That day, Shen Zangfeng went to Su's house to pick up his wife after leaving for work. Wei Changying had already coaxed Shen Zangning to get ready, packed his things and waited together.
It's just that the sister-in-law is not as close as her brother. Although Shen Zangning had promised to go together before, when she saw Shen Zangfeng, she pulled him aside again. Ai Ai asked Mrs. Su whether she was still angry these days and whether it would be dangerous for her to go back now.
Because he was in front of Mrs. Deng and others, Shen Zangfeng scolded with a straight face: "Now that you know how to be afraid, why were you acting so nonsense before?"
Shen Zangning fiddled with her sleeves and said aggrievedly: "I even apologized to my fifth cousin, and my fifth cousin said he didn't blame me anymore."
Mrs. Deng naturally wanted to smooth things over for her granddaughter: "It's just a parrot. Your fifth cousin also raised it for many years before he became angry. After all, he is still angry with those blind people before. I don't know how to persuade him." , making the masters angry with each other! Now that your fifth cousin has calmed down, of course he won't be angry anymore - if he dares to do this just for a plaything, grandma will beat him for you first!"
Su Yuwu was also there at this time. Hearing this, he sighed and said, "Grandma, I already said I don't care."
"That's because your cousin is so generous. It would be strange if he didn't make a grudge against an outsider!" Shen Zangfeng continued to scold his sister with a sullen face, but then quickly added, "Because your grandma speaks for you, your fifth cousin doesn't care. Come on, let me spare you this time! If there is a next time..."
Shen Zangning raised his hands smartly and said: "I don't dare to do it anymore!"
Mrs. Deng felt sorry for her again and scolded Shen Zangfeng for being too harsh. After some pleasantries, she symbolically allowed them to stay for dinner. Shen Zangfeng declined, saying that he had never asked his parents before going back too late, so the old lady let them go. Now, let Su Yuwu send them off.
After leaving the old lady, Shen Zangning bared his teeth and claws at Su Yuwu and threatened: "Next time you raise a parrot, if you raise it again, I will eat it for you! Isn't it just a parrot? You have made me so much trouble. I don’t dare to go home for days. If I get beaten when I go back today, I will definitely come back to beat you out of anger!”
Su Yuwu snorted and said: "You have the nerve to tell me? You have a turtle in your house and you are so precious - what is that turtle worth? It can't even speak. If I boil your turtle What do you do?"
Shen Zangning jumped three feet high and said angrily: "Then I will fight with you!"
"Shut up!" Shen Zangfeng shouted angrily, "How dare you say that! If you disrespect your cousin again, I will report it to my mother and throw away that turtle of yours!"
"Third brother, you are my brother!" Shen Zangning took his arm and shook it aggrievedly, "Now that I am no longer with my grandmother, why don't you help me?"
Su Yuwu glanced at her sideways and was about to speak when Shen Zangfeng said coldly: "You still need my help? I'm still teaching you a lesson. You're about to beat your fifth cousin in front of me. Got it!"
Shen Zang frowned, eyes red with grievance, threw away his arm, walked forward angrily, and stopped talking.
Wei Changying knew that Shen Zangfeng said this just because Shen Zangning behaved so arrogantly while Su Yuwu was around, and Shen Zangfeng always wanted to discipline Shen Zangning. But she knew that Shen Zangning had taken the blame for Deng, so she couldn't help but feel pitiful for this sister-in-law, so she rushed over to hold her arm and whispered: "Fourth sister, don't be upset, your third brother said the same thing." , don’t argue with her!”
Shen Zangning refused to let her hold his arm with a straight face, muttering: "I insist on arguing with him! I threatened the fifth cousin a few times, but the fifth cousin didn't let me go, and the third brother couldn't wait to help him. What are you doing? My fifth cousin is older than me, and he’s my cousin, can’t you let me order it?” He said, his mouth flattening, and he was about to cry.
Wei Changying hurriedly coaxed: "Yes, yes, they are too stingy! Sister-in-law, help you tell them." He revealed his identity as his cousin and said to Su Yuwu, "My cousin is also true. Zang Ning is young, you It's brother, what's wrong with letting her go?" As he said this, he winked at Su Yuwu.
Su Yuwu had no choice but to bow to Shen Zang and said perfunctorily: "My cousin is right. Fourth cousin, please don't argue with me. It's because I'm too narrow-minded!"
Shen Zangning raised his head, looked at the sky without looking at him, and hummed from his nostrils: "You are so pitiful, and my sister-in-law intercedes with you, I have a lot of money, so I will spare you this time!"
"..." Wei Zhang Ying held his forehead and glanced at Su Yuwu apologetically, but Su Yuwu said "I knew it was like this". Obviously the Su and Shen families were in the same imperial capital, and the juniors played together since they were young. Su Yuwu knew very well what kind of temperament Shen Zangning had. It was not surprising at all that she just followed the stick.
Shen Zangfeng couldn't stand it anymore and kept talking about his sister. Wei Changying glared at him and whispered: "The carriage is just ahead, so don't join in the fun!"
But when it came to the carriage, Mrs. Su took her daughter in the same carriage back to her parents' home to visit Mrs. Deng. The carriage also left when she left. Now that Shen Zangning was going back, she naturally rode with Shen Zangfeng and Wei Changying.
Shen Zangfeng gave up his seat to his sister and rode the horse he borrowed from Su Mansion when he was on a business trip. He made an appointment to return it in two days - Su Yuwu told him not to be polite.
Such a farewell.
On the way back, Shen Zangning felt uneasy, and repeatedly asked Wei Zhangying whether he would be beaten if he went back, because there were confidants in the car, and Shen Zangning's two maids, Pipa and Qiangdi, were also her personal attendants. He said implicitly: "Fourth sister is very righteous, but you should tell your mother about everything, so as not to misunderstand her."
Shen Zangning was stunned when he heard this and said, "How did you know?" Then he suddenly realized, "Did your third aunt tell you?"
Wei Zhangying said: "That's right. Third aunt is also afraid that you will be punished by your mother after you go back."
"Alas!" Shen Zangning sighed and said, "It's not like you don't know. If mother knew the reason, why would she be willing to let me take the blame for my eldest cousin? I must tell the truth. What will my eldest cousin do? What? I'm here to take the blame, and you saw it, third sister-in-law. Anyway, I just got a few words, and at most I went home and told my mother to do something about the family, and the matter would be over. "
Wei Changying felt that she was too kind-hearted, so he reminded: "Actually, when the truth of the matter is revealed, although the eldest cousin is not as easy to escape as you, the fourth sister. But she will not be divorced and go home. As for saying that she can't live like this No, it’s impossible.”
Shen Zangning didn't want to hear this, but looked at her speechlessly and said, "Of course I know."
"..." Wei Changying thought for a while and then said, "Then why does the fourth sister still take the blame for the eldest cousin?"
Shen Zangning said: "Have you ever seen that my cousin's sleeves are slightly rolled up, and there are black and blue fingerprints all over her body..."
Wei Changying was shocked: "How dare my aunt beat my cousin like this?!"
Even if someone's legitimate mother adopts a concubine's daughter, or a stepmother adopts a concubine's daughter, they don't dare to show such obvious injuries if they are mistreated. If someone sees it, isn't it a ready-made handle? Qian's abuse of Deng was so blatant
Shen Zangning glared at her and muttered: "The third sister-in-law is so stupid. Is the eldest aunt such a stupid person?"
Although she said this rudely, she was still young and looked innocent. The maids all covered their sleeves and chuckled. Wei Changying didn't care. He touched her temples and said, "Yes, third sister-in-law is stupid..." Can you tell me why my eldest cousin has such scars on her body?"
She thought suspiciously that it couldn't be Su Ruoqian's doing, right
Shen Zangning whispered, "My cousin pinched it herself!"
"...!" Guard Chief Ying was stunned, but then he understood, "Is it for... her child?" Deng had given birth to such a daughter since she entered the house. She was tortured to death by her mother-in-law before she even had a name, and she couldn't express the pain in her heart. , but torture yourself to express your feelings
When Shen Zangning heard this, she narrowed her eyes and said, "Ah, my third aunt has told you everything today?"
Wei Changying choked, then laughed and said: "Third aunt said that the fourth sister is very smart. I also said that I have only been in the family for a short time and am not very familiar with the fourth sister's temperament. Now I know that what the third aunt said is true!"
"Of course I am extremely smart!" Shen Zangning nodded, unceremoniously agreed with this evaluation, and then said sadly, "But now your smart and kind-hearted fourth sister is going to be beaten, what should you do? "
Wei Changying was a little dumbfounded: "Didn't you just say that at most you would be beaten if you went back? Why are you worried now?"
"Are you not afraid?" Shen Zangning groaned, leaned on the steering wheel, and said dullly, "Mother, Aunt Tao is the most selfless, and she doesn't hold back at all when she fights. It hurts!"
Wei Changying couldn't help but said: "Actually, I just don't understand that since you want to take the blame for your cousin, why did you have to send the parrot to the kitchen? If you admit that you took away my cousin's parrot, wouldn't the crime be lighter, mother? You won’t be so angry?”
Shen Zangning raised his head and said, "Hey, third aunt didn't tell sister-in-law? The death of the parrot..."
"... quietly send a trustworthy person out to bury it, and then let it fly away if you don't carefully let go." Wei Changying whispered.
"...!" Shen Zangning was speechless for a long time, then smacked his forehead and said angrily, "Yes! I just said it would be fine if I just flew away? Then the fifth cousin wouldn't be so angry, maybe he was thinking about If he goes to look for a parrot, why would he lose his temper? If he doesn’t lose his temper, my mother won’t get angry... Well, it seems I’m still not smart enough. I’ll have to ask my sister-in-law for advice if I encounter this kind of thing in the future!”
Wei Changying quickly said: "Actually, I am just a bystander. Let's put it this way. If I were in it, I might not be able to think of this idea." She thought to herself, I just said it casually, don't do anything bad in the future. They all came to me for help, so should I give you advice or expose you? Neither!
Shen Zangning clenched her fists and said, "Anyway, I've memorized this method. Next time something similar happens, I'll know what to say."
Wei Changying wiped his sweat and changed the subject: "Who had the idea to send this parrot to the kitchen? Is it you or my cousin?"
"My eldest cousin came from me." Shen Zangning pouted, playing with the silk ribbon hanging from her double-snail bun, and said, "My eldest cousin said she couldn't tell how she died after getting out of the kitchen."
As expected, Wei Changying was thinking about how to persuade this sister-in-law not to follow other people's wishes in the future, then Shen Zangning said: "Actually, I know that my eldest cousin has bribed the people in the kitchen and plans to Leave this matter to my aunt."
Wei Changying sighed: "Fourth sister knows everything, but have you ever thought that by doing this, you are not necessarily helping your eldest cousin? Look, now that we are going home, and fourth sister doesn't mention it herself, who knows what will happen to my eldest aunt?" What about your eldest cousin? "This is all a matter within the Su family. Mrs. Su doesn't say much. Even Su Pingzhan doesn't want Mrs. Su to say much - is it really okay for your granddaughter to intervene
Moreover, by doing this, Deng had indirectly cheated Su Yuliang, but with Qian's usual methods and temperament, how could he possibly spare her? Since Shen Zangning sympathized with Deng, he took the blame for her, but if she took the blame, Deng might not be able to live in peace!
Shen Zangning leaned towards her ear and whispered: "Sister-in-law, you will know in a few days. I am such a stupid person. Couldn't I have thought of this?"
Wei Changying asked her suspiciously: "My eldest cousin, do you have any backup plans?"
Shen Zangning wrapped her fingers around the silk ribbon, but she looked around and refused to say anything. (To be continued)
