Chapter 3 The Mother Visits
This time it was Shen Guogong Shen Yi'an and Shen Qianxue's biological mother Cui Shi, that is, the father and mother of the original owner. It seems that Shen Qianxue went to sue her. Shen Qianmo was still lazily lying on the bed, and now she was seriously injured, and no one would blame her if she didn't get up to see her.
Seeing the two of them enter the house, she didn't move, but called out to the two: "Father, mother." "I'm really not used to this kind of name, her name is a little stiff, and her expression is not very natural.
But the two didn't care. In Shen Yi'an's eyes, his eldest daughter was originally a person who was awkward, and every time she saw herself, she always stood aside and didn't speak, and she didn't even dare to look at herself, not at all like her second daughter's sweet words, intimate and sensible. When he saw Shen Qianmo, he naturally thought of her biological mother and his original wife, Xie Yun.
Xie Yun is the wife chosen by his parents for him, and she is the daughter of the Xie family in Suzhou. The Xie family in Suzhou was a well-known scholarly family in the Dasheng Dynasty, and the Bishan Academy founded did not know how many talents were sent to the Dasheng Dynasty, and more than half of the officials in the court were born in Bishan Academy. It's just that Xie Yun's education since childhood made her too orthodox, and her married life lacked interest, so Shen Yi'an respected Xie Yun more than liked it.
What he likes is a gentle and coquettish woman like Cui's, who will be soft, know how to be coquettish, and know how to serve him comfortably, so that his machismo can be fully satisfied.
Xie Yun became ill and weak after giving birth to a daughter, and died three years later. During that period, the person he feared most in this family, his father, Lao Guogong, also died of illness. So he ignored his mother's opposition, supported Cui's as the main room, and handed over the daughter left by Xie Yun to Cui's to raise. Since then, he has never been interested in this eldest daughter.
A year ago, King Rong's Mansion wanted to marry the Guogong Mansion. He originally wanted to marry his second daughter Shen Qianxue to the prince of Rongwang, but was strongly opposed by his mother. Mrs. Shen has been living in seclusion in the Buddhist hall since the death of the old prince, ignoring family affairs, but after learning of his decision, she came out of the Buddhist hall and scolded him fiercely, saying: "The eldest and youngest are orderly, and the concubines are different, how can her daughter born to a concubine marry into the Rongwang Mansion and become a princess?" ”
Shen Yi'an's face was red and white for a while. Old Madam Shen was undoubtedly slapping him in the face when she said this. Because he is not the eldest son, nor is he from Old Madam Shen. He was born to a concubine, and his biological mother died in childbirth as soon as he was born, and he was raised by Mrs. Shen. If it weren't for the untimely death of his eldest brother Shen Wei'an, after the death of the old Guogong, this Shen Guogong's seat would not have been his turn to sit in it anyway.
There was no way, he could only replace his relatives with Shen Qianmo. For this, Cui Shi and Shen Qianxue cried a lot in front of him, but he was forced by the power of Old Madam Shen and could not do anything.
For this reason, the Cui family hated Mrs. Shen even more. This old immortal has given himself a look since the day he entered the door, and now he has to come to spoil her good things when he lives in the Buddhist hall! The more she thought about it, the more unwilling she became. At this time, seeing Shen Qianmo lying crookedly on the bed, her face still burned by the fire, she felt that the resentment in her heart had finally eased a little.
Cui Shi pretended to be concerned and stepped forward a few steps, and said with a look of regret: "Poor Mo'er, why is it injured like this, let my mother see how the injury is?" As he spoke, he pulled the veil on Shen Qianmo's face.
Why do these two girls want to pull the veil on their faces so much! Shen Qianmo sighed in her heart. She subconsciously avoided it, turned her face to avoid Cui's hand, and said lightly: "Thank you mother for your concern, it's just that the injury on my daughter's face is a little scary, I'm afraid that it will frighten my mother, let's see it when it gets better in the future." ”
Cui Shi smiled awkwardly and said, "You girl, what are you talking about, I am your mother, no matter what you become, how can a mother dislike her daughter?" ”
Sure enough, Cui's face is thick enough, and his acting skills are also very strong. Shen Qianmo thought, since you want to see it so much, then it will fulfill you. So she tore off the scarf on her face, faced Cui's, and said word by word: "Mother is kind, it's her daughter who is too worried." ”
Cui Shi didn't expect Shen Qianmo to take the initiative to pull off the veil to show her, but she didn't react for a while, and when she saw the scar on Shen Qianmo's face, she exclaimed "Ah", took two steps back, and looked frightened.
The scar extends from the bottom of the ear on the left side of the face to the chin, mottled and hideous, although the area is not large, but because the ointment has just been applied, the color is black, black, red and red, which is indeed a little terrifying.
Shen Qianmo did intend to scare Cui's family, seeing that she was really scared, she sneered in her heart, tied her veil again, but there was a panicked look on her face, and said: "I've scared my mother, please forgive my mother." After that, there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Shen Yi'an was also shocked when he saw Shen Qianmo's face. He didn't know that Shen Qianmo was so seriously injured, a woman who had not left the cabinet, her appearance was ruined, if it was known by King Rong's mansion, would this family affair still be successful? Seeing her looking down and gazing at her, with a sad look in her eyes, a sense of pity rose in her heart. Seeing Cui's frightened face, he couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied with her. Just now, I kept saying that I didn't dislike anything, and I slapped myself so soon.
Seeing Shen Yi'an glaring at him, Cui Shi couldn't help but say aggrievedly: "Master, I'm just worried that Mo'er has become like this, how should the relationship with King Rong's Mansion be good?" ”
When it comes to this, Shen Yi'an is even more headed. However, seeing Shen Qianmo's sad look, he felt a burst of pity, and said to Shen Qianmo softly: "Mo'er, has the house doctor come to see it?" What did he say? ”
Shen Qianmo raised her head and replied to Shen Yi'an: "Thank you father for your concern, the house doctor just came to see and changed the medicine for her daughter." The doctor said that the burn was not more than usual, and it would take time to recover, and there was no guarantee that it would be recovered. ”
So, it's likely that it will never get better? Cui's heart is secretly happy, in this way, this girl's relationship with Rongwangfu will inevitably not be completed, and Xue'er's opportunity has come! She pretended to be sad and said: "Master, Mo'er is so pitiful, she originally looked like a flower and jade, but now she is ...... I heard that the imperial physician in the palace specializes in treating burns and scalds, so why don't you ask the emperor for a request another day, and ask the imperial physician to come to the palace to take a look at Mo'er, okay? ”
In this way, the news of Shen Qianmo's disfigurement spread out, and he was not afraid that the Rong Wangfu would not know.
Shen Yi'an also knows the reputation of Imperial Doctor Wang. Hearing Cui Shi say this, he also felt that it was feasible, nodded immediately, and said hello. He also thought about how Mo'er would explain the disfigurement to King Rong's Mansion. The two of them thought about it, sat for a while and left.
Shen Qianmo retains the memory of the original owner, and naturally knows that he has been engaged to Meng Yunce, the son of King Rong, but he does not have the impression of Meng Yunce, it seems that the two have never met.
In the memory of the original owner, Meng Yunce was an unruly playboy, and the place he usually frequented most was the brothel of the Qinglou. She asked Luzhu and Mama Xu for verification, and they were also confirmed.
Lu Zhu said with an indignant face: "Miss doesn't know, the slave maid heard that Mrs. is planning to marry the second lady into the Rongwang Mansion after the young lady marries, and I heard that the master will marry as a concubine!" ”
Two sisters working together as a husband? Shen Qianmo shuddered when she thought about it. She thought that it was no wonder that Cui's face was happy when he left just now, probably because he was disfigured, even if Rong Wangfu didn't come to withdraw from his family, he wouldn't have a good life if he got married. When the time comes, marrying Shen Qianxue will be much smoother.
Now Shen Qianmo only hopes that Rong Wangfu will withdraw from the marriage after hearing the news of his disfigurement. If it is really as planned by the Cui family, the two sisters work together as a husband, not to mention anything else, just to deal with Shen Qianxue's vexatious temperament, they will go crazy. She still thought that since God had given her a chance to be reborn, she wanted to use Shen Qianmo's body to live here and do something meaningful.
She said to Luzhu and Mama Xu: "You spread the news of my ruined appearance to King Rong's mansion, the more serious the better, the best is the ugly one who can't see people, I don't believe it, with Meng Yunce's character, he will not come to divorce." ”
