Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 410 Huairou

The clan elder is old enough to be the maidservant's grandfather now, but he has thoughts about her. Just thinking about it, the maidservant can't help feeling sick, froze in place with fright, and dare not move.

She was a maid who was sold in and signed a death contract. If something happened at home, as the eldest sister, she would naturally have to bear the burden, but that didn't mean she had to give away her own innocence.She came to the Shen residence to be a maid, not to be a bed warmer. When the maid thought of this, her senses returned instantly, she gritted her teeth and looked at the clan elder, and pulled her palm back, "Grand Elder, thank you for your pity, but this slave is Maid, there is no pity, no pity."

The elder of the Shen family was holding her palms to take advantage, thinking how soft the body of the owner of these hands was, when he was suddenly looked at coldly and rejected by the other party, he immediately became furious and kicked her, "You bastard, you are here to speak!" share?"

Being disturbed by her like this, his previous thoughts disappeared immediately, and he entered the inner room angrily.The maid was kicked to the ground, her forehead hit the corner of the table, a hole was broken, and the blood kept dripping down. She insisted on cleaning up the broken porcelain bowls on the ground before she stood up and walked out unsteadily.

The maid who was close to her saw that she was still intact when she went in to serve the elder of the Shen family, but now she came out covered in blood, she was startled immediately, hurriedly went up to her, and supported her, "How did you become like this, how did the elder of the clan come out?" gone?"

The maid looked back at the room and lowered her voice, "Go back and get some medicine, I'll talk to you later."

Seeing her terrified look, the servant girl knew that it must not be a simple matter, so her expression immediately became dignified, and she hurriedly followed.

The maid cleaned the blood on her forehead and wrapped it in gauze herself.Seeing her like this, the maid couldn't help curling her lips, and continued with the previous question. The maid hesitated for a moment, but she still told the matter. She was also serving in the Shen family's old house. It is hard to guarantee that the Shen family will not think about her in the future. .

The servant girl was stunned after hearing what she said, her mouth was wide open, and she didn't say a word.It took a long time for her to come back to her senses, and she couldn't help but feel a little sympathy when she looked at the maidservant, and followed closely, her eyes showed deep concern.

But at this time, all the younger brothers in the mansion arrived in the house, and Shen Li waited for everyone to arrive before closing the book he was flipping through, and asked first, "You brothers, do you know why the head of the family asked you to come here?" ?”

The concubines in the mansion have always disliked him, but Shen Yue is now sitting in the position of the Patriarch of the Shen family. Even if they are unhappy in their hearts, they must come here. As for what Shen Yue asked them to come over, I thought about it for a long time , I couldn't figure it out, so I could only answer honestly, "I don't know, please ask the Patriarch to clarify."

The words on the mouth are explicit, and the family heads are shouting affectionately, but there is no respect at all on the surface, and it makes people feel angry.Shen Yue was not surprised, because if it wasn't for him, they might all have taken the position of the Patriarch of the Shen family.

Mentioning this incident, Shen Yue couldn't help but sneer twice, looking at them with contempt, but at the same time, he couldn't help being a little envious in his heart.If it wasn't for Shen's father's love and favor, they would not be able to develop such a rebellious appearance. Unfortunately, in the future, he will be in charge of Shen's residence, so naturally they cannot watch the Shen's children degenerate.

Thinking of the mess that Father Shen left her, he couldn't help having a headache, until Zhenwu who was standing beside him coughed, and then he came back to his senses, clasped his hands together, pressed against his chin, motioned for them all to sit down, Then he said solemnly: "The Shen family is now the hegemon in Liuzhou. Although it is rich, but there is no one from the imperial court standing behind it, it is always dangerous. I wonder what you guys think about cultivating the Shen family into an imperial merchant? "

"Imperial businessman?" Just hearing these words, these dandies couldn't help talking, with surprise in their eyes.

Only the concubine who was very similar in age to Shen Li sneered, "The Patriarch is too naive. There are countless merchants in this world. If anyone can contact the royal family, then there are too many royal merchants."

Seeing that someone finally paid attention to him, Shen Yue stood up enthusiastically, even though the other party's tone was not very good, and explained the reason to him.

The concubine who had spoken just now saw that he didn't mind his disrespectful attitude at all, and couldn't help being surprised. At this moment, the butler came in and whispered something in front of Shen Yue. curious.

Shen Yue didn't care that he was eavesdropping, but when he heard the butler's report, his face became more and more ugly. After hearing what the butler said, Shen Yue couldn't help but take a deep breath, and immediately told them to go back first, and then got up after seeing that they had all left Go to the elders.

In the capital city, in Yue Jing'an Palace, seeing Xia Shengqing standing in front of her without arrogance or humility, without the slightest bit of consciousness to admit her mistakes, she was so angry that her heart trembled again, wishing she could strangle this son to death.

Seeing Xia Shengqing's reluctance, the nanny couldn't help persuading, "Your Highness, your mother is doing it for your own good. If you are so devoted to Princess Mingzhu, if she finds out your true identity in the future, Princess Mingzhu Could it be because you have shown mercy to her these days?"

Seeing that she was aggressive, Xia Shengqing couldn't help being startled. Just as she was about to talk, she thought of Xia Zijin's stubborn temper, her mouth moved, but she couldn't speak, and her expression was gloomy.Seeing that the persuasion was effective, Mammy quickly took a look at Yue Jing'an.

Yue Jing'an immediately understood, tried her best to restrain her anger, and acted as if she was thinking of him, "Sheng Qing, if you really don't want to return to the country, the mother and concubine will not force you, but with your status, if you To be exposed is the crime of deceiving the emperor, and it is a capital crime, then what will you ask the mother and concubine to do?"

Yue Jing'an spoke decisively and earnestly, and she looked like a loving mother who cared about her son. Xia Shengqing was stabbed in the heart by her words, and subconsciously clenched the palms hanging in the sleeves, his throat was very dry. After a long time, he Raising her head again, she said stubbornly, "Concubine Lian is too worried. If such a situation really happens in the future, I will naturally let Princess Mingzhu handle it."

After saying these words, Xia Shengqing felt relaxed all over. Yue Jingan didn't expect that he was still obsessed when he said this. He patted the armrest of the chair angrily, shouted three times, grabbed the cup and said yes He smashed it under his feet.

Seeing that in the end, the quarrel between the two of them was still like this, Mammy couldn't help showing anxiety in her eyes, she wanted to persuade her, but her throat seemed to be stuffed with cotton, she couldn't say anything, she turned around anxiously.

Xia Shengqing was not surprised by Yue Jingan's attitude at all. Seeing her like this, Xia Shengqing breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't believe what Yue Jingan said earlier that he didn't want to restore the country. You know, Yue Jingan has been lurking in the palace for so long. Now he even went so far as to tempt Ming Shengdi in order to restore Jinlai. Such a bewildered person suddenly said that he would give up the goal he had always insisted on. He couldn't believe it no matter what.

What's more, according to the news he investigated, before Xia Qin took action against Xia Zijin, Xia Qin had visited Yue Jing'an's palace. Xia Shengqing couldn't believe it if there was no connection between them.It's an exaggeration to say that Yue Jing'an is probably already hating Xia Zijin to the bone, and Xia Qin's activities against Xia Qixuan all these times started with getting rid of Xia Zijin, which is too strange.

Now it seems that Yue Jing'an is probably behind the scenes.Having figured this out, Xia Shengqing's eyes dimmed involuntarily, his lips pursed, his fists involuntarily clenched, he stood where he was, and said goodbye in a blunt tone.

Yue Jing'an watched him leave, her chest heaving with anger.Thinking of Xia Zijin returning to Beijing alive with such a good opportunity, Xia Zijin couldn't help but sneered and cursed secretly.

Nanny was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and after a long while, the breath came from her chest, "Mother, are you alright?"

Yue Jing'an raised her face and forced a smile at her, "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired, you should step back first."

Mammy was about to continue persuading her, but seeing her determined expression, she could only swallow the words in her mouth and retreat.

When Xia Shengqing returned to the mansion, he happened to see Xia Zijin sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the front yard, surrounded by thick mats, with cushions under his buttocks, holding a teacup in his hand, looking at the gate of the mansion from time to time, obviously Waiting posture.

After seeing him, a smile appeared on Xia Zijin's face immediately, then turned to look at Xin'er who was standing by the side, and told her to reheat the tea on the table.Xin'er immediately left holding the tea bowl.

Seeing her smiling at her, Xia Shengqing couldn't help feeling hot in her heart, and rushed to meet her, subconsciously held her hands, tested her body temperature, and immediately frowned, "Why don't you go indoors when your hands are so cold?" Sitting, if you catch a cold and get sick, how can you do it?"

Xia Zijin smiled and shook her head, "I only sat for a while, it doesn't matter, and there are curtains around, so it's not that cold."

Seeing that her cheeks were red from the cold and she still said she was not cold, Xia Shengqing couldn't help shaking her head, and dragged her into the room.Xin'er went to get new tea and came back but saw no one, so she was stunned for a moment, and then hurried to the main courtyard.I happened to meet Rong Yu on the road. Seeing her running fast with tea, Rong Yu immediately stopped in front of her, "Why are you running so fast? Who is this tea for?"

While speaking, he looked behind her to make sure there was no one else, so he frowned.

Xin'er took a breath and glanced at him, "Of course this tea is for my princess and son-in-law. Please let Mr. Rong make room, if the servants leave late, it will be bad if the tea is cold."

Rong Shizi choked on her words, and couldn't help being speechless. It took him a long time to recover, "You are so eloquent, does Zijin know?"
