuntarily stopped moving.

Old Lady Liao's eyes burned with anger, and she stretched out her hand and pointed at her and said, "Tie her up for me!" ”

"Grandmother! You can't do this to me! Liao Shulan's scream sounded in the room, full of deep unwillingness: "It was the sixth sister who hit me first!" Grandmother, you're too eccentric! ”

"Yes, I am indeed too partial, old woman." Old lady Liao nodded seriously when she heard this.

This time, not only Liao Shulan, but even Liao Yulan's sisters also showed a look of surprise, Liao Kanglan opened her mouth and wanted to speak, but was glared at by Liao Yulan fiercely.

She shut her mouth in a huff.

At this time, Mrs. Liao slowly spoke: "Shulan, I love you too much on weekdays, too favoritism, resulting in your lawlessness, what you want, unscrupulous means have to get, once you lose, it is like crazy as a demon, you have today, grandmother and I have half of the responsibility." ”

"Grandmother......" Liao Shulan's eyes flashed with tears, and she swallowed: "I'm just unwilling......"

"Of course you are not willing to marry Zhao Ziqi, to be honest, grandmother doesn't look down on him."

Old Lady Liao looked at her with a kind of pity and said, "But now, it's not the Liao family that forces you to marry him, but the second prince, do you understand?" It was the second prince who forced us to marry you to him! Otherwise, you will be sent to the yamen, once you are found out about framing Shen Nianzhen with Princess Zhaohua in Wangjiang Tower, you will be dead, do you understand? If you don't talk about others, it is impossible for the queen mother and Princess Zhaohua to let you go! They're going to put all the blame on you! ”

When Liao Shulan heard this, her heart sank uncontrollably.

If there was still a glimmer of hope in her heart before, then now, this glimmer of hope has been ruthlessly broken by Mrs. Liao.

Yes, once the matter involves Princess Zhaohua, the queen will not let her go first!

"Marry Zhao Ziqi and be the young lady of the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, or die, enter the family temple, you choose one yourself." Old Mrs. Liao said with a tired face: "The Liao family has done its best to you. ”

With that, she leaned back on the pillow and narrowed her eyes slightly.

Liao Yulan got up with her skirt, walked over and poured a cup of hot tea herself, handed it over, and whispered, "Grandmother, drink tea." ”

Old Mrs. Liao opened her eyes and looked at her kindly, took a sip of tea, and sighed: "When such a big thing happens, the relationship between our family and the Shen family can still continue, thanks to you and Kanglan." ”

"Grandmother, that's what a granddaughter should do." Liao Yulan lowered her head when she heard this, and said ashamedly: "We tried everything to persuade her, and we originally thought that the eighth sister was sincerely repentant, so we took her to Liao's house, clinker...... It's what we're doing wrong. ”

"It's not your fault, you went to Liao's house, my wife nodded too much." Mrs. Liao put down the teacup and reached out to pat her on the shoulder, with a loving face.

Liao Kanglan also got up from the ground, leaned over with a smile and said, "Grandmother, Sister Shen said that in a few days, she will come to the door to play with our sisters in person!" ”

Old Mrs. Liao raised her eyelids and glanced at her, knowing in her heart that if it weren't for Liao Kanglan, who had no heart, I am afraid that the Shen family might not be able to put this matter down gently, and said with a smile at the moment: "Okay, then we have to entertain well." ”

The three ancestors and grandchildren said a word, and I said a word, and no one looked at Liao Shulan who was kneeling there again, and completely ignored her.

Liao Shulan understands that from now on, her status in the Liao family will plummet, and no one will hold her anymore, just like today.

She gritted her teeth, her dark eyes shining with resentment.

And, thick unwillingness.

She's not going to throw in the towel!

In the end, Mrs. Liao didn't know what happened to Liao Shulan, but only considered that Shen Nianzhen would come to the Shen family in a few days, in order to prevent Liao Shulan from doing anything out of the ordinary again, and cut off the last relationship between them and the Shen family, so in the afternoon of the same day, she sent a carriage and arranged a few strong mothers-in-law to escort Liao Shulan out of the house all the way, and directly sent her to Zhuangzi outside the city.

The strange thing is that Liao Shulan seems to have known this result for a long time, and unlike the previous crying, this time, she seemed very calm.

Say goodbye to the Liao family calmly, get in the car and leave calmly, without crying or making trouble.

After watching her carriage go out of the city gate, Nanfeng, who had been staring at the movements of the Liao family, went back to report to Rong Chen.

"Finally, this time the Liao family did one thing right."

Rong Chen hooked the corners of his mouth, a trace of mockery shone in his long narrow phoenix eyes, put down the teacup in his hand, glanced out through the window, and asked in a deep voice: "Can you find out Zhaohua's whereabouts?" ”

"I heard." Nanfeng replied: "Because the queen mother was grounded, Princess Zhaohua quietly threw off most of the entourage guards, and only brought a personal maid Cui'er, and entered a street teahouse not far from the Shen family. ”

"It seems that she hasn't given up on Shen Yunlan yet."

Rong Chen smiled sarcastically and said: "The younger sister of the calculating family, I still expect Shen Yunlan to love her sincerely, I have to say that the brain of the ninth sister in this palace has been kicked by a donkey!" ”

Isn't it true that the south wind heart said?

"I always feel that behind her behavior, there is a possibility of being picked up." Rong Chen frowned and said, "In the future, you will send more people, and you must find out who she interacts with on weekdays." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." South Wind nodded.

……

Yunyi Teahouse.

Zhaohua waited anxiously and nervously, and from time to time sent his personal slave Xiaoxi out to inquire about the news, but he was disappointed every time.

Shen Yunlan never came back.

"Could it be that he won't go home?" Princess Zhaohua said to herself, the two good-looking willow eyebrows frowned, and the delicate red lips were deformed by the bitten teeth, she ignored the respect of the princess, got up and stood in front of the window by the street, stretched her neck and looked out: "It's all here, if you don't come back, it's going to be dark......"

"Princess, Xiao Shen is an official in the court, and he is a man, so it is normal to come back late." Xiao Xi replied: "But we can't wait any longer, otherwise the palace gate will be keyed!" When the time comes, the queen will ......"

"Shut up!" Zhaohua interrupted her impatiently, frowned, and said, "What do you know! The Shen family has already begun to plan for the marriage of the little Shen commander, if this princess does not seize this opportunity, when the ban is lifted, he will marry someone else! How can that be! ”

Xiao Xi's heart is not so fast, right?

But she didn't dare to say this in front of the irascible Princess Zhaohua, so she could only wait quietly with her.

After returning to the palace, the princess was fine, and her personal slave and maid were ...... Xiao Xi sighed silently.

But at this moment, Princess Zhaohua suddenly became excited, looked out the window and said, "He's here!" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Xi hurriedly turned her head to look out the window, and sure enough, she saw that under the rows of lanterns on the street not far away, Shen Yunlan walked over slowly, followed by two young men with clear eyebrows.

Princess Zhaohua's eyes were firmly fixed on Shen Yunlan, and she didn't look at others at all, her eyes fell on his dark eyes, as well as the curvature of her beautiful chin, and her tightly pursed beautiful lips, only to feel that her heart was about to jump out of her chest with excitement.

"Xiao Xi, what should I do, I'm so nervous...... Princess Zhaohua grabbed Xiao Xi's hand tightly and said in a low voice: "Should I go down and stop him personally?" ”

"Princess, calm down." Xiao Xi said helplessly: "You are the princess, how can you surrender your identity and go downstairs to see Xiao Shen in person?" Our people downstairs have all been arranged, as long as you give an order, they will immediately bring Commander Xiao Shen up. ”

"Really...... Really? ”

Princess Zhaohua hesitated and said, "In case he doesn't come......"

In her heart, Shen Yunlan is the handsome son who is high up, none of these ordinary people in Shangjing can be compared with him, such a romantic person, naturally will not succumb to the ordinary palace guards, only she, Princess Zhaohua personally went down to greet him, and he could go upstairs to meet her.

"Princess, if you don't open your mouth again, Commander Xiao Shen will leave." Xiao Xi spoke slowly.

"What? He's leaving? Princess Zhaohua immediately became nervous, and looked downstairs, isn't it, Shen Yunlan and his party are walking fast, and they are about to cross this street and go back to Shen's house.

Can't wait any longer.

Princess Zhaohua took a deep breath and immediately turned her head to look at Xiao Xi: "Pass the order, let them bring Xiao Shen Commander up." ”

In the last quarter of an hour, she still chose to listen to Xiaoxi.

"Yes, princess!" Xiao Xi immediately responded, and then snapped her fingers downstairs.

The sound was not loud, but soon, more than a dozen guards were dispatched, quickly catching up with Shen Yunlan and his party, who were already about to go away, and surrounded him.

Princess Zhaohua was standing in the box, a little far away from there, and she couldn't hear what they were talking about, but she saw Shen Yunlan standing on the long street with his hands behind his back, without the slightest intention of going upstairs.

Even if he was surrounded by a group of palace people, he was still dazzling and scorching.

Princess Zhaohua watched stupidly, until Shen Yunlan pushed away those palace guards with an impatient face, and turned her head to leave.

She just woke up like a dream, went downstairs with her skirt, ran over quickly, and shouted at Shen Yunlan's back: "You stop me!" ”

Shen Yunlan stopped abruptly and turned back slowly.

"Yunlan." Princess Zhaohua panted and walked up to him and stood still, looked at him angrily and said, "Is it so difficult for this princess to see you?" ”

"Princess." Shen Yunlan was expressionless, and said in a cold voice: "Weichen doesn't think we have the need to meet, what we should say, Weichen has already said it very clearly, it's getting late, the palace gate is about to be keyed, and I also ask the princess to go back early, so as not to be unable to enter the palace gate and be scolded by the queen." ”

"Shen Yunlan!" Princess Zhaohua scolded angrily: "Don't you have any other feelings for me? I don't believe it! ”

"Princess." Shen Yunlan's face was full of helplessness: "What do you want?" ”

"I heard that your family is going to kiss you." Princess Zhaohua looked at him and said, "I want you to refuse them and go to Your Majesty to ask to marry me!" ”

Don't promise to marry others, marry me......

Aren't the girls' families ashamed to avoid this kind of thing? Why is Princess Zhaohua so strong? To make such a request directly to a man in him?

Shen Yunlan's face was full of black lines, he didn't like this kind of girl with a flamboyant personality and arrogant and domineering, but liked the opposite, a woman with a gentle temperament and a generous temperament, he had already made it very clear to Princess Zhaohua!

"Princess, it's impossible between you and me." Shen Yunlan said with a serious face: "The Shen family's family background is not qualified to be a princess ......."

"I don't care!" Princess Zhaohua looked at him sadly and said, "Yunlan, why do you want to give up on me without any effort?" Do you know how many stupid things I've done for you......"

"You like me, so you secretly target my sister and conspire with others to try to ruin her reputation?" As soon as he mentioned this, Shen Yunlan's expression immediately changed, and he said coldly: "Princess Zhaohua, your love is too terrible!" ”

"I ...... I ......"

Princess Zhaohua's face turned pale when she heard this, and her lips squirmed, but she didn't know how to explain it to him.

Su Muwan told him that the emperor would not agree to the Shen family marrying a daughter into the royal family and a princess, so he would have to agree to only one of them. There are so many princes and ministers in the court, it is impossible for a good thing to be close to the Shen family, if Shen Nianzhen really marries the second prince, then she will not be able to marry Shen Yunlan in her life, the queen mother will not agree, and His Majesty will not agree.

For the love of her heart, Zhaohua thought about it, only by breaking the marriage contract between Shen Nianzhen and the second prince could she marry Shen Yunlan.

"Yunlan, listen to me......"

Zhaohua said cowardly: "What happened that day was just a misunderstanding, I have never hurt your sister......"

Shen Yunlan looked at her with a clear gaze, and said mockingly: "What is the truth, there is a public opinion, the princess doesn't have to explain anything, our Shen family can't treat you like this, we just ask you to stay away from my sister in the future." ”

With that, he turned and left.

Princess Zhaohua was anxious and shouted loudly: "You stop!" ”

Shen Yunlan turned a deaf ear, and his steps were faster.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Princess Zhaohua was anxious, for tonight, in order to see Shen Yunlan, she deceived the queen and sneaked out of the palace, I don't know how much punishment she will receive after going back! How could he just leave?

In a hurry, she suddenly rushed out with her skirt and hugged Shen Yunlan from behind!

Shen Yunlan's body suddenly stiffened, and he was involuntarily stunned on the spot.

"Yunlan, stop me!" Princess Zhaohua hugged him tightly and said with tears streaming down her face: "I don't believe that you don't love me at all, you do this to discourage me, right?" ”

The girl's soft body clinged to him, bringing a touch that had never been felt before.

Smelling the faint fragrance emanating from Princess Zhaohua's body, and listening to her crying voice, Shen Yunlan had a momentary palpitation, but when he thought of what Princess Zhaohua did to Shen Nianzhen in Wangjiang Tower, all his charming thoughts were gone.

There was only a cold feeling left in my heart.

"Princess! Please respect yourself! Shen Yunlan gritted his teeth and pushed her away, took a few steps back, and said indifferently: "Don't do this kind of self-surrendering thing again!" ”
