Chapter 84 The Newlywed Adventure (3)
"Mother, where is Northwest?" The youngest son in his arms asked, sobbing.Even though he was young, he knew that he would be sent to the northwest to suffer.Northwest, what kind of place is that?

Shen He looked at his younger son's pink and tender face, and was about to go crazy.If such a child reaches the Northwest, where is there any way out?A child born in a honeypot.

A slender figure walked over sullenly.The two sons in Shen He's arms called out "Daddy" as if seeing him as a savior.The man knelt down slowly, smiled wryly, and took the two children over.

"I'll send you to the northwest, and after you settle down, I'll come back." Shen He's husband-in-law, Ye Zhisheng, the concubine son of Marquis of Anyang, said briefly.

Shen He's heart sank little by little, and he asked angrily, "Who said that the palace originally had this intention, and we just need to add fuel to the flames? Who said it himself, the credit is solid, don't let it go for nothing?"

Ye Zhisheng patted the two crying sons lightly, and said coldly: "Who told you the inside story of Duke Ningguo's mansion? Who told you that Qi Qingque's temperament is upright, and this kind of person is the easiest to deal with?"

"I believed in the wrong person, and you also believed in the wrong person. We were all wrong. You wanted to avenge the Shen family, and I, a bastard with no achievements, wanted to get ahead. We rushed to make a move, but you were killed. I was exiled to the bitter cold in the northwest, I lost my lovely wife and son, and we all suffered a crushing defeat."

Shen He gritted her teeth, "I don't regret my death, what's wrong with the children? Husband, if you still think about the relationship between husband and wife, let me meet Princess Jin. I bumped my head to death in front of her and begged her to let the two children go. "

Ye Zhisheng looked at the disheveled, pale and haggard Shen He, and couldn't bear it, "Why bother?" Even though he said so, he hugged the child in his arms even tighter.

Holding his two sons in his arms, Ye Zhisheng watched Shen He get into the carriage.

Shen He sat on the carriage and laughed desolately.

When he arrived at Prince Jin's Mansion, Shen He saw Princess Jin without much effort.

"Tell me, who is that person behind you." Qing Que stood on the steps, looking down at Shen He.

Shen He didn't expect her to be so straightforward, she raised her head in surprise, her face turned pale.

Shen He hesitated for a long time, and said in a trembling voice: "How do I know what men do outside? I am just a housewife. I will do what my father-in-law and husband-in-law say, and I dare not disobey."

Qing Que said calmly, "If you don't say anything, you can leave."

Shen He became cruel and kowtowed repeatedly, "Princess, I don't regret my death, please spare my son! They are still children and don't understand anything!"

"It's too late for you to say that." Qingque said slowly: "Before you write to Ningshou Palace, you should entrust your two sons to someone worthy of your trust and take them to a safe place, you understand?"

Shen He suddenly raised his head, facing Qing Que's mocking eyes.

"Princess, I have something to tell." Shen He couldn't beg for mercy, and wanted to tell the secret instead, "I was provoked to offend the concubine! Shen Mo, the elder sister of my natal family, said..."

"I know if you don't tell me." Qing Que interrupted her, "I don't need to mention these, I have my own reasons. I just want to know, who is that person in the palace?"

Shen He was able to hand over the memorial to Ningshou Palace, but she couldn't do it without the permission of Anyang Hou and his son.If the father and son of Anyanghou didn't get any benefits, how could they make such a rash move?There must be someone behind it.

Shen He looked up at Qing Que bitterly, and suddenly slammed into the nearby stone wall!Qi Qingque, you are the concubine of Jin, you are powerful, will you be safe if you force someone to die?
"Courageous." Qingque tsk-tsk.Shen Fu's daughter was able to die generously, she was amazed, amazed.

There was no need for Qing Que to do anything, the guards had already swiftly rushed over and pinned down Shen He.Shen He struggled desperately, with grief and indignation in his heart, why, he couldn't even die.

"Send it back to the Marquis of Anyang's Mansion." Princess Jin on the steps ordered crisply, "If she really wants to die, go back to Ye's house and die, and don't dirty the land of my Prince Jin's Mansion."

Shen He was carried out by the guards like a sack, stuffed into a carriage, and sent back to the Anyang Marquis Mansion.Shen He was full of unwillingness, but she was tied up firmly, unable to break free, unable to move, even her mouth was blocked, unable to yell out.

Thinking of the trembling life of a concubine, the beautiful scenery after her first marriage, and all the embarrassments she encountered after the Shen family fell, Shen He was unbearably sad, and tears flowed wantonly all over her face.She thought this was an opportunity to avenge the Shen family, reverse the case for the Shen family, and allow herself, the daughter of a criminal minister, to stand upright again, but who knew that she would end up in such a disastrous defeat.

"Is it interesting to come here to seek death in front of the concubine?" Cold questioning voices came from the palace guards.The Marquis of Anyang didn't know who was there to receive them, and they apologized repeatedly, being very humble.Shen He sat in the car numbly, his whole life was gone.

After an unknown amount of time, Ye Zhisheng got into the carriage with the two children in his arms, and with a sullen face, he ordered the driver, "Get out of the city!" The two children saw that Shen He was tightly bound and their mouths were gagged, and they cried loudly in fright. .While coaxing the child in annoyance, Ye Zhisheng casually removed the cloth from Shen He's mouth, and untied her again.

When Shen He was able to move his hands and feet gradually, the two children also stopped crying.Ye Zhisheng and Shen He were holding a child each, relatively speechless.

"All your dowry has been sold." After a long time, Ye Zhisheng reluctantly opened his mouth, "I have bank notes and cash, and I take them all with me, so I can use them when I go to the northwest."

"Why should I go to the northwest." Shen He held back for a long time, angrily said, "I'm not exiled! It's just that your family divorced me, and I have a dowry, so I can live with my two sons!"

Ye Zhisheng had no choice but to say, "Both parents said that since they married you from the Shen family, now that you are divorced, you must be sent back to the Shen family in order to let go of the relationship." Seeing that Shen He still had a dark face, he sighed: "Not only are you going to the northwest, but I don't want to make this trip too? Accept your fate, we made a mistake, we can't stay in the capital, it's better to avoid it."

Shen He's heart moved, and he looked at Ye Zhisheng tentatively, "You want to avoid it too?" Ye Zhisheng smiled bitterly, "Father always thought that if you divorced, this matter would be wiped out, and everyone will be happy afterwards. In my opinion, it is not so cheap , King Jin will not give up, there will be more unlucky times for the Anyang Marquis Mansion in the future. Sigh, let's hide, let's talk after this limelight."

After leaving the city, the sky became darker and darker, and the roads became more and more desolate.Looking up, the twilight is heavy, which makes people suddenly feel at a loss of "how much the future should be, and where the mooring is unknown".The carriage continued to move forward, as if it was about to enter the eternal darkness, and endless desolation spread in the bottom of my heart...

Ning Guogong was sent to Dali Prison for three days, and Ning Guogong's mansion was in a state of panic for three days.On the fourth day, the Xun family finally couldn't resist Deng Qi, Deng Lin, Deng Tianlu, and Deng Wuxie's grandsons. They agreed to submit a letter of apology, admitting that they talked nonsense in front of the empress dowager, and asked themselves to become a monk. to atone for sin.

On the day when I sent Xunshi to become a monk at Longquan Temple, Xunshi cried like hell along the way, and Deng Hui also shed a lot of tears along the way.As for the rest of the people, whether they are daughter-in-law, grandson-in-law, or grandson and great-grandson, they are generally more relaxed and less genuinely sad.

They could do without the Xun family, but they couldn't do without Ning Guogong.

On the way back to the city from Longquan Temple, Deng Hui began to threaten, "Qi'er, go to the Jin Palace!" My mother has become a monk, isn't your daughter satisfied?Hurry up and put my dad back.

"What's the rush?" Deng Qi said slowly, "There is one more. Shen Mo hasn't been dealt with yet. Father, how did Shen He know the inside story of the Deng family? No shame to talk to Niuniu."

Deng Hui hesitated, "Divorce?" Mrs. Sun frowned, "She is worthless if she divorces, she has lost her morals, so forgive her for having nothing to say. But what about Brother Han, it's Qier's The eldest son. Divorce his mother and let him take charge of the entire Deng family in the future."

"Then, lock it up?" Deng Hui didn't know what to do.

Deng Qi shook his head, "If it is closed, it can be released again, who would believe it." Deng Hui was a little embarrassed, Madam Sun thought about it, but she didn't think of a good idea.

"How about I go tell Niu Niu that Shen Mo will do as she pleases?" Deng Qi pondered.

"I think it will work." Deng Hui nodded repeatedly.

Mrs. Sun sighed softly, "That's fine."

When Deng Qi arrived at the Prince Jin's mansion, he was invited to a side hall for tea.Pekoe silver needles are soaked in the delicate and crystal clear porcelain cup, and the whole tea bud is covered with pekoe, wrapped in plain silver, which is pleasing to the eye.Take a sip slowly, only to feel the aroma is fresh, mellow and refreshing, which is really a good taste.

After slowly drinking a cup of tea, King Jin and Princess Jin didn't come out to greet him.Deng Qi beckoned and called the maid, "Is the princess not in the mansion?" The maid laughed, "Master Deng, please wait a moment, the princess will be here soon." Deng Qi had no choice but to continue drinking tea.

Deng Qi and others lost their temper, and Jin Wang and Jin Wangfei came side by side with smiles.Deng Qi was anxious to wait, but seeing Niu Niu's complexion is very good, her small face is clean and moist, and he felt happy again.

Qing Que smiled mischievously, "We were just busy with a serious matter, so you have been waiting for a long time." Jin Wang's face froze, "Well, we are here to appreciate paintings, famous paintings, night banquets and mountain dwellings."

It's great for newlyweds to appreciate famous paintings together!Deng Qi smiled, shouldn't the young couple be like this, reciting poems and painting together, elegant and interesting.

After dismissing the maids and servants, Deng Qi said in a low voice, "Niuniu, my grandmother has become a monk, and she will never return to the world. No one can disturb her, and no one can harm her. As for Shen Mo, let her You deal with it."

A trace of displeasure flashed in King Jin's deep and handsome eyes.Let Qingque handle it?Deng Qi, I dare say you are not decisive at all, and you have created a problem for Niu Niu.What can Niuniu do to Shen Mo?Can you kill me, are you willing?

Qing Que smiled at Mimi, "You must not let me be the master. If you let me be the master, I will directly chop it down with a big knife, leaving no way out! But I know, you will not let me do it."

Deng Qi was startled, "Niu Niu, I don't feel pity for her. I also want to kill her with one knife, and it will be over once and for all, but..."

"I know." Qing Que said understandingly: "You looked at Deng Zhiping and Deng Zhihan, and couldn't bear to kill their biological mother with your own hands."

Deng Qi lowered his head in embarrassment.

There were layers of pink on King Jin's jade-like cheeks. Qing Que knew that he was angry, and quietly reached out to pat him, "Hey, don't worry." King Jin was sullen, grabbed her little hand and gently pecked her. down.

Deng Qi said embarrassingly: "If I really end up with her, what will Sister Ping and Brother Han do? It's very embarrassing."

Qing Que poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to him, looked at him with a smile, "If you let me make the decision, Shen Mo will die. If you don't want to make things difficult, I will teach you to be good: let Deng Zhiping and Deng Zhihan make the decisions. Shen Mo Mo is the mother of the two of them, so it's only fair for them to come to judge."

Why, Deng Qi is in a difficult situation here, he can't kill him, he can't let him go, it's not appropriate to do anything.But Deng Zhiping and Deng Zhihan can hide behind their elders and enjoy their success.

The Deng family is worried about them, and they are the ones who feel sorry for them. In this case, Shen Mo's fate is up to them to decide.They are not young anymore, and when it is time to take responsibility, they must be brave enough to take responsibility.

"Zhiping and Zhihan?" Deng Qi held the hot teacup in a daze, "Is it appropriate for them to adjudicate?"

Qingque smiled, "Sooner or later, your family will be handed over to Deng Zhihan, right? If Deng Zhihan doesn't take responsibility, the Deng family will surely fall."

Deng Zhihan is no longer a child this year.He is the future head of the Deng family. Tell him everything Shen Mo has done, and let him decide how to judge.

Deng Qi was stunned for a long time, and said resolutely: "Niuniu is right, the Deng family will be handed over to Brother Han sooner or later. If he is confused and ignorant, it will not work! Let Brother Han decide, let him take Show the courage of the future Patriarch of the Deng family, and properly deal with his own mother."

"Then, my grandfather..." Deng Qi asked shyly.

Qingque smiled, and stretched out her hand to push King Jin.King Jin pouted at her, and reluctantly agreed, "I will enter the palace tomorrow." Deng Qi was overjoyed after hearing his words.Grandfather, your old man will see the light of day soon!

Deng Qi laughed for a while, then suddenly remembered an important matter, "Send a letter to Brother Han quickly, and let him come back as soon as possible." King Jin didn't know whether he couldn't bear to hear it, or couldn't bear to see it, he turned his head to look at the corner of the hall, his eyes were lost.Qingque smiled, "Someone in your family must have sent a letter to Deng Zhihan, you can just wait for him to come back." Deng Qi blushed and lowered his head to drink tea.That's right, can Shen Mo not send the letter out?Brother Han is her biggest support.

"Niuniu, I don't like your father." King Jin said sullenly as he sent Deng Qi away.

What kind of father is that at Niu Niu's booth, it will make Niu Niu wronged!
"My father still loves me very much." Qingque smiled, "It's fine to have a father, I don't pick good or bad."

Poor girl.King Jin was heartbroken and took his wife into his arms.Qing Que muttered in a low voice, "It's better to have a father than no father, right?" King Jin nodded sadly thinking of the late Emperor who died young.

The next day, King Jin went to the palace to ask the emperor to intercede for Duke Ning.

The emperor personally summoned Ning Guogong and reprimanded him, "Qinggui is a first-rank official, can't even the Qi family do it? The housework is so chaotic, how is it proper!" .”

Ning Guogong is old and has made great contributions. After the emperor reprimanded him, he ordered his servants to help him up, and said earnestly, "If you are good at running the army, you must also be good at running the family." Ning Guogong is the only one.

At dusk, Duke Ning returned to the gate of Duke Ning's mansion on his own.Staring at his mansion, at the four gilt characters of "Duke Ningguo's Mansion" flying like dragons and phoenixes, his eyes were moist.

The listless concierge spotted Ning Guogong in front of the gate at some point, and opened the gate ecstatically, "Master Guo, your old man is back!" You can count yourself back, if you don't come back, we all want to jump into the river !

Ning Guogong rode his horse into the gate and galloped along the wide corridor.

Deng Hui and his children and grandchildren trotted all the way to greet them, with tears in their eyes, "My dear father, you are finally back! I finally look forward to seeing you back!"

Duke Ningguo rode his horse to the gate of the main courtyard, and reined in the horse with a sound of "Hoo--".In front of him, Deng Hui and a group of children and grandchildren rushed over and knelt down in front of him.

Ning Guogong looked at the group of children and grandchildren in front of him, his expression was calm, and he couldn't tell whether it was sadness or joy.Deng Hui fell to the ground and cried loudly, "Father, you have suffered!" When he cried, many people cried with him, and suddenly, the cry was loud.

Ning Guogong raised his eyebrows, flew off his horse, strode towards Deng Hui, and whipped the whip in his hand, "Man, why are you crying!" Deng Hui didn't dare to dodge, took the whip, and then took two steps forward, Hugging Ning Guogong's thigh, regardless of the three sevens and twenty ones, let out a mournful cry.

Deng Hui has been under the protection of Ning Guogong for most of his life, these few days can be regarded as the most difficult time in his life.When he saw Duke Ning, his heart felt extremely at ease, even if Duke Ning whipped him severely with a whip, he would still be happy.

Ning Guogong stood for a while with a sullen face, shook off the hopeless Deng Hui, and strode into the main courtyard.Ning Guogong ignored everyone, Deng Hui had no choice but to retreat out with his children and grandchildren in despair.Before leaving, he told Deng Qi to stay, "Your grandfather is unhappy, Qi'er, please take care of him."

Deng Qi looked up at the sky.Dare to love, you also know that grandfather is unhappy at the moment, whoever goes in will be whipped.

Ning Guogong took a bath in the tub, and Deng Qi dawdled over to rub his back, "Haven't you washed it for a few days? It's really dirty." Ning Guogong slapped the water angrily, and the water droplets splashed on Deng Qi's face, " Your grandfather and I are going to jail, how can we not be dirty?"

Deng Qi raised his hand to wipe the water from his face, and complained, "This old man has such a temper!" Ning Guogong tried to slap him back, but he quickly dodged it.

Mr. Ning Guo groaned and sat back in the tub, while Deng Qi sat by the tub and rubbed his back, and told the story of the family from beginning to end.Ning Guogong closed his eyes and listened in silence.

Deng Qi touched the water and it seemed to be a little cold, so he took another bucket of hot water and added it.The hot air was thick and the water mist filled the air. Duke Ning, who was soaked in the water, was in a daze.

Deng Qi thought Duke Ning was asleep, but he suddenly opened his eyes and sighed quietly, "Niuniu is a child of our family after all, she is easy to talk, but King Jin is not."
