Chapter 4: The Daughter Returns
A simple-looking carriage drove smoothly on the road, but the driver was a young man with a simple smile on his face, driving the carriage forward smoothly.
In the car, a girl dressed as a maid in moon-white clothes said softly:
"Miss, we will be at the Kyoto City Gate in half an hour, and we will be able to enter the city soon."
"Hmm." A faint voice sounded, the voice was not high, but it was extremely good, and people couldn't help but quiet down and distinguish it carefully.
The interior of the car is extremely comfortable, and all kinds of items are gorgeous and exquisite. A young girl is half-leaning on a pillow embroidered with delicate peonies to read a book, her eyelashes are long and thick, casting a faint shadow on her flawless white jade face, looking quiet and beautiful.
"Miss, this road is not very smooth, it's better not to read, it's not good to hurt your eyes." The white-clothed maid kneeling beside the girl spoke.
"It's rare for us to be quiet in the future, and it's good to be able to read a book for a while at this time. Bizhu, I sent a message to the Shen family. ”
"Miss Hui, it's already been delivered." The maid in a dark green flash said as she sorted out the scrolls in the carriage, "It's just that neither the lord nor the eldest lady have replied." ”
The girl hooked the corners of her lips, and with a smile in her eyes, she was obviously in a good mood. She is Shen Ninghua, who has been missing for more than half a year: "I'm just a neglected daughter, what can they give when they know that I want to go back?" ”
"Miss will definitely surprise them when she goes back this time."
Shen Ninghua smiled even deeper, there seemed to be coldness in his eyes, but when he looked closely, there was nothing: "Hehe, I'm afraid it's more surprised than happy." ”
Just judging from her appearance, it is estimated that no one will associate the beautiful girl in front of her with cream-like skin and peach blossoms and the black girl before. Because one is as black as mud and the other is as beautiful as a flower, there is really a difference between the two.
Shen Ninghua looked at the scroll, but his eyes slowly emptied. I was bitten by an inch snake, but when I woke up again, I saw the poisonous mother-in-law. In fact, she didn't know the name of the poisonous mother-in-law, but she called her that because she had been tested on various poisons for most of the past six months.
When she woke up that day and just opened her eyes, she was indeed startled by the scarred face of her poisonous mother-in-law, and after getting along with her for a long time, she felt that that face was much more pleasing to the eye than Shen Linghan's unparalleled beauty.
In addition to feeding her various medicines every day, the poisonous mother-in-law no longer has any communication with her. Therefore, although she has been together for nearly a year, she doesn't know why the poisonous mother-in-law lives in the valley, only that she is proficient in medical skills, and she seems to have an inextricable deep hatred with the Zhao family in Kyoto, because she accidentally found a jasmine tattoo on the ankle of the poisonous mother-in-law, such a pattern is only available to women of the Zhao family, it is tattooed at birth, and the poisonous mother-in-law always looks at the pattern with hatred.
Bai Wei saw that she was stunned, and gently reminded: "Miss." ”
Shen Ninghua came back to her senses for a moment, put down the book in her hand, and looked at the four girls waiting beside her, her eyes darkened slightly:
The four girls in front of her are named Bai Wei, Bizhu, Hongling, Qingque, all of them were brought out by her from the valley, originally several people were brought into the valley by the poisonous mother-in-law to test the medicine, when they first entered the valley, they were either seriously injured or seriously ill and difficult to treat, the poisonous mother-in-law threw them all to herself, she endured the pain of being tested by the poisonous mother-in-law, while reading the medical book all day and night, only a few people were rescued little by little.
The four of them also understood Entubao, and after the injuries on their bodies were cured, they all begged to stay by her side, and she just needed to hire people, so they agreed to let them stay. The poisonous mother-in-law didn't say anything, and she didn't try the medicine with them again after they became her maids. Later, she saw the different abilities of several people, and she also vaguely understood that the poisonous mother-in-law brought them into the valley, probably just to be a girl for her.
The carriage continued to move smoothly, and the most lively Hongling looked outside through the gap in the curtain, and said happily: "Miss, Kyoto is really different, the women here are really beautiful." However, they are not as good-looking as Miss. "Her young lady is the best-looking!
Shen Ninghua smiled, stretched out his fingers and looked at it carefully, thinking that he was born with dark skin and ugly skin, but he didn't know that this was caused by being drugged from his mother's womb.
In order to restore this appearance, she is simply worse than dead for most of the past half a year...... What makes her even more uncomfortable is that this poison was contracted when her mother was pregnant with her, so it is worth exploring that her mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to her, and her mother, as the wife of the prime minister, has a decree on her body, how many people can poison her when she is pregnant?
When she heard the news from the poisonous mother-in-law, she immediately thought of Shen Dong's current steproom, Zhao Yunxiang, and only she had the motive to drug her mother. When she returns to the Shen family this time, she will definitely find out.
The noise outside the carriage was loud. Shen Ninghua closed her eyes, suppressed the churning emotions, and breathed a sigh of relief, only then did she feel that she was really alive, not in the dark cold palace, nor in the valley in dire straits.
Suddenly, the neighing of the horses began, and the carriage shook violently and stopped.
Bizhu and Bai Wei stepped forward to protect Shen Ninghua from left to right, and Qingque and Hongling jumped out of the carriage with clever movements. Not long after, Qingque came back and forth: "Miss, a horse has been frightened, it has been stopped, and it will be a quarter of an hour before it can reach the Shen Mansion." Qingque was rescued from serious injuries at that time, and she only later learned that this girl who didn't talk much was extremely strong in martial arts.
"But what's unusual?"
Qingque frowned and replied, "Miss Hui, I didn't see anything abnormal, but the horse appeared strangely, and I didn't find the owner of the horse." ”
"Well, it's okay, let's go." There was a faint smell of blood from the tip of his nose, and Shen Ninghua secretly thought in his heart that he had just entered the city when he encountered a startled horse, which was a coincidence.
Upstairs in Qinyang, Chu Junyi, who was dressed in a brocade robe, had slightly bright eyes, and the folding fan he was holding in his hand tightened and tightened, and it was not until the carriage left that he drank all the wine on the table, got up and said to a man in a green shirt: "Big brother, I have some things to go first." ”
The man in the green shirt had a grim face, and frowned when he heard this: "It was the eldest lady of the Shen family sitting in that carriage just now?" Jun Yi, you have been inquiring about the Shen family for most of the past half a year, for this woman? ”
"It's a long story, so don't worry about it, big brother." After speaking, he went straight downstairs and walked in the direction of the Shen family, whether it was the black girl or not, it was better to determine with his own eyes.
