She turned around and saw Shen Fengjiao, who had not been seen in the past few days.

"Why, my sister has repented so quickly?" Shen Xinyue looked at Shen Fengjiao with interest and asked.

When Shen Fengjiao heard Shen Xinyue's words, she immediately took a step back, as if she was frightened. She saluted in a panic and explained: "No sister, I heard that you were leaving, so I specially begged my father. Came to give you a ride."

In the eyes of the onlookers, her behavior seemed like Shen Xinyue was deliberately tormenting Shen Fengjiao based on her status after she came back. Especially the relatives from the clan, they had always heard about this big lady. The young lady is used to being domineering, while the second young lady tolerates everything but is still bullied by Shen Xinyue. The appearance of the two now seems to confirm everyone's suspicions.

But due to Shen Xinyue's identity there, no one dared to say anything.

Shen Xinyue saw everyone's appearance and knew that what happened that night was not spread out due to Aunt Liu and Shen Chusheng's deliberate concealment, so no one knew about Shen Fengjiao's confinement in the ancestral hall.

Let Shen Xinyue admit to bullying Shen Fengjiao like this?

Sorry, she can't do it.

So Shen Xinyue also deliberately stepped forward to help Shen Fengjiao up: "Jiaojiao, don't get excited. I'm just asking. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone the reason why you were punished that night. You don't have to be like this." Afraid of me."

Shen Xinyue deliberately mentioned that night without saying what the specific matter was. Shen Fengjiao was a boudoir girl and was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall at night. These few keywords were enough to make people who didn't know the inside story think. Lian Lian.

Shen Fengjiao immediately felt that the people around her looked at her completely differently from just now, but she did not dare to open her mouth to defend herself. After all, although everyone guessed at this time, they still did not dare to discuss it. If Shen Fengjiao If Xinyue directly told her about going to Huo Weilou's study that night, her reputation would be completely ruined.

Shen Fengjiao could only take a deep breath, and secretly told herself in her heart that the days ahead were long, and Shen Xinyue was about to return to the capital. As long as this matter was covered up today and she was not allowed to say anything, she would let her know in a few days. Aunt Liu and Shen Chusheng helped explain to themselves that she was still the second young lady of the Shen family in Jiangnan who was both talented and beautiful, and no one dared to look down upon her.

"What my sister said is that we two sisters are separated today and we don't know when we will see each other next time. Thinking of this, I can't help but feel uncomfortable. I came here in a hurry today and have nothing to give you. This is my own hand. I even brought the sewn peace charm to the temple to be blessed before. I hope it will bring good luck to my sister and bless you to be safe in the future."

"Okay, then I'll accept it." Seeing that Shen Fengjiao had always been polite, Shen Xinyue didn't want to embarrass Shen Fengjiao anymore, so she ordered Si Qi to accept the peace talisman and wanted to see Shen Fengjiao. Will Fengjiao make other moves next?

"Sister, what happened last time was my fault, but I really just came to find you. I just accidentally disturbed you. I hope your sister will forgive me."

After Shen Fengjiao finished speaking, she didn't wait for Shen Xinyue's reaction and immediately retreated behind Shen Chusheng, as if she really just came to apologize to Shen Xinyue.

Shen Xinyue didn't expect her behavior like this, but seeing that Shen Fengjiao didn't come to trouble her anymore, Shen Xinyue felt at ease, got on the carriage and officially left.

A breeze blew, and the curtain of the carriage was blown open. Shen Fengjiao noticed a searching gaze suddenly resting on her. She knew it must be Huo Weilou, so she deliberately lowered her head pretending to be very reluctant. He hid all the calculations.

Those who are willing take the bait... Doesn't this mean that Huo Weilou will remember him?

What she didn't notice was that there was a little maid following Shen Xinyue's carriage who had been secretly observing her reaction.

After several days of long journey, Shen Xinyue and Huo Weilou finally returned to the capital. Shen Xinyue only felt the pain that made her whole body want to fall apart. When she returned to the mansion, she originally wanted to pay respects to the old princess according to the rules. Who knew that the old princess The princess said she was not feeling well and asked her to go back by herself. Shen Xinyue was so happy that she quickly went back to her room to rest.

What she didn't notice was that a little maid who had just returned with her secretly went to the old princess's yard as soon as she returned home.

"That's what happened. The princess has done nothing during this period." The little maid gave the old princess an exact report of Shen Xinyue's daily routine after returning to her parents' home.

The old princess fiddled with the new parrot in front of her, and after a while she said: "Her concubine who came to see her off? Do you know what grudges there are between them?"

The maid thought for a while and shook her head: "I asked about it, and there was no such thing. But it's strange that the reputation of the concubine of the Shen family in Jiangnan has always been better than that of the princess's legitimate daughter. Even the world loves her. Comparing the two, it is said that they are as different as clouds and mud..."

When the old princess heard this, she sneered at the corner of her mouth: "Okay, I understand, you can go back first."

As soon as the old princess finished speaking, Nanny Li came forward and took out a handful of golden melon seeds and put them in the little maid's hand. When she saw the golden melon seeds, she immediately left happily.

"Did the princess think of something?" Grandma Li asked when she saw that the little maid had walked away.

"A girl who was born by a concubine has a greater reputation than a girl who was born by a direct descendant. What does this mean?"

"They, the Shen family, spoiled their concubines and killed their wives?" Grandma Li thought for a moment and said, "But this shouldn't have anything to do with us, right?"

"It doesn't matter, but at least Shen Xinyue can be cured by that concubine girl, otherwise she wouldn't have been allowed to live with the title of a idiot for so many years."

"You mean... you want to borrow a knife to kill someone? But that young lady is not in the capital either."

When the old princess heard this, she raised her lips coldly: "Isn't this easy? Since the concubine lady was talking about the deep love between two sisters when they were saying goodbye, let's do a good deed and see the princess in the house. Lonely, it’s not a problem to help her bring her sisters over to keep her company, right?"

"Princess, you are so smart." Nanny Li immediately handed the old princess a handful of bird feed in a flattering manner.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, hurry up and make arrangements." After saying that, the old princess began to feed the parrot in front of her seriously.

"Little bird, little bird, you said the sky is high outside and birds can fly, why do you insist on hitting me right in front of me? You can't get out, right?"

Under Grandma Li's arrangement, things quickly got on track.

In order not to make others suspicious, Grandma Li specially invited Song Ruyu and several daughters of the Shen family to pray with Shen Xinyue on the grounds that the old princess wanted to worship Buddha.

Since Song Ruyu only gave birth to one daughter, Shen Xinyue, all the other daughters in the Shen family except Shen Xinyue were concubines. Everyone was very excited when they learned that they had the opportunity to live in the Regent's Mansion in the capital.

However, Shen Fengjiao was not as happy as them. At this time, she felt mixed in her heart.

She was happy that she finally had a chance to get close to Huo Weilou again, but she was worried about why the news from the palace was to invite her and the concubines to go with her? Didn't she leave a deep impression on Huo Weilou that day? ?

At this time, Shen Fengjiao completely forgot that she was just a concubine, no different from other concubines.

The person who was even more angry than Shen Fengjiao was Aunt Liu.

She originally heard that the old princess invited the female members of the Shen family to worship the Buddha, and thought she could go too. She even asked the embroiderer at home to make a few more clothes for him. But who knew that she only found out after seeing the letter sent by the palace? The prince's palace asked his wife Song Ruyu to take several concubines from the palace to accompany Shen Xinyue.

How could this make her not angry?

So, when Shen Chusheng came to Aunt Liu's yard in the evening, he saw a picture of a beautiful woman crying.

Aunt Liu was originally very beautiful. Ever since she entered the Shen Mansion, she had been pampered and had not suffered any hardships. She had a good skin, which made her look like a girl who was only twenty-eight years old. And Xu Because she has given birth to children, she has a charm that girls don't have.

Under Aunt Liu's deliberate design, she was sitting on a soft couch, holding her head with one hand, and quietly wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes with the other hand. This scene fell into Shen Chusheng's eyes like a picture scroll.

"What's going on?" Shen Chusheng immediately stepped forward with great distress and hugged Aunt Liu tightly.

Upon seeing this, Aunt Liu quickly took out a silk scarf and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "It's nothing. Master, why did you come suddenly and didn't tell me in advance?"

"If I hadn't come here suddenly, how would I have known that my beauty was crying so heartily? Tell me, who bullied you."

"No one bullied me, it's just that I suddenly thought of my own birth and was a little sad. I'm fine. Master, you don't have to worry." Aunt Liu said it was fine, but her lowered eyes gradually started to look up again. teardrop.

"What's going on?" Shen Chusheng's eyes glanced at the maid on the side with a slightly threatening look.

Aunt Liu's personal maid Pei'er knelt down quickly and said, "I'll forgive you, sir. Today I heard that the second young lady was going to the capital, but she couldn't go to take care of her, so she was a little worried..."

When Pei'er said this, Aunt Liu started to sob in response: "It's all because of my poor background. If I had a better background, I wouldn't be so looked down upon. I can't even go out for a banquet. Poor me. Jiaojiao has to travel long distances to the capital at a young age. If I am around, she can give her some advice. What would she do if she breaks into something if I am not around..."

"What does this little thing mean? The big deal is that Song Ruyu won't go. Isn't it the same with you taking the children?" Shen Chusheng was very indifferent to this.

Aunt Liu hurriedly said: "This can't be the case. The post from the palace clearly stated that Madam was asked to go there. If I were Li Daitao, it would be our Shen family who would be embarrassed if I was discovered. But after saying this, I remembered one thing. , what kind of temper is Madam... Master, you also know that if Madam is like this when she goes to the palace, will it make people think that our Shen family are such cowardly people? Then it will be Shen who is embarrassed. Home, no matter what you say, it doesn’t matter if my wife goes, it doesn’t matter if she doesn’t go, things are really at a deadlock.”
