Chapter 94: Escape from marriage

It's quiet and even a little weird.

Could it be that something is wrong in the house? Shen Nianzhen turned his head to look at the picturesque look, and immediately quickened his pace.

The master and servant hurried to the door of Chunhui Courtyard, and before they could enter, they heard a burst of sharp crying from inside, and it was also suppressed and frustrated, and the eardrums of the piercing people hurt.

This scene was extremely familiar, and Shen Nianzhen thought for a moment that he had returned to the days when the two and three rooms lived in the same Grand Commander's Mansion in the past. At that time, the second lady was going to make such a fuss every once in a while, and the whole family was not at peace.

Now, here it is again!

The anger in Shen Nian's heart rushed upward, and he immediately accelerated his pace and walked in, going straight to the upper room.

There were two rows of maids standing at the door of the house, and when they saw her, they all bent down and saluted: "Miss." ”

The howling in the room fell silent.

Shen Nianzhen walked in slowly in this quiet, and as soon as he bypassed the screen, he saw the second uncle kneeling in front of the old lady, and the two of them changed from the downness when they were kicked out before, dressed in silk and satin, and there were even five or six golden hairpins in the second lady's sideburns, and when they saw her come in, they all showed a flattering smile: "Nianzhen is back?" ”

Shen Nianzhen twitched the corners of his mouth, bowed perfunctorily to the two people, and looked at the old lady Shen and Shen Chong, who were sitting in the middle of the head, with a heavy face: "Grandmother, daddy, what happened?" ”

Old Mrs. Shen looked like she had been struck by thunder, and she didn't want to talk more: "Ask your second uncle!" Look what they're doing! ”

Shen Zhong is good-tempered, glanced at the second child at the moment, and said slowly: "You can explain!" β€œ

Such a humiliating thing, the second master was also difficult to speak, and immediately reached out and stabbed his wife next to him: "You come!" ”

The second lady knows that what she can rely on now is the Shen family, and Shen Nianzhen is about to become the second princess, that is the most noble person, of course she does not dare to offend, and when she heard this, she said: "Today, your sister Nianci got married, but she fled before she got on the sedan chair, and let her personal maid top the tank, the rich man Zhang had seen her, and she wanted to marry after a glance, and when she lifted the hijab and found that the person was fake, she immediately brought someone to kill her, and asked us to return the 30,000 taels of dowry silver......"

Shen Nianci ran away from marriage?

Shen Nianzhen suddenly raised his eyebrows.

Then he looked at the second lady with a smile: "So, they plan to withdraw from the marriage and don't want the fourth sister?" ”

"That's not what I said!" The second lady felt that this was very ugly, as if her daughter couldn't get married, and hurriedly explained: "It's that I can't find Nian Ci Ren at all now!" I don't know where she ran to! Because of this, the rich man Zhang asked for a return of the dowry! ”

"Then you will give the money to the people!" Shen Nianzhen said in a cold tone: "You can't let the money go out, and the daughter-in-law has also run away, will you do this loss-making business?" ”

"Where do we have the money to pay him!"

The second lady immediately cried and grabbed the ground: "Your second uncle owes so many debts outside, and we will pay off the debts as soon as the dowry arrives!" Now there is no rice and no cooking at home, and I have no last meal, so where can I find silver......

"Yes, it's miserable...... the second uncle also cried in agreement.

The situation is back to what it used to be.

Shen Nianzhen raised his head and glanced at Mrs. Shen faintly, seeing that her brows were tightly locked, her lips were pursed, and her eyes revealed a trace of deep impatience and hatred.

The second child is like this, she also has no face!

And Shen Zheng is worried, and it seems that he is really thinking about solving this matter for the second room.

Shen Nianzhen's heart suddenly became alarmed.

She turned her head, looked at the second lady, and said unceremoniously: "Since the silver has been spent, and I can't afford to pay it back, I will quickly send someone to find the fourth sister back!" Whether it's silver or money, there must be something to return to the Zhang family, right? What's the use of you crying here, it's not my grandmother and my father who hid the fourth sister! ”

"Yes, the old slave can guarantee that the fourth lady has never returned to the Shen family."

Mama Zhou immediately spoke.

The second lady cried, glanced at Shen Nianzhen from between her fingers, and immediately cried louder: "The key is that you can't find anyone!" I've found it all over Kyoto! It is really possible that Nian Ci is hiding in the Grand Commander's Mansion...... Or, do a search? ”

After speaking, he raised his head and looked at Mrs. Shen hopefully.

Old Lady Shen was suddenly angry, slapped her palms on the table, and said hatefully: "That little slut didn't come back!" Even if she wanted to come back, the Grand Consul's Mansion wouldn't open this door for her! Search? Where did you get such a big face! ”

"Mother, it's really not that my daughter-in-law is excessive, but that Nianci has lost it, I'm really panicked!" The second lady sobbed with a pitiful expression.

The second uncle also fanned the flames on the side, adding fuel and vinegar: "Mother, did you really hide people, so you didn't dare to let people search them?" ”

Old Mrs. Shen was instantly furious and was about to get angry, Shen Nianzhen walked over and gently pressed her arm, smiled at the second old man and his wife, raised his chin slightly, and said slowly: "I know where the fourth sister is, the second uncle will send someone to find it." ”

"Where?" Second Master Shen glanced at Shen Nianzhen suspiciously.

Shen Nianzhen smiled incomprehensibly and said, "It's hard to say where this hiding place is, but as long as you can find out the person and solve the problem, the second uncle won't care too much, right?" If you don't have enough people, I can ask my father to send some people to help you find them. ”

"This ......" Second Master Shen hesitated a little, not knowing if there was a trap in this sentence.

He didn't dare to underestimate Shen Nianzhen at all, with a family like them being able to keep the fiancΓ© of the second prince, it was not an ordinary woman.

But the second lady said, "Okay! As long as you can help get Nianci back, it's all good! ”

She has a very good calculation in her heart, and when she finds it back, after that, the account of the rich man Zhang is best written off by the Great Commander's Mansion, which will be the most perfect. Wasn't it always like this before?

Shen Nian really glanced at her with a smile, and did not miss the calculation in the eyes of the second lady.

Is it true that the current Commander's Mansion is still the same as it used to be? Dream!

The matter was settled, Shen focused on a group of very skilled guards in the house, and together with the second master, went out to find Shen Nianci, who had escaped from marriage, and the second master asked worriedly when he left: "Big brother, what if Nianci, a dead girl, escapes from the city, what can I do!" ”

"No way, you're worried too much, second brother."

Shen Chongyan shook his head slowly when he heard this, and said, "Nianci, a little girl, what do you live by escaping outside the city?" If you are abducted and trafficked again, it is better to live than to die, will your daughter not think of this? Rest assured, she must still be in Shangjingli. ”

The second master frowned and thought for a moment when he heard this, and then he was relieved.

As soon as he left with the guards, Mrs. Shen ruthlessly drove the second lady away, for this woman who relied on her own face, grasped the opportunity to be fed by the Grand Commander's Mansion, and almost sold out the things in her treasury, she didn't let people kill the second lady It was already merciful, and now she is extremely disgusted, and she really doesn't want to see her.

But the second lady didn't leave, knelt there and cried: "Mother! Just let me stay here! The rich man led a large number of big hands to guard the door, and when he saw someone, he would beat and kill, and his daughter-in-law really didn't dare to go back! I'm afraid of being a revenant under the stick! ”

"If you knew today, why bother in the first place!" Old Lady Shen snorted heavily: "You know that Nianci is unwilling to marry, but why do you want to accept other people's dowries?" The age of the rich man is older than the two of you combined, and you can bear to marry a girl who is not yet in full bloom to fill the house? It's really a person with a black rotten liver who can do such a thing! ”

After speaking, he glanced at the second lady in disgust.

The second lady ducked her head, her face full of guilt.

She is also a person who loves her daughter, but Shen Nianci did such a thing, and said in public that she was pregnant with Lu Yiming's flesh and blood, and she had already lost her face. It's good to be able to find someone like Rich Zhang who doesn't care at all!

There is no way for them to do it.

Shen Nianzhen said slowly: "Second aunt, aren't you afraid that the people of the Zhang family will beat you?" We won't let you go, but this is Chunhui Courtyard, where grandmother rests, you can't be messed around, there is still a vacant room in the gatehouse, you go there to rest first! The house is in charge of tea and rice, don't worry, you can't be hungry. ”

This is to treat her as a poor relative in the countryside who comes to fight the autumn breeze.

It has only been long since she was kicked out of this prestigious Grand Commander's Mansion, and the second lady has not yet adapted to the change of her identity, in her heart, this mansion is still her home, and now that Leng Buding heard Shen Nianzhen say such words, her face suddenly turned purple with anger.

However, after Shen Nianzhen finished speaking, he glanced at Mrs. Shen and asked respectfully, "Grandmother, is it okay for my granddaughter to arrange it like this?" ”

"Yay!" Old Mrs. Shen nodded again and again, looking at Shen Nianzhen's eyes full of pride and appreciation, but when she turned her head to look at the second lady, her face became expressionless: "What are you doing in a daze?" Didn't you hear what the eldest lady commanded? Hurry up and drag her down for me! It's so noisy that my head hurts! ”

As soon as the words fell, several strong mothers-in-law came in from outside, and without saying a word, dragged the second lady away.

"Let go of me!" The second lady suddenly screamed: "Old lady! You don't have the right to do that! After all, I am a serious daughter-in-law, you can't place me like a subordinate! ”

"Oh? Are you still disgusted? Then go straight to the house! Whatever you want. ”

Old Lady Shen waved her arm expressionlessly, not even glancing at her out of the corner of her eye.

The second lady was completely cold.

I didn't dare to make any more trouble, so I let the slave pull me down.

After a while, the servant replied, saying that the second lady had stayed in an empty room in the porter's room, and was waiting for her with good tea and water.

"Alright, let her be!" The old lady waved her hand, looking tired and tired.

Shen Nianzhen hurriedly stepped forward in person and helped her into the inner house to rest on the kang, and the old lady Shen held her hand and asked with a kind face: "Zhen'er, how is the situation in Wangjiang Tower today?" Did anything else happen? ”

Shen Nianzhen didn't want to say those bad things to worry her, so she replied with a smile: "Back to my grandmother, Wangjiang Tower is very lively, it is worthy of being an annual lively festival, everything is fine with my granddaughter, nothing happens." ”

"That's good, you're a worry-free person." Old Lady Shen nodded and closed her eyes reassuringly.

Shen Nianzhen tucked the quilt corner for her, turned around and quietly retreated.

When she came to the outer room, she called Ruhua and asked in a low voice, "Can you inquire clearly?" Who put the second uncle and his wife in today? ”

"Back to Miss, the second master's family made a lot of trouble at the door, and the porter went in to report to the old lady." Picturesque replied.

Shen Nianzhen frowned when he heard this.

The troublesome thing in the second room will never end, and my grandmother's body can't stand the toss, if she is angry a few more times, she will definitely get seriously ill, and it seems that this concierge must be taken care of.

However, this matter should be left to Daddy to do, Shen Nianzhen thought.

At dusk, a beautiful orange sunset appeared on the horizon, but it was not long before it gradually fell silent.

When it was dark, the second master returned.

The group went straight to Chunhui Courtyard, alarming many people.

In the brightly lit main hall, Shen Nian was really accompanying Mrs. Shen to dinner, just because of the matter in the second room, the old lady had no appetite, Shen Nian was really easy to persuade her to eat a tofu bun, and when she was drinking porridge, the second master and his party rushed into the living room, and as soon as they entered the door, they cried and shouted to their mother.

Old Lady Shen immediately put down the porridge spoon and turned her head.

Shen Nianzhen also followed, among the subordinates in that group, Shen Nianci, who was dressed in blue coarse cloth, was particularly conspicuous, of course, Lu Yiming, the prince of the former Zhenbei Hou Mansion who stood beside her with a cramped and uneasy face, was even more conspicuous.

I haven't seen him for a long time, Lu Yiming has lost a lot of weight, wearing a moon-white half-old robe, there are no accessories on his body, the shoes under his feet are still torn, his eyes are huge, but he doesn't dare to look at the people in the room with his head down, and the bright lights in the hall completely reveal his cramped and uneasy in front of Shen Nianzhen.

I didn't expect him to come here, Shen Nianzhen was slightly surprised.

But if you think about it, it makes sense.

The Zhenbei Hou Mansion fell, Lu Yiming became a street rat, not to mention the arrogant selection of the young lady of the hairpin family as his fiancΓ©e, now it is difficult for him to find a woman, in this case, Shen Nianci threw himself into his arms, of course he was not sensitive.

However, why did he come to the Shen family with him?

Just as she was wondering, Old Lady Shen got up and walked out of the dining table and said coldly: "What's going on?" ”

"Mother! This dead girl ran away from Lu's house! The second old man said angrily: "When I found her, she was already living with the shameless Lu Yiming!" The two of them also spoke loudly, saying that they had become husband and wife, and no one could separate them...... What's going on! ”

The second master said, turned his head to look at the hands of Shen Nianci and Lu Yiming holding each other tightly, tears flowed loudly, and the crying was extremely sad.

It's so funny for a big man to be like this, Shen Nian really endured it and endured it, so he didn't laugh out loud.

"What? Ci'er wants to marry Lu Yiming? The second lady hurriedly rushed in from outside, and just heard what the second master said, and her face suddenly changed greatly.

Looking at it again, Shen Nianci and Lu Yiming were still holding hands tightly, looking like a loving little couple, the second lady suddenly screamed, rushed over, separated the two of them at once, held Shen Nianci's hand tightly, pulled her aside, and said angrily: "Are you stupid?" Isn't it stupid? Now all the people in Beijing are afraid of the Lu family, for fear of being contaminated with a little bit of bad luck, but you are rushing to get up! You owe the Lu family in your last life! Even if you don't care about yourself, you can't drag others down with you! ”

The second lady is really desperate for herself as a woman.

"Mother! Words can't be said like that! Shen Nianci struggled to get back to Lu Yiming, and shouted, "Yiming has already agreed to marry me!" As long as I have a man in my life, you can't stop me......"

Before the words fell, the second lady could no longer hold back and slapped her in the face.

The crisp sound of snapping instantly stunned a room of people.

Lu Yiming looked at the second lady in disbelief, a trace of anger appeared in his eyes, but seeing that there were people from the Shen family all around, he swallowed this breath stiffly, and stood there without saying a word, letting Shen Nianci be beaten by his mother.

Such a cowardly and irresponsible man is the treasure in the palm of Shen Nianci's hand?

When Shen Nianzhen saw this scene, he was really ridiculous, and he was very suspicious that his brain had also entered the water in his previous life, how could he fall in love with such a person.

"Mother! Why are you hitting me? Shen Nianci stretched out her hand to cover her face, looked at her mother in disbelief, and then a trace of resentment welled up in her eyes: "Is it because I didn't listen to you to marry that old rich man?" Since you sold me against my will, don't blame me for escaping! ”

"You! You unfilial daughter! ”

The second lady almost fainted when she heard the words, and scolded incoherently: "I have lost my conscience, and I don't know what to do!" Mother, I should have drowned you when I gave birth to you! It's better than you being angry with me today! ”

"Really? It's too late for you to regret it now! Shen Nianci did not show weakness.

The rest of the Shen family listened silently to the mother and daughter's scolding, and they really didn't know how to interject, even the second master stared at Lu Yiming tightly with a pair of resentful eyes, and said unceremoniously: "Master Lu, go home!" Without 50,000 taels of silver, our family would not be able to give you Nianci! ”

"Isn't it 30,000 taels? How did it become 50,000 again! Shen Nianci shouted when he heard this.

Shen Pei, the second old man, who was exposed to the lie, suddenly showed a trace of annoyance and anger on his face, and said angrily: "Okay! 30,000 is 30,000! The surname Lu, you take it out! I'll let you take them away." ”

"I don't have any money." Lu Yiming said slowly: "Our Lu family was raided, all the valuable items in the house were moved, and the mansion couldn't go back. ”

That's all he has now.

"You didn't? So what are you doing here! Get out of here! The second old man said viciously.
