When Shen Lijun heard what her sister said, she couldn't help but said: "Having said that, Li Yaoqin's courage is really admirable."
Shen Xijun said: "She had no choice at the time. If she had any way, she wouldn't have reached this point. Who doesn't want to live well? If that person was not a prince or a nobleman, I dare say that she would have pierced that person with her hairpin. , instead of facing yourself.”
Seeing that Shen Lijun could never talk to Shen Xijun, she lost her mind, said a few random words, and left.
Shen Xijun sent her sister out of her small courtyard and went back. Thinking that her sister was evasive and evasive today, but she never seemed to finish everything, she thought about it for a long time and couldn't think of a reason, so she sent someone to tell her mother that something was wrong with her. .
After Mrs. Shen heard about it, she complained that her eldest daughter was not sensible and had already told her not to visit her second daughter until she was three months old to avoid disturbing her mind. She also felt that Shen Lijun was acting strangely and was afraid that she would feel guilty. If you still can't get over that threshold, if you really can't think about it anymore, you may commit suicide again.
Mrs. Shen was so anxious that she couldn't sleep well all night. The next day, she hurried to Prince Xian's Mansion at dawn to enlighten her daughter.
Shen Lijun repeatedly explained that she only went to see Congyu because she cared about her, and had no other thoughts, and promised that she would not look away.
Mrs. Shen breathed a sigh of relief and saw that the wise king seemed to be treating his daughter as usual. But after all, he loved his daughter very much, so when talking to the wise king, he would occasionally express some reproach and advice.
Not to mention that the wise king is in the position of prince, but ordinary princes have been accustomed to being noble since they were young. Who dares to really show off the money of his father-in-law and mother-in-law in front of them.
It's just that the Xian Wang had hoped that the Shen family could help him, so he was so respectful to the Shen family and his wife that Mrs. Shen forgot about the respect of the Xian Wang and really regarded herself as an elder.
The wise king believed that his wife had lost her virginity before, but he didn't take it too seriously. He didn't accuse his wife of neglecting her because of it. He still treated her as usual. Although he always felt a little knotty in his heart, it would gradually get better over time. Get better.
Moreover, although he had not slept with his wife, he had never found anyone else. It could be said that he had done his utmost to be benevolent and righteous. He did not expect that his wife would run to tell Mrs. Shen about the affairs between the two of them. She could not help but become angry and stood up in a hurry and said: "The king has something to do, so I have to excuse myself. I have the princess with me. I hope Mrs. Shen will have a good time."
Mrs. Shen looked at the back of King Xian striding out, and was so angry that her heart was blocked. She said to Shen Lijun: "A person who can even ignore his mother-in-law is not worthy of you treating him like that. Don't think about anything else in the future." Yes, raising children well is the right thing to do."
After Mrs. Shen said this, she ignored Shen Lijun's efforts to stay and returned to the house angrily.
It happened that Father Shen was also at home, so Mrs. Shen couldn't help complaining sadly: "What do you mean by marrying a woman from a low-class family? If you marry a girl from a high-class family, your daughter must not marry a high-class family in the future. Otherwise, her face will be ruined." , and you have to humble yourself in front of your son-in-law. If your daughter is wronged in the future, who can support her?"
Father Shen smiled and said, "What are you talking about? Are you really willing to marry Qiu'er at a low age?"
"What's the point of not giving up?" Mrs. Shen said: "As long as the person is really good, it's not impossible to consider, but such a person is really hard to find. The King Xian is really unreasonable, and he doesn't see any use for us now. I'm too lazy to even do the superficial work."
At this time, Shen Lijun also came to the study of King Xian and said: "I am also a loving mother in the world. I am obviously living a good life, but my mother is always afraid that you will feel uncomfortable because of that and treat me badly, so it is inevitable that you will make noises." I'm sorry, please be considerate."
The wise king sighed: "You and I are married, so naturally we will hold hands for the rest of our lives. I once said that as long as you can be safe, I will do it at all costs. But just being mentioned about it just now makes me feel aggrieved, thinking that you are not Believe me, I acted a little recklessly, and I will send someone to the house to apologize later."
Shen Lijun suddenly felt relieved and said with a smile: "That's great! Let's do this. I'll send you a few things in your name. I think my mother's anger will subside."
The wise king nodded and said: "To be honest, sometimes your mother acts too... Well, your old lady is such an upright person. The Shen Mansion was so strict in the past. Now when she looks at the mansion, she only says that she is... In a military general’s home, there are no rules inside or outside the family! Everyone says that Marquis Shen is loyal and filial, so why did he send the old lady out?"
When Shen Lijun heard this, she also sighed deeply: "If it hadn't been for the incident of supporting Yu, how could my grandmother have left the capital in anger? I wonder if I can still fulfill my filial piety by her side in my lifetime?"
The wise king choked up when hearing Shen Lijun's words and hurriedly coaxed him in a low voice.
It took Shen Lijun a long time to recover, and then went out to pack some things to send to Shen's house.
When Mrs. Shen saw something coming from Prince Xian's Mansion, she knew it was a gift in disguise, so she looked a little better, but she was still dissatisfied in her heart: The Sixth Prince was still kneeling there for a long time that day, and they were not relatives but friends. He Xian The king didn't even have time to come in person.
Although he thought so, because his daughter still had to beg for food from him, she had to change her smile and chat with the people in the palace.
Mrs. Shen originally wanted to send some new gold and silver ornaments to Sister Lan to enjoy, but when she saw that Prince Xian’s palace only gave them new gifts for food and the like, she suddenly felt that her gift was too tacky, and she didn’t want Prince Xian to look down on her, so she gave it instead. There are a few fresh fruits and melons that are newly produced in the village, and the gold and jade utensils are specially replaced by the skillfully hand-woven flower baskets in their village, which is also a bit of wild fun.
Shen Qiujun ordered people to prepare it, but he thought to himself: If these things are given to the second sister, she may be happy for a few days, but if they are given to the palace of the poor and crazy Prince Xian, it may not be possible.
At this time, someone came to report: The Sixth Prince is here!
When Shen Qiujun saw that his mother was still making excuses for others, he took the initiative and asked someone to lead him to his brother's courtyard, and he arrived soon after.
The Sixth Prince smiled and cupped his hands and said: "Congratulations! I saw that the house was too busy a few days ago, so I didn't come over. Today I just want to congratulate you together."
Shen Qiujun smiled quickly, thanked him, and asked someone to collect the things.
The Sixth Prince added: "I see that there are carriages and horses from Prince Xian's Mansion outside. Is there something going on?"
Shen Qiujun sneered and said: "The wise king sent someone to apologize. Since he is a prince, he doesn't even understand the dignity of elders and children. Everyone knows how the wise king can love my eldest sister. I don't think so. If he really loves his wife, How can you not put your mother-in-law in your eyes? The prince’s money is quite sufficient.”
Hearing this, the Sixth Prince quietly lowered his head and said with a smile: "Isn't he here to apologize? It seems that he still knows that he was wrong."
When Shen Qiujun heard this, he looked at the sixth prince strangely and said, "I thought you would scold me along with me if you were not on good terms with the wise king. Sure enough, the princes all thought that they were above all etiquette."
The Sixth Prince became anxious and said: "How long has it happened? You are still bringing it up. I kowtowed to you with tea and bowed my head at that time. Even your mother forgave me, but you are still using it as an excuse."
Shen Qiujun didn't think of what happened last time when he spoke. He immediately took his seat when he thought of the Sixth Prince.
The sixth prince was so angry that he was shaking his fan. Shen Qiujun hurriedly stepped forward to apologize, but the sixth prince felt that he had been greatly wronged and turned around without saying a word.
Shen Qiujun had no choice but to laugh with him and say something to induce him to talk.
The sixth prince either remained silent or snorted. Shen Qiujun had no choice but to make random excuses and said: "You are too worried. I said that because I thought of the young lady from Amber Mansion in the city a few days ago. I'm just expressing my feelings about the things I've encountered. I guess you've heard a thing or two about it."
The Sixth Prince hummed: "I've never heard of it, does it have anything to do with me?"
Shen Qiujun hurriedly smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I just think the prince's behavior is too ridiculous. Fortunately, Miss Li is strong-willed, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
The sixth prince sneered: "What is chastity and steadfastness? If you are forced to commit suicide, you won't even be able to resist. The more coward you are, the more coward you will be. If she kills the prince, I will admire her. Take her own life. How stupid is this to threaten others, who does she think she is, that others treat her as a treasure?"
Shen Qiujun frowned and said: "If that person was not the prince, she would naturally attack him. Just because he was the prince, she and her family could not afford the price, so she had no choice but to do it. Doesn't she want to live?"
"So she is not strong enough, otherwise she would not think so much, but just kill someone first," the sixth prince said again: "If she really kills the prince, I will definitely admire her to the point of falling to the ground, and she still kills people. Only those who can find a way to escape unscathed are truly a person with true temperament and strategy, and such a person deserves to be so praised by the world."
"You are obviously trying to force others to do something difficult! I'm afraid no one in the world can do it." Shen Qiujun couldn't help shouting angrily.
The Sixth Prince spread his hands and said with a smile: "So, it is extremely ridiculous that such a coward and stupid person should be praised by everyone."
Shen Qiujun couldn't help but said sourly: "If she is really a strong and true-hearted person, how do you express your admiration?"
The sixth prince closed the fan in his hand and said with a smile: "No matter how nice she is, does it have anything to do with me? I am a grown man who has nothing to do. All day long, the three aunts and the six wives in the family are commenting on those women."
The Sixth Prince saw that Shen Qiujun was not angry on his face, as if he was aggrieved by Li Yao's music, so he added: "Actually, this happened to an unrelated person. In order to show that I am innocent, I will also give a compliment in front of outsiders, but if it happened When it comes to my own people, I feel that it is better to live than die, otherwise there will be no me."
Shen Qiujun then remembered that he had said something short in front of the dwarf, and couldn't help but regret it. Fortunately, the sixth prince didn't take it seriously.
