Fang smiled back angrily: "Okay, I will give you a chance now. Princess Qiongshu's birthday will be next month, and no matter if it is Zhou Shoufu's mansion, Xu Shangshu's mansion or Li Guogong's mansion, the wife in charge will be present. You If you have the ability, you should know to seize this opportunity firmly."
Princess Qiongshu also has another identity, that is, the daughter of Princess Jing and the First Princess, and the younger sister of the British prince Wei Junhang's first mother. Now she is the wife of the Duke of Wei's mansion.
In recent years, although the British government has not had a man who can stand above the court, the Eldest Princess is deeply respected by the emperor, and the eldest son Wei Junhang can be regarded as half of the companion when he was a teenager, and he is also quite a holy family.
According to the regulations of this dynasty, only the daughter of the prince can be named the princess. Even if the daughter of the princess has received grace, she can only be named the princess. And Wei Qiongshu's ability to be crowned princess as the daughter of the princess is enough to show the care she has for her aunt's family today.
This is also the reason why no one dared to underestimate the British government since the British government was seriously injured and retired from the court, and the former son Wei Junting died.
As for those who laughed at the British government of the former great Chu family, but now the whole family can only rely on women for support, they can only say a few sour words in private.
Fang Birong bit her lower lip tightly, staring fixedly at Fang's leaving figure, her body trembling with suppressed resentment.
Someday, someday...
Shen Xinyan didn't take Shen Xinlan seriously, but because of her experience in her previous life, she naturally knew that Fang would never forgive Qi Liuxiu who dared to seduce her only sister.
Although Marquis Pingliang has been away from the capital for many years, he is still the Marquis of the Great Chu Dynasty, and he has more or less power in the capital, and these powers are now in the hands of the Fang family.
Therefore, it was a breeze for Fang, a small editor of the Imperial Academy. If it wasn't for being too scruple to act too much to attract attention, she actually wanted to take Qi Liuxiu's life directly.
When the Fang family in the previous life discovered the affair between his younger sister and Qi Liuxiu, the two had been secretly dating for a long time, and their relationship was much deeper than that of the two who met for the first time in this life.
Therefore, when Fang Birong found out that her eldest sister was planning to attack Qi Liuxiu, she threatened her marriage, forcing Fang to put aside the idea of teaching Qi Liuxiu a lesson.
Shen Xinyan actually admired Fang Birong a little. This woman quickly gained a foothold after marrying into Xu Shangshu's mansion in her previous life. Later, when the third son Xu died of illness, she continued to stay in Xu Shangshu's mansion as a widow. At the same time, Qi Liuxiu even had the ability to take advantage of Xu Shangshu's Dongfeng to advance several levels in a row.
Using the power of her husband's family to pave the way for her lover, I have to say that this woman is also a very "remarkable" character!
It's a pity that they are destined not to be on the same front, otherwise Shen Xinyan really doesn't want to be her enemy.
Although the current Fang Birong is moved by Qi Liuxiu, but they just met each other at first sight, she would not believe how deep the relationship is. But once Fang Birong knew that her own sister was plotting against the person she fell in love with at first sight...
A bit of anticipation suddenly appeared in Shen Xin's eyes.
When she saw the anger on Fang's face coming towards her, and then looked at the direction she came from, the corners of her mouth curved involuntarily when she thought about it.
"Sister-in-law." She took the initiative to greet her.
As soon as Fang saw her, he tried his best to suppress his anger, and forced a smile: "So it's the second younger brother and sister. The second younger brother and sister recited sutras in front of the Buddha all night, and the whole person looks a little more peaceful."
"Thank you sister-in-law for your compliment! I have seen my sister-in-law worrying and worrying a lot these days, and she seems a bit anxious. It's better to calm down and work less. This is the way to live longer." Shen Xinyan persuaded with sincerity.
Fang Shi was choked by her, and said with a fake smile: "Thank you for your concern, but I was born to be a hard worker, not as lucky as my second brother and sister, and I am destined to enjoy a happy life!"
"Sister-in-law's words are indeed somewhat reasonable. Aren't I just a happy life! On the one hand, I have a mother who is generous and caring, on the other hand, I have a son who is smart and sensible, and I have a capable person like my sister-in-law who can take care of the household chores for me. It's really a good fate." !" Shen Xinyan replied with a smile.
Although she was definitely not lucky in her previous life, she probably won't have much to do with "good fate" in this life, but if you lose, you don't lose, so let's ask for some points if you want it!
Who has that heartbreaking thought about what to do next! If this life is destined to be unable to escape the fate of the previous life, why not do whatever you can while you are alive!
The word "replacing" deeply hurt Fang's heart, she should be the head of the family in this mansion, when did she take care of the house in the palm of her hand for someone else
She couldn't keep her calm any longer, and said with a sneer, "Then I wish the second younger siblings such a good life for the rest of their lives!"
After letting go, she no longer wanted to stay and see this face that she hated, so she gave her a sideways look, raised her head and walked away.
It's really heartless! Shen Xinyan shook her head, feeling a little bored suddenly, and when she turned around, she met the sparkling eyes of Chunliu who was always standing quietly behind her.
The light inside was so bright that it made her scalp tingle.
"You, what are you doing looking at me like this?"
"Ma'am, you were smiling and angry just now. The appearance of the eldest lady is so similar to that of the eldest son. Could it be that this is the legendary husband and wife look?" Chunliu held her face in both hands, blinked her bright eyes a few times, with a serious look on her face. Intoxicated.
Shen Xinyan: "..."
"It must be so!" Chunliu didn't care about her answer, and nodded vigorously to strengthen her credibility.
Shen Xinyan gave her a chestnut, and said angrily: "Thinking about some boring things all day long, be careful that Qiutang will spit on you again if she finds out!"
Chunliu clutched her forehead aggrievedly, and retorted in a low voice: "Why is it just a boring thing? It's clearly the most serious thing!"
After a pause, he was a little unwilling: "I see Qiutang scaring people, hmph, one day, I will let Qiutang's hoof call me sister!"
Shen Xinyan pretended not to hear.
There were not many girls around her who were not afraid of Qiutang, so Chunliu could only say a few words behind her back to save face.
***
Princess Qiongshu didn't intend to go on Princess Qiongshu's birthday. Strictly speaking, since the eldest son passed away, except for the occasions in the palace that she had to attend, she had seldom shown up at other times.
But it's always her biological daughter's birthday, although she didn't intend to go, but she still has her heart. So on this day, she was accompanied by Shen Xinyan to Lingyun Temple to ask for a peace talisman for her daughter.
The relationship between Shen Xinyan and sister-in-law Wei Qiongshu can't be said to be good, but it can't be said to be bad either. Wei Qiongshu and Fang Shi have known each other since childhood, so compared to her second sister-in-law, she is naturally closer to her elder sister-in-law Fang Shi.
But Shen Xinyan is quite grateful to this sister-in-law who looks like the eldest princess. At least in her previous life, when she was about to betray her relatives, Wei Qiongshu once spoke for her.
Although those words did not help to change her ending, they did not hinder her gratitude to her.
After all, giving charcoal in the snow is always more rare than icing on the cake!
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law got up early in the morning and simply had some light porridge and side dishes. After learning that they were going to Lingyun Temple the day before, Mrs. Yang, who also expressed her intention to go, also came with her maid.
In the carriage, Yang looked at the Eldest Princess with her eyes closed for a while, and then at Shen Xinyan, who was obviously distracted. She wanted to see something from the two of them, but no matter whether she looked left or right, she didn't feel the slightest difference. There was any conflict between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
At this time, she also had to admit that in the mansion, if the Eldest Princess wanted to hide something, it really wasn't something she, a concubine, could find out.
"What is the second sister-in-law thinking? Why don't you bring the fourth girl too." She didn't dare to disturb the eldest princess, she could only lightly touch the arm of Shen Xinyan who was sitting beside her, and asked in a low voice.
Shen Xinyan rubbed her forehead, and also lowered her voice to answer: "Don't mention her, I didn't go back to sleep until the hour of the day yesterday, how could I get up early this morning. Thinking about it now, I haven't woken up yet!"
"Strange way, if the fourth girl knows that you are going out, she will follow like a little tail. It is said that the daughter is a mother's caring little padded jacket. This is really true. See how the fourth girl clings to you, unlike me. Two little monkeys, they don't stick to their homes." Yang covered her mouth and chuckled.
Shen Xinyan smiled helplessly.
The two whispered for a while, and within a moment, Lingyun Temple had arrived.
Apart from accompanying the eldest princess, Shen Xinyan also had another purpose in this trip, which was also to seek a peace talisman for her daughter. Ever since she found herself alive again, she couldn't remember how many nights she dreamed about her daughter's death in the previous life again and again, which kept her awake at night.
She is not afraid that she will end up like the previous life in this life, but she must not let her daughter follow the old path of the previous life.
The eldest princess did not come here with much fanfare this time, so besides the female family members of the British government, there were many other pilgrims in the temple.
Shen Xinyan asked for a peace talisman, and donated money for sesame oil in the name of her daughter. Because the eldest princess didn't like them accompanying them, Shen Xinyan and Yang's sister-in-law came out of the hall first.
In the early morning, Lingyun Mountain is filled with clouds and mist, lingering on the mountain peak layer by layer, looking from a distance, it looks like a fairy riding the clouds and fog in the myth. Walking on the mountain path, the oncoming is the fresh air with the smell of green grass.
"The scenery of this Lingyun Mountain is really special." Yang looked at a mountain peak surrounded by layers of clouds and mists in the distance, and sighed.
Shen Xinyan took a deep breath of the mountain's fresh breath, nodded and said: "That's true, and it's not inferior to Mingchuan Mountain."
The two walked slowly side by side, chatting occasionally in a low voice, which was rare and peaceful.
Unknowingly, the two walked a long distance, and when they realized it, they found that they had left the gate of the temple at some time, and were in the bamboo forest behind the temple.
"It's such a long way, Second Sister-in-law, let's go back quickly, lest mother will look for you."
Shen Xinyan nodded, and the two decided to go back the same way.
Unexpectedly, after walking for a while, when passing by a chic small tree house, I suddenly heard a strange noise coming from inside, like a woman's suppressed whimper and a man's patient panting.
"...Don't, don't touch there, ah..."
"Hey, my heart is sharp..."
…
After the two listened carefully, they turned their faces away in embarrassment.
"Bah, what a shameless couple!" Yang spat with a blushing face.
Shen Xinyan wished she could leave immediately, took her hand and walked forward quickly, fearing that the pair of wild mandarin ducks would be disturbed and unnecessary trouble would be caused.
When she reached the corner, she looked back inadvertently, and saw a pair of gold-wrapped exquisite embroidered shoes inlaid with oriental beads falling beside the tree house, emitting a lustrous light under the reflection of the morning sun.
She must not be an ordinary woman who can afford such expensive shoes.
