Chapter 264: The Truth Revealed
The veil that was gagged in his mouth was also removed.
Yun Cui called out directly: "Uncle! It's not about slaves! Slaves are forced! ”
She is innocent or not, this matter will be talked about in the future, the most important thing now is to hurry back to Zhu's house with a sedan chair, find out the real bride Zhu Xiuyan, and then take it over to the church to get married.
Shen Nianzhen waved his hand, and the picture behind him rushed up, stretched out his hand to support Yun Cui, and pulled her to the side: "Miss Yun Cui, don't worry, go, I'll take you to change this clothes......"
Yuncui refused to leave, looking at Shen Yunlan who had already turned over and got on the horse with pitiful eyes, wanting to say goodbye.
Shen Yunlan didn't look at her with half an eye, but just ordered everyone to follow him and prepare to leave for Wenchangbo's mansion.
At this time, someone in the crowd suddenly said coldly: "Why is this fake bride looking at the groom officer sadly? Do you have a personal affair with him? ”
As soon as this sentence came out, there was a lot of discussion.
Shen Nian turned his head angrily, and saw that the person who spoke was Jiang Ling.
Seeing Shen Nianzhen turn around, Jiang Ling hooked the corners of his mouth and showed a smug smile at her.
Shen Nian really wanted to tear him apart! This man is so bad!
"No, my eldest brother has a deep affection for his sister-in-law, how could he fall in love with such a thing that betrays the Lord and seeks glory!" Shen Nianzhen said coldly.
Yun Cui said a word, she opened her mouth and wanted to speak, on the side Zhou Mama had already covered her mouth quickly, and the other hand firmly pulled her arm, and the other Mama sped up and pushed her to the corner door next to her.
After entering the gate of the Shen family, what do you want to do with her, is it not up to the Shen family to have the final say?
Yun Cui was horrified, trying hard to resist, but there was no chance.
Here, Shen Yunlan looked through the crowd, glanced at Jiang Ling expressionlessly, and then turned around and left without hesitation.
From beginning to end, he didn't glance at Princess Zhaohua who was standing beside Jiang Ling.
Princess Zhaohua looked forward to it, and the moment Shen Yunlan looked over, almost her whole heart was about to jump out of her chest, but Shen Yunlan's gaze did not fall on her for a moment.
With Shen Yunlan's departure, Princess Zhaohua's heart fell into the abyss in an instant.
How much anticipation there was just now, how desperate it is at the moment.
She really couldn't imagine that Shen Yunlan was so cold-hearted to herself! I don't even want to look at her! It's as if she's not a living person standing here, but a bug or something.
This feeling, bordering on insult.
Princess Zhaohua's whole body trembled slightly, and at that moment she really wanted to rush forward, take a knife and kill Shen Yunlan directly, and it was a hundred!
"Disappointed, isn't it? He didn't even look at you. Jiang Ling's lazy, playful voice came from his ears: "Zhaohua, Zhaohua, the most pitiful person in the world is you." ”
"This princess doesn't need you to be pitiful!" Princess Zhaohua was furious, turned her head sharply and glared at Jiang Ling coldly, and then walked out with her feet raised.
Shen Yunlan left, this wedding can't go on, there is no need for her to stay here anymore!
Jiang Ling looked at her angry gaze, smiled faintly, and then raised his foot to chase after her.
The people next to him hurriedly got out of the way.
Princess Zhaohua swaggered into their gorgeous carriage and left.
Shen Nianzhen didn't send them off, let alone say goodbye to them, but together with Liao Fangru, beckoned the guests to enter the house and sit down.
"My eldest brother will definitely be able to successfully bring back the real bride, everyone will follow me into the house to drink tea and chat." Shen Nianzhen greeted everyone with a smile.
In fact, when such a thing happened, many of the guests present wanted to leave, but in the face of Shen Nianzhen's warm hospitality, none of them could say anything about leaving, so they could only reluctantly enter the house with her one by one.
Of course, there are also some people who just have the mentality of watching a good show, waiting to see how this marriage between the Shen family and the Earl of Wenchang will end.
The wedding banquet is in the back garden, a shaded pergola has been specially built, and now the weather in March and April is still slightly hot at noon, and the guests have divided the male and female seats, and gathered together through the long screen and are discussing hotly: "Do you think, can the Shen family welcome back the real bride this time?" ”
"Probably will?" The other replied, "After all, this is a marriage from His Majesty!" Can the Zhu family still hide Miss Zhu and not let her marry? This is also too stupid, as long as Commander Shen goes to complain in front of His Majesty, then the Wenchang Earl's Mansion will not be able to eat and leave this time! ”
"The Wenchang Earl's Mansion is also amazing! On the wedding day, a maid was used to replace the bride, which slapped the Shen family's face fiercely! I don't know if the Shen family can breathe this way right now and treat the bride better in the future......"
"If it were you, would you be kind to your bride and not take out your anger on her? Is it possible? ”
Shen Nianzhen didn't have the time to pay attention to these discussions, she was busy comforting Mrs. Shen in Chunhui Courtyard, for fear that she would fall ill urgently because of this change: "Grandmother, you really don't have to worry, eldest brother, he will definitely bring his sister-in-law back in person!" You can rest assured! ”
"What if, the Zhu family refuses to admit it?" Old Lady Shen asked worriedly.
"Yes, Nianzhen." Liao Fangru said on the side: "Yunlan didn't want Yuncui to pollute the sedan chair, so she took her down, and carried an empty sedan chair to the Zhu family to ask for someone, and the Zhu family would not necessarily admit it!" What can I do? “
"That's good." Shen Nianzhen thought about it, immediately walked out, called Beiyang in, and instructed: "You immediately use a carriage to take that Yuncui back to the Wenchang Earl's Mansion now, and say that she was sent back by the Shen family." Today's wedding, so many people have seen it, and no one will slander their Zhu family. ”
"Yes, Princess." Beiyang immediately agreed, turned around and left.
Shen Nian really calmed down and returned to the house, thinking quickly in his mind if there was anything missing.
"Wait!" Shen Nianzhen suddenly went out again and stopped Beiyang: "Princess Zhaohua and Jiang Ling left just now, this time they may not have given up dealing with our Shen family, when you go, bring more people, don't have an accident, you know?" ”
"Okay." Beiyang nodded.
This time, Shen Nianzhen didn't say anything more, and waved his hand to tell him to retreat.
When he returned to the house, Shen Nianzhen breathed a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Shen sat on the Luohan bed in a daze, looking out of the window, I don't know what she was thinking, her old man is old, and her body is still a little uncomfortable these days, some coughs, for Shen Yunlan's wedding today, she got up very early, and now she is extremely tired.
However, without seeing her eldest grandson get married, she had no way to rest.
But at this moment, there was another commotion outside.
Shen Nianzhen's face changed, and he hurriedly went out again, only to see Beiyang and Shen Yunqi together, escorting Yuncui into it from outside, and Yuncui was embarrassed.
"This girl just wanted to escape, but fortunately she was stared at by the second young master and didn't run away." Beiyang Road.
"Thank you, second brother." Shen Nianzhen glanced at Shen Yunqi gratefully when he heard this.
"We're all family, thank you." Shen Yunqi said: "This girl refuses to be honest, she wants to escape, she may be planning something secretly, sister, you will interrogate her." ”
When Shen Nianzhen heard this, he slowly walked down the steps and walked in front of Yun Cui.
Yuncui is Zhu Xiuyan's maid, but she is not her favorite one, usually when Zhu Xiuyan goes out to play, she takes the maid like smoke, not Yuncui.
However, Shen Nianzhen remembered this Yun Cui, because in his previous life, it was this Yun Cui who killed Zhu Xiuyan, and he didn't expect to live again, this girl came out so early.
Originally, Shen Nianzhen was going to forget her, but she was better and went forward by herself.
"Second princess! What are you doing? You let me go! When Yun Cui saw Shen Nianzhen, a trace of timidity suddenly appeared in her eyes, and she shouted in a bluff.
"I guess you were bribed, you stunned my sister-in-law with medicine on the day of the wedding, hid her, and then put on her wedding dress and pretended to be a bride to marry, right?"
Shen Nianzhen looked at her and said faintly: "And the person who bought you is Princess Zhaohua's concubine, Jiang Ling, isn't it?" ”
When Yun Cui heard this, a trace of weakness flashed in her eyes, she glanced to the side, and snorted coldly: "I don't understand what you're talking about!" ”
"Don't pretend, do you think you're smart?"
Shen Nianzhen looked at her and said sarcastically: "Do you know, even if my eldest brother didn't find out when you got off the sedan chair, let you get into the mansion and survive the chapel, but once you are sent to the cave room and the hijab is removed, when he finds out that something is wrong, what awaits you is a dead end!" What do you have to be arrogant? ”
"Your Shen family may not dare to kill me, right?" Yun Cui was not only not afraid when she heard this, but smiled: "If you really want to kill me, the concubine will enter the palace on the spot to complain to Your Majesty!" At that time, Shen Yunlan will not only not be able to marry our young lady, but will also be reprimanded by His Majesty and lose his official position! ”
It turns out that this is Jiang Ling's purpose?
Isn't that child's play?
"You are so dedicated to helping Jiang Ling, betraying your own master, what benefits can you get?"
"The benefits? That's a lot. ”
When Yun Cui heard this, he immediately laughed proudly: "Shen Yunlan has already worshiped me, even if I can't be the wife of the young commander, at least I can be a side room!" It was your Shen family who brought me into the door, I'm a maid, fighting to the death, and being able to get something that even Princess Zhaohua can't get is not a benefit? ”
"But my brother knows that you are so scheming, betraying the Lord for glory, how can he like you." Shen Nianzhen was really speechless. Doesn't this Yuncui have no brains?
"Who said I had to be liked by your brother? I just want an identity. Yun Cui snorted coldly.
Shen Nianzhen looked at her and asked slowly: "You just told the horse about buying you so nakedly, aren't you afraid that you will be killed by the horse afterwards?" ”
"As long as I don't say it in front of His Majesty, and I don't say it in front of outsiders, what loss can I do to the horse?" Yun Cui snorted coldly.
"Yes, you just told me, how can others believe what I say." Shen Nianzhen sighed slightly when he heard this.
"So, please let me go." Yun Cui held her head high proudly, looked at Shen Nianzhen proudly, and said, "Today, I showed my face in front of everyone!" If I die in the Shen family like this, you will definitely cause public anger! ”
Shen Nianzhen laughed when she heard this, and then looked at her and said condescendingly: "It's really stupid, you are a slave who is plotting to kill your master and marry in place of your master, our Shen family didn't kill you on the spot, it's all grace!" Even if he kills you on the spot, His Majesty won't say a word more! It will only say that it is good to kill! ”
"But you're not going to kill me." Yun Cui shouted loudly.
"Why?" Shen Nianzhen asked curiously.
"Because the antidote to our young lady's coma is in my hands." Yun Cui looked at her proudly and said, "If I don't come up with the antidote, in three days, our young lady will definitely die, and then you will still be empty of bamboo baskets, and you won't get anything!" ”
Shen Nianzhen's face couldn't help but change when he heard this.
She was about to speak, when there was a bang, and the courtyard door was slammed open from the outside.
Shen Nianzhen raised his head, and saw that the courtyard was full of people, and Shen Yunlan strode in from outside with a black face holding an unconscious woman in red.
"Where's the antidote?" He glared at Yun Cui coldly and asked.
The eldest wife of the Zhu family, Zhu Xiuyan's mother, younger sister, and cousins, they all heard the conversation between Shen Nianzhen and Yun Cui just now, and at this moment, they all glared at Yun Cui angrily with a cannibalistic gaze, and Mrs. Zhu slapped Yun Cui in the face fiercely: "Okay, you eat something outside the inside!" Where is the antidote! Hurry up and take it out! “
Yun Cui was directly hit by this slap and rolled over and rolled to the ground, and a line of blood slowly flowed from the corner of her mouth.
"Mrs. Zhu." Shen Nianzhen bent down and saluted, with a look of surprise on his face.
The eldest brother went to Zhu's house to pick up people, why did he come back so soon? And there are people from the Zhu family who came back......
"Second princess, today is really thanks to you." Mrs. Zhu left Yuncui for interrogation by others, took Shen Nianzhen's hand by herself, and said with a guilty face: "As soon as the sedan chair left, we found out that something was wrong, and later we found her unconscious in Xiuyan's bedroom. “
As he spoke, he spat at Yun Cui's face.
"We invited the imperial doctor to diagnose Xiuyan's pulse, but we couldn't wake her up, at this time the son-in-law rushed back, and without saying a word, we picked up Xiuyan and left, so we came with us." Mrs. Zhu said with a guilty face: "No one in our family found out about Yuncui's conspiracy, and almost let her succeed!" It's our fault! ”
"Mrs. Zhu, don't say that." Shen Nianzhen was very moved when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "There is something wrong with our Shen family in this matter, my eldest brother failed to find out that the bride was wrong at the first time, which made Yuncui take advantage of the loophole, but now is not the time to talk about this, the most important thing is to quickly wake up my sister-in-law first and find the antidote." ”
At this time, Mrs. Shen asked Mama Zhou to help her out of the back room, and everyone shouted and apologized to each other.
"Xiuyan girl......" Old lady Shen looked at the unconscious Zhu Xiuyan who was held in Shen Yunlan's arms, and was very worried: "This is really suffering......
"Where's the antidote?"
Shen Yunlan hugged Zhu Xiuyan, stared at Yuncui coldly, and asked.
Yun Cui was not lightly beaten just now, and just got up from the ground, she saw Shen Yunlan's gaze, not only was she not afraid, but she also showed a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Little Shen Commander, now is not the time for you to fight me?" Isn't it time for you to promise me that you only love me and don't love our young lady? Now it's ruthless? Didn't you give me this poison? Ask me what antidote I want! :”
"Antidote." Shen Yunlan didn't pay attention to her fabricated accusation out of thin air, and just asked mechanically.
The voice grew colder than the other.
At the end, there was already murder in his eyes.
Shen Nianzhen was very distressed when he saw Shen Yunlan's eyes red, afraid that he would kill someone on the spot on the spot, so he immediately stepped forward: "Big brother, you take your sister-in-law into the house to guard her, I will question Yuncui, and I will definitely ask for an antidote!" Don't worry! ”
"No matter how bad it is, there is still Doctor Ge! Big brother, I'll go and ask Doctor Ge to go! ”
At this time, Shen Yunqi suddenly spoke.
Shen Yunlan's eyes lit up, he turned his head to look at Shen Yunqi, and said solemnly: "Second brother, thank you very much." ”
"Thank you, when I was imprisoned before, if it weren't for your help, I would have died a long time ago." Shen Yunqi touched his forehead embarrassedly when he heard this, then turned around and ran out to invite Doctor Ge.
He's been going there a lot lately, and he's familiar with it.
Here, Shen Yunlan finally accepted Shen Nianzhen's persuasion and went into the house with Zhu Xiuyan, who was dressed in red.
Shen Nianzhen slowly raised his feet, walked in front of Yun Cui, squatted down, looked at her with eye level, and said, "You have also seen it, so many people want you to die, if you don't come up with the antidote, I'm afraid you won't survive today." ”
"If I take out the antidote, I'll die faster, right?" Yun Cui laughed miserably, reached out and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
She just said to Shen Nianzhen that as long as her words were not heard by everyone and the emperor, she would definitely not die.
But now, those words have been heard by so many people, the Shen family and the Zhu family are bound to enter the palace to complain, and they will definitely not let Jiang Ling go.
She, a little slave who was bought by Jiang Ling and turned her back on her lord to seek glory, has long been punished by everyone.
What else does she have to say? It's better to drag Zhu Xiuyan to die together, there is a companion when she is dying, it's worth it!
"Don't say yes, do you? Mama Zhou, search her body! Shen Nianzhen immediately commanded.
"Yes, Second Princess." Mama Zhou immediately nodded in agreement, and then stepped forward quickly.
