Seeing that her young lady was not in the right mood, although Guerlain didn't know what happened, she still complied. She was going to throw out the basket of dark pies, but was stopped by Shang Wanqing down.
Shang Wanqing looked at the basket of pies and smelled the faint burnt smell, the expression on her face became more serious.
"Don't throw it away, I'll take these to my grandmother."
Hearing what Shang Wanqing said, Guerlain said strangely: "Miss, is this not good? Where can I eat this pie?"
Although the pie was made by the little highness himself, it was completely uneatable, so they just threw it away secretly, why bring it to Mrs. Hou
Shang Wanqing didn't explain too much to Guerlain, and she didn't pretend to be someone else, she stood up with the basket in her hand, and then walked quickly towards the door.
Seeing her own lady like this, Guerlain didn't say anything, and hurriedly followed her.
The courtyard where Shang Wanqing lived was not far from the main courtyard where Mrs. Hou was. The master and servant hurriedly walked all the way, and after a while, they had already arrived in the main courtyard.
Mrs. Hou had just coaxed Du Yueli to sleep, who couldn't bear to sleep, when she heard a servant report that Shang Wanqing had come, saying that she had something important to report.
Mrs. Hou loved her little daughter, and because she loved Wu and Wu, she loved her granddaughter as well. When she heard that she had something to report, she asked her servants to bring the master and servant up.
"Grandmother help."
As soon as Shang Wanqing came in, she knelt down. Guerlain was a little puzzled, but she knelt down along with her.
After seeing this scene, Madam Hou's expression changed slightly. She dismissed all the servants, including Guerlain, who was kneeling on the ground, and was taken out by her servants. Wanqing helped her up, and asked softly, "Wanqing, what happened? If there is anything, you can tell grandma, grandma will make the decision for you."
Seeing her grandmother's loving face, Shang Wanqing's nose felt a little sore, but fortunately she was there, she sniffed, and said in a muffled voice: "Grandma, if you can, please persuade my mother to be with you. My father and Li."
After hearing this, Madam Hou's face changed suddenly.
"Wanqing, do you know what you're talking about?"
It's one thing for me to persuade my daughter to reconcile, but as a child, how can Shang Wanqing expect her parents to reconcile? She acted like this, but she seemed a little cold.
Shang Wanqing nodded emphatically, and then she put the basket of charred pies on the table, motioning for Mrs. Hou to come and see.
Madam Hou looked around, and when she saw the basket full of black things, she was silent for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "Wanqing, what are you doing with the basket of coal?"
Shang Wanqing choked for a moment, and said, "Grandma, this is not coal, it's pie."
Mrs. Hou: "..."
She has never seen a pie of this color before, is this really edible
Before Madam Hou could figure it out, Shang Wanqing continued: "Your Highness specially asked Chang Le to give it to me. Chang Le said, Your Highness said it. As long as I see this, I will understand what he means." .”
Mrs. Hou was confused by Shang Wanqing's words, but she still didn't understand what she meant, can she understand the meaning by sending a basket of burnt pies? understand what do you mean
Seeing that Mrs. Hou didn't seem to understand what she meant, Shang Wanqing simply explained it carefully.
"Your Highness won't send me pies for no reason. These pies are either black, broken, or exposed. How can I give them away? But Your Highness chose to give them to me, and sent someone to deliver them to me." It came from my hand, indicating that this pie is for me, even if the little highness is ignorant, he would not send these things to humiliate me."
Speaking of this, Shang Wanqing paused for a moment, and then continued: "Although I haven't known Your Highness for a long time, and I haven't spent much time with him, but I know His Highness's personality, He is not a person who acts absurdly, and will not do those inconspicuous things, and if this is the case, then these pies have other meanings."
In fact, when Shang Wanqing saw this basket of pies, the first thing Shang Wanqing thought of was that His Highness was innocent, maybe she simply wanted to share with her what she made for the first time, but this idea just popped up , and was suppressed by herself.
This possibility basically does not exist, so there is only another possibility, and Guerlain's words made Shang Wanqing realize something else.
Shang Wanqing is a talented girl in Qinglan City, her name as a talented girl does not have much value, if she can get this name, she is known to be an extremely intelligent girl.
What if pie wasn't pie, but something else
The pie is deformed, the pie is black, the pie is exposed, and the bad pie will eat the bad guys...
What does this pie refer to
pie... pie... pie...
When thinking of the word cake, Shang Wanqing understood it completely.
This was a reminder from His Highness to her. Since His Highness sent these pies to the Annanhou Mansion, it meant that His Highness should have known about their family.
Thinking of all the abnormalities of my father recently, thinking of his frantic attempt to reconcile with his mother yesterday, thinking of his father's single-minded desire to marry her to that seven-rank Imperial Academy editor...
Shang Wanqing is just a little girl, even if she has some talents, she can only know a lot. She doesn't know what happened, but she knows one thing very well.
The little Highness gave her such a pile of charcoal-like pies, not for her to eat them.
Judging by her mother's appearance, she probably doesn't want to reconcile. As a daughter, she has no right to interfere with her parents' affairs, so she can only pin her hopes on Madam Hou.
Shang Wanqing told Mrs. Hou her conjecture, and after she finished speaking, she looked at Mrs. Hou nervously, her big eyes filled with tears.
"Grandmother, I really can't help it. It's already his kindness that His Highness can remind me. How can I ask what happened? If something really happened to my father, the government of the Marquis of Annan and the Ministry of War Relationship, maybe it will involve the Hou Mansion, I am not greedy for life and afraid of death, it's just, just... "
Having said this, Shang Wanqing was already in tears, and couldn't say any more.
Madam Hou opened her arms, embraced the weeping Shang Wanqing into her arms, and said softly, "Don't cry, Wanqing, grandma understands..."
Previously, she was only 80% sure, but now after receiving Shang Wanqing's words, Mrs. Hou is very sure.
It seems that Shang Bingjun really did those things, plotting against the prince is a serious crime of ransacking the family and exterminating the family, not to mention that Du Yueli is her most beloved daughter, it is not, the two families have such an in-law relationship, if something really happens to the merchant , Maybe it will involve Annan Hou Mansion.
The centuries-old foundation of the Hou Mansion cannot be destroyed in their hands.
"I agree with the matter of reconciliation."
Just as Madam Hou was comforting Shang Wanqing, a slightly hoarse voice came from the side.
Madam Hou turned her head and looked over, and saw Du Yueli who was resting in the inner room came out at some time, she didn't know how much she had heard just now, she looked very haggard at this moment, but His expression was unusually firm, apparently having made up his mind.
Shang Wanqing got up from Madam Hou's embrace, she wiped away her tears, walked quickly to Du Yueli's side, and stretched out her hand to support her.
"Mother..."
Shang Wanqing called out, but didn't know what to say, so she could only remain silent in the end.
Du Yueli was not in the mood to appease her daughter either. After making the decision to reconcile and leave, half of her life was almost lost, but for the Annanhou Mansion, for the family, and for her daughter, she couldn't just care about her own selfishness.
Shang Bingjun really did something to the members of the royal family, and the royal family should have found out what he did. The guillotine has been raised high, and the news that His Royal Highness handed over is the last kindness.
Even if she wanted to die with the merchant, she couldn't take Annanhou's mansion and her daughter with her.
Heli's book was written yesterday, as long as it is sent to the yamen for filing today, she will have nothing to do with the Ministry of War Shangshufu.
Madam Hou sent her confidantes to send He Lishu to the yamen for filing. After they came back, Madam Hou ordered some people to go to the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of War to get Du Yueli's dowry back.
When Du Yueli got married back then, as the most favored second lady in the Marquis of Annan's Mansion, she had a red makeup and envied others. Even though it has been so many years, many people still remember the grand occasion when she got married .
It can be said that more than half of the merchant's wealth comes from Du Yueli's dowry. Now that they have divorced, the dowry will naturally have to be taken back.
Madam Hou originally planned to go there in person to bring back the dowry, but Du Yueli stopped Madam Hou, saying that she could do it.
"Mother, this is my own business. I will handle it properly. After all, I have been the head of the business for so many years. No one knows the situation at home better than me."
Shang Wanqing originally wanted to go back with Du Yueli, but was rejected by Du Yueli, and Mrs. Hou refused to let her go back, and only let her wait in the Hou's mansion with peace of mind.
"You're a girl who hasn't left the cabinet. It's not suitable for meddling in this kind of thing. It's bad for your reputation. I'll send someone to follow your mother. There won't be any problem."
In the end, Mrs. Hou sent the guards of the Hou Mansion and some loyal servants to carry the dowry at the Minister of War's Mansion.
There is a dowry list, not to mention that standing behind Du Yueli is Annanhou's Mansion, so I am not afraid that Shang Bingjun will dare to renege on it.
After Du Yueli returned to the mansion, she asked people to go to her private treasury to carry the dowry without saying a word. After the sons and daughters-in-law got the news, they rushed to the main courtyard immediately. The son and daughter-in-law were in a hurry.
"Mother, what are you doing? Is there anything you can't tell Dad? Why do you have to?"
"Mother, everything is easy to discuss, you can't be so impulsive."
"Mother, even if you are at odds with your father, but you still have children like us, you are a grandmother, how can you be so self-willed?"
"Mother, even if you don't think about us, you still have to think about my younger sister. My younger sister is not married yet. If you do this, how will my younger sister deal with herself in the future?"
When she sent people to discuss matters with these sons and daughters-in-law yesterday, they all seemed to be dead, and no one showed their heads. He leaned forward to stop her.
See if what they say is human language
Du Yueli laughed angrily, and reprimanded loudly: "I am your mother, is it your turn to teach me? Since you said last night that this is about your parents, what are you doing today? What you said last night was taken by you Can you eat it?"
After losing her temper, Du Yueli didn't bother to talk to these sons and daughters-in-law. They were so selfish and selfish that it was outrageous. No one wanted to comfort her. All they said were accusations. Du Yueli just felt cold. What more to say to them
Seeing that Du Yueli couldn't be persuaded, these children were anxious.
They all know how much Du Yueli's dowry is, and the Marquis of Annan's mansion has stood for hundreds of years, how can the financial resources be comparable to ordinary people? Although the wives they each married were noble daughters, compared with Du Yueli's dowry, it was a drop in the bucket. The reason why the merchants were so rich was due to Du Yueli's dowry. But it's all theirs, and now she wants to take the dowry with her, how can they agree
Several young masters of the merchant hurriedly sent someone to invite Shang Bingjun back, and they tried to continue to persuade Du Yueli, but the guards in the Hou's mansion were not vegetarian, and they couldn't get close to Du Yueli at all.
When Shang Bingjun got the news and came back, almost all of Du Yueli's dowry had been moved.
Du Yueli was about to get into the carriage, but Shang Bingjun who came on horseback stood in front of Du Yueli, raised his whip and was about to whip Du Yueli's body.
After such a long time, the news of Du Yueli and Shang Bingjun's reconciliation almost spread throughout Qinglan City. Shang Bingjun felt ashamed, and seeing Du Yueli's posture of evacuating the entire Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, how can the anger in his heart be suppressed? have to go down
For him to lose such a big person, it would be considered light to whip her. If he hadn't taken her identity into consideration, Shang Bingjun would have wanted to beat Du Yueli, a stupid woman, to death.
Look what she has done!
The whip whizzed and smashed towards her face, Shang Bingjun was sitting high on the horse, his strikes were fast and ruthless, looking at him like that, it was as if he wished he could kill her with a whip.
Du Yueli's heart sank in an instant, the strong hatred in Shang Bingjun's eyes shattered all her friendship, she raised her hand, and suddenly grabbed the whip that was swung towards her face.
"Shang Bingjun, I am the second young lady of Annanhou's mansion, how can you humiliate me?"
"You deserve it too!"
After saying these words, Du Yueli yanked the whip and pulled Shang Bingjun off the horse.
Shang Bingjun fell heavily to the ground, and the whip in his hand was snatched away by Du Yueli.
"After today, there will be no friendship between you and me. From now on, I will take my Yangguan Road, and you will cross your Naihe Bridge!"
Shang Bingjun fell off the horse, the pain was so great that he wished he could scream, but before he could yell at Du Yueli, when he heard what Du Yueli said, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.
What does this stupid woman mean
However, before Shang Bingjun could react, Du Yueli had already brandished a whip and hit him.
Du Yueli's whip was superb, and the whip hit Shang Bingjun's body like raindrops.
When Shang Bingjun whipped Du Yueli just now, he didn't hold back at all, and now Du Yueli didn't hold back either. After a few whips, Shang Bingjun's clothes were ripped apart, and the exposed white skin was ripped apart. .
Shang Bingjun was beaten until he kept rolling on the ground, screaming like a pig being killed.
And the young masters of the business were already stunned by this scene. They thought their mother was just a little bit hot-tempered, but who would have thought that her hand skills were so good
Seeing her beating posture and Shang Bingjun's miserable appearance, how dare they step forward
After whipping Shang Bingjun more than a dozen times, Du Yueli slammed the whip on Shang Bingjun's body. He was trembling with pain, but he screamed so badly that his throat was broken , At this time, there is no sound at all.
Du Yueli looked at Shang Bingjun who was lying on the ground like a dead dog, and thinking of the relationship between husband and wife for so many years, she only felt as disgusted as eating flies.
"Pooh."
Du Yueli spit at Shang Bingjun, got on her horse, and walked towards Annanhou's mansion gracefully, while the guards and servants of Annanhou's mansion drove the carriage with dozens of carts full of dowry, followed her.
After they left, the onlookers pointed at the merchants, and the young masters of the merchant felt ashamed, so they hurriedly called the servants out and carried Shang Bingjun into the mansion.
It didn't take long for the second lady of the Annan Hou Mansion to reconcile with the Minister of the Ministry of War, take away all the dowry and beat the Minister of the Ministry of War, and the news spread throughout Qinglan City.
Qi Wang in the palace also heard the news, but he was not surprised by this result.
In the original plot, the soldiers of the state of Chu came to the city, and Lord Hou took several sons to the battlefield, but they all died in the battle. Soon after, the Annan Hou Mansion was attacked by bandits, and all the old, weak, women and children in the Hou Mansion were slaughtered.
Du Yueli was in agony, and after she knew Shang Bingjun's true identity, she slaughtered all the merchants by herself, and then set fire to the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of War, and she herself was buried in the flames.
