Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 8

"I beg you, forgive me for being blinded by lard. I didn't mean to let my child go." The woman sobbed.

Seeing that the people in front of her were making a scene, Yugui stepped forward to cover Shi Niang, and then she was about to grab the woman who appeared suddenly—the side wife Li Shi.

Baoqin was as frightened as Shi Niang. While playing chess, Yu Gui supported Shi Niang who was suddenly startled and backed up to prevent her from falling.Baoqin also reacted and took Shiniang by her arms.

Shi Niang stared at the side lady who looked up at her quickly but had a shocked expression, her heart skipped a beat, she thought she was Chen Shi who had just left the room.Speaking of which, Chen Shi is only under 16 years old, not much older than Shi Niang, and Chen Shi, who is about the same age as Wu Niang, does not act like a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.

Ten Niang thought, this might be the difference between being married and not leaving the court.Now that you are married, you have to change your identity and see your situation clearly. Only in this way can you live in various dangerous environments.Chen's stature is slightly taller and plump than Shi Niang's, so it stands to reason that he would not easily admit his mistake.

But today, Shi Niang first changed into a new dress that Chen could not wear when she was a girl in Chen's room; Wherever it is, Chen is naturally there; three times, it is just after Zhengmao at this time, and the sky is not yet bright, so it is understandable to admit a mistake for a while.

Ten Niang's thoughts were fleeting, and she immediately realized that Mrs. Side was an elder after all, no matter whether she wanted to plot against Mrs. Chen or what the reason was, she actually worshiped her now.When she was about to step forward to help Shi Niang up, unexpectedly, Yu Gui, who was about to pull up the side wife, let go of her hand, and secretly stopped Shi Niang's outstretched hand.Ten Niang was suspicious in her heart, where did this song come from?
Yugui means Chen Shi, is Chen Shi going to confront Li Shi?But now Mrs. Li is not in the way of Mrs. Chen's eyes, and she looks at the new lady coldly and doesn't care about her father's favor, and she doesn't take Mrs. Li's methods seriously.So is this game a test of my own position for myself or is it a coincidence?
Ten Niang clenched her hands tightly, if she made the wrong choice, would the quiet days that had been so difficult these days disappear.Do you believe in the Chen family or do you want to face the unknown danger?In just a few breaths, Ten Niang ran countless thoughts in her mind, but she didn't dare to act rashly.Shi Niang doesn't know what it feels like to lose everything in one careless move, but she definitely doesn't want to try it.

Shi Niang could only brake quietly, without showing any eagerness on her face.When he was about to observe Yugui's expression, Li Shi had put away his momentary shock, and when he looked up, he had put on a pleading expression, and kowtowed to Shi Niang. "Miss Ten, please, please forgive me. It was my fault that I offended Miss Ten." Li Shi's good voice made her appear weak and pitiful.

Being soft and pitiful also depends on the object, Shi Niang thinks it is funny, since she is not a father, she will be soft-hearted to her.Shiniang, who wanted to see what kind of medicine Li's gourd was selling, immediately realized the viciousness of Li's move.Who would have thought that after discovering that the target of the calculation was wrong, Li Shi could immediately turn around and plead with Shi Niang with his face down.

I have to say that this woman Li Shi is also really ruthless, she is ruthless to others and she is also ruthless to herself, and she can put up with all the unbearable things with a low face.No wonder my mother is not her opponent, no matter how much I suppress her, I will end up making a wrong move.

But Shi Niang is not her own mother, so she doesn't have so many scruples.But it can't be caught by people. After all, the news of this matter will only say that Li Shi doesn't know the general idea, but to Shi Niang, it is disrespectful to the elders and harsh evaluation of his father's side wife.

If Shi Niang was found guilty of this crime, she might be ruined.How important fame is to a woman, Shi Niang secretly thought, it really is a good plan, but Li Shi can forget it, it depends on whether she is willing to be tricked by her.

Since Shi Niang accepted Li Shi's gift, she didn't intend to let her go.Shi Niang immediately bowed to the kneeling Li Shi, and said, "Madam Side, please be well. Shi Niang didn't blame Madam Side for bumping into me just now. After all, you are Shi Niang's elder, so there is no reason for Shi Niang to embarrass you for such a trivial matter. Are you persecuting Shi Niang by kneeling like this, asking for punishment? Shi Niang's small words can't dissuade Mrs. Side from asking for punishment, but Shi Niang was educated by her grandmother and mother to know the etiquette of respect and inferiority. Go ask your mother to come over and uphold justice for Shi Niang.

Wait, let's see how the mother handles it. "

Shi Niang walked around Li Shi, took Yugui and the maid, and walked straight to the dining hall.But Li Shi didn't give up, and stretched out his hand to grab Shi Niang, Yu Gui quickly grabbed Shi Niang, Li Shi only grabbed Shi Niang's clothes, seeing that Shi Niang didn't stop, Li Shi simply didn't let go He was dragged by Ten Niang to walk a few steps forward on his knees, his knees were also worn out, and the blood stained on his outer robe was very conspicuous.

He shouted, "Miss Ten, please spare me my life. Your brother has already been hated by your father because of you. I will apologize to you. Please don't disturb Madam, forgive me, and let our mother and child live." Li's voice carried A desperate despair.Shi Niang was held back by Li Shi and couldn't move forward, so she could only stand still and look at Li Shi coldly.

This is killing two birds with one stone, I hate myself for suspecting that this is a trick set by my wife.The madam will not take advantage of her own reputation when she is testing herself, she is judging the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

"Ten Niang, what's going on?" A slanted voice interjected, containing a hint of reproach.It was the Fourth Master who came, and Aunt Lu followed behind the Fourth Master.Shi Niang saluted her father respectfully, no matter what, the father was the father, so he had to be respected.

"Shi Niang greets father." Shi Niang felt that her father's gaze on her was not as intimate as usual.For this dogmatic man who studied hard, he has a stubborn insistence on various etiquette rules, but often he can't do what he asks others to do.

"Master, don't blame Miss Ten, it was me, I bumped into Miss Ten. I came here to greet Madam at this hour, and saw Miss Ten coming out of Madam's house, wearing Madam's clothes, I didn't see clearly for a while, just, just Offended Miss Ten. Miss Ten punished me and I deserved it. Don't blame Miss Ten, it hurt the relationship between father and daughter, Miss Ten is the only flesh and blood of the late wife."

Mrs. Li still had a voice so soft that she could choke out water. She seemed to be explaining and begging for mercy, but she accused Shi Niang of arbitrarily punishing her concubine, accused her first wife of being unfavorable to her goddaughter, and even indirectly put eye drops on her new wife. , implying that the new lady is harsh on herself.

"My lord, Miss Ten's obedience and filial piety can even be praised by the old lady. Don't you often say that Miss Ten is caring. I think there must be a misunderstanding between Miss Ten and Sister Li. Why don't you move to the main room and listen to Miss Ten?" Let's talk about it with Sister Li. At this moment, Madam must have finished her morning exercise and is waiting for the big guys to eat in the main room. I believe that you and Madam will be able to give justice to Miss Shi and Sister Li. Even if you don't feel sorry for Miss Ten standing in the wind and blowing the cold wind in this cold spring, please be sympathetic to Sister Li. Look, Sister Li's leg is still wounded. Master, what do you think?"

Aunt Lu, who has always been reticent in front of everyone, became a peacemaker in a soft-spoken manner.What she said was also clever, Ten Niang thought, she really underestimated Aunt Lu.Although he knew that she didn't suffer much under Li's hands after her mother left, but she didn't expect her to hold a lot of weight in his father's heart.

Dare to persuade my father when he is angry, and turn things around without offending all parties. I have to learn more about this skill.

Sure enough, the fourth master still followed her example, he first asked his wife to help Li Shi up, and then ordered someone to fetch the wound medicine.

Aunt Lu stopped the lady's servant girl who was going to get the wound medicine, and said to the Fourth Master, "Master, Sister Li accidentally broke her leg, shall we find a doctor to show her?"

The voice was not low, and the fourth master was taken aback for a moment, but the fourth madam, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard watching at some point, immediately ordered the servants, "Yugui, ask for the pulse of the side lady first, and Lianqiao immediately took the master's post." Go to Heshun Hall and ask Dr. Zhang to come home. Play the chess and piano, and help your lady go back to the Huanhuayuan, and let Dr. Zhang treat you for a while, it seems that the lady is so scared by the side lady."

The fourth lady stared at the maid in the yard, "It seems that the yard has to re-establish a rule, how come all kinds of cats and dogs can be allowed in! Today, Mrs. Fang and Miss Ten were shocked, and they will have to murder them tomorrow." Me? Today, everyone on duty in this yard went to the gate of the yard and knelt for two hours to remember better."

After the fourth madam beat her, the slaves in the courtyard dared not speak out, and they all looked at Li Shi with a vicious look.Mrs. Li saw Mrs. Chen beat and humiliated her in front of Mrs. Lu, the tenth mother, and the servants in the yard also looked like they wished to eat her raw, and passed out as expected.The mother-in-law who was supporting her didn't know whether it was by mistake or on purpose, only hearing a "bang", Li Shi hit the ground hard.Her maid, the "side madam", kept shaking her.

Yugui Ganoderma took the opportunity to step forward, pretending to be kind to Li's pulse, just as she raised Li's hand, she heard Yugui's gasp, "Ma'am, there are silver needles in the lady's fingernails." Lingzhi pressed the small needle Maid girl, Yugui pinched Li's pulse gate, took out a handkerchief and wrapped it with a silver needle.

When Li Shi suddenly opened his eyes and said angrily "You lowly maid!", Fuqi shouted "Miss, there are silver needles on the hem of Miss's skirt!"

The lady's voice stopped abruptly.The fourth master looked at the shrew-like side lady, snorted coldly, turned and left the yard where a farce was staged.

"Go back, Mrs. Shi, and Shi Niang also go back to rest, don't worry, I will take care of everything." After saluting to her stepmother and Aunt Lu, Shi Niang quickly left with her maid.

Shi Niang, who was walking through the mansion with her maid, felt a ray of sunlight shining on her. She stopped and watched the barrier fan that covered the sun move forward under the light of the morning light, and the coldness in her heart seemed to be driven away.I can't help but think to myself, "The sun will only move when the celestial palm moves." The ancients did not deceive me.
