As for why he was spared his life, it was probably because she wanted to see whose family sent the person. Fortunately, she was prepared, otherwise she would have been the one who fell just now.
…
The imperial physician who stayed at the Gu family personally checked Mrs. Song's pulse and said nothing in front of Gu Jingheng. But when he left the inner room, he shook his head at Lord Gu.
This Dr. Zhang is still related to the Gu family, so he did not hide it from Mr. Gu. He said to Mr. Gu, "My wife hurt her body when she gave birth to the child. She is really too weak. In addition, my body is already poisonous. I
Even if you are extremely capable, you would not dare to give me medicine at will because I am afraid that the medicine will be too strong and my wife will not be able to withstand it, which will injure your roots. I would rather focus on conditioning first to preserve my wife’s vitality!”
When Lord Gu heard this, he felt very complicated. Before he could say a few words to the imperial doctor, the steward came in and whispered a few words to Lord Gu.
Lord Gu's expression changed, he thought for a moment, glanced at the Song family without saying anything, and finally just ordered the people around him to wait carefully, and then left the Song family's courtyard with Gu Jingheng.
Seeing Mr. Gu's footsteps in a hurry, Mrs. Song took the decoction offered by Nanny Ding and whispered, "Go to the front yard and ask if there is something wrong with the Shen family!"
Aunt Ding said yes, watched Mrs. Song finish the soup, and then left with the bowl in hand.
After a while, Nanny Ding came back very quickly.
She closed the door and walked around the brazier... Sitting on the bed, Ms. Song motioned for her to drink the tea on the table next to her.
Nanny Ding took a tea cup and sat on the low table under Song's couch. After drinking it, she wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, raised her head and said to Mrs. Song, "Master Shen and Mrs. Shen of the Shen family are here."
, came to the door of the mansion with the engagement gift, and asked the master to return the eldest daughter of the Shen family's gengzi, and then the marriage between the two mansions was abandoned. The marriage of men and women in the two families has nothing to do with each other. "
"I even went to take a look...all the things were displayed and lined up in two rows along the long street for about five miles. It was very noisy! The most annoying thing...the masters of the Shen family refused to enter the Shen Mansion.
I only talk to the master at the door of the house."
Mrs. Song was startled. Although she was surprised, it was also expected.
Such a scandal happened to the Gu family, how could the Shen family not feel resentful, so Master Shen's move was completely in line with common sense.
He was also sure that the master valued reputation, so he only stood at the door of Gu's house without entering.
Even if the Gu family is really being bullied and cannot swallow this breath, in the morning meeting tomorrow, there will be few people who will say that the Shen family's behavior is common sense...
If Mrs. Song's guess is correct...
The master will definitely instruct the housekeeper to exchange the Geng Tie with the Shen family as soon as possible.
By the way, someone would also send a gift to ask for forgiveness from the Shen family, but I was afraid that the Shen family would definitely not accept it, and would only say that the Shen and Gu families would have nothing to do with each other from now on.
After all, everyone in Kyoto knew about this incident, and the Shen family also expressed their feelings in front of the emperor. If they accepted the Gu family's apology, I'm afraid someone would make a fuss about this matter, saying that Miss Shen's relationship with Gu Xiaohou
I have feelings.
"Ma'am, do you want to go out and take a look?"
When Grandma Ding saw Mrs. Song getting up from the bed, she also stood up and asked.
"No... people... the Gu family has already been offended, and there is nothing to see! Pass the hot water..."
After Ms. Song became ill, she had to sweat every day, and now she was a little tired!
Aunt Ding quickly put down the teacup in her hand and went out to pass water to help Mrs. Song wash up.
Mrs. Song dipped her feet into the hot water in the copper basin and said softly, "Early tomorrow morning, find a way to go out and meet the Lu family and find out about the reputation of the Lu family's concubine! You must be careful and don't let the Lu family see you.
Get a clue."
Nanny Ding knelt down and helped Mrs. Song wash her feet, "Old slave, I know."
"But this old slave doesn't understand. You can go and inquire openly, so why should you do it quietly? The concubine of the Lu family will enter the house sooner or later. You are her mother-in-law. Isn't it justifiable to do these things?"
Nanny Ding had been with Mrs. Song since she was a child. Although she felt that Mrs. Song's move was unnecessary, she still handled the matter dutifully according to Mrs. Song's instructions.
Ms. Song beat her sore feet and said, "I rarely attend court banquets, but I still know a thing or two about this Lu family's daughter. She doesn't look as good as the Shen family, and her behavior is not decent. What do you think?"
Will Heng'er abandon the Miss Shen family and really fall in love with the concubine of the Lu family?"
This is what Song is worried about, she is afraid that all this will...
First, he showed off his talents at the Plum Blossom Banquet, then the carriage broke down and he happened to meet Heng'er, and Heng'er happened to meet the concubine of the Lu family being bullied by her aunt...
Then there was the New Year's Eve palace banquet, so many people just happened to happen upon it?
Why did Heng'er appear there, and that letter...
If the Lu family had known themselves, they would not have kept biting Heng'er and made such nonsense that they did not want to be a concubine. She was a woman who was caught and lost her virginity. If Heng'er was willing to take her, he should burn incense and worship Buddha.
Mrs. Song told Aunt Ding to be careful when making inquiries this time. It would be best to find someone who works in the Lu family to ask. If the concubine of the Lu family is really stupid, then forget it. She is just afraid that she is a rich person.
Ambitious.
At this time, it is best for her to stay peacefully in the Lu family and wait for marriage, otherwise all this will make sense.
…
Light snow falls one after another.
Shen Zi stood above the restaurant and looked at the Gu family not far away.
Looking at the crowded streets, I couldn't see the things sent by the Shen family at a glance.
Shen Zi suddenly remembered that on the day the Gu family delivered the things, she had some expectations in her heart.
Gu Jingheng was talented, and he was the only son of Mr. Gu Hou. Mrs. Gu Hou loved him like his eyes, and there were many young ladies from aristocratic families around him who followed him.
When she and her mother went to the palace banquet for the first time, Gu Jingheng stood out among the other young men, standing out like a sore thumb.
The previous state of mind was no longer there after she was reborn.
Shen Zi felt sad but had no regrets.
Gu Jingheng just lost his reputation, but he lost a close relative back then. Who can understand the pain she felt at that time?
Shen Zi is not that forgetful about everything Lu Li and Gu Jingheng did to her.
"Miss, it's snowing heavily, we should go back." Shen Zi stood at the window for a long time and heard Ling Shuang whisper in her ear.
Shen Zi nodded, said, "Let's go!" and turned around to leave.
She didn't see that there was a pair of eyes in the private room next door, staring straight at her.
After seeing her come downstairs, he quietly left.
Shen Zi walked slowly back to Shen Mansion with Ling Shuang holding an umbrella. By coincidence, she saw Gu Jingheng's attendant waiting at the intersection halfway.
The attendant cupped his fists and saluted Shen Zi, then turned and said, "Miss Shen, the young master wants to see you."
Ling Shuang immediately stopped in front of the attendant and said coldly, "Is this the Gu family's family tradition? My young lady has nothing to say to your young master, please come back!"
