Shen Yulou's face was calm and calm. She looked at Shen Fengxu: "Everyone knows the filial piety of Sixth Sister. Yulou feels inferior."
She never argued, but the way she gave in and retreated made others feel that Shen Yulou was dignified and polite.
Shen Fengxu smiled and said: "If the eldest sister had taken care of my mother, I think such a thing would not have happened today."
"If someone intends to murder my mother, no matter you or I, what should happen will happen." Shen Yulou said calmly, "I naturally believe that Liu Mei did not murder her mother. It was just the one-sided words of this maid. Liu Mei You will be able to prove your innocence."
"Self-proven innocence?" Shen Fengxuxu raised her eyebrows slightly, and immediately laughed, "Why should I prove my innocence? Shouldn't she be the one who brought out the evidence that I murdered my mother? If not, I Why do you need to prove your innocence?"
Although there were only a few words between the two, the atmosphere had already solidified. All the ladies and girls who came to attend the banquet looked at each other in confusion. However, it was a matter of family affairs in Dong Ningbo Mansion, and it was inconvenient for others to gossip, let alone interfere.
"Feng Xu is right. If this maid intends to slander you, I will naturally not let her go." The eldest lady said coldly.
Shen Baitang sneered, with a chilling look on his face: "Hongzhu, you have to think clearly. You still have time to turn back. Otherwise, slandering the master of the house is a capital crime! Don't say it's you, None of your parents, brothers and sisters will be spared!"
Shen Baitang's tone was so serious that Hongzhu was so frightened that she took a step back.
"Second sister, why do you need to scare her?" Shen Yulou sighed softly, his voice melodious and sweet, "Since Hongzhu has something to say, just let her say it."
Chen Fengxu smiled when he heard this: "Yes, let Hongzhu say it."
After saying that, Shen Fengxu turned to look at Hongzhu and asked slowly: "Hongzhu, since you said that I murdered my mother, how did you know?"
Hongzhu lowered her head and said: "My maid was originally responsible for making medicinal soup for Madam, but in order to show her filial piety to Madam, the Sixth Girl had to boil the medicine for Madam herself, so the maid gave her the medicine she needed. The medicinal materials were sent to Guiyun Courtyard, but..."
When she said this, she burst into tears.
Chen Fengxu looked at Hongzhu with a half-smile.
What does it mean that she personally boiled medicine for the eldest lady to show her filial piety? It was clearly that the eldest lady used the word filial piety to force Shen Fengxu to make the soup. Now that something happened to the soup, she turned to slander Shen Fengxu.
But Shen Fengxu did not argue, but said: "You continue."
"But... maid, when I went to Guiyun Yuan to deliver the medicine, I saw with my own eyes that Miss Six had put poison in the soup." Hongzhu burst into tears suddenly, "My maid saw clearly that Miss Six had poison in her hands. He took some unknown powder and poured it into the soup."
Hongzhu spoke with tears in her eyes and was so sincere that others had no choice but to believe her.
But Shen Fengxu was still very calm: "In that case, why didn't you make it clear to the eldest lady before? Did you have to say it at this time?"
"My maid wanted to say it, but when she was about to go back, Miss Six saw me. She ordered someone to catch her and threatened her, saying that if she revealed the matter, she would kill her. Kill the servant girl's whole family." Hong Zhu burst into tears. As she spoke, she also lifted up her sleeves, revealing the bruises on her arms. "These wounds were caused by the cinnabar around the girl. What happened to the servant girl? Do you dare to disobey?"
Dansha knew that Shen Fengxu had his own methods, so he stood beside Shen Fengxu without saying a word. But now when he heard Hongzhu say this, he became furious and said: "What do you mean? When did I beat you? You don’t want to spit on anyone!”
Everyone's eyes fell on Cinsha.
Everyone in Dongning's Mansion knew that Dansha was a famously violent shrew, but others didn't know that when they saw Dansha now, she looked strong and fierce, and then turned to look at the thin and pitiful Hongzhu, they couldn't help but feel I felt a bit of pity.
When Hongzhu saw Dansha, she shrank back a few steps and said: "Cinsha... Dansha kept hitting the maid with a stick. Miss Six also threatened the maid with her family members. The maid had to obey... …The maid could only promise the Sixth Lady not to mention this matter, and then the Sixth Lady was willing to let the maid go back…”
"Oh?" Shen Fengxu's eyes seemed to be tempered with ice and snow, cold and frightening. She said, "In that case, Cinsha, go and lift her clothes off and see how many injuries she has suffered!"
Take off your clothes?
With one sentence, others were shocked and turned their attention.
Even though Hong Zhu was a maid, she was still a girl, so how could she lift her clothes in public?
But just as Dansha was about to step forward, Shen Yulou stopped him and said: "Wait a minute! Sixth sister, even if you resent this servant for not covering up for you, you can't ruin him like this. If you tease him in public, How can she get married and have children in the future if she doesn't wear clothes?"
She spoke every word as if Shen Fengxu was really guilty. In just a few words, Shen Fengxu had been convicted.
Chen Fengxu said calmly: "That's what the eldest sister said, then lift up your sleeves and see how serious the injury on your arm is."
Hongzhu suddenly became anxious and said hurriedly: "No!"
She only had scars on the part where she lifted up her sleeves. The rest of her sleeves were intact. Originally, she just wanted to pull off a trick, but Shen Fengxu didn't follow common sense and actually wanted to lift up her clothes. sleeve.
"Feng Xu, I'm afraid this is inappropriate." The eldest lady also stopped her, "This servant has already suffered such a serious injury, why do you need to add salt to her wounds?"
"Sprinkle salt on the wound?" Chen Fengxu smiled, and then said, "Cinsha, go and lift her sleeves!"
"yes."
After Dansha responded, she immediately stepped forward. Hongqu beside the eldest lady tried to step forward to stop Dansha, but was kicked away by Dansha. There were other maidservants on the side who came forward, but Dansha was still rude and fought with fists and kicks.
Everyone else was amazed and astonished.
There is such a shrew-like maidservant in this world, she is really fierce and fierce!
When the old lady saw this, the corners of her lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't speak and let Cinnabar do what she did.
Dansha grabbed Hongzhu's wrist and then lifted up her sleeves. She saw that her smooth and delicate skin was white without any scars. On the other arm, only the one she had just lifted up was bruised. There are mottled marks, but the rest is intact.
Hongzhu tried to struggle, but Dansha held her tightly.
Dan Sha asked loudly: "Didn't you say that your body is covered with scars from being beaten by me? Why are there none?! If I wanted to hit you, why would I only hit this one spot?"
At first, everyone else thought that what Hong Zhu said was true, but looking at the current situation, people became hesitant.
What Dansha said is right. If Dansha really hit the red beads, how could it be possible that there was only a scar on the ground on her arm? It must be bruises all over her body. Just looking at Dansha's fierce and fierce appearance, she knew that she would never She is easy to get along with, so naturally she is not a girl who shows mercy.
Everyone couldn't help but started talking.
The eldest lady's face was very ugly. How could she have expected that Shen Fengxu would do such a thing? Shen Fengxu didn't seem to value his reputation at all. He made such a move in public, even if the suspicion was cleared. So what? In the future, which family will marry such a shrewd and disrespectful girl back home?
"Hongzhu, why don't you explain why there is only one scar on your body?" Chen Fengxu said with a slight smile.
Hongzhu was at a loss for a while, but only after a moment, she started crying loudly and said: "How can the maid know why Miss Six did this? Miss Six specially only hit the servant's arm, just to give her a If you leave a way out for yourself, how can I dare not to obey? My entire family is tied to Miss Sixth's thoughts."
"It's really good at singing and chanting." Shen Fengxu smiled lightly, "If I really poisoned you and you saw it, why would I threaten you? Wouldn't it be simpler to kill you directly and leave you dead in the wilderness? As you said , not only is it a lot of trouble, but it also risks being exposed, isn’t it?”
"My maid belongs to the eldest lady. If my maid disappears while delivering medicine to Miss Sixth, the eldest lady will definitely become suspicious." Hongzhu covered her face and cried, "Everything my maid said is true! "
"Is every word true?" Shen Baitang's face was filled with coldness, "I don't know how many lies you have told, but you still have the nerve to say that every word of yourself is true? In this case, drag it out and hit a hundred big boards first, and then listen to it. Is it true or false?”
Hongzhu's body trembled.
One hundred big boards? How could she bear it? Even if she could save her life, she would definitely break a leg.
But fortunately, Shen Yulou spoke up in time, and her gentle voice was heard: "Second sister, this is not possible. If we really hit her, wouldn't we be beaten into submission?"
"Everything about this sycophant is full of flaws, do you still want to turn a blind eye, eldest sister?!" Shen Baitang said coldly, "Even killing her with a cane on the spot is an extrajudicial mercy!"
Shen Yulou smiled slightly and said: "I know that the second sister cares about the sixth sister, but the matter is very important. If we don't find out clearly, how can we clear the suspicion on the sixth sister?"
Shen Baitang was about to speak, but Shen Fengxu gently pulled Shen Baitang's sleeve and said loudly: "It's useless to talk more. Let the doctor come and see if there is any poison in this soup. "
"I just asked Hongqu to ask the doctor." The eldest lady frowned and looked at Hongqu, "Where is the doctor?"
Hongqu was also stunned: "My servant sent Hongxiao away. I don't know why Hongxiao hasn't come back yet."
"It seems that after my mother became ill, the maids around her became less and less dedicated." Chen Fengxu sighed and said, "You have to be lazy even in this kind of thing."
The implication is that the eldest lady has mismanaged her servants.
The eldest lady glanced at Chen Fengxu and said, "Hongqu, go and invite the doctor."
Hongqu responded: "Yes."
After that, he went to ask the doctor himself.
But after just a moment, Hongqu came back in despair. There was no blood on her face. She looked at the eldest lady in shock and said: "Madam, Hongxiao... is dead!"
The eldest lady's expression changed: "What did you say?"
No wonder Hongxiao didn't invite the eldest lady just now. It turned out that Hongxiao had already died on the way.
For a time, all the ladies and girls in Dongningbo's house also panicked. They came to Dongningbo's house as guests. It was fine that something like this happened in the house, but how could someone die in the house?
Chen Fengxu looked at it coldly.
"Where is the red yeast rice?" The eldest lady looked at the red yeast rice steadily.
Hongqu pointed to the bluestone path aside, swallowed, and said: "On that road, Hongxiao... Hongxiao's body is lying on the ground."
Everyone looked at each other in shock. It turned out to be just a show, but now why even dead people came out? It was too terrifying.
At this moment, a lady suddenly exclaimed: "My daughter is not back yet!"
Others quickly asked: "Mrs. Han, where has your daughter gone?"
Mrs. Han said anxiously: "My daughter was drunk just now. She went out to sober up, but she hasn't come back yet." After saying that, Mrs. Han stood up and went out to look for her.
That would be fine at other times, but now that she heard that someone had died in Uncle Dong Ning's house, Mrs. Han couldn't sit still.
The eldest lady calmed down and said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Han, I will send someone to look for you."
A group of ladies and girls also stood up. Some said goodbye and left, while others helped Mrs. Han to look for Miss Han. For a moment, the flower hall was in chaos.
Not long after, someone found Miss Han in the pavilion.
Mrs. Han hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Where have you been? I'm so worried about my mother."
Seeing so many people coming together, Miss Han was startled and said, "My daughter was drunk and stayed here for a while. Mom, why are so many people here all at once?"
Mrs. Han snorted coldly and said: "Someone died in Uncle Dong Ning's house. It's really unlucky. Let's not stay here anymore and go back quickly."
After Mrs. Han said that, she turned to look at the eldest lady and said: "Mrs. Shen, I'm sorry, let's take a step first."
The eldest lady had no reason to force the person to stay, so she could only reluctantly say: "Mrs. Han, walk slowly."
Others also said goodbye and left.
After something like this happened, naturally no one wanted to stay longer in Dongningbo's house.
After everyone had dispersed, Dong Ningbo's mansion suddenly became cold and quiet.
Shen Fengxu stood beside the flower hall and looked at Shen Yulou.
Shen Yulou also raised his eyes to look at Shen Fengxu, sighed softly, and said: "Sixth sister, you are too cruel and ruthless. Hongxiao just went to ask for a doctor. How could you kill her? Hers If my parents and family heard about Hung Hom’s death, wouldn’t they be heartbroken?”
"I don't understand what the eldest sister said. Now I don't even know how Hong Xiao died. Does the eldest sister believe that Hong Xiao was murdered by me?" Shen Fengxu shook his head and laughed, "It's inevitable for the eldest sister to doubt me so much. It’s so sad, Feng Xu is really wronged and innocent.”
"Hongxiao is a kind person and treats others with gentleness and generosity. If it hadn't been for this incident, I really can't think of any reason why others would deal with Hongxiao." Shen Yulou seemed to be worried, saying, "If it makes Sixth Sister unhappy, Yes, then it’s Yulou’s fault.”
While the two were talking, a maid came and said, "Master, please invite the two girls to the hall."
Shen Fengxu went to Shen Yulou and looked at each other, then they got up together and headed to the hall.
At this time, except for Shen Fengxu and Shen Yulou, everyone else in the hall was already present, including the old lady.
The second lady impatiently fanned the fan in her hand and said, "How could such a good servant die in the house?"
The old lady glanced at the second lady.
The eldest lady said calmly: "What did the doctor say?"
On the side, Hongqu lowered his head and said softly: "The doctor said that Hongxiao died of accidentally taking arsenic."
The second lady's expression suddenly changed: "What did you say? Arsenic?"
It sounds very scary.
Arsenic is highly poisonous, and anyone who takes it will definitely die, and the death will be miserable. It is a forbidden drug in every family, and it is also the same in Dongning Bo's house.
The second lady was horrified when she suddenly heard the name of arsenic.
She quickly asked: "Where did the arsenic come from?!"
Shen Yanning's eyes swept across the faces of everyone present and said word by word: "Go and check! Search everyone's room one by one."
The old lady also said coldly: "Fangzhu, take people with you too. Don't leave any corner behind."
"yes."
Shen Fengxu was always calm and calm. She sat casually aside, closing her eyes and falling asleep, seemingly not caring about what would happen soon.
But the second lady still chirped: "Arsenic is a very scary thing. If you are accidentally contaminated, your life may be at risk. I don't know who is so evil-minded that he would use arsenic to harm people."
Arsenic is a prohibited drug. Common maids not only do not have the money to buy arsenic, but they also have no means. The people who can buy arsenic must be the masters of the house.
This is why Shen Yanning summoned everyone here.
"Shut up!" The old lady glared at the second lady coldly, feeling that she was too noisy.
The second lady had no choice but to remain silent.
Even the noisiest second lady stopped talking, and the scene became eerily silent for a moment. There was no sound except the sound of breathing.
Shen Yulou looked at Shen Fengxu, but Shen Fengxu had been sleeping with his eyes closed. He didn't seem to care about everything that happened. He was so calm and calm. On the contrary, Shen Yulou felt a little uneasy in his heart for some reason.
Shen Fengxu has never been one to sit still and wait for death.
Shen Fengxu must have anticipated what happened today. Although the eldest lady's plan was flawless, Shen Fengxu was sharp-minded and sharp-tongued, which was evident just by looking at what she said to Hongzhu just now.
More than an hour passed, and the people who went to search just came back from outside.
Fangzhu walked in from the door with a small cloth bag in her hand, her face slightly ugly.
When the eldest lady saw this, the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously.
Come to think of it, Shen Fengxu is bound to die today. He caused such a big incident in front of others at the banquet today. Shen Yanning must be angry in his heart, but he just suppressed it and didn't let it out. Now he will be in Shen Fengxu again Arsenic was found in Guiyun Courtyard. No matter how good-tempered Shen Yanning was, Shen Fengxu could not escape disaster. What's more, Shen Yanning was never a gentle and generous head of the family.
Seeing Fangzhu come in, the old lady asked, "What did you find?"
Fangzhu shook his head in embarrassment and said, "Old madam, I didn't find any arsenic."
The eldest lady's complexion suddenly changed: "How could it be possible that arsenic was not found? Hong Kong's death was indeed caused by arsenic. How could there be no arsenic?"
Fangzhu glanced at Madam and said calmly: "Madam, there is indeed no arsenic."
The second lady breathed a sigh of relief: "It's fine if not."
Arsenic is no joke, it can really kill people. She has a great life now, and she cannot let it be ruined by arsenic.
However, the two daughters of the Second Madam were more calm than the Second Madam. Shen Yujia even tugged on the Second Madam's sleeves and reminded her in a low voice, "Mom, don't say these things in front of the old Madam."
Fangzhu walked forward with the small cloth bag in his hand and said: "Old madam, although I didn't find arsenic, I did find this thing."
As she spoke, she opened the small cloth bag in her hand.
On the small cloth bag was a little man sewn with cloth. The stitches on it were obvious, and there were seven silver needles inserted into the little man. There were also a few big characters written on the little man's body, which seemed to be someone's. ’s birthday and horoscope.
But the contents of the little cloth bag didn't end there. After Fangzhu took out the little figure, there was a painting underneath. As Fangzhu unfolded it, people couldn't help but be horrified.
The second lady was so frightened that she even screamed.
It was a picture of a female ghost with disheveled hair. The painting was so lifelike that it seemed as if there was a real female ghost attached to the scroll, as if she was about to burst out of the scroll at any time.
The second lady hurriedly shouted: "Take these dirty things away quickly! They won't stain the eyes of others!"
The old lady's face suddenly turned cold, like a thousand-year-old glacier. She asked sharply: "Where did you find this?"
Fang Zhu glanced at Chen Fengxu and said, "Back to the old lady, I found this servant in the Rongxue Courtyard."
Everyone then looked at Chen Fengxu. Shen Fengxu then opened his eyes and glanced at what Fangzhu was holding, and suddenly wondered: "Rongxue Courtyard? Hasn't Rongxue Courtyard been burned down?"
Fangzhu nodded and said: "Rongxueyuan burned down a few days ago, and it has been rebuilt recently. My maid found these things in the ruins of Rongxueyuan."
Chen Fengxu raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the sewn little man, and suddenly said in surprise: "Aren't the birthday numbers on it mine?"
After Shen Fengxu said this, the old lady came back to her senses and looked at the little man. After looking carefully, she found that the words on it were indeed Shen Fengxu's birth date, and these things were on Shen Fengxu's birthday. They were searched in the Melting Snow Courtyard. There is no doubt that someone wants to use these to curse Shen Fengxu.
"Feng Xu heard that there is a magic trick in the world, which is to use these things to curse people. If it comes true, they will die without a burial place. At the least, one person will die, and at worst, the whole family will be restless and destroyed." Shen Feng Xu said, seeming very frightened.
Shen Baitang also sneered and said: "I have also heard that if you hide a picture of a female ghost in a room, the occupant will be unable to sleep at night, and will definitely die in half a year!"
It's an extremely vicious thing.
Everyone was silent for a moment. How could such a vicious thing appear in Uncle Dong Ning's mansion? Moreover, the birth date of Shen Fengxu was written on it. It was obvious that someone had the intention to curse Shen Fengxu.
Fangzhu took a look at everyone's faces and said, "I also found some of the same villains in Jinfang Courtyard."
Shen Yulou's expression suddenly changed: "What did you say?"
Shen Yanning immediately frowned, looked at Shen Yulou, and said, "Yulou, why is there such a thing in your yard?"
Seeing Shen Yanning looking over, Shen Yulou hurriedly stood up and said, "Father, Yulou doesn't have it. Yulou never puts these things in the room. I don't know where these things come from."
Chen Fengxu's voice was cold and thin, and he said: "This technique of hating victory is also very powerful. Hiding these things at home will definitely make the family restless, and may even lead to the death of the family. Regardless of whether it is the eldest sister or not, using the technique of hating victory in the house The heart of a person with such skill can be punished!"
Shen Yanning's face became increasingly ugly.
"How could Yulou do such a thing!" The eldest lady raised her voice and said, "Such dirty things must have been placed in the Yulou courtyard by others."
As the eldest lady spoke, her eyes were as sharp as a knife and she glanced at Chen Fengxu.
"How can others enter the eldest sister's yard?" Shen Fengxu said softly, "There are so many people in the house, why do they find these things in the eldest sister's yard? Even if the eldest sister resents me, it can't be used. Are you tired of winning? This will endanger the lives of everyone in the house."
The second lady agreed: "Yes, how can a big girl use something as vicious as the art of hating victory?"
This thing not only has Shen Fengxu's birth date written on it, but it was also found in the Melting Snow Courtyard where Shen Fengxu used to live. Naturally, it is impossible for Shen Fengxu to curse himself, and the remaining things are indeed in Found in Jinfang Courtyard.
Shen Yanning had to doubt Shen Yulou.
But how could his eldest daughter, who had always been gentle, obedient and well-educated, do such a thing?
So Shen Yanning looked at Shen Yulou and asked solemnly: "Yulou, have you ever done this?"
Shen Yulou shook his head, his face was slightly pale, but he managed to calm down and said: "Yulou doesn't have it."
The things were searched in Shen Yulou's room, and Fang Zhu, who was beside the old lady, searched it personally. There was no way anyone else could have cheated on her. Shen Yulou knew that it was difficult to prove his innocence, but she believed that Shen Yanning would trust her. So she was still very calm.
Shen Yanning took a deep breath and said, "That's it, let's check again!"
However, the old lady suddenly smashed the teacup in her hand. The teacup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. Tea splashed everywhere, and the sound of shattering shocked everyone.
The old lady was very angry and shouted: "Eldest son, I know you like this girl Yulou, but if you are not punished for such a crime, will there be any rules in the Dongning Mansion in the future? With the solid evidence, just one sentence You can get away with just words. If everyone behaves like this, there will probably be chaos in the house in the future!"
What the old lady said is absolutely true.
But Shen Yanning couldn't bear to let Shen Yanning punish his beloved Shen Yulou.
Shen Fengxu spoke softly and said, "Fengxu doesn't think the eldest sister should be punished."
The eldest lady and Shen Yulou turned to look at Shen Fengxu at the same time, wondering what Shen Fengxu wanted.
But Shen Fengxu just said calmly: "Father, the eldest sister has been selected as the princess's companion. She will always be by the ninth princess's side in the future. If she is punished for this matter today, and if others hear about it, why not?" I know how I would talk about my eldest sister, that was fine in the past, but now that my eldest sister has to go in and out of the palace, she must not have such a stain."
What Shen Fengxu said is right.
Shen Yanning looked at Shen Fengxu with a softer look and said, "Yes, even if Yulou is at fault, he cannot be punished for the time being."
He was originally thinking about how to keep Shen Yulou under the old lady's words, but Shen Fengxu's words were just right.
Shen Yulou looked at Shen Fengxu in disbelief.
Why?
Why does Shen Fengxu want to help her? The situation in front of her is clearly caused by Shen Fengxu, but Shen Fengxu still wants to intercede on her behalf?
But Chen Fengxu's eyes were cold and cold.
If Shen Yanning were to punish Shen Yulou, it would only be a mild punishment. It would be better to suppress the matter first and then put Shen Yulou to death when it is brought up in the future.
After all, no one in the palace would have sympathy for Shen Yulou. By then, it would naturally be Shen Yulou's death.
Shen Yulou looked at Shen Fengxu with complicated eyes and said, "Sixth sister, thank you very much... I think Sixth sister should also know that I have never done such a thing."
Shen Fengxu just smiled and said: "I just think that the eldest sister should not be punished. As for whether the eldest sister has done such a thing, it is better for the eldest sister to know better. Why do you need to explain to me?"
The eldest lady glanced at Chen Fengxu coldly, and then said to Hongqu, "Take these dirty things out and burn them quickly."
The second lady looked at those things with disgust and said, "It's really bad luck."
On the side, Shen Yuning suddenly whispered: "The death of Hong Xiao has not yet been determined."
Not only Hong Xiao's death, but also Hong Zhu's words, coupled with the victory-weary technique just now, the several things that happened one after another in the house today are naturally exhausting both physically and mentally.
Shen Yanning's eyes were slightly cold and he said: "Hongzhu's words are confusing. He must have deliberately framed Fengxu and killed him on the spot. Hongxiao's death needs to be found out. If any of the relevant things today are leaked, all the maids will be beaten." Kill!"
The life of the maid in the house is not worth anything.
Shen Fengxu knew that the reason why Shen Yanning chose to kill Hongzhu with a stick was partly because the words between Shen Fengxu and Hongzhu at the banquet were indeed suspicious, and Hongzhu's words did not match his words. The words clearly show that Shen Fengxu is innocent.
Secondly, Shen Fengxu had just spoken out to plead for Shen Yulou. Shen Yanning had always loved Shen Yulou and naturally did not want to punish Shen Yulou, but the situation at that time had to punish him. Fortunately, Shen Fengxu intervened.
It was clearly Shen Yulou who cursed Shen Fengxu with the art of hating victory, but Shen Fengxu could still plead for Shen Yulou so magnanimously and calmly.
Although the eldest lady hated Shen Fengxu, since Shen Yulou was fine, the eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Shen Fengxu with an even colder look.
So what if Shen Fengxu tried his best? Shen Yanning still dotes on this eldest daughter. Even if Shen Yulou did such a thing, Shen Yanning would not be willing to punish Shen Yulou.
After the matter was over, everyone dispersed.
After Shen Fengxu left the hall, Shen Yulou stopped Shen Fengxu.
Shen Fengxu raised his eyes and looked at Shen Yulou, and asked in confusion: "It's so late, what are you doing standing here? Sister is going to the palace in a few days, shouldn't you be well prepared?"
