Zheshu

Chapter 42
It was getting late, and Nanny Yang didn't know how to deal with the two women outside, especially now that the old lady had been alarmed.

"Could it be that the princess has gone to a private meeting with someone?" said the woman outside.

"Of course not. The concubine fell into a deep sleep and couldn't wake up. Please forgive me." Madam Yang kept looking back, but there was still no sign of Shen Qing's return.

"Then open the door!" the old lady said coldly.

Seeing this, the woman outside hurriedly added fuel and sarcasm: "I heard that the princess and the nine princes are not clear, and the nine princes have threatened to marry her several times. The princess is going down the mountain, and now she is hiding in the room and refuses to come out." , maybe it’s just a private meeting with someone. It’s said that Dayan’s folk customs are rough, and this must be the case.”

Ordinarily, under such irony, Shen Qing couldn't help it no matter what, but unexpectedly, there was still no movement in the room.

The old lady didn't stop the old woman's vicious guess at all, as if Ji Wuhuan was not from her Su Mu's mansion.

"Break the door open!" the old lady ordered directly.

The woman looked happy, threw the candied haws on the ground, and kicked over with all her strength, but before she could get there, the door was pulled open from the inside, and her feet were also slapped. He kicked up hard, then took a single step, and fell hard and embarrassingly on the threshold, with an 'ow' in pain, he fell to the ground holding back his pale face.

The old lady raised her eyes and looked at Shen Qing who appeared at the door. Before she could ask any questions, she saw Shen Qing angrily said: "I just want to hear how many vicious words you poisonous servants can say. No matter how bad Dayan is, , I’m married now, and I’m a prince’s man, so if you slander me like this, you’re slandering the prince, what kind of heart are you hiding!”

Every word Shen Qing said seemed to be defending Ji Wuhuan.

The old lady opened her mouth and asked, "Is that why you haven't opened the door for so long?"

As soon as she finished asking, Shen Qing's eyes were filled with tears, and she cried out in a sobbing voice: "Grandmother, granddaughter-in-law is really angry. After half a month of marriage in Sumu's mansion, what she sees and hears every day is what these servants say to her." The slanderous words of me and the prince. Anyway, the prince is fighting with his life to protect his family and the country. Why did he go home and end up like this instead?"

When everyone heard the words, there was a lot of discussion.Ji Wuhuan has meritorious service, which is recognized by everyone, but he usually looks cold and bloodthirsty, who would have thought that he was actually the one being bullied?Everyone was dissatisfied immediately.

"Why is this so? If it weren't for King Huainan, our Great Wei wouldn't be at peace." Someone couldn't help but uttered.

Someone took the lead, and the people below also whispered: "That's right, I used to think that Su Mu's mansion is just a strict family style, but I didn't expect it to be so vicious. No wonder none of the young ladies in the mansion are married..."

The old lady's face became greener and greener. Looking at Shen Qing who was still crying, she tightened her teeth: "You usually look bold, but you don't expect to be like this..."

"It's a wife's responsibility to protect her husband, and a grandson's daughter-in-law cannot be called 'virtuous. It's too vicious, my daughter-in-law offended the Bodhisattva today, and she can't let her slander the prince again..."

The mother-in-law complained in her heart, she clearly slandered Shen Qing, she slandered the prince, but she couldn't say such a thing, she could only keep admitting her mistakes and begging for mercy.

The old lady looked at Shen Qing who would not stop punishing this woman, took a deep breath, and looked at the others: "Come on, sell this woman, and in the future, whoever dares to gossip, directly Get out of the house!"

"Thank you, grandma, for your understanding." Shen Qing wiped the corners of her eyes, and Ji Wuhuan asked her to bear it. She must have endured enough, and only sent a few wives away.

Seeing Nanny Yang standing beside her, the old lady snorted coldly: "It's getting late, let's go up the mountain first." After going up the mountain, she has her own way to deal with her.

"Yes." Shen Qing saluted respectfully, looked at the people around her, and felt ironic in her heart, three people became tigers, and people's words were terrifying, it was true.But tonight, the mountain will be very lively.

On the way up the mountain, the whole journey was silent, the old lady glanced at Shen Qing, and said coldly: "I won't ask any more questions tonight, you go back to rest first, and go to the temple to kneel by yourself tomorrow morning."

"Yes." Shen Qing responded obediently.

The old lady thought she would argue, but she did not expect to agree so lightly, she raised her hand and let her go down.

After she left, the old lady frowned, looked at the extraordinarily quiet yard, and asked, "Where are Shuang'er and her mother?"

"The eldest lady said that she would stay in front of the Bodhisattva all night. The eldest lady said she was tired early in the morning, so she went back to rest." The servant hurriedly said.

The old lady nodded wearily, without thinking too much, she just said: "Has everything been arranged for her?"

The servant raised his eyes and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, she will never run away tonight!"

When Shen Qing left the yard, Nanny Yang still had lingering fears: "Princess, you can't do this next time."

Shen Qing chuckled: "Don't worry." Next time, she will be much more proficient.

Before leaving, she only heard a strange sound, babbling, Shen Qing looked at Yang Nanny puzzledly, but Yang Nanny's hearing was not as good as Shen Qing's, and she didn't hear anything.

Seeing this, Shen Qing didn't think much about it, thinking that it was just that the servants couldn't help but eat the forbidden fruit, but when she stepped out of the courtyard, she heard a soft cry from the woman.

"Xuanyuan, take it easy..."

……

The room was pitch black, and the two of them were sweating profusely. After the incident, Yuan Shuang shyly looked at the man who was wearing clothes with his back turned to her, and said shyly, "Is this what you told me?"

The man put on his clothes, turned his head to look at the person on the bed under the hazy moonlight, raised the corners of his mouth, and quickly left from the window.

"Wait..." Yuan Shuang wanted to stop him, but his body hurt and he had to fall back on the bed.Sniffing the incense that Xuanyuanli often used on the quilt, she hugged the quilt contentedly, she was so tired that she didn't think about it, and quickly fell into a dream. In the dream, she had already put on the dragon and phoenix brocade clothes, supported the hand of the mother, and boarded the Queen's Throne...

After the man came out of Yuanshuang's room, he quickly left along a path in the back mountain. Shen Qing followed him all the way to the path, with the corners of his mouth curled up.Yuan Shuang, a silly girl, unexpectedly didn't recognize this person. Although this person was about the same size as Xuanyuanli, he was not Xuanyuanli.

Xuanyuanli is indeed so vicious and ruthless!
