The abandoned concubine can't hide herself

Chapter 92: Suspect

Views:

The second girl was frightened by Su Ningxin's sudden movement for a long time before she came back to her senses and replied in a low voice, "I think the eldest lady thinks that the one who can take the lead and kneel in front of all the brothers and sisters should be the eldest brother. The eldest brother is not at home now and is being taken care of by the second brother. I took advantage, so I feel dissatisfied.”

[It’s really hard to understand that someone could snatch me from someone who suffered so much while kneeling. ] Su Ningxin complained in her heart.

In fact, she understood that the ancients paid special attention to etiquette. Different positions, services, and decorations all represented different statuses, and they could not be overstepped in the slightest. Perhaps in the eyes of the eldest lady, the second brother was overstepping her son's position.

Seeing Su Ning thinking, the second girl kept up her efforts, "You said that everyone is kneeling like this. Even weak women like us only have bruises on our knees and are not really unable to stand up. Why is the second brother so bedridden?" Woolen cloth."

[It’s not because I’m smart and know how to be lazy, otherwise I’d be a cripple on my knees.]

If the second girl's tone hadn't meant anything, Su Ning would have suspected that she was speaking ill of her second brother and that he was pretending to be ill.

Following the second girl's wishes, Su Ningxin looked at the futon in front of her. After careful inspection, it was indeed different from her own. It didn't seem to be as soft as the futon, but she didn't know that it was the eldest lady who had touched it. It's still the concubine and daughter-in-law of the big house who is directing and acting.

Su Ningxin secretly glanced at the three people in Uncle Taiping's house in front of the funeral. They were seriously offering incense and did not look at her anymore. On the other hand, Marquis Xuanning looked at her several times, probably thinking that she was still whispering in front of the funeral. It's really unethical.

So Su Ningxin left the second girl alone again, turned her head and buried her head in her chest, kneeling obediently.

After a while, Su Ningxin heard that Mrs. Taiping said, "Zhao'er, what are you doing? Don't be rude."

Su Ningxin raised her head in confusion, and met Shen Zhao's eyes directly in front of her. Shen Zhao smiled evilly, "Is this girl the evil eldest girl from the Su family? I can tell at a glance why she is If you are possessed by evil spirits, it must be my sister’s spirit that is causing trouble.”

Mrs. Cheng Ping immediately stepped forward to hold Shen Zhao, "Zhao'er, don't talk nonsense," and then quickly looked at Hou Xuanning apologetically, "Please forgive me, Hou Xuanning."

It's a pity that Shen Zhao doesn't intend to cooperate, "Mother, look, she looks so much like Concubine Chen."

Mrs. Cheng Ping glanced at Su Ningxin and felt that these eyes did have some similarities. Although she was not very impressed by Shen Qing, she was very familiar with Aunt Bai's charming eyes, which made her hate her as soon as she saw them. itch.

However, Mrs. Taiping still had the overall situation in mind and could not make a fuss in the mourning hall of Xuanning Hou Mansion. She advised Shen Zhao, "Zhao'er, I know you miss the late Concubine Chen, but there are many similar people in the world. Su Da The girl is not your sister, so you cannot disturb the purity of the ancestors of the Hou Mansion."

"Then let her take off her veil and show me. If she's not her sister, I won't bother her too much." Shen Zhao said with evil eyes.

Uncle Chengping, who had been silent for a long time this time, couldn't help it any longer, "How reckless!"

Just when they were tearing apart, Shen Zhao suddenly stepped in front of Su Ningxin and raised his hand to take off her veil.

Su Ningxin frowned deeply. She didn't know that her brother-in-law had such martial arts, but she was in a dilemma now. It was not difficult to avoid the opponent, but it would reveal that she knew martial arts. If she didn't It would be impossible to hide, as it would expose her identity as Concubine Chen.

Just when Su Ning was struggling, Shen Zhao's hand suddenly stopped two inches in front of her, and he could no longer move forward.

Su Ningxin looked at the hand holding Shen Zhao's wrist. The person helping her was actually Mr. Su, who was supposed to be in bed. However, the serious injury on his leg must be true, because he was holding Shen Zhao in one hand. At the same time, the other hand was supported by the boy to stand firm.

Second Young Master Su said, "Prince Shen, please respect yourself. You are scorning my daughter of the Su family in the mourning hall of the ancestors of the Su family. Does the prince want to make an enemy of the Su family?"

Shen Zhao smiled, but the smile was just on the surface. While smiling, he used his other hand to break open Su Jingmo's hand on his wrist, "I just want to do the Su family a favor. If the short-lived Concubine Chen's sister is haunted by Miss Su, the Su family will not be peaceful either."

[Curse me, you are the one who is short-lived, your whole family is short-lived... No, his whole family includes me, right? Forget it, you should be short-lived yourself.] Su Ning was stunned as if she was frightened, but she was scolding this troublesome Shen Zhao in her heart. What did she say at the beginning that she would definitely encounter trouble when she returned to the capital, and she would encounter trouble even if she didn't leave home.

Marquis Xuanning, who was watching the farce with cold eyes, finally spoke, "Shizi Shen, this is the day when my Su family's souls are suspended. You'd better not make trouble."

Mrs. Chengping hurriedly accompanied her with a smile, "It's our fault that Zhao'er did something so outrageous today for some unknown reason. My master and I will discipline him well when we return home. We will come to apologize after our ancestor's funeral."

Shen Zhao seemed a little unwilling, but after being pulled a few times by Mrs. Taiping, he still left. He probably knew that Marquis Xuanning had spoken and the guards of the Marquis' mansion would never let him cause any trouble, so he was reluctant to do so. He wished to leave, and before leaving, he gave Su Ningxin a meaningful look.

Although Shen Zhao left, Su Ningxin's troubles were far from over. Marquis Xuanning said to the eldest lady beside him, "Madam, have you ever seen Concubine Chen who passed away in the palace before? If so, come and see if the eldest lady is okay." She really looks similar to Concubine Chen."

The eldest lady stepped forward, knowing that she could not hide. Su Ningxin took off her veil obediently and looked at the eldest lady calmly.

The eldest lady frowned and looked at Su Ningxin, and finally she could only say vaguely, "They look somewhat similar."

Mr. Su San and Mrs. Su stood aside with nervous expressions on their faces, especially Mrs. Su. Her tense expression could not be faked, which made the eldest man even more suspicious. "Madam, please watch carefully. Don't let outsiders take the opportunity to enter Su." Family, messed up the blood of my Su family."

Listening to the eldest master's words, the eldest lady looked more carefully, but this was not a trivial matter, and she was really not sure. She had seen Concubine Chen before, but she had seen her from a distance on the road every time when the queen summoned her. Several times, even if they met her, they would not dare to stare at each other.

As for the banquet, she was sitting far away from the main seat. At that time, Concubine Chen was also covered in silk, pearls and emeralds, and her face was also covered with powder, eyebrows and appliqués. Naturally, she was different from Su Ningxin now, but if we say Different but somewhat similar.

The eldest lady watched for a long time. What she was thinking about was not whether this person was Concubine Chen, but calculating her own gains and losses. If Su Ningxin could lose her identity as the eldest daughter of the Hou family, she would not only be able to suppress the third room, but also be able to The father-in-law is left with a dowry for his legitimate daughter, which is not a loss.

"If you take a closer look, the eldest lady does indeed look the same as Concubine Chen."
