With such a big incident happening in the Ding capital, the whole city was talking about the massacre of Prince Yu's mansion. The rumors are snowballing, and the rumors are getting more and more outrageous. There are all kinds of conjectures, and some people even suspect that it is the concubine of Prince Yu who has just passed through the palace, who is the concubine of Prince Yu who has just passed the door. Such a rumor seems to be a lot more fragrant, as if there is a hint of charming color in the murderous truth.
Such rumors abound, and I probably have no idea in my ears, but in the high and high river of rumors, there is one that seems extremely shocking.
This rumor means that Prince Yu's mansion was destroyed overnight, which is actually the meaning of the Shen family. As for why the General's Mansion did this, the water was too deep, Rong Kanguan'er wanted to go by himself.
If the previous rumors only brought ridicule and ridicule to Shen Qing and Shen Qing's family, this conspiracy conjecture really pushed the Shen residence to the public.
Prince Yu's mansion was destroyed, and not even a beast was left in the mansion, but a bride who had just passed the door was left. This bride, He Dehe, could let the cruel opponent spare her life, unless it was related to her. If it was the Shen family, all of this would naturally make sense. But why did the Shen family fight against Prince Yu's mansion? On the surface, it may be because of their dissatisfaction with this marriage, but we can look deeper. Now is the time when the court is turbulent, who knows if the Shen family is doing this because of others. Instigation, or is indicating something. The ordinary people can't see these things, and the old oilers in the officialdom will not let them go. For a while, the Shen family was placed on the cusp of the storm.
Early in the morning, Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang came to invite Shen Miao to have some snacks, Shen's residence was totally in no mood to take care of other matters, even the three meals a day in the small kitchen were sloppy. Except for Rong Jingtang, most of them dealt with it by themselves, Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang simply went outside to buy snacks and had some sweet soup for Shen Miao to eat to warm up.
After breakfast, Shen Miao also finished her grooming, looked at the appearance in her glasses, frowned slightly, and immediately said to Gu Yu, "Go and bring the fox fur scarf that big brother sent."
“Hey, the girl remembered to wear that scarf.” Gu Yu took out the scarf from under the box and was about to put it on for Shen Miao, but was stopped by Shen Miao, “I will come by myself.”
The fox skin used for the scarf was completely snow-white and had no stray hairs. It was also hunted by Shen Qiu in the northwest mountain forest. At first, because of the preciousness of the skin, the tailor made a delicate scarf for Shen Miao. It was just that Shen Miao never liked to wear it, so she was pressed under the box. I don't know what happened today, but suddenly I remembered it, which made Gu Yu a little happy. After all, such a beautiful skin, it was a pity that it was placed under the box all day long without seeing the light of day.
Shen Miao wrapped the scarf, Gu Yu saw it and said with admiration, “The girl is so beautiful wearing this scarf, it makes it whiter. It also looks warm and warm, it’s really good.”
Shen Miao lowered her eyes and brushed her fingers lightly over the soft fur, but she thought of the bruise on the neck in the mirror just now, that was the mark left by Xie Jing Xing stuck in her throat yesterday. This person was also relentless at the time. He hadn't noticed it yesterday, but today it is very obvious. Although the clothes they wore in the cold winter had high collars, if someone accidentally saw them, Shen Xin and Luo Xueyan would not give up. It is better to do more than less, and it is better to be tighter.
Putting down the bronze mirror in her hand, Shen Miao opened the door and walked out, just in time to see Shen Qiu standing under the tree in the courtyard and giving instructions to the soldier beside him. Shen Qiu's bodyguards are all people from the army, and unlike ordinary guards, they look like they have a brave and iron-blooded bearing. Seeing Shen Miao, Shen Qiu spoke to the soldier again, then turned around and said with a smile, "Sister."
“What happened?” Shen Miao asked. In the early morning on weekdays, Shen Qiu would always stand in the yard unmoved to practice swordsmanship and spear. The best thing about the West yard was this empty yard. In the past, Shen Qiu and Shen Xin loved making two gestures in this yard. Luo Xueyan would also join if he was interested. Shen Miao these days was used to seeing Shen Qiu practicing martial arts as soon as she opened the door, there was no movement today, so naturally something happened.
Shen Qiu "hehe" laughed twice and said, "It's nothing, why did my sister come out so early and don't sleep more?"
He turned his head away like this lamely, without blinking Shen Miao's eyelids, and said, "It's for the eldest sister and the Shen family."
Shen Qiu coughed quickly, pulled Shen Miao and walked into the room, after entering the room, he drove the servants out, closed the door before looking at Shen Miao and said, "Sister, don't say these words outside."
"What the hell happened?"
Shen Qiu scratched his head: "It's not a big deal, just leave it to my parents and me. You don't go out these days, and don't worry about it."
He was vague, probably trying to confuse Shen Miao. But if even Shen Qiu could confuse Shen Miao, Shen Miao would not be able to live in the Shen family. She stared at Shen Qiu intently: "Okay, eldest brother, you don't have to hide it from me, it's the matter of Prince Yu's mansion destroying the family. Others suspect eldest sister, and now it's the Shen family's head."
Shen Qiu was stunned for a moment, looked at Shen Miao, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. He felt more and more that he could not be a big brother in front of Shen Miao, Shen Miao knew everything. When she was originally stupid, she was afraid that she would be bullied, but now she is smart, but it makes people helpless.
Seeing that Shen Qiu did not speak, Shen Miao continued, "Is Big Brother worried about this matter?"
"Sister." Shen Qiu said sternly: "You are still young and don't understand the affairs of the court. Although this matter seems simple, the people behind the slander are not interested in it. If you are not careful, the Shen family will be implicated." He Looking at Shen Miao, he hesitated for a moment before he asked hesitantly, "Sister, do you know about the Prince Yu's Mansion case?" As soon as the words came out, he immediately answered by himself, "I think you don't know about the younger sister. , My sister is a boudoir girl, how can she have such great ability."
Ever since Shen Miao told Shen Qiu that the second room and Prince Yu had plotted against her together, Shen Qiu had not been able to swallow her breath. If it wasn't for Shen Miao not letting Shen Qiu tell his parents and forcing him not to act rashly, then perhaps Shen Qiu would have already avenged Shen Miao with a bad anger in his heart. From the beginning to the end, Shen Miao explained to Shen Qiu that she had the means to handle everything.
What happened after that, the second room seemed to have blood mold and bad luck. If Shen Qing's pregnancy was found out at the Hui Dynasty banquet, Shen Qiu would have been very surprised that Shen Miao had facilitated Shen Qing's final marriage to Prince Yu's residence. But this time, the whole of Prince Yu’s mansion was destroyed, if Shen Miao was involved in this, Shen Qiu only felt a little chill in his heart, one must know that it would be Shen Xin for a prince’s mansion to disappear into this world silently. Dispatched, I am afraid it will take a lot of trouble. Shen Miao, a delicate little girl, how could it be possible? But the more he thought it was impossible, the more intuition in Shen Qiu's heart, there was an enmity between Prince Yu's Mansion and Shen Miao, and now it has fallen to this point, what if Shen Miao contributed to this
Shen Miao glanced at Shen Qiu, sighed, and said, "Big Brother suspects that I did it?"
“No no no, little sister, how can I doubt you. If you are a little girl, if you really have such ability, you will be laughed at when you say it.” Shen Qiu hurriedly retorted, for fear of annoyed Shen Miao.
His cautious look fell into Shen Miao's eyes, Shen Miao sighed invisibly, she had no way to tell Shen Qiu the truth, the people in the big room of the Shen family were brilliant and kind and loyal. , If she knew that this kind of vicious thing came from her hands, it would definitely be very painful in her heart. She could only lie to Shen Qiu and Shen Miao smiled slightly: "I really do not have such ability, eldest brother does not have to doubt me. It's just that what eldest brother is worried about now, there is no need to worry too much."
Shen Qiu looked at Shen Miao and unknowingly, when he was facing Shen Miao, there was a lot of questioning meaning during the conversation, he asked, "Why does my sister think so?"
"People in the world are not fools. How can you be convicted based on just a few rumors. If you really want to convict, you will naturally produce 120,000 points of evidence. Besides, what is the relationship between the big sister and our big house? Parents are not in the house all the year round, No matter how much this dirty water is splashed, it won't come to us. Even if there is a hundred chaos in the current situation, it will not be our turn to worry about it. Naturally, there are 'smart and capable' people who will solve these problems together."
"A smart and capable person?" Shen Qiu wondered, "Who is that?"
Before he finished speaking, Bai Lu was heard loudly outside: "Second Young Master, why are you here?"
“Look,” Shen Miao turned her head and the smile in her eyes flashed, “A smart and capable person is here.”
Shen Qiu rolled his eyes, walked to the door in three steps and opened it, and he saw Shen Yuan standing at the door. Shen Yuan has always paid attention to appearance, but now he has been busy all night, actually showing a bit of haggard. Compared to the pretentiousness of the previous days, the eyes he looked at the two Shen Miao brothers and sisters were undisguised and gloomy. He said, "fifth sister, I have something to tell you alone."
“My sister has nothing to say to you.” Shen Qiu stood in front of Shen Miao and deliberately bit out the word “my sister”.
“It’s okay, eldest brother,” Shen Miao said, “Just so, I also have a few words to say to second brother.”
"Sister." Shen Qiu said in a hurry, only barely saying "that thing is not a good person". Shen Miao patted Shen Qiu's arm: "Don't worry, if you are not worried, just guard at the door."
"Then I'll be guarding at the door." Shen Qiu said quickly.
The behavior of their brother and sister made Shen Yuan's complexion even bluer. In the past, even if Shen Qiu didn't like seeing him, he always had to be kind on his face. This time when he came back, it was pointed at Mai Mang, Shen Yuan’s eyes fell on Shen Miao, many things just followed the established path in the beginning, deviated from the path and even reached the point where it could not end, it was all because of Shen Miao.
She is the biggest variable in the Shen family.
"Fifth younger sister, come in with me." Shen Yuan gave Shen Qiu a cold look: "Big brother, please also guard at the door." After saying this, he stepped into the door first.
Under the worried eyes of everyone, Shen Miao also walked in.
The door was slowly closed, Shen Miao turned around and met Shen Yuan's gloomy expression, "You did it."
His tone was very certain and he did not even try to test it, Shen Miao smiled slightly, "What is the second brother talking about? The matter of the destruction of the Prince's Mansion is still a matter of rumours."
"Isn't it all your doing?" Shen Yuan sneered: "I finally underestimated you."
“I’m afraid the second brother is looking at me highly,” Shen Miao didn’t care, “I don’t have that great ability yet, even after doing such calamity, I can still get out of my body.”
"Oh?" Shen Yuan looked her up and down before saying, "You're not living a very happy life now."
"I don't care what other people say about my mouth. Since the second brother insists on thinking so, I am too lazy to explain it. After all, you don't believe it. The second brother came here to ask the teacher for guilt?"
Shen Yuan endured and endured, the girl in front of him smiled lightly, the curvature of the corners of his lips curved into a mocking content, and his eyes were as clear as water, reflecting the slightly embarrassed appearance of him. He was arrogant and conceited, but now he was swayed by a girl, and he was naturally extremely unwilling in his heart. However, it was true that he had underestimated the enemy at this point.
"Aren't you afraid of implicated in the Shen family by doing this? In this way, the uncle's family will not be able to please!" Shen Yuan said viciously.
Hearing this, Shen Miao seemed to have heard some funny joke, she smiled and looked at Shen Yuan for a while, until when Shen Yuan's anger could no longer hold, she said lightly, "I didn't do anything. Besides, what the second brother said is really strange, even if this matter is related to the Shen family, what does it have to do with our big house?" She lightly wrote: "My parents and brothers are in the northwest all year round, you can't say, I A little girl can be the owner of the big house. Even if the Shen family is really involved, the second brother, at least the big house, can be picked out cleanly."
Shen Yuan took a deep breath.
It was not that he did not think of this level, but when he came out with these words, he just saw that Shen Miao did not understand the affairs of the court at all. No matter how clever and cunning Shen Miao was, it was all in the back house, but the court was dominated by men, Shen Miao was in the Shen mansion, who would analyze the situation of the court with her, Shen Gui? Shen Wan? Don't laugh off uncle. But at the moment Shen Miao's sarcastic words clearly showed that she saw these situations better than anyone else.
"It turns out that you have already made a move." Shen Yuan's expression changed, and he sneered: "It seems that your big room is not ready to make a move?"
“We have never been so idle to worry about other people’s family’s affairs.” Shen Miao looked at him calmly, “It is the second uncle and the third uncle, we need to explain it well now. But the second brother you are most worried about,” she shook Shaking his head, he said regretfully, "Just when I returned to the Ding capital to take office, I encountered such a thing. This is really blocking my second brother's future."
She deliberately spoke in cadence, probably because she had been with Shen Qiu for a long time these days, and she had learned to be calm and angry. He clenched Shen Yuan's fists even tighter.
Shen Miao suddenly turned her head, touched the soft fur of her Weibo and said with a smile, "But for the sake of everyone's surname, I have an idea that can relieve the urgent need."
"I don't dare to use Fifth Sister's idea." Shen Yuan stared at her: "If you are not careful, you will die without knowing it."
"Second brother is joking, how can I be so scary. This idea came up for you with sincerity. But thinking about the wisdom of the second brother, I am afraid that I have already thought of it. Since the Shen family has been implicated, as long as the Shen family is implicated, as long as the Shen family is implicated. It would be better if the family was separated from it. In fact, the second brother also knows that rumors cannot be true, but they have been passed on for a long time, and it will inevitably make people suspicious. So when the rumors are just starting, they are regarded as 'rumours' That's fine. But how to make it a 'rumor', you have to ask the big sister to clarify."
Shen Miao looked out the window, where Shen Qiu was squatting under the tree nervously holding the carbine, looking into the room from a distance. She smiled lightly: "I think the most powerful clarification in this world is at the cost of life."
“You!” Shen Yuan suddenly stretched out his fist, but stopped his hand on top of Shen Miao’s head, he stared at Shen Miao and said, “At your age, you have such a vicious heart, Fifth Younger Sister, you are the first person I have ever seen in my life. one person."
“Either each other.” There was a flash of pride in Shen Miao’s eyes and she asked, “Do you think the eldest sister would be willing to clarify for the sake of your second brother’s future?” She smiled gently, “I think she is willing to come. Yes, after all you are blood relatives.” After a pause, Shen Miao suddenly shook her head again, “No, even if you want to come to the eldest sister is not willing, the eldest sister is the one who cherishes herself the most, the second brother only needs to pay for the future. , but the big sister has to pay the price with her life."
"Shen Miao, you won't be lucky again and again." Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, his tone seemed to want to swallow Shen Miao alive, he suddenly understood why Ren Wan Yun felt a little mad when she mentioned Shen Miao, because the other party was indeed a genuine one. Yes, people who hate to the core.
“I don’t know if it will be good luck again and again,” Shen Miao looked at him, “But second brother, right now, there is no way out.”
With a sound of "Boom", Shen Yuan kicked the door open and walked away without looking back. His actions frightened Shen Qiu, his heart tightened, he rushed into the room without saying a word, and when he saw Shen Miao was safe and sound, he was relieved. Curious: "What did you say to him? Why are you so angry?"
“Oh, it’s probably because I feel self-blame seeing my sister suffering in prison and unable to do anything.” Shen Miao picked up the cloak from the side without turning her head, seeing this, Shen Qiu asked, “My sister is going out?”
“Eldest elder sister is in prison, as a sister, she has to go and have a look.” Shen Miao smiled slightly, “After all, they are siblings.”
…
It would be surprising if Fengxian Pawnshop didn't know about such a big movement in the Ding capital. I'm afraid that Bai Xiaosheng's grandfather will come out of the coffin to teach people if he knows about it.
In the immortal pavilion in Linjiang, Hongling put the delicate cakes on the table and set up the tea cups, and then quietly retreated. Ji Yushu picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite, spit it out with a "bah bah bah" and said, "This is really unpalatable." After that, he looked at Xie Jing Xing shyly, "Third Brother Xie, you Lend me your cook for a few days."
Xie Jing Xing gave him the word "go away" in a concise manner.
Gao Yang said while drinking tea, "Now that the whole capital is all about the Prince's Mansion, you still have the mind to eat snacks. Ji Yushu, you are really admirable."
"Don't admire me too much." Ji Yushu straightened his collar neatly: "I have always been so outstanding. However, what does the matter of the Prince's Mansion have to do with me, why can't I have snacks?"
"Don't forget, the premise of the Chen brothers' action is the news from your Fengxian pawnshop." Gao Yang reminded: "What assassins are rebelling, and the news you made is not small."
Ji Yushu exploded upon hearing this and said, "The person who made the news is still Shen Miao, and she didn't see her fidgeting without eating snacks? I heard that she got up early this morning and went to see Shen Qing in prison. Look at her. , This is what makes a heart like Liuli face it calmly, if I were Shen Qing, I would be pissed to death."
Xie Jing Xing smiled and ate a snack by himself. Probably the taste was really not to his liking, he frowned slightly, put down the remaining half, and never took another bite.
"How can you compare with her," Gao Yang said coolly, "The fifth young lady of the Shen family has the courage, even if she can pierce the sky, you must know that after stabbing our third brother Xie with a hairpin, he will be able to get out of his body in the end. It's the first one I've ever met."
“What?” Ji Yushu screamed and looked at Xie Jing Xing, “Third brother, you were actually stabbed?”
Xie Jing Xing glanced at Gao Yang: "Do you want to go back?"
Gao Yang immediately sat upright: "I just said nonsense."
However, Ji Yushu obviously discovered something new and kept asking Xie Jing Xing, "How did she stab you? Did she use a sword? If you didn't avoid the third brother, she must have moved very quickly. Retreat, my God, third brother, can't you beat her?"
Xie Jing Xing finally couldn't bear it any longer: "Shut up!"
"She is so good at her skills and looks good. I suddenly feel that Shaoyao girl can't compare to her. Ah, third brother Xie, can you help me think of a way to please her? I think such a girl should It's better to stay at home as soon as possible." Ji Yushu continued to recite.
“One more word, you and Gao Yang go back together.” Xie Jing Xing said with a blank expression.
Ji Yushu finally closed his mouth angrily.
Gao Yang shook the folding fan and turned the conversation away, saying, "But with such a big move by Shen Miao, why do I feel that the matter of the Prince's Mansion is not over yet."
"It's not over yet." Ji Yushu said: "It's not over yet when everyone is dead. But I also feel a little strange, why does Miss Shen want people to spread such rumors, she is not afraid to put the entire Shen family Is it involved? Others are rushing to clear the relationship, why is she still looking for trouble on herself."
“Have you ever seen a fisherman who won’t catch a big fish?” Xie Jing Xing glanced at him with a very interested smile: “It was originally a link, her plan was never in the Prince’s Mansion. Finish."
At the other end of the Shen residence's Caiyun Garden, Shen Yuan dragged some heavy steps back to the house, Ren Wan Yun rushed up to him as soon as she saw him, and asked hopefully, "Yuan'er, how is it?"
Shen Yuan shook his head: "It's a little difficult."
"Yuan'er, you must save Qing'er." Ren Wanyun's tears flowed down suddenly. She washed her face with tears every day these days, and her eyes were terribly swollen. And he didn't take care of himself very well, and there was a peculiar smell on his body. Shen Yuan calmly left for a little while, and Ren Wanyun grabbed his arm again, Ren Wanyun said, "She is your younger sister, you must save her! Qing'er is very pitiful, she is innocent, she was arrested. She must be very scared, we are not by her side, only your brother can save her!"
As she spoke, tears and saliva sprayed onto Shen Yuan's body. Shen Yuan was already depressed in his heart, but seeing Ren Wanyun's behavior like this deepened the depression in his heart. He said, "I see." He turned around and was about to go back to the house.
Ren Wanyun became anxious when she saw it, she grabbed Shen Yuan and said, "Yuan'er, why did you go back to the house? Shouldn't you go to the yamen to take care of things? If you don't have enough money, go to the emperor? You are so smart, don't you know each other in court? Young people, you can definitely help your sister to talk. If you need money, mother will go and get it for you. "
"Mother," Shen Yuan resisted the irritability in his heart and said, "I can't help you at the Yamen right now, so don't mess around."
"Am I messing around?" Ren Wanyun was stunned for a moment, and then screamed loudly, "I'm saving your sister. There isn't a good person in this house! Your father is a conscience, and he only knows how to hang out with that fox all day long. You also care about the lives of our mother and daughter. Now do you have to care about your sister? Do you want to learn from your father? I raised you with hard work, and you repaid me like this! Shen Yuan, your father is a conscience, You are a little conscientious!" Ren Wanyun said more and more loudly, now she is a little crazy and can't stand the stimulation, Shen Yuan's words, I don't know where she touched her, and she made her trouble like a lunatic. stand up.
Not only scolding, Ren Wanyun even pushed Shen Yuan, she scolded, how could she look like a dignified and rich lady in the past, she looked like a crazy woman from a small family. Shen Yuan suddenly felt a little tired. Shen Miao's words echoed in his ears again.
He had a great future, and now returning to Beijing to take office is the beginning of his success. He will choose Mingjun to help him, and eventually he will become a famous figure of a generation. He will step on everyone under his feet, and everyone will look up at him. But now, what is this called, his mother has become a shrew, his father's promise is not useful, and even the little sister who may have been the icing on the cake for his career in the past has become a prisoner. These all became his stumbling blocks.
Bone and blood relatives are important, but why is his bright future not important? He secretly became Fu Xiu Yi's person for many years, and he took office outside, but he was planning to return to Beijing now. Who knew that such a thing happened now, Shen Miao said it well, the rumors were rumors before and should not be taken seriously, but if they were spread too cruelly and the Tian Family listened to them and listened to them in their hearts, no matter how much Fu Xiu Yi valued him, They are also afraid to touch each other out of fear.
Shen Miao laid out two paths in front of him, one is blood relatives and the other is future. However, in a sense, he really has nowhere to go.
Shen Yuan looked at Ren Wanyun and said calmly, "Even if mother doesn't care about me, do you even care about my brother's life?"
