Chapter 219: Wild Lake Talks
Shen Baiyan's appetite is already very good, and he wants to add an extra bowl of rice in winter.
Meteor had already added a second bowl of rice to Shen Baiyan, and seeing that he was eating so deliciously, Song Zhi felt that Song Ling's matter was not a big obstacle, and asked, "How does my brother respond?" β
"Naturally, I don't admit it, otherwise, I won't even be able to keep that concubine." Shen Baiyan put down the empty bowl and said.
He seemed to be a little hungry today, and Song Zhi saw this and served him another bowl of soup, and said, "Why is your appetite so good today?" β
Shen Baiyan's cold face was also a little softer under such a gentle and homely scene.
He said a little embarrassed, "Don't mention it, when I went to run errands today, I smelled some uncomfortable smells, and I lost my appetite for lunch, so I didn't eat it." β
Since Shen Baiyan didn't want to mention it, it was extremely disgusting when he thought about it.
Song Zhi didn't want to force him, so he returned to Fang Cai's words and said, "If someone finds tangible evidence, what should I do?" β
Shen Baiyan looked at Song Zhi a little strangely, and said, "Isn't the conclusive evidence all in Yuxinlou?" How can others have? Unless that aunt is stupid and jumps out and says that she is the daughter of a criminal minister, but it can't be thought of, right? β
Song Zhi forgot about this stubble, she breathed a sigh of relief, took a sip of soup, and said to Shen Baiyan: "Although that aunt is not so stupid, she has to be beaten and beaten, that is a restless master." β
"I'm afraid it's not your turn to worry about this matter, although my sister-in-law has a kind temperament, she also knows the stakes and the stakes, and I want to come to this aunt, and now she is being beaten."
The porcelain bowl was gently put down, Shen Baiyan picked up the silk handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and put it back on the table.
Song Zhi nodded, seeing Shen Baiyan's hungry look, he smiled and said, "Are you full now?" β
Shen Baiyan ate a little more this meal, he hooked the corners of his mouth, didn't take Song Zhi's ridicule to heart, stretched out his hand towards Song Zhi, and said, "The moon is bright tonight, and there are no clouds, can Mrs. go out for a walk?" β
Song Zhi naturally had nothing to do, and ordered everyone to take care of Chu Ji and Man'er, and went out with Shen Baiyan.
Tengyun hadn't gone out to have fun for a long time, and when he saw Song Zhi and Shen Baiyan appear at the same time, he was so excited that he almost kicked the stable down.
The man who was going to lead the horse on the side didn't notice it, and was kicked with horse manure mixed with straw, and he couldn't be angry with the horse, but just held the reins, looking helpless and depressed.
Song Zhi watched from a distance, couldn't help coughing dryly, held back a smile with difficulty, and at the same time secretly glanced at Shen Baiyan, seeing him covering his lips with his fist, knowing that this guy must also be holding back a smile!
"Go back and freshen up." Song Zhi and Shen Baiyan led the horses, and when they saw the horse slave standing aside with a face full of dung, they really couldn't bear it, so they said.
This manu didn't say much, just bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, princess." Then he left.
Seeing that Namanu had gone away, Shen Baiyan glanced back at him with some curiosity and said, "Where did Amber go in the past?" This manu looked a little like him. β
"I heard Uncle Cui say that Amber died of illness last month, this is his little grandson, it seems to be called An Hua. I used to work in a firewood room. After Amber died, An Hua took over his work, which can be regarded as a son inheriting his father's business. β
The stables in the inner house were too small, and Song Zhi couldn't bear Tengyun to be so aggrieved, so he moved it to the stables in the outer courtyard and let Amber, who was in charge of the stables in the outer courtyard, take care of it.
Amber is a quiet old man, but he has a strange tenderness for horses, and Song Zhi even doubts that he can communicate with horses.
Shen Baiyan was busy on weekdays, so it was naturally impossible to notice the changes of everyone around him in time, but Song Zhi felt that Shen Baiyan was already talented.
When he first married Shen Baiyan, Song Zhi once heard Meteor say that once the maid on duty in the backyard was uncomfortable, so he asked a little sister who was doing chores in the back kitchen to replace him for two hours.
When Shen Baiyan passed by her side that day, he glanced out of the corner of his eye, then stopped, and looked at the maid with a scrutinizing gaze, so frightened that the maid almost fainted.
Later, I learned that it was a substitute and a clean maid in the house, so I left.
Meteor said happily at that time that it was because the backyard was close to Song Zhi's residence, so Shen Baiyan was so concerned.
Song Zhi has weighed Shen Baiyan's temperament all these years, thinking that he is not entirely because of himself, but naturally alert, right?
The city gate had already been closed, Shen Baiyan flashed the token, and went out through the side gate under the curious gaze of the soldiers guarding the city.
There is only a little night breeze today, Song Zhi is wearing a fox fur trimmed Tianshui blue cloak, the fox fur trembles slightly on the side of her face, and she only wears a pearl-inlaid moon-white scarf on her face, revealing a pair of moving eyebrows.
Song Zhi was blinded by the wind and was a little uncomfortable, so he hung his eyes, his eyelashes were long and curled, like the arc of the last quarter moon, and the beauty was silent, like a puppet that had lost its soul, but it was inexplicably eye-catching.
The soldiers guarding the city gate couldn't help but stare at it for a while, and then they were hit in the eyes by a gust of wind blowing from nowhere!
"Oops!" He was caught off guard and let out a cry of pain, tears seeping out uncontrollably, "Where did the wild wind come from?" β
An older city defender on the side didn't dare to speak, but when he saw Shen Baiyan's sleeves raised, he heard the painful cries of his colleagues.
Song Zhi rubbed his eyes, "Huh? What's wrong? She heard the voice of the defenders and was about to look back.
As soon as he turned around, he was kissed by Shen Baiyan in the eye.
Shen Baiyan's lips rubbed against Song Zhi's eyelids, and said lightly, "Are your eyes still uncomfortable?" β
Obviously they are all old husbands and wives, but Song Zhi was inexplicably shy, and she snorted: "It's not uncomfortable." β
Suddenly surrounded by a shallow layer of white mist in front of him, Song Zhi reached out and touched it, it turned out that Shen Baiyan tore a veil on his clothes, blocking Song Zhi's eyes.
Shen Baiyan pinched the horse's belly, and Tengyun Sahuan ran up.
Shen Baiyan didn't talk much today, although he didn't talk much on weekdays, but Song Zhi always felt that he was sullen today, as if he was pressing something in his heart.
The two of them came to an unknown wild lake, the shore of which was full of weeds, and there was only one path, which was trampled on.
A waning moon was quietly cast into the lake, and Song Zhi sighed almost inaudibly when he heard Shen Baiyan on the top of his hair.
"The farmland near this lake is low-grade fields, mostly rocky and sandy, so there are no farms nearby, and it is very quiet." Shen Baiyan spoke.
Song Zhi let out a soft 'um' and leaned on Shen Baiyan.
"The best fields are almost not in the hands of ordinary farmers, they are all in the hands of people like us, and the medium fields depend on luck. Some rich peasants can have one or two acres in their hands, but not too much. Shen Baiyan hugged his wife, smelling the fragrance on her body, and his heart was at peace.
"When I was a child, I thought my father was very powerful, a great hero who stood up to the sky, and I also felt that he knew everything, knew everything, and was the smartest person in the world. But now, I feel that my father is a very naΓ―ve person. There is a reason why the imperial grandfather did not choose him as the heir in the end. Shen Baiyan's eyes reflected the waning moon and said.
"The world is muddy, and it is difficult to clear itself. If it is too clear, it is fragile. Song Zhi knew what Shen Baiyan meant, and spoke.
Her words confirmed Shen Changxing's life.
"Do you know how my father and mother died?" Shen Baiyan had already figured out the meaning behind it.
"Could it be the Emperor?" Song Zhi knew that the death of his in-laws was not simple, and he also knew that Shen Baiyan would not let go of this matter.
Shen Baiyan shook his head, revealing a self-deprecating smile, and said, "It's unexpected, right?" I was surprised that it wasn't his idea. In fact, I can also think that my father's temperament is even more sincere in front of his own brother, even if he is jealous of his talent, he will not take the lives of the husband and wife. β
After the death of the first prince, those who suspected that the cause of death was not simple, naturally pointed the finger at the first emperor. I don't dare to say it on the surface, but there is no shortage of discussions in private.
"So, who is it?" Song Zhi turned around and stroked Shen Baiyan's handsome chin, her fingertips were gentle, as if they were caressing his heart.
"Eldest Princess." Hearing these three words, Song Zhi's fingertips froze, and they stayed in a small recess of Shen Baiyan's jaw.
Song Zhixiu's two thick eyebrows frowned, and said, "I don't understand, what reason does she have for doing this?" β
"She is obsessed with her brother, jealous of her brother and sister-in-law, and vainly tries to kill her." In just a few words, Shen Baiyan uncovered an absurd past.
"It's ridiculous." Song Zhi was so shocked that he was almost speechless, and it took a while to squeeze four words out of his teeth.
Shen Baiyan had a cold mocking smile on the corner of his lips, and said, "The Empress Dowager said that she had a serious illness when she was young and burned out her brain, and I see the same. I actually knew about it for a long time, but I didn't want to expose it, but she said it herself, leaving me with an embarrassing mess. β
Shen Xueran has been living in a simple house these days, and Song Zhi rarely knows about her, but when she heard Shen Baiyan mention it today, it seemed that something had happened.
"Eldest princess, why did she do this, isn't it better to rot in her heart?" Song Zhi couldn't figure it out and asked.
"Maybe it's because people are dying and don't want to die with a secret." Shen Baiyan said coldly.
"What? The eldest princess is dying? "One thunder after another, Song Zhi was a little unacceptable.
"It's another ugly thing, you can't imagine that she was poisoned by a man."
This matter has been well hidden, and even Song Zhi doesn't know that the male pet was still killed by Shen Baiyan, but the poison has entered the lungs and is already difficult to treat.
Although it was Shen Baiyan who cleaned up the mess for her, Shen Baiyan had a thorn in his heart and was unwilling to see Shen Xueran again.
Shen Xueran couldn't sense Shen Baiyan's disgust, and pleaded with Shen Baiyan for a long time, and sent the maids over one by one, handed over letters one by one, handed them to the palace, and handed them to the palace, begging Shen Baiyan to see her.
