Shen Yunchu was a little strange, he didn't understand what he meant, who knows, Zhu Mingtang looked at her for a long time, and suddenly a smile suddenly bloomed between his originally majestic and inviolable expression.

He seemed to be muttering to himself, a trace of inexplicable emotion flashed in his sharp eyes, and he said: "I didn't expect that Shen Jichang's bastard boy could give birth to a female doll with such a mark, it's really cheap for him." ”

As he spoke, he sneered for a while, looked left and right, Bai Yuheng had already gone to the lobby with Hongyuanqing, there was no one else around, he looked at Shen Yunchu with some playfulness in his eyes, and blurted out: "Little girl, who cares more about you Daddy and Auntie?" ”

Shen Yunchu looked at him, there was some surprise in his eyes, in his impression, this old man was very serious, in the previous life, they hadn't seen each other a few times, and they were all on more important occasions.

He was always frowning, his eyes were sharp and murderous, which was intimidating, so when he asked this sentence, Shen Yunchu only felt that his eyelids were picked.

She opened her mouth, and she didn't know how to answer for a while, but the other party didn't seem to care, just brushed her beard and turned her head away in a good mood, looked at Shen Yunchu with a smile, and muttered: "This little girl doll is really interesting." ”

With that, he laughed to himself and left.

Shen Yunchu stood in place, still a little surprised by what happened just now, she turned her head and glanced at Linlang beside her, between the two of them, she saw surprise from Linlang's eyes, Shen Yunchu believed that everything that happened just now was true.

She turned her head and looked at Zhu Mingtang's back as he walked away, but one thing was for sure, that is, her father had a bad temper when he was young.

Otherwise, there wouldn't have been so many people hurting him.

Zhu Mingtang does look about the same age as Shen Jichang, and according to Hong Yuanqing, he is even a few years older than Shen Jichang.

They are both officials in the court, and they naturally know each other when they look up and don't look down, but it is said that the relationship between Shen Jichang and Zhu Mingtang is also very tense.

To be precise, in the words of Hong Yuanqing: "General Shen has a good relationship with other people in the entire court, except for his good relationship with His Majesty, but if you want to say that it is bad, it is not bad, anyway, no one can bear to lose two sentences with Lord Shen." ”

But Zhu Mingtang is a civil official, compared to Rufu's straightforward ridicule, he said clearly and arrogantly: I don't care to quarrel with you, noisy!

Thinking about it carefully, in fact, Shen Yunchu didn't know much about Zhu Mingtang, he only knew that he was a clean official, and everyone praised him, but the strange thing was that in Shen Yunchu's impression, he seemed to have never been to the Shen family.

Whether it was the Shen family's banquet or anything else, in his past life and in this life, Zhu Mingtang never went to the Shen family.

If you want to say that you are not familiar, it seems that it is not today, after all, judging from the tone of what he said just now, he and Shen Jichang should not be unfamiliar.

But to say that he is familiar, he has never been to the Shen family, and he has not even heard Shen Jichang or anyone next to him deliberately mention it, and he doesn't remember what they have done.

If you talk about identity, whether Zhu Mingtang went to the Shen family for a banquet or something, according to the status of the Shen family in the imperial city, it is not a self-depreciation.

It's really weird......

But when Shen Yunchu assisted Hong Yuanqing in sorting out the clues, he inadvertently chatted about the past of the Shen family and the Zhu family, and Shen Yunchu understood what happened.

Listening to Hong Yuanqing, Zhu Mingtang has a younger sister named Zhu Qiqi, who died a long time ago, she was only eighteen years old when she died, and she died of illness, and she liked Shen Jichang very much at that time.

The origin of the two and a hero to save the beauty, a very old-fashioned drama, is the kind of talk that is common in the book, the female protagonist on the way back, encountered a mountain bandit hijacking, and the male protagonist descended like a god to save the female protagonist and be in trouble.

That's right, Zhu Qiqi is the heroine, Shen Jichang is the male protagonist, since then, Zhu Qiqi is like the heroine in the book, and she fell in love with Shen Jichang out of control.

But at that time, Shen Jichang had just met Bai Weiyu, and he fell in love at first sight, but he did not accept Zhu Qiqi's overtures.

Later, I heard that Zhu Qiqi's health became worse and worse after that, so she begged Zhu Mingtang to let Zhu Mingtang help her fulfill her last wish, that is, to marry Shen Jichang.

Zhu Mingtang went to Shen Jichang specifically for this, but Shen Jichang took a firm position and had no room for negotiation, even if it was a scene, he resolutely did not do so.

The matter was not discussed, and Zhu Qiqi did not survive the spring of that year, and died in the cold winter with heavy snow, since then, Zhu Mingtang was very angry, although he knew that it was not Shen Jichang's fault, but the brother and sister relationship who had depended on each other since childhood made him unable to be rational no matter what.

It wasn't until he knew about Sun Qiao that it was obviously similar to Zhu Qiqi's experience, and it could even be said to be the same, but Shen Jichang actually agreed to take her back to Shen Mansion directly, and Zhu Mingtang felt even more uncomfortable.

He asked himself, his sister is not bad-looking, although she is not a country or a city, but she is also one of the best looking among many women, and in terms of talent, she is not lost to that Sun Qiao, why can't she please him General Shen?

Zhu Mingtang was so angry that he directly cut off contact with the Shen family, as long as he heard that it was the Shen family's business, he would definitely not interfere, in his own words: "If the Shen family has an accident one day, don't expect me to do anything, if I don't fall into the ground, it will be the greatest mercy." ”

Hong Yuanqing said, sighing again and again, looking at Shen Yunchu's somewhat heavy expression, he smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, in fact, Miss Zhu will die of illness, there may be a small part of the reason why your father doesn't like her, and more because she is not in good health, and now she is depressed, so naturally there is no way." ”

Listening to Hong Yuanqing's words, Shen Yunchu just lowered his eyes and did not express his opinion, in fact, what Hong Yuanqing said was right, maybe Shen Jichang was not a murderer, but in the final analysis, it became the last straw that crushed the camel.

It's just that the creation makes people, and I wish Qiqi is too stupid.

But when it comes to Sun Qiao's matter, in fact, her father can't be blamed for it, after all, Sun Qiao's situation at that time was different from Zhu Qiqi, and her father took Sun Qiao back out of kindness.

The Sun family is in the middle of the road, and it has to be done as a last resort, I wish Qiqi is different, I wish the family a great cause, and there is no need for Shen Jichang to protect it.

After thinking about it, Shen Yunchu asked him again: "Then Lord Zhu still hates the Shen family now?" ”

Hong Yuanqing shook his head without thinking, and said with a smile: "If you want to say that you don't hate, you may also hate, but after so many years, what's the use of hating, maybe adults have also figured it out, life and death are life and wealth, otherwise you may not be able to enter the door of this Dali Temple." ”

Yes, no matter what, this is also Zhu Mingtang's place, and he still has this right, if he really doesn't want the people of the Shen family to come here, it's just a matter of words.

Just thinking about it, at the open gate, there was a sudden knock on the door, Shen Yunchu hurriedly came back to his senses, the two of them subconsciously raised their eyes, and the little servant stood at the door and respectfully saluted: "Lord Hong, Miss Shen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Zhu invite the two of you to come to the hall." ”

Shen Yunchu was stunned, "Am I going too?" ”

The little guy nodded and replied with a smile: "Yes, Lord Zhu has specially ordered, please Miss Shen must be present." ”

After the little guy said that, he saw the salute again, and left without looking back, Shen Yunchu frowned, and a trace of not very good premonition suddenly rose in his heart.

It stands to reason that if they want to discuss the case, it should be impossible to bring her, a "child", just imagine, even Hong Yuanqing thinks that she is here to play, let alone Zhu Mingtang.

It seemed that seeing the uneasiness on Shen Yunchu's face, Hong Yuanqing smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, Lord Zhu just looks fierce, but he is actually a very good person." ”
