Rebirth as Hou Menfu

Chapter 47

When Mrs. Shen woke up, she saw Mrs. Tang's weeping expression, "My dear daughter, you've woken up."

Madam Shen propped herself up with a headache and covered her forehead, "What's wrong with me?"

"You have been in a coma for several days. It is rumored in the capital that you, a stepmother, did not treat the daughter left by her ex-wife well, and even withheld the dowry left by her mother, and cheated the Qiao family together with her son-in-law. Fortunately, the Qiao family found out in time and asked for the dowry back." Mrs. Tang said while patting her daughter.

After Mrs. Shen passed out on Yingxiu Jiji that day, Shen Heye panicked. Even if the items in this house were not considered to be deductible, the bracelet was indeed clear. Knowing, what face does he have in the court, and with his wife cheating his ex-wife's dowry, the entire Shen family would be ashamed if he said it.

Mrs. Qiao looked at Shen Heye leisurely, "Master Shen, Mrs. Shen is exhausted, please help her down to rest, and this row of dowry should be embroidered by Mrs. Shen for Ying. What dowry did you prepare?"

Mrs. Qiao came to settle accounts with them after discussing with Qiao Qingyou, and this princess was also invited through the Meng family. Zhuge Yuxin was originally entrusted by Qi Haoming, and they were not afraid to make a fuss about it. When you grow up, let everyone present spread the word, whether Shen Heye thinks the dowry is more important or the black hat is more important.

One or two of these family scandals happen every day in the capital, and those who don't inquire about them don't know about it, but if someone who is interested can read a book, the connection between the Qiao family and the palace is close, and Shen Heye has to weigh his own level.

"Yes, that's for Xiu'er. My wife and I discussed to give Xiu'er half of the betrothal gift from Qi's mansion, which was the dowry given by my father at that time." Shen Heye made a promise tremblingly, and waited When Madam Shen woke up again, all the dowry that had been withheld in her treasury had been moved back to the treasury, and even the row of Madam Shen's dowry that Qiao Qingyou pointed to was also packed and placed in the treasury, plus half of Shen Heye's promise The dowry, the treasury is truly full.

Mrs. Qiao was afraid that people in Shen's residence would be jealous, so she even changed the door locks. Everyone prepared to bring them in advance, and sent two strong women to guard at the door of the warehouse. I personally deliver it every day, and I typically don't believe Mrs. Shen.

Shen Heye finally understood, they didn't come to participate in the Jiji ceremony, they just came to find fault, but this still can't be concealed, there were many wives who attended the Jiji ceremony that day, and there were also many maids who knew it, and they didn't spend half a day in the capital It is known that Shen's residence has a cruel stepmother and a cruel father, who have forced this eldest daughter out of her way of life. If it were not for the presence of this grandparent's family, she still does not know if this eldest daughter would be able to live so long.

The version is a misery, but Mrs. Shen fainted again after hearing what Mrs. Tang said. Mrs. Tang quickly pinched her, and then woke up faintly. Mrs. Shen burst into tears immediately, "I What kind of evil is this doing!!!”

"Mother, that's the most valuable thing you gave me. How can I take it as a dowry for that lowly girl? I left it for Huier, and I have to take half of the dowry away. Don't even think about it." Think!" Mrs. Shen pushed Mrs. Tang away and was about to get out of bed, but the person who just woke up was unsteady on his feet and almost fell down again.

Mrs. Tang pulled her back and persuaded her, "This thing has been locked back. If you continue to make trouble now, you will not be able to continue as an official!"

Madam Shen sat on the edge of the bed blankly, her hair was disheveled on both sides, she suddenly raised her head to look at Madam Tang and said, "It was hers, she took it back, but there is still my dowry, she took it anyway, No, I'm going to get it back, they're robbing something!"

Mrs. Tang sighed, and looked at her daughter who still couldn't figure it out, "Princess Ding and Concubine Shizi were both there that day, and your husband-in-law promised that it was your dowry to Yingxiu, and half of the betrothal gift, you go now If you want to come back, don't you regret it in front of them, and it has been spread outside that you, a mother, have treated her badly." She had already persuaded this daughter not to be too harsh on Shen Yingxiu, and she always kept three points and said If he went out, the Shen family's reputation would be bad, and Shen Heye had no background in the court, so how could he stand up to her troubles like this.

"When did I treat her badly? She has enough to eat and live. Mother, you don't know what Madam Qiao and Madam Qin said that day." The bracelet on his wrist suddenly pulled the jade bracelet down from his hand violently.

You can't use brute force to remove the bracelet, Madam Shen was in a cold sweat of pain, the bracelet got stuck between the palm bones and couldn't go up and down, Madam Tang saw the bruise that rose up immediately, and quickly called the maid to fetch a basin of water, "Hey, I said you child, why are you so stubborn, quickly bring soap!" Mrs. Tang soaked her hands in warm water and wiped them with soap before taking off the jade bracelet.

Madam Shen clutched her aching wound, suddenly snatched the bracelet from Madam Tang's hand, and smashed it on the ground, the jade bracelet instantly shattered into three pieces, Madam Shen's pale face had a look of ferocity, "It's this cheap thing It hurt me like this!"

After Shen Heye came back at night, Mrs. Shen originally thought that he would comfort her, but she didn't expect Shen Heye to slap her on the head, "Look at your bad idea!"

Mrs. Shen was beaten straight away, and looked at Shen Heye in disbelief, "Master, you hit me?"

Shen Heye couldn't take back his hand for a while, his eyes flashed, and he looked at her forcefully, "It's your attention, keep some of the dowry, you see, it's all right now, if the dowry is gone, you have to post it and don't say it. The emperor actually talked about the matter of the backyard, so he wanted to spare the front yard, and he was referring to my Shen family."

"Shen Heye!" Mrs. Shen suddenly went crazy and shouted, "You hit me, you dare to hit me!"

Shen Heye has always been very obedient to her. He has never been so fierce to her as today, even beat her. It is fine for her, Tang Wan, to marry him as his second wife, but she still has to suffer this grievance. Now she even has her own dowry. After posting it, he didn't even have a word of comfort.

Shen Heye left in a huff of sleeves. Mrs. Shen covered half of her red and swollen face and sat on the couch, staring blankly at the front as if she had lost her backbone...

In Yun Academy, Yingxiu repeatedly looked at the dowry list, raised her head and asked Ruizhu, "Would you like to stay here? It doesn't matter if you don't want to. It may not be better to come with me to the Nanyang Marquis Mansion than to serve the old lady." .”

Ruizhu looked at Yingxiu and shook her head, "Ruizhu used to serve the old lady, but now the old lady asked me to serve the lady, Ruizhu is the lady's man."

Yingxiu nodded. In her previous life, the maid given to her by the old lady before she got married was also Ruizhu, but at that time she listened to other people's words and didn't have much trust in the maid specially sent by the old lady to take care of her. At that time, Ruizhu was asked to be a concubine by a sex steward, and her life was very bad.

"This is the dowry list that my aunt asked you to bring. Are you sure it's these?" Yingxiu then looked down at the list. It was much more than the list she copied to Mr. Qiao. Whose dowry would Madam Qiao add? Married, what dowry was added was clearly written, when she saw something under Mrs. Shen's, the corners of Yingxiu's mouth twitched slightly, the two of them, the eldest aunt and the aunt, were really too domineering.

Taking advantage of Mrs. Shen's fainting, and in front of Princess Ding, she robbed Shen Heye who could be robbed, and she was not relentless when it was time to blackmail her. Qiao Qingyou even vented her anger on behalf of her younger sister who died young, Such a man should not have allowed him to live so comfortably. If Yingxiu hadn't seen that Yingxiu was still in Shen's residence and needed their care, how could the Qiao family still at least take care of Shen Heye in the court.

"The old lady also said, Miss, please hide this list. When you arrive at the Nanyang Hou Mansion, I will ask you to order it again, so that they won't keep it." Ruizhu is not a maid of the Shen family, so naturally she doesn't have much respect Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen, the Qiao family also kept a copy of the dowry list, so I'm not afraid of them denying it. There were plenty of witnesses that day.

In order to save his reputation in front of them, Shen Heye agreed to everything. Mrs. Qiao didn't give him a chance to regret it at all. So, I have to make sure that they bullied me before.

"They won't hold it anymore." Yingxiu knew Shen Heye too well. Although she was married to Qi Haosheng at the time, it was considered a high marriage, but Qi Houye at that time did not treat Shen's family badly. Shen Heye loved reputation very much, so she married her. At that time, even if the dowry had been exchanged, the number of sets was quite large. Yingxiu couldn't help laughing when she remembered what her aunt said when Baoqin came back.

Those who didn't know thought that Shen's family sold cloth. When the dowry box was opened, six of the ten boxes were cloth, and two were broken copper.

Things are getting so big now, if the package is dropped again, and Yingxiu has a dowry list, how could Shen Heye make such a move.

There are not a few days left to get married, but Mrs. Shen fell ill and has been lying on the bed with no energy. Shen Heye also stayed in the yard of Aunt Kong and Aunt Wei. Yingxiu saw Aunt Kong again Once, when she learned that she had not changed her mind, she stopped persuading her. She used to help her to divert Mrs. Shen's attention, but now it seems that she wants to fight for herself. People's hearts have changed so much Unexpectedly, if she thought that Mrs. Shen was really ill and there was nothing she could do, and when she got married, she would no longer interfere in the affairs of the backyard.

Six months before the wedding, Mother Yan and Mother Qiao thought of ways to moisten her skin and replenish her body. Now, a few days before the wedding, Mother Yan began to urge Yingxiu to go to bed early every day, and strictly ordered the housekeeper's mother-in-law not to Then bring in the things of the second young master of the Qiao family, and teach her about the inner house several hours a day.

This should be done by a mother, but Mrs. Shen is ill. Even if she is not ill, according to her temperament, she will not teach Yingxiu too much. I wish she could do nothing. Mama Yan and Mama Qiao The two talked to her in turn based on their experience. During this period, Mrs. Qiao also came to tell her some tips for getting married.

The day before the wedding, Mrs. Shen's health did not improve, but nothing stopped in the Shen residence because of her illness. As the Shen family, Mrs. Li had to come over to help arrange Yingxiu's marriage together. After such a turmoil, Mrs. Li has a new understanding of the circle of noble ladies in the capital. It turns out that they are the most powerful in telling lies, but whoever makes her the sister-in-law of the Shen family, she has to accept it if she doesn't.

On the night before the wedding, there were many worship ceremonies to be held in Shen's residence. Yingxiu was the eldest daughter of the Shen family and the first one to get married. She just had a bad life, and married Yingxiu, who was such a good man, full of sympathy. Before Yingxiu entered the circle of women, she had already earned a reputation of needing to be loved.

Mrs. Shen had to come out to preside over some sacrificial offerings even though she supported herself, but when she saw Yingxiu's rosy face, she immediately took a deep breath in her chest and went back to bed. It wasn't a serious illness, just aggrieved It's hard to suffocate...
