Chapter 1
"I don't care!"

In the hall of the Shen family's house, Shen Guiya stomped her foot and pointed at a woman next to her and shouted: "She is just a concubine, why is she married better than Sister Gui Rong? As for concubines, I am the man in this house." The most honorable lady, why should you give her such a good marriage in the prime minister's mansion? I don't agree!"

In the living room sat the old lady of Shen's family, with a few aunts standing beside her, and a few sisters who had not left the cabinet, and a young master.The person pointed at by Shen Guiya remained silent and lowered his head.

Today is the day when the prime minister's mansion came to ask Najib, and the one who was going to marry was the third lady of the Shen family, that is, the person Shen Guiya pointed at, Shen Guiyan.

Although the Shen family is an official family, Master Shen is only a fourth-rank servant. To be married to the prime minister's family is really a feat.Therefore, this marriage made Shen Guiya jealous.

"What's the use if you don't obey?" Master Shen scolded angrily: "What's the matter, there is no rule, do you think anyone can enter the threshold of the prime minister's mansion? Yan'er got this marriage by herself, No one fought for her."

Shen Guiya was furious: "If it wasn't for my father's partiality back then, when he visited the prime minister's mansion and only brought Guiyan, such a good thing could have happened to her? Why don't you fight for her?"

"Presumptuous!" Master Shen was furious, slapped the armrest and shouted: "Doing things for the father, do you still need your beak?"

Mrs. Shen next to her was taken aback, and quickly said: "Ya'er, don't make trouble anymore, Gui Yan's marriage has been settled for a long time, and now it's just a visit to Najib to ask the gift as agreed, what are you doing?"

The marriage between Shen Guiyan and the prime minister's son Gu Chaodong was decided when she was eight years old, Shen Guiya also knew about it.But she had never met Gu Chaodong before!Who knew that when I saw him a few days ago, that person was Yushu Linfeng with a charming face, why would such a good man be given up to Shen Guiyan?
What she hates the most is Shen Guiyan, who was born by the same father. Shen Guiyan is prettier than all her sisters, but she is just good-looking. She has acted like a god since she was a child. As a song, a poem can be written within the time of burning incense at the age of seven, and at the age of eight, Prime Minister Gu took a fancy to her and decided to become his daughter-in-law.

Such good luck, how can there be no reason not to be annoying.

"I just don't obey!" Thinking of Gu Chaodong's elegance, Shen Guiya's face was slightly distorted: "Marry a lowly son of a slave and go to the prime minister's residence, daddy is not afraid of offending the prime minister!"

"Slap!" Master Shen finally stood up, and slapped her with his hands.

Shen Guiya became quiet, and looked at the person in front of her in disbelief: "Father..."

"I never expected that I, Shen Shiqing, would be innocent all my life, but I would teach you to be such a bastard." Master Shen was trembling with anger, "Gui Yan is your sister, you bully her all day, even as a father you can turn a blind eye. Now that your sister has finally married to a good home, you still want to stop her?"

Tears quickly pooled in Shen Guiya's eyes, and she covered her face and said, "I also like Young Master Gu, Daddy! Don't you and your mother love Ya'er the most on weekdays? Why not this time? At worst, I will let her marry her." That's it, but I want to marry, I want to marry and be a flat wife..."

Madam Shen's complexion changed, she stood up and pulled Shen Guiya to her side: "Are you crazy?"

It's fine for the eldest daughter not to marry as well as a concubine, but the younger daughter is willing to be inferior to this concubine and be a common wife?Mrs. Shen was about to die of anger, but Shen Guiya was spoiled since she was a child, she got what she wanted, and no one could hold her back.

The concubine girl standing in the corner finally raised her head, with slender eyebrows, almond eyes and red lips, she had a good-looking face, but her voice was cold: "Fifth Younger Sister may not know something."

Shen Guiya turned her head and looked at her bitterly.

"The Gu family has strict rules. They only marry one person at a time. There is no precedent for marrying two wives together." Shen Guiyan said calmly: "If my younger sister really wants to marry, you can wait for two years after Gui Yan's marriage, which coincides with the time when my younger sister is ready to marry. age, my sister and her husband's family have a good word, and I can welcome my sister into the mansion again."

"You!" Shen Guiya was in a hurry. Shen Guiyan, who had always tolerated a low profile, actually dared to ridicule her. She was indeed going to marry into the prime minister's mansion, so there was nothing to be afraid of, right?
"Don't get complacent too early! I won't let you get what you want!" She sneered, "So what if you ask Najib, it's still too early for you to pass the door!"

"Ya'er!" Seeing the master's expression, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but angrily scolded.

Only then did Shen Guiya shut her mouth in resentment.

Master Shen looked at Shen Guiyan, sighed, and said, "Since Najib is going to ask for a gift, you should go back and prepare first. The rest of the people also go back to rest. If Ya'er dares to make trouble again, she will go to the firewood room to think about her mistakes." !"

"Yes." Everyone around agreed and left the hall back and forth.

There are really many people in Shen's residence, Mr. Shen married a total of three concubines, one wife.Mrs. Shen gave birth to two daughters and a son. Aunt Qin gave birth to the second young master Shen Guiwu and the third miss Shen Guiyan, and Aunt Fang gave birth to the fourth miss Shen Guiyi.

Shen Guiyan walked last, and Aunt Qin also slowed down her pace and walked to her side, whispering: "Third Miss, just be careful with Fifth Miss, stay away from her."

"I know." Shen Guiyan sighed slightly as she looked at the half-worn jacket on Aunt Qin's body.

Although she had a son and a daughter, Aunt Qin's life was not easy at all.Aunt Qin was originally a servant girl by Mrs. Shen's side, but she won Master Shen's favor after coming and going, and was helped to become an aunt after giving birth to the second young master.The madam doesn't like her, and she even makes things difficult for her.Aunt Qin's temperament was soft and soft, and she didn't make a sound even if she pinched it round or flat.

Shen Guiyan left her mother when she was five years old, and was taken by her nanny to live. When she grows up, she still has to worry about her mother.Because the Qin family is so easy to be bullied.

Now that she is finally going to marry into the prime minister's mansion, Shen Guiyan has already thought about it, if life in the mansion is really difficult, it would be good for her to send her mother out secretly.As long as she enters the prime minister's mansion, she should be capable.

When we got to the front of the small road and parted, Shen Guiyan was about to return to her yard with her maid, Bao Fan, when she heard a coquettish shout from behind: "Stop!"

The one who should come still has to come, Shen Guiyan sighed, and looked back at Shen Guiya who was following up, behind her was the youngest son in the house, Shen Guiwen who was just 13 years old.

"I was slapped by my father, so you want to go back to rest in peace like this?" Shen Guiya sneered, and with a wave of his hand, the servant behind him came up and held down both Shen Guiyan and Baoshan.

"Miss Wu, what are you doing?" Baoshan was a little anxious: "I can't fight today, but Miss will still see Gu's family tomorrow!"

Shen Guiyan is no stranger to it, ever since she showed her sharpness when she was a child, she would be punched and kicked by Shen Guiya when she came back.Shen Guiya was spoiled, did not learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, did not understand the Four Books and Five Classics, and gave her wife whatever she wanted, that's why she developed such a domineering temperament.

Fortunately, she was about to get married, and she couldn't bear it for a few days.

"Want to see the Gu family?" Shen Guiya sneered, "I wanted to beat her until she couldn't see her! When I was eight years old, I was able to seduce men. This face is really getting better and better."

While talking, she approached Shen Guiyan, feeling sorry for her hand, Shen Guiya was not ready to hit her with her hand, she specially made a piece of jade flat, one foot long, and slapped her face as soon as she grabbed it.

That beating person was extremely painful, but Shen Guiya had also gained experience in beating, and he would be strong enough to not interrupt Yu Bianzi no matter what.

Shen Guiyan frowned, she didn't want to suffer this, so she struggled twice.

"What? Are you scared?" Shen Guiya smiled and said, "Then you go and tell your father that you are not marrying Gu Chaodong and give him to me."

"No." Shen Guiyan closed her eyes and said, "I have been waiting for eight years, and I don't want to wait any longer."

If it wasn't for the thought that one day he would rescue her from this sea of ​​suffering, she would have been unable to bear it.

"Haha, I've been waiting for eight years!" Shen Guiya slapped her in the face: "Shameless bastard, thank you for being able to tell. I'll smash your face today, let's see what else you can do." To win Young Master Gu's heart?"

Severe pain came from the face, the jade flat was hit on the cheekbone, and it was bound to be blue tomorrow.The face is ruined, Najib will ask for his name tomorrow, I am afraid that he will have to call her sick again and ask Aunt Qin to help her.

Shen Guiya stood very close to her, slapping her face one after another.For a moment, Shen Guiyan really wanted to kick her in the stomach.
