Chapter 228: Let Him Die and Not Survive
Shen Qingran and Shen Ruoyan also temporarily moved to Zhuangzi in Zhennan Wangfu before it got dark.
Shen Xingwan instructed Shen Ruoyan to find a way to find out Yan Ling's whereabouts as soon as possible, and now there should be many people looking for him.
The people of the Lu Guogong Mansion almost dug this piece into the ground, and everyone who had contact with Lu Chuan was interrogated, stirring up the entire hot spring Zhuangzi people in panic.
Ordinary officials and eunuchs have no confidence in Fu Jingchao's direct letting people get out of the way of the powerful Lu Guogong Mansion.
Seeing that his son-in-law and grandson were interrogated like a prisoner because he had drunk and had fun with Lu Chuan, he was naturally unhappy.
I didn't dare to say much on the surface, but I complained behind my back.
The reputation of Lu Chuan and the Lu family has deteriorated after this battle.
Shen Qingran is not a person who likes to talk about right and wrong, but after knowing what Lu Guogong did, he couldn't help but say, "Now everyone says behind their backs that Lu Chuan's death is retribution, and he has destroyed so many Xiaolangjun." ”
"And he didn't have a single child left, so he deserved it." Banxia gossiped on the side.
Shen Xingwan smiled and looked at the excitement they said, because of this, the Lu Guogong Mansion probably hated her to death this time.
After two or three days, no matter how the Lu Guogong Mansion tosses, there is no result.
Ji Li, the only murderer on the bright side, burned himself cleanly with a fire, and did not even leave his ashes.
The Lu family's breath could only be held back, and there was nowhere to come out.
On the fourth day, he took Lu Chuan's bones back to the house for a funeral.
Fortunately, it was winter, and the bones were not easy to rot.
As soon as the people from the Lu Guogong Mansion left, the Shen Mansion immediately came.
The leader was the confidant around the eldest lady, and she respectfully handed Shen Xingwan a letter.
Shen Xingwan opened it and looked at it for a while, and said with a distant gaze, "Fifth sister, it's time for us to go back." ”
As he spoke, he handed it to Shen Qingran, who quickly finished reading it, and his face became heavy, "We really should go back." ”
Fu Jingchao quickly learned of their decision to go back, and pondered for a moment, "Since that's the case, I'll go back too." ”
"It's okay with your body, we can go back by ourselves." Shen Xingwan said worriedly.
"It's no big deal, and it's winter, and there are many things, and the Zhuangzi industry everywhere also needs to be inventoried, so it's more convenient to go back to the house." Fu Jingchao said.
So a group of people quickly sorted out their things and set off to return to Beijing overnight.
Drawing the lesson of being surrounded and suppressed by walking at night before, the guards of the Zhennan Wangfu were exhausted, and the eldest lady also sent a lot of people to pick them up.
The people and horses of the two prefectures together were very spectacular, and they returned to Shengjing all the way safely.
Fu Jingchao knew that they had something to do when they went back, so he directly found them and sent them back to the Shen Mansion.
Shen Xingwan and Shen Qingran didn't even go back to their own yard as soon as they entered the door, and went directly to the eldest lady's yard together.
As soon as I walked into the courtyard of the eldest lady, I saw a plain white.
The eldest lady said to them quietly, "Are you back?" ”
Shen Xingwan nodded, "Did you find it?" ”
The eldest lady clenched the Buddhist beads in her hand, "You come with me." ”
The two followed the eldest lady to the side room in the courtyard, pushed open the door, and a woman with half-white hair and a face full of vicissitudes of life burst into tears when she saw Shen Qingran, "Fifth Miss, do you remember me, the slave maid is autumn!" ”
As he spoke, he was about to salute Shen Qingran, but was supported by Shen Qingran, "Of course I remember you." ”
At that time, Shen Mingzhu herself was a talented woman in the south of the Yangtze River, and the four big girls around her were named after spring, summer, autumn and winter, all of them were literate, and they did not lose to girls from small families when they went out.
When Shen Mingzhu got married, even if she gave her a chance, Siyahuan didn't choose to let her go, and all of them accompanied her to marry.
Shen Qingran still remembered that among the four people, the autumn posture was the worst, and the woman in front of him now looked like a half-white old woman.
Where can you see the demeanor of half a point back then.
Shen Xingwan noticed that there was also a thin old woman sleeping on the bed.
The old woman just watched them weep.
The eldest lady's voice was dyed with a hint of hatred, "This is Mingzhu's grandmother Zhou, I found her in a mine, her tongue was cut, and her hand tendons were broken!" ”
The grandmother of the eldest lady of the Shen family is, of course, also a carefully selected person. After the accident that year, the Shen family finally spared her life, but in order to prevent her from talking nonsense, they did such a cruel thing and sold people away.
Autumn choked up and said, "Originally, my wife ordered us all to be killed, and the mouth of the dead man is the safest." However, the old lady believed in Buddhism and said that she was accumulating Buddha for her dead grandson, and she did not want to add to the killing, so she spared our lives. ”
The other three big girls were all sold to dirty places by poison and dumb, and the people sent out by the eldest lady to find them said that several of them died after not staying up for two years.
Autumn was able to escape because the chief housekeeper of the Shen Mansion, who was in charge of handling this matter, coveted her beauty for a long time.
In the desperate autumn, he used his beauty and innocence to exchange for a glimmer of life.
The big housekeeper who didn't have enough fun, Yang Fengyin sent her away on the surface, but actually secretly left her behind and raised her on Zhuangzi.
Autumn didn't dare to think about how she survived the first two years, the big housekeeper didn't treat her as a human being, and did all kinds of excessive things.
The people who were quickly destroyed in the autumn were old and old, and the housekeeper gradually went less, and when the autumn used to figure out the route, what was hidden on her body all the time, Shen Mingzhu rewarded her with a bracelet on her birthday, and bought the old woman who was the gatekeeper and ran away.
Autumn said with red eyes, "I have survived until today, just waiting for one day to seek justice for Miss, Miss died too unjustly, and they died too unjustly in the spring." ”
Shen Qingran's eyes were red, and Shen Mochen, who didn't know when he came, walked in, "Lu Guogong's mansion, it's too much to deceive people!" Even if Lu Chuan died, he didn't want to leave with peace of mind! ”
Shen Mingzhu, as the eldest lady of the Shen family and their elder sister, has always taken good care of her younger brothers and sisters when she is not out of the cabinet.
The Lu family let her die tragically in her hometown like this, this account can't be settled like this!
Shen Xingwan was not familiar with Shen Xingzhu, and he was not as angry as Shen Qingran and Shen Mochen.
But for more than a year, the eldest lady has taken good care of her, so Shen Xingwan also said, "No matter what my wife is going to do, I will support it." ”
The eldest lady, who has always been like a stagnant water, her face also fluctuated, and she said loudly, "The children of my Shen family are all good, Mingzhu knows your intentions, and she should be at ease!" ”
It was not in vain that she endured for a few years, but in the end, someone stood behind him after all, and everyone did not forget Shen Mingzhu's grievances.
In the evening, Fourth Uncle Shen and the old lady all sent people over to convey their intentions and let the eldest lady let go, no matter what she wanted this time, the Shen family would support her!
Several people were in the courtyard of the eldest lady, and they discussed until midnight before returning to their rooms.
Unfortunately, it was a sleepless night.
