Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 360 Wives and concubines ([-])

Cao didn't want to just let Shen Yuechen's words go like this, and just sit and wait for death.

She drank a large pot of tea to fill her stomach, but she still couldn't get rid of the urgency in her heart.

The maids around her were also in a panic, everyone was in danger and didn't know what to do.

They are all people who live by the Cao family, so if the Cao family suffers, they will naturally have no good life to live. "How can Auntie still sit still? Hurry up and think of a way..."

Mrs. Cao remained silent, and her silent appearance made people anxious.

It's not that she doesn't want to think of a way, but that she has no way to think about it.

Now, besides the uncle, she doesn't know who else she can ask?Grandma turned her face faster than she turned a book, which made her heart full of annoyance.

If I had known this, I shouldn't have tried to curry favor with her like that at the beginning... even offered up my daughter like a treasure.

Mrs. Cao clenched her palms tightly, her mind spinning fast, thinking about it, her mood could not be calm for a long time.

Thinking about it, a small figure suddenly flashed before her eyes...

In addition to the uncle, she also has a daughter named Zhu Ying. If she really had to, she would have to rely on this daughter who had been brought up so hard to turn herself around...

At this moment, on the surface, Chun Ming was still instructing the gardeners to plant flowers and trees in the yard, but secretly sent someone to observe every move of Liu Shi and Wang Shi.

Chun Ming couldn't explain clearly for a moment, what did she doubt anymore, she just felt that something was wrong.

The people she sent were not familiar faces. They usually did chores in the yard and walked around without attracting attention.

In the evening, after Zhu Jintang came back, he heard Shen Yuechen mentioning Mrs. Cao, pondered for a while, and said, "She is indeed a bit difficult to deal with. However, since the matter has been decided, it's better to meet her."

He was ruthless to the Cao family, but the Cao family made contributions to the Zhu family and gave birth to a daughter for him.

Zhu Jintang didn't want Shen Yuechen to come out and be a bad guy,

Seeing that he was willing to agree, Shen Yuechen said, "The concubine will invite Aunt Cao over here."

Zhu Jintang nodded: "You don't have to be too busy, I'll go change into some comfortable clothes first."

He ran outside for a day, and he just wanted to relieve his fatigue first, and then deal with these trivial matters.

Shen Yuechen personally followed him to the clean room, wiped his back and rubbed his shoulders, a little courteous.

Seeing her like this, Zhu Jintang just shook his head and smiled, but didn't say anything.

He knew that if she didn't do anything, she would only feel uneasy.

After freshening up, Zhu Jintang felt refreshed a lot.

He was wearing a bamboo-blue brocade robe with dark patterns, and a waistband inlaid with broken jade belts. He stood with his hands behind his back, with gentle eyebrows and calm expressions. He lacked the fortitude that usually presided over the overall situation, and added a touch of sunshine.

When Mrs. Cao came, she had already prepared her emotions, and was ready to cover her face and cry when she saw Zhu Jintang's face.

When Zhu Jintang saw that Mrs. Cao came in, he didn't even care about asking for safety, so he knelt down on the ground and wiped his tears without showing the slightest disgust, he didn't even frown, he still stood there quietly, watch.

Shen Yuechen had expected that Cao would come up with these painful routines. Seeing that she was just choking in a low voice and didn't speak, she said, "Didn't Auntie say that she has something to say to the uncle? This will be crying, isn't it a waste of time?" .”

Cao couldn't remember how long she hadn't seen Zhu Jintang, at least it would have been more than a month.

During the period when Zhu Jintang was injured, she came here twice, but she didn't dare to sit too long, she just stayed in a daze for a while, seeing that he was fine, she went back with peace of mind.

Goodbye this time, Zhu Jintang seems to have recovered to his original state, but compared to before, he is a little thinner, especially his shoulders, which are a little thinner and angular.

Cao looked at Zhu Jintang tearfully, choked up and said, "Master, please help this servant."

Hearing this, Zhu Jintang only half-sighed and said, "Get up and talk first. Looking at you, I don't know if someone is bullying you."

Cao Shi bit her lower lip, stood up slowly, and said: "The concubine dare not speak ill of grandma. It's just that grandma... really can't tolerate concubines!"

Zhu Jintang didn't want to hear more about her grievances and bitterness, so he raised his eyes to look at her and said, "Whether it's Yuechen's idea or mine, it's also my idea."

Cao's body shook slightly when she heard the words. "My lord, you really want to drive the concubine out...the concubine has no one to rely on, other than the lord and sister Ying, where else can the concubine go?"

Zhu Jintang pondered: "I don't mean to drive you out, I just want to find another place for you to stay."

Cao took two steps forward, knelt down again, grabbed Zhu Jintang's cuffs with both hands, and begged, "Master, what did this concubine do wrong? To make you annoy me and hate me so much? Concubine has been keeping herself safe in the courtyard." , I think I have never done anything to be sorry to you and grandma, why don't you want me..."

Shen Yuechen was at the side, listening quietly, but did not look up at her.

Zhu Jintang withdrew his sleeves slightly, sighed again: "You have done nothing wrong, don't worry, no matter what happens in the future, someone will arrange your daily life so that you will have no worries about food and clothing."

Even if he doesn't think about the old relationship in the past, just looking at the child's face, he will arrange her properly.

No worries about food and clothing... Mrs. Cao cried a lot less when she heard these four words, but she still asked: "What about Sister Ying? What about Sister Ying? Master, maids and concubines don't want to be rich, they just want to be rich. Please watch sister Ying grow up safely, and have a good marriage in the future, please, please..."

As soon as Zhu Ying was mentioned, Zhu Jintang frowned unconsciously and said, "You don't need to worry about Ying'er's affairs, naturally her mother will take care of it."

Everyone in the Zhu family knows that Shen Yuechen regards Zhu Ying as his own, and treats her like brother Ming.

Although suspicious, she did it impeccably.

When Cao Shi heard this, her heart turned cold again. She wanted to refute but didn't know how to refute, so she looked at Shen Yuechen bitterly and then secretly swept around the room.Now, the children are not here, so she can't use her daughter as a shield.

Shen Yuechen had been prepared for a long time, she didn't intentionally let Cao Shi not see the children, but the children were too young to see the right and wrong between these adults.

Mrs. Cao became a little disheartened, and accidentally glanced at the corner of the opposite table from the corner of her eyes, and suddenly a surge of courage came forward, and she staggered forward and said: "The concubine is a member of the Zhu family, and she is a ghost of the Zhu family when she dies. Even if the concubine dies, she will not leave the uncle, sister Ying, and the Zhu family."

The last sentence, she almost screamed out.

Judging by her posture, she was about to seek death in front of Zhu Jintang.

Fortunately, the women on standby in the room were already prepared, and they both stepped forward and clamped her arms, holding her whole, not to mention hitting the corner of the table, it was difficult to even move.

Zhu Jintang was a little displeased and said, "Nonsense! Who are you going to show me?"

Seeing that the action was unsuccessful, Mrs. Cao cried again: "If the uncle wants to let the concubine leave, he will cut off the concubine's hope and the concubine's life! If the concubine does not leave, she will not leave even if she dies."

One cry, two make trouble and three hang himself.This is a typical bridge in farce.

Shen Yuechen had foreseen it a long time ago, but she didn't expect Cao's to play tricks, and the movement was really not small.

Cao's voice is not low at all, and now he will burst into tears, even the servant standing outside the gate of the courtyard can hear clearly.

Shen Yuechen's ears were disturbed by her crying, so she had to say: "Mother Wu, take her down first. Let's talk about this after she turns around and calms down."

Wu Ma nodded when she heard the words, and quickly signaled the women to send her out.

Cao's heart was crying, and she simply ignored the usual rules and etiquette, and yelled directly at Shen Yuechen: "The hypocritical villain, who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge, is like a Buddha and a snake, I should have given Sister Ying to her in the first place. you!"

Hearing this, Shen Yuechen twitched her brows slightly, and suddenly raised her hand to signal the ladies to stop.

Mrs. Cao stood at the door, staring at Shen Yuechen with eyes red from crying, the hatred in her eyes was as thick as blood.

Shen Yuechen unhurriedly took out a handkerchief, wiped her tears unexpectedly, and said, "For Sister Ying's sake, I don't care about what you said just now. But, Mrs. Cao, you have to understand, Sister Ying Although she was born by you, she will always be my child."

Concubine and aunt, one is the master and the other is a slave, they are originally different.

Wu Ma also stepped forward, and said coldly to Mrs. Cao: "Auntie is sad, but you have to use some brains to speak. From the moment she was born, Sister Ying has been the child of the uncle and the grandmother. It doesn't matter any more."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Cao burst into tears again, opened her mouth, and wanted to speak, but couldn't utter a word.

The wives hurriedly took her out, not wanting her to talk nonsense and make the masters angry.

Zhu Jintang had already sat down now, looked at Shen Yuechen's back, and muttered: "Don't let her see Sister Ying again for now, lest she say something she shouldn't say in front of the child."

Shen Yuechen nodded: "Master, don't worry, I have my own measure."

It was night, and Chun Ming, who hadn't seen anyone all night, came back and said that all the flowers and plants in the yard had been planted.

Shen Yuechen glanced at her, and asked lightly: "It's just a trivial matter, why did it take so long?"

Chunming heard the words, looked up and looked around, saw that the uncle was not there, took a step forward, and said in a low voice: "Miss, the servant is not lazy, the servant went to check something."

"what's up?"

Chunming hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's about Aunt Liu and Aunt Wang..."

Shen Yuechen saw that she was hesitating with himself, and said, "Don't be tricky, talk quickly if you have something to say."

Chun Ming bowed her head: "This... this is something I can't say. But before explaining, the servant asked the young lady to be the master, and asked the servant to take someone to search the rooms of the two aunts. If we have evidence, it will be easier for slaves to talk about it."

Whether this matter is big or small, before there is conclusive evidence, no one can be wronged casually.
