Colorful

Chapter 50
Shen Cui whispered in Ji Cheng's ear: "It's a coincidence that Wang Yueniang was also sold into the Tianxiang Pavilion, but she was not as lucky as us, she didn't escape, and was ruined that night. The person finally found her, but it was too late. The Wang family originally wanted to hide this matter, but Qiaoer was there for the youngest son of Prince Ping at that time. He and my second brother have always been close, so my second brother also Got it, I want to see what kind of face Wang Yueniang still has in this world."

Ji Cheng said softly: "Yeah, what a coincidence." It was too coincidental to avoid suspicion.

"Do you know who did it?" Ji Cheng asked again.

Shen Cui shook her head: "I also slept late last night and heard it from my mother."

"Didn't our family make it?" Ji Cheng asked.

Shen Cui shook her head: "I don't know, even my mother doesn't know who did it. If it's from our family, there's no reason to discuss it with my father and mother."

Ji Cheng did not agree with Shen Cui's words, but he did not refute her.Ji Lan doesn't want to tear herself apart with the Wang family, but the Shen family can't suffer such a secret loss. It's obvious that the Shen family did it. They don't even trade the land for you, but still sell it to Tianxiang Pavilion for you. Isn't it just to show your identity?
That's why Shen Cui, who doesn't use his brain, can't be sure who did it.

This is good, the Shen family and the Wang family have to start fighting, and they don't know how to tear each other up, but everyone knows what's going on in private.

Ji Cheng asked Yu Qian'er to go outside to inquire about it. In the evening, the news about Wang Yueniang had not spread in the capital. Presumably those who were present at the time were either silenced by the Wang family or their mouths were silenced.However, the Wang family cannot cover the sky with one hand in the capital, so this matter cannot be hidden.

When Ji Cheng went to Ji Lan's room to eat with Shen Cui, he heard another piece of news that Chen Bin, the son of Uncle Anping's Chen family, was drinking outside the day before and clashed with others, his legs were broken, and he was half dead. , has since become a useless person.

That Chen Bin is Wang Yueniang's cousin, and Ji Cheng heard from Shen Cui that Chen Bin loves to hang around Wang Yueniang the most, so Ji Cheng guessed that Wang Yueniang was entrusted to Chen Bin to harm her and Shen Cui, so Chen Bin did the same. It happened with Wang Yueniang.

In fact, Ji Cheng suspected that Wang Siniang was instigating this matter. Although Wang Yueniang had a bad temper, she put it on the bright side, and such filthy things didn't seem like ideas she could come up with.But this time the reason was that Shen Cui won the qualification to perform in the middle altar after defeating Wang Yueniang, and Chen Bin was a relative of Wang Yueniang's mother's natal family, and all the targets were pointed at Wang Yueniang.Even if Wang Siniang provoked something inside, she just moved her lips.

The people from the Shen family moved Wang Yueniang, and they couldn't move the famous Wang Siniang together. The Wang family really wanted to fight the Shen family desperately.

When Shen Cui heard about Chen Bin's incident, she applauded at that time: "It's really pleasing to the hearts of the people. Evil people will be rewarded with evil."

Ji Lan couldn't help shaking her head looking at Shen Cui who was happy and happy, this child has no heart at all, it really makes people worry about her future.

Recently, there was a vacancy for the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Ji Lan wanted to find ways for Shen Ying to see if she could be promoted to a higher level. If not, how could she tolerate the Wang family like that.It was easy to follow the path of Concubine Wang Shu, and because of Shen Cui's matter, she also felt owed, so she agreed to mention the premise to Emperor Jianping, but the old lady ruined it all.

A resentment arose in Ji Lan's heart, she said that the common people loved Yao'er, but she saw that Mrs. Shen only loved her eldest son and second son, and she completely forgot that there was a younger son.

Ji Lan was really fed up with the first and second families, and Shen Ying sacrificed a lot for them.Over the years, she has also seen clearly that because the second master holds the military power of the Northwest Army, even though Emperor Jianping has a lot of trust in him, he cannot be without scruples, so Shen Ying has been dragged down by her second uncle, no matter how capable she is, No matter how good the examination was, after being promoted to doctor, there would be no progress.

If there were no accidents, Ji Lan felt that her son might only follow in his father's footsteps. As long as the second wife still held the power, the third wife of the Shen family would never be able to succeed.

Because of this matter, Ji Lan couldn't sleep for many nights. It's not that she has no self-esteem, and it's not that she doesn't love her daughter, but for Shen Ying and Shen Jing, she swallowed blood into her stomach, and Wang Shufei finally let go. ...

Ji Lan and Ji Cheng had the same idea about this matter, the Shen family must have done it, and Ji Lan knew that without the approval of the old lady, her uncle and second uncle would never have done anything.

Ji Lan felt depressed, so she asked Shen Cui and the others to rest earlier after dinner, and she went to the old lady's room by herself.Originally, Ji Lan wanted to go to see the old lady during the day, but the old lady said yesterday that she was going to Ji Shi Nunnery to eat fast today, so Ji Lan could only stay up until night.

As soon as she entered Ruiyingtang, Ji Lan knelt down to the old lady with tears in her eyes: "Thank you, mother, for speaking out on behalf of Ah Cui and Ah Cheng. It's just that Wang Yueniang has such a scandal. I don't know if the Wang family will let it go. Uncle and Second Uncle." Ji Lan choked up as she spoke.

The old lady said to Yun Jin who was at the side: "Hurry up and help the third lady up."

After Ji Lan was seated, the old lady said: "It's all a family. No matter who it hurts, it hurts the hearts of our Shen family. You don't have to thank me, and you don't have to thank your uncle and second uncle. They all feel sorry for Ah Cui, my niece. If our girl is trampled on like this but dare not even make a sound, the ancestors would jump out of the grave and scold us unworthy descendants."

Ji Lan's face turned hot when she heard this, knowing that the old lady was scolding herself in disguise.

The old lady was very disappointed with Ji Lan. After all, she was the daughter of a merchant family. She only cared about her own interests and had no character at all. That was the reason why she didn't want Shen Ying to marry Ji Lan.Looking at Ji Lan, the old lady naturally thought of Ji Cheng, an aunt and nephew, Ji Lan was not even a little girl.But the old lady thought Ji Lan was like this, and she didn't dare to have too high expectations for Ji Cheng, so she refused to ask about Ji Cheng's marriage easily.

Disappointment is disappointment, but she is her own daughter-in-law after all, and the old lady can't watch Ji Lan live in such a muddle. She winked at Yunjin and made all the waiters in the room retreat.

Then the old lady said again: "Third daughter-in-law, you have to know that if a person has no strength of character, even if he is powerful, he will be looked down upon from the bottom of his heart. Look at the Yan family and Xu family in the previous dynasty. What's left? If you look at the Lu family and the Xiao family again, although there have been many twists and turns, their roots have always been there, and their descendants are also striving, and they will soon make a comeback. This is the difference between a strong character and a weak character. Today I Let me tell you, people like the Wang family will definitely not last long, so you should have less contact with people from the Wang family in the future, or the third child will be dragged down by you in the future."

As soon as Ji Lan heard this, she stopped crying and looked at the old lady stubbornly. Even if she dragged anyone down, she would not drag Shen Ying down. Who was she all for? "Mother, I did all those things for the master, can I still do it for me?"

"Since it's for the third child, you shouldn't get so close to the members of the Wang family. The third child's ability can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, so why bother to gain fame from your relatives, and let people gossip behind your back instead." The old lady road.

Ji Lan thought to herself that you also said that the third child is capable, but why is this so, don't you, old man, still not understand? "Mother, the master has been depressed all these years. You also said that he is a capable person, but no matter how capable he is, he can't stand the pressure of someone above him. I love him because I feel sorry for him..." Only then did I swallow my breath of.Although at that time Ji Lan prevented Shen Zhuo and the others from looking for the theory of the Wang family, the excuse given was that they were afraid of hurting the eldest and second families, but the truth is, I am afraid that everyone knows it well, and Ji Lan has no need to hide it at this time up.

The old lady frowned, she couldn't see Ji Lan's knot.The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, and the old lady can't help it. The three sons are all excellent, but they are too good, so they are easy to break.The eldest brother, Mingrui, was so fruitful that the emperor asked him to favor the princess, and gave the military power to the second child.The second child is an honest man, who has guarded the northwest all these years, not allowing foreigners to step into the hinterland of the Central Plains.Daqin can't do without the Shen family, Emperor Jianping can see clearly, so the second child can't move.If the third child is allowed to achieve his will, and he will correspond with the second in the court hall, no emperor can rest assured.

Even if the emperor is relieved, the old lady herself is not at ease, she is afraid that the cunning rabbit will die, and the lackey will cook.The old lady was thinking about the overall situation, so she didn't go out for the third child all these years, not only didn't go, but also deliberately asked someone to suppress him.

But Ji Lan can't see the overall situation, only sees her family's self-interest, in order to be proud of her sister-in-law, she doesn't have a big picture, which makes the old lady very disappointed, but disappointment is disappointment, but the words in it can't be expressed clearly , After all, they are all their own sons.

After hearing Ji Lan's words, the old lady could only sigh softly in the end: "This man, you will know when you live to my age. All you want is to be safe, and there is nothing better than the safety of the whole family." gone."

But the old lady also knows that this is an idea that people only have when they are old, and young people want to fight.

Ji Lan followed the old lady's words and said: "Yes, safety is a blessing, but this time something like this happened to the Wang family, they are always domineering, what impact will it have on our family?" Ji Lan was afraid that Shen Ying and Shen Jing would be implicated up.

The old lady looked into Ji Lan's eyes and didn't speak. Ji Lan herself knew that she was guilty, and gradually lowered her head. After all, the old lady was venting her anger for Shen Cui and Ji Cheng, but Ji Lan was afraid of hurting herself.

"Archer will take care of this matter, you don't have to worry." The old lady said lightly, "I'm tired, go out if you have nothing to do."

It was only then that Ji Lan knew that Shen Che was responsible for Wang Yueniang's affairs, and she wanted to see how Shen Che would end up with this matter.She didn't understand why the old lady was so partial to Shen Che, just because he was the eldest son's son, the princess' son?It's just a dandy who only knows how to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, but he was asked to do this, no wonder the method was frighteningly straightforward, for fear that people would not know that it was someone from the Shen family who did it.

From Ji Lan's point of view, once Shen Zhuo and the princess leave, Shen Che will not be able to stand up to the Duke of Qi's mansion, and sooner or later it will decline, so she will naturally have to find another way out.

While Ji Lan was thinking about her own calculations, Ji Cheng was thinking about who arranged for Wang Yueniang's affairs, and the people who did this were none other than Duke Qi Shen Zhuo, Shen Yu and Shen Che.Although he couldn't tell the reason, the first thing Ji Cheng thought of was Shen Che.

And Ji Cheng also remembered that when Shen Che rescued her and Shen Cui, he mentioned Miss Xiang Da in the carriage, so he had already guessed what was going on at that time, this person is probably not simple.

As for the Shen family's treatment of Wang Yueniang this time, it is indeed very satisfying.Otherwise, even if the Shen family came to ask for accountability, Wang Yueniang would at most be sent to the family temple.

Ji Cheng was very happy, she danced sword in the courtyard for a while at night, when it was cold today, she moved from the garden back to Xiaokuayuan, it was much easier to dance sword.The mood is good, the sword dance is smoother and more comfortable, and she dances herself to her heart's content.
