After the fourth prince returned to the palace this time, he changed his habit of living in seclusion and went out frequently. He didn't go to many places, except to drink tea in teahouses like in the past, to go to Guanyi Pavilion to watch chess or play chess with others.
It is true to go to Guanyi Pavilion, but sometimes it is false to go to the teahouse, come out from the secret passage behind, get on the light carriage and go to Su Wanniang's house to wait to see Su Wanniang.
Su Wanniang's mother, Mrs. Pan, is getting worse and worse. Ever since she gave Su Wanniang the brocade handkerchief with the location embroidered, she seemed to have lifted a burden and became weaker and weaker day by day. In June, both Shi Helin and Duan Zeng said that she would not survive this month.
Shen Wen pretends to be a fool at home to "recover from illness", and usually does not leave the house at all. Now that she knew that Su Wanniang's mother was dying, she asked Su Wanniang to go home and watch over her, and let Xia Zi take care of her in the yard.
Knowing that mother's days are short, Su Wanniang and her younger brother Su Chuanya are by her side day and night, how can she have time to come out? So the fourth prince came several times, but returned without success, and waited outside for an hour or two without seeing anyone.
In the end, Attendant Ding really couldn't stand His Highness's weakness, when the fourth prince waited stupidly outside again, he said to the fourth prince: "Your Highness, they have cured you, so they have to say thank you, right? "
The fourth prince's eyes lit up: "Yes, I'm going to say thank you!"
He didn't dare to go in openly, because he was afraid that he would come uninvited and embarrass the master. Now that he decided to take the initiative to see Su Wanniang, he immediately began to straighten his hair and clothes, and then blushed.
Ding Neishi carefully observed the surroundings, and after confirming that there was no suspicious person, he helped the fourth prince get out of the car. The fourth prince limped to the door, raised his hand, took courage for a long time, and knocked lightly, but there was no response from inside, the fourth prince just stood there, afraid of annoying people by knocking too much. After waiting for a long time, Waiter Ding couldn't wait any longer, so he knocked on the door twice.
When the fourth prince glared at Ding Neishi, a little boy opened the door and blinked at them. The Fourth Prince turned his face to look at him, tongue-tied, Ding Neishi saw the situation and said: "We are here to thank Miss Su."
The little boy nodded to let them enter the yard, and went to find Su Wanniang in the back room by himself.
Su Wanniang heard from Su Chuanya that a limping person came to her, so she knew it was the fourth prince. She hurriedly looked at her clothes, asked the hired woman to look at her mother in the room, and went to the door to greet the fourth prince. Welcome into the outhouse.
Seeing that Su Wanniang's eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her eyes were blue, the fourth prince was afraid that he had come at the wrong time, so he hurriedly saluted and said, "I'm here to thank you, if... you have met Shi Langzhong and Duan Langzhong, please also convey my thanks .I couldn’t go to them to thank them.”
Su Wanniang hurriedly returned the gift, nodded and said: "Young Master Jiang, don't worry, they will definitely come today and tomorrow, I will definitely tell them your intentions." She raised her eyes to look at the fourth prince, although the fourth prince has recovered a little this month, he is still better than him. Before, she was much thinner and her face was slightly pale. Su Wanniang thought of the fourth prince's tossing about breaking his leg and pretending to be sick in the past few months, and felt pity in her heart, so she said, "Sir, please sit down." His legs are fine, so it's not good to let him stand like this.
The fourth prince sat down without hesitation, Su Wanniang went to pour some tea and brought it up, put it next to the fourth prince, and asked in a low voice, "How are you feeling now, my lord?"
The fourth prince nodded cautiously: "Very good."
In front of Su Chuanya, Su Wanniang did not dare to let the fourth prince walk normally, so she could only vaguely ask: "Does it still hurt?"
The fourth prince only felt warm in his heart, shook his head, blushed and said in a low voice: "It's much better than before."
Su Wanniang sighed secretly again, recalled some common sense, and said, "I heard that you should drink more bone soup."
The fourth prince has been fed by Qin Quan in the past few months, how many medicines decocted according to Shi Helin's prescription, or the Bone Pill that Duan Zeng stole in the car. He feels that his bones should have enough nutrients, but after listening to Su Wanniang's words, he is still wronged. Said: "No one cooks soup for me, um, I dare not ask someone to do it, so as not to... arouse suspicion."
Waiter Ding was finally relieved: the fourth prince doesn't seem to be stupid!
Su Wanniang immediately became more sympathetic, and said after thinking: "I made soup, but I can't send it to you..."
Only then did the fourth prince say: "You can't trouble the little lady." No matter how polite you have to be!
Su Wanniang obviously sighed this time, poor child, she can't even drink soup in a fair manner.
Seeing Su Wanniang's gentle expression, the fourth prince plucked up his courage and asked: "When... do you usually... go home?" I can also know when to come to block you.
Su Wanniang glanced at the back room, then lowered her voice and said: "My mother..." She shook her head, and then continued: "I've been at home for a while."
The fourth prince was really surprised, what kind of master is this? Usually, when the parents of a maid passed away, it would be considered a grace if she could go home and kowtow, but Su Wanniang was able to accompany her here, which shows that her status is unusual.
The fourth prince asked vaguely: "Who are you in the Hou's mansion..." He was a little embarrassed to say the word maid, he knew that it was the second lady Shen Wen who bought Su Wanniang in the street, but Su Wanniang could help run those few things. Buqi is definitely not the maid of the second lady, there should be a master behind the scenes.
Su Wanniang said generously, "I am Second Miss' maid."
The fourth prince stopped talking, it seems that Su Wanniang still doesn't trust him. The eight or nine-year-old second lady definitely doesn't know how to play chess. The fourth prince stubbornly believes that the person behind the scenes should be someone who can play chess. Otherwise, why would he use "Life and Death Tribulation" to play Ji Wenzhao's game? The chess player in Hou's mansion is Shen Zhuo. But he defeated Zhang Yunming easily, and Shen Zhuo, whose chess skills were comparable to Zhang Yunming, shouldn't be a master. So, who should it be
The fourth prince was a little frustrated, of course he didn't know, based on his current guess, he was already several floors above the prince.
After seeing the fourth prince's question, Su Wanniang looked thoughtful and felt a little nervous. She couldn't let anyone doubt Shen Wen. She recalled her words and deeds, and warned herself to be absolutely careful about Shen Wen.
Both of them were silent, and Ding Nei waiter was anxious! The fourth prince is usually a stuffy person. When Concubine Jiang Shu passed away, the fourth prince could not say a word for a few days. If it is like this now, then he must not try to please Su Wanniang, it would be good not to make Su Wanniang bored.
Ding Neishi is used to the various means used by the women in the palace to compete for the emperor's favor, and now he wants to teach the fourth prince a few tricks to win Su Wanniang's favor—he suddenly felt that his idea was absurd: how could the fourth prince go to court? How about flattering Su Wanniang? Su Wanniang is a maid, shouldn't she come to curry favor with the Fourth Prince
But looking at the appearance of the two of them, Su Wanniang looked calm, while the fourth prince was obviously uneasy. It was clear at a glance who had the upper hand.
In the end, it was the fourth prince who spoke. He glanced at Su Wanniang, lowered his head slightly and said, "When my mother passed away, I was by my side... I understand... it's hard..."
Su Wanniang has been watching day and night for so many days, watching her mother's waking hours are getting less and less, knowing that the last moment is coming, her tense nerves dare not relax, every moment is hard to let go, and it is also suffering.
When the fourth prince said this, Su Wanniang began to cry, as if she had found a confidant. She had cried a lot in front of this person, and it was easy to cry again.
Seeing Su Wanniang crying, Su Chuanya pulled her down and whispered, "Sister, don't cry, you forgot what Miss said? If mother goes there, she will also go to reunite with father..."
Hearing Su Chuanya mentioned Shen Wen, Su Wanniang hurriedly wiped her face with a handkerchief, cheered up and reprimanded Su Chuanya in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense..." How could you just mention Shen Wen casually
The fourth prince was stupefied for a moment, and murmured: "I don't know where my mother went... Who can I reunite with?"
Remembering what the fourth prince had said to the third prince about his mother's "illness", Su Wanniang felt so sad that she couldn't stop crying for a moment, and said to the fourth prince with sobs: "Your mother will definitely come back, this time, find a lover …”
According to Su Wanniang's words, the emperor is not a good man anymore? Waiter Ding was startled, but the fourth prince slowly nodded and said, "I hope so..." He still agreed? ! Ding Neishi's heart beat even faster.
There was a woman's call to Mrs. Pan, and the fourth prince hurriedly supported Ding Neishi's arm to get up, and said, "I'll go back first... I'll come... to see you later." He didn't know if Su Wanniang would agree, so He didn't dare to look down at Su Wanniang.
Su Wanniang wiped her face and said in a low voice: "Thank you very much. In the future, it depends on the chance, don't get yourself into trouble." Su Wanniang is used to telling her younger brother and Shen Wen, and now she talks like a big sister to the fourth prince, although She is two years younger than the fourth prince.
The fourth prince was heartbroken, his face blushed with excitement, and he didn't dare to look directly at Su Wanniang. He bowed and helped Ding's waiter to go out. Su Wanniang motioned for Su Chuanya to see them off.
Su Chuanya sent them to the gate of the courtyard, suddenly looked at the fourth prince and asked, "Do you like my sister?"
The fourth prince turned pale with shock, his face turned from red to white in an instant, he watched Su Chuanya open his mouth a few times, not knowing what to say.
Su Chuanya smiled: "It's nothing, my sister is so beautiful, so naturally someone should like it." He leaned closer to the fourth prince's ear: "I'll tell you a secret..."
The fourth prince looked at Su Chuanya at a loss, Su Chuanya said in a low voice, "I still like Miss!"
The fourth prince showed a shocked expression, Su Chuanya raised his heels and said: "When I grow up and become a civil servant, I will marry her!"
The fourth prince asked suspiciously: "Why do you want to be a civil servant?"
Su Chuanya said seriously: "Because she said she wanted to marry a civil servant!" Shen Wen's words in the martial arts field that day had spread throughout the Hou Mansion.
The fourth prince asked Su Chuanya with a trembling voice: "How old are you?"
Su Chuanya said proudly: "I'm almost seven years old!"
The fourth prince suddenly felt old, and whispered: "I... will not tell others your secret."
Su Chuanya seemed to have been reminded, and hurriedly nodded and said, "Then I won't tell others about you."
The fourth prince stretched out his hand, Su Chuanya gave it a high five, and then said mysteriously to the fourth prince, "Do you know how you can let her know that you are in the same group?"
"One of the gang"? ! The fourth prince felt his heart racing, but slowly shook his head on the surface, Su Chuanya said seriously: "Just share a piece of snack with her!"
The Fourth Prince nodded slowly and said, "It makes sense."
Su Chuanya also nodded proudly and said, "Next time, you can bring some snacks and give a piece to my sister. When she takes a bite and puts it down, you can help her eat the rest."
The fourth prince stared at Su Chuanya. Under his gentle and encouraging eyes, Su Chuanya continued: "Bring more, and I can help you eat the rest. Oh, Miss likes to eat snacks, I can also bring them to her …”
It turned out that I wanted to borrow flowers to offer Buddha! The fourth prince secretly heaved a sigh of relief, nodded heavily, and said in a low voice: "Don't tell your sister these things."
Su Chuanya patted her chest: "Don't worry! I won't tell her, who made her always pull my ears."
Looks like she didn't grab enough! The fourth prince sighed, helped Ding Neishi to leave.
Watching him limping away, Su Chuanya also sighed: You are so pitiful, I have already helped you, don't forget to bring me some snacks.
The fourth prince let out a breath when he arrived in the car. Waiter Ding let the coachman set off, and said to the fourth prince with a smile: "Why is this kid so bold?" Should you learn from it too
The fourth prince said with emotion: "His family must love him very much. He is only a few years old, and he is so energetic."
Ding Nei waiter echoed: "Although Miss Su is a maid, she has a lot of backbone. She speaks neither arrogantly nor humblely. After all, she comes from an official family. His younger brother naturally inherited the family tradition."
The fourth prince was embarrassed and didn't pick up the quarrel, but he agreed in his heart. Su Wanniang's behavior, how can there be any servility? Treat yourself like you treat your loved ones.
How did he know that Su Wanniang was so strong and fiery that she dared to assassinate the prince in her previous life. In this life, ever since she knew that her father was killed by the prince, she had already formed a rope with Shen Wen, thinking about how to pull the prince down. How could she feel that she was inferior to the crown prince who was the crown prince even dared to cooperate with Shen Wen in planning
Two days later, Su Wanniang's mother Pan passed away.
With the help of Shi Helin and Duan Zeng, Su Wanniang organized the funeral and returned to the Hou Mansion after the "first seven days".
During the time when Su Wanniang was away, Shen Wen really couldn't do anything. In the past, when Su Wanniang was around, Shen Wen could still hide in the house during the day and read difficult books, and he could go out at night. But now, during the day, apart from being able to write, Shen Wen didn't even dare to touch books. Xia Zi took every opportunity to break in and see what Shen Wen was doing. At night, when she was meditating, she could hear the sound of Xia Zi sneaking up to the door in the outhouse. The situation was even worse than that of Xia Hong, and Shen Wen couldn't go anywhere.
Shen Wen couldn't clearly reprimand her, so he could only continue to play dumb.
The crown prince got the same news, the eyeliner was with Shen Wen day and night, this lady didn't do anything, she seemed really a bit stupid, she often stayed in the room in a daze.
As soon as Su Wanniang came back, Shen Wen felt relieved. Although she knew that Su Wanniang was in a bad mood, she was still involuntarily happy.
Hearing Shen Wen's complaints, Su Wanniang was in a bad mood, she caught a small mistake, and drove Xia Zi back to the sewing room, and prevented her from approaching Shen Wen's main room, and didn't miss her at all during this time Take care of the young lady's labor. And because Shen Wen was weak, he allowed Su Wanniang to deal with Xia Zi, and only visited her secretly once to express his sympathy.
Su Wanniang's strong method of dominating her position and not allowing others to covet her is well known in the Hou Mansion.
Su Wanniang's mother passed away, and Su Wanniang was going back to the Hou Mansion, so her younger brother Su Chuanya had no place to go. Su Wanniang didn't listen to her mother's words and insisted not to let Su Chuanya enter the house as a servant. She said that she wanted to write a letter to her father's hometown and ask someone to pick up Su Chuanya. When Su Chuanya found out, she cried and rolled all over the floor, saying that she didn't want to leave her sister. Su Wanniang was unmoved, and Su Chuanya begged Shi Helin and Duan Zeng, who came to offer condolences, to take her to see Shen Wen when they went to see the old lady.
Seeing Shen Wen, Su Chuanya cried and told Su Wanniang why she was unreasonable and wanted to send herself away. Ask Shen Wen to help persuade Su Wanniang. Shen Wen taught Su Chuanya a word.
The group of them left the Hou Mansion and went back to Su Wanniang. Su Chuanya impatiently told Su Wanniang what she had learned: "If you send me away, someone will treat me badly, and you won't even know that I died outside." !"
Su Wanniang collapsed when she heard this, she fell down on the chair and cried on the table. Su Chuanya was sorry in her heart, but she didn't dare to tell her that it was what the young lady said. Seeing that things turned around finally, she didn't let go, and just accompanied Su Wanniang to wipe her tears.
Shi Helin's heart softened again, and he sighed, "Come and live with me and Duan Zeng."
Su Chuanya stopped crying immediately, and immediately said: "Okay, I'm going!"
Su Wanniang had no choice but to agree, let Su Chuanya go with Shi Helin and the others, and returned the rented house near Hou's mansion, and gave Shi Helin money every month. Soon, Shi Helin found a family school and sent Su Chuanya to school.
After school, Su Chuanya helped Duan Zeng sort out the medicinal materials. Sometimes Shi Helin was in high spirits and even told him a few paragraphs of medical books. But if Duan Zeng was there, he would come and interject, expressing various disagreements. As a result, the two quarreled and neither would let the other go. Su Chuanya was left alone, looking through medical books in a daze.
Su Chuanya is very obedient in everything, but she is very stubborn. Every four or five days, she would come to see Su Wanniang, and naturally she would also visit Shen Wen. Every time I come, I always take the initiative to report my study progress to Shen Wen, and show Shen Wen all the big characters I wrote, as if I regard Shen Wen as my husband.
Naturally, Shen Wen didn't know Su Chuanya's ambition to become a civil servant and marry him in the future. He felt that Su Chuanya was still a child, and now that he had lost his mother, he was as attached to himself as he was to his sister, so he took extra care of him.
At the end of June, the Yang family gave birth to a son, who was named Shen Qiang according to the name that Lord Hou had left long ago.
Yang's son made her suffer. In the next month, my legs were swollen and I couldn't sleep day and night. When Yang's attack occurred, the old lady hurriedly posted a post to invite Shi Helin and Duan Zeng.
When Shi Helin and Duan Zeng arrived, the old lady invited them to sit in the living room in Yang's courtyard, served tea, prepared food, accompanied her, and listened to the movement in the bedroom on the other side of the courtyard.
Shi Helin was a little restless, and said to the old lady: "Old lady, I'm not good at women's childbirth! Can I ask the old lady to find another doctor?"
Duan Zeng pouted: "You are not good at it? I am good at it!"
Shi Helin glared at him: "You are still a child! Do you know anything about women giving birth?"
Duan Zeng rolled his eyes: "Those books were written for nothing? Don't you know after reading it?!"
Shi Helin thumped his thigh: "Is the thing in the book the same as the real thing? Don't you know that there is such a thing as talking on paper?"
Duan Zeng was dissatisfied: "I don't know! If that's the case, why do you write books? Why do you write those medical records every day? Anyway, people still don't know what to do after reading it!"
Shi Helin was speechless, glanced at the old lady, and said to Duan Zeng in a low voice: "Don't make a big deal! What if something happens? I took the pulse of the lady last time. She was a little weak, and the fetus looked very nervous. Huge…”
The old lady also said worriedly: "That's right, I think her belly is scary! She is so old, don't... uh, there shouldn't be any trouble!"
Duan Zeng said: "No matter what happens, if I can't save it, neither can others!"
Shi Helin was terrified: "How can you say such a big thing! Find someone who has experience and can take on it..."
Duan Zeng said: "I dare to take responsibility!"
While talking, a stable woman came over and said anxiously: "The child has peaked, but it has been stuck for a long time, and he just can't give birth..."
Duan Zeng stood up all of a sudden, Shi Helin hurriedly stopped him and said, "This... wait! Is the maternity covered?"
Wen Po said: "It's covered, and I'm here to ask the doctor to look at it."
Shi Helin was still a little hesitant, Duan Zeng stomped and said, "What are you waiting for?! The child's head is stuck there, mother and child can't last long!"
The old lady also panicked, and said repeatedly: "Go and have a look, go and have a look!"
Shi Helin pulled Duan Zeng's sleeve: "You... can you do it?"
Duan Zeng flicked his sleeves vigorously: "Don't stop me! I have to go and have a look!"
Shi Helin didn't let go, and was almost dragged by Duan Zeng to the door of the delivery room. As soon as he smelled the bloody smell inside, Shi Helin turned pale, opened his mouth wide and began to gasp, saying, "I... I... I'm going to lose my breath ..." I was about to sit on the ground.
Duan Zeng pulled Shi Helin's arm backhand: "Don't try to be lazy! Come with me!" Pulling Shi Helin violently, he entered the delivery room.
Yang has already given birth to five children, so it shouldn't be too hard. But this child has a huge head, and Yang's analgesia came quickly and violently, the pain was half dead, and he obviously went down, but he couldn't get out no matter what.
Mrs. Yang was sweating profusely, covered her body with a sheet, and cried and cried, but seemed a little tired. She saw Duan Zeng, and said with difficulty: "Bao... baby..."
Shi Helin's legs went limp, and he fell down on a chair beside him. The old lady who came in with them also felt bad, her heart was beating wildly, and she sat down with her hands on the table.
Duan Zeng arrived at the bedside in a few steps, grabbed Yang's wrist, closed his eyes and made a call, then without opening his eyes, he pressed and massaged Yang's stomach vigorously.
Yang cried out in pain, and at the most miserable peak, she heard Granny Wen say loudly: "It's done! The head is out!"
Duan Zeng immediately withdrew his hand, turned around and walked out, passing by Shi Helin who was so frightened that his face was sweating, grabbed his arm, and led him out of the delivery room.
When they returned to the living room, they heard the loud cry of a baby coming from the bedroom over there. Shi Helin drank a cup of tea, and the blood slowly recovered on his face. Duan Zeng looked at him contemptuously: "What kind of doctor are you?" , actually dizzy?!"
Shi Helin regrouped: "I don't look at women's illnesses! I don't look at them! I'm losing that... decency!"
Duan Zeng disdained: "What decency? One dead body and two lives! Don't tell me what decency is! Go back and smell the blood! Otherwise, how can I call you master?"
Shi Helin chuckled: "Apprentice, you are really, really amazing."
Duan Zeng snorted: "Of course! I want to become a famous doctor of a generation!" How many people in the world have this talent
Shi Helin coughed: "That's what I taught too! Apprentice, you must not forget your roots! Don't leave the master!"
Duan Zeng looked at Shi Helin angrily, Shi Helin smiled apologetically: "Apprentice, don't you want some tea?"
Duan Zeng sneered: "I don't want the consultation fee! Let's go!"
Shi Helin shouted: "Apprentice, our medical clinic has expenses! You can't be so cruel!"...
But Duan Zeng walked away, Shi Helin followed him complaining loudly, and reluctantly left the Zhenbeihou Mansion.
The old lady was guarding the delivery room, and the lady-in-law washed a fat boy with dark skin and was crying loudly, wrapped it in swaddling clothes, and hugged it to herself.
Holding the heavy baby in her hand, ignoring the dying Yang Shi, she smiled with tears in her eyes, and said, "It's so big, it will definitely be a great general in the future..."
Yang said weakly: "I will never give birth again."
Only then did the old lady close her mouth, and amid the baby's loud cries, she expressed concern to Yang Shi: "Daughter-in-law has worked hard, I will write a letter to Lord Hou to report the good news."
Yang's temper came up, and she turned her face away to ignore the old lady. Mrs. Qian came up with her maids and women, and changed all the quilts produced by Mrs. Yang, and also changed her clothes, tied her head scarf, tied her belly belt, and fed her soup...for a while she was busy.
The old lady didn't care about that, she only looked at the black and fat grandson with good eyes, and smiled to herself: "I'll just say, it will be a son, a little black, probably because your mother drank a lot of medicine when she was pregnant with you..."
Yang was angry: what is this? everything is my fault? I almost died! After she lay back on the clean sheet, she opened her mouth and said, "Put him beside me, I'll coax him, don't let him cry like this." I won't let you hold her anymore!
The old lady kissed the baby's face, and put the baby bag beside Yang with some reluctance. Maybe it smelled the mother's breath, and the baby made two more wows, really stopped crying.
The old lady sighed regretfully, told Mrs. Yang to have a good rest, and went out to the living room to meet the two doctors. It was only when I entered the door that I realized that the two of them had already left. The old lady said that they saved Yang's life, so she couldn't be stingy, and had someone confiscate a hundred taels of silver and send it to Shi Helin's clinic.
That night, all the children in the Hou Mansion went to see the newborn little brother. The old lady kept talking about how the baby was bigger than when they were first born, but Shen Wen looked at it, and the little baby was no different from a black and red fat chicken. Shen Wen touched the baby's chubby hand, thinking that this is a person who never appeared in the previous life, what kind of changes will he bring to this world? She opened the baby's palm, and was surprised to find that it was a severed palm, and then opened the other hand, which was also severed. The lines on the broken palm are wide and deep, and Shen Wen vaguely feels that this indicates something, but there is no picture in his mind.
This is a regrettable place for Shen Wen. Although she has consciousness, she doesn't have the foresight of those psychics or psychics. Shen Wen knew that it was due to the different frequency of a part of the brain, just like Duan Zeng and himself can see through the human body, some people can look down in another dimension and see the future destination of current events.
Just like an ant living in two-dimensional space, if it has a brain, it will be surprised by the stone that was out of sight but now in front of it. Anyone who looked down from above them would have seen that the ant was crawling across the stone.
Shen Wen thought that the Taoist priest who reminded the Zhang family to raise their second son into a daughter was probably such a person. Shen Wen selfishly thinks that person is very dishonest, he clearly sees the future, but doesn't make any changes. Maybe he thought that if he saved one of the sons of the Zhang family, he would be repaying the favor he owed.
If Shen Wen had a psychic sense, she would know that at this moment, the Taoist priest whom she complained about privately was twirling his gray beard hanging down to his chest and worrying under the light of a light, while the child he adopted was sleeping soundly on the bed.
He spent several days looking at the starry sky on the mountain, and made a lot of calculations, and he became more and more puzzled. Compared with his extraordinary and refined past, he looks very restless now!
He asked the sleeping child again with anticipation: "You really don't feel anything? Can't see anything?"
The child seemed to have heard something, turned over in his sleep, kicked suddenly, and threw the thin quilt on the ground.
The old Taoist picked up the quilt, covered the child, and sighed: "The celestial phenomenon is weird! The evil star came to the world, the disaster was bloody, the mother's life was taken first, and then the father's life was taken away, and the six relatives were cut off, lonely. But now, many fortunes have changed inexplicably." , fortune and misfortune are unpredictable! Tell me, is there someone against the sky who messed up the life wheel? Maybe I should go down the mountain to see..." He thought about it again, and said: "I really don't want to go down the mountain, there are people everywhere. It's really tiring to always put on a fairy-tale look, what do you think?"
The child opened his mouth halfway, and a stream of saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth.
The old man calculated again, and said: "You said to wait? No, maybe there is no need to wait? This is really messy, and the way of heaven is hard to understand."...
The Hou Mansion didn't know about the birth of evil stars. The eldest son Shen Yi's newly married wife, Liu Shi, was pregnant before Yang's confinement. Then there was Yang's confinement wine, even though Lord Hou was not here and just invited a few random ones, the old lady still thought it was a happy event, so she happily shared these, feeling ten years younger.
The birthdays of Shen Xiang and Shen Wen passed away amidst the bustle about giving birth, conceiving a child, confinement and so on. Shen Xiang is eleven years old and Shen Wen is nine years old.
Su Wanniang has been frowning ever since her mother passed away.
The Jinpa was embroidered on the outer wall of the yard where she used to live. The stone was facing the street, and things should be buried under it. It can be seen that my father had expected that they might be kicked out of the house, so he chose the street outside the courtyard wall.
She can be considered a person with little power in the Hou Mansion. In August, she found the opportunity to call an unmarked carriage to meet Su Chuanya, and went to that place with the excuse of taking Su Chuanya to buy things. She asked the driver to park the car beside the stone, blocked the sight of pedestrians with the car, lied that Su Chuanya wanted to make things easier, and asked Su Chuanya to get out of the car.
Su Chuanya took the small shovel that Su Wanniang gave him, and followed Su Wanniang's instructions to dig soil under the big rock. Soon, he dug out a small iron box the size of a palm.
After shopping, Su Wanniang sent Su Chuanya back to Shen Wen's yard. She had a particularly bad temper, and she made a mistake and drove everyone away, before she entered the house and gave the small iron box to Shen Wen.
There was a thick layer of wax on the outside of the iron box. After Shen Wen scraped it off, he pried open the iron box with a hairpin, and inside was wrapped in a small piece of silk silk wrapped in oiled paper. Shen Wen unfolded, and Su Wanniang beside her began to cry. Shen Wen knew it was her father's handwriting, so she and Su Wanniang read it carefully.
Su Changting wrote on the silk cloth in tiny script, how several chief executives of the Ministry of Gold made false accounts and embezzled gold and silver. It also wrote that a person named Yu Liangfu threatened him and asked him to work for the eldest prince, but he refused. He reported these things to high-level officials several times, but there was no response, and he was threatened that if he appealed again, his wife would be harmed. Yesterday, Yu Liangfu lobbied him again and told him that this was an ultimatum. He knew that he was not safe, so he wrote down this complaint and left it to Yuyuan... Then he signed his full name and stamped his private and official seals.
Su Wanniang cried after reading it, Shen Wen carefully folded the silk cloth again, put it back into the oiled paper bag, and put it in the iron box. Su Wanniang cried and said, "We... have no way... to sue?"
Shen Wen shook his head: "The prince over there is the prince, do you want to sue him?"
Su Wanniang cried and nodded: "I think so."
Shen Wen fastened the iron box again, and whispered: "You know, it's useless to sue."
Su Wanniang nodded again: "I know... I'm going to kill him!"
Shen Wen also nodded, and said in his heart, I also know you can do it, and comforted him: "Don't worry, let's take our time, he can't escape. This thing will be the evidence for your father in the future, take care of yourself Hide it."
Su Wanniang took it with both hands, looked at Shen Wen with tears in her eyes and said: "This is my father's life, my mother's life! Someday, if you can't do it, you must tell me, and I will do it myself!"
Shen Wen put his hand outside Su Wanniang's and held her hand, and said firmly: "We, not me, we will definitely do it! If there is revenge, we will not let his plot succeed."
Su Wanniang bit her lower lip hard, and said to Shen Wen: "I listen to you." She paused slightly: "Don't mind that I used to... Sometimes I didn't believe you..."
Shen Wen smiled: "Sister Wanniang, you are the most trustworthy person in the world!"
Su Wanniang couldn't help asking, "How do you know?"
Shen Wen looked deeply into Su Wanniang's eyes, do I want to tell you that I am a thousand-year-old ghost? You probably still don't believe it. In the end, he only said, "I saw it in my dream."
Su Wanniang nodded sincerely, and asked in a low voice, "What are we going to do next?"
Shen Wen also whispered: "Brother is going to the border, I have to gain his trust."
Su Wanniang asked, "What are you going to do?"
Shen Wen was also a little worried: "It's best to find an opportunity to talk to him alone."
Su Wanniang began to pay attention to Shen Yi's whereabouts the next day, but for several days, Shen Yi took Shen Jian and Shen Xiang out to ride horses with the third prince.
When Shen Yi came back, every time Su Wanniang approached him, he was always with Shen Jian, and Shen Jian's servant Wang Zhi was always nearby. Before Shen Wen found a chance to be alone with Shen Yi, they went out again.
This time, it was a formal hunt. Shen Yi, Shen Jian, Shen Xiang and the third prince once again quarreled in the mountains for more than a month, and did not return home until it was almost the end of the year.
The old lady also wanted to stop her, but things happened one after another in the mansion, and Shen Yi was married again, in charge of the transfer and management of the guards of the Hou Mansion, and she was free to come and go. She didn't know many things until after they happened.
People have the habit of deceiving their ears and stealing their bells—looking for the best in everything. The old lady knew it was wrong, but she didn't really think that the friendship between Shen Yi and the third prince would destroy the Hou family. The Shen family's army is strong, so as long as Lord Hou behaves properly, nothing will happen, right
As for Yang Shi, she gave birth to a son, and all her energy was taken up by concentrating on taking care of a baby who was waiting to be fed. How could she think about who Shen Yi went hunting with
However, Shen Wen knew that Shen Yi's actions would definitely bring about strong revenge from the prince, but it was only sooner or later.
