Chapter 220: The Original Truth
When Su Yunmu heard this, he suddenly became like an eggplant beaten by frost, and his whole body wilted.
No matter how hard he tries, he can't resist the Su family's demons!
"Now, they have no reason." Su Yunmu said in a muffled voice: "No one will take the initiative to marry me again." ”
"You want to drive some." Shen Nianzhen sighed when he heard this.
She didn't know what to say about this matter, her marriage with Rong Chen was very smooth, there was almost no obstruction, Su Yunmu and Shen Nianzhu were a pair, but they had almost encountered all the hardships in the world, and now the Shen family was also uneasy, and they didn't have a good impression of the Su family who deliberately disgusted people, and now even if Su Taishi came to the Shen family in person and asked to marry Shen Nianzhu to be Su Yunmu's main room, the Shen family would not agree.
Besides, the Su family hasn't reached such a desperate time, so they won't understand it at all.
"Shen Nianzhen, can you help me?" Su Yunmu suddenly opened his mouth and begged, "I want to see your sister......"
"That's impossible." Shen Nianzhen interrupted him without hesitation when he heard this, and then said in a faint voice: "Su Yunmu, you are dead of this heart, our family has begun to re-select a suitable husband for the fourth sister, if everything goes well, the marriage will be decided soon, the matter has reached this point, it is useless to say anything, you just want to open some." ”
"Why do you want me to open it?"
Su Yunmu suddenly blushed angrily and said with thick neck, glaring at him: "I have paid so much, and I really love your sister, why should I give up?" With my status, there's nothing wrong with wanting to marry your sister! ”
"I didn't say you were wrong, it was the Su family who was wrong." Shen Nianzhen quickly answered: "If it weren't for your family's non-stop brain moths and deliberately disgusting people, this marriage would have been negotiable, but unfortunately, it was defeated by your family's arrogance." Is it really the Shen family rushing to slap your Su family? ”
Su Yunmu suddenly wilted again.
Shen Nianzhen looked at his devastated appearance, and couldn't help but feel some sympathy in his heart, and slowly said at the moment: "If you want me to persuade the elders in the family, and the fourth sister, it's not impossible to ......."
"Really? That's great! When Su Yunmu heard this, he raised his head suddenly, as if a drowning person had finally grasped a life-saving straw, and his eyes lit up and said, "Miss Shen!" Just help me! If you can really help me with this, I'll tell you a secret! A secret about His Royal Highness the Second Prince! The two of you have had a falling out over this! ”
She had a falling out with Rong Chen?
Is it talking about Rong Chen's secret meeting with Liu Wanqin, the daughter of the secretary of the military department, some time ago?
For this reason, there was indeed a huge disagreement between her and Rong Chen, and in the end they even broke up.
Shen Nianzhen suddenly understood, and said, "Do you know about Liu Wanqin?" ”
Su Yunmu nodded, and then slowly spoke: "Actually, His Royal Highness did secretly meet Miss Liu Wanqin in Wangjiang Tower that day, but his purpose was for the good of your Shen family, because it was your father who begged him." ”
"My father begged him to see Liu Wanqin?"
What is this operation? Shen Nianzhen was instantly stunned.
"You probably don't know." Su Yunmu saw Shen Nianzhen's dazed expression, so he slowly explained: "Lord Liu has a big handle of your father in his hand, when Second Uncle Shen was still in Shangjing, he secretly collected bribes from others to your father, a total of 100,000 taels, which was collected under the banner of your father, and by the time your father knew, your second uncle had already spent all the money......
Shen Nianzhen gasped when he heard this, there was still such a thing!
She didn't even know!
"And then!" Shen Nianzhen spurned Second Uncle Shen fiercely in his heart, took a deep breath and asked.
"Your father couldn't take out so much silver to repay the family for a while, and it just so happened that the person who gave the gift didn't get the expected official position, so he went to the military department Shangshu, and originally wanted to go to the imperial history to impeach your father, but after this matter was known to His Royal Highness, he thought about putting the person who gave the gift and Lord Liu, the secretary of the military department, and Liu Wanqin also saw it because of this incident."
"So, then Lord Liu wants to take the opportunity to give his daughter to His Second Highness as a side concubine?" Shen Nianzhen asked.
"That's what it means."
Su Yunmu nodded and said, "However, His Royal Highness didn't agree in the end, he didn't know where he got the news, and dug out the matter of Lord Liu privately accepting someone else's beautiful concubine, Lord Liu wilted all of a sudden, and then he never mentioned it." ”
"According to this, on the side of Wangjianglou that day, it was the first meeting of His Royal Highness, my father, and that Lord Liu, Miss Liu Wanqin? Is it actually a negotiation? Shen Nianzhen asked slowly.
"yes." Su Yunmu said with emotion when he heard this: "Actually, it's nothing, but your father begged His Royal Highness to tell you about it, and His Royal Highness agreed, so he didn't tell you, so there were so many misunderstandings." ”
I see!
No wonder no matter how she forced her to ask, Rong Chen refused to tell the truth!
It's no wonder that when she had a falling out with Rong Chen, her father came to her and said that he was also in Wangjiang Tower that day.
It's just that she's thinking too much.
Shen Nianzhen thought of what he did at the beginning, and couldn't help but regret it a little.
"However, His Royal Highness has always been quite proud." Su Yunmu suddenly said again: "He said that this is precisely because you care about him. How can a woman who doesn't love him be jealous? ”
Shen Nianzhen: "......"
Hearing this, why did he have the urge to beat Rong Chen with his little fist?
"Now that the misunderstanding has been solved, my heart is much brighter, right?" Su Yunmu looked at her gritted teeth, grinned, and said with emotion: "You and the Second Highness, no one was optimistic about the relationship at the beginning, but no one expected that you could go all the way to today, and you still love each other, and your heart is the same, my sister has always been unwilling to admit this, but I can see that the heart of the Second Highness has actually been on you a long time ago, and she has long been out." ”
This sentence, coming out of the mouth of Su Muwan's younger brother, Su Yunmu, actually had a different feeling.
Shen Nianzhen thought back to this journey, and her past with Rong Chen felt warm in her heart.
In fact, Rong Chen has always been very good to her, and he can be called the best man Shen Nianzhen has ever met in his life.
Marrying him is not a loss at all.
At this moment, Shen Nianzhen finally accepted this matter from the bottom of his heart.
"Thank you for telling me the truth." She looked at Su Yunmu and said slowly: "I promise to help you, but the premise is that your Su family will no longer be a demon." ”
"Don't worry, they're in a hurry now, and they don't have the intention of being a demon at all." Su Yunmu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then looked at her and said happily: "Thanks to those gossips, which destroyed the confidence of my grandfather and grandmother, as well as my father, they are now only hoping that someone will be willing to engage me, and they dare not make any more requests." ”
"So, how many days will your parents come to the Shen family to propose marriage?" Shen Nianzhen raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
"Not necessarily."
Su Yunmu said slowly: "It's not time yet, but if our family really sends someone to your Shen family to propose marriage, and wants your fourth sister to marry me as the main family, you don't have to agree in one go, at least refuse twice first, and finally agree." ”
"You're thinking too much."
When Shen Nianzhen heard this, he immediately laughed sarcastically: "No matter how many times the Su family's family comes to propose marriage, my grandmother, father and third uncle will not agree to this marriage, our family has decided to have nothing to do with you anymore, not just the marriage." ”
"So at this time, I need your help, Miss Shen, please."
Su Yunmu said, suddenly stood up, tidied up his clothes, and solemnly bent down and said to Shen Nianzhen: "Su Yunmu is here to beg Miss Shen to help me this time." ”
Shen Nianzhen looked at him seriously when he heard this, and at this glance, he suddenly found that Su Yunmu, who had always had clear eyebrows, had lost a lot of weight during this period of time, and he didn't know whether he was sad or drinking.
But it seems that he is very serious.
"Okay, for the sake of you untying the knots in my heart, I'll help you this time." Shen Nianzhen looked at him and smiled slightly, and said, "However, I will only open my mouth to persuade when your family comes to propose marriage for the third time." ”
"That's enough!" Su Yunmu looked grateful when he heard this.
"Don't drink so much of this wine in the future." Shen Nianzhen glanced at him again, frowned slightly, and said, "Drinking and making mistakes, don't you know?" ”
"Got it, got it! I'm never going to drink again. Su Yunmu was overjoyed when he heard this.
This is what people who have already taken him as their own have seen it! If he is a person who has no relatives and no cause, why should he care how much alcohol he drinks? Miss Shen is indeed a kind-hearted person, don't look at the hardness of what she says.
At this point, Shen Nianzhen's purpose of coming to Wangjianglou was achieved, and the time was almost up, so she drank the tea in the cup and got up to say goodbye.
Su Yunmu eagerly sent her out, and repeatedly admonished: "Don't forget what you promised me." ”
Shen Nianzhen looked at his worried look, and couldn't help but want to laugh: "Am I the kind of person who breaks his word and gets fat?" Don't worry, since I promised you, I will definitely do it, provided that your Su family really sends someone to the Shen family to propose marriage. ”
"Definitely."
Su Yunmu replied categorically.
Shen Nianzhen smiled, waved his hand at him, and led Ruhua downstairs, while Dongchen followed her step by step, without asking a word.
The people downstairs watched Shen Nianzhen enter Su Yunmu's box, stayed for a while and came out again, which immediately aroused the reverie and imagination of many people, thinking that there was something between Shen Nianzhen and Su Yunmu, but soon someone poured a basin of cold water on his head: "Don't be stupid, didn't you see that it was the guard of His Royal Highness the Second Prince?" Maybe His Royal Highness sent Miss Shen to see Second Prince Su, you guys are too boring. ”
Only then did everyone think of Dongchen, and they looked at Dongchen who was majestic and followed behind Shen Nianzhen one by one, and they all had nothing to say.
Shen Nianzhen went all the way out of Wangjiang Tower, and when she got into the carriage, she was in a very happy mood.
I was just about to tell the coachman to go to Guixiangzhai to buy snacks, but I heard a voice outside: "Miss Shen, our Royal Highness is invited." ”
It's the sound of fish intestines!
The fish intestine that almost burned her and Rong Chen to death in the dense forest on the outskirts of Beijing!
As soon as Shen Nianzhen heard this voice, his heart suddenly sank.
Immediately, she slowly stretched out her hand and lifted the curtain to look out, and sure enough, she saw that the windowsill on the second floor of a teahouse opposite Wangjiang Tower was open, and the beautiful face of the eldest prince Rongyao was in the window.
Shen Nian's heart suddenly felt as disgusting as swallowing a fly.
She really couldn't understand that she was such an elegant and handsome prince, but she gave people this feeling.
In addition to her nausea, she also had a hint of fear.
"I'm sorry, our young lady doesn't see a foreign man." At this time, Dongchen stepped forward, glared at the fish intestines viciously, pulled out the sword on his waist with a brush, and shouted loudly: "With me here, you are rude!" ”
Under the public, the door of Wangjiang Tower is like a cloud of guests, and it is very lively, which immediately attracts countless people to look here, and many people point at Dongchen and fish intestines.
Shen Nianzhen ignored this, she always felt a chill down her spine, she mustered up the courage to look at the window sill opposite, only to find that the window was closed.
It seems that the eldest prince wants to see her, but he doesn't want to make it so eye-catching.
Then I can only apologize, Shen Nianzhen showed a faint smile on his lips, and then beckoned Dongchen to come back and asked the coachman to set up the car and leave.
The fish intestine stepped aside, and his two eyes stared coldly at Shen Nianzhen's carriage without blinking.
……
The moment he returned to the front of the Shen family, when he got out of the carriage, Shen Nianzhen breathed a long sigh of relief.
Great, today was finally a thrilling day, and the mission was successfully completed.
She also learned a truth that she had never known before.
I really didn't expect that Second Uncle Shen's family had been away from Shangjing for so long, and they could still cause such a big trouble, she used the contradiction to drive the Second Uncle's family out of Shangjing, which was really a wise move.
But does Old Lady Shen know about this?
The moment he stepped into Chunhui Courtyard, this thought suddenly popped up in Shen Nian's heart.
But the next moment, she dispelled this idea of herself, no, Shen respected the old lady so much, it was absolutely impossible to tell her and make her sad.
But at the moment when he collapsed into Chunhui Courtyard, Shen Nian was really dumbfounded.
Because, she saw a person who was absolutely impossible to see, the big palace maid Ruyi beside Concubine Qi.
The indigo silk palace dress, as well as the lofty look on Ruyi's face, all made Shen Nianzhen quickly wake up from joy, she was very confused, what did Concubine Qi send someone to the Shen family for? To show off your might? To show off? Or chase her home and reprimand her?
But the next moment, Shen Nianzhen changed her mind, because she saw that on the table next to Ruyi, there were long and long rewards, all covered with red cloth, I don't know what was placed underneath, but I thought it was some food supplements and jewelry or something.
The things that the lady in the palace gave were nothing more than these.
"The slave has seen Miss Shen." The moment Ruyi saw Shen Nianzhen, he immediately put away the arrogance on his face, and his expression revealed a trace of joy, and he immediately stepped forward and bent down to salute Shen Nianzhen.
Originally, she was a first-class palace maid in the palace who didn't need to make such a big gift to Shen Nianzhen, and the reason why this was the case could only prove that she really valued Shen Nian.
Value? In the past, didn't the people in Langhuan Palace all look above the top, and they couldn't look down on her Shen Nianzhen at all?
All of this is led by Concubine Qi, the master of the Langhuan Palace.
"This is ......" Shen Nianzhen glanced at her with some confusion when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Sister Ruyi, please get up, I don't know if I will visit today, what are my orders?" ”
She said politely, and the smile on Ruyi's face became more and more intense.
Wen Yan replied with a smile: "The slave maid came here today, naturally under the order of Concubine Qi Niangniang, to send supplements and jewelry to the young lady, Niangniang said, thanks to you in the palace that day, His Royal Highness the Second Prince turned the corner and avoided the bad luck of being wrongly degraded out of Beijing, Niangniang was grateful, so she ordered the slave to send supplements, hoping that Miss Shen could accept it regardless of her previous suspicions." ”
All in all, it was because of Shen Nianzhen's actions in the palace that day that Concubine Qi finally changed.
I'm going to accept her, too.
But Shen Nian didn't have a trace of feeling in his heart.
You must know that she invited Doctor Ge to rescue Concubine Qi from her critical illness in the past, but this failed to make her accept herself from the bottom of her heart, and now she can change her mind just by saving Rong Chen once?
Impossible.
All of this is fake, Concubine Qi pretended to be trying to make Rong Chen change her opinion of her.
What does this have to do with Shen Nianzhen himself? She is just a tool used by Concubine Qi, using her to curry favor with Rong Chen.
It's no wonder that Shen Nianzhen thought about Concubine Qi so complicated, since she got engaged, after so many things happened, she put away her senseless kindness to Concubine Qi, and treated this woman only politely.
"Sister Ruyi's words really hurt me."
Shen Nianzhen smiled when he heard this, and said lightly: "That is also His Royal Highness the Second Prince, who is blessed and lucky, he should not have been demoted from Beijing in the first place, I just did my own thing, Niangniang is so loving, it makes me ashamed." ”
These words are polite, and people can't find a flaw.
However, when Ruyi heard this, the smile on her face became more and more intense, and she laughed with Shen Nianzhen for a while, asking some of what she did on weekdays, and then said goodbye and left.
Mrs. Shen watched this scene with a smile from beginning to end, and when Ruyi and the others left, she also got up and sent them to the gate of the courtyard.
After coming back, she held Shen Nianzhen's hand and said with emotion: "It's a good thing that Niangniang can put down her body and take the initiative to reconcile with you!" My grandmother was really relieved to see all this. ”
