Chapter 141 It’s easy to ask God but hard to send him away
"What, on the first day of the Lunar New Year I also want to go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony with you to attend the congratulations?"
On the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, Chu Yao came back from the palace and informed Shi Fuxin that he was going to attend a pilgrimage on the first day of the lunar new year.
Shi Fuxin was very surprised: "What's going on?"
Chu Yao's face was not very good: "When I went to court today, the Minister of Civil Affairs suddenly suggested that the top ten imperial merchants had donated so much money to the court and should participate in the pilgrimage and celebration."
As he said that, he looked at Shi Fuxin and said, "The Minister of Civil Affairs belongs to the prince."
Shi Fuxin: "All the top ten royal merchants will participate?"
Chu Yao said 'hmm': "The prince never does useless things. He must have other plans here. Ever since the battle between Dong Jian and I, the hostility between us and the prince has been put on the table.
”
"The Queen Mother's matter is of great concern. No matter whether I find anything or not, for the Prince, he will feel at ease only if I shut up completely. I'm afraid that he will take risks and do something crazy."
"So, you must be careful that day."
Shi Fuxin nodded: "Don't worry, I will be careful."
Time flies, and the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month arrives. According to custom, on this day every family has to visit the graves to make offerings to their ancestors. The royal family and clan members all go to the ancestral hall of the ancestral home to make offerings to their ancestors with the New Year’s goods they have prepared.
Early in the morning, the masters of Prince Rong's Mansion, led by Prince Rong and Princess Rong, got on the carriage and went to the Zongren Mansion.
When going out, Shi Fuxin saw Princess Guan taking Guan Xiuyan with her. A chill flashed through her eyes, and she caught sight of the mocking looks on Luo Qilan and Tang Shan's face, and got on the carriage expressionlessly.
Chu Yao was annoyed and troubled by Princess Guan's behavior.
He knew that the concubine had always wanted an obedient daughter-in-law, but Shiliu's temperament was exactly the opposite of what she wanted; and for Shiliu, the concubine was not someone who could make her respect her elders.
Shiliu has a fierce temper, and the mother-in-law is no match for her, but she occupies the identity of mother-in-law. Even if she can't control Shiliu openly, she can still find various opportunities and ways to embarrass Shiliu secretly. Cousin Guan is the most suitable one.
Candidates.
"Third brother, the relationship between the princess and the third brother and sister is so alienated, and you don't even try to persuade them to make peace."
Chu Zhao looked at Chu Yao with gloating.
Chu Yao glanced at him sideways: "Second brother is becoming more and more promising now. He even gets involved in women's affairs. Oh, I forgot. Apart from women's affairs, second brother seems to have nothing else to do.
”
After saying that, he smiled sarcastically and rode away.
Chu Zhao was hit by Chu Yao's words and looked at Chu Yao's back with a sinister expression.
Chu Yao rode a horse and walked at the front of the palace team, his face was not good.
Doesn’t he want to reconcile the relationship between his mother-in-law and Shiliu?
Of course he does.
But, he can't do it!!!
No matter whether it is his mother or concubine, or Shiliu, they care about him far more than they care about themselves.
For the mother-in-law, the most important thing is to control her daughter-in-law and her mother-in-law. As for whether her son is happy or not, it is not her concern;
For Shiliu, it is impossible to bow to her mother-in-law, who is unreasonable and wants to suppress her at every turn. His feelings as a husband must come second to hers.
Concubine Mu and Shiliu, even if one of them really cared about him, they would compromise a little for him, but neither of them did.
Chu Yao sneered, his smile was a little weak and sad.
One is his mother and the other is his wife. Neither of the two women who are most important to him really takes him to heart.
In the carriage behind, An Ran complained to Shi Fuxin in a low voice: "What are you doing, Princess, bringing a concubine with you? Isn't this your face, Madam?"
Shi Fuxin smiled sarcastically: "With such a mother, Chu Yao is quite pitiful."
Nanny Leng was hesitant to speak, moved her lips and finally swallowed her words.
When Shi Fuxin saw it, she smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, grandma, just say it."
Aunt Leng: "...If Madam can be a little more accommodating to the Princess, the Third Master will be very happy."
Shi Fuxin immediately said: "I have already followed the princess's wishes. Every time she greets me, she makes me unhappy. I don't care about her at all."
Aunt Leng considered it for a moment and said: "On an occasion like today, if you compete with the princess, the third master will be embarrassed."
Shi Fuxin hummed and said, "Then what do you want me to do? It's the princess who is causing trouble, not me! I can't force her to do anything or not."
Aunt Leng looked at Shi Fuxin, who was fuming, and said again: "In private, Madam has done a very good job of caring and understanding the Third Master; but Madam cannot neglect her respect for the Third Master when she is away from home." p>
"Third Master is a man, he should be very concerned about other people's opinions."
After hearing this, Shi Fuxin said irritably: "I still overestimate myself. Before marrying Chu Yao, I thought I could handle the relationship with everyone in the palace. After marrying in, I found that it was not so easy." Although she had to pay for her choice, Shi Fuxin couldn't help but complained: "Why do I have to deal with such a mother-in-law? It's so annoying."
Aunt Leng and An Ran looked at each other and smiled silently.
......
After arriving at the clan's residence, Shi Fuxin followed the female family members of Prince Rong's residence step by step, doing whatever they were told.
After asking the ancestors to pay tribute, the men will gather together to talk, and the women will also sit together to talk about household affairs.
Shi Fuxin didn't like such an occasion very much, so she wandered alone in the yard.
Among the female relatives, Shi Fuxin was more familiar with Xiahou Huanyan, but today Xiahou Huanyan was restrained by Princess Gong, and she was greeting the elders one by one, so Shi Fuxin could only go shopping alone.
After shopping for less than a quarter of an hour, Guan Xiuyan came over.
"Cousin, my mother-in-law asked me to call you over, saying that I want to introduce you to someone."
Shi Fuxin looked at Guan Xiuyan with some surprise: "Why did my mother-in-law ask you to come to me?"
Guan Xiuyan: "I have nothing to do."
Shi Fuxin said "hmm" and asked Guan Xiuyan to lead the way.

"Why don't you go back to the main hall?"
Seeing Guan Xiuyan leading her towards the backyard of the Zongren Mansion, Shi Fuxin asked.
Guan Xiuyan: "Sister-in-law said that some old princesses were going to the guest house at the back to have a rest, so she asked us to go there to find them."
Shi Fuxin looked at Guan Xiuyan and saw that her expression was the same, so she turned her eyes and looked around: "Didn't my mother ask you to call me? Why is there still something about my sister-in-law?"
Guan Xiuyan was stunned for a moment: "When I came to find you, I happened to meet my sister-in-law, and then my sister-in-law told me that my mother-in-law followed the old princess and the others to the backyard."
Soon, the two came to an empty courtyard.
"Hey, why is there no one?"
Shi Fuxin looked at Guan Xiuyan who looked confused and didn't see anything strange on her face.
"Sister-in-law obviously told me to be here."
When Guan Xiuyan saw Shi Fuxin looking at her, she thought she thought he was lying to her, so she quickly said: "Maybe I heard wrong. How about you wait for me here, cousin, and I'll go find my sister-in-law."
Shi Fuxin looked at Guan Xiuyan, smiled and nodded: "Okay." After saying that, she looked at An Ran and Aunt Leng, "You two follow Aunt Guan and bring me some refreshments. I'm hungry." Aunt Leng wanted to say that An Ran should go and stay while she stayed, but when she saw the look in Shi Fuxin's eyes, she immediately stopped talking and followed Guan Xiuyan away with her head lowered and her eyes worried.
As soon as they left, Shi Fuxin stepped directly into the room.
As soon as I entered the door, I held my breath. After a few breaths, my whole body fell limply to the ground.
Then, several masked men in black appeared in the room.
The leading man in black looked at Shi Fuxin who was lying unconscious on the ground, his brows knotted.
This mission seemed a little too easy, and Shi Fuxin just sent away the mother-in-law and maid beside her, which seemed to be intentional.
Could it be that she had discovered them earlier?
"Palace Master?"
Seeing Dongjian standing still, the other men in black were a little puzzled.
"Shua~"
Dong Jian suddenly drew out his sword and stabbed straight towards the ground.
"呲~"
Shi Fuxin was wearing a purple skirt, and the purple sleeves on her arms were instantly dyed red.
Dong Jian looked at the unconscious Shi Fuxin without blinking, and saw her brows furrowed and a look of pain on her face, but her eyes were still closed.
People who are in a coma can still feel pain. If Shi Fuxin was in disguise, she would most likely be able to control her facial expressions, but she didn't.
Really in a coma?!
Dong Jian was still not at ease, so he pressed the sword in his hand against Shi Fuxin's body, moved it to her heart bit by bit, and then slowly stabbed it in.
Seeing Shi Fuxin's expression of pain, the blood on her chest was seeping more and more, and if she continued to stab her, she would hurt her heart. However, she still looked unconscious, so Dongjian stopped his hand.
It seems that the ability of this Shennong Hall leader has been exaggerated!
