Chapter 110

When Shanniang knew about this rumor, it was already October.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shanniang will be sixteen. Although the Yuan Hou family has not yet agreed on the marriage date, the lord suddenly restrained Shanniang and did not allow her to go out again, and only asked her to prepare for marriage at home.

At that time, Shanniang didn't think much about it, just thought of it as a master. And now that her brother is six or seven months old, it is the most cute time, and she is more willing to play with her brother at home than to go shopping. It wasn't until she found out that her brother seemed to be fighting more often than ever, and even Hou Jue, who had always been timid and scared, had fought with people a few times that she realized that something seemed to have happened. When she asked, the two brothers only talked about him left and right, so that she couldn't ask why.

Just when she was puzzled and unsure if something had happened, the old lady made a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and after breaking away the fifth master, she ordered someone to bring Shanniang and the fifth lady over.

When Shanniang passed, there was not a single idler in the old lady's courtyard, and the atmosphere seemed very solemn and depressing.

As soon as she and her wife entered the door, the old lady smashed a teacup in a rage, almost hitting Shanniang.

"Get on your knees!" The old lady shouted.

Shanniang was puzzled, so she had to kneel down with her wife.

The old lady was so angry that the tips of her fingers were trembling, and she pointed at Shanniang and said angrily: "When you are a good person, you are muddy and can't support the wall." That's it, who are you worthy of such rumors that ruin the doorway? ”

Shanniang was scolded by the old lady for a while, looked back at her wife, and saw her white face and gritted her teeth, she suddenly understood, it turned out that there was really something, and the wife also knew, but she didn't know. So she asked the old lady, "What's the matter?" ”

The old lady was so angry that she trembled for a while, and she didn't bother to talk to Shanniang, so she waved at the eldest lady and motioned for the eldest lady to come and speak.

The eldest lady was embarrassed for a while, thought about it, sighed, took out the letter sent back from Beijing by Qi Niang from her sleeve and handed it to Shan Niang - Qi Niang was married to Beijing in the spring.

Shanniang took Qi Niang's letter and took a look at it, it turned out that now there was a lot of uproar in the capital, saying that the five princes were so ridiculous, and they disregarded morality to seduce the wife of the orphan of the loyal martyr or something, although he did not specify the name of Shanniang, but it was so that people with a heart can know after a little study that this so-called "orphan" is implying whom. Naturally, the fiancée who "has a leg" with the five princes is about to come out.

From between the lines of Qi Niang's words, Shan Niang can see that this letter should be Qi Niang's reply to the old lady's inquiry - that is, the old lady heard the rumors first, and then went to inquire about Qi Niang in the capital.

Shanniang glanced back at her wife. The lady looked down and avoided her eyes. So Shanniang guessed, I'm afraid that not only the old lady heard those rumors, but even the old lady had already heard them. Moreover, it may be precisely because such rumors are now everywhere that her two brothers fight with people all day long......

Since Qi Niang married in Beijing, they always have to communicate with one or two letters every month, and it was only then that Shanniang found out that she hadn't received a letter from Beijing for a month...... I think it's either that Qi Niang doesn't know how to write, or she was taken away by the old lady......

When she pondered here, the old lady was already angry, and she didn't ask a question, so she pointed at her nose and scolded her, and then ordered someone to lock her up in the ancestral hall.

Kneeling in front of the ancestral tablet, Shanniang frowned for a while, she couldn't imagine that she was sitting at home, but disaster came from heaven. And if this "scandal" is aimed at her, then it should have spread from her side, but the news came from Beijing. Almost without thinking about it, she could guess that it must be the prince of Jingli who bit tightly with the harem and asked someone to bite Zhou Chong, and then she also lay down......

As for why those people pointed the finger at her, Shan Niang thought about it and felt that in addition to Zhou Chong's unruly behavior and easy to be caught, I was afraid that it was also because she was Yuan Changqing's fiancée - Yuan Changqing was the eldest grandson of Yuan Lao Linggong, and the Yuan family was loyal to the martyrs, and the five princes stretched out their hands to the orphans of the loyal martyrs, not to mention the loss of reputation, only the status of the Yuan family and Yuan Changqing's foreign family in the army had to make the prince lose the support of the army.

In addition, some recent movements in Jiangyin Mansion also made Shanniang feel that it was already known that Yuan Changqing was making suggestions for the East Palace behind his back. It can be seen from the strange way of spreading this news from top to bottom, it is obvious that someone is deliberately designing Yuan Changqing, in addition to retaliation, there may be two birds with one stone, wanting to make Yuan Changqing and Zhou Chong turn against each other......

In short, whatever the reason, she lay down and was shot.

Meng Lao Taijun paid the most attention to fame in his life, but now such a "scandal" came out of Beijing, that is, he did not name and did not have a surname, and anyone who was interested could guess Shanniang. This made the old lady who wanted to drill up angry. If Shanniang is just a girl from the Hou family, she may call Shanniang to "die of a violent illness", but Shanniang is a person who is engaged, even if she wants to deal with her, she has to see the movements of the Yuan family first.

So, soon, the movement of the Yuan family came. The old lady of the Yuan family sent two nurturing grandmothers to Shanniang - this is simply a slap in the face!

The old lady almost suffered a cerebral hemorrhage from anger. So, after being punished for kneeling in the ancestral hall for two days, Shanniang was detained by the old lady in her back room and locked up, and also kicked all the people around her out of the West Garden, and the old lady personally sent someone to watch her, and read to her every day what books such as "Female Commandments" and "Female Rules", as well as the two mothers-in-law of the Yuan family. Shanniang's life is not to mention how aggrieved she is.

As for Yuan Changqing, at the end of August, Yuan Changqing greeted her, saying that the place he was going to was inconvenient for communication, and it was likely that he would not be able to contact her for a long time.

Sitting in front of the bookcase, staring blankly at the boring "Female Commandment", Shanniang gritted her teeth silently for a while. If Yuan Changqing could receive her letter at this time, she was not sure if she would write a letter to ask him to dissolve the marriage contract - no matter how she calculated, she felt that all these bunches of troubles, big and small, were caused to her by Yuan Changqing! She thought angrily, if she had insisted on her original intention and resolutely had nothing to do with him, maybe she wouldn't have so many troubles to worry about!

In the days when Shanniang was locked up, the fifth master ran to the old lady every day to make trouble, and it was like a frame as long as the daughter didn't want the mother, which made the old lady angry again, and simply pretended to be sick, and even the door of the West Garden was not allowed to enter the fifth master. No matter how the fifth master behaves, he can't take someone to the door to snatch Shanniang back, seeing that his old lady gritted her teeth and had to teach Shanniang a lesson, he only had to stare dryly.

When the family was in a hurry, Yuan Changqing came back in the dust.

In fact, if you want to say that the old lady locked up Shanniang, first, she wanted to teach the disobedient Shanniang a lesson; Second, in fact, I was afraid that I would not be able to explain to the Yuan family, so I just made a gesture to show it. Now that the master is here, and he also brought a matchmaker to ask the fifth master for an appointment, it doesn't look like he wants to regret his marriage, the old lady is completely relieved, and then with a wave of her hand, she graciously put Shanniang back.

When Shanniang was taken into the house by Mother Li, as soon as she looked up, she saw the old lady and her brothers all standing in the hall waiting for her. In addition, it is Yuan Changqing.

She silently calculated in her heart, it had been more than a year since Yuan Changqing left and when he came back.

After not seeing him for more than a year, Yuan Changqing seems to have grown taller again, but he has not become much stronger. Now that it is late autumn and October, he is still wearing only a single coat. The wide skeleton supported the clothes, and it looked a little skinny. Looking up at his face again, Shanniang found that his eyes, which were darker than ordinary people, were almost as if they were about to penetrate deep sockets. Coupled with the pale lip color, how do you look like you are sick...... Or the appearance of recovering from a serious illness.

She was looking at Yuan Changqing here, and the fifth master and fifth wife were looking at her.

"Thin." The lady took her hand and sighed.

In fact, from the time she was locked up by the old lady to the time she was released, it was only seven or eight days of hard work, and Shanniang felt that she was eating and sleeping well, so she smiled at her wife: "Where did you lose weight?" ”

But he didn't want Yuan Changqing to suddenly answer: "It's thin." ”

Shanniang was silent, glanced at him, and then was silent.

Yuan Changqing looked at her, and had a lot to say in his heart, but there were many people here, and he couldn't say anything, so he turned back to the fifth master and said, "I will take those two mothers-in-law back, and there will never be such a thing in the future." ”

Shanniang was surprised for a while, looked sideways at Yuan Changqing, and saw that he was also looking at her, so she hurriedly turned her eyes away-although she knew in her heart that she didn't blame him for this, she didn't know why, she just wanted to blame him...... (Dear, you're tsundere!) ）

Seeing that she avoided her eyes, Yuan Changqing's heart sank, and he turned back to the old lady and said, "It's not early, Thirteen'er has just come back, tell her to have a good rest, and I'll come back tomorrow." ”

The old man said, "Where do you live?" ”

Yuan Changqing said: "Temporarily live in the inn." ”

The old man frowned and said, "What are you doing like this?" When he turned around, he ordered someone to clean up the guest house, and said to Yuan Changqing: "Isn't it more convenient to live at home than outside?" And I have something to ask you. ”

At this time, Shanniang knew that Yuan Changqing had just returned to the town and took the fifth master to the West Garden to pick her up. As for why he suddenly ran back alone, until now, the fifth master hasn't had time to ask him for details.

Yuan Changqing glanced at Shanniang slightly, saw that she lowered her eyes and didn't speak, thought about it, and bowed respectfully to the fifth master, which was considered to be due.

*·*·*

Although Shanniang told the old lady that she was living well with the old lady, eating and sleeping soundly, no matter who encountered such bad luck, it was impossible to live so heartlessly. What's more, Shanniang's sleep is a bit problematic, so she doesn't think it herself, but in the eyes of others, it is obvious that she is not good-looking.

Back in Chunshen Garden, Li's mother was so distressed that she wiped her tears again. Sanhe Wufu knew that the girl loved to take a bath the most, so he prepared the bath water diligently, and after washing Shanniang inside and out, he sent her to bed, who was sleepy.

When she went to bed, Shanniang was still thinking, I don't know if that guy will come over the wall again tonight, but maybe she hasn't slept well for seven or eight days in a row, she is really tired, she yawned, and didn't wait for the nurse to put down the curtain, as soon as she turned over, she fell asleep. When I opened my eyes, it was already the next morning. Therefore, she didn't even know whether that person had come to climb over the wall or not.

Just when she came to the north window to see if there were any traces of the person climbing the wall in the middle of the night on the windowsill, Sanhe hurriedly ran upstairs and said to her: "Girl, go and see, my uncle is actually hot in the middle of the night, and no one has woken up yet!" ”
