A Poisonous Woman from a Good Story

Chapter 128: The Abacus Failed

Shen Lijun was ridiculed by her mother, her face turned blue and red, and she remained silent for a while.

Mrs. Shen couldn't bear it when she saw her, so she could only sigh, and asked again: "Whose daughter is it, and when are you going to get married?"

Shen Lijun hurriedly replied: "It's the daughter of Wen's family in Hedong. Anyway, she's a concubine, so there's no need to make a fuss. I'll bring her in in a few days."

Mrs. Shen thought for a while when she heard the words, and said: "It's his family?" She sneered for a while and said: "You can't see the daughter of such a family on weekdays, it must be the idea of ​​the virtuous king."

Shen Lijun wanted to defend herself, but Mrs. Shen waved her hand and said, "I don't know what kind of person he is? You don't want to paint him here. Since he has taken a fancy to him, he should think of his own way. As a jewelry to organize, this kind of man is really contemptuous of his work, since he has no money, don't learn to cuddle with the red and the green."

When Shen Lijun heard the words "become jewellery", she was shocked, and subconsciously denied it: "Why did mother say that? How could the Daxian Palace not even have money for concubines?"

"I'm wondering too!" Mrs. Shen sneered, got up and went to the inner room to bring the set of jewelry in front of her daughter, and said, "If it's anything else, I might not be able to see it, but it's your grandmother who put on makeup for you." , can't go wrong."

Shen Lijun reached out to open the box, saw the set of ruby ​​jewellery, and couldn't help buzzing in her mind. Those who used to pawn at that house in the past had a very good reputation, so how could this jewellery be spread out?

Shen Lijun wanted to defend herself, but her mother looked determined, and finally picked up the jewelry with trembling hands.After examining them one by one, his face gradually turned pale.

When Mrs. Shen saw it, she couldn't help but sneered and said, "Don't say that someone stole it and sold it. It was given to you by your grandmother, and it will be put away very well. Besides, I don't believe that even the servants under you I can't subdue them all."

Shen Lijun remained silent.

Mrs. Shen said again: "Is your dowry already spent now? Otherwise, it would not be your turn to be this jewelry. I thought that you and King Xian are not spendthrifts, but you are so poor, it must be for He has a great career. You want a husband to sing and a wife to follow. I will not stop you from going up to the next floor. Naturally, the daughter of the Wen family is not because she is liked by the virtuous king, but because she is greedy for the wealth behind her, so you are also happy to be You have to accept her even if you don’t have jewelry. But she is no longer liked by the virtuous king, and she is also a decent concubine. You can’t treat her as a dispensable housemate in the future. Today is for the money. Tomorrow For the sake of power, you will invite daughters from the Zhang family and the Li family to come in, just for the name of the vain queen, are you really embarrassing yourself and filling the backyard with all kinds of beauties?"

Shen Lijun raised her head at this moment, with tears on her face.Weeping: "Then what should I do? The prince is my husband, my God. He is the father of my child. Apart from following him and helping him, what else can I do?"

When Mrs. Shen saw her daughter crying, she felt a pain in her heart, and when she heard her daughter's words, she couldn't help but sigh, yes.How can the ambitions of men in the world be overshadowed by women in the backyard.

Mrs. Shen stepped forward to help her daughter wipe away her tears.At the same time, he sighed again: "Yes, why did God treat you like this? Why did the virtuous king insist on taking that seat? In order to attract people, for the sake of great fortune and wealth, he will have to recruit people to his family in the future. This is why he came in. Concubines, you will also be wary, you can't do anything to them, the hard days are yet to come."

Shen Lijun quickly took the opportunity to say: "Please mother love me and help my daughter."

"Silly boy, why doesn't your mother love you, but how can you help me with this kind of thing? You don't have the heart to spend all your dowry and help him take a concubine."

Shen Lijun tugged on her mother's sleeve, and said sadly: "Please help me persuade my father to vote for the prince. In this way, the Shen family has all the wealth and power, and the virtuous king will definitely look at him differently, and he will not be there again. Thinking about dragging some useless people outside. After things are done in the future, the Shen family will be both the leader and the head of the country. Have a good time."

Mrs. Shen couldn't help sighing: "Silly boy, do you think that being a queen is the end result? That's the beginning. Don't those who help the virtuous king be rewarded for their merits? Naturally, their daughters will also be concubines." , in the future, it will be time to snatch the position of crown prince like a black eye."

Seeing that her mother's heart was finally loosened, Shen Lijun felt that she had a way out, and hurriedly said: "That won't happen, the prince's affection for me cannot be faked, those people are just used by him for the sake of his position, in the future It must be me as the queen, with Brother Gui as the crown prince."

Mrs. Shen heard the words, looked at the light in her daughter's eyes, and suddenly became vigilant in her heart, and hurriedly said: "Don't think about taking refuge in the virtuous king. The Shen family is already in its heyday, and it really doesn't need the credit of taking the heirloom to add icing on the cake. If it doesn't work, the entire Shen family will be compensated, don't blame your parents for being cruel and not loving you, it goes without saying which is more important between you and the Shen family."

Seeing that she was still rejected by her mother, Shen Lijun couldn't help standing up, and said with a sneer, "Mother really loves me enough, if it's Fuyu, can mother still say that?"

Mrs. Shen was accused by her daughter of being biased, she couldn't help feeling sad, and said: "I love all the children equally, but this matter concerns the entire Shen family. I can't ignore the Shen family for my own selfishness."

Seeing that Shen Lijun was noncommittal, Mrs. Shen laughed and said: "Why don't I persuade your father to find a way to force the King to give up the matter of seizing the throne, and you often persuade him, since he loves you more than you, naturally he will not ignore your words Yes. In fact, for a woman, she has all the glory and wealth, so she restrains her husband and guards her children to live in peace, lest he get too big, and the weight of you and your children in his heart will become smaller and smaller."

When Shen Lijun heard this, her heart turned cold. It seemed that her mother was planning to abandon herself. She was so angry that her mind became hot and she spoke mercilessly. She sneered and said: "The grandmother once said: In order to take over my father's exclusive favor, my mother tried her best to dispel his father's desire to unite various factions through marriage to dominate the world. I still don't believe that anyone would give up the opportunity to look down on the world at their fingertips. Today, it seems true. , but why did you tie up your father for the sake of your little love back then, and ended up being dependent on others today, is this what my mother is after?"

Mrs. Shen didn't expect her daughter to say these words, she couldn't help holding her chest in anger, pointing at her daughter and trembling, "You...you..." After a long time, she didn't say anything.

After Shen Lijun said it, seeing her mother pale with anger, she felt a little guilty, but when she thought that her mother always only saw the backyard, which blocked her father's imperial road back then, and now wanted to curb her husband's ambition, she felt a little guilty. There is not much guilt left.

Unexpectedly, when she turned her eyes, she couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. It turned out that at some time, Father Shen had already walked over, standing in front of the door and looking at her coldly.

Shen Lijun had never seen her father show such an expression to her, and she couldn't help being frightened, and suddenly lost the eloquence of the past.

Mrs. Shen also saw her husband at this time, and couldn't help crying with shame and indignation: her daughter is so disobedient and looks down on her, so who can she say is wrong? The culprit of the husband's hind legs became more and more reasonable and there was nothing to say.

Father Shen looked at his daughter and ordered: "Hurry up and apologize to your mother!"

However, Shen Lijun knelt down in front of her father and begged, "I don't talk about the prosperity of the Shen family, and I don't mention grandma's wish. I just say that the parents keep saying that they love their daughter. Can't they help her? In the past, the mother didn't want to. Sharing favor with others, as long as you help your daughter now, when your daughter becomes a queen, you will definitely bring the Shen family great glory, but you will not be crowned king, and you will definitely not be able to escape the position of duke, so why bother with grievances? In the seat of Lord Marquis."

Father Shen sneered and said: "You don't have to be eloquent here, I have already made it clear to the wise king that I will not help you. Whether the prince is a good thing, I don't like the wise king either. A person who seeks great things, Not to mention working hard outside, relying on a few women all the time, this kind of soft food is really unbelievable. You'd better make up for it with your mother, otherwise it will be difficult for you to enter the Shen family in the future. "

When Shen Lijun saw that things had gotten to this point, it would be pointless to freeze up any longer, and besides, there might be another turning point in the future, so she got up and went to her mother and knelt down to make amends.

Although Mrs. Shen hated her daughter, but in the end it was a piece of flesh that fell from her body. She wiped away her tears and reluctantly said, "You can do it yourself."

The matter of the virtuous king taking concubines was still going on in an orderly manner, and within ten days, the Wen family was picked up and carried into the palace.

Shen Zhaoning went to watch the ceremony on behalf of the Shen family, and came back and said: "The Wen family looks average, only delicate, but there is a lot of dowry, and the silver ticket is a total of 6 to [-] taels."

Although Mrs. Shen said that she forgave her daughter that day, there was always a estrangement in her heart. Hearing this, she sighed: "It doesn't matter to her, she will live her life like this. I just hope she won't regret it in the future."

Shen Lijun felt a little regretful at this moment.

Seeing that the Wen family looks average that day, I also know that the Wen family is quite honest at this time, and it is clear that they are running for the future family rewards, rather than relying on their daughters to compete for favor.

But in the end it was a respectable concubine, King Xian still stayed in her room for three consecutive nights, and even after that, he had to arrange a day for her to sleep in every month.

Thinking of this, Shen Lijun felt jealous, but seeing that King Xian had a normal affection for the Wen family and still favored herself, she felt better, and thought about her future queen and the infinite benefits she would bring to the Shen family. Shang Rongguang, I just think it's all worth it.

On the contrary, the sixth prince laughed in front of Shen Qiujun when he heard about it: "I didn't expect a dignified prince, the virtuous prince of the Great Qi Dynasty, to be bought by a merchant woman for 5 taels of silver. What a hero!" (Unfinished To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
