The Lofty Fierce Consort

Chapter 74

After Luo Huaiyuan and Shen Qi stayed in Zhuangzi for a few days, Yan Yan discovered a problem.

Luo Xiaopang is very popular with her mother, and he seems to like to be close to her mother. In the past few days, when I went to Jinhuatang for breakfast every day, I could see him sitting with him early, making her mother smile.

Moreover, in the past, breakfast was not restricted to where it was used. Yan Yan practiced martial arts in the morning, and she always used it at Guiyan Pavilion. These few days are strange. When she was about to eat breakfast, Shen Yiyao asked the maid to invite her. Of course, there is also Yan Mo, Shen Xiaoer, a bear child who can’t get up in the morning, sometimes comes, sometimes doesn’t come.

Yan Yan’s mood is very strange.

After enduring for two days, he finally stole the space and called Luo Huaiyuan to the side for questioning.

“Don’t you think this is good?” Luo Huaiyuan said with a smile.

Yan Yan was taken aback, “What do you mean?”

Luo Huaiyuan sighed and said, “Auntie is your mother after all. Isn’t she changing? I can feel that she is actually suffering a lot, but I don’t know who to tell.”

Yan Yan was shocked and did not speak.

No one knows whether Yan Yan has listened to Luo Huaiyuan’s words. In short, Yan Yan will now take the initiative to say a few words to Shen Yiyao. Although he didn’t say much and his face was still stiff, he still made progress. .

Luo Huaiyuan and Shen Qi couldn’t always stay at Zhuangzi and never go back. They stayed for a few days before they left. Before leaving, Shen Yiyao repeatedly said to let the two of them come when they were free, with a rather sad expression, Luo Huaiyuan and Shen Qiju agreed with a smile.

In the afternoon, Mother Zou came to report that someone had arrived in the house.

This mansion is naturally not elsewhere, but Weiyuanhou Mansion.

This is the first time that Shen Yiyao has come from the Weiyuan Hou Mansion. Yan Yan asked who it was. Zou’s mother said that it was Zhao’s mother next to the old lady. She wanted to see her if she had something to do.

“You rest, I’ll take a look.”

Yan Yan didn’t give Shen Yiyao a chance to express her opinion, so she left straight away.

Shen Yiyao opened her mouth, looked at her daughter’s back and sighed.

Cuiqiao looked at her expression, and whispered from the side: “Three girls, I am afraid that you will be embarrassed by you, and the old lady will definitely not do anything good if she finds you.”

Since that time, Cui Qiao has spoken boldly in front of Shen Yiyao, and she can see that his wife is not unwilling to listen to this, but no one has said these truths in front of her before. It’s all demons and ghosts telling lies to coax people, and it’s no wonder that the lady treats bad people as good people.

“I know, it’s just—” Shen Yiyao paused, then turned to a sigh, “Forget it, let A Yan take care of it.”

Yan Yan didn’t go to see Mama Zhao, but asked Mama Zou to ask the details inside, and dismissed them by the way. She wouldn’t be surprised if her father came here, and it was worth thinking about when Mother Zhao came.

Not long after, Mother Zou came back to reply, saying that Mother Zhao was indeed ill, and she seemed to be very anxious. But she didn’t ask her anything, she just said that she wanted to see her husband.

Zou’s mother urged that his wife was ill and sent her away.

Yan Yan didn’t know what was happening in the capital at this time. After thinking about it, Yan Yan sent someone back to investigate. When Yan Yan left, Ningxiang Pavilion kept people looking at the house, and all the eyeliners in the past were also there. It shouldn’t be too difficult to inquire about small things.

It’s really not that embarrassing, because the old lady’s family came to the mansion and there was a lot of noise. The people in the whole mansion knew that Pei’s family had suffered a great disaster. The people Yan Yan sent back didn’t have any trouble finding the news, and even the news that Mrs. Pei went to Rong’antang to cry every day.

Combining the affairs of Pei’s family, coupled with the sudden arrival of Zhao’s mother, what the old lady was thinking in her heart was self-evident.

Yan Yan did not hesitate to tell Shen Yiyao about the incident, and described the situation in the capital at this time.

Shen Yiyao’s face was red and white.

No one will be right after changing it. Let’s not mention the previous divorce, just talk about this time. When the co-author is available to me, I will come in, and when I don’t need it, I will ignore it?

If this were the time when I was still stupid before, wouldn’t I let people go back to my natal family for help with a few words?

In the past, imperial examination fraud was not a trivial matter. There were a lot of involvement behind it. Even if Shen Yiyao didn’t understand the seriousness of it, she knew it was no trivial matter just by listening to her daughter. I really went back to my natal family, did my natal family help or not? If she doesn’t help, she will cry for help, and it will be very embarrassing for her father and brother who loves her. If you help, get into trouble for your family.

In fact, many things are unthinkable, especially for the kind of people who suddenly become aware of them. When total trust, dependence, and goodwill are completely destroyed, not only the long-established outlook on life, but also the trust in human nature will collapse.

Shen Yiyao was even thinking, this Pei family must have done something to corrupt the law, or why didn’t they imprison others, so he was involved?

Secondly, I think again, this servant Pei is the father of Aunt Pei, how can the old lady be confident that she will help? Especially after Aunt Pei has harmed herself one after another? Does Yan Ting know about this?

He must know, although he cannot be seen from the surface.

Like many things before, the old lady has always acted as a black face in front, and he doesn’t say much. When things are as they wish, he will say a hard-working lady with a blank expression, mother is really ignorant. When things don’t go as they wish, he will appear and say that he doesn’t know about it, and I will deal with it with my mother…

In the past, she felt that she was married to a good husband, a good husband, and between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the husband always turned to her. She even felt ashamed that she had robbed her husband of love, and she doubled her filial piety to the old lady.

But what about the facts? The facts are unsustainable!

Thinking about the silly things that she had done before, Shen Yiyao was suddenly overwhelmed by the overwhelming shame.

In the past, she always couldn’t figure out what Dad scolded her, and even felt vaguely resentful in her heart. She felt that Dad was too arbitrary and domineering, and even made such a ruthless judgment on her without listening to her explanation.

Thinking about it at this time, Dad is really right. She is indeed a loyal and traitor. She is not distinguished between right and wrong, so confused…

Shen Yiyao’s face was so pale, she stood up and walked into the bedroom. Cui Qiao looked at the back of Madam, then looked at the third girl, and said in a low voice, “Don’t worry about the third girl, the maidservant will try to persuade her.”

Yan Yan nodded.

…

When it was time for dinner, there was still no one from Jinhuatang to invite Yan Yan and Yan Mo to dinner. This situation is very strange.

After a while, a little girl came and said that sister Cuiqiao said that the lady hadn’t used food yet.

Yan Mo was writing big characters and looked up at his sister. Mei Xiang stuffed the girl a few large sums of money, and then sent her away.

Yan Yan felt her younger brother watching her, and said in a deep voice, “You must concentrate on writing.”

Yan Mo hurriedly acted as if he was sitting upright, but made Yan Yan laugh. She took the brush in Yan Mo’s hand and put it on the inkstone, “You go to the Jinhuatang and use it for dinner.”

Yan Mo was taken aback, after a while, he understood.

Asked the maid to put on shoes for him and put on a big satin hairy cloak, Yan Mo asked Mother Dong to take him to the Jinhuatang.

Nowadays, under normal circumstances, Yan Mo didn’t let her mother-in-law hug him, but left by himself.

I went all the way to the Jinhuatang, where it was quiet enough to be heard.

The maids were all light-handed, and when Yan Mo came, they greeted and saluted quietly.

When I entered the bedroom, the nine gilt Suzaku lights in the corner of the room only burned two, so the light in the room was not very bright, but it was not dark. The faint yellow light reflected on the big red gold woven carpet on the ground, making the whole room like a cage of golden yarn. Walking inside is a black lacquered bed with snails, tints, flowers, and butterflies. The lotus and blue curtains full of embroidered flowers and birds hang softly and half-dangling, concealing the situation inside.

“Madam, the Fourth Young Master is here.” Cui Qiao said in a low voice, as if she was afraid of disturbing someone.

“Mother, why are you still sleeping, Amo is hungry.”

Hearing this sound, there was a rustling sound on the bed, and Shen Yiyao’s slightly hoarse voice sounded inside.

“Mo’er, mother accidentally slept, you let the girl serve some snacks first, mother will come right away.”

Yan Mo asked Mother Dong to take it out. Cui Qiao stepped forward to hang up the outer curtain. Seeing Shen Yiyao, who was leaning on the bedpost, with red eyes, she didn’t say anything, and motioned to the **** the side to pick up the washbasin. Come and hot water.

After refreshing slightly, Shen Yiyao deliberately asked Cui Qiao to press some makeup powder under her eyes before leaving.

Supper had been prepared long ago and was arranged by Cui Qiao. At this moment, seeing the Fourth Young Master come to accompany his wife to have a meal, Cui Qiao ordered it to be placed on the Kang table in the Xi Nuan Pavilion.

“Has A Yan used it?”

“Sister uses it in Guiyan Pavilion.”

Before leaving, Yan Mo heard Mei Xiang tell the little girl to pass the meal.

Shen Yiyao picked up a chopsticks dish for her son, and said softly: “If you are hungry, eat more.”

Yan Mo took two bites and looked up at her, looking very carefully.

After a long time, he sighed, “You eat too, be obedient.”

Shen Yiyao looked at her son and saw his appearance as a small adult. Some wanted to laugh, but the laughter trembled so much that she didn’t dare to come out.

Yan Mo said again, “You think I am very obedient. If you are not obedient, Auntie will let me coax you. I don’t know how to coax you. I am very sad.”

The shy little man who has always been shy and reticent suddenly made such a look, so that the maid beside him couldn’t bear to be a little handsome. Shen Yiyao has complicated eyebrows, “Is this what your sister said?”

“A sister didn’t say that, I guessed it. A little girl said that you didn’t use dinner, and A sister asked me to accompany you.”

Shen Yiyao lowered her head halfway, her expression indistinct.

After a long time, he said: “Well, mother must be obedient in the future.”

“That’s right.” Yan Mo nodded and stretched out a little hand to pat her, “It’s okay, don’t be afraid, you still have my sister and me.”

Shen Yiyao couldn’t help it anymore this time, and dropped the tooth chop in her hand, holding her veil tightly over her mouth. The girls on the side also looked away, holding their sleeves to wipe the corners of their eyes.

Seeing this, Yan Mo sighed in his heart.

Brother Luo said that his sister was older and thin-skinned, and he was embarrassed to say many things. And he, young, is okay to act like a coquettish and stupid occasionally, don’t worry about his face.

But everyone said they were crying, and it seemed that he really didn’t have the ability to make people happy.

I don’t know if a few children’s words touched Shen Yiyao’s heart. In short, she is getting better day by day, and she is no longer the same as before. Her expression is always melancholy, and it is rare to have a smile.

A person’s spirit is strong enough, it can be seen from the behavior. It was in the early spring, and the weather was getting warmer. Shen Yiyao didn’t always stay behind closed doors like before, and occasionally took the maid out for a walk or something. The needlework was also picked up, worrying about making spring sweaters for his sons and daughters.

After being busy, the whole Jinhuatang was alive and well.

At this moment, Yan Ting came.

Hearing this news, Yan Yan wanted to let people blast him out.

But as long as he is still his father for a day, he can’t do this kind of thing, especially if her mother is still there, how can she be in her turn.

Yan Yan knew that her temper was going to be bad, so she sent Yan Mo away, and let people watch the movement, and let her know what happened.

When Shen Yiyao heard that Yan Ting was coming, she was taken aback for a moment, then she put down the needlework in her hand and asked her servants to welcome them in.

Qiao Rong struggled to stop people in front.

Unlike others, this is the wife’s husband and uncle. Don’t be light or heavy, and you can’t force people to stop people from entering, or else others will come back with a word, I will find my daughter-in-law and child, do you do anything?

Fortunately, Zou’s mother came soon.

Mother Zou smiled on her face, neither close nor alienated, just the kind of standardized smile she treated the guests.

“Madam is taking a nap. Madam sleeps lightly these days, so people don’t dare to disturb. Just after waking up, the servants and maidservants came to welcome Master Hou.”

Yan Ting glanced at Mother Zou, then went inside, and Mother Zou followed.

At the Jinhuatang, Shen Yiyao was sitting on the big kang, and Yan Mo cuddled up next to her. In this situation, Shen Yiyao definitely couldn’t come down to meet him, so he lifted the hem of the brocade robe and sat down on the other side.

Shen Yiyao nodded slightly to him, then lowered her eyes. Yan Mo took the copy of “Ghosts and Strange Tales” in his hand, grabbed the corner of her clothes, urged her to continue telling the story, and Shen Yiyao continued to read the story to her son.

In fact, “Ghosts and Ghosts” is not scary, it is all about strange things. Yan Mo had just enlightened at this moment, and he was particularly interested in these kinds of stories. Of course, he was not here to listen to them.

Yan Ting took a sip of tea and placed the tea cup on the kang table. “Mo’er’s body seems to have improved a lot. Madam is really working hard.”

As soon as Yan Ting spoke, the story would not be able to continue, and Shen Yiyao probably understood what her son was doing right now. She put down the scroll in her hand, asked Cuiping to take Yan Mo to the next room, and promised to read it to him again before Yan Mo left.

“Speaking of ashamed, Mo’er’s body is not my credit, it is A Yan who accompanies him to exercise every day, and the child’s body becomes strong.”

An ‘I’ made Yan Ting easily aware of the difference. In the past, Shen Yiyao claimed to be a ‘concubine’ in front of him. Yan Ting knew Shen Yiyao’s character very well, and he could see a lot of things with a little difference.

Yan Ting put his hand on hers and sighed, “Yao’er, are you still angry with me? You always don’t want to listen to me to explain. I was really not calm that day, so I didn’t have time to stop it. I’m wrong if my mother is playing tricks. But you also know that when things happen so suddenly and my mother is so angry, how can I be a son to say anything.”

“You are not ignorant of your mother’s temper. She is a bodhisattva-hearted person, but sometimes no one can persuade her when her temper comes. I have been outside for a few years and have not been filial in front of her. Many times, I can’t bear to touch her. It’s true. It’s true that things were too sudden to make things like that. After that, my mother also regretted it. After you left, she fell ill. She always took my hand and said, “I can’t help you, let me ask for it.” You forgive me, please go back.”

Yan Ting’s palm was dry and warm, and there were several thin calluses on his hands. Shen Yiyao did not withdraw her hand, leaving his hand on the back of her hand, quietly listening to his explanation and telling.

What I thought was very close is actually very far away from myself.

It’s like at this moment, obviously holding hands, but unable to reach the depths of each other’s heart. This voice once always made her fascinated by it. Why does it sound so strange now?

Shen Yiyao raised her eyes to look at the face in front of her, this eyebrow, this eye, this outline, she had painted in her heart countless times, without even looking at his face, she could describe his expression only by voice. He should have stretched his sword eyebrows at this time, but his eyebrows were frowning, with a trace of apology on his face, and his eyes were sincere and focused. When he looks at you intently, the pupils of his eyes should be warm brown, deep and deceptive…

Sure enough!

Shen Yiyao listened to her voice slowly, calmly and soothingly.

“I’m not angry with my mother, but I’m always bored in the house, I want to come out and relax.”

“Then you mean you are willing to go back with me?”

Shen Yiyao looked at him quietly, suddenly a flash of water filled her eyes, and then gathered and rolled down into tears. Her voice was choked with sadness that could not be concealed, “I don’t want to go back to the capital now, my father does not recognize me… this time he really does not recognize me… I want to live here, just be quiet…”

“Father-in-law wouldn’t be like that, you are his biological daughter after all.” Yan Ting said this kind of comforting words many times.

Shen Yiyao took a deep breath and looked at him straight, “My father said, unless I make peace with you, otherwise I will not be allowed to step into the gate of the town government office from now on.”

Yan Ting’s pupils shrank sharply, but he wanted to laugh but couldn’t. After a while, he said: “Father-in-law must be joking.”

“I also hope it’s a joke, but my father said, as long as I’m the Yan family for one day, don’t step on the door of Shen’s family for one day.” Shen Yiyao couldn’t help crying, clutching Yan Ting’s hand firmly, as if It is the last straw rope.

“I won’t be the daughter of the Shen family anymore, my father doesn’t want me. Husband, will you leave with me?”

Yan Ting calmly patted her shoulder once, as if thinking about something, a little lost, “Why? No, no…”

I also don’t know if this will not happen, does it mean that he will not reconcile, or that the Lord Zhen Guo will not be so ruthless.

Shen Yiyao looked at his profile through tears, thinking that she must not be able to bear it, but found that she was surprisingly calm, but her heart was as cold as falling into an ice cellar…

Yan Ting didn’t stay for long, so he calmed Shen Yiyao a few words, and left because of something else.

He rode his horse and galloped for a while, and the cold wind blew on his face before he calmed down. He slowed down his horse and allowed the entourage behind to keep up.

Mr. Zhen Guo behaved like this, he was a little surprised, but not surprised. There were all sorts of clues before, and what happened on the first day of the Spring Festival was just tearing the last layer of window paper.

Divorcing his wife, this is definitely impossible.

Let alone whether Zhen Guogong will retaliate afterwards, he is the son-in-law of the Shen family for a day, and the Shen family will not move him for a day. What’s more, the identity of the son-in-law of Zhenguo’s father-in-law is better than expected. Now that he is fighting a dead end, there is no sense of humiliation to borrow someone else’s reputation.

One day, when his power is overwhelming, the Shen family will be destroyed instantly!

Yan Ting took a deep breath, pulled the reins, changed directions, and rode forward.

After walking for almost two quarters of an hour, he stopped in front of a small Zhuangzi gate.

Someone greeted him, took the rein from him, and led the horse away.

A well-dressed middle-aged man greeted him, bowed his waist, “Master Yan, you can count it. We have asked this question several times.”

“I was delayed for a while on the road, where is my son?”

“It’s in Fuxiang Pavilion.”

This Zhuangzi was a special industry under the name of the Marquis of Wuding. Tangquan was found in Qixia Mountain. The powers and dignitaries in Beijing must deal with their businesses here. This is the place where Liu Xi, the first son of the Marquis of Wuding, likes to have fun.

This Liu Xi is a typical dude who can eat, drink, prostitute and gamble. However, few people in the realm of the capital dared to provoke him, for nothing else. He was the brother-in-law of Xu Xiangrong, the eldest son of Cheng’enhou’s mansion, and the two were brother-in-law. Going further, he said that he is the younger brother of Xu Guifei’s siblings, but he is not in a relationship.

Now that Xu Guifei is in full swing, ordinary people are naturally unwilling to compete with her.

Yan Ting was introduced to Liu Xi by a close friend. Liu Xi was a man of lust, and Yan Ting did what he wanted. After coming down several times, the two of them looked like iron buddies. Coupled with the representative behind Yan Ting, the Lord Zhen Guo, you come and go, and the fight is even more enthusiastic.

Liu Xi was indeed a useless dude, but Yan Ting was not here for him.

All the way to the Fuxiang Pavilion, before entering the door, I smelled a strong powdery powder, and the Yingshengyan language inside also came out.

The next person opened the door, Yan Ting stepped in, and the extravagant scene of the wine pond meat forest came into view.

The entire floor is covered with Persian woven gold carpets with complex patterns. There are no seats in the room, but all seats are seated on the floor. Before each table, there is a long table with various kinds of wine and dishes. On the right hand side is a huge Tangquan Pond, with water vapor in it, making the temperature in the whole room feel like warm spring.

The people in the house were wearing very little clothes. Several men were wearing only their shirts, sitting barefoot on the floor with their chests and feet, each holding a nice prostitute in their arms, and was making fun. The prostitute wears even less, with a layer of tulle on the outside, a bellyband hung around his neck, a pair of pants underneath, and his shoulders and arms are very sultry.

“Ha! Our Weiyuan Hou has arrived. He is late today and will be fined for a while later.” Liu Xi said with a hand out of the room, raising his wine glass.

“This is for sure.”

A maid came and led Yan Ting to a small room to change clothes. When Yan Ting came out again, he would be no different from the other men on the court. Yan Ting was already handsome, with a tall and solid body, and this kind of dress made him feel like a slutty. The several prostitutes in the room couldn’t help but take a few more glances.

Yan Ting sat down in the first place under Liu Xi and fined himself three cups first.

Liu Xi shouted hello, and had another drink with him. Liu Xi winked, and a slender and beautiful prostitute leaned over. . . ?
