These days, the Li Mansion is obviously a bit more lively than before.
Since Ge Tianshi entered the Dali Temple Prison, the movements of the Sixth Prince have gradually increased. For example, he gave Li Di a concubine in the blink of an eye.
As if afraid that Li Di would not be distracted, the concubine who brought her in had at least a three-point resemblance to Shen Yan.
Three women in one play, this is true.
He Wanru's current situation can't serve men, and can only use the gold lumps in her stomach to compete for favor. In less than ten days, she was happy and became popular, and she never stopped.
As for that concubine, not only has the sixth prince as her backing, she is also enchanting. She is the most irresistible face of a man at night. Under the scorching sun, her clothes are as thin as a cicada's wings, and her collar is low. The gully, running up and shouting sentence Langjun, makes people want to cover their eyes.
The intention to seduce men regardless of shame has never been concealed.
Besides, on the day Auntie Wu offered tea to Shen Jiao, although Li Di sat beside him and didn't take a second glance, Shen Yan knew Li Di too well, and he had no reason not to eat the meat that the sixth prince brought to his mouth.
Sure enough, that day and night, no matter whether He Wanru was crying or making a fuss, Li Di was indifferent.
Qingli said in a low voice, "Miss, Aunt He seems to be really sick this time, and there is a quarrel with Mrs. Tai."
"Can we not be noisy? He Wanru is in his stomach, but Jin Sun is the one who Wenshi reads about every day."
Speaking of which, if He Wan can be so angry, she can't get rid of Shen Hao. The woman looked at the woman and knew what was going on at a glance. The moment Shen Yan saw Auntie, she knew that the backyard of Li's house could no longer be clean.
Shen Yan deliberately packed Lanning Garden out to live with Aunt Yu. Lanning Garden was elegant and quiet, with lush shade of trees, and it was not far from Li Di's study.
It's just that the Li Mansion occupies a narrow area, and while it is close to the study, it is only separated from He Wanru's courtyard by a wall.
As far as Auntie Auntie's voice was like a silver bell, how long she had been calling that night, no one could hear it better than He Wanru.
In the evening, Mrs Wen angrily ran to Shen Yan's courtyard, pushed away the little girl who was guarding the door, and said angrily, "It's all your intention, Mrs Shen, do you know that you almost Harm Wanru without a child?!"
"I don't know what my mother is talking about."
Wen Shi sneered, "Let that Hu Meizi live next to Wanru, and face to face every day, thank you for thinking about it!"
Shen Yan looked at her directly, "My mother is afraid that she has misunderstood. In addition to Lanning Garden, the only empty courtyard in Li's house is Qiuyi Garden on the northernmost side. Qiuyi Garden has not been repaired for a long time. , I'm also afraid of falling into the bad name of treating concubines badly."
"Okay, you are so eloquent! You contradict me every day. I don't know if there is still my mother-in-law in your eyes! Good, good, I will teach you today how to be the eldest wife of my Li family!" Take a duster from the hand of the servant.
Wen Shi walked in front of Shen Zhu, and just raised her hand, Qingli stood in front of Shen Zhu, "Mrs. Tai, you can't touch my girl!"
"Get out of the way! What are you!"
Shen Yan's eyes dimmed, and she said coldly, "Qingli, you just get out of the way. I would like to see if my mother-in-law can do it today."
Although Wen Shi was in a hurry, he also knew that Li Di would definitely blame her if he did something. Originally, I just wanted to scare Shen Yao, but she was so agitated by Shen Yao that she couldn't hold back, and she really snorted.
Wen Shi had done farm work, and his hands were strong, with no depth. After waving them a few times, bruises appeared on Shen Yan's neck and arms.
"What is mother doing!" Li Di suddenly appeared at the door and shouted loudly.
Wen Shi was stunned for a moment, and the duster in his hand fell to the ground with a "click".
"Son, my mother is out of anger..."
Li Di took a deep breath and said, "Son and mother have something to talk about." After speaking, he turned and left.
Wen Shi clenched his fists and followed.
Time passed slowly, the candle lit lower and lower, Li Di returned to Shen's room at about Hai Shi, holding a bottle of medicine in his hand, and whispered: "Come here, I will give you medicine."
Shen Yan's eyes were flushed, and she whispered, "No need."
"You were wronged today." Li Di sighed, "Why don't you hide?"
Shen Yan raised her eyes and said, "You saw what my mother looked like just now, how can I hide? I am wronged! Something happened to He Wanru's belly, and my mother put the blame on me! Master Li's judgement, I have my hands on it. I don’t even have any money, so where do I get the cost of repairing Qiuyi Garden?”
Li Di fell into a long silence.
He looked into Shen Yan's eyes and weighed it for a long time, and he didn't know whether it was because the sixth prince suffered repeated setbacks in the court, or because he felt pity for Shen Yan's appearance, he unexpectedly said: "Tomorrow, tomorrow I will give your dowry. Bring it here, okay?"
He held Shen Yan's hand and said softly as before: "If you're still angry, I'll hit you twice."
Shen Yan flung it away, "Lord Li, these gentle and petty ideas, let's go to Auntie."
Li Di smiled a little, "She was sent by His Royal Highness the Sixth Highness. I always have to deal with it. How can I be compared with you? Hi, I will be here with you tonight."
Shen Yan endured the discomfort in her stomach tumbling, and glared at him with those soul-sucking eyes, "Don't lie to me."
Shen Yan got up and went to the clean room, where she quietly lit incense.
When he came back, Li Di was already unconscious on the bed.
She sat on the edge of the bed and looked at his face, her fingertips shaking.
Shen Jiao used the incense very carefully. When Li Di got up the next day, he didn't feel any discomfort. After opening his eyes, he saw that Shen Jiao was still asleep, so he touched the purple mark on her neck with his hand.
Li Di delivered Shen Yan's dowry at noon the next day as promised.
Qingli knelt down on the side and said, "Miss, let's run away. The servant will follow you, and the servant will serve the girl for a lifetime."
"Don't be stupid." Shen Jiao pulled her up and smiled, "Come and change my clothes, and then cover up the marks on my neck. I have to go to Dali Temple in a while, so don't let people see it."
"But with the three girls?"
"No, I have something to tell my father alone today. I don't want her to know about these things."
—
Since Shen Yan came to Dali Temple and Prison every month, many of the guards in the prison knew her.
Shen Hao walked through two narrow streets and came to the cell where Shen Wenqi was being held. As always, she needed to wait here for Zhou Shuan to get the key.
A footstep approached, Zhou Shuan walked straight to her side, held the lock with his left hand, and immediately heard the door lock rattle.
Zhou Shuan took out the key and glanced at Shen Yan.
Although there is no sunlight in the cell, the silver lamps and candles placed in the grooves around it are enough to illuminate the light here.
The man's sharp eyes swept across Shen Yan's neck without hesitation, the movements of his hands stagnate for a moment, and he frowned.
When her eyes met, Shen Yan turned sideways and bowed her head, "Thank you, Lord Zhou."
Zhou Shuan retreated from the jailer and the prison chief, and sat alone outside the door, listening to the sounds inside.
Seeing that there was no sound for a long time, Zhou Shuan guessed that Shen Hao wrote a letter to Shen Wenqi today, but if not, there was a sound of paper folding inside.
Shen Wenqi said in a trembling voice, "Huh, what are you going to do in the future? What are you going to do!"
Shen Yan said, "In a woman's life, it should not be the only way to get married and have children. Princess Yu An can enter the Taoist temple, why can't her daughter?"
As soon as the word Taoist came out, Zhou Shuan's eyes froze suddenly, and he was absent for a long time.
Taoist temple
Do you want to be a nun
After half an hour, Shen Jiao walked out slowly, nodded to Zhou Shu'an and said, "I've been delayed for a while today, please forgive me."
"It's okay."
Zhou Shuan turned back to lock his body, and after a moment, his throat moved slightly, and suddenly he said, "This official has something to say to Mrs. Li."
"But it has something to do with my father?" Shen Yan turned around and said.
Zhou Shuan said in a calm voice, "You will know when you come with me."
Shen Yan looked at his dark eyes, and felt a little panic in her heart. To be honest, she didn't want to go, but this was Dali Temple. He had something to say to himself, and he couldn't refuse it at all.
In the silence, Shen Yan followed him to a place he had never seen before, and said defensively, "Dare to ask Sir Zhou, where is this?"
"The place where Dali Temple keeps confidential files." After that, Zhou Shuan opened the door, "Come in."
"Why did you bring me here?"
Zhou Shuan just looked at her and didn't answer.
"Do you have anything to say, Lord Zhou, that you can't say outside?"
Zhou Shuan looked at her calmly, "Is this against me?"
Speaking of which, Shen Yan could only bite the bullet and walk in, Zhou Shuan closed the door with his hand back, and with a "dang" sound, the surroundings immediately plunged into darkness.
"Master Zhou, don't you light the lamp?" Shen Yan was always standing not far from the door.
With the sound of footsteps, Zhou Shuan slowly approached her with an oil lamp in hand.
Walking behind her, he lit the lamp, tilted the silver lamp in his hand slightly, and sprinkled all the light and shadow on the slender neck.
The purple marks covered with the fat powder were instantly visible.
Shen Yan's heart suddenly fell, and she couldn't stand the smell of a strange man beside her ears...
She held her breath and took a step to the left, her beautiful eyes widening, "Master Zhou."
Zhou Shuan put the oil lamp on the table, three words overflowing from thin lips, "Who made it

Although the song is in English, but watching this pair is inexplicably very emotional.
