Chapter 277 Fortune and Misfortune
Gongsun Lan frowned, why did Xin Niang speak so strangely today?Is there a meaning in the words?

"Xin Niang, you and I are not outsiders, if you have something to say, just say it straight, sometimes I can't understand the twists and turns."

Dan Xin listened anxiously, didn't the lady understand enough?She understood everything, how could the shrewd Mrs. Gongsun not understand?
"General Gongsun is not too young now. There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and having no descendants is the greatest. Hasn't General Gongsun considered lifelong affairs?" Shen Xiniang sighed softly, and could not speak more bluntly.

When Gongsun Lan heard this, she became more and more confused. She looked at Shen Xinniang ignorantly, and nodded, "I used to be young and ignorant, which delayed my brother's good deeds. Now that I have grown up, my brother is not afraid I'm in a hurry, and I've tried to persuade him, but he always said that since it's been delayed so far, we can't just make do with it, and we have to meet someone who suits his wishes."

Shen Xinniang nodded, "Oh, as long as it suits you?"

"Yes, brother said, he doesn't care about his status or status. Anyway, he doesn't have Gaotang to suppress him, and the clan can't control him. He always wants to follow his own way. Let me not persuade you Him." Gongsun Lan curled her lips, "The last time he was going to see off Fourth Lady, I still felt..."

When Gongsun Lan said this, she suddenly raised her head and looked at Shen Xinniang. In an instant, she understood everything.

"Xin Niang!" She screamed and leaned forward, "You mean, you mean..."

Shen Xinniang looked up at her, "What did you say?"

"You mean, my brother misunderstood that Fourth Lady is King Qi's concubine?" Gongsun Lan suddenly realized, "That's how it is! No wonder I said that last time he took the initiative to send Fourth Lady back to the mansion. The lady seemed caring, so why didn't I hear him mention it again. A few days ago, he rescued the fourth lady and came back. On the way back, he also said some inexplicable words that King Qi doesn't value love and righteousness! The original reason is that Here! My silly brother!"

After Gongsun Lan finished speaking, she covered her mouth and began to giggle, "Don't worry, Xin Niang, this matchmaker, I will do it! I like Si Niangzi, and I hope that my brother will not delay any longer, and I hope to see my brother happy and happy. Son, wrap it on me!"

Shen Xinniang also smiled and nodded when she heard the words, "Don't force it, it's better if we agree with each other. Si Niang has been living in the palace, and I feel a little uncomfortable, but the Shen family..."

"I know," Gongsun Lan nodded again and again, "It's not that I said that the Shen family is not good. The Shen family can raise a girl like Shen Wuniang, which shows that her mother's manners are not good! The Shen family is not a good place either! You have your father's children, It’s not as good as a child like me who has no father and no mother! I’ve suffered so much for you!”

"Even so, Shen Siniang can't marry from the palace. If General Gongsun wants to, she still has to go back to Shen's house." Shen Xiniang said slowly.What she meant was that when you get married, you have to marry from your natal family, and being a concubine is not so particular, no matter where you go, it's just a matter of a small sedan chair.

Gongsun Lan nodded when she heard the words, "Don't worry, Xin Niang, I see and remember your friendship with me and Si Niangzi's friendship. If my brother wants to wrong Si Niangzi, I will not agree to it." , if there is a destiny, she must be my upright sister-in-law, and there is absolutely no reason to be inferior to others!"

Between Gongsun Lan's words, her expression was very solemn, without any perfunctory.

After saying a few more words, she was in a hurry and couldn't sit still, she couldn't wait to go home, so she could ask her brother's thoughts, if he wanted to, he had to prepare as soon as possible.If you don't have the heart, you don't have to worry about delaying your life.

Gongsun Lan bid farewell to Shen Xiniang, left the palace, and went straight home.

The elder brother didn't know where he went, so she immediately sent someone to find him back home.Shen Xinniang's words were already straightforward enough, but when she came to the mouth of the young lady of the military general's family, her words were even more straightforward, "Brother, I think you have a heart for the fourth lady of the Shen family, don't you?"

In a word, Gongsun Ling immediately made a big blush, "Little lady, what nonsense! You don't have to tarnish your reputation!"

"Isn't it fair for Lang to marry a concubine? How can he tarnish his reputation?" Gongsun Lan looked at her brother with a smile.

"What, what?" Gongsun Ling stared slightly, his eyes were already round and big, but when he stared like this, they were even bigger and brighter, his eyes were bright and compelling, "Who is not married?"

"Siniang Shen, she is unmarried and lives in Prince Qi's mansion. It's just that her sister is lonely, so she is asked to live in the mansion to spend more time with her, and her father is also confused. When the aunt was there before, , Dimother treated her badly, now that Dimu is gone, her life is still difficult, that's why Xinniang took her to live in the palace!"

Gongsun Lan smiled and approached her brother, "Are you happy?"

Gongsun Ling immediately said: "Why am I happy?!" But the smile on the corner of his mouth was uncontrollable and cracked to the ears.

Gongsun Lan wanted to say something, but he turned around and left muttering to himself.

"What are you going to do, brother? I haven't finished my sentence yet. If you have the heart... why are you going?" Gongsun Lan chased after her brother.

"I'm going to find a matchmaker!" Gongsun Ling looked back at Gongsun Lan, and finally couldn't hold back his laughter, "Brother is getting old too, so don't delay!"

After he finished speaking, he left without looking back.

Gongsun Lan stood on the spot and sighed softly, "You can't delay what you say now. When the matchmaker told you about the wife of the Li family half a year ago, you still said that the man's ambition is everywhere!"

After she finished speaking, she shook her head and chuckled lightly, and her heart became more and more lighthearted.

Unexpectedly, Gongsun Ling has a personality that is one-sided, Shen Siniang has not had time to return to her mother's house, but the matchmaker that Gongsun Ling found has already come to propose marriage.

Shen Shangshu scratched his ears a few times, thinking that he had heard wrongly, that General Gongsun, who was out of reach by so many families, actually asked a matchmaker to say that his family came to propose marriage?Is it still the concubine?He didn't dare to answer, and after inquiring carefully, he found out that although Shen Siniang lived in the palace, she was really not Prince Qi's concubine.And she has already parted ways with Mr. Qin's family.It has nothing to do with the Qin family.Now he is just a guest in Qi Wangfu.

Knowing the news, Shen Shangshu couldn't sit still, he wished he could lift the sedan chair eight times, and personally carry Fourth Lady Shen back.

Only when Shen Siniang was invited back to Shen's house did she know that Shen Wuniang had never been back to Shen's house since she was kidnapped. Shen Shangshu was afraid of losing face, so he didn't let anyone find her.

When Aunt An was feeling emotional with her, Shen Siniang shook her head and sighed softly, "How is father treating me well now? It is clearly because of the sake of the Gongsun family, he is just being polite to me. If he has any affection for these daughters in his heart, I will You won't be forced to think about my aunt in your heart, and still live in my sister's house until now!"

Aunt An sighed softly.

"Just look at Wu Niang and you will know. Wu Niang is my father's most beloved daughter. She has been missing for a few days. Has my father ever looked for her? Has he ever been worried? Have he ever thought about Wu Niang? He is only worried about him. I lost my daughter, or her daughter did something indecent, made him ashamed, made him lose face, and never really worried about her daughter's situation." Shen Siniang shook her head, "Even his favorite Even if Wu Niang is treated like this, what more do I expect, my aunt should stop talking about filial piety, I will do what I should do, and what I shouldn't do, it's useless for you to persuade me."

Aunt An sighed and shook her head, but in the end she didn't say any more, her daughter is already grown up, and the relationship between father and daughter, which has been cold for a long time, can still be said to be hot, so it will become hot?
Everything is fine for Shen Xiniang, and Shen Siniang is also in high spirits now.Shen Wuniang hid on the Zhuangzi outside the city, not daring to show her face.Yu Miao's life was even worse.

He hid for a few days before returning to the uncle's mansion. As soon as he entered, Yu Tai heard the news of his return and immediately asked someone to bring him to him.

Yu Tai sat with his neck crooked on the wooden chair that the butler hired a skilled craftsman to make. The chair was higher than the Hu stool, and there was a place to lean on at the back. The back and both sides were stuffed with soft mottled silk pockets, which made it very comfortable to lean on. Can support his weak body, under the chair are two big wooden wheels like carriage wheels.The boy was behind, and he could be pushed away by himself without much effort.

When Yu Miao saw her brother sitting on the chair, she froze for a moment, moved her mouth, and just uttered a sentence, "Brother seems to be in good spirits today."

After finishing speaking, he lowered his head to avoid Yu's anxious and condemning eyes.

Yu Tai's lips were squirming, and if he was a little further away, he couldn't hear what he was saying clearly.

The butler was at the side, just bowed and listened, neither answering nor opening his mouth.

Yu Tai seemed to be getting more and more anxious as he spoke, his stiff face flushed red from his shortness of breath.The butler just nodded, Yu Tai couldn't help coughing again and again, the cough was so violent that it affected his chest and heart vessels, his face became more and more red, and his cheeks looked sick.

Yu Miao finally couldn't help it, and squatted down in front of Yu Tai.

Yu Tai moved his fingers, as if he wanted to slap the younger brother, but now he couldn't do it, his whole body was so stiff that he couldn't even lift his hands.

"Hello, that's great, you want me to die... No one can force you if I die... You want me to die so much, so you just killed me with one knife... What do you want me to live in such pain? I'm not your brother...I'm your enemy...you're going to kill me...I won't force you, and you don't...torture me..."

Yu Tai struggled intermittently in Yu Miao's ear.

Yu Miao frowned, clenched her teeth, and spoke after a while, "What are you talking about, brother? Since I came back, I came back to heal my brother. If I don't want my brother to be well, I'll hide far away in the northwest." ?”

"You let go of the little lady of the Gongsun family, and you don't want to provoke Gongsun Ling... I don't blame you, Princess Qi is unwilling to hand over the antidote, why don't you kill her sister, so that she can also experience the pain of losing a loved one? Why...someone rescued Shen Siniang? I don't believe...if you are on guard, people...rescue her easily? I don't believe..."

Yu Tai's voice was full of pain and struggle, and it was full of reproach in Yu Miao's ears.

Yu Miao frowned tightly, "Brother, Shen Siniang doesn't know anything, she's just a weak woman, killing her won't help my brother's illness, it's just an innocent life..."

"Bullshit...Yu Miao, Yu Miao...how much blood have you got on your hands? How many people have you killed? Now...how are you pretending to be righteous? Don't you have the heart to kill a...weak woman? You... You want me to die..." Yu Tai's stiff face had a ferocious expression, and what he said made Yu Miao, a younger brother, feel extremely uncomfortable.

"Brother... I have killed many people, and my hands are stained with blood, but I killed for the sake of protecting the frontier, for the innocent people on the frontier, for the sake of morality, for the belief in my heart. To kill an innocent little lady, I don't bother to do it." Yu Miao said in a muffled voice, "I will save my brother, I will, I will not watch my brother suffer, and I will not stand by."
