Chapter 117: Li Jun's Frustration
Of course, considering the power of Shen and Li's houses, the crown prince could at most just secretly stir up trouble with the Shen family. He would not dare to blatantly bully the Shen family. If the two sides really started to quarrel, his crown prince would You may not be able to sit in the seat.
Compared to the weaker Cheng'an Bo Mansion, if Li Yaoqin didn't want to marry the prince, and didn't want to ruin her reputation, suicide was indeed the best way to save her integrity in that isolated and helpless situation.
Shen Qiujun was also fully aware of his father's intention in asking his brother seriously today.
That incident back then, except for occasional nightmares and being unable to sleep on thundery and rainy days, was actually over for her long ago. Others praising Li Yaoqin would not hinder her at all.
If time goes back, she will still choose to kill those people with a knife instead of committing suicide in vain, because her death is in vain. Even if her family wants to avenge themselves, they may not find their enemies, and she has weapons in her hands. He also knows some boxing and kicking skills, so he won't sit still and wait for death.
At this time, Shen Zhaoning said: "In this case, as a soldier, the pride is naturally to commit suicide for the country, to boost our ambitions, and in the future, I will be famous until death. However, if it is a son, , as long as the enemy can't kill the son, the son will fight him to the end. Killing one is enough, killing a pair is enough to make a profit, and even if it doesn't work, you have to bite off a piece of his body. In addition, false fame is nothing, only by living can you have hope. There may still be a chance of survival through resistance, but committing suicide is really asking for death. Enemies will be happy, but loved ones will suffer."
Father Shen nodded secretly after hearing this, but Shen Qiujun happened to pick up a piece of meat. When he heard his brother say that he wanted to bite off a piece of meat from his opponent, he couldn't eat the piece of meat, so he had to put it on a small plate next to him and said angrily: "Brother, I'm eating right now. Do you think this is disgusting or not? Why don't you let me eat?"
Mrs. Shen had been paying attention to her daughter. Seeing that she really didn't care about this matter, she hurriedly complained to Father Shen: "That's it. How about a good meal as a family? We have to talk about war and court affairs. Why don't you and your son just stay together?" Forget it, go to the study room outside to eat."
The Shen family's father and son apologized hurriedly. After that, the stone in the Shen family's heart finally fell to the ground, knowing that they no longer had to worry about Shen Qiujun being affected by the past.
Not long after, the Shen family checked the date and went to the Cheng family to ask for names. Naturally, the horoscopes matched, and both families were well-off during this period, so they chose a good date to live in the marriage.
On this day, many relatives and friends received the letter and came to congratulate me one after another. Shen Lijun also came early in the morning.
Shen Xijun did not come, but Mrs. Yu arrived early in the morning. It was said that Shen Xijun was diagnosed as being pregnant for more than a month the day before yesterday, and she did not dare to let her move around in the car at will.
Mrs. Shen was overjoyed. She congratulated Mrs. Yu repeatedly. Mrs. Yu beamed with joy and said hurriedly: "I'm so happy."
Mrs. Yu said hello to everyone and hurried back to her house. Mrs. Shen naturally sent someone to visit her daughter. When she learned that everything was fine, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but silently chant in her heart. She also felt that this was brought by Cheng Xiumei. Good luck, I am more and more satisfied with this wife.
The auspicious time came. Shen Zhaoning took the letter of appointment, led by the matchmaker, and together with some relatives and friends, carried the wedding ceremony to the Cheng family in a grand manner.
The other ladies seized this rare opportunity to get together and continued to drink tea and chat. Naturally, they inevitably gathered in groups and talked mysteriously about Li Yaoqin.
Shen Qiujun was an unmarried girl, so she couldn't hang around in front of her. She only helped with some chores in the side hall. Shen Lijun sat outside for a while, then walked up to her and said with emotion: "A few days ago, Cheng An I think you have heard about the matter in the uncle's house. Miss Li is really a respectable and admirable chaste woman. Now everyone praises her. It can be seen that life and death are small matters, and reputation is big. She can have such a Such a strong character is truly a role model for women like us, and should be passed down through the ages."
If this were said by anyone who was not from the Shen family, Shen Qiujun would agree with it, but now hearing Shen Lijun say it like this, it feels very harsh.
Looking at Shen Lijun looking at her with a half-smiling look, Shen Qiujun couldn't help but feel angry. She originally thought that after she saw through Shen Lijun's scheme against her, Shen Lijun would be ashamed to see her again, and the two of them would There is no need to offend the river in this well, and there is no need to openly quarrel with each other, as long as each of us retains a little dignity.
Now it seems that she has no use value, because of what happened back then, she actually wanted to die to express her ambition.
Shen Qiujun was so angry that he wanted to retort, but suddenly he thought that today was a good day for his brother. If there was a noise, it would be unlucky, and outsiders would laugh at the Shen family, so he looked at Shen Lijun and sneered a few times, then turned around and went back. I was in my own yard, but I couldn't swallow this breath. After thinking about it, I waved to a little girl and whispered a few instructions.
Everything about the engagement went smoothly, and Mrs. Shen smiled from ear to ear for the whole day. However, later she heard some words from Shen Lijun from a talkative girl next to her, and her heart became a little heavy.
After sending away all the relatives and friends, Mrs. Shen called Shen Lijun to come to the room.
After retreating from the screen, Mrs. Shen asked solemnly: "How have you been recently?"
Shen Lijun was not wary of her mother's question. She was startled for a moment and then smiled and said, "Of course my life is going very well. Why does my mother ask this?"
Mrs. Shen looked at her daughter and sighed: "I am your mother. You don't have to hide it. Is it because the wise king is worried about what happened on the day you gave birth and said something unpleasant?"
Shen Lijun hurriedly said: "No, he has always been very good to me, and he has never mentioned anything about that day."
Mrs. Shen looked at her daughter's expression carefully, shook her head and said, "I don't believe it. You don't have to lie to me. If he hadn't cut out your heart with his words, how could you have thought of committing suicide! Don't think so because of other people's sarcastic remarks. Suicide and martyrdom. Even if you don’t look at the desolation of parents with white hair and sending people with black hair, you should live well for the sake of your children. Is the name of a chaste and martyr woman useful? Can it bring people back to life and start over?"
Shen Lijun felt that she had been severely beaten, and her heart felt uncomfortable, so she could only force a smile and said: "Don't worry, mother, I did it just to cure the disease that day, and I did it as a last resort. The King Xian, he didn't take it seriously. He also said that as long as I could survive safely, he would give everything he had."
Mrs. Shen was relieved and advised: "I would rather be a beggar than a father who is an official. Even for the sake of my children, don't have such stupid thoughts. Besides, only we ourselves know about it, and the matter is over." It's been so long, even if you are really dead, no one will build a chastity memorial for you."
Shen Lijun had no choice but to let her go, and Mrs. Shen dragged her along and nagged her for a long time before she was released.
As soon as he came out, he saw Shen Qiujun holding a lot of flowers, making fun of them while putting them on Shen Zhaoning's head.
Shen Zhaoning was still very satisfied with Cheng Xiumei as his daughter-in-law. At this time, being teased by his sister, he just blushed and giggled.
When Shen Lijun saw Shen Qiujun looking at her with a smile, she became even more angry. She wanted to go over and say a few sarcastic words, but she was also worried now, so she had to go over and say a few words with a smile before leaving Shen's house.
Shen Lijun sat in the car, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. If Shen Qiujun could have maintained the character of the Shen family, remained loyal and unyielding, and died a martyrdom, it would not have brought shame to the Shen family and made her unable to hold her head high in front of the famous family.
At this time, she happened to pass by Yongtai Hou Mansion, and Shen Lijun ordered someone to hand over a post to visit Shen Xijun.
Shen Xijun had an accident due to her previous pregnancy. This time, not only herself, but also the entire Hou family was on guard.
Mrs. Yu naturally did not dare to stop Shen Lijun, but she was extremely dissatisfied in her heart.
The reason why she told Mrs. Shen about her daughter-in-law's pregnancy today was because of etiquette. There had to be an explanation for Shen Xijun's absence. Secondly, she could finally have a grandchild. She couldn't hold back the joy in her heart, so she said Mrs. Shen said it, and she made it clear: "The days are too short, we have to wait three months before telling the outside world. Don't worry, the family will not let her waste any time. Everyone in Yang'er's house has also been kicked out. Wait for three months." Once the pregnancy is stable, I won’t be afraid of being tired anymore, and then I’ll invite everyone in the house to have fun together.”
After hearing this, Mrs. Shen knew that Mrs. Yu was a little angry at the Shen Mansion for Shen Xijun's childlessness last time. After all, it happened during the interactions between the Shen Mansion's relatives. Now that Madam Yu regards her grandson as her most important thing, she will naturally take good care of her. Those who take care of their daughter just do as they please.
When Shen Xijun heard that her eldest sister came to see her, she was also a little confused. Her mother had obviously sent someone to tell her to take good care of the fetus and not to bother herself. She would wait three months before coming to see her again. Why did her sister come here again? ?It seems that I still don’t feel reassured about myself.
Shen Lijun had already arrived at this time. Seeing her sister's happy smiling face, she had no choice but to force a smile and walk over to say hello.
Shen Xijun thanked her, then took her and asked her about Shen Zhaoning's wedding. Shen Lijun had to be patient and answered them one by one.
Shen Xijun smiled and said, "My mother may not be very happy today. When Fuyu gets married tomorrow, my parents will finally have enough to worry about, and they should live a happy life in comfort for a few years."
Shen Lijun laughed along with her for a while and then mentioned Li Yaoqin's matter.
Shen Xijun couldn't help but open her eyes wide and said with a smile: "There are such strange women in the world! I have never heard of them."
For a moment, she complained happily: "Since I was diagnosed with pregnancy, my mother-in-law and husband are not allowed to tell me about the messy things outside. I am only allowed to eat and drink well every day. I am really afraid of waiting. I don't know how fat I became when I gave birth to the child." He whispered again: "We are related to the prince, so I'm afraid this matter will not be spread in the house."
Shen Lijun said: "Now everyone pretends not to know on the surface, but in fact they are praising him secretly in their hearts. Even those who are related to Cheng'an Bo Mansion now speak with a straight back."
