Chapter 35: She Can't Do It
She turned around and saw that it was Shen Fengjiao, who had not appeared in the past few days.
"Why, my sister reflected so quickly?" Shen Xinyue looked at Shen Fengjiao with interest and asked.
When Shen Fengjiao heard Shen Xinyue's words, she immediately took a step back, as if she was frightened by her, and gave a flurry and explained: "No sister, I heard that you were leaving, so I specially begged my father to give you a ride." ”
In the eyes of onlookers, she thought that Shen Xinyue deliberately tossed Shen Fengjiao with her identity after she came back. Especially the relatives from the clan, they have always heard that this eldest lady is a domineering person, and the second lady is tolerant everywhere but is still bullied by Shen Xinyue everywhere, and now the two of them seem to confirm everyone's conjecture.
But because Shen Xinyue's identity was there, everyone didn't dare to say anything.
Shen Xinyue saw everyone's appearance and knew that the incident that night had not been spread under the deliberate concealment of Aunt Liu and Shen Chusheng, so everyone didn't know that Shen Fengjiao was grounded in the ancestral hall.
Let Shen Xinyue admit to bullying Shen Fengjiao like this?
Sorry, she can't.
So Shen Xinyue also deliberately stepped forward to help Shen Fengjiao up: "Jiaojiao, don't get excited, I'm just asking, don't worry, I won't tell you the reason why you were punished that night, you don't have to be so afraid of me." ”
Shen Xinyue deliberately said that night, but did not say what the specific thing was, Shen Fengjiao, a boudoir lady, was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall at night, as soon as these key words were said, it was enough to make people who didn't know the inside story think about it.
Shen Fengjiao immediately felt that the eyes of the people around her looked at her completely different from just now, but she didn't dare to open her mouth to argue for herself, after all, although everyone guessed at this time, they still didn't dare to talk about it, if Shen Xinyue directly said that she went to Huo Weilou's study that night after she refuted, then her reputation would be completely ruined.
Shen Fengjiao could only take a deep breath, and secretly told herself in her heart that she was going to return to the capital, as long as she covered this matter today, and didn't let her say anything, in a few days she was asking Aunt Liu and Shen Chusheng to help her explain, then she was still the second miss of the Shen family who was talented and beautiful in Jiangnan and had no stain, and no one dared to despise her.
"What my sister said is, we sisters are separated today and don't know when the next time we meet, I can't stop feeling uncomfortable when I think of this, I came in a hurry today, and there is nothing to give to you, this is a peace charm that I sewed with my own hands, I also specially brought it to the temple to open the light before, and I hope it can bring good luck to my sister, and bless you to be safe and secure in the future."
"Okay, then I'll take it." Shen Xinyue saw that Shen Fengjiao had always been polite, and she couldn't embarrass Shen Fengjiao anymore, so she instructed Si Qi to accept the peace charm, wanting to see if Shen Fengjiao would make other moves next.
"Sister, what happened last time was my fault, but I really just went to look for you, but I accidentally disturbed you, and I hope my sister will forgive me."
After Shen Fengjiao finished speaking, she didn't wait for Shen Xinyue to react, and retreated directly behind Shen Chusheng, as if she really just came to apologize to Shen Xinyue.
Shen Xinyue didn't expect her to behave like this, but seeing that Shen Fengjiao didn't come to trouble anymore, Shen Xinyue was also happy, and officially left in the carriage.
A breeze blew, the curtain of the carriage was blown open a corner, Shen Fengjiao noticed a trace of searching eyes suddenly stopped on her, she knew that it must be Huo Weilou, so she deliberately pretended to be very reluctant to lower her head, hiding the full of calculations.
Those who wish to take the bait...... Doesn't this make Huo Weilou remember himself?
What she didn't notice was that there was a little maid who was following Shen Xinyue's carriage and had been secretly observing her reaction.
After a few days of long journey, Shen Xinyue and Huo Weilou finally returned to the capital, Shen Xinyue only felt that her whole body wanted to fall apart, and when she returned to the mansion, she originally wanted to go to the old princess to say goodbye according to the rules, who knew that the old princess said that she was unwell and asked her to go back by herself, Shen Xinyue was very happy, and hurriedly returned to her room to rest.
What she didn't notice was that there was a little maid who had just come back with her, and secretly went to the old princess's courtyard as soon as she returned home.
"That's the way it is, the princess didn't do anything during this time." The little maid gave the old princess the original report of Shen Xinyue's daily life after returning to her parents' home.
The old princess fiddled with the newly-acquired parrot in front of her, and after a while she spoke, "Her sister who came to see her off?" Do you know any grudges between them? ”
The maid thought for a while and shook her head: "I inquired, but no, but it's very strange, the reputation of this young lady of their Shen family in Jiangnan has always surpassed that of the princess's concubine, and even the world likes to compare the two, saying that they are different from the mud......"
When the old princess heard this, the corners of her mouth hooked up a sneer: "Okay, I know, you go back first." ”
As soon as the old princess finished speaking, Mama Li stepped forward and took out a handful of golden melon seeds and put them in the little girl's hand, and she immediately left happily when she saw the golden melon seeds.
"Did the princess think of something?" Mama Li asked when she saw that the little maid had already walked away.
"A girl from a concubine, but her reputation is even louder than that of her concubine, what does this mean?"
"Their Shen family's favored concubine killed his wife?" Mama Li thought for a while and said, "But this has nothing to do with us, right?" ”
"It doesn't matter, but at least that girl who came out of the house can cure Shen Xinyue, otherwise she wouldn't have been allowed to live with a straw bale title for so many years."
"What do you mean...... Want to borrow a knife to kill? But that lady is not in the capital. ”
The old princess coldly hooked the corners of her lips when she heard this: "Isn't it easy, since the young lady said that the two sisters are deep when they said goodbye, then let's do a good deed, seeing that the princess is lonely in the house, it is not a problem to help her take her sisters over as a companion, right?" ”
"The princess is clever." Mama Li immediately flattered the old princess with a handful of bird feed.
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, hurry up and arrange it." After speaking, the old princess carefully fed the parrot in front of her.
"Little bird, little bird, you said that the sky outside is high and the birds are flying, why do you have to hit my eyes? No, you can't get out, right? ”
Things were arranged by Mama Li, and things quickly got on the right track.
In order not to make others suspicious, Mama Li also specially invited Song Ruyu and several daughters of the Shen family to come to pray with Shen Xinyue on the grounds that the old princess wanted to worship the Buddha.
Since Song Ruyu only gave birth to one daughter, Shen Xinyue, the other daughters of the Shen family except Shen Xinyue were all concubines, and everyone was excited to learn that they had the opportunity to live in the regent's mansion in the capital.
However, Shen Fengjiao was not as happy as them, and she was mixed in her heart at this time.
I am happy that I finally have the opportunity to get close to Huo Weilou again, but I am worried about why the news from the palace is to invite her to go with those concubines? Didn't he make a deep impression on Huo Weilou that day?
Shen Fengjiao completely forgot at this time that she was just a concubine, and she was no different from other concubines.
And the one who is even angrier than Shen Fengjiao in her heart is Aunt Liu.
She originally heard that the old princess invited the daughters of the Shen family to worship the Buddha, and thought that she could also go, and specially asked the embroidery lady at home to make a few more clothes for him, but who knew that after seeing the letter sent by the palace, she knew that the palace had named her and said that she would let Mrs. Song Ruyu take several concubines in the palace to accompany Shen Xinyue.
How does this make her not angry?
So, when Shen Chusheng came to Aunt Liu's yard in the evening, he saw a picture of a beautiful woman crying.
Aunt Liu was originally very beautiful, and since she entered the Shen Mansion, she has been pampered without any suffering, and she has a good skin, which makes her look like a girl who is only twenty or eight years old, and because she has given birth to a child, she has a charm that a girl does not have.
Under Aunt Liu's deliberate design, she sat on the soft couch, supported her head with one hand, and quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the other hand.
"What's going on?" Shen Chusheng immediately stepped forward very distressed and hugged Aunt Liu tightly in his arms.
Seeing this, Aunt Liu hurriedly took out a silk scarf to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes: "It's nothing, why did you come suddenly, master, and didn't say anything in advance?" ”
"If I hadn't come here suddenly, how would I have known that my beauty was crying so much? Tell me, who bullied you. ”
"No one bullied me, it's just that the concubine suddenly thought of her birth and felt a little sad, the concubine is fine, don't worry, master." Aunt Liu said that it was okay, but the drooping eyes gradually burst into tears.
"What the hell is going on?" Shen Chusheng's eyes swept over the servant girl on the side with a slightly threatening look.
Aunt Liu's personal maid Pei'er hurriedly knelt down: "Master forgive me, today my aunt just heard that the second lady is going to the capital, but she can't go to take care of her, so she is a little worried......"
When Pei'er said this, Aunt Liu began to sob: "It's all my fault for my bad background, but if I had a better background, I wouldn't be so looked down upon, I couldn't even go out to the banquet, poor my Jiaojiao, I had to trek to the capital at a young age, if I could still mention one or two things by my side, if I didn't break into something in her, how would it be good......
"What's this little thing, it's a big deal to let Song Ruyu not go, isn't it the same if you take the children there." Shen Chusheng didn't care about this.
Aunt Liu hurriedly said: "It can't be like this, the post of the people's palace clearly says that Mrs. wants to go, if I am Li Dai Taozhuang, it is our Shen family who will be embarrassed after being discovered, but I think of one thing in this way, what kind of character is Mrs...... Master, you also know, if you let Madame go to the palace like this when the time comes, will it make people think that our Shen family is such a soft and cowardly person? Then it will be our Shen family who will be embarrassed, ouch, how can you say this, Mrs. is not going, not going, things are really deadlocked. ”
Seeing Aunt Liu thinking so much about the Shen family, Shen Chusheng felt even more comforted in his heart, and at the same time, Song Ruyu's consistent image also appeared in his mind, thinking of Song Ruyu's hesitant and indecisive appearance when he encountered anything, he frowned in disgust, and then took Aunt Liu's hand, thought for a while and said, "Then why don't you follow Madame to the palace together?" I'm relieved to have you with me. ”
