"Azhi," Mrs. Mu Guogong comforted Shen softly, "Maybe we just thought too much. If my son-in-law has a little conscience, he will not be able to do such a thing..."
The Chu family was able to maintain the title of Yongding because of the marriage between the Chu family and the Duke Mu Mansion. The late emperor carefully exposed the matter with regard to Duke Mu's friendship.
Shen: “…”
Shen did not argue with the right thing and was not afraid to speculate on Chu Lingxiao with the worst malicious intentions.
Over the past few months, she has taken Chu Lingxiao's actions in her eyes. This man is like this to her biological children, and she doesn't think he has the so-called "conscience".
She held the hand of Duke Mu's wife and asked anxiously: "When will that guest monk arrive in the capital?"
"From the letter from the Second Manager, it should be three or five days away." Mrs. Mu sighed secretly in her heart.
Shen's eyes became deeper little by little, and he didn't say anything more.
It’s too early to say anything else now, so I can only wait until the monk arrives in the capital.
Fourteen years have passed.
It will be fourteen years next month. It will be too long. Chu Qianhuang and Chu Qianchen will be fourteen years old soon.
Fourteen years are enough to blur people's memories, tore apart some evidence from the past, and to make many people who participated in it die or disappear...
Many people and things have changed.
Moreover, the incident happened in Yuzhou, not in the capital, and it was not that easy for them to find out about this.
Even if she is anxious, she can only calm down and wait slowly.
Since she found out that she had found out now, even if this monk couldn't ask any key points, he always knew that some old friends from Daping Temple in the past could continue to dig.
She doesn't believe that Chu Lingxiao can do it without leaving any traces of clues!
Shen's face showed a sense of courage and determination that he would never give up until he achieved his goal.
In the eyes of Mrs. Mu, I felt heartbroken.
Who doesn’t want their daughter to be smooth and harmonious with her son-in-law? But the eldest daughter is so unhappy in marriage.
It was their fault. They harmed their daughter. Low marriage is not a problem, and repaying kindness is not a problem. However, this son-in-law must have good character, and the rest are second.
The wife of Duke Mu was cut by a knife and her lips moved slightly.
At this moment, a burst of rapid steps came from outside, and the Xiang Concubine curtain leading to the main hall was beaten up.
Madam Chen walked in quickly and replied anxiously: "Madam, the eldest lady is gone!"
Shen: “…”
Madam Chen continued: "The eldest girl told the third cousin that she wanted to go out to buy the snacks from Liufuji to make you happy, so she hid in the third cousin's carriage and left the Duke's mansion. While buying snacks, the person ran away, leaving only a note."
"Miss San Cousin was still looking for someone near Luke Fuji, so he only sent an old lady back to his house to pass on the message."
While speaking, Madam Chen presented the note to Shen.
Mrs. Mu quickly said, "Send someone to find him again."
"No need." Shen smiled bitterly and shook his head, looking at the note in his hand disheartenedly.
The beautiful handwriting on the paper is so familiar and unfamiliar.
Shen said slowly and hard: "She has entered the palace again..."
She closed her eyes and described her fatigue.
Suddenly, her throat became hot and she quickly leaned over and covered her mouth with a veil.
The snow-white veil was stained with bright blood at a speed visible to the naked eye, making it so red.
Mrs. Mu: "Azhi!"
Madam Chen: "Madam!"
Seeing Shen vomiting blood, both of them screamed nervously, and were very scared.
Mrs. Mu Guo shook his hand and his arm hit the fruit pot. The fruit pot fell, and the fruit inside fell off the coffee table and rolled all over the floor.
"Come here, go and ask the doctor!" Mrs. Mu Guo's face turned pale, shocked and worried, and quickly raised his voice and ordered.
"Mom, no need." Shen pressed Duke Mu with one hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, putting the handkerchief into his sleeves, as if she had put away her worries and pains these days.
A maid in green came in after hearing the news and walked in quickly, worried that someone would get an acute illness.
Mrs. Shen smiled pale and sent the maid away again.
"It's okay." Shen's words seemed to be said to Mrs. Mu, and also seemed to be said to herself.
Her face was a little pale, but her phoenix eyes were very clear and bright, and she finally made up a certain decision in her heart.
She knew that over the past few days, she had been suppressing something in her heart, and she felt very uncomfortable.
Because she was worried and was depressed, she often couldn't sleep all night. The doctor advised her to relax, but how could she relax? The palms and backs of her hands are full of flesh...
Now, the blood that was blocked in her heart was vomiting out, and she felt more comfortable.
She subconsciously touched the moon-shaped sachet on her waist. The fragrance of the sachet penetrated into her nose, calming her mood a little.
Shen said lightly: "I have tried my best."
She persuaded all the people who can persuade her; she did all the people who can do it; she also gave Chu Qianhuang the chance...
Once, twice, three times...
Chu Qianhuang disappointed her again and again, and repeatedly pretended to disobey her, and used any means to achieve her goals again and again.
This girl will not give up until she sees the Yellow River and will not repent!
Shen was extremely disappointed with this eldest daughter who once made her proud.
How could Duke Mu let go of Chu Qianhuang? This is the granddaughter she has watched from now on.
"Azhi, don't be too persistent." Mrs. Mu advised again, "No matter how suspicious you are, you cannot make a decision that will make you regret it in the future because of your doubt."
"We have also watched Sister Huang grow up since childhood."
Mrs. Mu felt that she could not push Chu Qianhuang away because of a small suspicion. After all, everything was not decided yet. When she saw Chu Qianhuang's appearance, she looked like Shen, and no one would doubt their relationship.
Madam Chen: “…”
Madam Chen looked at Shen, but didn't know how to persuade her. The lady went against the eldest girl step by step, and gradually moved away from each other... She saw all these.
Madam Chen was also very sorry for the big girl. She also tactfully advised Chu Qianhuang several times, but Chu Qianhuang was as if she was so confused as to lard, but she just couldn't listen.
Shen pulled the corner of his mouth with difficulty, showed a bitter smile, and said exhaustedly: "The candle will only dry out after turning into ashes... The candle will eventually burn out one day."
"..." Mrs. Mu was silent, not knowing what else to say.
People in the world say that maternal love is selfless, but there is no one-sided selflessness in this world. The relationship between people is like a candle. I only know that it will burn blindly and it will eventually burn it all day long.
She knew her eldest daughter. No matter whether there was any problem with Chu Qianhuang's life experience, she was raised by the eldest daughter. The mother-daughter relationship has been different for more than ten years, but now Chu Qianhuang has almost polished her love little by little.
Mrs. Mu really couldn't understand how her daughter's nature and means could have raised Chu Qianhuang like this! This child went all the way, and at least he didn't even know that the child would be in trouble in the future!
The indescribable lady of Duke Mu felt complicated, a little sighed, a little heartbroken, a little puzzled, and a little emotion, and sighed softly: "Sister Huang was not like this before."
The mind of Mrs. Mu Guoguo's childhood Chu Qianhuang, who was a child, appeared in his mind, was small, soft and obedient.
At first, Duke Mu's wife also regretted that her eldest daughter failed to give birth to a prince in one fell swoop. She regretted that her eldest daughter had damaged her body in order to give birth to Chu Qianhuang, but Chu Qianhuang was really likable.
Since childhood, Chu Qianhuang often came to the Duke's Mansion. Sometimes she came with Shen, sometimes she came to visit herself alone, bringing the girl she made, the Buddhist scriptures she copied, the calligraphy and paintings she drew...
The little girl is beautiful, generous, smart and clever, and learns everything quickly, making it difficult not to like it.
In particular, Mrs. Mu was somewhat concerned about her granddaughter and was better to treat her than to her granddaughter. Chu Qianhuang also made her feel that her care was not in vain. The little girl has been considerate since she was a child.
Gradually, Duke Mu's wife felt that with the chaos of the Marquis's mansion, the eldest daughter could have a caring little cotton jacket, so that her life would not be too hard.
Shen: “…”
Shen was silent, and this sentence echoed in his mind. Sister Huang was not like this before.
Yes, Chu Qianhuang was obviously not like this before.
Shen didn't know when Chu Qianhuang had changed a little. It should have happened in the past two years. At the beginning, she only had some minor changes. For example, someone who didn't like to eat celery in the past suddenly made people cook celery dumplings; for example, she didn't like to ride a horse for a while, such as...
She thought her daughter had just grown up and didn't care, so she waited until...
Thinking of Chu Qianhuang, Shen's heart tide fluctuated violently, and her chest began to feel stuffy again, as if a huge rock was pressing against her, as if a saw was cutting her heart in her heart.
Her face turned whiter little by little, slightly blue, and her face was as bright as gold paper.
Her appearance seemed to be passing by at any time, scared Mrs. Mu. Mrs. Mu was anxious and grabbed Shen's left hand, "Azhi, don't scare me!"
"Come..."
Mrs. Mu wanted to invite a doctor to go through the mansion again, but Madam Chen's movements were even worse. She took off the crescent-shaped sachet on the side of Shen's waist and put the sachet under her nose.
Shen grabbed the sachet and took a few deep sips, holding the smell of medicine, orchid, licorice, etc. into her nose, gradually dissipating the depression in her heart...
After a moment, Shen's face improved a little, he drank two sips of warm tea, and smiled bitterly again, "I'm worried about me."
"You're polite to me!" Mrs. Mu was relieved and ordered the maid to make a cup of Shen's heart-nourishing tea.
Another maid quickly cleaned up the fruits and melons that fell to the ground. After a while, the room became clean and tidy again.
Mrs. Mu also drank a sip of the tea for calming the mind and nourishing the heart. She calmed down and frowned slightly, sighed in confusion: "Why is Huang Jie'er interested in being a princess to read together!"
