Chapter 219: Go see Su Yunmu
"What does this have to do with the Shen family?" Shen Nianzhen suddenly interrupted him coldly.
Rong Chen couldn't help but be stunned, from Shen Nianzhen's expressionless expression, he suddenly understood that he shouldn't continue to talk about it, Su Yunmu is now a bomb in the Shen family that can't be mentioned, and everyone talks about it.
"Okay, I'll say one last word." Rong Chen shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "How much Su Yunmu actually paid in order to resist the marriage contract in the family is unimaginable to you, he is sincere to your fourth sister, and even the palace can't help but be moved." ”
"No matter how good Su Yunmu is, he has such an elder, it is absolutely impossible for my fourth sister to marry into the Su family." Shen Nianzhen said indifferently when he heard this: "It's impossible to be a concubine, so if you have the opportunity, you should persuade him to open some." ”
Rong Chen nodded when he heard this, and didn't say anything more.
……
At night, Shen Nianzhen couldn't fall asleep on the bed by himself, and he always recalled what Rong Chen said: Su Yunmu paid more than you can imagine in order to be able to resist the marriage contract.
Could it be that those gossips in Shangjing were released by Su Yunmu himself? Impossible, right? Where in the world is there a man who ruins his own reputation? Su Yunmu shouldn't be so stupid, right?
Shen Nianzhen was a little unconvinced.
But combined with what Rong Chen said, these assumptions are very likely to be true, in order to resist the pressure in the family, Su Yunmu wanted to make the Qi State Mansion take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage contract, so he could only make this decision.
It's really embarrassing for Su Yunmu, it is impossible for ordinary men to destroy their innocent reputation, just to get rid of the marriage contract.
If this is true, then find a way to meet him tomorrow and figure out what this thing really is. Thinking like this, Shen Nianzhen put his mind at ease.
Outside the house, she has to worry about big and small things, she is the tired life.
Before closing his eyes, Shen Nianzhen laughed self-deprecatingly.
Nothing was said all night.
The next morning, Shen Nianzhen came to Chunhui Courtyard, accompanied Mrs. Shen and Liao Fangru to have breakfast together, Mrs. Shen thanked Liao Fangru for saving her at the beginning, since she got married, she has never been sad, let alone asked her to set up rules, Liao Fangru has accompanied Mrs. Shen to the table to eat since the first day after getting married, Shen Chong is the first day to accompany it, and then go to the court before dawn every day, rarely at home.
Liao Fangru gradually adapted to the life of the Shen family, and was even more comfortable than when she stayed in her parents' house.
It seems that I chose the right in-law's family, with a considerate in-law and stepchildren, and the days after marriage are still very good. Liao Fangru is very satisfied with her current life.
The family sat at the table talking and laughing, and Liao Fangru said: "Mother, I want to go back to my mother's house today, and my mother wrote a letter, saying that there is a cousin in the family who married to Jiangnan and has returned to Beijing, and wants to get together, please ask my mother for permission." ”
"What is there to ask for advice here, go back when you should go back." Old Mrs. Shen smiled when she heard this: "However, after all, it is different from before now, remember to bring gifts when you go, but you must not lose your courtesy." ”
"Good mother, I see." Liao Fangru agreed with a smile.
Old Mrs. Shen nodded with satisfaction, and Shen Nianzhen suddenly said on the side: "Auntie, I'll go with you today, just go out for a walk by the way, I've been staying at home for the past few days, I'm a little bored, and I miss the snacks of Osmanthus Zhai." ”
"If you're greedy, you say you're greedy, and you still find such a reason." Old Mrs. Shen chuckled in her heart when she heard this, but when she saw Shen Nianzhen's greedy pastries, she breathed a sigh of relief again, and said with a smile at the moment: "In such a hot weather, just ask the maid to buy it, why do you have to run." ”
This is not agreeing with Shen Nianzhen to go.
Shen Nianzhen was not surprised at all, it was strange that such a big thing happened to her in the Liao family, and Mrs. Shen could agree to her going.
"Good grandmother, if I don't go, I'll send my aunt out, and then go buy some pastries and come back, how about it?" She held Old Lady Shen's arm and said coquettishly.
"Okay, okay." Mrs. Shen looked helpless, but finally agreed.
Who is Shen Nian's really her favorite granddaughter?
"Thank you, Grandmother!" Shen Nianzhen was immediately happy, and at the moment he was excited to pull Liao Fangru to change clothes and wash, and wait to go out.
"Then, Mother, we'll step back first." After Liao Fangru stood up, she saluted Mrs. Shen, and then took Shen Nianzhen out, and then the two of them went to change out of the clothes outside the door, and gathered at the second gate half an hour later.
"Miss, why are you going out today? He also lied to the old lady that you buy pastries. While helping Shen Nianzhen choose new clothes, Ruhua asked curiously, "You won't take me with you this time, right?" ”
"Of course you want to go." When Shen Nianzhen heard this, she took away the light green embroidered spring flower skirt in her hand, and said with a smile: "This one is very suitable." As he spoke, he put it on his waist and compared it.
"Really? That's great! "Picturesque's eyes lit up.
Shen Nianzhen looked at it, and couldn't help feeling guilty in her heart, it seems that she often goes out by herself on weekdays without a picture, this little girl is lonely, she must take a picture out more in the future.
The master and servant changed their clothes and went out, and when they arrived at the second gate, Liao Fangru had not yet arrived.
However, one of Liao Fangru's marrying maids, Cuizhu, was guarding over there, and when she saw her coming, she immediately smiled and said: "Miss, I'm sorry, Madame has already come, but just now the old lady called her over again, I don't know what the reason is, please wait a while, it should be here soon." ”
Grandmother called Liao Fangru over? What's with?
Shen Nianzhen's face was full of curiosity when she heard this, but she didn't ask anything, nodded to Cuizhu with a smile, and stood there waiting.
At this time, two people passing by didn't seem to see the people here, and they lowered their heads and talked as they walked: "Have you heard?" That Second Prince Su of the Taishi Mansion is not normal! I heard that the Duke of Qi has divorced their family......"
"Abnormal? What kind of abnormal law is it? The other guy asked suspiciously.
"Oh, it's ......" The other guy saw that he didn't understand for a long time, so he couldn't help but lean over and whispered a few words in his ear.
This little guy suddenly realized: "It turns out that Su Ergongzi is a broken sleeve!" ”
"Shhhh Be quiet! Don't be heard! You don't want to die! The other boy hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth, and then sneakily pulled him aside and walked aside.
I didn't expect this rumor to spread so quickly, and even the people in their mansion began to talk about it? It seems that this matter has reached the point where everyone in Shangjing knows about it.
Shen Nian was really thoughtful.
It didn't take long for Liao Fangru to come out, and when she saw Shen Nianzhen, her eyes were red.
Shen Nianzhen couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly asked her what was wrong, but Old Lady Shen scolded her.
"No, Nian Zhen, don't think about it." Liao Fangru hurriedly explained: No matter what happened to her mother, it was the Liao family and the second aunt...... She got into a fight with her second uncle and was beaten to bedridden......"
It turned out that Liao Fangru had such a big thing before she got married and that day, and finally alarmed the emperor and made trouble in front of the emperor, although the emperor did not call Mrs. Liao to enter the palace of nourishing heart to testify on the last day, but afterwards it was beaten by the Liao family, the second uncle Liao has been seeking a vacancy in the Ministry of Rites recently, and the gift has also been given, and all kinds of relationships have been operating for a long time, seeing that things are about to succeed, but this kind of thing happened, the cooked duck flew away, and the fat shortage in the mouth became someone else's, and the second master Liao was furious, immediately went home and reasoned with the second lady Liao, and beat each other up without saying a word.
Second Master Liao was furious and kicked off two ribs of Second Lady Liao, and Second Lady Liao was dying and struggling when she was kicked, leaving deep scratches on Second Master Liao's face, neck, and arms, all of which were bloody, and the scars were not shallow.
In this way, not only does Second Mrs. Liao have a scar on her face, but now Second Master Liao is too, and the husband and wife have become the laughing stock of all Shangjing people side by side.
This is all secondary, the most important thing is that Second Master Liao beat extremely hard this time, Second Mrs. Liao didn't think there was anything at the time, but she couldn't get out of bed when she got up the next day.
But even so, Second Master Liao didn't care, touching the scars on his face and clamoring to divorce the second lady, and finally the old lady Liao stood up and scolded the two of them, and pressed down on the divorce of his wife, but since then, Second Master Liao has resumed the days of not being in the house every day.
When Shen Nianzhen heard such news, his heart could be described as mixed and complicated.
On the one hand, she hated Second Mrs. Liao for being insidious and vicious, and actually teamed up with Su Muwan to calculate her again and again, but on the other hand, she didn't expect Second Mrs. Liao to be beaten so badly, is this the so-called retribution for doing bad things?
However, she really can't go to the Liao family.
"Aunt Fangru, I'm ......" Shen Nianzhen opened his mouth unspeakably, and suddenly thought of this time, I don't know what Liao Yulan and Liao Kanglan sisters were thinking in their hearts.
"Nian Zhen, I understand." Liao Fangru held her hand tightly, and said apologetically: "It's my second aunt who can't stand you, it's normal for you not to want to go, and when you leave the house, I will go back to Liao's house by myself, you take the picturesque to go outside, and when the time comes, we will go back to the house together." ”
"Okay, when I get home, I'll wait for you in the teahouse closest to our house." Shen Nianzhen thought for a moment and said.
Liao Fangru agreed.
So, the two of them took a carriage and went out of the house together, and when they reached the fork in the road to Liao's house, Shen Nianzhen got off the carriage, got into another car again, and said goodbye to Liao Fangru.
After that, she drove to Wangjiang Tower.
It's too easy to find Su Yunmu, since he learned that his marriage to Shen Nianzhu was hopeless, he stayed here all day and drank all day, and he was drunk every day, and the people of the Su family didn't say anything.
Perhaps, the old lady of the Su family is planning to let Su Yunmu think it through himself, right?
What about the eldest brother of the Su family? Now that he's back, hasn't this matter turned around? Shen Nianzhen thought of the gentle and elegant eldest son of the Su family, and couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope in his heart.
However, as soon as her carriage stopped outside Wangjiang Tower, Dongchen didn't know where it came out, and she stepped forward to greet Shen Nianzhen with a high spirit: "Miss Shen!" Subordinates greet you! ”
Rong Chen's news is really fast!
Shen Nianzhen glanced at him, and said angrily, "What are you doing here?" ”
"According to His Highness's orders, come and protect you, Miss!" Dongchen replied with a look of course, and when he saw Shen Nianzhen's sneering expression, he was not ashamed, and even said with great interest: "Miss came here today to find Second Prince Su?" He is in the third box on the left hand side of the second floor, and his subordinates will lead you over! ”
"Thank you so much." Shen Nianzhen snorted from his nose, immediately raised his foot, and walked into the building with his picturesque arm.
Because there are many fish and dragons in Wangjiang Tower, everyone has it, so when Shen Nianzhen goes out, he is wearing a veil, so he is not afraid of being recognized by others.
However, it is difficult not to be recognized by others, after all, the guards who followed Dongchen, the second prince, behind her were too eye-catching.
"Look! That's the county lord of Roujia! Her back is so beautiful! What a stunning beauty......" When Shen Nianzhen was going up the stairs, he heard someone downstairs quietly talking.
"Humph! What is she beautiful! Compared to the three princesses, she is nothing! Someone scoffed.
The person who admired it earlier immediately raised his voice: "Huh! Three princesses! You also call the exit! I don't know if the first beauty in Beijing in your mouth, the eldest lady of the Su family, is no longer the third princess? She's just a side concubine! If you see Miss Shen in the future, you will have to salute and say hello! Don't dirty Miss Shen with your filthy mouth! You don't deserve it! ”
"You're not worthy!" The other man was furious, and the two of them immediately quarreled.
But Shen Nianzhen didn't know this, she had already gone upstairs, and under the guidance of Dongchen, she quickly found Su Yunmu's box.
Pushing open the door, Shen Nianzhen was almost fainted by the smell of wine in the room, and immediately coughed and retreated: "Is it the wine cellar of Wangjiang Tower?" Or all the jars are broken! ”
"If you go back to the eldest lady, it's not the warehouse, and the smell of wine is drunk by the second son of Su." Dongchen smiled when he heard this, then walked into the room and crackled the window in the room.
Suddenly, a cool wind blew in, and the smell of alcohol in the room dissipated somewhat, but it was still strong.
Shen Nianzhen and Ruhua covered their mouths and stood at the door for a while before raising their feet and walking into the room.
On the table in the room, on the ground, there were almost countless wine jars, and some were broken, and there was a person lying on the edge of the table, who was sleeping soundly, who was not Su Yunmu?
"Hey! Su Yunmu. Shen Nianzhen walked over, raised his foot and kicked lightly on Su Yunmu's leg.
The drunken man at the table was unresponsive.
"Miss Shen, you get out of the way and let your subordinates come down." Dongchen stepped forward and motioned for Shen Nianzhen to step aside, while he himself picked up the teapot on the side and poured it down on Su Yunmu's head.
The tea was already cold, and it was poured down from the head, and soon it wet the hair and clothes, and even ran to the corners of the mouth......
"Who! What is this for? Su Yunmu finally reacted, and a spirit raised his head from the table, scolding and calling the shopkeeper in his mouth, who knew that at a glance, he saw Shen Nianzhen standing aside watching the show, and his eyes suddenly widened.
"I'm not dreaming, am I? How could you see Miss Shen? Didn't she hate me and hate me to death? Su Yunmu said to himself: "Dreaming, yes, I must be dreaming!" ”
Then he lay down again and went back to sleep.
"Get up!" Dongchen was speechless, he didn't expect that he would be able to sleep like this, and at the moment he impatiently pulled Su Yunmu's collar to call people up, and then teased in a cold tone: "Second son Su, you are also a famous queen!" You can't be so timid, right? Don't worry, you're not dreaming, this is indeed Miss Shen! She's coming to visit you! ”
"Miss Shen came to visit me? How did she come? How could His Royal Highness the Second Prince let her come? Su Yunmu was finally willing to look at Shen Nianzhen again, and blinked his eyes twice vigorously.
That's right, people are still there, not hallucinations, not dreams.
The wet feeling on his body reminded him that it was indeed Shen Nianzhen who came, and she saw his drunken appearance.
"Miss Shen, have you come to see my jokes?" Su Yunmu smiled bitterly and said: "Now that I can't marry your sister, the marriage contract with the Duke of Qi has also been canceled, and now this entire noble family in Shangjing, but anyone with a little status can't marry their daughter to me!" My life is ruined. ”
"Are the rumors true or false?" Shen Nianzhen looked at him and asked.
"Are you saying it's true or false?" When Su Yunmu heard this, he immediately burst out laughing, laughing very happily, and tears of laughter flowed out: "I have been thinking hard for many days, trying to find a reason not to offend the Duke of Qi, but also to make them dispel the idea of marriage and take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage, but I can't find it!" That's the only way I can destroy myself...... But I didn't expect that I was finally kicked out by the Shen family, because no one believed me. ”
"It turns out that at the wedding that day, you said that the marriage contract was fake and that it would be canceled sooner or later."
Shen Nianzhen said with a complicated expression.
"Of course it's true! How can that be fake? Su Yunmu glared and said, "That was the most serious time in my life!" ”
"I'm sorry." Shen Nianzhen said lightly when he heard this: "I still think that the Shen family's actions that day were not wrong, Su Yunmu, you may be sincere to my fourth sister, and you are willing to sacrifice a lot for her, but your family is not like this, the wives of the Su family, how many times have you sent a matchmaker to make peace, you have to promise my fourth sister to you as a concubine, you don't know about this matter, right?" Do you think that in this case, our Shen family may give you a good look? ”
