The sad and angry complaints of the father before his death were still in his ears, the death of the mother was hanging, and the sister-in-law and nephew died "accidentally".
But she can't die, as the daughter of the Zhao family, she can't let her elder brother bear that kind of stigma for nothing, and she can't let her parents die with regret. She wants to live, even if she can only live in darkness, as long as she has one breath, she wants to live, to see what happens to that old man!
Renzong, Ren, is so ironic!
How can it be unkind? In order to protect his own son and the face of the royal family, he did not hesitate to push that heinous crime on the loyal courtiers. King Cheng, Zhenzhen is enough "sincerity". In order to cover up the crime, even the orphans and widows refused to let go. Poor her nephew, she hasn't even been able to see him...
"Ma'am, Your Majesty is here." A maid came in and said softly.
Mrs. Zhao took a few deep breaths to hide her grief and indignation. After a while, she got up and went out.
***
Wei Junhang didn't expect that the person Shen Xinyan was going to meet was Xu Sumin. He heard that the charming woman in front of him was the one in Qiao Liu's mouth who cut off the lifeblood of the white-eyed wolf husband without hesitation and sent it to a certain place. Mrs. Xu in the cellar, he couldn't believe his eyes.
"Ms. Xu has met Wei Shizi." Xu Sumin did not expect Wei Junhang to send his wife over in person. When she came up to meet him, she saw a man getting off the carriage. She was startled at first, and then saw the man again. Turning around and helping Shen Xinyan down, she was able to confirm the other party's identity.
It turned out that this was the well-known playboy in the capital.
Seeing how talented the other party is, the gesture of helping his wife get out of the car is also quite considerate, just from the surface, it really doesn't look like a dandy.
"Madam Xu, you don't need to be too polite!" Wei Junhang pursed his mouth and let out a cough, then said to Shen Xinyan, "Madam and Madam Xu have something to do and go on your own. I'll sit in the long pavilion ahead and enjoy the scenery."
"If you enjoy the scenery, you are not afraid of my son's jokes. The scenery in the little lady's village is not inferior to that outside. If you don't mind it, please go inside and enjoy it?" How could Xu Sumin let him go outside to blow the wind, and hurriedly invited road.
"Then it's better to be respectful than obey!" Wei Junhang laughed and replied flatly.
Shen Xinyan naturally didn't want him to wait outside alone, and was very satisfied with Xu Sumin's arrangement.
The husband and wife followed Xu Sumin into the mansion, Xu Sumin first ordered the disgraced butler beside him to greet Wei Junhang, and then said a few words of courtesy, and then brought Shen Xinyan into the east wing.
"If I had known that Shi Ziye would escort you here, I would have invited Mr. Qiao Liu." After taking his seat, Xu Sumin said with a smile.
Shen Xinyan smiled: "It's okay, there will always be a chance to see each other."
The two chatted and laughed for a while, Xu Suminfang took out the deed paper that had been prepared long ago, the design drawings and construction plans of Hot Spring Zhuangzi, etc., and explained them to her in detail.
This is the first time in my two lifetimes that I have taken the initiative to make an investment. Naturally, Shen Xinyan attaches great importance to it, and she also volunteered to bring up any questions that she did not understand, and Xu Sumin also answered her patiently.
The two asked and answered, both of them were quite devoted.
The more Shen Xinyan listened, the more excited she became, and the more she listened, the more she admired the woman in front of her, especially when she looked at her twinkling eyes when she described the blueprint for her future, a feeling of admiration spontaneously emerged.
This woman is different, she doesn't need to cling to anyone at all, her independence, her self-confidence, even in the face of adversity, her brilliance will not be damaged, and she can still live a good life.
She thought, if she could have half of her ability and courage, she would never end up like that in her previous life.
"... I've thought about it. In the first phase, we will build this hot spring village first. Let's see the results first. If our goal is achieved, then we will make a plan for the next second phase, but we can't invest all of it. In this hot spring, after all, it can't make money all year round." Xu Sumin talked about her plan incessantly, until she felt that the woman beside her hadn't spoken for a long time, then she stopped talking and looked up.
With this look, he met a face that made no secret of his admiration for him.
She has always been thick-skinned, but being looked at by such a beautiful, gentle and dignified noble woman, she actually felt a little uncomfortable.
She cleared her throat to hide the weird discomfort: "Madam Shizi, do you have any other suggestions or opinions? You may as well say it, and we can think it over. If we can't discuss it for a while, I will discuss it with Qiao Liu some other day." Young master, study it carefully, and listen to his high opinion by the way."
"No need, I can trust Madam, and I am quite satisfied with Madam's plan." Shen Xinyan shook her head, took a few sips of the slightly cold tea on the table, then picked up the brush on the side, dipped it in Good Mo, signed his name on the contract that had already left the names and fingerprints of Qiao Liu and Xu Sumin, and put his fingerprints on it, and took the wet handkerchief Qiutang handed over to wipe off the cinnabar on his fingers.
"Madam is really a straightforward person!" Xu Sumin was surprised by her straightforwardness, but was even more grateful for her almost unreserved trust. I just feel that, just to repay the other party's trust, she must make this Zhuangzi famous.
A maid came to tidy up the things on the table, and then served fragrant tea and cakes.
"Try this tea, ma'am, how does it taste?" Xu Sumin poured tea for her and asked with a smile.
Shen Xinyan took a sip, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and was about to say a few words of praise for the omnipotent scene, but for some reason, when she saw the smiling eyes of the other party, she swallowed those words again, quite frankly : "I don't have any research on tea, but I can clearly distinguish between high-quality tea and low-quality tea, and I can also distinguish high-quality tea from medium-grade tea. Mao Lai."
Xu Sumin was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect her to say such a thing, and after a moment, she clapped her hands and laughed loudly: "Today, I finally met someone of the same kind!"
Shen Xinyan was also taken aback, and for a moment, couldn't help laughing.
The two looked at each other and smiled, and before they knew it, they felt that the distance between them was much closer.
"Ma'am..."
"Ma'am..."
With the same voice, both of them were stunned at the same time, and then they both burst out laughing with a 'puchi'.
After a while, Xu Sumin said: "It's really awkward for this lady to come and go. If Mrs. Shizi doesn't dislike it, how about we become sisters?"
"Of course it's good. I'm sixty-six in my twenties. I don't know Madam?"
"I pretended to be older than you, so I had the audacity to call myself sister!" Xu Sumin laughed.
"Sister Xu." Shen Xinyan called out immediately.
"Sister Shen!"
The two looked at each other and smiled again.
"Xu Sumin, you poisonous woman, you will die badly! Poisonous woman, give me back my husband! Give me back my son! Xu Sumin... you will die badly... let me go, Xu, uhhhh..."
Suddenly, a woman's stern curses came faintly from a distance, and after a while, it seemed that someone had covered her mouth again, and covered those cursing words back.
Xu Sumin's complexion suddenly darkened, and the maid behind her was so annoyed that she leaned down and whispered in her ear, "I'll deal with it" before retreating.
Shen Xinyan and Qiutang felt a little uncomfortable when they overheard something dark, just now they were laughing at Yanyan's room, but now it is full of embarrassment.
After a while, Xu Sumin said calmly: "Since you call me sister, there are some things I don't want to hide from you, just take a look..."
While speaking, she stood up and pointed to a figure looming behind the flowers and trees in the distance.
Shen Xinyan looked over following her guidance, and could faintly see a woman dressed in blue as a woman being dragged away by two maids covering her mouth tightly. In a short time, the figure completely disappeared.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. The husband mentioned in that population is the man who has worshiped heaven and earth with me, Xu Sumin, and signed a marriage contract. Isn't it ridiculous? My husband actually has a 'wife' outside, and he is still alive. I gave birth to two sons!" Xu Sumin sneered.
Shen Xinyan was completely stunned.
Xu Sumin flicked her nails lightly, and continued unhurriedly: "It's just that I, Xu Sumin, have never been someone who can suffer. He was the one who begged to marry me back then, and he didn't care even if he married me. I just don't know what happened later. How did it become that I beat the mandarin ducks with a stick and broke up their lovers."
"A lover? Chih, there is no one in this world who can make me suffer, Xu Sumin, yet! Eat mine, live in mine, use mine, and end up trying to kill me and take away my family's wealth, so that I can reunite with his lover's family? Do you really think I am a vegetarian?"
Shen Xinyan was terrified when she heard it, and from the meaning revealed in her words, she had already guessed the reason why she lost her legs in her previous life.
It turned out that she was betrayed by the person closest to her pillow!
"Isn't he happy with his lover day and night? I will let him be the bridegroom every night from now on, oh, no, maybe he will be the bride every night... who knows!" Xu Sumin said A look of indifference.
Shen Xinyan's heart ached when she heard it.
What is 'every night as a groom', what is 'perhaps every night as a bride', what does this mean
"As for the two little bastards, it's quite interesting. It really is a pair of little white-eyed wolves raised by the white-eyed wolf. In order to save their lives, they even gave up their parents and knelt down in front of their enemies and begged for mercy."
Speaking of this, Xu Sumin smiled softly, with a joyful expression, as if hearing something funny.
Shen Xinyan's eyes widened, and she said in disbelief: "Could it be, could it be that you still keep those two children by your side?"
Xu Sumin's expression froze obviously, and she looked at her in astonishment.
Is this person's focus wrong? Shouldn't she accuse herself loudly of being cruel? No matter how bad it is, he will change his face and walk away, and draw a clear line with himself from now on, it is best not to have any contact with each other forever.
Seeing that she just stared at herself and didn't speak, Shen Xinyan got anxious, pulled her sleeve and said: "You are really crazy, rabbits will bite when they are anxious, you keep these two children by your side, not for yourself Planting the root of disaster?!"
