Houmen's runaway wife

Chapter 21
The two came to the main courtyard hand in hand.After exchanging a few words with Mrs. Shen, everyone moved to the east chamber for dinner.

Speaking of which, General Shen can be considered to have a prosperous heir.Shen Biyan was ranked eleventh, but only Shen Biwan, Shen Biyan, and the frail Fourth Master Shen Chenyi were left behind.Madam Shen always has a benevolent face in front of outsiders, but Shen Biyan knows what's going on inside.General Shen was young and romantic, and had seven aunts at most.All the aunts also had children for General Shen, but most of them died young.It can be seen how cruel Mrs. Shen's methods are.

At the dinner table, Shen Chenyi smiled and brought food to Shen Biyan, and Shen Biyan was terrified.Although the Sui Dynasty here did not strictly stipulate the defense of men and women, father and daughter brothers and sisters can eat at the same table.But it's too close for the elder brother to pick up vegetables for the younger sister.What's more, this Shen Chenyi and himself are not siblings.Shen Biyan smiled alienatedly, but still took the chopsticks.

Mrs. Shen saw it and didn't care.This son has been weak and sick since he was a child, and I don't want him to worry too much. Since he likes Shen Biyan as a younger sister, she should follow his wishes.Anyway, there are not many days for Shen Biyan to come back. "Eleventh, why did you come back alone when you returned home today? Why didn't Master Hou come back together? This woman came back alone, and it's not very pleasant to spread the word." Mrs. Shen pretended to be concerned, but in fact she just wanted to see Shen Biyan's jokes .

Shen Biyan sneered in her heart, why didn't she come back?This is up to you.You changed the bride to someone else, would you come back if it was you?What a joke. "Mother, Master Hou has never spent the night in my yard since the wedding night. I have seen Master Hou several times in the past few days since I was married. I... I really don't know where Master Hou has gone..." No, I just want to see Is she joking?Laugh all you want.After laughing, I won't accompany you, leave the mess and you can clean it up slowly.

Mrs. Shen's eyes widened: "How could Master Hou do this~! There is no reason to leave the newlyweds alone! Eleven, don't be too sad~" Shen Biwan also said softly: "Sister, sister's misfortune I also feel the same way when I encounter my sister. It is my sister who is not good, and my sister is sorry for my sister." Shen Biyan rolled her eyes countless times in her heart, and really didn't want to stay there for a moment.

"Mother, sister, Eleven's life is not good." There was a bit of crying in the voice: "Eleven is not feeling well, so I went down to rest first." After saying that, without waiting for everyone's reaction, he quickly left the main courtyard.

As soon as Shen Biyan left, Mrs. Shen also left the East Wing with Shen Biwan.

As soon as she returned to Shen Biwan's courtyard, Shen Biwan politely invited all the nuns from the palace to go back to their rooms to rest.After closing the door, the mother and daughter both took off their disguises.

"Hmph, Shen Biyan deserves to stay alone in the vacant room. I knew Brother Zhen would not accept her so easily." Although Shen Biwan was about to become a royal concubine, she still didn't want Shen Biyan to have an easy time. "At the beginning, I paid a lot of money to buy an assassin to help me act in such a play, otherwise brother Zhen would be so devoted to me." Shen Biwan sat in front of the bronze mirror, looked at her beautiful face in the mirror, and smiled lightly. Voice: "Just because of her status as a concubine, she is not worthy to be compared with me."

Mrs. Shen walked over to support her daughter's shoulders, and said with a smile: "My daughter is naturally unmatched by anyone, not to mention that you are about to become Concubine Wan, who can compare with you? In the past, Aunt Xia couldn't beat me, let alone What's more, it's her daughter who was raised outside, it's really nothing to worry about. Even if she, Shen Biyan, is married into the Hou's mansion, she won't be able to jump very high. You will enter the palace tomorrow, and the most important thing for you now is to hurry up Practice court etiquette."

"Understood, mother." Shen Biwan dragged her mother to talk in the room for a long time, and went to the inner room to rest when she was really sleepy.

Not to mention what Mrs. Shen's mother and daughter said, Shen Biyan had already sneaked to the back door while everyone was taking a lunch break, and the doorkeeper there had already been taken care of by Tao's mother.Shen Biyan walked out of the Shen residence smoothly.Got into an unremarkable ordinary carriage in the back alley.Aunt Xia and Mother Tao were already waiting inside.Aunt Xia was wearing the costume of a servant girl in Shen's residence, combing her hair in a bun, she just looked like Shen Biyan's sister.Shen Biyan looked at such a young Aunt Xia, and then remembered that she is only 16 years old now, and Aunt Xia is only in her thirties, how old can she be?
"Mother, you are so young, you can outshine your daughter!" Shen Biyan laughed.Tao's mother covered her mouth and smiled lightly, "That's right, my wife hasn't changed at all since I was young." "Okay, you two, stop making fun of me, let's go." Aunt Xia's cheeks were hot.

Old Liu Deling, the coachman, drove the carriage out of the city.As soon as they left the city, Shen Biyan asked Lao Liu to speed up. They had to travel overnight to a county town closest to the capital to temporarily settle down.

Seeing the gate of the capital getting farther and farther behind her, Shen Biyan couldn't help sighing: I finally escaped!
