Chapter 30: No More Connections
Seeing Lu Huaimin smug and inviting other people, Ruan Leyao looked at Shen Yanshu puzzled.
"Although Lu Huaimin has not been in Zhaodetang for a long time, he often goes to walk around with other ladies of the family, and it is difficult to say that it is embarrassing. Ruan Leyao said, "Why did you agree to go to the Lu family's banquet?"
"Since people are here, why don't you go there?" Shen Yanshu grabbed Ruan Leyao's arm, "I know you don't want to make friends with her, but I just want to go to Lu's house to have some fun." ”
Ruan Leyao recalled Shen Yanshu's surprise and displeasure when he saw Lu Huaimin just now, and asked with some uncertainty: "You won't be going to make trouble for the Lu Mansion, right? You and Lu Huaimin shouldn't have seen each other before, why do you look like you have a holiday." ”
Shen Yanshu didn't intend to hide Ruan Leyao's dislike for the Lu family: "Not only Lu Huaimin, but the entire Lu family has an enmity with me, since they took the initiative to come over, I didn't say anything, how can I do it?"
Ruan Leyao has long regarded Shen Yanshu as a friend, and she really doesn't like Lu Huaimin, hearing Shen Yanshu say this, she became curious: "What kind of hatred can you have?"
"Those people in the Lu family praised me high and low, and it was normal for them to bully me before, but they forgot, I haven't forgotten!"
Shen Yanshu's eyes flashed with a touch of murderous intent.
When Lu Huaiyuan went to Chang'an City for the imperial examination, he was entangled and stolen, and he lived on the street, she kindly let people settle him, and he always greeted her with kindness, and finally he was the top student in high school, saying that he wanted to marry her. His father refused, so he knelt in the rain outside the general's mansion all night, how could she not be moved?
Maybe his downfall was deliberate from the beginning, luring her to the bait!
Her sister Lu Huaimin knew that Lu Huaiyuan already had a wife, but she never told her half a sentence, and while currying favor with her, she used the reputation of their Zhenbei General's Mansion to cause trouble outside.
On the day of marriage, she was thrown into the firewood room, and her hamstrings were broken, and she couldn't escape at all! When she saw Lu Huaimin, she still hoped that she could save herself.
She still remembered that Lu Huaimin looked at her condescendingly, and then said to her with a smile: "Lord Qingyun, I have long wanted to see your down-and-out appearance.
"Shu'er, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that Shen Yanshu's expression was getting darker and darker, Ruan Leyao asked with some concern.
Shen Yanshu came back to her senses, there was a trace of trance, she shook her head: "I'm fine." ”
"Since you want to go to the Lu family, I will also accompany you, if I am bullied by them again, I will not be able to spare them!" Ruan Leyao patted her on the shoulder.
Shen Yanshu said: "I know that Le Yao is the best for me." ”
"Don't praise me first, it's okay to accompany you to Lu's house, you have to accompany me to practice swords next time!"
"Yes!"
The two of them had already walked outside the academy, and Shen Yanshu said goodbye to her and then took their respective carriages back to the house.
When Shen Yanshu got into the carriage, Shen Xi'er and Shen Yuyan were already in the carriage.
Shen Yuyan didn't seem to see Shen Yanshu, she was still sitting in her place playing with something, and she who sneered at Shen Yanshu on weekdays was quiet today.
Yesterday, she was very frightened by Shen Yanshu, after all, Shi Youcai was arrested, she was worried that she would also be implicated, so she hurriedly went back and cried with Meng Shi.
The Meng family was also frightened, but after thinking about it, he felt that Shen Yanshu's words to the history of patrolling the city were simply a big problem, Shi Youcai arranged for them to harass Shen Yanshu, but Shen Yanshu said that she inadvertently broke Shi Youcai's collusion with the Great Qi people, and even the thing she was pushed into the lake was done by Shen Yuyan, but Shen Yanshu pushed Shi Youcai's head!
Thinking about it this way, nine times out of ten, Shi Youcai's crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason was also given to him by Shen Yanshu!
However, Shi Youcai probably never thought that he would be planted in Shen Yanshu's hands, the evidence was in his body, he couldn't argue, that Jingzhao Mansion has never tolerated such traitors, and it will be strictly examined, and the more Shi Youcai defends, the more he will be considered tough, and it will be inevitable to use some punishments at that time.
In the morning, the Meng clan sent someone to investigate, but Shi Youcai couldn't stand the torture and was beaten to death.
Meng Shi and Shen Yuyan naturally became more and more frightened the more they thought about it.
From the previous failure to buy murder, to now even Shi Youcai died tragically in prison, all of them are weird, and they can't imagine how Shen Yanshu, who is only fourteen years old, can avoid these dangers.
But there is no doubt that if you want to get rid of Shen Yanshu, you can only think in the long run, the more reckless you are, the easier it is to be manipulated by her!
This time, Shen Yuyan also listened to Meng's words and tried not to provoke Shen Yanshu.
Shen Xi'er didn't know what Shen Yuyan was thinking, but she didn't care much about her, but asked Shen Yanshu directly: "Was Lu Huaimin inviting Miss Ruan and the third sister to Lu's house just now?"
"Hmm. The joy of the housewarming of the Lu Mansion happened to meet the day of the holiday, so he agreed. Shen Yanshu responded.
Shen Xi'er asked, "Then Lu Huaimin has no friendship with the third sister, how could he invite you?"
"It's just Ruan Leyao who people want to invite, she's just in passing!"
Shen Yuyan couldn't help but speak.
Shen Yanshu didn't seem to mind at all: "Yes, I'm just a passing." ”
Her attitude made Shen Yuyan feel like a punch on the cotton, not painful, but she couldn't answer anymore, just snorted from her nose and turned her head to ignore people.
"Is the fourth sister going with you?" Shen Yanshu asked Shen Xi'er.
Shen Xi'er shook her head and said, "I haven't seen my eldest sister for some days, and I finally met a day off, and my eldest sister asked me to go to Bofu to accompany her and relieve my boredom." ”
Shen Yuan of the big house is the eldest granddaughter of the Shen family, and like Shen Xi'er, she was born in the Song family at the same time, and married Ji Anbo's youngest son three years ago - Yu Wenyi, who was in the third line of Ji Anbo's mansion.
Shen Yuan's married life is harmonious and beautiful, and after a year of marriage, she gave birth to a big fat boy, and now she is more than a year old, probably because she feels that it is rare to see her mother's family once on weekdays, so she asked Shen Xi'er to go to Bofu to accompany and talk.
"I may not have seen my eldest sister for a long time, so say hello to her on my behalf. Shen Yanshu said.
Although it wasn't that he hadn't seen him for a long time, but that he hadn't seen it at all, Shen Yanshu still felt that he couldn't reveal any flaws.
"Yes. Shen Xi'er smiled, suddenly thought of something, turned her head and asked Shen Yuyan, "By the way, is the fifth sister also going to the Lu family with the third sister?"
"I'm in the same class as Lu Huaimin, so naturally I'm going to go. Shen Yuyan said, "But I heard that the second son of Gu will also go to the Lu family at that time, if he meets the third sister, I don't know what kind of show to watch!"
"The fifth sister cares so much about Gu Ergongzi, and even knows where people are going so clearly, didn't she send someone to investigate? Gu Gongzi would definitely be moved if he knew about the fifth sister's intentions. ”
Shen Yanshu not only did not have the imaginary anger, but instead led the fire to Shen Yuyan's body, a boudoir woman who had no relatives, and she would definitely be said to be shameless when she probed a man like this.
Shen Yuyan said with a weak heart: "I'm talking about you, why did you pull it on me!"
Shen Yanshu said: "Since you can talk about me, why can't I say yours? Fifth sister, this is only allowed to be set on fire by the state officials, and not allowed to light lamps by the people." ”
Being scolded by Shen Yanshu like this, Shen Yuyan wanted to be angry but couldn't be angry, but she didn't expect that a person who was so cowardly before could block herself from saying anything! She had already made a fire in her heart, but she could only swallow it.
finally waited until she returned to the house, so she directly lifted the curtain of the car and walked down, as if she had fled in the wilderness.
Shen Xi'er saw it in her eyes, but she smiled and didn't say anything.
When the two were about to return to their courtyards separately, Shen Xi'er grabbed Shen Yanshu and asked, "Third Sister really doesn't mind that Gu Gongzi also goes to the Lu family?"
"Since you have already withdrawn from your family, you have nothing to do with it, so why bother?" Shen Yanshu said.
Shen Xi'er said: "But now everyone knows that your private meeting with a man is a misunderstanding, if the Shen Gu family talks about it, maybe this family affair can still be done." ”
Shen Yanshu said: "The fourth sister thinks too much. Withdrawing from his relatives is not just a misunderstanding, if he wants to retreat, he can retreat, and if he wants to get married, is this me Shen Yanshu being bullied?"
Shen Xi'er was stunned, she didn't expect her to say this.
In the past, Shen Yanshu admired Gu Ziyi very much, so everyone would believe that she was heartbroken and committed suicide by jumping into the lake after being retired.
Could it be that it was really because he was hurt so deeply that he became so desperate?
Returned to the Dark Fragrance Residence, Shen Yanshu first completed the homework left by the master in the school, these days she listened to the lectures in a proper manner, and also completed the homework in a regular manner, because she didn't know what kind of level the original owner was, so she didn't dare to be too ostentatious, and always maintained at the upper middle level.
But from time to time, she was praised by the masters and praised her for some progress.
Qing Kite helped Shen Yanshu grind on the side, and thought that she was going to Lu Mansion as a guest, so she asked, "Who does Miss plan to take to Lu Mansion in two days?"
Shen Yanshu was still concentrating on writing, and his eyelids were not raised: "It's just you and Xiyan." ”
"Xiyan? I always thought she was weird. The green kite frowned and said.
Shen Yanshu was interested and asked, "Oh, what do you think is strange about her?"
Qing Kite said: "Aunt Wang, who watched the back door yesterday, told me that Xiyan has to leave the house every two or three days, but Xiyan said that she has no relatives, so what is she doing when she leaves the house?
"Then according to you, what did she leave the mansion for?" asked Shen Yanshu, but the pen in his hand did not stop.
The green kite tilted her head and thought about it, but she couldn't think of a reason, she shook her head.
Shen Yanshu finally raised his head and looked at the green kite: "Can't you think of it, won't you ask?"
Only then did the green kite react, patted her head, and said, "Miss is right, I'll go ask Xiyan now!"
"No need, tell Aunt Wang next time, if Xiyan goes out again, ask the reason before letting go. Shen Yanshu put down the brush in his hand.
The green kite nodded in confusion.
