The fact that Xu Shizi and Shen Yafei were going to marry soon spread throughout the capital for a long time.

In addition to being surprised by the hasty marriage date of the two, everyone was not surprised by the marriage of the two at all. After all, after returning from Chengling Temple, the Liwang Mansion did not hide their gratitude to Shen Yafei, and Xu Shizi did not hide his good impression of Shen Yafei. Some people have even seen the two of them go shopping together many times, and they have seen Xu Shizi constantly showing courtesy to Shen Yafei, and passers-by have long guessed when the matter of these two people will be done. I just didn't expect it to be so soon.

However, for Shen Yafei's marriage, some people are happy and some people are unhappy. And this unhappy person is Lin Wanxin from King Ning's mansion, these days King Ning found the silver from outside every time he sees Lin Wanxin, she doesn't have a good face, she sends things to Baiyin, and the silver is all returned as it is, and Baiyin still runs to Chen Xi's yard every day. It is because Baiyin always goes to Chen Xi, and King Ning appears more and more often in Chen Xi's place.

It didn't work to give gifts to curry favor, Lin Wanxin also vaguely told Baiyin verbally to let her go to Chen Xi less, but Baiyin didn't eat it softly and hard, and she still went her own way. Lin Wanxin was furious about this. Since King Ning entered the mansion, he spent most of his time eating in Chen Xi's courtyard, and sometimes called Lin Wanxin together. When the Gu poison attacked, he stayed directly at Chen Xi's place. This was not the case before, before, King Ning would not spend the night at Chen Xi's place.

Lin Wanxin was angry at this time, but when she heard the maid bring such news from outside, she immediately smashed the teacup on the maid. Lin Wanxin is still very good to the people around her, and no one has seen her lose her temper after serving her for so long. The maid was stunned when she saw Lin Wanxin, who was completely different from usual, and the teacup collided directly with her with the tea she had drunk.

The maid was stunned for a moment, but fortunately it was Luyi who kindly asked her to go down to change her clothes first and then come over, so she woke up and retreated in a panic.

"Miss?" After Lu Yi closed the door, he asked Lin Wanxin with concern.

"Why is she Shen Yafei so good?" Lin Wanxin said indignantly, "Obviously, she caused me to be what I am now, she is good now, not only is she the county lord, but now the prince of Xu is going to marry her." It is rumored that there is not a single woman around Xu Shizi, so didn't she marry to the Pi Wangfu and directly become the mistress of the Pi Wangfu? She is just a woman who has no power and no power, no appearance, and no talent. Just saved Princess Lili in Chengling Temple, and he was able to turn a pheasant into a phoenix. ”

Lin Wanxin was so uncomfortable that she wanted to die on the day she got married, but the next day when she heard the maid come to report Shen Yafei's matter, she knew that Shen Yafei had become a laughing stock in the capital again, and after she was so unbearable, she felt much better. She has been living a good life in King Ning's Mansion, King Ning gave her the best people and things in the mansion, although she is not the person in charge of King Ning's Mansion, but the housekeepers and housekeepers in the inner courtyard are at her command, so she is quite comfortable. But I don't know when it started, since she came back from the Chengling Temple, she has been getting more and more unhappy. Ning Wangyou also did not return at night since that time.

Recently, King Ning didn't know where to find the silver back, and he fought against her every day, and also led King Ning to Chen Xi's side. She started to have trouble in King Ning's Mansion, and now there is a happy event for Shen Yafei, which is not to make her feel better. Didn't you save Princess Hail? How can you change your opinion of such a woman? Xu Shizi is too visionless!

Lin Wanxin said the words "Pheasant becomes phoenix", and the corners of Luyi's mouth sneered when she wasn't paying attention. Lin Wanxin said as if her own background was very good, while Shen Yafei's status was very low. She didn't want to think that all the glory and wealth she enjoyed now was snatched from Shen Yafei, she really thought that if she grabbed it, it would be her own? Luyi has been with Lin Wanxin for more than ten years, and she knows Lin Wanxin's mind best. She is now complacent and proud, and always feels that she is a noble person, so she is very proud in her heart, and looks down on those who are not from a good background from the bottom of her heart. Therefore, I can't see that Shen Yafei, who she looks down on, is better off than her.

"Why? She is a woman who has nothing, and who will look at her? Isn't it just that he saved Princess Fei casually, and Xu Shizi still has to promise him? Lin Wanxin sneered. As long as Shen Yafei enters the Liwang Mansion, she can enjoy all the glory and wealth, and Lin Wanxin feels uncomfortable when she thinks about it.

"Miss, don't be angry. Drink saliva first. Green Yi took her another cup, poured her a glass of water, and handed it over.

Lin Wanxin took the water cup and poured two sips, her chest rising and falling

Lin Wanxin couldn't understand why Xu Shizi would marry Shen Yafei, and the people of the Shen family also couldn't figure it out. Since the news they got from the day Lin Wanxin got married, they knew that Xu Shizi was very opposed to marrying Shen Yafei. As long as Xu Shizi is unwilling, Shen Yafei will never be able to enter the gate of the Liwang Mansion, and even the emperor's holy decree will be impossible. Shen Yafei didn't just save Princess Fei in Chengling Temple.

"Could it be that Xu Shizi really fell in love with Shen Yafei because Shen Yafei sacrificed his life to save Princess Li, as the outside world said?" Shen Yuanshan pondered for a long time in the prince's mansion before asking the doubts in his heart.

Shen Yuanshan and Shen Mingshan have always been the prince's people, and they have served the prince for a long time. The prince didn't hide Hua Xi's affairs from them, and found the apprentice of the holy doctor to treat Hua Xi and them, and the prince told them, the only thing he didn't say was that Shen Yafei was the apprentice of the holy doctor.

Therefore, Shen Yuanshan couldn't understand, now is an extraordinary period, the people who arrested Hua Xi back then have not been clarified, and Hua Xi's illness has not been cured, how can Xu Shizi have time to run to the county lord's mansion every day, and now he still has the heart to hold a wedding?

The crown prince and Yan Lijun only laughed silently.

"Haven't you ever known what kind of life Shen Yafei lived in Huancheng?" Yan Lijun couldn't help but ask. He had been in contact with Shen Yafei for a while, and felt that she was not the kind of person rumored to be by the outside world, nor was she the kind of person in the minds of the Shen family. Although she doesn't talk much, her heart is not bad. The Shen family is discarding a treasure, have they never understood what kind of life their daughters and sisters live?

"Since she returned to Beijing, my father has thought she is a little strange again, and people have checked it, but nothing has been found." Shen Mingshan said.

"And then?" Yan Lijun asked.

"What, then?" Shen Mingshan didn't know why.

Yan Lijun really felt sad for the Shen family at this time, didn't they feel the slightest guilt about their daughter and sister like this? The prince's face was not very good at this time.

Or Shen Yuanshan is smarter, when he saw the faces of Yan Lijun and the prince, he knew that they had also sent someone to investigate Shen Yafei, and he knew that what they wanted to say should be that their Shen family let Shen Yafei fend for herself in Huancheng alone, didn't he feel guilty in his heart?

"We were young at the time, so we always thought she could live a good life in Huancheng. Because we have a manor in Huancheng, and Yan'an Temple is also the family temple of our Shen family, no one would have thought that she would have a bad time there. Shen Yuanshan explained.

"After so many years of not communicating, aren't you worried?" Yan Lijun continued to ask.

"There is nothing to doubt about not communicating. She eats and drinks well over there, and can do whatever she wants. What can we doubt about her? When Shen Mingshan heard this, he understood what Yan Lijun wanted to express just now, and helped his brother to defend himself.

"She left as a child of a few years, and your family just left her so far away, and you didn't ask for so many years, don't you think you have done something wrong?" Yan Lijun was dissatisfied with Shen Mingshan's statement, and his tone was not very friendly.

"If we have done something wrong, she will naturally have someone taking care of her in Huancheng. You don't know why she was sent to Huancheng, if you knew, you wouldn't say that! Shen Mingshan's voice also raised.

"Why? What could you do to throw your own flesh and blood into that wilderness? Yan Lijun asked loudly.

"Ah Jun, what's wrong with you today, why have you been helping Shen Yafei all the time?" Shen Yuanshan couldn't understand that Yan Lijun usually didn't like Shen Yafei like them, why was he so angry when he talked about Shen Yafei today?

"How can I help her speak, I just talk about things." Yan Lijun raised his voice and stared straight at Shen Mingshan with his eyes.

Shen Mingshan was also on fire, "Shen Yafei framed Xin'er many times more than ten years ago, and almost lost her life a few times. If she hadn't pushed Xin'er into the lake, Xin'er would have almost woken up, and her father and mother would not have been so ruthless in sending her to such a far place. After she came back, she still didn't change her character, and she also bribed the people of the dark pavilion to assassinate Xin'er. You say such a person, why should our family feel guilty about her? ”

"Framed Lin Wanxin many times and almost cost her her life, did you see it with your own eyes?" Yan Lijun asked.

"Yes," Shen Yuanshan whispered in front of Shen Mingshan, "I saw it with my own eyes on two occasions. Shen Yuanshan looked directly into Yan Lijun's angry eyes and told him very frankly.

Yan Lijun calmed down at this time, and the flames were extinguished: "Did you really see it with your own eyes?" ”

Shen Yuanshan nodded affirmatively, and Yan Lijun didn't ask again. Because he knew that Shen Yuanshan would not lie.

"Why are you so interested in Shen Yafei's affairs today? Why are you always speaking for her? Shen Yuanshan asked gently.

Yan Lijun glanced at the prince.

Then, he said to them very seriously: "It's okay to tell you, but you have to promise, what I told you about today's matter, you must keep it secret, and you must not spread this matter, even General Shen and Mrs. Shen can't say it." I'll tell you. ”

Seeing that Yan Lijun's face was so serious, Shen Yuanshan and Shen Mingshan both nodded.

"Didn't I tell you a few days ago that we found the apprentice of the Holy Doctor and treated Hua Xi and them? The prince and Aning's poison also promised to be cured. ”

The prince had told them about this, and the two of them nodded again.

"Actually, the apprentice of the Holy Doctor is Shen Yafei." The prince interjected.

"What?" Shen Yuanshan and Shen Mingshan stood up in surprise.

"How is that possible?" Shen Yuanshan felt incredible.

The prince said, "Yes, we wouldn't have believed it if we hadn't witnessed it, but it is. ”

"By the way, you said it would be a secret. The less people know about it, the better. If Shen Yafei's identity is known by others, her life is likely to be in danger. Yan Lijun reminded again.

"So, that's why Xu Shizi wants to marry her?" Shen Mingshan asked.

The prince nodded: "This is the way to protect her." She is fighting alone, and once her identity is discovered, it will be very dangerous, so we discussed this method with the prince and the princess. ”

"I, our family ······" Shen Mingshan was too shocked by such news, and never thought that Shen Yafei would have such an identity. He also knew that his family had done something wrong in dealing with Shen Yafei, but he had always used what Shen Yafei had done to Lin Wanxin as an excuse to make him feel a lot better. But if Shen Yafei is the apprentice of the Holy Doctor, then what kind of things did she experience in Huancheng? The two brothers of the Shen family also felt that they were at a loss at this time.

"Then what happened on the day of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet can be confirmed that she did it? She turned out to be the apprentice of the Holy Doctor, so she could develop such rare aphrodisiacs and Gu poisons, right? Shen Yuanshan suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"We don't know, she never says, we don't ask." The crown prince shook his head, "But one thing is certain, that is, the so-called evil disease on the queen's body is from her handiwork. ”

"Isn't the queen sick?" Shen Yuanshan asked in surprise.

The prince shook his head, "Have you ever heard of such a strange disease?" It was she who made people quietly poison the queen. So Ah Jun and I both think that if she really wants to deal with your sister Lin, wouldn't it be good if she just got some of this weird poison that people can't see? Why bother going out of your way and getting yourself in? She could have wiped people out without a word. You see that now this queen is sick, and some people have ever wondered if she has not? Even to this day, no one has seen that the queen is actually poisoned! ”

The prince's words caused the two brothers of the Shen family to think deeply. Indeed it is.

"Even Ah Jun can't tell it's poisoning?" Shen Yuanshan asked incredulously.

"I don't think I'm talented, I really don't have this ability." Yan Lijun said.

"Then she also promised to detoxify King Ning?" Shen Yuanshan asked.

"No," Yan Lijun shook his head, "It was the maid next to her who detoxified A-Ning." ”

Seeing Shen Yuanshan's expression, Yan Lijun knew what he wanted to ask, so he added: "But her maid won't give A-Ning an anti-Gu worm." ”

"Why?" Shen Mingshan blurted out.

"She just doesn't want to anyway."

The prince ended the conversation between them directly and concisely.

The news they got in the Prince's Mansion shocked the two Shen Yuanshan brothers, and when they returned to the mansion, General Shen, Mrs. Shen, and Shen Yaru happened to be there. When the two of them saw them, they thought of Shen Yafei, and their hearts became even more uncomfortable.

"You're back?" Mrs. Shen exclaimed in surprise when she saw them.

Shen Yuanshan saw a large number of gift boxes on the ground, and asked curiously, "Dad, mother, what are you doing?" ”

"Isn't Xu Shizi going to marry Fei'er and Lord Minyi in two days? Your father and I plan to prepare some dowry for her. Mrs. Shen also listened to the report of the people sent by General Shen to Huancheng to investigate Shen Yafei, and she felt that she had done something wrong before, so she wanted to make amends.

I only make up for it at this time, I'm afraid it's too late, Shen Yafei has such an identity, how can she care about such a thing from the Shen family? When Steward Ma was swept out of the house before, Shen Yuanshan still felt that Shen Yafei didn't know how to lift, it turned out that people didn't pay attention to things that were not rare in the Shen family.

"You'll be thrown out if you send it over, right?"

"How so? The Liwang Mansion is so rich, she always has to take something to defend herself. No matter how reluctant she is to ask for the Shen family's things, she still has to gain a firm foothold in the Liwang Mansion, and she also has something to take care of? Mrs. Shen thought very well, "She lives alone outside, she has nothing, only one mansion, and she must not have a dowry." When the time comes, when you marry into the Pi Wang's Mansion, the Pi Princess and the Pi King may not say anything, but the people in the palace will also gossip! ”

"Yes. Mother is right. "Shen Yaru thinks the same as Mrs. Shen, even if Shen Yafei doesn't want the Shen family's things, she still wants her life to be better in the future, right?

"By the way, on the day she got married, both of you brothers were going to send her to get married, you know?" Mrs. Shen said again.

"Okay." The two brothers looked at each other and smiled wryly at each other. They weren't as optimistic as Mrs. Shen.

"How do you guys? Don't want to? Mrs. Shen saw that the two brothers had bad faces, and thought that they were unwilling, "If you don't want to, you have to go, our family can't stand her for so many years, so when she gets married, our family must give her a decent look." ”

Mrs. Shen thought that Shen Yafei had been alone in Huancheng for so many years, and she didn't know what she had suffered, and she didn't know what she had experienced. She felt guilty in her heart.

"Daddy, have you seen her?" Shen Mingshan asked, if people don't agree, and they still go up to meet them, isn't it boring to be self-inflicted.

"Not yet." Mrs. Shen's voice was a little weak, and she was actually not sure whether Shen Yafei would accept her kindness. She didn't have the courage to go to Shen Yafei now, and she was also worried that she would be rejected. Since Shen Yafei left the Shen family, they had met a few times, but every time Shen Yafei saw them, it was like seeing a stranger, and she didn't react at all.

General Shen also felt guilty about Shen Yafei, so after listening to the report of his subordinates, he asked people to directly dispose of Master Meng Zhuang and Shenggu, and reorganize the people in the manor and Yan'an Temple.

"Why don't we go to the county lord's mansion to visit her later?" Shen Yuanshan saw that his parents and sister were so nervous, so he proposed.

"Is that good? I haven't even finished choosing a gift? Mrs. Shen said.

"Then send them all!" Shen Yuanshan glanced at the box on the ground, the contents were all valuable, and it was enough to send them over.

"It's just a gift, which industries haven't been sorted out yet?" Mrs. Shen said.

"Then just take out the ones that I have sorted out before and give them to her." Shen Yuanshan read the previous contract, those are very good industries, and the harvest of shops and farms is very good. Although Mrs. Shen doesn't care as much about Shen Yafei as Shen Yaru and Lin Wanxin, the things she gives her are all on par with the two of them, and she never favors anyone.

"But, she didn't want any of these things last time." Mrs. Shen said.

"Mother." Shen Yuanshan said very solemnly, "We still don't know if she wants our things?" So it's best to talk to her beforehand. If she doesn't want to, we show up directly on the day she gets married, and that's a joke, which is not only embarrassing for us, but she won't be able to see it anywhere. When the time comes, our relationship will only get stiffer and stiffer. ”

"Big brother is right, I also think I have to go first." Shen Mingshan said.

"Okay." General Shen agreed to their proposal, "Then let's go change our clothes first and set off right now." ”

In the county lord's mansion, since the wedding date was confirmed, all things were handled by the people of the Liwang Mansion. The three Huaxi also temporarily moved out of the county lord's mansion. Originally, Shen Yafei said that the county lord's mansion didn't need to be tidied up, but Xu Shizi insisted, and Shen Yafei let him toss.

There are a lot of people coming in and out of the county lord's mansion, and everyone who enters with the gift box will think that it is someone from the Liwang Mansion, so when the Shen family entered, no one from the county lord's mansion cared. It was an old lady in the Liwang Mansion who discovered it first.

"Why did General Shen come to the County Lord's Mansion today?" The old lady's attitude was very indifferent, and she didn't have a good face towards General Shen and the others.
