Of course Wei Changying and his wife also knew about the difficulties Shen Liankun encountered here, but as brothers and sisters, it was not easy for them to interfere in such matters. After all, let's persuade Shen Liankun to spare the beautiful girl and her son. It's just that she has been busy for Huo Qingling in vain, and she may still have to complain; if she is advised to persuade Shen Liankun to act according to the rules, that beautiful girl is nothing, but in her belly After all, he is still a member of the Shen family. What if Shen Liankun regrets it in the future
So Wei Changying and Shen Zangfeng pretended to be confused and let Shen Liankun figure it out on his own.
After two or three days of this, Shen Liankun was still not sure what to do. On the other hand, Shen Shuyan returned from Prince Ning's Mansion alone and angrily.
After she came back, she went straight to the backyard. The little maid who was guarding the door of the back hall had no time to notify her, so she broke in. Fortunately, Wei Changying was just joking with Huang and others at this time, not discussing any important matters. , not afraid of being disturbed.
She was very surprised to see her niece bumping into her like this. Before asking, Shen Shuyan threw herself into her arms and burst into tears!
This cry frightened Wei Changying and others into a panic. They hurriedly supported and persuaded. It took a long time to get Shen Shuyan to calm down. Wei Changying pulled her to sit down next to him and asked nervously: " What happened? Who has wronged you?"
She was really thinking about these two nieces Shen Shujing and Shen Shuyan. Wei Changying thought that he knew them very well. According to the current level of favor in Prince Ning's house, at the banquet between the female family members, no matter how much they went too far, they should Have a sense of proportion. What's more, both Shen Shujing and Shen Shuyan are called Huizhilanxin. Even if everyone attacks them, they are not easy to deal with.
Furthermore, can Shen Shuyan and Ji Yiren help
Why is Shen Shuyan now so wronged that she comes back alone to cry to herself
If Wei Changying hadn't met Mo Binwei several times and saw that this person didn't look like such a dirty person, he would have suspected that Mo Binwei had gone to Longwangshu to take advantage of Shen Shuyan in private - otherwise Shen Shuyan had a sister and brother-in-law Protecting her, how could she suffer any loss by greeting ladies of similar origins on behalf of her sister in Ning Prince's Mansion
Fortunately, Shen Shuyan came back after holding back her grievances all the way. She was tired of crying just now. Now she was coaxed by Wei Changying and the Huang family for a while, and finally said it out: "I want to break off the engagement with Wei Shanshi!"
"What did you say?!" Guard Chief Ying was stunned!
Mrs. Huang was stunned, turned around quickly, and said sternly: "Anyone who dares to tell anyone about what the Fourth Miss said to others will be beaten to death!"
The servants below all knew Huang's methods, and they all knelt down and promised: "The servants will never talk too much!"
"Everyone who is idle, get out!" Wei Changying took a deep breath, calmed down, ordered his subordinates to exit, hugged Shen Shuyan, and asked seriously, "Didn't you agree before? You even accepted the token, why are you regretting it now? Did you hear bad news about Wei Shanshi? "
She was filled with shock and anger at the moment. Shen Zangfeng had chosen Wei Shanshi personally for her niece. With the help of her parents' family, Wei Changying also consulted Mrs. Song, who could be said to have watched Wei Shanshi grow up.
It is said that several elders have carefully checked this candidate, and this candidate should be foolproof - even if there are flaws, they are just small details.
Shen Shuyan's temper in the past two years is no longer as fierce as before, and she is more tolerant of people's mistakes—generally speaking, she is much more sensible. If he hadn't heard Wei Shanshi's very bad behavior, he wouldn't have publicly called out about breaking off the engagement, right
Wei Changying was in a cold sweat thinking that if Wei Shanshi was really bad, in order to get rid of the endless stream of matchmakers who came to his door, he had asked Wei Changfeng to let out the news that Shen Shuyan was destined to Wei Shanshi. Now this But what to do…
She didn't want Shen Shuyan to cry but asked her: "Aunt, please tell me the truth. In Wei Shanshi's marriage, did I steal Miss Liu's fiancé?!"
"... Nonsense!" Wei Changying was stunned by this question. It took him a while to wake up. He was so angry that he slapped several cases. Huang quickly advised her: "Stop your anger! Stop your anger! Where are you now?" Can you hold back your anger?"
At this moment, Shen Shuyan also remembered that her aunt was pregnant. She ignored the tears on her face and hurriedly persuaded Wei Changying to come with Huang.
After both the aunt and nephew calmed down, Wei Changying suppressed his anger and said, "Who told you all this?"
Shen Shuyan said aggrievedly: "Just now, the eldest sister hosted a banquet for guests, and there were several young ladies from the Liu family in Donghu. They entered the flower hall with me and my wife, and left the hall in front of the eldest sister and the ladies. Something was wrong! Later, I got impatient and dragged one of them to a corner to tell her clearly - why on earth could she target me like this? A cousin was engaged, but I robbed her! I... I... "
At this point, I felt ashamed and wronged, and couldn't help crying again.
Wei Changying scolded with a livid face: "I used to say you were smart, why are you so confused now?! Do you believe whatever the Liu family says? Between me, my aunt, and what your third uncle said, the strong wind blows Just listen to it?”
Mrs. Huang also said from the side: "Fourth Miss, you are confused this time. Don't you want to think that Wei Shanshi is the direct nephew of my wife's mother's family! In the former Wei Dynasty, old Jingping Gong was the direct descendant of the lineage, which is not inferior to that of our Xiliang people." Shen's family background! Would such a family regret their marriage? Miss Liu said that it was probably because they wanted to marry Miss Liu but failed. My husband’s family is happy, but I’m deliberately trying to trick you!”
"But that Miss Liu family took out... took out the manuscript of poems written by Wei Shanshi. If there was no such thing, how could the manuscript of Wei Shanshi's poems be in her hands?" Shen Shuyan took the handkerchief. Wiping his eyes, he choked and said, "I have read the poem manuscript, and the handwriting is indeed Wei Shanshi's. The content... Although the content is an ordinary chant, there is quite a lot of emotion in it... "
When Shen Zangfeng and Wei Changying were in Fengzhou before, they inspected Wei Shanshi's homework. Because Shen Shuyan did not follow him to Fengzhou, when Shen Zangfeng sent Shen Shuguang and Wei Shanshi to "ask for advice", he asked for a batch of the latter's poems to bring back to the imperial capital for Shen Shuyan to review.
After all, Shen Shuyan didn't see the person in person, so she could only show her the other person's poems to increase her familiarity.
How picky is Shen Shuyan's vision? Fortunately, Wei Shanshi also had real talent and knowledge. Although Shen Shuyan did not find his poems amazing after reading them, she also rated them as "good" - it was her good words that made Shen Zangfeng and Wei Changying confront each other. I feel completely relieved about this marriage. Since Shen Shuyan has read Wei Shanshi's poems, why can't she recognize her fiancé's handwriting
"Have you forgotten where our Wei Shanshi poems came from?" Wei Changying said speechlessly, "Guang'er asked for it under the pretext of asking for advice. If Guang'er can ask for it, can't others ask for it? Besides, Wei Changying It’s not like Shanshi just started learning poetry and calligraphy today! He has learned how to do it now. He didn’t know how many things he used to practice writing in the past - maybe he should put them all away, right? Give it to the servants and send it to the kitchen to burn! Some servants took some from it, do you think anyone will come to check it?"
Seeing Shen Shuyan's hesitant look, she added, "And Wei Shanshi's step-grandmother, the one I call my cousin, is the daughter of the Liu family of Donghu! Do you understand?!"
Shen Shuyan suddenly blushed and was speechless for a long time - she didn't speak, Wei Changying and Huang couldn't let her stand in a stalemate, and said anxiously: "There must be no problem with your marriage! This world is good There are so many men, and with your status, they are not qualified to marry you. There is absolutely no one you can't marry! So don't hesitate! The problem now is that you just threw away the job Jing'er gave you and ran away. Come back? Or cry all the way back?”
Seeing Shen Shuyan lowering her head and not daring to speak, Wei Changying and Huang's hearts went cold, and they looked at each other: "How can this situation... be smooth?!"
How to smooth things over? Shen Shuyan definitely couldn't help herself!
Wei Changying and Huang looked at each other for a moment and sighed - Wei Changying weakly said: "I'll hide for two days!"
This niece was so uncontrollable that someone took away a copy of the poem, who knew whether it was bought by a servant or secretly obtained by Xiao Liu. She excitedly abandoned all the guests and ran back - without covering up for her, the news spread to Outside, not to mention that her reputation as a child prodigy and talented woman was ruined, the Wei family, which had high hopes for her, would definitely be greatly disappointed...
For the sake of Shen Shuyan's future and the reputation of the girls in the Shen family, Wei Changying had no choice but to let the Huang family spread the news that she suddenly felt unwell and that Shen Shuyan ran back first because of her filial piety - in this way, although It still seems rude, but with the word "filial piety" at the beginning, anyone can say something.
And this can also explain why Shen Shujing and Ji Yiren didn't rush back as eagerly as Shen Shuyan: because the servants of the Shen family told Shen Shuyan, and Shen Shuyan was worried that her aunt would come back first, but she forgot to tell her sisters. ! The servant who conveyed the message—the only way a servant could take the blame for such a thing—was unreliable. In short, he not only exaggerated Wei Changying’s ailment, but also frightened Fourth Miss Shen, and even saw Shen Si. The fourth lady was in a hurry to return home and actually followed her back!
This kind of servant must be severely punished by the Shen family - as for whether there is such a servant or not, whether others believe it or not, everyone in the Shen family believes it.
"Aunt, it's all my fault..." Shen Shuyan, who knew that she had been cheated by Miss Liu, felt very guilty and apologized, "I'm too stupid!"
Wei Changying sighed: "I can't blame you entirely. This matter is different from other things. For a girl of your age, who wouldn't be ashamed first when mentioning a life-long event? But you are too high-spirited to be taken out by the Liu family. The poem manuscript of Wei Shanshi was misleading, and naturally he hated this marriage - I think it is understandable that you misunderstood this matter. After all, even we did not expect that the Liu family would get Wei Shanshi's poem manuscript. But after you misunderstood, It’s so confusing to come back without caring about anything!”
"Don't you think about it, you pulled Miss Liu into a corner to question you - other people don't know what you said and did! You just threw people away, didn't you let Miss Liu arrange for you? They Since I am deliberately trying to trick you, here is one. Besides, you said you were there to help your eldest sister, but you ended up neglecting her guests. Isn’t this a disservice? Where is your eldest sister’s face?”
Wei Changying shook his head and said, "Honestly, I'm more worried about Yi Ren when you go to Ning Prince's Mansion with Yi Ren this time! She comes from a rough background and was used to being wild when she was a child! I'm afraid that she will get into an argument with someone and take action if she can't get over it. -She is such a person! I don’t want my lover to support you this time, you will definitely be embarrassed this time!”
Shen Shuyan's face turned red and white after being talked about, and she couldn't say a word.
"Forget it, when you come back, don't go to Prince Ning's Mansion again... follow your Aunt Huang more and learn a lot!" Wei Changying lectured her for a while, then felt her interest was waning and said, "I'm afraid someone will come tomorrow or the next day. Look at me, do you remember what Aunt Huang told you not to mess up again?"
Shen Shuyan said ashamedly: "Yes!" (To be continued)
