Chapter 60: Showdown

Shen Shuyan said cautiously: "You say! ”

She knew that today's batch was inevitable.

It's just that Wei Changying didn't immediately sink his face and scolded her, but said calmly: "Your father doesn't like you for some reason......"

Shen Shuyan's face changed suddenly, and she said bluntly: "Auntie, can we not talk about this?" ”

"You see, I've sent everyone away now, and you can't stand it when I mention it to you so angrily. In the future, if someone has bad intentions and deliberately tells you this, what will you do? Wei Changying shook his head and said.

"There are three uncles and three aunts here, who dares to mention it?" Shen Shuyan smiled self-deprecatingly.

Wei Changying shook his head and said, "In my mother's house, of course we won't let you suffer any more grievances." But you go out of the cabinet later, in case you have a concubine or sister-in-law, as well as in-laws and elders...... What are you going to do if they bring it up? ”

Shen Shuyan showed a hint of boredom between his eyebrows, and said, "I don't want to get married." ”

"Child's words." Wei Changying sighed lightly, "How can there be a girl whose parents don't marry when they are older?" ”

"Why not?" Shen Shuyan is familiar with poetry and books, and immediately wants to give examples.

It's just that Wei Changying waved his hand to stop her, and said: "Okay, let's not talk so far, just say this right now-don't tell me anything poetic or not, these days, which line of poetry you have written is not sad and sad?" What else do you need to find in the garden? And you're going to walk in the snow and chant poetry, what are you going to do to keep no one from following? If it weren't for the people in charge of the garden from afar, I wouldn't have known you were so impertinent! ”

Shen Shuyan has always been sensitive, so Wei Changying pays attention to the wording when talking to her, and never says the words of reprimand until a certain extent.

Now directly saying that she is not responsible is tantamount to scolding her.

Shen Shuyan knew that he was at a loss, his face was red and white and speechless, only silent.

Wei Changying said again: "Your mother and sisters are gone, and a father still treats you like that, we all know the bitterness in your heart." It's just that have you ever thought about what good it is for you to toss yourself like this now? ”

Shen Shuyan pursed his lips and said, "I'...... I just wanted to see the lake in the morning. ”

"You think you've tormented yourself to the point of being couched, and I'm going to put it mildlyβ€”you've just made yourself really dying, with only one breath left. Do you think that your father will regret it and will immediately return to Xiliang to visit you?! Wei Changying looked at her, there was pity and sigh in her eyes, but the words were like knives, so that Shen Shuyan suddenly didn't have time to hide it, and immediately rolled down tears!

Wei Changying looked at her and burst into tears, but she didn't stop, and still said coldly: "Do you think he will regret it?" Will you leave the army alone and come back? Will you pity your only daughter? Will you regret treating you that way? Will you wake up and you're his only child now?! ”

"Wrong!" Wei Changying sighed deeply, "Let's not talk about the current situation, it is impossible for your father to come back in a short time." It's that he can come back...... He...... Probably not coming back! ”

"If he really cares about you, the only daughter, he won't leave you behind these days!"

Shen Shuyan looked at her, and suddenly "wow", and cried!

"You're tormenting yourself like this now...... It's only us in my eyes, your uncle and aunt, and your eldest sister who has married to the Central Plains, and I was worried about you before leaving......" Wei Changying leaned down and held up her cheeks, Shen Shuyan's tears flowed onto her fingers, dripped into her wrists along the palms, at first they were hot, then warm, and then cold...... is like Shen Shuyan's deeply buried heart, hoping that Shen Yushi will turn his heart and love himself.

From the initial unwillingness, to the later disappointment, to the current almost despair, but I still can't let go......

"Who can be happy in the world?" Wei Changying slowly wiped her face with a handkerchief, and her voice was soft and soft, "I know that even if all of us who are uncles and aunts treat you as our own daughter, your father's snubbing of you will be irreparable after all." But if you think about Xi'er, she has no father and mother, so she can only grow up with your eldest aunt...... At least your father is still there, isn't he? ”

But I'd rather he wasn't there, but he was still the father who would hold me and smile at me in my memory!

Shen Shuyan couldn't help but shed tears in her eyes - as if sensing her thoughts, Wei Changying stopped wiping her tears and said word by word: "You know that Xi'er has been trying to save her private house because she heard the sentence 'money can make ghosts grind', thinking that one day she will buy back the lives of her father, mother, and younger brother...... If she was asked to choose, why wouldn't she want to have a father who would beat her and scold her, but at least he was still alive? ”

"I'm not trying to provoke the relationship between your father and daughter, I just want you to think about it, is it interesting that you treat yourself so badly?" Wei Changying stuffed the handkerchief to her, retracted her hand, and resumed her calm tone, "Although your mother was very close to you back then, how much did she like you...... I'm afraid only you know if you become a mother yourself. Don't think that she was good to your cousin before, just think that she really likes your cousin more than you. ”

Seeing that the corners of Shen Shuyan's mouth twitched, and he didn't seem to agree, Wei Changying said hesitantly: "I didn't want to tell you about this matter. But the way you are now, I can only tell you - do you know why your father hates you so much? ”

Shen Shuyan said in a low voice: "Father regrets that Shen Shuyi is dead, but I am still alive......"

"You were far away in Xiliang when Yi'er died, what does this matter to you?" Wei Changying took a breath and calmed herself down a little - she hesitated for a few breaths before she told the truth with difficulty in her niece's puzzled gaze, "The reason why your father hates you so much is because when the imperial capital fell, your father wanted to break through with only Yi'er. And your mother...... She hopes that Rou'er can be brought with her too! The problem is that the situation was very critical at that time, and your father was not sure to take away the two children! ”

Shen Shuyan's face immediately changed: "Could it be that mother, she ......?" ”

"Your mother killed Yi'er, in front of your father!" Wei Changying reached out to hold her hand, feeling her niece's little hand as cold as a piece of ice, without any heat, she whispered, "Do you know how much your mother loves you?" If you were in the imperial capital at that time, she would have tried to find a way to keep you alive...... Do you think she treats Yi'er better than you, you feel sad, isn't she bitter? But this is what the world is like - you girls, you can't be without a brother's support! Got it?! It's all fate! If you or Rou'er are a son, let alone whether there is Yi'er or not, even if there is still him, it is a question whether your mother will be willing to raise him herself! ”

…… This is the biggest tragedy in Duanmu Yanyu's life, it's not that she's not virtuous enough, it's not that she's not good enough, it's that she doesn't have a son! But she married a husband who values her children!

Shen Shuyan, who moved the imperial capital at the age of three, if it was a son, the second room of the Shen family didn't know how happy it would be!

But she's a girl.

The Shen family doesn't care if it's a talented woman or not.

At the beginning, Shen Shuyan was the most favored by the elders among the sisters, and she was the youngest granddaughter at that time and her cuteness accounted for a bigger reason. As for her talent...... In fact, the Shen family was proud, but they didn't take it to heart.

With the door of the Xiliang Shen family, why use a talented woman to add brilliance?

Shen Shuyan can write poems at the age of three, which is far inferior to Shen Shuguang's ability to plan a brother-killing situation that even Shen Zangfeng has fallen in love with at the age of eight, so that the Shen family can pay attention to it......

Shen Jishi is not uncommon, a talented daughter is ...... If he could choose, he would rather exchange this talented daughter for a mediocre or even not very competitive son!

In fact, isn't this Shen Shuyan's sorrow? This world despises women, if she is just an ordinary lady like her sisters, and she is excellent in being more gentle and virtuous, then she can still live a better life.

But she was not reconciled, she thought that she was no worse than men, and even far better than most men...... In terms of talent and learning, Wei Changying also admitted that many men, including her studious and intelligent eldest son Shen Shuguang, are actually far inferior to this talented cousin in literary affairs.

But she's a girl.

She was born in the world-famous Mendi Xiliang Shen clan.

is destined to be in her life, Miss Shen Si's identity is even more before the prodigy and talented girl.

Big tears dripped from Shen Shuyan's face, and she asked stupidly, "What about my second sister?" She ...... on the breakout Wrong! I've heard people say in the imperial capital that the second sister was taken in with her grandmother - father?! ”

"Not really!" Wei Changying turned her face away sadly, calmed down for a moment, and then continued, "It's your second sister who can't stand such a thing...... Lose your marbles! After she went crazy, the few people who made a lot of noise couldn't hold her, and there was no way to take her away again, so your grandmother endured the pain...... Let her be martyred with her! Your mother didn't think about herself at all before she died, and all she thought about was that her two own daughters would survive...... You...... How can you ......"

Shen Shuyan sat there in a daze, letting Wei Changying hold her hand, and her whole person couldn't stop trembling......

After a long time, she broke away from Wei Changying's hand, took out the handkerchief from her arms slowly and stiffly, and slowly wiped her face.

She rubbed slowly and carefully.

After a while, she stopped and said in a low voice, "I know!" ”

"We originally talked about this matter and didn't tell you, but you really can't toss it now!" Wei Changying stepped forward to straighten her clothes and said in a low voice, "Last time, Doctor Ji already said that if you don't take care of yourself, it is very likely that Wen Yulan's fate will be...... That girl, I still can't bear to tell her - she can't be a mother anymore! You're young now and you don't know what that means! ”

"My mother's father was not in good health in his early years, and my mother only had me for ten years, you don't know how she came over in those ten years, but before I came out of the cabinet, the aunt and grandmother around her couldn't help but shed tears when they mentioned those days!" Wei Changying pressed his hand on her shoulder and choked up, "You must know that my mother-in-law is the cousin and niece of my mother-in-law's grandmother, and my father has a good temper. No one dared to give her anger among the concubines, but this hope alone almost crushed her! You feel uncomfortable, and you don't care about anything, even if it's your reputation...... There are many people in this world who are discredited but have a good life! Otherwise, why are so many people shameless? Only people who are not in good health, with thousands of people saying hello, lying on the couch and dying all day long, that is really better than death! ”

Shen Shuyan's eyes flashed with a little bit of crystal, and a slight coldness, and she said in a very soft voice: "My aunt treats me as her own daughter, so she works so hard for me...... I know! ”

"Since you know to take care of yourself, then I am relieved." Wei Changying wiped his face, breathed a sigh of relief, sat back in his place, and said, "But I also want to say one more thing to you: don't hate your father!" ”

Shen Shuyan lowered his eyes and remained silent.

"He has been looking forward to his children for too long." Wei Changying said this, but he didn't know how to say the following words, and was silent for a moment before he said, "And he thought that his heir's fate was extinct, and there could be no other heirs in the future." In despair, I will be angry with you like this. ”

"Mother was killed by my father, right?" Shen Shuyan suddenly said abruptly.

Wei Changying's heart sankβ€”she had tried her best to avoid this problemβ€”looking at Shen Shuyan's quiet gaze, Wei Changying calmed down and said word for word: "Your mother, she is martyred!" ”

"Hah!" Shen Shuyan seemed to laugh, lowered his head, and said, "Martyrdom? I see, thank you, aunt...... I want to go back and think about it now, okay? ”

As if she was afraid that Wei Changying would not let go, she said, "Please rest assured, aunt, I will not treat myself badly...... Even the slightest! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Mercy Daisy! Wei Changying bit her lip and reflected on what she told Shen Shuyan today, whether it was right or wrong. But now it's all said...... She called in the ambassador's daughter, "Accompany Yan'er back, be careful on the road." ”

I only hope that this smart and stubborn niece will not be like the tame Shen Shurou, who can't bear the stimulation......

…… Seeing Lian Ju accompany Shen Shuyan to leave, Wei Changying sighed heavily, picked up a few teas and took a sip: "Ask the kitchen to make a soothing soup quickly, and send it to Yan'er later!" ”
