Chapter 39: Fear of Injury
"Mother!" Shi Niang stretched out her head and shook it at the door.
The eldest princess is also ready to sleep, with long hair and a shawl, dressed in a white robe, leaning on a large pillow and flipping through a book, her face has a kind of beauty precipitated by the wind and moon, pure and flawless. Compared to the robe she wore when she went to Cheng's house, she was almost ten years younger.
"Aren't you tired?" The eldest princess didn't raise her head.
"Liuniang is also known as the first beauty, I don't think it's as good as the mother." Shi Niang hurriedly came over, sat on the edge of the couch, and smiled at her shyly.
"Nonsense again, the first beauty in this dynasty at that time was your fourth mother." The eldest princess nodded her nose.
"Alas, really, it's a pity that I couldn't see Siniang like that time." She squeezed to the side of the eldest princess and lay down next to her.
"Yes, in fact, she is the best to look at......" The eldest princess thought and shook her head again. Gently stroked her hair, "I heard that you played with Zhang Qian today?" ”
"This person is a bit stupid, not like you said, the kind of genius who takes Qinglou as his home." Shi Niang was not shy, and said casually, "Grandmother seems to like the Cheng family's little five, and she is happy to look good." ”
"The Cheng family is too smart, and sometimes they find it boring." The eldest princess shook her head and thought about it, "Your sixth mother doesn't look like the Cheng family." ”
"However, the sixth lady is still the Cheng family, and she is too timid." Shi Niang smiled, because she was divorced by two garbage, she was put in prison. In fact, she was afraid that she had never seen those two, in fact, to put it bluntly, she was a little inferior. She rubbed next to her mother and lay down, and she was in the karmic nunnery, often like this, rubbing against her mother and letting her mother coax her to sleep. So she has never lacked maternal love, because she has always had.
"It's good to be timid and timid, but forget it!" The eldest princess patted Shiniang gently, as if she was still the baby.
Shi Niang smiled and closed her eyes.
Mama Hong and Mama Mi came in, carefully took the lamp away, lowered the curtain, and retreated silently.
may have returned to the arms of the eldest princess, and Shi Niang's heart settled down all of a sudden. She soon fell asleep, like when she was a child, tired of being in the arms of the eldest princess, smelling the smell of sandalwood on the eldest princess, and her warmth, she seemed to fall asleep more easily, and it was easier for her to fall asleep.
The eldest princess also closed her eyes and fell asleep quietly. For many days, it was the first time I slept peacefully.
Mama Hong waited at the door for a while before retreating to the warm pavilion on the side.
Mama Mi made tea and poured a cup for Mama Hong.
"There's a girl, and you still have to guard it." Mama Mi's caution towards Mama Hong is really a little speechless.
"What do you think of the girl?" Mama Hong took a sip of tea.
"I don't have any ideas, it's been almost twenty years, and the princess has been as calm as water, how can there be any man in the world to rely on. Like them, I think it's good to let the girl live with her well. Mama Mi also picked up a cup, took a sip slowly, and said casually.
"So, you people." Mama Hong was speechless and didn't want to say any more.
"You obviously saw the result, why bother to let her get hurt too?" Mama Mi also looked at the sisters who grew up together with some curiosity. Knowing that the road ahead is long, why let them take risks with their hearts and livers in the palm of their hands.
"How do you know she's going to get hurt? Can't she find a good son and stay away from karma? Mama Hong looked up at her companion for many years.
"I'd rather she be in the marriage nunnery, cry when she wants, laugh when she wants, and do whatever she likes." Mama Mi disagreed.
"I think you're really old and confused." Mama Hong doesn't want to see her old friends anymore.
"I think what the sixth lady said is not wrong, why do you want to marry? Why does a woman have to marry once, and when she marries, she is free? Why? There are so many people in the nunnery, which one is not married, and which one is not a basket of tears? The girl was raised so well by us, why was she hurt and cried? Mama Mi still didn't understand what she meant.
And Mama Hong's tea was finished, and she leaned to the side to rest. They didn't keep vigil for a long time at this age, but Mama Hong still had an old habit, as if she couldn't sleep if she didn't sleep near the eldest princess.
Early the next morning, the Lu family came, looking for the real mother. Lu Xian has already informed Shiniang's adoptive mother, of course, the point is that he hopes to ask his grandfather to probe the tone of the eldest princess, and he really doesn't want to give up.
The Lu family is actually suspicious of the matter of the real mother's succession, even if the other party is the eldest princess, they don't think it's good, businessmen always think a lot, so they come early in the morning, mainly to meet the eldest princess, as for the matter of the sixth lady, Mrs. Lu doesn't want to deal with the grandson.
The old man saluted the eldest princess in a regular manner, thanked him, and thought for a long time and didn't know how to speak. Raise your eyes to see the real mother who has put back her own clothes, so this is the real real real mother, raised by the eldest princess's side since she was a child, she was raised according to the rules of the palace, so in the Lu family, when she saluted, everyone was stunned. That dress should also be a preparation for returning to Beijing, at this time, the palace dress is what she has worn since she was a child. She seems more natural and comfortable.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Seeing that only Taigong was coming, Shi Niang was still staring at herself, and asked hurriedly.
"It's fine!" Mrs. Lu smiled at Shi Niang, turned around and waved at the eldest princess, "The old man took the liberty to ask to see me, please forgive the eldest princess." ”
"The old man is polite, what is the important matter today?" The eldest princess thought about it and retreated, and there were only Mama Hong and Mama Mi by her side.
"You don't have to! I only heard what my grandson said yesterday that Shi'er was saved by the eldest princess, and today I came to thank her. A few days ago, I heard that the eldest princess intended to let Shi Niang succeed her, and the old man didn't dare to say anything, but he dared to ask about the charter. "Mrs. Lu said very slowly and very carefully.
"In a few days, the eldest princess's mansion will invite some people who have contacts to bring Shi'er out." The eldest princess said softly with a smile.
"That'...... The Fang family ...... "Mrs. Lu hesitated, the Fang family fell, and now that the real mother has passed over, it is really not a good time."
"What do you think?" The eldest princess still said good-naturedly.
"Shi'er's life experience, it's better to be public. The case of Fang Xian's murder of his wife can be tried together. The old man grinded his teeth lightly before he whispered.
"What do you see?" The eldest princess looked at Shi Niang, there must be an accuser for killing his wife, no matter if the He family or the Lu family sues first, there must always be a reason. Looking back, it is still Fang Yun and Shi Niang who are guilty of unfilial piety, and it is allowed by the law to hide each other, but the real son sues the father, the father is guilty, and the son is equally guilty.
"My daughter has already been recorded in the royal jade ten years ago, and my daughter is no longer the daughter of the Fang family, so it doesn't matter if she doesn't tell her. But this matter has to be known to people, and it can be sued by the daughter, and the eldest brother cannot be allowed to come forward. Shi Niang thought about it, she understood the pain of the Lu family, Lu Niangzi died too miserably, and the Lu family had no explanation, which could not calm the hearts of the Lu family. She can't be so selfish, so that Lu Niangzi will not be at peace after her death, even if she is not buried in the cemetery of the Lu family, she still has to carry the name of Fang's wife, it is too unjust.
