Ruanjiaobao was forced to marry by Lord Hou again

Chapter 134 Ancestral Hall
Shen Pan'er frowned, and looked at Shen Ci hesitantly, and saw that he was staring at Ye Lingwu intently, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, like a peacock spreading its tail.

"Does the second elder brother like sister Lingwu?" Shen Pan'er muttered in a low voice, probably because she was still drunk, she accidentally said what was in her heart.

Ye Lingwu's writing movement stopped stiffly, and Rong Xiuyan nearly knocked over the ink when she was working on it. The master and servant looked at each other without saying a word.

Only Shen Ci's face was not red and his heart was not beating, and he replied indifferently: "How do you know?"

Shen Pan'er widened her eyes suddenly, and said, "Really?"

Shen Ci gave her a "fussy" look, turned around and continued to look at Shen Ao's portrait "introspective".

Ye Lingwu was about to quibble about something, when Mother Yu brought the envoy again, and she also took some wound medicines in her hands, which were not applied externally, after all, she was still in the ancestral hall, so she could only use some medicines taken internally to calm Shen Pan'er. pain.

The topic ended, but Ye Lingwu was still feeling uneasy. If Shen Pan'er knew about it, it meant that Mrs. Zhao would know about it soon.

Mrs. Zhao likes Cheng Guyuan so much, will she stop treating her like her own girl?Would he misunderstand and think that he was the one who teased Shen Ci first?

Ye Lingwu's hand holding the brush was gradually stressed, and the fingertips touching the brush were so tight that they turned white.

"……girl?"

Rongxiu's soft voice suddenly came to her ear, and Ye Lingwu was relieved as if she had just woken up from a big dream. The thoughts in her heart just now were poured like a bucket of cold water, which made her body tremble from the cold, and her hands felt Powerless, the brush poked straight on the white paper, and the ink was soaked black.

"Oh, Miss Lingwu, this is almost a full page, why did the ink ruin it!"

It's a pity that Yu's mother was the first to speak out, even Rongxiu, who was watching her, didn't speak, she just silently put away the brush, and moved the copied paper away.

Shen Ci searched for the sound, frowned, and reckoned that if the girl was startled by his words, then the reflex arc was really long enough, how long did it take to react?

"It's okay, Mom, just write again." Ye Lingwu smiled back at her, then picked up the brush, changed a piece of paper, and buried her head to continue copying.

By the time the ten copies were finished, it was almost noon.

After Shen Chongwen came back from discussing important matters in the palace, he heard that his son and daughter were punished to go to the ancestral hall, and the daughter was served by the family law. Shen Chongwen was so anxious that he couldn't wait to change his official uniform. And took two steps and ran to the ancestral hall.

"My baby girl!"

Everyone in the hall heard the sound and turned their heads to look at the door, only to see Shen Chongwen stumbling in with a red official uniform in one hand.

Shen Pan'er, who had finally calmed down, heard Shen Chongwen's voice, and burst into tears: "Father, why did you come back, your precious girl is almost crippled! Woooooo, my butt hurts, mother Let the maidservant beat me!"

"..." Shen Ci squeezed the center of his brows: The tired father and daughter are here again.

"..." Ye Lingwu stopped writing, and took a sneaky look: Baby girl?This title is really a father-daughter affection.

"..." Yu's mother didn't change her face, she was used to it.

"Pan'er, be good, don't cry, oh, my poor baby girl, tell me how your mother managed to do it, and when you go back to the house, your father will ask the maid to go to your big brother's south courtyard to get some good wounds." Don’t worry, your injuries will heal within three days.”

Said, Shen Chongwen faintly smelled a smell of alcohol, squatted down along the smell, looked at Shen Pan'er and asked: "Baby girl, why do you smell so much of alcohol?"

Shen Pan'er cried for a moment, and then cried louder, heart-piercing, almost howling, as if the roof of the ancestral hall was about to be lifted.

Hearing her cry like this, Shen Chongwen's heart was broken, he hugged Shen Pan'er and comforted him: "Don't cry, don't cry, your mother is really serious, how can you use family law on your daughter and let the maidservant execute the sentence! "

Everyone was silent.

Although Shen Chongwen is a civil servant, but he inherited Shen Ao's burly and tall, plus his status as the second master of the Hou family, it is really funny to cry with Shen Pan'er in the ancestral hall at this moment.

Probably couldn't stand it any longer, Shen Ci said with disgust on his face: "I said if you father and daughter are going to cry, can you go back to the house and cry, the ears hurt so much, I don't think it will make people laugh. Father will really feel sorry, Hurry up and say something nice to my mother, and ask her to spare us, it's already noon and the food is gone."

After finishing speaking, he complained secretly: "I never saw you feel so distressed when you used family law to me before."

Regardless of reprimanding Shen Ci for his disrespectful words, Shen Chongwen gently wiped Shen Pan'er's nose and tears with his official uniform, and said, "Baby girl, haven't you eaten yet?"

Shen Pan'er cried and nodded, and replied: "I didn't even eat breakfast, so I was beaten and punished by my mother."

"How can this be done? Father, just go to your mother and talk about it! It's just outrageous. How can a mother punish her daughter like this? I really don't know what it means." Shen Chongwen walked out the door as he spoke, with a menacing pace. .Mother Yu followed closely with the maid.

As soon as Shen Chongwen left, Shen Pan'er stopped crying, rubbed her small face back and forth on her sleeve, and waited for the good news in a leisurely manner.

Ye Lingwu on the side hadn't written any more since Shen Chongwen entered the ancestral hall, and seeing him feel sorry for Shen Pan'er's injury and crying with Shen Pan'er, she felt even more envious. Love.

"Girl, I have to copy this book quickly, and I can go back to the yard when I finish copying, how uncomfortable it is to kneel." Rongxiu reminded in a low voice.

After she reminded her like this, Ye Lingwu realized that Mrs. Shen hadn't figured out how to make an excuse.

Not long after, Shen Chongwen coaxed Mrs. Zhao to come to the ancestral hall.

Shen Chongwen, who had previously promised to fight hard in front of his daughter, now looks downcast by Zhao Shi's side. He is obviously an old couple, and Shen Chongwen insisted on holding Zhao Shi's hand, but Zhao Shi refused. After all, in addition to the ancestors watching in the ancestral hall, the children are also there.

The husband and wife sang together, and reprimanded the three of them, one hard and the other soft, and they didn't let them go until the afternoon.

Jinghetang.

The small pond in the yard is full of lotus flowers. It is hot in the afternoon, but it is cooler in the house.

In a gilded copper incense burner, incense ingots to repel mosquitoes were lit, and on the table were jujube cakes, yam cakes, and frosted millet cakes, which were specially ordered by Mrs. food.

Ye Ling was sitting on the soft couch in a foggy state, looking silly, and Mother Xuan and Rongxiu carefully applied a layer of ointment to remove bruises on her knees.

Old Mrs. Shen sat on the Hu bed, looked at Wu Qing on her knees, and said softly: "You are a brave girl, but you have always done your duty. Why can't you figure out how to mess around with Shen Pan'er last night?"

Ye Lingwu looked gloomy, and said silently: "Old lady..."

"I don't listen to lies." Mrs. Shen interrupted, seeing the girl's thoughts at a glance.

Ye Ling choked in mist.

Mrs. Shen slowly twirled the beads, and whispered: "Last night was Brother Rong's wedding banquet. I saw that her complexion was not good in the morning. It seems that Pan'er and Brother Rong are also childhood sweethearts. The relationship may not be deep but It's not shallow, so it's related to Brother Rong?"

Ye Lingwu suddenly widened her eyes and replied, "The old lady understands."

Old Mrs. Shen gave a rather bitter chuckle, and sighed: "Pan'er, that girl was treasured by your second uncle since she was a child. She has no heart at all, and she doesn't know how to judge people. My wife doesn't comment on Brother Rong. After all, my own second grandson is not much better."

"Speaking of which, Mrs. Zhao has to worry about Jing Yan's marriage. I think the girl from Cheng's family is fine. I invite her to be a guest at the house in a few days. It would be good for the two of us to see each other more." Mrs. Shen frowned. Eyebrows.

Ye Lingwu lowered her eyes slowly and did not speak.

At this time, Mother Xuan, who had given the medicine, put away the medicine bottle, and teased: "It is said that the hearts of parents in the world are pitiful. If you want this old slave to tell you, it is even more worrying for a grandmother. The old lady worried about Miss Lanshu a few days ago." I have clearly said that I will not get involved in the troublesome things of these juniors in the future."

Mrs. Shen frowned when she heard the words, snorted, and said: "I don't worry about it, but at the banquet yesterday, I saw Mrs. Zhao pulling Mrs. Zhang and the Cheng family girl to greet each other. I saw them talking speculatively. Jing Yan has known each other since she was a child, so I think it will be a matter of time."

Mother Xuan laughed and said, "Old servant may not be sure."

Everyone looked at her suspiciously.

Mother Xuan explained: "This girl from the Cheng family is too male-like in temperament. She wants to fight against the stubborn temper of the second brother. If she really wants to get married in the future, this inner house must not be disturbed."

The old lady Shen was silent, but in a blink of an eye she saw Ye Lingwu silently putting down the skirt that had been raised on her thigh, unconsciously rubbing the wrist of her right wrist with her left hand, and said, "Your second aunt punished you to copy women's training for your sake. Remember the four words of being cautious in your words and deeds. I never care about my daughter-in-law's education of my children. Besides, your second aunt never easily punished you. The news spread that you were drunk in a restaurant last night. Do you want the face of Ningbei Houfu? gone?"

Although it was a reproach, the tone was a little pampering.

Ye Lingwu smiled calmly and said, "Old lady, I understand. In fact, I am quite happy that my second aunt can punish me. Since I was a child, no one has punished me except my mother."

"You can think of your second aunt that way, and I'm glad to know." Old Mrs. Shen nodded, picked up the herbal tea on the desk and drank it.

As soon as the words were finished, Tan Chun hurriedly came in from the house, nodded in a panic and said: "The old lady is not well, I just heard the news from the servant in the outer courtyard... The empress dowager died."

The room was instantly quiet.

The hot wind that blows into the flower window is followed by a hint of coolness.

Although Mrs. Shen had expected it long ago, she was still shocked. After she realized it, she forced herself to calm down and said, "When did it happen?"

Tanchun pursed his lips and replied, "A quarter of an hour ago."
