Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 44 Let's see how you defend!

Everyone in the hall felt distressed when they saw Shen Ninghua's performance.Shen Ninghua is still a 14-year-old child, it's pretty good to be able to maintain her sanity after her biological mother's yard was destroyed.

Mrs. Zhao wiped her tears with a handkerchief, her heart was full of resentment, but her face was full of sadness: "Ninghua, calm down, your biological mother's yard was burned, and I am also very heartbroken. It's your mother, and I will definitely love you like a sister, so don't make your father sad by saying something about leaving the Shen family."

Shen Ninghua's eyes were full of tears, but her back was straight: "Mother, do you mean that you will love me as your own child?"

Mrs. Zhao nodded: "Naturally, I used to manage the huge backyard of the Shen family. I neglected you for a while, and my mother was very heartbroken. From now on, I will definitely consider everything for you."

"Then mother, can you tell me that you said before that my biological mother's yard has been tidied up, but is it true?"

Mrs. Zhao felt a little strange, but thinking about the destruction of the yard, it was considered dead without proof: "Of course it is true."

"Then all the things left by my biological mother are complete?"

Zhao frowned, with a heartbroken look: "It's all complete. Ninghua, are you suspecting that your mother touched your biological mother's things?"

Shen Ninghua looked at her coldly, and her voice was condensed: "I'm not doubting now, but affirming! Mother, there's a fire outside, but it's Chunhua Garden!"

"What?" Zhao's body shook violently, Chunhua Garden was her own yard!It's just that she doesn't care about the destruction of the yard, she only worries about whether her reputation will be ruined.

Shen Ninghua wiped away her tears, looked up at Shen Dong: "Father, I have asked Qing Que and others to carry all my mother's dowry to the yard, please go over and have a look."

With a calm face, Shen Dong gritted his teeth, glanced coldly at Mrs. Zhao, and strode towards the door. He wanted to see, what did Mrs. Zhao do?
On the ground outside the main hall, there are a hundred dowry boxes neatly placed. Although they look a little old, the wood is made of high-quality yellow rosewood and red sandalwood, and the style is also extraordinarily delicate. Regulations from the palace.

Shen Ninghua walked into the yard, gently caressed the dusty boxes with her fingers, and couldn't stop crying: "Father, these boxes are covered with dust, and many of them are covered with cobwebs. It seems that they have been at least three months old. It hasn't been cleaned."

Shen Dong's eyelids twitched, he wished he could slap Zhao Shi on the spot, it was so obscene!
Shen Linghan supported Zhao Shi, bit her lip and trembled: "Mother, this matter..."

Mrs. Zhao clenched her fists and broke her roots directly, but she couldn't find a reason to refute. Everything she said before hit her in the face now.

Shen Ninghua suddenly opened a box, looked up at Shen Dong, and said in a sad and indignant tone, "It's fine if you don't clean it... But why are most of these boxes empty?"

Qing Que and Hong Ling stepped forward to open the box with a bang, and pushed it to the ground for everyone to see clearly.The two kept opening the lid of the box, and the sound of bang and bang kept ringing.There are 56 dowry boxes, [-] empty boxes, and there are more or less things in the remaining boxes, but there are less than [-] boxes in total.

"Father, my biological mother passed away early, even if she didn't stay with you for as long as my mother, she still has some feelings. How can I spread out her dowry!"

"Miss." Bai Ping stepped forward to support Shen Ninghua, and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.

Shen Ninghua cried like weeping, and many sentimental wives watched with red eyes.

"It's too outrageous to use the dowry of the late mistress."

"Yeah, no wonder Ninghua keeps saying that she wants to go to Biezhuang, and see, what kind of child is being forced into?"

"That's right, the dignified Xiangfu, it's really puzzling to act like this."

"Didn't Mrs. Zhao just say that Mrs. Xia's dowry is complete? She asked Miss Shen to see it. I believed it was true. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, it would be hard to believe the truth."

All kinds of comments came to Shen Dong's ears intermittently, Shen Dong's eyes were blackened with anger, he wished to slap Mrs. Zhao on the ground, the ignorant woman really hurt him!He could even imagine how contemptuous and disdainful the civil and military officials would look at him tomorrow.

The Shen family was short of the dowry, and the Zhao family kept showing respect to the Xia family, and they coveted her dowry in private. It really is a Buddha's mouth and a snake heart. Could it be that her previous gentleness and kindness were just acting in front of her?
Thinking of this, Shen Dong became more and more uncomfortable, and forced himself to salute Baili Jinchuan and Baili Jinze: "Your Highness, the Second Prince, all the yards of the Shen family have been checked, and no one has been found moving in the Ye Mingzhu." Hands and feet, this matter still needs to be discussed in the long run, the next official wants to deal with housework first..."

Before Shen Dong could finish speaking, Baili Jinchuan said, "What Mr. Shen said is that things really need to be discussed in the long term. Naturally, we can't participate in the Shen family's housework. The banquet is almost over, so we will leave first."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding, and send you off to Your Highness."

Baili Jinchuan nodded and looked at Shen Ninghua: "Miss Shen, father of the book of war likes it very much, and said that he would meet you someday, so you can prepare and prepare in advance."

Shen Ninghua was surprised, the emperor wanted to see her?
"Yes, thank you, Second Prince, for letting me know."

"Well, Ms. Shen, take care of your health. I will visit you another day. Let me leave."

Seeing Baili Jinchuan's attitude, everyone lamented Shen Ninghua's blessing in their hearts, and became more cautious with her words, almost all of which were mainly comforting.

What happened to the Shen family today, the reputation of the Zhao family is over, and it is not certain who the Shen family will rule in the future, they just need to wait and see what happens.

When everyone left, Zhao's body shook suddenly, and he fell to the ground.Shen Linghan screamed: "Mother!"

Nanny Qin quickly helped her up and sat on the chair: "Master, please ask a doctor for Madam first, Madam looks very bad."

Shen Dong turned his head abruptly, his eyes were cold and piercing: "Please doctor? Don't you feel ashamed enough? The majestic wife of the prime minister actually went to touch the dowry of his deceased wife. I really don't know what shame it is!"

Shen Dong's words made Shen Linghan's face turn pale: "Father, the matter has not been investigated clearly. Maybe my mother didn't know about the loss of the dowry. My mother has been with you for so many years, and she has devoted herself to taking care of the Shen family. Please father take pity on mother and ask the imperial physician for her."

The corners of Shen Dong's eyes kept twitching, Zhao shi made him lose face, he wished he could strangle her to death with his own hands.

Shen Xuanye came out, lifted his clothes and knelt in front of Shen Dong: "Children bear the kindness of their parents, and ten thousand deaths are hard to repay. Now that the mother has made a mistake, the child will replace it with her own body. Please father punish me."

Shen Ninghua stood in the same place, couldn't stop sneering in her heart, she didn't believe that Shen Xuanye really cared about the Zhao family, but now the situation forced him to do it, after all, he hasn't controlled the Shen family yet, so he won't give up on Mrs. Not to mention the Zhao family behind the eldest lady.

Shen Dong sighed silently, glanced at Shen Ninghua a little apologetically, and ordered: "Go and invite the doctor over, don't bother Doctor Zhang."

Zhang Nian was recommended by Chen Yuanzheng. It is better not to expose the family ugliness.

Shen Ninghua looked at Zhao shi lightly, she really fainted just now, but she woke up when Shen Xuanye pleaded for mercy.

"Master." Zhao opened his eyes, and a weak voice came over, "It's all my fault, I didn't check clearly, and I made such a big mistake in my sister's dowry, I have nothing to say, please The master will punish you." Mrs. Zhao's chest hurts, but she can't take much care of it. She was too scared before, and even forgot about the Zhao family behind her. As long as the empress is there, as long as the Zhao family does not fall, Shen Dong will not dare to take the initiative give up on her.And now, even if everyone knows that she has touched Xia's things, she will never admit it.

"Do you still know that you are wrong? Mrs. Zhao, the Shen family can no longer support you, and let you touch dead things?" The old lady, Mrs. Xiao, walked out with the help of Xue Zhu and others, leaning on a cane.

Shen Dong quickly went up to meet him: "Mother, why did you come out?"

Xiao sneered: "If I don't come out again, the sky of the Shen family will collapse. As the daughter-in-law of the Shen family, how can I have the face to face the underground old man after a hundred years of ruining the lintel of the Shen family?"

Shen Dong was ashamed in his heart, and his face turned black.

Xiao Shi looked at Zhao Shi and Shen Linghan in disgust, with strong hatred in his eyes, and he already wanted to tear them to pieces.This unscrupulous mother and daughter actually set their minds on her.Her fingers are gone!
"Mother, calm down." Mrs. Zhao knelt on the ground, crying so hard that she couldn't straighten up.

Shen Linghan and Shen Xuanye knelt beside Zhao Shi on one left and one on the right, helping Zhao Shi to intercede together.

"Grandma, I didn't know there was something wrong with that bead, otherwise I wouldn't dare to present it to you as a birthday present."

"Don't dare, why don't you dare, Ninghua is not your own sister, can't you still frame her? If you dare to frame my grandmother today, maybe you will not let your father off tomorrow. .” Xiao sneered.

"Grandmother, Linghan dare not do this even if he is dead." Shen Linghan yanked off the hairpin on her head, and pressed the sharp handle against her throat, "If grandma doesn't believe me, I will prove my innocence by dying today."

Xiao looked at her with mocking eyes, wishing that she would stab her down the throat, so as not to be an eyesore in the future: "Are you threatening me and your father?"

Shen Linghan kowtowed heavily, her forehead turned red: "Grandmother, father, Linghan is not threatening you, but I don't know how to prove my innocence. I don't know why there is poison hidden in the beads I bought, and then implicated As for the passive mother’s dowry, since I can’t find evidence to prove my innocence, I can only prove my innocence.” As he spoke, he exerted some strength in his hand, and the hairpin handle left a wound on his tender neck, Blood flowed out instantly.

Shen Ninghua walked up to her, looked down at her, and took out something wrapped in oil paper from her sleeve: "Sister, you should know this."

Shen Linghan froze suddenly, the oiled paper wrapped the corner of the handkerchief.The handkerchief must have been corroded by something, leaving only the corner embroidered with flowers, and beside the orchid, there was a word——Han.This handkerchief is hers!
Shen Ninghua looked at Shen Dong: "Father, there were so many people just now, I didn't say that I found the corner of this handkerchief in my biological mother's yard."

"Master Zhao! Shen Linghan!"
