Chapter 83: A Great Misunderstanding
Seven days later, the people sent by Mrs. Shen finally picked up the second lady and Shen Yunqi from Xuzhou.
Second Uncle Shen personally went to the dock to pick up his wife and children, and it was at this time that the second lady knew the fact that the Shen family had been separated.
"You slasher! Why did you agree to split up? Separated from our second room, we have no money and no power, how can we get mixed up in Shangjing? The second lady angrily ignored the people on the dock and scolded.
"The eldest brother and the third brother are very resolute, and the mother can't help it."
Second Uncle Shen looked aggrieved, and said with hatred in his mouth: "They don't have a little brotherhood, don't blame us for not being affectionate in the future!" β
"Idiot!"
The second lady scolded fiercely, didn't want to look at him anymore, turned around and ordered the little servant to drive the carriage to the Shen Commander's Mansion.
"You don't want to go! It's going to be kicked out! β
Second Uncle Shen fanned the flames and said: "A few days ago, Nian Ci had a miscarriage, but it didn't make them soften their hearts!" β
"What's going on? I asked you to go back to Beijing to take care of your daughter, that's how you take care of it? The second lady, Qian, immediately stopped, and her eyes shot at her husband like a sharp arrow.
Second Uncle Shen suddenly lowered his head, and his face showed a hint of unease: "That's what happened......"
He was really ashamed to tell Shen Nianci about the incident that day when he made trouble in the Beihou Mansion, so he avoided the important and trivialized, vaguely said, and pressed all the mistakes on Mrs. Shen: "It's all mother!" Didn't Ci'er just do something wrong! And she threw her to the Zhuangzi! Is that a place for people? Of course Ci'er is going to run away! I met Lu Shizi on this run, and I ...... when I came and went."
When the second lady Qian heard these words, she immediately exploded.
Regardless of it at the moment, he drove the carriage to the Shen Great Commander's Mansion, and the posture was rampant, as if he was going to fight hard.
The second uncle was overjoyed when he saw it, and secretly thought that there would be a fuss, maybe they would be able to go back to the Grand Commander's Mansion in one room! He really didn't want to stay in that small and deserted courtyard anymore, and there wasn't even a single figure for ten days and half a month!
The group was majestic and high-spirited, and went straight to the Shen Commander's Mansion.
Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the busy street in front of the door, I unexpectedly saw a super luxurious carriage parked at the gate of the Shen family, with a forest of guards beside the car, escorting Rong Chen, who was wearing a moon-white robe, was so tall and slender that he was too outstanding.
"Second prince?" Qian gasped.
The anger in my heart died down all of a sudden.
"Daughter-in-law, why don't you go in......" The second uncle caught up from behind panting, and couldn't help but crash into Qian's body, and she couldn't help but run forward, crashing into Rong Chen's carriage, making a bang.
Rong Chen heard the movement and slowly turned around, and a pair of cold eyes slowly fell on the Qian family and the second uncle Shen Pei.
Qian Shi was suddenly frightened, and knelt down with a thud: "Your Highness! β
"Original...... It's the second prince......"
Shen Pei was also startled when he saw Rong Chen's face, but after all, he was a former official, although now that his official position has been dismissed, he has a little more courage than the woman's family, and he actually stepped forward to salute Rong Chen, with a flattering face full of flattery: "I am the second uncle who reads the truth!" β
"It turned out to be Second Master Shen."
Rong Chen glanced at Second Uncle Shen and his wife, who were like clowns jumping off the beam, and asked lightly, "Haven't you already lived in another mansion?" What are you doing again? β
"We ...... I'm here to say hello to the old lady! Right! β
Shen Pei hurriedly said: "Cheap Nei and the dog have just returned from Xuzhou, of course they want to come to see the old lady." β
"Oh? Really? Then come in together. β
Rong Chen lazily dropped a sentence, turned around and went into the house lightly.
The back is elegant and chic, like a fairy.
Qian is stupid.
I thought with envy in my heart, with such a good character and family background, how good would it be if I could marry my own family Nianci?
It's a pity that His Royal Highness the Second Prince can't take a fancy to Shen Nianci.
Qian also thought about it.
She turned around and glanced at Second Uncle Shen, and the two of them extinguished the idea of making a big fuss, let the subordinates carry the sedan chair, let her son Shen Yunqi sit, and went all the way into the house.
Along the way, the people who came and went met each other, and they all nodded and saluted: "Second master, second lady." β
The attitude is not as respectful as usual.
When Qian saw it, his heart became more and more unhappy.
When they arrived at Chunhui Courtyard, they saw the second prince sitting high above and sitting at the top, and the two of them hurriedly put away the resentment in their hearts and respectfully asked Mrs. Shen for peace.
Mrs. Shen can't eat well these days, and she can't sleep well, worrying about Shen Yunqi's condition day and night, until now she finally looks forward to their return to Beijing, her heart is infinitely happy, and her face is a little better for the second old man and his wife: "How is Yunqi?" What happened to him? β
"Back to the old lady, the bumps in the road are getting more and more serious."
Speaking of her baby son, the second lady immediately covered her mouth with a handkerchief and sobbed lowly: "If I hadn't been using good ginseng all the time to hang my life, I would have died sooner!" All the money I and I spent on this......"
"Second aunt, what you said is not right."
Shen Nianzhen interjected on the side: "Full of calculations, you have rushed all the way from Xuzhou to Shangjing, it is only half a month's schedule, a hundred years of ginseng, you can buy it for one hundred and ten taels of silver, but one will be used for a long time, but I am afraid that there are still a lot of things left in your current ceremony, right?" β
"You embezzled your grandmother's dowry and treasury, you don't know how much money you have, you haven't taken out a penny, and now you're poor with just a ginseng? This is a lie, a lie! β
These words unceremoniously exposed the true colors of the two people.
The second uncle's face suddenly showed a trace of shame, and he hurriedly lowered his head.
Qian jumped up angrily, pointed at Shen Nianzhen and scolded: "The elders are talking here, when is it your turn to intervene as a junior?" No tutor! Is this how the old lady taught you on weekdays? In the future, you will marry into the Second Prince's Mansion and face His Majesty the Emperor all day long, is it not big or small? β
"I won't bother Second Mrs. Shen about this." Rong Chen spoke slowly, with a hint of chill in his voice: "Nian Zhen is the fiancΓ©e of this palace, the future princess, this palace is willing to spoil her, willing to let her be big or small, do you care?" β
"Second Highness, I also have a good intention......"
When the Qian family became angry, he left the second prince aside, and when he heard this, he immediately wilted, and his face showed a trace of panic. This is His Royal Highness the Second Prince! The real royal family, if they are offended, they don't know how they will die one day.
"Your kindness should be left to your own daughter."
Rong Chen said coldly.
Second Lady Shen laughed twice and lowered her head.
Old Lady Shen sat there, and when she saw Rong Chen's appearance of defending Shen Nianzhen, her face suddenly showed a look of relief, but when she turned her head to look at the second old man and his wife, a wave of anger surged from the bottom of her heart.
These two people, it's really mud that can't support the wall!
What a good grandson has made these two people educate like! Now there is only one breath left to live.
She made up her mind, took a deep breath and said, "You two, don't behave in front of my wife, who are you, my wife knows very well!" There is no need to say anything more. β
"Mother!"
Qian and Shen Pei raised their heads in unison, their faces pleading.
Old Lady Shen was indifferent, shook her head and said, "It's useless to beg me, now that the two of you have separated, you can go out of the house and live another life, as for Yunqi, he can stay here to recuperate." β
"Mother! Yunqi still needs my mother to take care of her! β
Qian said hurriedly: "Let me stay too!" β
"Mother, can you bear to see your son alone outside?" Shen Peiqiang squeezed out a tear and looked at the old lady with a pleading face.
"Say no more! Otherwise, don't leave any of them! Old Mrs. Shen slapped the armrest of the chair angrily and said angrily: "Look at the third family!" Say move away, move away! Without a hint of hesitation! You two, it's just useless! β
"Okay, then Yunqi stays."
Shen Pei said disappointedly.
In front of the second prince and Shen Nianzhen, being insulted like this by the old lady, I can't refute it, and the second room couple is unspeakably depressed and wronged.
"Okay, Ann is also invited, and the ceremony is also good, you guys go back quickly!"
I really didn't want to see these two bad goods, so Mrs. Shen did not hesitate to give an eviction order.
"Mother, let me watch Yunqi settle down before leaving, okay?" Qian's Ai Ai's face was full of worry and reluctance.
It was a mother's request.
Old Lady Shen suddenly softened, nodded and said, "Okay, you settle Yunqi and then leave the mansion." β
"Thank you, mother!"
Qian and the second uncle nodded again and again, and the two of them invariably showed surprise on their faces.
Shen Nian really saw it, and his heart was suddenly alert.
After the couple retired and left, she immediately said to Mrs. Shen: "Grandmother, let Mama Zhou go and take a look, see if there is anything missing, and make up for it in time." β
"It's fine." Old Lady Shen nodded.
Mama Zhou immediately retreated.
"Mama." Shen Nianzhen chased after him and advised: "Keep an eye on it, don't let the second master secretly take things out of the house again." β
Before the second room moved, it can be said that the entire west courtyard was emptied.
"Okay." Mama Zhou immediately smiled and nodded.
Rong Chen came out of the house and saw Shen Nianzhen frowning tightly, and couldn't help but speak: "If you feel embarrassed, just kick them out." β
"No, I wish it was." Shen Nianzhen smiled coldly when he heard this, turned back to Rong Chen and said, "Why is Your Highness here today?" What a coincidence. β
"Qiao?" Rong Chen immediately raised his eyebrows, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, and handed it to Shen Nianzhen: "Look at what this thing is?" β
"This is my veil." Shen Nianzhen took it and looked at it, and asked suspiciously, "Where did Your Highness get it from?" β
"That's what I should ask you."
Rong Chen snorted coldly, and slowly walked to the pavilion under the eaves and sat down.
Shen Nianzhen held the handkerchief and looked at it over and over, racking his brains and thinking for a long time, but he didn't expect how this handkerchief got into Rong Chen's hand, could it be that he gave it to him?
No way!
A handkerchief is a personal thing, she will never give it to others.
"Miss, a few days ago, you went to Cheng'anbo Mansion, don't lose it there, right?" Picturesque looked at the veil and suddenly spoke.
"That's right! It must have been accidentally dropped that day. Shen Nianzhen suddenly realized, the more he thought about it, the more likely it became, he looked back at Rong Chen, and said with a smile: "Does the prince have anything else?" You didn't just come here for this handkerchief, did you? β
"Do you know who is the bearer of this veil?" Rong Chen stared at her eyes and said slowly: "It's Liao Zhongwen." β
"Liao Zhongwen? Who's that? Shen Nianzhen looked at him in surprise, and after thinking hard for a long time, he suddenly realized: "The third son of the Liao family? I've only seen him once! β
"You just met him, and you gave him the veil?" Rong Chen raised his eyebrows, and a pair of good-looking eyes had begun to slowly brew a storm.
"How is that possible!" Shen Nianzhen immediately shook his head: "I just met him!" At that time, there were also the second sons of Su, the sisters of the Liao family, and many people were present! How could I possibly give him the veil! It must have been accidentally dropped and picked up by him! β
"When you went to Liao's house, you not only met Liao Zhongwen, but also Su Yunmu?"
Rong Chen hooked the corners of his mouth shallowly, revealing a sarcastic smile.
He was angry.
Shen Nianzhen sensitively noticed it, and secretly screamed in her heart, and was busy explaining the events of that day, and even took out the seal she had won from Su Yunmu's hand.
Rong Chen took the seal over and looked down.
"Your Highness finally believes what I say now, right?" Shen Nianzhen said: "All my thoughts were on this seal at that time, and I kept thinking about how it was spread, and I didn't care about anything else at all!" β
"What did your eldest brother say?"
Of course, Rong Chen knew what kind of risk it would be for a person's exclusive seal to be left outside, and when he heard this, he raised his head and glanced at Shen Nianzhen.
"The eldest brother put it in the study, it disappeared so quietly, and in the past few days, I have secretly investigated in the house, and sold a batch of subordinates, but I didn't find any results."
Shen Nianzhen turned his head and glanced in the direction of the West Courtyard, and said slowly: "It's not a subordinate, it's not an outsider, it's an internal thief." β
"That's why you didn't object to your grandmother leaving Shen Yunqi behind today?"
Rong Chen raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said sarcastically: "This palace thought you were worried about your cousin's body. β
"Why should I worry about him?"
Shen Nianzhen snorted coldly and said, "If this seal is found out to have been secretly sold by him, I will definitely not spare him!" β
"It's cold enough." Rong Chen smiled when he heard this: "This palace likes it." β
Like? Isn't this man sick?
Shen Nianzhen looked Rong Chen up and down, and saw that he was not drunk, not crazy, not laughing, and his expression was serious, and his face immediately turned red.
Could this man be serious......
Rong Chen squinted at her, and the warm sunlight plated a layer of gold powder on the girl's cheeks, and the shy ruddy was extremely vivid.
His eyes suddenly deepened.
He said slowly: "Regarding the handkerchief, this palace believes you for the time being, but before, you promised this palace not to meet Su Yunmu......
"Didn't Your Highness find out? Second Prince Su is for my fourth sister these two times! β
Shen Nianzhen immediately held his hand and explained seriously: "Your Highness believes in me! I'm your fiancΓ©e, and there's absolutely no way I'll betray you! Unless one day His Highness doesn't want me......"
Rong Chen immediately raised his eyebrows: "Even if the palace doesn't want you anymore, you are still a woman in the palace!" β
The tone is quite domineering.
Why! Shen Nianzhen rolled his eyes, very speechless.
Rong Chen was anti-guest, holding her hand tightly, Shen Nianzhen felt a little pain, and was about to open his mouth to beg for mercy, when he heard him slowly speak: "You'd better remember what Bengong said." β
"Remember! Remember! β
Shen Nianzhen hurriedly withdrew his hand vigorously, put it to his mouth and blew it.
"Does it hurt?" Rong Chen looked at her and raised his eyebrows: "Then this palace will be tapped next time." β
As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Shen took Mama Zhou's hand and came out of the house, just hearing this sentence in her ears, her face suddenly changed.
It hurts, tap ......
Mama Zhou also looked at Shen Nianzhen and Rong Chen in shock, could it be that these two people ......
After sending Rong Chen away, Old Lady Shen's face suddenly sank, and she immediately said to Shen Nianzhen: "You come in with me!" β
Mama Zhou even drove all the servants in Chunhui's courtyard, locked the courtyard door, and came back to guard the door.
Shen Nianzhen looked at this battle like a great enemy, and was a little puzzled: "Grandmother, what's wrong?" β
"You tell me the truth, you ...... with the second prince"
Old Madam Shen was a little embarrassed: "You two, you won't be as uncontrollable as Shen Nianci and Lu Yiming, right?" Grandmother knows that you young people are very angry...... But you should pay attention to it! How can you do such a depraved thing! Do you want a reputation anymore? β
"Grandmother, what the hell are you talking about? What is the immorality? Shen Nianzhen was confused.
Old Madam Shen turned her head and glanced at Mama Zhou.
Mama Zhou immediately spoke: "Miss, the old lady suspects that you and His Royal Highness the Second Prince have secretly tasted the forbidden fruit." β
Stealing the forbidden fruit?
Shen Nianzhen's face turned red as soon as he brushed it.
Then he was speechless: "Grandmother! How can you think that! I'm definitely not going to do such a thing! β
"Then just now you whispered to His Royal Highness the Second Prince, what did it hurt, lightly...... What's going on here? β
Old Lady Shen looked at her suspiciously, and said earnestly: "Zhen'er, you are still young, sometimes you can't resist the temptation and do something wrong, and you don't know the consequences at all......"
"Grandmother, I know the consequences."
Shen Nianzhen immediately interrupted her and said solemnly: "If you are really not at ease, then from today until I get married, I will never meet His Royal Highness the Second Prince again." β
Old Lady Shen looked at her with a serious expression, a little dumbfounded.
Could it be that I really made a mistake?
"No, no." Old Lady Shen stammered a little and said, "You still have to see it, but you must not fall like your second sister, otherwise it will ruin your life!" β
"Grandmother, I understand." Shen Nianzhen obediently agreed.
When Mrs. Shen saw her like this, she couldn't bear to say anything serious.
Shen Nianzhen stayed with her until the evening, and then went back to her room, and as soon as she entered the house, she instructed Ruhua: "Go grinding, I want to write a letter." β
"It's so late, to whom?" Picturesque asked in surprise.
"Second Prince!"
