Chapter 34: The Wisher Takes the Bait

Aunt Liu turned her head: "Okay, you did something wrong in this matter, the prince and the princess don't care about you, but we can't ignore you, hurry up and go to the ancestral hall to think about it for me." ”

"But the mother ......" Shen Fengjiao was unconvinced, but Aunt Liu didn't give her a chance to defend herself, and directly beckoned the grandmother on the side to come and drag her away.

"Lord Wang, today is a child in the family who is ignorant, and it disturbed your rest, I can't accompany you here, I hope that Lord Wang will not care." Shen Chusheng and Aunt Liu saw that Shen Fengjiao had been dragged away, so they hurried to apologize to Huo Weilou, but their rhetoric was indeed to directly pick up Shen Fengjiao's behavior, only saying that it was a child messing around, if Huo Weilou was careful, it would seem that Huo Weilou was stingy.

Fortunately, Huo Weilou didn't want to worry about anything with them, and seeing that it was not early, he had no intention of talking to them too much, so he nodded and said that he knew and raised his feet and went back to the study.

Shen Xinyue followed.

Seeing that Huo Weilou and Shen Xinyue had left, Shen Chusheng reached out and pinched the sweat on his forehead.

He turned his head to stare at Aunt Liu, and in his eyes was the indifference that Aunt Liu had never seen.

"Look at the good daughter you raised!"

"Me!" Aunt Liu wanted to argue, but she still held back and just bowed her head and admitted her mistake.

After all, she is just a concubine now, no matter how beautiful she is, it is based on Shen Chusheng's attitude towards her, if she offends Shen Chusheng between words, it is called more than worth the loss.

"It's the master, it's the concubine's poor discipline that almost made Jiaojiao a big deal, sir, you punish me, I'm willing to go to the ancestral hall with Jiaojiao." Aunt Liu knelt on the ground as she spoke.

Looking at Aunt Liu, who was crying in front of her, the anger in Shen Chusheng's heart also dissipated a lot, and he waved his hand: "Okay, okay, you go and tell her well." ”

With that, he walked towards the backyard.

Aunt Liu knelt on the spot and bit her lip helplessly, and she didn't know which vixen Shen Chusheng went to find! If it was a weekday, she would have to step forward to stop him, but at this time, Aunt Liu knew that Shen Chusheng was angry at this time, of course she didn't dare to follow up and invite the pet to touch his moldy head, so she could only stand up and walk in the direction of the ancestral hall.

"Let me out, I'm framed! I'm going to see my father......"

Aunt Liu had just walked to the door of the ancestral hall when she heard Shen Fengjiao's constant shouts from inside.

She opened the door straight and walked in, but she startled Shen Fengjiao, who was leaning against the door and shouting.

After seeing clearly that the person who came in was Aunt Liu, Shen Fengjiao cried and threw herself into her arms.

Aunt Liu hugged Shen Fengjiao and didn't make a sound, just patted her back slowly and comforted her silently, and after a while, Shen Fengjiao stopped sobbing.

Aunt Liu then took her hand and walked to the futon and sat down.

Seeing this, the little maid on the side also walked out with interest, leaving the space here for the mother and daughter.

Only then did Aunt Liu ask, "Tell me, what's going on today?" ”

"I was framed by Shen Xinyue today!" Shen Fengjiao was still very excited when she mentioned this.

"Framed? It's obvious that you went to her yard, why did she frame you? ”

"I didn't deliberately want to go, at first I just heard you say that the person she married was the prince, I didn't believe it, so I wanted to go over there to inquire about the situation, who knew that I overheard Shen Xinyue's personal maid say that the two of them slept in separate rooms, I didn't believe it at first, and then I went to ask a guard, and the answer I got was also like this, and then I guessed that they were pretending to be husband and wife, so I thought that while the prince was in our house, I might have a chance...... But I just found out that this is not the case! They teamed up to lie to me! Shen Xinyue lived with Huo Weilou, and I was teased by Shen Xinyue like a clown! ”

"I don't think so." Aunt Liu shook her head and began to seriously think about the development of things.

"Look, today you used to be improvised, and at that time, Shen Xinyue and the prince were both eating in the outer hall, how could Shen Xinyue not know that the prophet would know that you would go to her courtyard? And can also arrange her maidservants and guards, you must know that the prince brought so many guards, how does she know which one you will ask? ”

Aunt Liu analyzed this, and Shen Fengjiao's eyes lit up: "So what the maid said is true?" The two of them really sleep in separate rooms all the time, and they are pretending to be husband and wife! ”

"I don't know about this, but the maid's words shouldn't be deceiving, and as for you just happened to run into them today...... It may be that you went to inquire during the day and Shen Xinyue knew about it, so I came to guard against you. ”

"This slut! I knew she was doing it in the dark! You said that she obviously designed to marry the prince, but she couldn't get the prince's heart, so what's wrong with me, no matter how much she hates me, in the end, she and I are also sisters, it's better than cheapening others, right! But Shen Xinyue, a slut, is so defensive of me! ”

Hearing Shen Fengjiao's words, Aunt Liu also began to think about it, and she felt that what Shen Fengjiao said was quite reasonable.

Even if the matter hits Shen Chusheng, I'm afraid he will support his actions. As we all know, Shen Xinyue is a straw bag, even if she is lucky enough to marry Huo Weilou, she will not be able to get Huo Weilou's wholehearted favor, it is better to let Jiaojiao go to replace Shen Xinyue to get Huo Weilou's heart, which can also be beneficial to the entire Shen family.

"Mother, what are you thinking?" Seeing that she couldn't get a response from Aunt Liu after talking for a long time, Shen Fengjiao stretched out her hand and shook it in front of Aunt Liu's eyes.

Aunt Liu came back to her senses at this time, and she took Shen Fengjiao's hand: "Jiaojiao is right, instead of letting that straw bag occupy the position of the princess, it is better for my Jiaojiao to replace her." ”

As she spoke, she reached out and picked up the sideburns on Shen Fengjiao's forehead and pulled it behind her ear: "Jiaojiao is so good-looking, and she has both ability and political integrity, as long as you are willing, it is a matter of time before you get the heart of the prince, and you are in a hurry to do today's matter, you should have told me earlier, let's think of ideas together." ”

"Mother, what do you mean?"

"My stupid Jiaojiao, a person like Huo Weilou, in a high position, what kind of person has never seen it, taking the initiative to send it to the door like you today will only make him feel bored, and even make him feel that you are no different from the women offered by other officials, so you made a mistake in this first step."

"So what do I do?"

"Jiaojiao, have you ever seen Lao Sue fishing?" After Aunt Liu asked, she didn't wait for Shen Fengjiao to answer, and said: "I grew up in the countryside when I was young, and my favorite thing at that time was to go to the river at the head of the village to watch an old man in our village fishing. Then one day, I saw that the old man finally caught a fish, and there were many in the river attracted by his bait, I thought he would continue to fish, but the old man took the rod home, and for the next two days he did not catch a fish, and when he saw the fish eat the hook, he did not move, so he let the fish eat the bait and leave. ”

"Why? Wasn't his efforts in vain? Shen Fengjiao was completely attracted by Aunt Liu's story at this time.

"I also thought so, so I was more curious later, during that time I followed Lao Sue every day, I wanted to see when he could catch fish, but after he released the fish for three days in a row, on the fourth day, the old man caught a big fish about half a person long from the river, and was directly presented to the capital as auspicious Ruijin, and Lao Suo was also rewarded by the royal family. That's when I found out what Lao Suo was doing before, Jiaojiao, can you understand? ”

"He lets go of small fish again and again, in order to attract the big fish?"

"That's it," Aunt Liu nodded approvingly: "When Lao Suo fishes, he doesn't take the initiative to find the big fish, but lets the big fish come to him." In the same way, the first step you have to do now is to make the prince interested in you, to let him take the initiative to understand you, and then you will show some of your skills from time to time, just like Lao Suo will let the little fish go, little by little surprises, only in this way can the prince remember you deeply. ”

Shen Fengjiao slowly came back to her senses, and only felt that her behavior of taking the initiative to send it to the door today was extremely stupid.

She looked like Aunt Liu: "That mother, what should I do now?" ”

"Now what you have to do is to admit your mistakes, and let Huo Weilou and Shen Xinyue both forgive you for your abrupt behavior today, but you remember, you must not say that you went to Huo Weilou today, you just need to bite the bullet and say that you are going to find Shen Xinyue, and as a result, you have no intention of disturbing Huo Weilou, and they will not keep coming to climb you without evidence."

"But my father has asked me to think in the ancestral hall now, how can I admit my mistake if I can't get out?" Shen Fengjiao said and looked at Aunt Liu with wide eyes and expectation, the implication was that she wanted Aunt Liu to go to Shen Chusheng to intercede and let her out.

Where did Aunt Liu dare to do this? She could only touch Shen Fengjiao's head and comfort: "Now that your father wants you to admit your mistakes in the ancestral hall, then you should admit your mistakes well, don't go out during this time, let Huo Weilou slowly forget today's events, and wait until the day they return to the palace and you will go out to admit your mistakes, and leave a deep impression on Huo Weilou." ”

Shen Fengjiao thought for a while and felt that what Aunt Liu said was quite reasonable, so she had to nod aggrievedly and agree with what Aunt Liu said.

Aunt Liu was also a little unbearable when she saw her daughter being locked up in this cold ancestral hall: "Jiaojiao is fine, I will persuade your father to let you out as soon as possible, and I will let my subordinates bring two more quilts in a while, and I will never let you suffer any more grievances." ”

And Shen Xinyue's side, after Shen Fengjiao was locked up, she lived a few days of very leisurely, and no one in the Shen family dared to offend her when they saw her current identity, even Shen Chusheng couldn't come if she didn't appear, and tried not to meet her.

Her daily life is to accompany Song Ruyu to talk, and then go back to her yard to drink tea and enjoy the flowers, or take Si Qi out for a stroll, not to mention how comfortable it is.

By the time Huo Weilou said that she was going back to the capital, Shen Xinyue still had some unfinished business, but fortunately, the things she wanted to bring back had strict specifications and requirements, as long as she handed it over to the people below to do it, she was happy to be idle again.

On the day when Shen Xinyue and Huo Weilou were about to leave, the door of the Shen family was wide open, and the relatives in the clan also came, and everyone came to see Shen Xinyue leave, which was in stark contrast to the shabby day she came.

Shen Xinyue sneered in her heart, her face was indifferent, and after finally sending these people away, Shen Xinyue was just about to get into the carriage, and there was a shout behind her.

"Sister, wait a minute!"
