Chapter 317 Deeds Revealed
After the meal, you should go to express your gratitude to the Queen, but at this time, Shen Qiujun was preparing delicious food for the family in the small kitchen, and had long forgotten about Mrs. Shen and her daughter. Zhuang Chengrong originally wanted to be an uncle and was focused on waiting. Shen Qiujun was the waiter. Later, when he saw that her hands were in a mess because she had not cooked the food there for many years, she simply washed her hands and came to help.
The palace people avoided it with a wink, leaving space to this couple who were different from ordinary emperors and empresses.
When the female official saw this, she knew that not to mention being on par with Mrs. Shen and others, her daughter, Mrs. Shi San, held far less weight in the Queen's heart than her daughter, Mrs. Shi San, so she made a decision: "Now the Queen, Mrs. I am accompanying the Emperor, and I have no free time at the moment, and I don’t know when I will be free. Why don’t you go back first, Madam, and I will express my gratitude to the Queen on Madam’s behalf.”
In fact, this kind of situation is not uncommon. Normally, Sister-in-law Shen might have complained in her heart that Shen Qiujun was neglectful, but at this time, she was extremely grateful to Shen Qiujun for not having time to talk to her, so she hurriedly thanked the female officer and took her with her. My daughter, who looked hopeful, hurriedly left.
Sister-in-law Shen was going to teach her daughter a lesson as soon as she got on the carriage, but she didn't expect that the people in the palace were all well-rounded and well-rounded people. Although the female officer knew that the queen did not want to see Mrs. Wei Guo, she still had to do everything for her. Leave a way out for yourself. After all, Mrs. Wei Guogong and her daughter are the Queen's mother-in-law. If there is a conflict now, it does not mean that they will not reconcile in the future. If they reconcile, he will be in trouble. So the female officer sent someone again Personally escorting Sister-in-law Shen and her daughter home, this is also a rule. It is not against the rules.
Sister-in-law Shen was afraid that the walls had ears, so she did not dare to talk nonsense to her daughter, so she had to sit in the car, planning to have a good talk with her daughter when she got home, so that she would know her way back in time, so as not to make a mistake that would lead to eternal regret.
However, she did not know that the Shen family was already in turmoil at this time. Due to a series of unforeseen circumstances, she lost the opportunity to persuade her daughter. She could only lament that life is unpredictable and fate has its way with people.
First, let’s talk about Shen Lijun and Sister Lan. They came from the palace after all. They have seen and experienced many things. Now I see that Brother Gui’s illness has not improved. Not to mention, it is much worse than before, but it is worse than when he fell into the water. I was very weak at that time, so I naturally became suspicious.
In addition, Cheng Xiumei couldn't bear to see Brother Gui's life lost in vain because of the rift between the elders, so she deliberately let it slip. Therefore, mother and daughter Shen Lijun watched carefully. If you look down, it will not be difficult to find the flaws.
Unfortunately, Sister-in-law Shen has been the mistress and the master of the house for many years. She still has some means to control the slaves. Therefore, although Shen Lijun and her daughter had suspicions, they never had the opportunity to investigate.
Today coincided with Shen Qiujun summoning Sister-in-law Shen and her daughter, which gave Shen Lijun the opportunity to use the vigorous and resolute methods of the good princess back then, coupled with the support of Sister Lan and Cheng Xiumei's laissez-faire, it only took half a day. to find out the truth of the matter.
Shen Lijun felt cold all over. She never expected that her precious son would almost lose his life in her most trusted family. She never expected that her sister-in-law, who was such a close friend back then, would be so cruel as to destroy her son. .
Thinking of her innocent son being treated like this, Shen Lijun's chest hurt and her heart was broken.
Sister Lan hurriedly supported her shaky mother and advised: "Now is not the time to be angry and sad. We must quickly stir up trouble while she is not in the house. Otherwise, when she comes back and takes control of the situation, not only will our work be in vain, but in the future The days are even more difficult and dangerous.”
Shen Lijun was reminded by her daughter and understood that the opportunity must not be missed. She also knew that her grandmother had nothing to do now, and even if she was in charge, she had to protect her elder brother's family, so she picked up a group of people and went straight to the main building where Mrs. Shen lived. Come to the hospital.
Mrs. Shen is now old and mentally weak, but Cheng Xiumei has been taking care of the affairs of the government over the years, and her work is very popular with her. Therefore, since Shen Zhaoying was named the Duke of Wei and Shen Zhaoning was granted the title of Crown Prince, he simply took over the affairs of the government. Leave it to Cheng Xiumei, and she will just live in peace.
When she heard that her eldest daughter came to see her today, Mrs. Shen just thought that Shen Lijun had seen through the world and no longer hid in the courtyard to feel sorry for herself. She was very happy for her. Thinking that mother and daughter had not seen each other for many days, she felt filled with joy. He was really worried about her, so he stood up to greet his daughter.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the eldest daughter entered the door, her face was full of tears, she threw herself in front of Mrs. Shen, and cried bitterly: "Mother, please save Guier, please save my daughter's family, my daughter really can't survive here."
Mrs. Shen was shocked and said hurriedly: "But Brother Gui is not in good health again? Someone will take my post and go to the Imperial Hospital to ask for the Imperial Doctor."
Shen Lijun sobbed and shook her head: "It's useless..."
Mrs. Shen said hurriedly: "I think that although Gui'er's body is not strong, she is a person with long blessings. You don't have to worry and be afraid. There is an imperial doctor for everything." As she said this, she ordered someone: "Go and fetch those people who often come here." We have invited all the imperial doctors here, but I am afraid that the medicinal materials in the palace may not be enough, so please bring more. It is an urgent matter, and I will thank you greatly in the future."
The girls hurriedly agreed and went to the front to spread the message. At this time, Sister Lan said from behind: "Someone is deliberately trying to take his life. Even if the imperial doctor comes, it will not work."
Mrs. Shen was horrified when she heard this and asked anxiously: "Is it the emperor? This is impossible. Brother Gui has always been a good man and has a bad body. He has never been involved in those things. The emperor had already found out that day. , Maybe the promise will not be difficult for Brother Gui, why did he go back on his word? Stop crying, tell me what is going on, crying will not solve the problem, if he really goes back on his word, mother will go to the palace to beg for help The Emperor and Queen go."
Seeing this, some people may say that Mrs. Shen's words are a bit arrogant. In fact, it is because she has always felt sorry for her grandson and started giving him medicine when he couldn't eat. Now that he has lived under her knees for more than a year, it becomes more and more serious. I loved this kind and sensible child very much. Now that I heard that the emperor wanted to take his life, I was so anxious that I couldn't care about anything else.
Furthermore, although Zhuang Chengrong was cold-hearted by nature and only regarded Shen Qiujun as his only relative in the world, he was a little more favored to the Shen family because of Shen Qiujun's face. However, due to the gift of a fur from Mrs. Shen, Zhuang Chengrong unexpectedly enjoyed it. The warmth of being cared for by his mother has always been remembered, coupled with Shen Qiujun's influence, so Zhuang Chengrong has always respected Mrs. Shen very much, so he always gave Mrs. Shen honors everywhere.
Because Zhuang Chengrong never had concubines and there were only a few masters in the palace, Zhuang Chengrong specially allocated several highly skilled imperial doctors for Mrs. Shen's use. He also specifically stated that all the rare medicinal materials used by Mrs. Shen were produced by the palace. , Zhuang Chengrong also turned a blind eye to Mrs. Shen's fake public charity and gave it to Brother Gui privately.
After hearing her mother's words, Shen Lijun felt even more aggrieved for her son. Her son had survived unharmed in the struggle for power, but now he almost lost his life at the hands of his own relatives.
When Sister Lan saw her mother just sobbing, she became impatient. If this continued, if Sister Shen came back, the servants would change their words under her power, and her family's work would be in vain.
Thinking of this, Sister Lan hurriedly stepped forward and knelt in front of Mrs. Shen. She told how Brother Gui was pushed into the water by Sister Zhen's girl, how he became weak due to the cold, how the doctor he called was ineffective, and how he was just today. It was discovered that Sister Shen had actually taken control of the courtyard where her mother and son lived, and had replaced the rare medicinal materials with unused ones, thus delaying Brother Gui's condition, etc., etc., and told them in detail one by one.
The more Mrs. Shen listened, the paler her face became and the colder her heart became. Although it was just Sister Lan's one-sided statement, she couldn't help but not believe it when she saw the servants kneeling in the courtyard come out to testify.
How important the inheritance of the title is, Mrs. Shen naturally understands it very well. When receiving the order that day, Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Lijun with resentment. Mrs. Shen also saw it clearly, but she really couldn't intervene rashly. .
Moreover, in Mrs. Shen's mind, she only thought that Sister-in-law Shen would inevitably be sarcastic and sarcastic towards Shen Lijun, and she might also find excuses to embarrass Shen Lijun. There was nothing she could do about it. Although Shen Zhaoying was plotted by the emperor, she seemed to have benefited from it. Shen Lijun, she has to pay a price for this benefit.
Moreover, this is a difficult problem to solve. Mrs. Shen thought about it, but she was at a loss. She didn't know how to solve it. She only hoped that the Duke Wei's mansion would be built soon and the eldest son's family would move out. If we don't meet each other, maybe things will get better as time goes by.
Moreover, during this period, everything was calm in the house. Although Mrs. Shen did not believe that Sister-in-law Shen had accepted her fate, she thought that it was Shen Zhaoying who controlled her daughter-in-law not to embarrass Shen Lijun because of the deep love between brother and sister. However, Mrs. Shen had absolutely no intention of doing so. Thinking that Sister-in-law Shen would find another way to reach out to Brother Gui, it is really vicious.
Mrs. Shen was so angry that she trembled all over, so Sister-in-law Shen was not in the house at the time, so she ordered someone to call Cheng Xiumei, and scolded: "I handed over the Hou Mansion to you, and this is how you manage the house? What happened to Brother Gui when he fell into the water? Why didn't you tell me? I wasn't old enough yet, and you learned how to deceive others. But it was a waste of time for Brother Gui's health. If he has any shortcomings, let's see if I can spare you."
Cheng Xiumei had gotten the news a long time ago, and now that it had happened, she really wanted Shen Lijun to make a fuss.
After all, if Mrs. Shen really succeeded, Mrs. Shen could just slap her hands together and move to the Duke's Mansion to be her wife, leaving herself in a mess.
No matter what, what happened to Brother Gui happened in the Yongning Hou Mansion, and he was killed under his nose. No matter how much he said that he, the head of the Hou Mansion, didn't know about it, no one would believe it.
