After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Chapter 157 Chapter 157
Zhou Shun is a very down-to-earth person.

Since two late-night visits by Shen Qingci, coupled with holding back his affairs during this period of time, he has been sitting in the lobby waiting for Shen Qingci every night.

It's just such a few days.

Finally, Shen Qingci was waited.

"Young master."

After not seeing each other for a few days, Shen Qingci's mood has decreased a lot.

Tonight she was different from before. Although her eyes looked clear, she smelled of alcohol, obviously she had drunk a lot.

Zhou Shun couldn't help worrying: "Nothing happened, right?"

While speaking, he had already raised his hand to pour a cup of hot tea for Shen Qingci.

Taking a sip of hot tea into his lungs, Shen Qingci regained some energy.

"Master Jiang's disappearance... what do you think?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Shun stomped his feet angrily.

"Master's accident happened to the Jiang family's second room's horrible things. They just did these things. They deserve to be struck by lightning and die!"

Because Shen Qingci asked him to keep an eye on the Jiang family before, so of course he knew about the big and small things that happened to the Jiang family.

Thinking of Jiang Zhizhou, Zhou Shun couldn't help but beat his chest: "The master has given me life! It's a pity that I can't do anything..."

Not only can't do anything, but he has to bear the name of having an old grudge with Jiang Zhizhou, and he doesn't even deserve to go to the grave of his clothes.

Zhou Shun, a middle-aged man, couldn't help crying when he talked about this incident.

Shen Qingci has cried enough in the past two days.

She is not a crying person, she shed more tears in the past two days than she put together in her previous life.

She quickly waved her hand and stopped Zhou Shun.

"I think something is wrong. Master Jiang may still be alive."

With that said, Shen Qingci started to analyze for Zhou Shun.

"Have you ever thought about why he drove you out of the Jiang family back then, and asked you to change your face so that you could disassociate yourself from the Jiang family and buy these properties?"

Zhou Shun also thought about it, but Jiang Zhizhou didn't say anything, as a servant, he just obeyed.

Seeing him shaking his head, Shen Qingci continued: "I guess, Mr. Jiang must have noticed something in advance, since he arranged a retreat for you and me in advance, why couldn't it be Jin Chan who escaped his shell and saved a hand for himself? "

The old man in Shen Qingci's impression is not the one who looks weak and can be bullied.

He looks gentle and elegant, but he is unparalleled in intelligence, wisdom and courage.

Although he reprimanded her for being naughty, he also taught her to retaliate with an eye for an eye.

It's not a weak person who was designed to be a beloved daughter on the front foot, and then occupied the family property on the back foot, and even lost his life.

Concerned about him, Shen Qingci panicked in the two days when he first heard the news of his disappearance, and almost did something stupid on impulse.

But for the past two days, she calmed down in bed and recounted all the things she had experienced.

She felt that there was a high possibility that her father was still alive!

It's just that she doesn't know the reason why he did all this for the time being.

However, it doesn't matter, she just followed the clues and looked down.

After saying these words, Shen Qingci looked up at Zhou Shun.

Hearing her analysis, Zhou Shun's eyes lit up.

Shen Qingci changed the topic: "Of course, this is just my guess. Whether it is true or not, we have to wait for us to continue to investigate."

After finishing speaking, she revealed that she was the daughter of the Shen family's concubine, and waited to see Zhou Shun's reaction.

Today, Shen Qingci, the eldest daughter of Shangshu's mansion, and Qin Jiaojiao, the eldest daughter of the General Qin's mansion, are popular people in the streets and alleys.

Compared with the latter's sassy and upright temperament, and the good talk about the general's mansion choosing a son-in-law, the things about Shen Qingci are not so pleasant.

It was said that she was originally an unfavored sick child of the Shen family, but she was chosen by the empress to be the daughter-in-law and became the third concubine.

And the one she was going to marry was caught in an ambush on the way to Jiangbei to investigate the case a few days ago, and was seriously injured.

Compared with Yao Qianli and Qin Jiaojiao, who are talked about by people, and Sheng Tingjing and Jiang Yuzhi, the first lady of the Shen family who was frail and ill since she was a child, and the third prince whose life is hanging by a thread, is doomed. Not favored.

There are even people who place bets.

Everyone seems to think that if these two short-lived ghosts get together, if they can't keep together, whoever will die first!

Zhou Shun never expected that the legendary Miss Shen's concubine was his young boss.

He froze for a moment, but still didn't react.

The girl in front of me is capable of both literature and martial arts, can speak and dance, so why did she have something to do with that unfavored sick child?
Shen Qingci was not in a hurry, she continued to drink tea, and said slowly: "I told you my identity, just to let you make a choice."

"If you want to live a stable life, then just continue as before and help me take care of those properties in private."

"if……"

Before Shen Qingci finished speaking, Zhou Shun knelt down, "Master, there is no need to say anything."

"No matter what your status is, if you ask me to do something, I will die."

"This is also entrusted by the master."

If he dares to have another heart, he will have no face to go underground to meet the master in the future.

But thinking that the master Shen Qingci said before might still be alive, Zhou Shun forcibly put up with the unlucky words.

Shen Qingci nodded: "Okay, I believe you."

She had actually expected Zhou Shun's choice, but she still had to say those words earlier to prepare him mentally.

After all, she became the third concubine and entered the royal family tree, and the things and troubles involved in the future will follow one after another.

Only then did Zhou Shun get up, and seeing that Shen Qingci was almost sober, he said, "Boss, I found the person you asked me to prepare last time, do you want to palm the eye?"

Since the last time when she realized that she was short of manpower and refused Zhou Shi and Zhao Guanshi to put people around her, Shen Qingci privately ordered Zhou Shun to help her find someone.

If you want to look for someone who is clean and innocent, with no entanglement, it is best to know a little bit of kung fu.

Zhou Shun is able to do such a good business, such a big business, of course he has his own ability to read words and deeds, and the people he picks can't be wrong.

Shen Qingci put down the teacup: "You choose, I don't worry."

"It's getting late, so there's no need to bother."

The movement is too loud, but it attracts attention.

"You tell them again what I said tonight. If you are willing, come to Shen's house to find me tomorrow."

As her personal servant girl, she will be married to the Third Prince's Mansion later.

Just having Chunya and Qiuniang by her side is not enough.

Not to mention the appearance, it's better to bring the maid I chose to go there, than the Third Prince's Mansion to put people around her for the sake of regulation.

Zhou Shun memorized everything, and Shen Qingci ordered a few more important things before getting up and leaving the Zhujian Teahouse.

She didn't go back to Shen's house directly.

Instead, he blew a circle of cold wind outside to let himself digest all those negative emotions and hide his grief, and then went back to Shen's house.

Chunya and Qiuniang are worried about her and are still waiting for her.

After adjusting his mentality, Shen Qingci returned to his usual gentle smile: "Go to sleep, I'm fine."

After running around all night, she was really tired.

This time, Shen Qingci fell into an exceptionally deep sleep.

Until he was woken up by the noise outside.

She just opened her eyes when she heard Qin Jiaojiao's crisp tone: "I don't care, this is what our Qin family added to Ah Ci. Since it has been delivered, we will not take any of it back."

"If your Shen family felt that they couldn't afford to lose this person, why did you go?"

Although Qin Jiaojiao has a sassy temper, she is rarely so arrogant.

Those who can be teased by her like this are usually not good people.

Shen Qingci rubbed his blurry eyes, looked at Chun Ya who was looking out of the window: "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Why is Gillian outside?"

She also heard about adding makeup, Shen Qingci's consciousness hadn't fully recovered in the early morning, and his mind was spinning a beat slower than usual.

Compared to the tense situation outside, Chunya turned her head and looked at Shen Qingci with a happy face: "Miss, it's for your dowry."

"Early in the morning, the Qin family brought makeup."

Since Mrs. Qin recognized Shen Qingci as her goddaughter, there was nothing wrong with the Qin family adding makeup to Shen Qingci.

Hearing this, Shen Qingci couldn't help but wondered: "Then the Shen family is not happy to see it succeed? It saves their face and saves things, why are they still arguing?"

Ordinarily, the Shen family was afraid of the power of the General's Mansion, so how dare they tear themselves apart with Qin Jiaojiao.

But hearing the commotion outside, it was obvious that there was a lot of trouble.

Chunya raised her finger and pointed out, lowered her voice and said, "It was a good thing, but the bad thing is that the Qin family gave too much!"

She made a gesture.

For a moment, Shen Qingci thought he was delusional.

Chun Ya excitedly said: "64 lift."

Shen Qingci: "What?!"

She was so startled that she jumped up from the bed at once.

In the next moment, he grimaced in pain because of the injury on his body.

"what did you just say?"

Seeing Shen Qingci's unbelievable expression, Chunya covered her lips with a smile and said, "Look, even the young lady was frightened."

"I thought I heard it wrong just now, so I counted it on purpose, and it is indeed 64, that's right."

Now, Shen Qingci was in a difficult situation.

She also finally knew why the Shen family wanted to make a fuss this time regardless of the power and face of the General's Mansion.

Because in Daqi, there are strict regulations on the dowry of a daughter's family when she gets married.

Ordinary daughter's house, you can carry eight, ten, 24...

But at most, it cannot exceed 32 lifts.

That's something only noble girls with status and status can have.

And she is going to marry the prince, and besides the queen and the princess, the highest regulation is 64.

That is to say, even if the Jiang family is as rich as an enemy, the dowry given to Jiang Yuwan in the end cannot exceed this amount.

Shen Qingci didn't have any hope for the Shen family, everyone in the Shen family tore up their faces with her, and didn't point at her to elevate her mother's family.

The original dowry promised to her was 24 lifts.

It's just for the sake of face, and the things inside... are not so good.

But right now, the Qin family gave 64 a lift just by adding makeup...

The highest regulation has been reached, and there is no need to add anything to the Shen family. Although it saves the Shen family, it also slaps the Shen family in the face.

If it gets out, it will become the laughing stock of the entire capital.

So, how could the Shen family agree.

No wonder there was so much noise here early in the morning.

Chunya moved closer to Shen Qingci, and whispered: "Miss, Miss Gillian, don't worry, she will come forward and solve it."

Shen Qingci knew that if Qin Jiaojiao was aggressive, it wouldn't work, and in the end she could only use her fists.

She smiled helplessly, got up and said, "Come and take a look after I wash up."
