Master Hui was a little surprised when he saw Shen Jingshu and Yang Huilan coming, but he quickly figured it out, "Jingshu, Huilan, come in and sit down!"
"Thank you, master!" The two looked at each other, seeing Master Hui's unsurprised expression, both were a little puzzled.
"There is something on the table, what you like to eat, take it yourself, don't be polite!"
"Thank you, Master Hui!" For a while, Shen Jingshu didn't know how to speak, but quietly took the food on the table and ate. Just as he was thinking about how to speak, Master Hui put down the cup in his hand, looked at the two girls, and sighed, "You are not just here to see me today, are you? But there are other things?" In fact, she She also guessed it, but she didn't know whether to let the two people in front of her join in on some things. After all, it was their family background. Even if they were the daughters of officials, they couldn't just intervene casually.
"Master, we want to ask about Xinhe. I heard that she is ill. Has Mrs. Kong asked you for leave?" Seeing Master Hui mentioning it, Shen Jingshu asked directly. Master Hui looked at the two and ordered Nodded, "It is true that she asked for leave, and said that Xinhe is not feeling well."
"Did Mrs. Kong say anything else? Master, Huilan and I went to see Xinhe these few days, but Mrs. Kong refused to let us see. Is Xinhe seriously ill? Does the master know something?" They don't know about the matter, Shen Jingshu believes that Mrs. Kong must have made some remarks about Master Hui's visit.
"Well, I do know something. It's just whether she is ill or what, Jingshu, Xinhe, these are not things you can control. Although you are friends, this is the Kong family's family affairs after all. Let's just stop here?" Master Hui felt sorry for Kong Xinhe, she was such a caring and intelligent child, but what can he do now? After all, outsiders like them can't intervene in the affairs of the Kong family.
"Master, do you know something?" Looking at Master Hui, Shen Jingshu believed that Master Hui must know something, otherwise she would not have said so.
"Jingshu, so what if we know? Can you still change it?" The two of them are not related to the Kong family, and they are just a child. How can they change the decision of the Kong family to be the head of the family
"I also hope that master will tell us what we know. We are Xinhe's friends, so naturally we must do our best to help her!" Shen Jingshu's expression was full of firmness and seriousness. Master Hui didn't want to annoy Shen Jingshu and the others, but seeing Seeing such a quiet look, Master Hui finally sighed, "Madam Kong came to ask me for leave that day, and I saw that she meant that she didn't intend to let Xinhe continue to come to the academy for classes. She probably will Come here and explain clearly, I think maybe the people of the Kong family have some plans?"
"What's the plan?"
"I don't know about this, but if Xinhe is not allowed to come to the academy, maybe there are some important arrangements at home, or maybe Xinhe will not be in Kong's house in the future." These are just Master Hui's guesses, although I don't know What can the two girls do, but Master Hui believes in Shen Jingshu in his heart.
Can this little guy really do it
"Master means..." There was only one possibility for Kong Xinhe to leave home. It's just that Kong Xinhe is too late for Ji, is this possible
"This is just my guess. If you have any ideas, you can ask them."
"Master, thank you!"
"No thanks, I can't help you much, there is only so much I can do now, I hope you can help her, Xinhe is a smart and good girl, if she leaves like this, it will be a loss to the academy!" Kong Xinhe has a lot of experience in studying medicine. Master Hui also likes this girl very much. She is unassuming and careful. She is indeed a good seedling for studying medicine. There is no need to worry that no one will inherit her mantle.
"Master, don't worry, it won't happen!" No matter what, she will not let her friend be unfortunate!
"Then just go ahead and do it. If you need my help, just say it!"
"Thank you master!"
…
Leaving from Master Hui, both of them felt a little depressed. Yang Huilan was really worried when she thought about what Master Hui said just now, "Jing Shu, Master means..."
"Hui Lan, it seems that Xinhe's side is in trouble. You and I will split up first, and go to inquire about the news from Zhang's side, and see if there is anything we can use!"
"You mean the Zhang family has taken action? But Xinhe didn't reach Ji, is it possible?"
"Now we can't see Xinhe, and we can't know what happened, but since the master said so, there must be her reason. Let's go and investigate first to see if this is the case. Take the opportunity to act!"
"Okay, I'll go back and let people inquire!"
"Must be quick, if this is really the case, I'm afraid this matter will be settled soon!"
"I can save it!" The two of them didn't say much at the moment, they just separated and went to work separately. Fortunately, they found the right direction, and there was news from Shen Jingshu's side soon.
"Miss, the Zhang family heard that the young master is seriously ill, so I want Miss Kong to come over and celebrate!"
"Is this true?"
"Of course it's true, but the Zhang family has kept this matter under wraps, and the two families are also discussing this matter secretly, so the slaves and servants can't find out about it."
"Okay, I see, you can think of a way to see how sick the young master of the Zhang family is."
"Yes, Miss!" Shen Jingshu naturally told Yang Huilan after receiving some information. If this happens, wouldn’t Xinhe’s life be ruined? What should I do?” Yang Huilan thought that Zhang Haoran was dissolute and not a good man, but this was a marriage arranged by her parents. There is nothing to do. But now that things are like this, it would be too wronged for Kong Xinhe to marry like this, how could Yang Huilan be willing
"This family is really too much. I'm afraid that Xinhe doesn't want to, so they are imprisoned and free. Now we have to carefully inquire about the movements of the Zhang family and the Kong family to see what consensus they have reached. That's fine. Take the opportunity to act!" Master Kong Shen Jingshu has seen it before, and he is a mercenary. This time the Zhang family wants to welcome Kong Xinhe in ahead of time, Master Kong will definitely not agree so easily, then the two parties must have an agreement, if she can know the content of the agreement, and can get in the way, it may be a marriage between the two parties, then it can be settled up.
A woman's life is not easy in the first place, and she is lucky to have a husband. She doesn't want her friend to be so ruined in this life.
"But Jingshu, although we intend to help, but this is the family matter of the Kong family. Can we really change it?" Although Yang Huilan was angry in her heart, but marriage matters, parents' order and matchmaker's words, how can they be children? Are you all that lucky
"If we don't try it, how do we know? Xinhe is our good friend, and we have to work hard just for her. Is it possible to watch her jump into the fire pit?" At this moment, Shen Jingshu really I have some sympathy for Kong Xinhe, why did I fall into such a father, who is mercenary, and his daughter is just a tool, how can there be any real love
"Well, okay, I will definitely do my best to help, if you need me to do anything, just say it!"
"What we have to do now is to know the exact condition of the young master Zhang and the agreement between the Zhang family and the Kong family. I can't do this alone, and I need your help!" Shen Jingshu really has no way to do it, and the only one she can rely on now is Yang Huilan.
"Don't worry, I know what to do!" After discussing with Shen Jingshu, each of them had a task, Yang Huilan left directly. When Shen Jingshu came home now, she saw Shan Banyan teasing Shen Zihan, and the nanny was watching from the side, with a kind smile on her face. Seeing such a scene, Shen Jingshu didn't know why, but suddenly wanted to cry "Mom!"
"Shu'er is back, did you have fun today?"
"Well, happy, mother, is my brother good today?"
"It's very good. I just woke up. Come on, brother Han, my sister is here. Smile!" I don't know if Shen Zihan understood, but she grinned and smiled. Shen Jingshu saw it and felt very happy. , "Hehe, brother Han laughed, brother Han laughed, mother!"
"Yeah, Brother Han is happy to know that sister is back, isn't it, Brother Han?" Although Brother Han can't speak now, but this kind of cooperation makes everyone feel very good. Shen Jingshu looked at Shen Zihan's smile, and then at Shan Banyong's loving expression, a warm current flowed through her heart.
She is really happy. Her parents love her. In the future, she doesn't have to worry too much about her unsatisfactory marriage. Compared with Xinhe, she is much luckier. She must not let Xinhe marry like her previous life. Such an unbearable person made himself so miserable in the end!
…
In the following days, Shen Jingshu went out from time to time, always running to the pharmacy. She also wanted to know which doctor the Zhang family hired, so that she could know how the Zhang family was doing.
But for some reason, Shen Jingshu had no way of finding out who went to see the young master of the Zhang family, and the news from inquiring was useless. Seeing the passing of time day by day, Shen Jingshu was also a little anxious.
She has gone to all the famous medical clinics in the capital, but it seems that Zhang's family has invited none of them. Regarding this, Shen Jingshu was very puzzled, but she didn't know what went wrong. I had to discuss it with Yang Huilan, and the two went to see Kong Xinhe together, but they still didn't see each other, but the Kong family seemed to be getting busy, although there was no celebration, but Shen Jingshu knew that this good thing might be coming soon .
"Jingshu, what should I do? The Kong family and the Zhang family have covered this matter tightly, and I really can't find out anything. But what should I do?" There was no progress for a few days, but now it is getting worse. It's worrying.
"Don't worry, since they have such preparations, they will definitely let us find out something. Let's investigate more! If it doesn't work, we can only hire someone to investigate."
"Jingshu, is this okay?"
"That's the only way to do it." Now Shen Jingshu really hated herself for being incompetent at the moment. Parting from Yang Huilan, walking on the street, Shen Jingshu thought of Kong Xinhe, and couldn't help thinking of herself in her previous life. If that young master is not a good man, isn't Xinhe worse than himself in the previous life
What should she do
As she walked, Shen Jingshu was a little lost. She never thought that there was a carriage speeding up in the distance, and she seemed to have lost control. Shen Jingshu didn't notice it, and Chun Xiao who was beside her was also frightened, "Miss, ah !" Seeing that this tragedy was about to happen, before Shen Jingshu had time to dodge, she felt a force in her waist, and she was pulled away.
"Thank you, thank you!" Looking at the other party in shock, Shen Jingshu didn't have time to be surprised when the other party's words of reproach came, "Why are you so careless? Don't you even look at the road when you walk?" With a cold appearance, when his emotions rarely change, he is really worried now that he is like this.
"I made Prince Duan worry, thank you!" Looking at the other party in surprise, Shen Jingshu didn't know if it was her own illusion, she actually saw a trace of panic in Prince Duan's eyes. Duan Wang Shizi was looked at by her, but he realized that he was a little abrupt at the moment, and quickly withdrew his hand, but he was a little reluctant in his heart, "It's good that you are fine, and you must be careful when you walk in the future!" What's the matter, why are you so scared? Just like losing my mother and concubine back then, my heart is so nervous and painful.
"I see." Nodding her head, Shen Jingshu is now afraid when she thinks about the scene just now.
Why did the carriage suddenly lose control on the main road? It really shouldn't be.
"It's good to know, what were you thinking just now? Why didn't you know how to dodge when you saw the carriage coming?"
"Thinking about something, not paying attention."
"You!" Looking helplessly at Shen Jingshu, seeing that Shen Jingshu was in a bad mood, Prince Duan was a little worried, "What's wrong with you? But I'm scared, I don't think you look very well?"
"It's okay, I guess I was scared, just take a rest."
"Why don't I send you back, I don't worry if you are like this!"
"No, thank you!" Subconsciously refused, but remembering that the other party saved her life, Shen Jingshu couldn't be too repulsive at the moment, "Thank you just now, son, if it weren't for son, I'm afraid I can't do it now It's easy to stand here and talk!" She was indeed too careless just now.
"It's good that you're fine, let's go, I'll take you back!" Shen Jingshu didn't refuse this time, Prince Duan had his own way, "I just happened to go to Master Shen to discuss something, but it was just on the way, let's go together Bar!"
"If that's the case, then there will be Lao Shizi!"
"My carriage is just ahead, please!"
"My son, please first!" There was no way to refuse, so Shen Jingshu had no choice but to follow Prince Duan into the carriage. Shen Jingshu didn't talk much along the way. Prince Duan knew that Shen Jingshu had something on his mind, but he also knew that Shen Jingshu would not say anything. , It was useless for him to ask. What's more, the relationship between the two is not so familiar yet, is it
"Master, we're here!"
"Okay, Miss Shen, please!" I wanted to help Shen Jingshu get out of the car, but I didn't expect Shen Jingshu to jump directly, "I will remember the kindness of Prince Duan today, and Prince Duan will bid farewell!" He left in a hurry, Prince Duan looked at Shen Jingshu's back, remembered Shen Jingshu's distraught look just now, and frowned, "Shuang, go check and see what troubles Ms. Shen has been having lately."
"Master, this is not good, is it?" Seeing that Prince Duan cares so much about Shen Jingshu, Shuang is a little worried.
"I'll let you go, I'll give you an hour, tell me right away!"
"Yes, master!" He left soon. Although Shuang was worried, he still followed Prince Duan's orders and quickly found out the matter. When Prince Duan came out of Shen's residence, Shuang would immediately Reported, "My lord, Miss Shen seems to be worrying about her friends recently."
"what happened?"
"Miss Shen had a good time with Miss Kong in the academy, but that Miss Kong hadn't come to the academy for some days. Moreover, Miss Shen and Miss Yang didn't seem to meet each other when they went to see her. Miss Shen might be worried about this matter. .”
"Miss Kong, but the rich merchant Kong's family?" Prince Duan still knew about this rich family in the south of the Yangtze River.
"Yes, my son!"
"Go and find out what's going on with the Kong family!"
"This subordinate also knows something. The young lady of the Kong family has a marriage contract with the young master of the Zhang family. The young master of the Zhang family has been ill recently, so I want to rejoice and let the young lady of the Kong family marry in advance!" I have to say that Shuang's efficiency is still very high , It's only been an hour, and things are almost done.
"Is there anything else?" Seeing Shuang like this, he knew that he must not have finished.
"Although this is the case on the surface, it's just that when I went to investigate today, I found that there is nothing wrong with the young master of the Zhang family. He even appeared in Yihong Courtyard today." Yihong Courtyard knew where it was after hearing the name, Duan Wang Shizi has been in Jiangnan for more than a year, and naturally he has deployed a lot. It is not difficult to investigate one thing.
"That is to say, his body is fine?"
"That's true. Not only is it harmless, but it's also very good. He even asked a few people to serve him today!"
"Then what the hell is going on?"
"Master, it's too late for this subordinate to investigate!" Prince Duan's son gave limited time, and Shuang wanted to come back to report. Of course, he didn't investigate some things. But he believed that Prince Duan would almost know what was going on after finding out here.
"Go and check as soon as possible, I want to see what the hell is going on with the Zhang family!"
"Yes, master!" Although Shuang felt that this was a little overkill, but Shuang did not dare to disobey the order of Duan Wang Shizi, so she had to go without complaint.
…
Shen Jingshu slept a little unsteadily that night. In her dream, she always had the despair of being framed and lost her innocence in her previous life, and finally being thrown into that icy lake. She woke up the next day, covered in sweat!
"Miss, did you have a nightmare?" Seeing that Shen Jingshu's complexion was not looking good, Chunmei was a little worried.
"I'm fine!" Shaking her head, she didn't sleep well that night, and Shen Jingshu's complexion was also bad, she got up to tidy up, Shen Jingshu was in a bad mood, so she wanted to go for a walk.
When she came to the courtyard, Shen Jingshu just sat down when she saw a familiar figure. Seeing that it was the prince Duan, Shen Jingshu was a little surprised, but she quickly saluted, "The prince Duan!"
"Miss Shen is not feeling well? It's windy outside, so it's best to rest!" Seeing Shen Jingshu's complexion, Prince Duan felt a little distressed. He deliberately came here today to help, but seeing Shen Jingshu's expression now, Prince Duan is even more determined to help.
"Thank you for your concern, my son, I can save it."
"Take care of yourself!" I ordered, there are so many people here, Prince Duan didn't want to say anything, and finally went to find Shen Wenhua. Today I came here just to play chess with Shen Wenhua, just to talk, but he just came yesterday, and Shen Wenhua is a little surprised to come again today, but Shen Wenhua is also happy to have someone with him, "It's great that the prince is here, I'm worried No one will play chess with me!"
"So I just came here!" After killing a few rounds, Shen Wenhua and Prince Duan drew a tie. This is still a rare thing, and Shen Wenhua's mood suddenly became better. Those who have improved can now be tied with the prince." Although Prince Duan's son is much younger than Shen Wenhua, Shen Wenhua is still slightly inferior in chess skills.
"Master Shen is a master of middle school, but I was lucky before."
"The son of the world is absurd!"
"It seems that I am not suitable for playing chess today, Master Shen, let's continue to fight another day!" I came here today because I was just worried about Shen Jingshu, so I came here specially to have a look. Originally thought that it would take a lot of trouble to meet Shen Jingshu, but I never thought that luck would be good, Prince Duan didn't stay long, and left soon, but Shen Wenhua was a little bit unsatisfied, "Well, let's continue another day!" Prince Duan If he wanted to leave, Shen Wenhua couldn't stay, so he personally sent Prince Duan away. Prince Duan walked out of Shen's mansion, thinking about Shen Jingshu's face, and finally made a decision, "Shuang, there is one thing, you should do it well!"
"Yes!" After hearing Prince Duan's order, Shuang disapproved a little, "Master, it's better for us to take care of this matter as little as possible. Now that your wings are not yet full-fledged, it's not good if you startle the snake."
"It doesn't matter, what I tell you to do, you do it!" Prince Duan's attitude was very firm, Shuang knew that he could not change Prince Duan's decision, so he had to go, "Yes, prince!"
"Keep it secret, don't let anyone find out, and you must break off the marriage between the Kong family and the Zhang family!" He didn't want to see her so worried.
"Yes, master!" Because of this incident, Shuang became more dissatisfied with Shen Jingshu.
In the past, the master was cold and cold-hearted, and didn't care about anything. The master has worked hard these years, and now it is not easy to build up his own power bit by bit, and he has to be careful. Now this action, in case someone finds out, what should I do? Isn't the master's forbearance for so many years in vain
Although she was reluctant in her heart, Shuang still tried her best to do it. No, one day Mr. Zhang suddenly fell ill in Yihong Courtyard. It is said that when he was carried back, he only saw a woman with a big belly crying her heart broke. Soon after, it was reported that Mr. Zhang had a secret relationship with a maid in the mansion. , that servant girl has a big belly now, but Mr. Zhang still keeps her, hoping to marry Miss Kong's family to be the ready-made mistress.
The Zhang family lied that Mr. Zhang was ill and married Kong Xinhe and entered the house early. Everyone scolded Mr. Zhang for being shameless and felt sorry for Kong Xinhe. At this time, it was also revealed that Kong Xinhe was a student of Huixin Academy, but she had just asked for leave for a long time, fearing that she was about to marry. Everyone speculated whether this was related to Mr. Zhang's marriage to Kong Xinhe. Suddenly, the Zhang family became the target of public criticism. Everyone scolded Mr. Zhang for not obeying the rules, and many people brought out Mr. Zhang's crime of robbing civilian girls. Mr. Zhang didn't even dare to leave the house. Therefore, Mr. Kong was considered a prostitute for glory! She was ashamed to see anyone, Madam Kong was heartbroken when she heard all this, "My lord, Xinhe is our own daughter after all, the people from the Zhang family want to make Zhe trample on our daughter, how can we return it?" Can you marry them?"
"This marriage has been booked a long time ago, how can I just push it away like this? You are shameless, I want it!" At this time, the Zhang family is also afraid that the Kong family will go back on their word. The girl got married, so she raised her bargaining chips, cooperated with Master Kong a lot, and even made a lot of money, Master Kong was also a little moved.
"Master, are you so cruel? Xinhe is also your biological daughter!"
"Even if it's a biological daughter, the parents are the ones who make the most of this marriage. A businessman makes the most important promise, how can he keep his word? What's more, the Zhang family has already promised me to deal with that maid, so that Xinhe won't really pass away." She became a concubine!" As soon as the daughter entered the house, she had a concubine and a concubine, which was indeed a slap in the face of the woman, and of course Master Kong would not agree.
He still needs to rely on this marriage to strengthen the cooperation between the two families, and then share a piece of the Zhang family's pie!
"But the Zhang family lied to us so much, and I heard that the girl's stomach is already sitting firmly, how could they be willing? The kid from the Zhang family is an only child, will they really do this?" Zhang Haoran is the only son of the Zhang family, Although it's not good to make a servant girl's stomach bigger, but the Zhang family values children, maybe this matter will be covered up and passed away, otherwise they won't come here before pretending to be sick, Mrs. Kong doesn't believe it!
"Okay, I have my own opinion on this matter, and you should be optimistic about it!" Of course, Master Kong would not let go of this good opportunity to kill Zhang's family, and naturally refused to listen to Mrs. Kong, insisting on his own opinion to complete the marriage. Madam cried so much that she couldn't eat.
"Daughter, it's useless to be a mother, I'm sorry!" Looking at her daughter's age like a flower, and thinking of her husband's cruelty, Mrs. Kong really didn't know what to do.
"Mother, don't worry, maybe this is my daughter's life? If I really can't fight my life, maybe this is my end, don't be sad, don't fight against daddy, it's not good for you!" There are a lot of girls, Master Kong is ruthless, and Kong Xinhe is really worried that her mother will be wronged for her own sake.
"Hey, I'm useless!" Mrs. Kong is also cowardly. Although she loves her daughter, she doesn't have the skills and courage. How can she help her daughter
"It's okay, mother!" Kong Xinhe was also in a bad mood these days, and wanted to ask for help, but she also knew that Shen Jingshu and Yang Huilan were still children, so how could she help her? She doesn't want her friends to worry, and now she can only obediently stay at home and watch the development of the situation!
Now that this is happening, she thought it would be beneficial to her, but she didn't expect her biological father to be so cruel!
Is God going to kill her
Kong Xinhe couldn't help feeling a little desolate in her heart.
"Hey, my poor daughter!" Mrs. Kong couldn't persuade Master Kong, and now she could only hold her daughter and cry. Kong Xinhe was in a bad mood, and she had to comfort her mother, and she was really depressed, but there was nothing she could do.
What is going on with this matter? It stands to reason that the members of the Zhang family must have kept it a secret. How could it be known all of a sudden? Who is helping her behind this? Is it possible to reverse the current situation
…
When Kong Xinhe was about to despair, the news spread that Mr. Kong sold his daughter for glory. As a result, Mr. Kong suffered repeated setbacks in business, and even lost several large deals. In the end, Mr. Kong had no choice but to be with The Zhang family canceled the engagement. The Zhang family was unwilling at first, but after this incident, it still hurt the root cause. It seemed that there was a hand behind the manipulation. The Zhang family lost a lot in just a few days. Under the pressure of public opinion In the end, the Zhang family could only agree to dissolve the engagement with the Kong family, and even the maid's fetus was lost in Mr. Zhang's anger.
The matter ended like this, everything came too fast and ended too fast, the Zhang family and the Kong family lost a lot of reputation due to this incident, but they settled down for a while, while Shen Jingshu Waiting for the development of things this day, I also felt incredible when I learned of such a result.
"Hehe, Jingshu, it really pays off for those who care. Now that Xinhe and that Zhang family boy have broken off their engagement, they will never have to face that scum again!" Yang Huilan is very happy, and Shen Jingshu has also Secretly fueling the flames, otherwise how could the matter be resolved so quickly
"Well, Xinhe doesn't have to worry about it in the future."
"Who are you talking about? They know so much about the Zhang family's affairs. If someone hadn't said it, we wouldn't have known about it! I thought it would be bad enough for Xinhe to go to the wedding, but if she really married, it would be a ready-made Mother, it’s okay that the other party gave birth to a girl, and she’s still a son, won’t Xinhe’s life be very miserable in the future?” The eldest son was born before the first son was born, which shows that this family does not understand the rules, and the difficult days in the future will be difficult. One can imagine.
This businessman is indeed only interested in profit. Which of the real famous families will let the eldest son be born first
"Hmm!" Who is helping her? I didn't have a clue before, and I couldn't even start, but suddenly I felt enlightened, and everything was solved at once...
Somewhat absent-minded, the worried expression of Duan Wangshizi that day suddenly flashed across his mind. Thinking about it carefully, didn't everything start to go smoothly because he met that person
But is it really him
Why should he help her
