"... Her temper has changed. You don't know, she used to be more domineering than this." Thinking of Magpie's pig-headed face, Shen Zhongqing deliberately scolded Chu Xinyi, and then thought about it again. He held it back and said nonchalantly, "I told you to stay away from her, but you refused to listen and just sent her to her door asking for a beating."
"Oh, so you're still blaming me?" Chu Xinyi's voice immediately became louder, "It was the general who said she was in poor health and was so poor that she didn't even have a decent bed and quilt, so my concubine was kind enough to go over and take a look and wanted to buy some for her. Furniture, along with the monthly report..." He looked at Shen Zhongqing with an aggrieved look on his face, "It's fine if she doesn't appreciate it, I'll hit her if she raises her hand!"
"I didn't say I blamed you." Shen Zhongqing's voice softened, and he changed the topic, "After all, Magpie is always the one who is pregnant with Liujia. No matter how wrong you are, you shouldn't hit her like that. After all, she is still by your side. The eldest maid." In any case, Zhen Shiniang is superior to Chu Xinyi in terms of status. Logically speaking, her eldest maid is not something Chu Xinyi can touch casually.
Thinking of Zhen Shiniang's sharp words about doting on his concubine and destroying his wife, Shen Zhongqing's face became hot again.
Chu Xinyi really went too far in this matter.
Unexpectedly, she was also beaten like this, and he just let Zhen Shiniang go. He really couldn't explain to Chu Xinyi that too many women would be trouble. This mess is really hard to reconcile. He is not a human being inside and outside.
"What!" Chu Xinyi screamed sharply, "My concubine is always your woman. She has been in charge of the general's palace for so many years, and she has worked hard without any credit. What's the matter?" She looked at Shen Zhongqing with an aggressive look. " Now she is no better than a maid, and the general is scolding his concubine for her?"
Just say that the magpie's child is his, and it's true!
She has been protected like this before she even got pregnant. If she gave birth to a son...
Chu Xinyi didn't dare to think about it anymore, a strong jealousy made her lose all reason, and her ferocious face suddenly looked like a shrew.
He had never seen Chu Xinyi like this before. Shen Zhongqing didn't realize it for a moment and just looked at her blankly.
Seeing him like this, Chu Xinyi sneered. "The maids and concubines were beaten like this, but the general didn't punish them at all, right?"
She wanted to ask, but the general had not reconciled with her at all.
Is this the same Yi'er that she was good to as long as he was good to her?
For some reason, Shen Zhongqing suddenly felt a strong sense of boredom in his heart, and he decided to walk away. However, he still had the patience to call out, "Yi'er..." His voice was gentle as ever, "No matter what, she always My wife, if you hit her maid, there is nothing wrong with her giving you a few slaps in public."
Something had just happened to his sister, and he stayed up all night again. He was feeling agitated, and he really didn't want to quarrel.
Is she the legal wife?
After admitting that bitch is his real wife in front of him and establishing her status, does he mean to divorce her?
Chu Xinyi jumped up with a cry, "Then what does it mean that my maid and concubine have been hosting your intercourse for the past few years, working as cattle and horses for you for free and for nothing, and breaking your heart at home and abroad?" She was crying. She got up and said, "Since she is the head wife, the general will take her back and preside over the ceremony. I will leave tomorrow!" The crying suddenly stopped. She looked at Shen Zhongqing aggressively, "Do you have me in this house? She, without her or me!"
Knowing that Shen Zhongqing hated being threatened, she shouldn't have forced him like this.
But, she didn't have time.
Now that she had broken up with each other, she decided to make a big fuss. She must force that bitch away before Shen Zhongqing found out about the old lady's secret dealings with An Qinghou and make everything a foregone conclusion.
Is she threatening him?
Shen Zhongqing's face suddenly darkened, and the veins on his forehead bulged one by one.
Feeling that the air suddenly became colder, Chu Xinyi's voice suddenly disappeared.
From the corner of her eye, she secretly saw that Shen Zhongqing's face turned dark but did not move. She sobbed softly again, "The general doesn't even think about what she did to you five years ago, and what my concubine did to you... Good morning It’s better to know that you can’t get anything back even if you go through all your heart and soul, I might as well have been a maid..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Zhongqing jumped to the ground.
"General!"
Chu Xinyi screamed and chased to the door, but Shen Zhongqing had disappeared.
With a chirping sound, Chu Xinyi tore the bed curtain in half, turned around, grabbed the teacups and teapots on the table, and smashed them.
…
"...Where is mother?" The old lady returned home when she was about to submit her application. Shen Zhongqing hurried to the Yangxinyuan after receiving the letter.
Rong Sheng went out to inquire around. The palace guards all said that they saw the old lady's carriage leaving the palace gate and heading towards the general's palace. No one knew where she went. This made Shen Zhongqing worried.
When did my mother's whereabouts become so mysterious?
He took the tea from his son and took a sip, "I went to the Anqing Hou Mansion."
Went to Anqinghou Mansion?
Shen Zhongqing was shocked. His sister's child was gone, and it was probably the Queen's fault. At such a sensitive time, her mother went to the Anqing Hou Mansion!
However, sitting across from him was his biological mother.
After taking a few deep breaths, Shen Zhongqing barely suppressed the shock in his heart and waved his hand to dismiss the servants in the room, "What did Mrs. Xue say to mother?"
"The queen said that she was not responsible for the birth of the empress's child, but that someone used the crab roe soup she sent to frame her..." The old lady looked at Shen Zhongqing, "Mrs. Xue is right, our empress is not the only one who is favored in the harem. So many princes have been given birth, but this one is missing from our queen's belly? Even if she is jealous, the queen will not use such despicable means." She sobbed softly again, "Why is my queen's life so miserable, after two years in the palace? At least there was some movement, and then it just disappeared..."
Is this explanation too pale?
The queen said she didn't kill anyone, so she didn't kill anyone? Then why did the court keep these fast-moving jailers and executioners?
Whoever committed the murder and who did not commit the murder can just turn himself in and confess.
Between the harem and the temple, a single move affects the whole body. Even he can't see the intricate complexities. He always needs Xiao Yu to solve his doubts. How can his mother, a womanly woman, have the confidence?
Facing his mother's disapproval, Shen Zhongqing felt helpless and tried to persuade her, "Your Majesty will always be a child. She will take care of her for two years. It won't be too late to have another child."
"It must be that vixen of Concubine Zheng!" The old lady gritted her teeth fiercely, "The tenth prince is just seven months old, and she is afraid that our empress will give birth to a dragon and steal her limelight. Although the bowl of crab roe soup was given by the empress. , but after it passed through the hands of Concubine Zhou, Mrs. Xue said that Concubine Zhou was the person of Concubine Zheng..."
"Mother..." Before she could finish her words, Shen Zhongqing interrupted, "Whether the death of your child was an accident or someone framed me, I have to decide for myself, so we don't have to worry about it." He added, "Long live regardless. The delivery room is filthy, and I have been staying in Guanju Palace for the past two days, which is a great favor to the Shen family. If I know that my mother is jealous of this behind my back, I will definitely be unhappy."
The old lady lowered her head.
Shen Zhongqing breathed out, and was about to ask the old lady how she got to the Anqing Hou Mansion, when she heard the old lady ask, "... Qing'er went to Wutong Town, is there any result?"
"No..." Shen Zhongqing shook his head.
"Why?" The old lady sat up straight, "Why doesn't she agree to beat Aunt Chu like this? You just let her!" She sneered, "She thinks she is still the daughter of the minister!"
"Mother misunderstood." Seeing the old lady getting angry, Shen Zhongqing quickly explained, "It's not that she disagreed, it's that I didn't mention it."
"What's wrong with Qing'er..." The old lady was startled, then suddenly realized, "Is it because of the magpie's child?"
Magpie's child?
Shen Zhongqing was puzzled. What does Magpie's child have to do with him and Buheli?
The old lady laughed and said, "It is difficult for Qing to have a son. Since the magpie has your flesh and blood, it can just take it back generously." She looked at Shen Zhongqing with a smile and said, "I will make the decision for you. If she wins a man in one fell swoop, , I took her as my aunt..." His expression straightened, and he said fiercely, "I don't believe that Mrs. Zhen dares to stop you from picking her up!"
The old lady thought that Zhen Shiniang was using the child in the magpie's belly to blackmail Shen Zhongqing.
Shen Zhongqing was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses.
Slowly, a layer of pig liver-like red sauce appeared on his face, "What nonsense, mother!"
"Isn't it?" The old lady blinked, "All the maids who followed Aunt Chu saw the magpie's bulging belly, which looked like it was six or seven months old." The voice suddenly lost confidence, "Could it be that... it's not... Qing'er's? ?”
"Magpie has been married a long time ago, she..." Shen Zhongqing's voice stopped abruptly.
Since she thought the child was his, why did Chu Xinyi act so harshly?
Aren't you afraid that the magpie will slide and cause him to lose his flesh and bones?
The old lady was disappointed for a moment, "In that case, why are you still hesitating about Qing'er? Go and make peace with her immediately. If she dares to disagree, then..." She wanted to kill her, but after a slight hesitation, she changed her words and said, "Simply divorce her. He is arrogant and domineering and has not been out for seven years. If he were an ordinary person, he would have stopped going out long ago. Qing'er will just go and ask for orders from Long Live."
Mrs. Xue said that if Zhen Shiniang does not agree to reconcile, and Shen Zhongqing does not want to kill her, he can also write a letter to divorce his wife. Anqinghou will definitely help him speak, and will also encourage all ministers to jointly act as guarantees.
Zhen Shiniang is arrogant and domineering, and has no virtuous qualities as a woman. Her father committed a crime of rebellion back then. If Long Live is not happy someday, if Shen Zhongqing is investigated, Shen Zhongqing will be dragged down by her and lose his head if he does anything wrong.
The more I thought about it, the more I realized that what Mrs. Xue said made sense. At this moment, the old lady wished she could kill Zhen Shiniang immediately.
After talking for a long time and getting no response, the old lady looked up and found Shen Zhongqing staring blankly out of the window, not knowing what to think, so she shouted, "Qing'er!"
"Mother..." Shen Zhongqing came back to his senses and saw the old lady staring at him, so he said warmly, "Doctor Zhong said she can live for up to two years..." Looking at his mother, he discussed, "Two years is not long. I don’t think there’s any need to divorce, so let her continue to live in the ancestral home.”
"She can live for two years?" She was shocked when she suddenly heard this old lady, and a wave of intolerance suddenly appeared in her heart, which disappeared in the blink of an eye, "Qing'er is confused!" She shook her head decisively, "Qing'er wants to I never thought that once she dies in our home, you will have the reputation of being a wife-suppressant, and who will dare to marry you in the future?"
If that were the case, not to mention the legitimate daughter of the Anqing Hou Mansion, even the concubine of an ordinary family might not be willing to marry!
