Chapter 30 Lively
Chapter 30 Lively
Shen Mingshu sat with Luo Xin and Shen Qingyue in the garden for a while, and someone came over to send a message saying that someone from Linlang Pavilion was coming to report something.
Shen Mingshu nodded, and ordered: "Take that man to the study, I'll go there right away."
She said a few words to Luo Xin and Shen Qingyue, ordered her servants to look after them carefully, then got up and walked towards the study.
Shen Qingyue looked away, seeing Luo Xin still staring blankly at Shen Mingshu's leaving back, couldn't help but smiled, and teased: "Don't look, I'll see you again at dinner later, you're still afraid that my sister ran away ?”
Luo Xin turned around, and when she said this, her cheeks were pink with embarrassment, "Don't be afraid, my sister won't run away."
Shen Qingyue noticed that every time Shen Mingshu was mentioned, Luo Xin teased her, and she couldn't help being interested, luring her to talk about the scenes of the two of them getting along.
It's fun here, but the atmosphere in the study is not warm.
Shen Mingshu stepped into the study room, Shen Li followed behind and closed the door. There was already a middle-aged man waiting in the room. Seeing Shen Mingshu coming in, he quickly got up and saluted.
Shen Mingshu raised his hand to signal that he didn't need to be too polite, stepped up and sat down behind the table, and the maid served tea in due course and then backed out.
Shen Mingshu held up the teacup, took a sip of the hot tea, and asked lightly: "Is there any news?"
The middle-aged man wiped the sweat from his forehead, he hurried over, tried his best to regain his breath, and said respectfully: "The young master, the old lady of the Zhang family and the second son of the Zhang family went to the Yin Temple outside the city together, the old lady Entered the side room with the young master, and our people couldn't hear what they said specifically."
He raised his head and glanced at Shen Mingshu's expression. Although he didn't know why the young lady asked them to follow the young master, it was good for him to do his job well.
Seeing that there was no change in Shen Mingshu's expression, the middle-aged man continued: "They stayed in the wing room for half an hour, and then returned to the city. .”
"Suyue Pavilion?" A coldness flashed across Shen Mingshu's eyes. This Suyue Pavilion sounds like a serious place, but in fact it is a place where dudes gather to hop and gamble. Her heart sank, and she said, "Is there anything else?" ?”
The middle-aged man felt a little uneasy, wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, and said: "The entry and exit of Suyue Pavilion is strictly controlled, and our people only saw the eldest young master go in, and the younger one kept someone there to guard, come here first to give it to me." You report this."
"I see." Shen Mingshu nodded, "Just keep staring, don't be noticed."
"Yes." The middle-aged man bowed and bowed, and quickly stepped back.
Shen Li stood aside, not at peace in his heart, secretly looking at Shen Mingshu's expression, he only hoped that the young master would not do anything foolish.
Shen Mingshu noticed his gaze, turned his head and asked indifferently: "What's wrong?"
With a smile on his face, Shen Li said with a lively mind, "I just wanted to ask, it's almost the end of the new year, when will we set off to go back to our hometown?"
"You're homesick too." Shen Mingshu sighed, tapped his fingertips on the table, and said, "Let's set off in three days."
Listening to Shen Mingshu's previous words, Shen Li couldn't help but feel a little sour, and said with a smile: "Let's go early, I will immediately order the people below to pack up all the things. When the master sees the things you and the young master and the second young lady brought, Will be very happy."
Shen Mingshu was amused by him and smiled, and waved him to prepare.
Both Shen Li and Qiu Nong retreated, Shen Mingshu sat alone in the study, his eyes resting on the desk, various thoughts flashed through his mind.
After a while, she got up, and took out a booklet from the bookshelf on the other side of the study room, which was given to her by Luo Xin on the night of her marriage. She hadn't read it yet, and she wanted to take it back to her father when she came, the other party would like it.
It wasn't until the meal time that the people in front reported that the young master had returned. Shen Mingshu looked up at the door, and Shen Qingjia was passing through the screen and walking towards the main hall. When he saw them, he smiled.
At the banquet, no one mentioned the matter of Shen Qingjia and Zhang Xiulang going out, Shen Qingyue complained that Shen Qingjia came back late, Shen Qingjia apologized repeatedly, and the banquet was as usual, except that there was already a wind blowing outside the door.
On the second day, I had already made an appointment to visit Zhang's mansion. Before returning to Yangzhou, I naturally had to say hello to the relatives in the capital, and Luo Xin had just passed by, and I had to recognize the female relatives there. It's rude.
When Shen Mingshu brought his family to the door, the Second Elder happened not to be at the residence. She and Shen Qingjia went to the front yard to meet the Elder Elder, while Shen Qingyue and Luo Xin went to the backyard. With Shen Qingyue here, there is no need to worry.
The Elder Master was practicing calligraphy in the study, when the concierge reported that they were coming, he hurriedly had someone welcome them in.
Shen Mingshu and Shen Qingjia sat down, chatted for a while, and then mentioned the matter of returning to Yangzhou years ago.
The old man pondered for a moment, his clear eyes swept across the two people below, he smiled and said: "Although I still want to stay with you for a few more days, but I think you brothers and sisters are also thinking about the elders, so don't hurry on the way, just be careful .”
"Yes, thank you, Uncle." Shen Mingshu got up earnestly and said.
The elder waved his hand, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Just one thing, I need your help."
"Uncle, please tell me." Shen Mingshu's heart moved slightly, and he looked up.
The elder put the teacup in his hand aside, and said: "Your second cousin will go to Yangzhou in the next year, and he may have to stay for a while. The old lady is worried and wants to ask you to take care of him for a while. Be sure to rest assured."
Shen Mingshu smiled slightly, and replied: "What's the trouble? Naturally, relatives should take care of it." She glanced at Shen Qingjia who was at the side, and his eyes fell to the side, not knowing what he was thinking.
Hearing what she said, the elder smiled reassuringly, and said, "Since Ming Shu said so, I feel relieved."
The three of them chatted for a while, the Elder Master gave Shen Qingjia a few words, and it happened that someone came to visit him, so the two of them bid farewell and left.
After Shen Qingyue took Luo Xin to meet the female family members at the back, they chatted for a few words, but didn't stay long, and when they heard that Shen Mingshu and the others had already left, they also got up to say goodbye.
The old lady was not in good spirits today, so she didn't stay any longer, she only pulled Shen Qingyue to give him some more careful instructions, and then let him go.
After leaving Zhang's house, Shen Mingshu signaled to stop the carriage, got out of the carriage and walked to the carriage behind which Shen Qingyue and Luo Xin were riding.
Luo Xin raised the curtain with some doubts, and saw Shen Mingshu, with a smile on her face, and asked softly, "Sister, why did you stop suddenly?"
Shen Qingyue also looked over suspiciously.
Shen Mingshu smiled at her, and said: "Qingyue, you go back first and see how the things you need to bring back are packed. I'll take Luo Xin to a place."
Shen Qingyue knew that she didn't want to take her with her anymore, and she couldn't leave her after checking her luggage, so she curled her lips and said, "Got it."
The servants raised the curtain of the carriage, and Shen Mingshu personally helped Luo Xin get out of the carriage, and the two stood by the side of the road watching the Shen family's carriage leave.
Luo Xin looked back and asked curiously, "Sister, where are we going?"
She likes to stay with Shen Mingshu, but when her elder sister is busy, she is always not easy to disturb, and now the two of them can't help but raise the corners of their lips.
Shen Mingshu also eased his expression, took her hand to avoid pedestrians on the side of the road, "I'll take you to meet someone."
The place they were going to was outside the city. Shen Li personally drove a carriage, and it went out of the city steadily. After a while, it stopped at the foot of a mountain.
"Does that person live on the mountain?" Luo Xin looked up. In winter, the top of the mountain has been covered with white snow. When the wind blows, it brings a sense of chill.
Shen Mingshu took the cloak from Lan Yin's hand, wrapped it around Luo Xin, and closed it to prevent the wind from running in, "Yes, but it's not on the top of the mountain, it's better to go to the side of the mountain."
Several servants brought all kinds of things to be prepared, and followed the two of them towards the mountain. The scenery here is good, the mountain road is flat and wide, and the two walked side by side, stopping from time to time to see the distant scenery.
After a while, I arrived at the mountainside, where a small temple was actually built, and it looked like there was still some incense.
Shen Mingshu led Luo Xin in, took the cloak and handed it to Lan Yinqiu Nong, and the host came out to welcome him. Although the weather was sunny today, it was still blowing cold, and no one came here. At first hearing, the host was a little surprised .
After taking a look at Shen Mingshu and the two, he recognized that they belonged to a wealthy family, and said with a smile: "Amitabha, why are the two benefactors here?"
Shen Mingshu smiled and said, "Come to visit an old friend from the backyard."
The host raised his eyebrows slightly, put his palms together, and took a step aside, "Amitabha, the benefactor has a heart."
The host personally led the two of them through the front yard and walked towards the back. After walking a small path, Luo Xin saw a cemetery behind.
The host left after sending them here, leaving a little novice standing far away to give instructions.
Shen Mingshu led her over, and stopped in front of the tombstone. Luo Xin looked at the writing on it, and slowly her eyes turned red, and the eyes were watery.
Shen Mingshu sighed softly, raised his hand to wipe away the teardrops, and coaxed: "Don't cry."
Luo Xin grabbed her sleeves tightly, took a step closer, and buried her head in her chest without saying a word.
Shen Mingshu gently stroked the top of her hair, and said: "I only heard about this news when I entered Beijing, and I sent someone to stay here and move here, thinking that I must bring you here to have a look before leaving Beijing."
Feeling the moist heat coming from his chest, Shen Mingshu said softly: "Don't look at the snow here, but it will look beautiful in spring. There are many flowers in this garden, and they will look beautiful when they are in bloom. Your mother must Will love it."
"Well, mother likes flowers." Luo Xin answered this sentence sullenly, raised her head and looked at the tombstone again, her eyes and nose were red, and she murmured: "At that time, mother closed her eyes. I was taken away by them, and I couldn't find my mother afterwards."
Shen Mingshu took the handkerchief moistened with hot water from Qiu Nong, and gently wiped the tears on Luo Xin's face. It's freezing here, and her face will freeze up later, she coaxed softly: " Here it is."
Luo Xin nodded, raised her eyebrows and eyes, raised her head to let Shen Mingshu wipe it, and said softly, "Thank you sister." It's just that the red and swollen eyes looked pitiful.
Shen Mingshu ordered the little novice to come over with a bucket of warm water, and helped Luo Xin wipe the dust off the tombstone.
Luo Xin stopped wiping her hand for a moment, and asked, holding back her sobs, "Sister, can we still come in the future?"
Shen Mingshu was blocked from seeing, he could only see Luo Xin's hair, and said softly: "Of course, next time you can bring something."
Luo Xin nodded, "Well, next time I have to bring some mung bean cakes that my mother likes."
The backyard is far away from the front, and it will not be disturbed on weekdays. The scenery is open, but the wind is gradually picking up. Shen Mingshu and Luo Xin stood for a while, and then went down the mountain.
Luo Xin cried a lot, her eyes and nose were still red, wearing a fluffy cloak, innocent and pitiful, she held Shen Mingshu's hand tightly all the way.
When he got into the carriage, Shen Mingshu saw that she was still a little dazed, knowing that she was tired from crying, so he hugged her in his arms, put the small thermos in Luo Xin's hands, and spoke softly to soothe her emotions.
Luo Xin leaned her head against her neck, softly responded to Shen Mingshu's words, and soon fell asleep, Shen Mingshu softly coaxed her to close her eyes.
Shen Mingshu lowered her head to look at Luo Xin's closed eyelashes. The slender eyelashes were wet with tears, and several of them were connected together, still wet. She turned her head slightly, and fell asleep leaning against Shen Mingshu.
It's good to cry like this. Luo Xin's heart is pure and simple, but also delicate. It's not good to be overwhelmed by all kinds of emotions. Shen Mingshu still feels a little distressed when he thinks of Luo Xin crying silently just now, Luo Xin still smiles. Get up.
She raised her hand and touched the pear dimples on Luo Xin's cheeks. They were soft, and the corners of her lips curled up. She raised the corner of the curtain and looked out the window. One was ice and snow, and the other was warm like spring.
Luo Xin woke up after waiting in the Shen family's old house, but she was still a little uninspired, as if she had caught a cold from the wind, Shen Mingshu blamed herself, stuffed her into the quilt, and ordered her servants to hurry up. Bring some bowls of ginger soup.
Luo Xin was wrapped in the quilt, and looked at Shen Mingshu with an embarrassed smile. Shen Mingshu also had nothing to do with her, and after a while, a servant brought ginger soup in.
Shen Mingshu stared at Luo Xin and wrinkled his face one after another until he drank it all up, and then let her go and let her sweat under the quilt for a while, so as not to really get sick.
Luo Xin was already a little tired, so she slowly closed her eyes while lying down. Shen Mingshu saw that she was fast asleep and touched her forehead, but it didn't feel hot, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Qiu Nong came in from the outside, carefully glanced at the sleeping Luo Xin, and asked softly, "Miss, the ceremony is ready, but...will you go to Luo Mansion tomorrow?"
Shen Mingshu withdrew his hand and said lightly, "Let's talk about it tomorrow."
Tomorrow is the third day after marriage, and it is logical that the bride will return home, and they are about to return to Yangzhou, if they don't say something, it really can't be justified, let's see how Luo Xin will be tomorrow.
In Shen Mingshu's mind, this matter is optional, but the next morning, it was Luo Xin who brought it up and asked, "Sister, aren't we going back home today?"
Shen Mingshu paused for her holding Bu Yao's hand, and met Luo Xin's eyes through the mirror, "Do you want to go?"
Luo Xin turned to look at her and said, "Qingyue said it's the rule, so it's okay if you don't go?"
Shen Mingshu laughed, Luo Xin didn't know the rules, she just heard what Qingyue said, but it's okay to go, she just asked, "Are you not feeling bad today?"
Luo Xin quickly shook her head and said, "It's not uncomfortable anymore, you don't need to drink medicine."
Shen Mingshu was amused by her fear of bitter medicine, and said, "Then let's go."
Naturally, Luo's mansion would not forget the day when they returned to the house. Luo Yuanhua was very concerned about this marriage, and when she received Shen Mingshu's invitation, she happily let them be welcomed in.
Mrs. Wang was also seated, and seeing Luo Xin's beautiful appearance, she gritted her teeth, twisted the handkerchief in her hand, forced a smile on her face, and watched Shen Mingshu and Luo Xin salute.
Luo Yuanhua cheerfully sat the two of them down and asked the maid to serve good tea.
With a polite smile on her face, Shen Mingshu talked with him respectfully, and from time to time brought up some irrelevant news that the elder Zhang family had told her, which made Luo Yuanhua feel more happy.
After chatting for a while, Shen Mingshu mentioned that he was about to return to Yangzhou. Luo Yuanhua frowned slightly and asked, "When are you going to leave?"
"The journey will start tomorrow." Shen Mingshu put down the tea cup and replied.
Luo Yuanhua hesitated and asked, "Could it be too hasty?"
Shen Mingshu said carefully: "In a few days, when the snow falls, the road will be difficult to travel. Besides, when I've been away from home for a long time, I really miss my elders."
After Shen Mingshu said this, Luo Yuanhua didn't say anything to dissuade him, he could only give a few casual words.
It was almost time, Shen Mingshu got up to leave, declined Luo Yuanhua's invitation to stay for a meal, and brought Luo Xin back to Shen's old house.
On the carriage, Luo Xin who had been silent in the Luo Mansion just now asked with joy in her eyes: "Sister, are we really going back to your house tomorrow?"
Hearing what she said, Shen Mingshu nodded with a smile, "Yes, but it's not just my home, it will be your home in the future."
The corners of Luo Xin's lips could not help but curl up, dimples appeared on her cheeks, and she nodded heavily, "Yeah."
"Then say it again," Shen Mingshu teased her with a smile.
Luo Xin pursed her lips, with a blushing blushing on her face, she leaned into Shen Mingshu's ear and whispered, "Sister, will you take me home tomorrow?"
Shen Mingshu nodded with a smile, the carriage swayed, she supported the unstable Luo Xin, and replied, "Well, I'll take you home tomorrow."
Back at the Shen family's old house, Luo Xin still couldn't suppress her excitement, so Shen Mingshu simply let her go to Shen Qingyue's place to sort things out and vent her energy.
Sure enough, when Luo Xin returned to her room at night, she was already yawning. Shen Mingshu couldn't help laughing at the person who fell asleep while talking to her. She didn't know what she was doing with Qingyue. Tired like this.
She brushed away Luo Xin's broken hair that fell on her cheeks, tucked her in the quilt, and closed her eyes. The warmth in the quilt made her sigh involuntarily.
In the early morning of the second day, the Shen family boarded the carriage and headed towards the city gate. At this time, there was a great commotion in the city, and half of the people in the city couldn't help but join in the fun.
However, it is said that early in the morning, before dawn, someone was beating drums in the yamen to appeal for grievances, suing Luo Wang, the official family of the Luo Mansion, for intending to kill people to silence him. In the hall.
Jing Zhaoyin was thinking that Zhang San and Li Si would come to court again because of trivial matters, but he didn't expect that it was not a trivial matter.
He read the pleadings, then looked at the person kneeling in the hall, and asked, "Are you the plaintiff Wang Hengliang?"
At this time, Wang Hengliang was in a state of desperation, kneeling and said, "It's right here."
Jing Zhaoyin asked: "Are you suing Luo Wang, the main family of the Luo family, for intending to kill someone?"
"Exactly!" Wang Hengliang cursed sadly: "My lord, this villain was almost killed by this vicious woman. If there were no kind-hearted people to save me, how could I survive?"
Jing Zhaoyin saw his situation in his eyes, and said calmly: "Please explain the reason in detail."
Wang Hengliang kowtowed heavily, and said: "The villain is originally a student of Danyang, and he came to the capital with his mother to study for the imperial examination. The Naluo Wang family is the youngest aunt. When she went to visit, she clearly promised to marry her daughter to me, and invited her to marry me." I temporarily stayed in the Luo Mansion, but later I turned my back on my word and gave me medicine to make me lose face in front of all the nobles in the capital and drive me out of the Luo Mansion."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help shedding tears, raised his sleeves and wiped it, choked up and said: "When I moved into the Luo Mansion earlier, the villain's mother returned to my hometown first, so after I was kicked out of the mansion, I had nowhere to go. I can live on the street, but the Naluo Wang family still doesn't let me go, buying murder with the intention of killing me!"
"Fortunately, a kind-hearted person saved the villain's life, and now the villain is begging the Lord Qingtian to decide his life!" Wang Hengliang spoke excitedly, and even opened his clothes to reveal the wound, which he knew at a glance was a fatal wound.
The onlookers in the hall were all discussing. Seeing Wang Hengliang's pitiful scene, his heart was a little bit off, and he called out the poisonous woman. Jing Zhaoyin patted the gavel heavily, and said, "Quiet."
He looked down at the hall with a solemn expression, and said lightly: "The courtroom is not allowed to make noise, if there is any grievance, I will definitely let you decide."
He turned his head to look at the master beside him, and it was not difficult to find out what Wang Hengliang said. After a while, he realized that most of what Wang Hengliang said was credible, but there was no evidence for drugging and buying murder.
Jing Zhaoyin pondered for a moment, then threw down a lottery, and said: "Call the Luo family of Luofu to attend the court."
When she heard the news, Mrs. Wang almost fainted, took the hand of the maid beside her, and said, "Who is he talking about? Wang Hengliang?"
The maid's wrist was scratched by a nail, so she could only hold back and said: "Yes."
Wang said hurriedly: "Why is he not dead? It's impossible, impossible!"
The housekeeper looked embarrassed, and asked: "Madam, what should I do now, I will send someone to call the master back as soon as possible."
Mrs. Wang was already in a panic, hearing the shouting in front of her, her heart was in a mess, and she said: "Hurry up, hurry up, call the master back quickly."
Luo Xixiao was also at home, upon hearing the news, she hurried to the Wang's courtyard, "Mother, what's going on?"
She guessed that her mother would definitely deal with Wang Hengliang, but now she was surprised when she heard it.
Seeing her daughter, Mrs. Wang regained her composure. Even though Wang Hengliang said so, he didn't have any evidence. She didn't have to be too impatient. The panic just now was temporarily suppressed, and she said, "Since Jing Zhaoyin summoned you, you can't go if you don't go."
If she didn't go, she would be left to Wang Hengliang's nonsense and confirmed her guilty conscience, how she would live in the capital in the future.
Wang's mind was made up, so she asked the housekeeper to call back both the master and the young master as soon as possible, ordered a few maidservants, prepared their things, boarded the carriage, and went to the Yamen together with the yamen servants.
Everyone in the hall had been waiting impatiently, and when they saw a carriage approaching, they quickly moved out of the way.
Hearing the noisy voices outside, Wang's complexion became even uglier, this matter has become such a big commotion.
She got out of the carriage with a veiled hat, and bowed to Jing Zhaoyin. She is an official woman, and now she is just asking in court, and Jing Zhaoyin can't bully her, so she skips the kneeling ceremony and just needs to stand. Can.
Wang looked at the person kneeling next to him through the veiled hat, and it turned out to be Wang Hengliang, her heart sank, but she still had a calm expression on her face, and said lightly: "I don't know why my lord called my concubine here. ?”
Jing Zhaoyin briefly explained Wang Hengliang's complaint just now, and Wang Hengliang gritted his teeth and looked at her. After Jing Zhaoyin finished speaking, he asked, "Does Luo Wang have anything to say?"
Wang sneered, and said coldly, "That's nonsense." Pointing at Wang Hengliang, she cursed, "When I saw you first came to the capital, I took care of you for the sake of your relatives, but I didn't expect you to do such a thing." You are kicked out because of this stupid thing, as for the betrothal and murder, it is just nonsense."
Her voice was high-pitched, with a bit of anger, she looked particularly sharp, and she looked at Jing Zhaoyin and said, "My lord, it's all because of this person who slanders the concubine's body and talks about betrothing him. How can I ask such a poor boy with no special skills?" How could it be possible to betroth his daughter to him? As for buying murder, it is even more absurd, please be aware of it, my lord."
What Wang said is indeed not unreasonable, even if she is married, there has never been such a saying that the daughter of an official family married like this.
Wang Hengliang said with resentment on his face, "My nephew calls you aunt, how could you turn your face and deny anyone like this."
Jing Zhaoyin patted the gavel heavily, and said: "Wang Hengliang, what evidence do you have? If you only rely on your own words, you can't judge which is true and which is false. If you slander, you will not be able to escape the punishment." .”
Wang Hengliang said anxiously: "The villain still has evidence, and there is a servant girl Hongying who can testify for me!"
"Maid Hongying?" Jing Zhaoyin said, "Where is Hongying? Pass it to the court."
After a while, a maid wearing emerald clothes squeezed out from the crowd of onlookers in the hall. When Wang heard the name of the maid Hongying, her heart tightened. Hongying, who was serving in the middle school, spent money to buy a contract of selling her life earlier and left the house.
Hongying didn't even look at her, she walked up to Wang Hengliang, knelt down and bowed to Jing Zhaoyin, saying: "My servant Hongying has seen you."
Jing Zhaoyin said: "Wang Hengliang said that you can testify in court, what do you have to say?"
Hongying kowtowed and said: "This servant once served in Mrs. Luo's courtyard, and I overheard other maids discussing that Madam intends to betroth the young lady to Prince Wang. Later, on the day Prince Wang had an accident, this servant saw a servant girl secretly I poured out some medicine dregs, and I quietly hid some."
She took out a ball-shaped handkerchief from her bosom, and handed it to the yamen servant at the side. Jing Zhaoyin summoned the doctor to come forward to check it, picked up the medicine dregs and sniffed it. After a while, she whispered a few words in Jing Zhaoyin's ear.
Jing Zhaoyin patted the gavel again, and said, "Luo Wang, how do you explain this thing?"
Seeing Hongying appearing, Wang's heart panicked, but at this time she naturally couldn't admit it, she just replied: "I don't know who I am, this maid left the mansion a few days ago, I usually treat her well, Who would have thought such thoughts."
Hongying immediately shouted: "Madam, do you still remember Cuiyun? Sister Cuiyun was driven to the rough envoy's room by you, and she disappeared after a while. I can swear that this medicine dregs was stolen from the madam's courtyard by my servant." , If there is a lie, the sky will be struck by thunder." After saying this, she couldn't help crying, and covered her eyes with a handkerchief.
For a moment, Wang didn't know whether it was cursing or what. The onlookers looked at this big show and sighed. They didn't expect to see such a lively big show this early in the morning.
When she was in a daze, Wang Hengliang said earnestly: "Auntie, I have a deep love for my cousin. You promised to marry her to me, and I have already treated her as my wife. As long as you marry her to me, I will never blame you for these things." !"
When Wang heard this, she was so angry that she almost fainted, and cursed fiercely: "Fantasy," she looked at Jing Zhaoyin, and said, "I don't know anything about what this servant girl said, please learn from me."
Before she finished speaking, another person squeezed out from the hall and shouted anxiously: "My lord, this eldest lady of the Luo family has already been in love with me, how can I promise it to this fellow?"
As soon as this remark was made, the eyes of everyone in the hall turned away, and the man walked up to him with a purse in his hand and knelt down and said, "Little man Dong Ping, this is the love purse given to me by the eldest lady of the Luo family." , I mistakenly thought that she was the second young lady of the Luo family, but yesterday I found out that she is the eldest young lady of the Luo family, please make the decision for the villain!"
As soon as Dong Ping came out, the people in the hall suddenly broke out. Originally, it was just to convey the news to the Luo Wang family, but now it has become the marriage of the eldest daughter of the Luo family. The Wang family on the side is even more confused. Where did it come from.
When the commotion in the capital was in full swing, Shen Mingshu and his party had already left the city. Upon receiving the news, the corners of Shen Mingshu's lips curled up slightly, and he burned the note.
Seeing her expression, Luo Xin asked curiously, "Sister, what's the good news?"
Shen Mingshu said with a smile: "It's just a very lively drama, but unfortunately we can't see it."
Luo Xin thought for a while and said, "Since my sister said so, it must be very exciting."
Shen Mingshu nodded, looked at the half-braided brown hairbands in her hands, Luo Xin still had a few more in different colors, and asked, "These hairbands are also for me?"
Luo Xin frowned and smiled flatteringly, "The green one is for sister, the pink one is for Qingyue, the blue one is for Qingjia, and the brown one is for..."
Seeing Luo Xin's gaze wandering around, Shen Mingshu said with a smile, "For Daddy?"
Luo Xin pursed her lips and nodded. Seeing Shen Mingshu looking at her tenderly, she couldn't help but smile again, and said, "I don't know if Daddy will like it."
"Yes." Shen Mingshu stroked the top of her hair with a soft expression.
When Luo Yuanhua in Jingzhong knew about this, he accidentally dropped the teacup in his hand. I'm afraid most people in Jingzhong have heard about this incident, so what's the face of their Luofu.
Luo Yuanhua's face was livid with anger, and he hurried out, on the way he met Luo Xiyun who was rushing back.
Luo Xiyun asked solemnly: "Father, what should we do now? If we come forward, is Jing Zhaoyin willing to suppress this matter?"
Luo Yuanhua said with an ugly face: "I'm afraid it's useless for us to come forward. Now, we can only go to Zhang's mansion to beg for mercy. Even for the sake of my in-laws, I should be able to help."
Luo Yuanhua brought Luo Xiyun to Zhang's mansion in a hurry, and was welcomed in as soon as the notification was made. After quickly explaining the situation to Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang pondered for a moment before responding.
The elder of the Zhang family couldn't leave at this time, so Zhang Xiulang happened to pass by the door, so he wrote a letter and asked him to go to find Jing Zhaoyin with the Luo family and his son.
After the letter was delivered, Jing Zhaoyin showed hesitation, but after a while he still complied, and closed the case hastily on the grounds that Dong Ping's things were not credible and Wang Hengliang and Hongying's evidence was unreliable.
The ordinary people who watched the whole process with relish were unwilling, and could only complain a few words before leaving.
Wang was helped into the carriage in a trance, while Wang Hengliang and others were squeezed into the crowd and disappeared after a while.
After Luo Yuanhua and Luo Xiyun thanked Zhang Xiulang, they headed towards the Luo Mansion. Zhang Xiulang watched the figure of their father and son leaving, and clapped the fan in his hand with great interest.
The servant at the side asked suspiciously: "Second Young Master, what are you looking at?"
Zhang Xiulang patted him on the head and said, "It's okay, let's go have some fun." There are two types of officials' children in Beijing, one is for dudes like him, and the other is a model of studying hard , It's been a long time since they didn't deal with each other. I didn't expect that Luo Xiyun was interesting, and seemed to please him a little bit.
Zhang Xiulang smiled, and sighed a few times in his heart, seeing the prosperity of the capital, in fact, it was not because of the money and power in his hands.
Luo Yuanhua and Luo Xiyun rushed back home, and ordered the nanny to find Luo Xixiao.
Luo Xixiao only heard some gossip, and didn't know what happened. When she was called over, she couldn't help showing some surprise on her face, and asked anxiously, "Daddy, what happened?"
Thinking of those people's comments, Luo Yuanhua's face turned livid. He has always valued face the most. In this way, no one in Beijing knows about his family's scandal. Thinking of this, he slammed the table down and cursed: "I haven't Let me ask you, what have you done? Why did Dong Ping have your purse?"
Luo Xixiao was startled, and shouted: "How is it possible, that's obviously..."
"Obviously what is it?" Luo Yuanhua grasped the topic and asked urgently.
Luo Xixiao covered her face and cried, "My daughter doesn't know."
Wang stood up and said, "What's the use of scolding her now, it's better to think about what to do."
Luo Yuanhua thought of the good deeds done by Mrs. Wang here, and became angry, and cursed: "Up to now, you have done a lot!"
Seeing his mother and sister covering their faces and crying, Luoxi Yun's eyes were filled with coldness. Seeing that Luo Yuanhua stopped scolding, she stepped forward and asked, "Father, what should we do now?"
Luo Yuanhua took a sip from the teacup on the side, and slowly let out a sigh of relief, "Tomorrow, no, just today, I will send my wife and young lady to a rural hot spring village to recuperate, and don't come back until they are well."
Upon hearing this, Wang's eyes widened, "How can this be done?"
After she left, wouldn't the right to manage affairs in the mansion be given to those concubines?It's a pity that her natal family is not intimidating, Luo Yuanhua also likes beauty, when she comes back, there is no place for her in this mansion, so there will be trouble immediately.
Luo Xixiao is also hard to accept, if she is sent away like this, her reputation will be completely ruined, how can she marry in the future?Her father loved her the most in the past, so if she begged for mercy, she might be able to change her mind.
But Luo Yuanhua didn't care about their distress, put the teacup away, and walked out with Luo Xiyun. Luo Xiyun turned back to look at them for the last time, retracted his gaze and walked out with big strides. Howl left behind.
Shen Ming and Shu Luoxin had long been out of touch with the matter in the capital, and the group of them headed towards Yangzhou, already anxious in their hearts, so they walked faster on the road, and arrived in Yangzhou in less than half a month.
