Sheng Chong Concubine

Chapter 334 After years of past events, a bold house slave (6)
"What about Aunt Li and the others?" In fact, Qiu Mingyue shouldn't have asked this question. Men in this era have three wives and four concubines. Deservedly playful and affectionate.

"The eldest lady is not favored. At that time, the elder was determined to marry a second wife, and her position as the main house was in jeopardy. So not long after the eldest lady was pregnant with the eldest lady, she turned her close servant Li Wenxin on to be a concubine. Unexpectedly, the Elder Master actually dotes on this servant girl very much. At that time, the Taijun had already arranged Ziyun, the servant girl beside her, into the Elder Master's room, but the Elder Master ignored her and quickly promoted Li Wenxin as his concubine. Grace has a home."

Chen Xiang sighed again at this point, and said: "It's a pity that although Aunt Li has been favored for so many years, she has not been able to give birth to an heir for the Elder Master. The Elder Master spoiled her for a few months, but later he stopped getting close to her. She has completely become a day lily, sitting alone in the cold palace." Chen Xiang couldn't help sighing a little, as if women in this era had to rely on men and had to face their ruthless and lonely life.

Qiu Mingyue was silent, she had seen Aunt Li, she looked somewhat similar to Shen Shi.At that time, Mrs. Shen had just had a miscarriage, so she ignored the Eldest Man, and the Eldest Man must have been in great pain.His first child was aborted, and it was still the child conceived by him and his beloved woman.He was already heartbroken, but Shen Shi was so indifferent to him, he was naturally exhausted physically and mentally, and he was in pain.

At that time, Aunt Li appeared again, a woman who was somewhat similar to his sweetheart.

People are emotional animals, and men are more rational than emotional.At that time, the Eldest Master might have felt hopeless, but Aunt Li was gentle and careless, not only similar in appearance to Shen, but also similar in demeanor and personality.At that time, the elder was emotionally empty, so he subconsciously regarded Aunt Li as Shen.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the Grand Master is completely an ostrich mentality.He regarded Aunt Li as Shen Shi, fantasizing that Shen Shi had forgiven him, he was immersed in this kind of gentle dream and couldn't extricate himself.Attempting to dilute the pain in my heart in such tenderness.

As a daughter, maybe Qiu Mingyue shouldn't comment on the right and wrong of the Elder Master's behavior.As a bystander, perhaps she should not be ashamed of the elder master's self-deception.However, he was born in such an era and such a family.In fact, he did nothing wrong.

It can only be said that good fortune makes people.

Chen Xiang was silent for a while, then continued talking.

"As for Aunt Yun, she was originally given by the old matriarch as a concubine to the old man. I used to ignore her, but after Aunt Li fell out of favor, the old matriarch spoke up. Anyway, if you take one, you will accept it, and if you take two, you will accept it." If Aunt Li doesn't please him, let's give Aunt Yun a chance. No matter what, the old man must have a son. Since the old lady can't give birth, the old lady is also disappointed in the old lady, and dare not If you have threatened the Elder Master, then the burden of giving birth to the eldest son must be handed over to other people. It is not easy for the Elder Master to please the old matriarch, so he also accepted Aunt Yun."

Is this a broken can?Qiu Mingyue smiled without a smile.Perhaps this is the nature of men.No matter how much you love a woman, when betrayal has become an unchangeable fact, everything else will come naturally.But the Eldest Master is not too careless, except for accepting Aunt Zhen later, he never had a concubine's room again.

At that time, Qiu Mingrui had already been born, and the elder no longer needed to take concubines to have a son.

Qiu Mingyue frowned in thought, no matter how unethical and ethical the men of this era are, they cannot escape the revolutionary shackles of inheriting the family.She smiled and said nothing.

Chen Xiang said again: "Over the years, the Elder Master has mentioned the matter of marrying an equal wife countless times. At that time, the Fifth Young Master was also born. The Old Madam was very happy and supported the Elder Master. The power of the old man is getting bigger and bigger. If the old man insists on going his own way, both sides will suffer. The old man will not allow it."

Chen Xiang sighed again, "So many years have passed, although the Elder Master has always been fond of Mrs. Shen, the passage of time has also weakened the impulsiveness and recklessness of his youth. The old Madam gave the Elder Master a trick. Master Shen's official position has been promoted, and he is also worthy of the Elder Master in terms of status, and he has given birth to a son for the Elder Master, and the old master can ask the emperor to make decisions. At that time, the old lady has nothing to say."

"Master Shen has been an official for many years, and he is also a good official who can serve the country and the people. Two years ago, the Tonghe River in the west of Yangzhou was flooded, and the villages on both sides of the river were flooded, causing heavy casualties. Master Shen took off his official robe and bowed his condolences. For the people affected by the disaster, Mrs. Shen also opened a porridge shed to give food... Later, the disaster was over and the people lived a better life. The Elder Master wanted to take this opportunity to deliver a memorial to the emperor and move Master Shen to the court. The emperor was also very happy. It was about to agree. But the Minister of Rites at that time read Lord Shen’s book, saying that he embezzled the money allocated by the court for disaster relief. He also produced a lot of evidence, and the emperor Longyan was furious, and immediately wanted to copy Lord Shen’s house. The old man and the old man interceded to save him from death. The old man said that there was something wrong with this matter. Everyone in Yangzhou can testify to Master Shen's reputation in Yangzhou. The old man wants to investigate thoroughly. The emperor looks at the old man's face. And agreed."

Qiu Mingyue nodded, "This matter has been investigated for a year?"

Chen Xiang nodded, "The old lady doesn't seem to be very clear about these things, but she just vaguely knows that it seems that the elder was obstructed many times when he investigated the case. There was no progress in the stalemate for more than half a year. At that time, someone suddenly provided a clue. The evidence that the minister of the Ministry of Rites testified against Mr. Shen was provided by the Shen family. After Mr. Shen was imprisoned, the butler disappeared inexplicably. The elder has been looking for him, and he has not been found for half a year. , but he suddenly appeared, admitting that he secretly moved the official bank in order to get the money to treat his sick wife because of his obsession, and also explained where the money went. "

Qiu Mingyue sneered, "How dare a domestic slave embezzle the imperial government's disaster relief money? Would daddy believe such nonsense?"

Chen Xiang shook his head, "Of course the elder doesn't believe it, he was about to interrogate, but after the slave explained everything, he vomited black blood and died. He took all the crimes on himself, and the suicide note he left was simply His wife had a hard time giving birth to a dead baby, and fell ill because of the shock. He had no money to treat her. He was moved when he saw the disaster money delivered by the imperial court that day. He originally wanted to take less , but couldn't resist the temptation, so he took several hundred taels. But the official silver of the court was marked, and he used it to buy medicine for his wife, and was quickly discovered. At this time, Mr. Shen also found the disaster silver The number has changed. According to the clues provided by the pharmacy owner, the house slave was quickly caught. The house slave confessed to his crime and begged Master Shen to forgive him. Originally, if he had explained the truth earlier, Master Shen would have been able to He helped him, but he himself was obsessed with embezzling disaster money, and at that time there were also supervisors sent by the court. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Mr. Shen couldn't do favoritism, so he was imprisoned and waited for disposal. Later, I don't know why He escaped and was jealous of Mr. Shen, so he framed Mr. Shen."
