142 Born from the same root

You Shi, the second wife of the Shen family, was confused by Ruotang's words, "The princess wants to take Ah He...... Leave? I don't know where the princess is going to take Ah He? ”

"Where?" Ruotang looked at her with a slight smile, "Naturally, I want to leave this land of tigers and wolves, so as to save my poor brother's life." Although she was not born to a fellow mother, this concubine's heart is not as hard as the Shen family. I can't bear to see him die alone in that firewood room - Second Mrs. Shen, this concubine is not discussing with you, this person today, this concubine is going to be decided! ”

You Shi was shocked, and he made trouble a few times since Ruotang returned home, which was shocking again and again, and people didn't know what to do. But now that the Shen Mansion is in charge, if she is really allowed to take people away, how will she explain to the long house and the old lady?

Fortunately, she was also calm, and while making a look at the little maid beside her, she smiled and pretended to be stupid: "The princess is serious - the weather is cold outside." The princess still moved into the house, and if there is anything to say, let's talk about it. You see, you haven't been back for a long time, and everyone in your family misses you. Even the old lady often talks about you, and if she knows that you are back, she will be very happy......"

"Are you sure you're happy, not angry?" Ruotang raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile.

You Shi choked, and her face was a little unpleasant, no matter how she said it, she was also her aunt, even if she was a princess, she shouldn't be so indifferent to her elders. But since this girl got married, she has become more and more unpopular, and she doesn't even pay attention to the husband and wife in the long room, let alone her, the aunt in the next room.

"Look at what you said, it's rare for you to come back......"

"Second Mrs. Shen doesn't have to delay time, Concubine Ben didn't come to trouble the Shen Mansion today, you hand over people to Concubine Ben. The concubine left. Ruotang interrupted her unceremoniously.

Except for Shen Youhe, none of her had a good impression of everyone in the Shen Mansion. thought that she was about to be beaten to death at the beginning, there was no one who pleaded for her to speak for her, and no one visited her afterwards, only Shen Youhe secretly sent her medicine. I even heard that the women who have not been able to marry in the Shen Mansion now have a difficult marriage. The Shen Mansion was also all pushed on her head. It's not like she's never heard of smearing and scolding her behind her back.

She doesn't rely on the Shen Mansion, so naturally she doesn't need to be afraid of the Shen Mansion. As for filial piety or not, who knows when the door is closed? Even if the Shen Mansion spreads today's events, she is not afraid, and the emperor can still let the King of Xiang divorce her because she is not filial? It's great to be grounded in the palace like King Xiang, otherwise he will be reprimanded by the queen mother and the queen in the palace, and it will be nothing if it doesn't hurt his muscles and bones.

Ruotang showed such a tough attitude. You Shi couldn't help but panic: "Princess, Brother He is a descendant of the Shen family, where do you want to take him?" And in this matter, should I discuss it with the old lady and the uncle before making a decision? ”

"Whether you want to discuss it, how to discuss it, that's your Shen family's business, this concubine is still the same sentence, this person today, whether you give it or not, this concubine will decide!" Ruotang hooked his fingers at Cai Qing, Cai Qing immediately lifted the prepared soft chair from the carriage, and carefully spread the long pile blanket, covered Ruotang's legs with a thick blanket, everything was cleaned up, and he ran back to the carriage, and worked with others to carry down the red clay stove, and the snacks and snacks brought were placed in Ruotang's hands one by one for her to kill time.

Seeing You Shi's stunned appearance, Ruotang smiled at her very kindly, "The sun is good today, and this concubine is here to bask in the sun." Second Mrs. Shen has something to do and go busy, so she doesn't have to accompany the concubine. However, Second Lady Shen should remember that Concubine Ben only waited for a quarter of an hour, and when the time comes, if you haven't negotiated a charter, don't blame Concubine Ben for robbing people. ”

Second Mrs. Shen held back her anger and couldn't bear to shoot back: "Please don't forget the princess, you are also surnamed Shen." ”

"Oh, Concubine Ben didn't want to be surnamed Shen for a long time, could it be that after the people of the Shen family murdered my biological mother, Second Lady Shen still wants Concubine Ben to be grateful to the Shen family? Praise you for how good you are at killing? ”

"You don't want to spew blood!" You Shi's pretty face turned pale in an instant, and he stared at Ruotang's eyes with a fierce look, "How can the Shen family do such a thing, I just didn't hear what the princess said, and I hope the princess will be more careful when she speaks in the future." Even if you are a princess, you can't humiliate the Shen family like this! ”

"Is it humiliating, if Second Mrs. Shen really doesn't know, go and ask the respected Old Lady Shen, otherwise your good concubine can also solve your doubts - yo, say Cao Cao Cao is here, Second Mrs. Shen, your housekeeping skills are not very good, but don't even learn the ability to save your life and only learn half a bucket of water, that's not good."

You Shi was about to ask Ruotang what this seemingly warning and reminder words meant, when he heard a fierce howl like a ghost, "Shen Ruotang! You slut still dare to appear in the Shen Mansion, I have to kill you today and avenge my poor Sister Lan! ”

It's just that her cruel words have just ended, and before the person can rush to Ruotang, he was stopped by Jixiang with his outstretched arm, and he threw the person out ten steps away and fell heavily to the ground.

Ruotang didn't raise his eyes to take the freshly cooked tea, smelled the fragrance of the tea and took a sip, before he looked at Mrs. Shen, who was thrown out and got up in embarrassment: "Oops, but I haven't seen you for a short time, why did Mrs. Shen get old like this?" Tut-tut, look at your white hair, that fold on your face, Concubine Ben wants to spit out the overnight meal when she sees it, Lord Shen must not be able to read it, right? ”

Mrs. Shen, who had originally climbed halfway, fell to the ground again in anger, and a maid who finally came back to her senses reached out to help her, but she didn't want her to swing away, "Shen Ruotang, you slut, I'm going to kill you, I'm going to kill you!" ”

"Second Lady Shen heard it? Mrs. Shen kept clamoring to kill the concubine, and the concubine was really scared. Murdering members of the royal family, I don't know if the Shen family's heads are enough to cut off? Ruotang looked at the second lady Shen with a pale face with a smile, "This concubine just said, Second Lady Shen should learn more about the ability to save her life, you don't believe it, and let this crazy Mrs. Shen out to murder this concubine, if it weren't for the fact that this concubine was originally surnamed Shen, this matter would be reported to her father today...... Or, in the hearts of the Shen family, you have valued Princess Guoan? ”

Second Mrs. Shen's face became more and more pale, and Shen Ruolan and Princess Guoan could be said to have died in the hands of this couple. But in the end, the emperor just punished the king of Xiang for grounding, if she really annoyed this aunt today, she would kill a few people in the Shen Mansion to vent her anger, and then the emperor would know...... What if you know, does Mrs. Shen have any national security princesses, do you still need to ask? Low table tennis co-talent.

Although her heart was in turmoil, but Second Mrs. Shen could be picked by Mrs. Shen to take charge of internal affairs, and she was naturally a decisive person, she took a deep breath and ordered: "You send Mrs. back to the room first, accompany Mrs. well, it's cold outside, don't let her come out to be cold." You guys, immediately go to the firewood room and bring the fifth young master over......"

"I see who dares to be presumptuous in my Shen Mansion!" Before You Shi's words fell, Old Taijun Shen, who rushed to hear the news, interrupted him heavily.

The white-haired old lady walked over tremblingly surrounded by everyone, holding a dragon head cane of rosewood in her hand, and stared at Ruotang fiercely with her cloudy but sharp eyes while talking.

Ruotang didn't get up, nor did he speak, but only glanced at Cai Qing.

"Who should I be, it's an old lady. When you see my princess, why don't you salute? Cai Qing asked loudly in her crisp voice, "Old Lady Shen doesn't take my princess in her eyes?" ”

"Presumptuous, how can you talk to a girl here!" Shen Youjun, who was holding Old Taijun Shen, shouted in a deep voice: "Princess Xiang is stepping on the ground, I don't know what is going on? ”

"Oh, Concubine Ben has already told Second Lady Shen just now." Ruotang sat comfortably in the soft chair, just like a superior inspecting a subordinate, "But what I said is not bad, the things on the side can be put aside first, or this ceremony is serious first - this concubine remembers that Mama Zhao has taught you a lesson last time, if you still can't remember, this concubine can also be involved in going to the palace, please ask the queen mother and her old man to arrange a useful upbringing to teach you what is etiquette, how about it?" ”

Not to mention that Shen Youjun closed his mouth, even Old Taijun Shen didn't know how to deal with it for a while. No matter what you say, if you get involved with the Queen Mother, and then you are accused of disrespecting the Queen Mother by this little slut, when the time comes, if you really send a nurturing grandmother, then her old face and the face of the Shen Mansion will really be thrown home.

"In the past, the concubine had the attitude that more things are better than less things, and she didn't care about you, but let everyone think that this concubine is a soft persimmon, and anyone who wants to pinch it can pinch it." Ruotang smiled faintly, "The last time I entered the palace, the Empress Dowager told the concubine that she should be able to stand up first, and the concubine thought that it would be good to lose the face of the queen mother and her old man!" Concubine Ben has said so much, shouldn't you also move? ”

After that, he glanced at Cai Qing, "It's strange cold on the ground, Old Taijun Shen is old, this concubine is sympathetic to her, put a soft cushion for her." ”

Mrs. Shen gasped angrily, obviously her sons were filial, and her daughters-in-law were all in her hands, and the old lady who had been used to calling the wind and rain all her life had never been treated like this, not to mention that this treatment was given by this who had never liked the blood of the untouchables, and she was even more angry for a while, her eyes rolled violently, and she looked like she was about to faint to death.

"The old lady is suffering from a heart disease, hurry up, send the old lady back to the house, find the old lady's daily Bao Xin Dan and give it to the old lady!" You Shi had an idea, and with this shouting, how could Mrs. Shen not cooperate, and as soon as she rolled her eyes, she "fainted".

I saw that everyone was in a hurry for a while, and they were panicked and helped the old lady to leave the place of right and wrong - if you don't leave, do you really stay and kowtow to her?

Shen Youjun was the fastest runner, and he kept shouting while holding Shen Laojun, "Hurry up, hurry up, the soft sedan chair is carried over, and it delays the grandmother, and the master will immediately skin you alive!" Still stunned for what to do, please come to the doctor! Today, my grandmother has a mistake, and I will definitely not give up! ”

The last sentence was obviously for Ruotang.

"Where is the folk doctor compared to the imperial doctor in the palace? Cai Qing, let people take the name of the concubine to the Tai Hospital, be sure to invite the Yin Tai Doctor to come to a trip, Yin Tai Yi has excellent medical skills, and even the Queen Mother and her old people are very respected. With him, you can rest assured that the old lady stepped into the coffin, and Imperial Doctor Yin could also pull people back. Ruotang casually took a candied fruit and ate it.

At this time, if the Shen Mansion went to ask for a doctor, there would definitely be a set of rumors that the old lady Shen's life would not be long, and it was all rumors that the old lady, who was angry with the princess, had a recurrence of her heart disease. And the imperial doctor in the palace, they can't buy it immediately, they are pretending to be sick, naturally afraid of being exposed by the imperial doctor in public, and then return to the palace to the queen mother, but it is really a waste of rice to steal chickens.

Therefore, as soon as Ruotang's voice fell, You Shi hurriedly shouted: "No need, the old lady has already prepared medicine in the heart disease house, and it will be fine if she takes the medicine, so you don't need to trouble the imperial doctor in the palace." ”

"Second Mrs. Shen doesn't have to meet with this concubine, it's just a matter of running errands. This concubine is not too troublesome, is it difficult for Second Mrs. Shen to be troublesome? Ruotang raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "If the concubine doesn't invite the imperial doctor in the palace to testify for the concubine, the former concubine will go out of the door of the Shen Mansion, and it will be rumored all over the capital that the concubine Shen Taijun, who is relying on her identity, has a recurrence of heart disease and is in danger." This crime can't be borne by the concubine, for the sake of insurance, she should have invited Imperial Doctor Yin to come and testify. ”

Second Mrs. Shen, who was left to deal with it, was really distressed, hating why she wanted to take over such a mess, others could hide as far as they wanted, but she wanted to stand here with a smile on her face, but this was not the time for her to feel sorry for herself, and she barely cheered up, "Princess, you are laughing, no one in the house knows that the old lady has a heart disease, and she has had a seizure these days due to bad weather, what can it do with you?" ”

That means they won't bite her.

Ruotang nodded with satisfaction, "Second Lady Shen's words, this concubine can be trusted. If there is any gossip outside, this concubine will not look for anyone, only you! ”

Second Mrs. Shen suffocated her smile, and her heart was even more bitter, and she broke out in a cold sweat, so she had to say: "Please rest assured, the princess, there will be no gossip going out." ”

Although it is not clear what kind of means she has, You Shi is used to knowing current affairs, and she doesn't want to try Ruotang's methods at all.

It's just that in this way, she will not only have to work hard to restrain the servants in the mansion next, but she is afraid that she will offend the long house, and the people in the long house must be eager to spread today's events immediately. I knew that she wouldn't take this hot potato, and now I have to throw it out again, I'm afraid it's difficult.

"Concubine Ben can trust Second Mrs. Shen. But it's been so long, why hasn't Ah He come over yet? ”

You Shi now just wants to send this plague god away quickly, and he doesn't dare to play any tricks, so he hurriedly asks his mother-in-law to go to the firewood room to bring Shen Youhe over. "Princess, Brother He'er is the flesh and blood of the Shen Mansion, you took him away like this, outsiders know about it, I'm afraid that something will be wrong."

"As the eldest sister of Ah He, Concubine Ben feels sorry for him living a life that is not as good as pigs and dogs in this house, and no one cares if he is injured. Others in this house are not distressed, but I, the eldest sister, are very distressed, so I specially took him out of the house to recuperate, otherwise Ah He will be killed one day, and my sister will not know, wouldn't it be more terrifying? Ruotang said slowly, "Just like the original concubine." ”

"Yes, Brother He'er......" Second Lady Shen said with difficulty, "On weekdays, the house takes little care, so he has been wronged and broken off...... I will never let him be wronged again, princess, you are also from the Shen family, you must save some face for the Shen family! If you take Brother Crane away today, ...... outside I don't know what to think of our Shen family outside. Princess, she was born from the same root! ”

You Shi, who was struggling to support, wanted to die at this time, and everyone in this house looked amazing, but as a result, her sister-in-law came out with a monstrous hatred, and it was useless. The old lady also came, and when she heard that she was going to bow down, she ran faster than anyone else.

"If it weren't for the sake of the same root, just the matter of the Shen Mansion plotting to kill the concubine's biological mother would be intolerable." Ruotang hooked her lips coldly, "Isn't Second Lady Shen still talking nonsense as a concubine?" ”

You Shi's heart is bright, even if she didn't participate in Zhou's death before, she must have seen it in her eyes.

Sure enough, hearing that Ruotang had mentioned the death of her biological mother for the second time, You Shi began to feel that this was not a fluke, she really already knew the cause of Zhou's death.

But what does she mean by that? Does she want to let go of the Shen Mansion and not pursue Zhou's death? But that's the revenge of killing my mother.

However, the Shen Mansion also raised her in the end, and thinking about it, she decided not to pursue it because of this kindness, right?

It's just that her words also show that she can not pursue Zhou's death, but if she is unhappy because of the things next to her, then don't blame her for being ruthless?

You Shi thought of this, he really had some despair, what if he forcibly stopped Ruotang and didn't let her take people away, which angered her, and he was angry and pursued Zhou's death? can't let her take people away, otherwise as soon as she leaves this mansion, I'm afraid that rumors will spread outside. It's really a dilemma, and I don't know what to do.

Ruotang saw her anxious sweat beads rolling down in the winter, and finally kindly suggested: "Otherwise, it's okay, Brother He will come out in a while, and the concubine will take the person away directly, and the second lady Shen just tells them that the person was snatched by the concubine, if anyone has any objections, you can go to the Xiangwang Mansion to find the concubine theory - for the sake of the fact that you have never felt sorry for the concubine, the concubine will not embarrass you this time." ”

You Shi couldn't think of a more secure way, so he had to nod in compromise.

After a while, Shen Youhe limped out with his thin and thin body.

His clothes were in tatters, his face was covered with numerous whiplash marks, and because he had not been treated in time, many places had festered and pus. Ruotang has spent a lot of money to make up for him in the past half a year, and his body has been destroyed almost in a few days, so how can she not be angry when she sees it?

"Sister!" When Shen Youhe saw her, the tears that he had held back for several days fell.

"Don't be afraid, my sister picked you up." Ruotang gritted his teeth, and then held back the anger in his heart, "Let's go!" ”
