Xie Shuying looked at the dowry neatly stacked in the room, and her eyes were full of dazzling red. She tore through a white cloth and covered several large camphor wood boxes, and the arrogance instantly returned to peace.

An Yue gently held Shuying's arm, trying to persuade her not to be sad about it, but she didn't know how to speak.

On the fifth watch, the Huaiyong Marquis Mansion of Yangshan in Jiangbei sounded the cloud board. No one expected that when he was immersed in a cloud of joy in the upper and lower mansions, the prince Lu Cheng passed away suddenly.

It was almost noon, the torrential rain was pouring down, and the fast horse rushed to Shentu Mansion. Shentu Town was out as a guest at that time, and Shuying was accompanying Mrs. Xu to do embroidery in the house, and the embroidery was her dowry satin, a pair of mandarin ducks in the spring water.

After Mrs. Xu learned the news, she hesitated when she looked at Shuying, and Shuying had already guessed that it was a bad thing.

She felt strongly that this was no accident.

finally settled down in Jinling, and now it is about to become a rootless drifter, and in addition to anger, it is inevitable to be stunned.

"Girl," An Yue cautiously tested Shuying's attitude, "shall we let Madame say another kiss?" Huaiyong Hou didn't have anything to do with us, but it was only at that time that the lord and his marquis got acquainted by chance, so they decided to marry......"

Shuying patted the back of An Yue's hand, "I don't know." It's just that it's not worth the delay for so many years. First, the Marquis of Huaiyong's Mansion accepted my Xie family's dowry at that time, and this family cannot be destroyed; Second, the daughter of a criminal minister who killed her fiancé, people inquired, who is willing to ask for it, who dares to ask for it? ”

She knew very well that her stepmother, Mrs. Xu, had experienced family changes in her early years, and she was a master who was bent on seeking a safe life. Ren is Shentu Zhen spoils himself like his own sister, and he must not forget his identity as a sensitor.

But she can't just accept her fate, she still has to avenge her father and seek a good future for her younger brother!

If you stop at the blessing of the Shen Tu family, you will never be able to fulfill your ambition; If you take another step forward, there may be a glimmer of life.

"Let's go to the Huaiyong Mansion."

An Yue couldn't believe that these words came from Shuying's mouth, and stared at Shuying in a daze.

Shuying lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes were stained with tears, covering his red eyes, and his tone was still firm: "You can't stay here forever, let's find yourself a place to live!" I will never come back. ”

It was the first time she had made such a big decision, so big that even she couldn't stand it, clenched her teeth, and her hands trembled.

Jinling is a rich and peaceful place, and there are very few women who are willing to watch the widows; If it is for the Marquis of Huaiyong's mansion to observe the festival, it will be even more sensational.

She told Mrs. Xu about this decision, and when she turned around to go back to the room, Mrs. Xu took her hand hard behind her and said, "Shadow girl, are you crazy!?" Do you know how many people will laugh at this? Can't go to the Huaiyong Marquis Mansion! Don't go! I promised your father to take care of you and watch you get married! ”

Shentu Mingyuan, the head of the Shentu family, was unjustly imprisoned and committed suicide in prison, and Mrs. Xu raised Shentu Town alone to become an adult, knowing the pain of being a surviving person, she was reluctant to follow in her footsteps.

"If I don't go, what else can I do? If I don't go, how can I explain it to my father? If I don't go, how can I repay my aunt and brother for their deep kindness to me? Isn't it possible that I want to live in Shentu's house for the rest of my life? Shuying burst into tears, but he stood firmly under his feet, and his words were neither humble nor arrogant.

Mrs. Xu was stunned. This is the first time that Shuying has confronted her in the five years of Shentu Mansion. At this moment, she suddenly felt that Xie Shuying was no longer the poor and delicate little girl she was when she first arrived in the mansion, and suddenly she had reached the age of the general, and her body had grown a lot, and she didn't know when she was as tall as herself; It's just that the demeanor and backbone have never changed.

It was a gift from her biological mother, Tang.

Mrs. Xu has been with the Tang family for a period of time, and judging from her humble background, her demeanor is generous and dignified, and she is also decisive and calm, revealing her good upbringing. Now that her daughter has grown up, she is also carved out of a mold.

"You're also a decent child!"

Shuying never forgot her duty, and always reminded Mrs. Xu with cautious actions that she was only favored by Shentu Mansion, and this kindness was to be repaid in the end.

Seeing that the time was almost ripe, he was interrupted by this sudden funeral.

Not long ago, Shuying received a letter from her father who was far away in Sichuan and Shu, and while taking care of Shuying before the marriage, her father actually told her a secret that had been sealed for a long time - the encounter between the Shentu family and the Xie family was more or less related to the Huaiyong Marquis Mansion in Yangshan!

It's just that Xie Sheng did not elaborate on the connection in the letter.

Lu Xie and Liu Sun are the four major families of Jinling. The Huaiyong Hou Lu family is the head of the four families, and the power is extraordinary, if she misses this opportunity, all the truth will be wiped out by them, and there will be no trace of it.

Whether it is beneficial to himself or not, he must seek justice for the Xie family and the Shen Tu family. This is the only thought she has in the world.

Shentu Town has regarded Xie Sheng as a role model since he was a child, and is determined to be "the same innocent imperial history as Uncle Xie Shi", and now he has taken on family affairs and is also running for it. She believed that her ideas would be understood by Shentuzhen.

In order to show her determination, Shu Ying took advantage of Mrs. Xu's inattention, picked up scissors, and cut the brocade she was still embroidering just now between the two mandarin ducks.

It would be nice if her relationship with the Marquis of Huaiyong could be cut in two so easily.

Shentu Zhen discussed the scientific expedition with his friend Mo Sheng's house, and when he heard the news of the Marquis of Huaiyong, he left Mo Sheng and rushed home without looking back. He was worried that his sister would be sad because of this, and wanted to comfort her, and then find another plan, but his mother saw him and sobbed while talking.

What such a disobedience!

I thought she would close the door to greet customers, but when she arrived at her house, she was standing behind the rain curtain under the porch waiting for him.

couldn't help but say, Shen Tuzhen shook the umbrella in his hand and asked her, "Why?" Are we treating you badly? ”

The little girl trembled with fright from the raindrops thrown out of the umbrella, raised her head, and met Shentu Zhen's angry eyes, "No ......"

No matter how calculating she is, she is still a little afraid that her brother will be angry with her.

Shen Tuzhen looked at the sparkle in her eyes, and his heart softened, but he still couldn't understand this girl's thoughts, "Why!" ”

In Shuying's heart, Shentu Town is like a brother and a father, and he has been able to breathe for a moment in the storm in the past few years. Shen Tu Zhen treats her with sincerity, and never lets her talent be wasted: Mo Sheng said that the Mo family had many daughters and opened a girls' school, so he asked her to follow the girls of the Mo family to study etiquette, and often asked her about her homework on weekdays; The second always takes care of her daily life in her spare time, and she is the first to think of her when she gets any good things, and the two enjoy it together.

Therefore, at this moment, she wants to leave Shentu Mansion, and if she opens her mouth to him, her lips seem to be sealed by something. is used to living a stable life, and anyone will be reluctant to face this situation.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for lunch, and Shuying knew that he would not leave the big Buddha in Shentu Town today, so he asked An Yue to prepare two pairs of dishes and chopsticks.

"Brother, I know you're going to be mad at me. But no matter how angry you are, I have to go. In the letter sent by my father a while ago, Uncle Wenguang and he were victimized and wronged, and I am afraid that they are all related to the Lu family......"

She observed his expression while serving Shentu Zhen's vegetables, and sure enough, he turned from anger to suspicion, and his two eyebrows were almost twisted together.

Shen Tuzhen picked up the chopsticks, but he didn't have the heart to eat, "They see that you are so weak, they will eat you sooner or later!" We can't come up with evidence for a while, so we should think about it in the long run, and you don't need to do it. ”

Shuying sighed slightly, lowered his head, and said, "Don't miss the opportunity." The Hou Mansion was full of people at this time, and it was the time to be able to listen to something, and if it was too late, I was afraid that I would not be able to enter again. I knew that my brother would never dare to promise me that he would find any clues, so I was the most suitable person. Although there are tens of millions of people, I will go. ”

Although there are tens of millions of people, I will go!

This sentence from "Mencius: Gongsun Choushang" is often on Xie Sheng's lips. This is the character of Yushi, and it is his lifelong belief and pursuit.

Shen Tuzhen was very stunned, it turned out that these words came out of the girl's mouth, and they were also golden and jade, which was shocking. His little girl, as if she had suddenly grown up today, became a slim girl, bold and intelligent, and ambitious.

For his father Zhaoxue, it is also his wish in this life. What a joyful event!

But she broke into the tiger's den and dragon pool alone, how could he rest assured! Could it be that his efforts over the years should be in vain at this moment?

Tearing of the head is generally painful. Her appearance from childhood to adulthood has emerged little by little, and her current appearance coincides. Shentu Town has nothing else to worry about, Xie Shuying is his only treasure, and because of his ill-fated journey, he is quite similar to his own experience, so he cherishes it doubly.

He is also good friends with Lu Cheng, and he didn't think that she would stay away from him because of marriage; It's just that the situation is changing, and no one can predict such a result.

"Go ahead!"

Shentu Zhen agreed so quickly, Shuying was still a little in a trance.

"If I know that you are being bullied there, I will snatch you back after I set foot in the Huaiyong Mansion, and then lock you up for seven hundred and forty-nine days, and only give you gruel! See if you dare to venture again! ”

Shuying's nose suddenly became sour, "Brother, I'm afraid ......"

"Ah Ying, don't be afraid! My brother has always been here, and if you feel like you can't stay there any longer, you can come back at any time! We are not afraid of jokes, my brother will raise you for a lifetime! Did you hear that? Shen Tu Zhen took her into his arms, still comforting her as before.

Listening to this, she burst into tears.

As if they were really going to get married, from now on, no matter how close the two are, they will have to be distinct.

It wasn't until all this happened to her that she really understood why the girl would cry so much when she was about to meet her husband's house, just like the second girl of the Mo family, even if she was only two or three miles away. That's not cowardice, it's nostalgia! Since then, it has changed from one family to two families; What the future is, you have to rely on your own planning.
