Chapter 35: The Plague

Shengguo Mansion, Yanxi Hall.

Sheng Ruyu sent a little guy to the Yongding Marquis Mansion to inquire about the news, and as soon as he returned to the house, he was called to Yanxitang by the Duchess of Shengguo, Sun, and Sun had a few words to ask him personally.

Sun got the news from the inside of the Yongding Marquis Mansion, saying that Sheng Mingyu invited the eldest master of the Xu family today, accompanied her to the Yongding Marquis Mansion, and went to withdraw from the marriage with Shiquan, and in front of the Yongding Marquis Xu's wife, he made a lot of nonsense and scolded Xu and Shiquan fiercely.

Sun was always not at ease in her heart, so she called the little maid who was waiting for her, and after going to inquire, she could rest assured.

Sheng Ruyu also got the news, and knew that her mother had sent the little maid who was waiting for her to go to the Yongding Marquis Mansion to inquire about the news.

After changing her clothes, Sheng Ruyu blushed and went to the courtyard where the Sun family was, Yanxitang.

Sheng Ruyu did not alarm Sheng Guogong and Sun who were talking in the house, but leaned against the door, intending to listen to what was being said in the house.

In the house, Sun and Sheng Guogong were both sitting on the soft couch in the house, Sun lowered his head and asked Chang Ping, the little girl who was sent by her to the Yongding Marquis Mansion to inquire about the news.

"When you went to the Yongding Marquis Mansion, could others ask about your identity? Did you alarm the others in the Hou Mansion?"

Chang Ping is the companion that Sun brought from his mother's house, and he helps his father Sun Steward in the front yard on weekdays, and he is always smart and clever, and Sun likes him very much.

Because Chang Ping is a clever and lively place, when the Sun family inquires about any news, they will send him out.

"Madam, when the villain went to the Hou Mansion, because the villain mixed in under the pretext of delivering food to the Hou Mansion, no one doubted my identity."

"The villain listened to the maid who was waiting in the Xiaohua Hall of the Hou Mansion at that time say that the divorce was proposed by Miss Mingyu in front of Mrs. Hou and the eldest master of the Xu family, although Mrs. Hou was angry, she finally agreed."

"And Shi Gongzi, in the end, wanted to keep Miss Mingyu, and said a lot of things to Miss Mingyu, Shi Gongzi said that he not only wanted to marry Miss Mingyu, but also wanted to marry Miss Ruyu in the house......"

Chang Ping said, looking up and glancing at the change in the expression on Sun's face before he met, he hurriedly stopped and did not continue.

"Shiquan guy wants to marry both! Where in this world is there such a good thing? My family is like jade, even if I marry the prince and the prince of the county, I also make it, who can look down on him as a small prince of the Hou Mansion?"

Duchess Sun of Shengguo listened to Chang Ping's words, and the anger in her heart did not come to one place.

Fortunately, she didn't listen to Shi Quan's rhetoric at the beginning, and easily allowed Ruyu out.

Seeing that Sun didn't speak, his face was flushed with anger, Chang Ping thought about it in his heart, and still told his wife what he had inquired about.

"Madam, according to the news that the villain inquired about in the Hou Mansion, the Yongding Hou Mansion is not a good place to go after all."

"I heard that after the old guy of Yongding Hou Shizhang came back from Liuzhou, he fell ill, and after the official family went out of the palace to see it in person, he asked people to move Yongding Hou to a grange on the outskirts of Beijing, and the people of the Imperial City Division watched alone."

Sun was puzzled and asked again. Why is that? Could it be that that old guy of Yongding Hou did something to anger the official family?"

"Ma'am, things are not as simple as we think. I heard that the Marquis of Yongding, after returning from Liuzhou, was infected with the bloodthirsty plague, and when he saw a living thing, he bitten, and the mother-in-law who was on an errand in the kitchen of the Hou Mansion told me that she saw the Marquis of Yongding go to the kitchen with her own eyes, and bit a few chickens alive, and the neck of the chicken was bitten off by the Marquis of Yongding. ”

"After Mrs. Yongding Hou knew about this, she immediately entered the palace and handed over the news to Ouchi, and the official family personally took the golden gourd out of the palace, so as to restrain the crazy Yongding Marquis."

Hearing Chang Ping say this, the Duchess of Sheng Guo and the Duke of Sheng Guo sitting in the room were all terrified in their hearts.

A man bit three chickens alive, and if this matter is publicized, I am afraid that it will cause an uproar. That's why the official family asked the Imperial City Division to block the news.

Otherwise, as soon as this incident comes out, the whole city of Tokyo will be panicked.

"I heard that in Jiangzhou and Liuzhou, there was a plague. It can turn the dead into alive, and the living into bloodthirsty beasts, and as soon as they find a living person, they will rush to bite and gnaw at it desperately. ”

"To avoid the widespread spread of the plague, I heard that the Taishou of Liuzhou, Jiangzhou, has ordered the city to be locked, but after the lockdown, the entire Jiangzhou has become a dead city overnight."

"Those plague patients who have been killed during the day, after nightfall, come back to life, and as soon as they see a living person, they rush to bite them, and even the Taishou Mansion is lost."

Sheng Guogong suddenly opened his mouth, feeling uneasy in his heart.

What if such a plague spreads to Tokyo?

Sun also saw the worry on Sheng Guogong's face, and hurriedly persuaded comfortingly.

"The defense of Tokyo City is impregnable, and those plague patients will not be able to come to Beijing for a while. The official still went to the palace to drink and discuss with the official's house! ”

"As for the marriage between Shiquan and Ruyu, I think it's over."

As soon as Sun's words fell, he only heard a "bang", Sheng Ruyu pushed open the door and rushed in.

She gave Sheng Mingyu three thousand taels of silver, in order to let her and Brother Shiquan divorce, now that Sheng Mingyu has divorced Brother Shiquan, why can't she marry Brother Shiquan?

Thinking of this, Sheng Ruyu was already crying, and remembered what Fang Cai Sun said, not allowing her to marry Brother Shiquan, and suddenly knelt down in front of Sheng Guogong and Sun.

"Mother, father, daughter want to marry Brother Shiquan! Now that Brother Shiquan and Mingyu have no marriage contract, why can't the mother and father fulfill their daughter and let their daughter marry Brother Shiquan? ”

Sun didn't expect that Sheng Ruyu had been eavesdropping outside the house, and now the reason why he broke in was for Shiquan's sake.

What's so good about that stone spring?

Can you be fascinated like a jade?

But no matter what, the two of them already knew what Shiquan was, so they would definitely not let Ruyu marry to the Yongding Marquis Mansion.

And now that the Yongding Marquis Mansion has lost the backbone of the Yongding Marquis, what will become of it in the future is still inconclusive.

For the sake of her daughter's lifelong events, the Sun family would not let Sheng Ruyu marry like this no matter what.

"Come on, take the big girl down!"

Sun coldly instructed the mother-in-law who was waiting beside him.

The mother-in-law got Sun's orders, so she walked towards Sheng Ruyu, wanting to drag Sheng Ruyu down.

Seeing a few mothers-in-law constantly walking towards him, Sheng Ruyu panicked for a while.

"Father, mother, Brother Shiquan treats me very well, I beg you, just marry me to the Yongding Marquis Mansion!" Without Brother Shiquan, I wouldn't be able to survive in my life! ”

The more Sheng Ruyu said this, the more angry the Sun family and Sheng Guogong became.

"Foolish thing! What kind of thing is his Yongding Marquis Mansion? Our Shengguo Mansion, now with your sister's favor in the palace, the power is already in full swing! Just a small Yongding Hou Shizi, how can he be worthy of my daughter?"

Seeing Sheng Ruyu's more and more unseemly behavior, Sheng Guogong was furious.

Sheng Guogong said a few words to Sheng Ruyu, but Sheng Ruyu did not stop crying, but cried more and more.

Sheng Guogong glanced at his daughter, sighed heavily, turned around and said Sun's words, and immediately left the house.

"Take a good look, this is the good daughter you raised! It's getting worse and worse! ”

In Sun's heart, after all, he still felt sorry for Sheng Ruyu.

looked at Sheng Ruyu, who was crying into tears, and commanded the mothers-in-law.

"Take the girl down, take good care of her, don't let the girl do anything stupid."
