Xiangmen black-bellied woman

Chapter 48 Really Feels Pityful!

Because of this incident, Shen Xuanlin and Shen Ninghua got acquainted, and the relationship between the two was obviously much better.When Shen Xuanlin had nothing to do, he would wait at the door of Shen Ninghua's Yingyueju. If Shen Ninghua found out, he would happily run in to play after asking for permission.If Shen Ninghua didn't find out, he wasn't in a hurry and just wandered around the door of Yingyueju.

Early in the morning, Qing Que glanced at the door: "Miss, the young master is here again."

Shen Ninghua smiled helplessly, many days had passed, and she didn't know what happened to Shen Xuanlin, but she seemed to be staring at her, and kept wandering here: "Please come in and talk. "

After receiving the message from Qingque, Shen Xuanlin ran in quickly: "Sister."

"Well, why are you here, but have you had breakfast?"

"Not yet..." Shen Xuanlin bowed his head in embarrassment and shook his head. He heard that the elder sister was going out today, so he was afraid that he would not see anyone, so he got up and ran over just after dawn. The servants who served him were so scared that they knelt down. land.

Shen Ninghua glanced at him disapprovingly: "Bai Po, go and bring some food for Xuan Lin to have breakfast. You can come to my place anytime you want to play, you don't have to rush so early."

After the matter of Ye Cuiju's servants was dealt with openly, the entire Shen family was in turmoil.After seeing Shen Ninghua's methods, no one wanted to keep hitting the gun.

Shen Dong, who was a little unhappy when he heard that Shen Ninghua punished him by kneeling, noticed the behavior of the servants in the mansion, and the discomfort in his heart dissipated.Just a few days ago, the maid in Shen Yulan's yard contradicted her master, after Shen Ninghua obtained Shen Dong's consent, she slapped the board and kicked her out.There have been two times, now that the servants of the Shen family are not slacking off when they are doing things, everyone's eyes are wide open, lest there be any omissions.

Shen Xuanlin ate snacks absent-mindedly, stared at Shen Ninghua getting dressed, and murmured involuntarily: "Sister, you are so pretty."

Shen Ninghua wore a scarlet snow-colored Luo Qun veil today, and a jade-colored veil embroidered with peonies on the outside, which made her outstanding appearance even more refined and stunning.Hearing Shen Xuanlin's words, she paused holding Pearl Jasper Bu Yao's hand, and suddenly smiled: "Are you teasing Elder Sister early in the morning?"

Shen Xuanlin blushed, lowered his head and retorted: "No."

It took Hong Ling a long time to hold back her smile after entering the door: "Miss, the old lady sent someone to pass the word that the carriage is ready."

"Well, I got it." Shen Ninghua nodded, stood up and looked at Shen Xuanlin, "You study hard at the mansion today, I'm going to enter the palace."

Shen Xuanlin immediately got up and ran to Shen Ninghua's side, biting his lip a little shyly: "Eldest sister, mother and second sister are coming out?"

Shen Ninghua's face changed slightly: "Who did you listen to?"

"I...I know everything. The palace held a banquet today, and the Empress personally ordered the mother and second sister to enter the palace."

"Are you afraid?"

Shen Xuanlin shook his head violently: "I'm not afraid of them."

Shen Ninghua asked: "Then what are you worried about?"

"I'm afraid they'll trouble you, eldest sister. Mother and second sister have always disliked you." As if thinking of something, Shen Xuanlin's eyes were full of anger. He had overheard what Zhao and Shen Linghan had said to Shen Ninghua Discussing, and saying that she must be killed, it didn't matter that he didn't approve of Shen Ninghua at that time, but it was different now, he wanted to protect Shen Ninghua.

Unexpectedly, he would be so straightforward, Shen Ninghua paused slightly: "It's not a day or two since they dislike me, if you don't get too close to me, they will definitely not implicate you, you..."

"I'm not afraid of getting involved, big sister, I want to protect you!" Shen Xuanlin was excited.

Shen Ninghua smiled, not paying attention to his words: "You are still young, so you don't need to get involved in these things."

Shen Xuanlin still wanted to argue, but Bai Bo came over to remind her, "Miss, the time has come."

"Well, let's go."

Looking at the back of Shen Ninghua leaving, Shen Xuanlin stomped his feet in resentment, just like what the servants said, the elder sister has no one to rely on in the Shen family, so he must be her reliance!He is almost ten years old, he is no longer a child!
After the second prince returned to the court and rectified the affairs of the army, he directly handed over the military power to the emperor.The emperor was very happy. Not only did he confer the title of Duke of the County, but he also gave him the title of Virtue. This was the first among the princes other than the crown prince to receive the title.The emperor still seemed to feel that it was not enough, so he ordered a grand celebration banquet, and all officials above the fifth rank could bring their families.

Shen Dong would not go with the female relatives, so he led Shen Xuanye, Shen Xuanhua and others into the palace on horseback early.

At this time, in Songtao Garden, the eldest lady and Shen Linghan were standing one behind the other.I don't know if it was because of the long time of introspection in the ancestral hall, but the aura on Da Furen's body became much calmer. Even though she was driven out, there was no trace of anger on her face, only a hint of guilt and sadness.

Mrs. Su and Mrs. Meng helped Mrs. Xiao out, one on the left and the other on the right.Xiao's face was always gloomy and very ugly.Shen Ninghua quietly followed behind her, her expression indifferent as if she was not affected at all.

"I met my mother (grandmother)." Mrs. Zhao and Shen Linghan saluted together.

Xiao looked at the two of them coldly, and said sarcastically, "Get up quickly, my old bones can't stand the visit of two nobles."

"Mother, if you say this, you will hurt your daughter-in-law." Zhao knelt on the ground with a plop, and tears fell instantly.

Shen Linghan also knelt on the ground together, but didn't say a word, just wiped her tears with her handkerchief.Shen Ninghua looked at Shen Linghan, and couldn't help frowning in her heart, she had changed too much.

Shen Linghan's figure was much thinner than before, her sharp chin made her eyes bigger and brighter, and her curved willow-leaf eyebrows frowned slightly, making her look even more weepy, with an indescribably feminine style.At this time, she is like a weak willow in the wind and a delicate flower in the rain, making people want to take care of her all the time.

These two people were personally named by the empress to enter the palace, so naturally Xiao would not be so stupid as to embarrass them now.He could only suppress the anger in his heart, so his face became more and more ugly, and he ignored the two of them, and let Su Shi and Meng Shi help him into the carriage.

With tears in her eyes, the eldest lady turned to look at Shen Ninghua: "Ninghua, it was mother who was sorry for you before, and mother already knew she was wrong."

"What did mother say?" Shen Ninghua's tone was flat.

"I know you have resentment in your heart, and it's understandable that you don't forgive me. It's just that Linghan is your sister, and you are both the master's daughters, and you have to support each other. Mother begs you to take care of your sister."

Shen Ninghua looked at Shen Linghan, and said calmly: "What mother said is that I will definitely take good care of my sister."

Mrs. Zhao immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and pulled Shen Linghan over: "Okay, you and your sister are in a carriage, go quickly, don't keep the old lady waiting." After finishing speaking, he walked directly to the carriage where Mrs. Xiao was. .

Shen Linghan bit her lip, as if she was a little afraid of Shen Ninghua, when she saw her looking over, she quickly smiled and called out timidly: "Eldest sister."

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would have thought that the person who framed him arrogantly before would turn into a white rabbit who is easily frightened?
Shen Ninghua swept her around meaningfully: "Sister, get on the carriage quickly, the palace banquet can't be late."

"Yes, sister."

In the carriage, Shen Linghan huddled in a corner quietly without making any sound.Shen Ninghua couldn't see what was going on with her for the time being, so she simply ignored it and closed her eyes to rest her mind. She had a feeling that this time entering the palace would definitely not be peaceful.

She had expected that Zhao and Shen Linghan would be released, but she never thought it would be so easy.These days, Shen Dong has been negotiating with the Zhao family.The Zhao family was tough at first, but softened when they learned that Zhao Yunxiang had moved the Xia family's dowry.First, he took action to control the rumors, and then sent people to secretly take back all the dowries that had been strayed out. Some of the dowries that could not be found were also found to make up for them.On the tenth day, a whole hundred dowry was neatly delivered to Yingyueju, along with 5000 taels of silver bills under the box.

Shen Ninghua didn't refuse, and accepted everything as ordered.

However, Shen Dong seemed to be annoyed by the Zhao family. Although the Zhao family asked repeatedly, they did not let go of Zhao Yunxiang's release.It wasn't until yesterday that the Empress sent someone to send a verbal order to see Mrs. Zhao and Shen Linghan, and Shen Dong let them out of the ancestral hall.

Stepping into the palace again, Shen Ninghua looked at the familiar scenery around her, with a cool look in her eyes.This gorgeous cage with red walls and green tiles exudes a luxurious atmosphere everywhere, and it is still suffocating as always.

"Linghan, you're here." As soon as she got off the carriage, Zhao Ruyun walked over with her maid.

Shen Linghan called out to her cousin with a smile, and stepped forward to hold Zhao Ruyun's hand affectionately.

"Why are you so thin? It's really distressing to see, but some people do bad things but feel at ease. God has no eyes." Zhao Ruyun glanced at Shen Ninghua, and couldn't help but sarcastically.

Shen Ninghua raised her eyes, and her eyes had already swept across Zhao Ruyun's hands: "Cousin's fingers are all right?"

Zhao Rujun pulled her hand back into her sleeve suddenly, her eyes were full of resentment: "Hmph, are you disappointed to see that I'm fine?" Thinking of the humiliation of kneeling and admitting her mistake back then, she couldn't help trembling with suffocation in her chest.

"Why should I be disappointed? My cousin speaks really strangely."

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, Shen Ninghua, do you think you can replace Linghan after she falls out of favor? Idiots are dreaming!" Zhao Ruyun sneered.

The smile on Shen Ninghua's face faded: "Cousin really protects my second sister, even if I know that my fingers festered because I grabbed a poinsettia in her yard, I don't mind at all."

Shen Linghan's face turned pale, and tears had already rolled down her cheeks.

"You don't need to be hypocritical, I can do whatever I want." Zhao Ruyun pulled Shen Linghan, "Cousin, aunt said she wants to see you, don't cry, let's go."

Shen Ninghua snorted coldly in her heart, and the sarcasm in her eyes became more and more obvious.

Chu Junyi came over shaking his fan, saw Shen Ninghua standing at the gate of the palace, and walked over slowly: "Miss Shen was thrown here?"

Shen Ninghua turned her head: "Yeah, I'm going to trouble you to take me in."

Chu Junyi smiled: "Of course I will die if I can help the eldest lady."

"Then not leading the way?" Shen Ninghua raised her eyebrows.

Chu Junyi smiled and curled his lips, and replied lazily: "Yes."
