Chapter 211: Fighting with a Knife
He Yanling finally served tea to Shen Luoxue.
"Concubine He Yanling invites the mistress to tea."
Shen Luoxue took the teacup and wanted to pour the hot tea on He Yanling, but she couldn't do that. What happened today was already embarrassing enough. If it were to be spread out, the eldest daughter of the Shen family would not tolerate others, and it might also affect the marriage proposal of the daughter of the relative.
Then I won't be able to live well in Lingchang in the future. I have come to understand these days that my identity as the eldest daughter of the Shen family does not allow me to do whatever I want.
Shen Luoxue touched the cup with her lips, then suppressed her anger and placed the cup heavily on the table, imitating the way her mother treated her concubines.
"Mrs. He, you're pregnant but you don't even have an official status. And you made such a scene today, and only then did you get the status of a concubine. To be honest, as a woman myself, I sympathize with you. Our marriages are all decided by our parents and matchmakers.
I had heard a little about the marriage between the Shen and Sun families before. The elders in my family had asked many times whether the Sun family had concubines or maids. The answer they got was that Mr. Sun was devoted to studying in order to obtain fame and fortune, and had never been close to women, let alone having concubines or maids. So I really didn't know that the Sun family had such a pregnant cousin.
Today, after drinking this cup of concubine tea from you, I naturally acknowledge your status. Since you have been in the Sun family for a few years, I think you are better at taking care of people than I am. From now on, you will take good care of Mr. Sun. As long as you don't deliberately come around in front of me, I won't make things difficult for you. "
When Sun Xiucai saw Shen Luoxue handle the situation in this way, his expression looked better. As expected of a young lady from a wealthy family, she was sensible and hurried to greet the guests.
"Come on, come on, everyone, please take a seat and enjoy your food. I'm sorry for making you all laugh today..."
Seeing that things were finally almost done, Shen Luoxue returned to the bridal chamber with the support of Mother Qiu and Lihua.
He Yanling watched her leave angrily, with a triumphant smile on her lips. After she finished the task assigned by that person, she could get a large sum of money and then live a good life with her children. The Sun family, this den of tigers and wolves, would leave this Miss Shen, or rather, Madam Sun, to stay.
As soon as she returned to the bridal chamber, Shen Luoxue hurriedly tore off her wedding dress, even throwing it on the ground, and stomped on it a few times in anger.
"Mother Qiu, Lihua, find me some clothes. I need to go back to Xueyuan to see my mother. The Sun family clearly doesn't take our Shen family seriously. And the Shen family's relatives, who have received so many favors from my father, actually arranged such a marriage for me. This account must be settled."
This time, Mother Qiu didn't stop her. Instead, she took the clothes and spoke.
"Miss, we can't leave like this. The Sun family will never let us go. So, while there are many people around, let Lihua go back to find Madam for support. I will stay here with you."
Northwest Palace.
Su Hanchu is already pregnant. Jun Moye watches her belly growing bigger day by day. He is happy but also feels sorry for her hard work.
Because Wei Furong had instructed that walking more would facilitate delivery, Jun Moye would accompany Su Hanchu for a walk after dinner.
One hand interlocked with hers, and the other hand went around her waist, supporting her belly.
"Chuchu, thank you for your hard work."
Su Hanchu smiled and said that she had seen how considerate he had been to her since she became pregnant.
"It's hard, but your heartache is worth it."
Because the Jun family has expanded a lot, there is now a pavilion and a fish pond in the yard. Jun Moye helped Su Hanchu sit down in the pavilion, and they could see the fish in the pond by turning their heads.
Jun Moye embraced Su Hanchu's body.
"Chu Chu, I've been thinking of two names lately. Would you like to hear them?"
Su Hanchu leaned lazily in his arms.
"Of course I have to listen to this."
Jun Moye picked up her hand and played with her fingers.
"If it's a girl, we'll name her Jun Chuxin, and if it's a boy, we'll name him Jun Chuchen. What do you think, Chuchu?"
Jun Chuxin, Jun Chuchen, both names contain the word "Chu" in his name. Su Hanchu suddenly felt warm in his heart, as if a warm current was flowing slowly through him.
"Yeah, it's good."
As he spoke, he looked up at Jun Moye, whose face was filled with a happy smile.
Seeing that she was happy, Jun Moye also smiled. He had spent a lot of energy on the name and finally thought of giving the child two meaningful names. Su Hanchu had always been with him along the way, so it would be best to name the child with both his surname and her name.
Lingchang Sun family.
Mr. Sun was naturally turned away on his wedding night.
Mother Qiu was standing at the door.
"Sun Xiucai, things have become like this today. I still need your Sun family to give an explanation. Before that, please don't see our young lady again."
Sun Xinyao didn't expect that a servant would dare to speak to him like this. After all, he was a scholar with honors, and there was a bit of self-righteous majesty on his face.
"You are just a servant of the Shen family. Since you have come to my house, you are naturally my servant. How can a servant speak to his master like this? Today is my wife and my wedding day. Every moment of this night is worth a thousand gold. Why don't you get out of my way?"
Mother Qiu glanced at him. She had seen this Mr. Sun when he was discussing marriage. He looked completely different now. It seemed that the Sun family's appearance and behavior at the time were all fake.
"Sun Xiucai, I am a slave, yes, but I am a slave of the Shen family. The indenture contract is also from the Shen family, and the monthly salary is also issued by the Shen family. What does this have to do with the Sun family? We have already reported today's matter to the lady. Sun Xiucai should think about how to explain it to the Shen family."
Shen Xiucai couldn't help getting angry when he saw Mother Qiu's arrogant attitude and the way she looked down on him.
"How dare you, the Shen family, have a servant like you who doesn't take your master seriously? It's a disgrace to the family. Get out of the way, or don't blame me for being rude to you, an old man."
Suddenly the door opened and Shen Luoxue appeared in plain clothes. Her eyes flashed with anger that was about to explode. She raised a dagger and pointed it at Sun Xiucai, then walked forward step by step.
"Sun Xinyao, do you really think that I, Shen Luoxue, am submissive? Let me tell you, if you dare to take a step into this room today, I don't mind making you bleed."
Mr. Sun was an inexplicably proud man. How could he possibly accept that his wife dared to point a knife at him?
"You're rebelling, you're rebelling, Shen Luoxue. A wife is a man of honor, yet you actually dared to point a knife at your own husband. This is simply rebellious. Are you a daughter raised by the Shen family? Where have you learned the Three Obediences and Four Virtues?"
Shen Luoxue spoke indifferently.
"Sun Xinyao, I've been putting up with you for a long time today. I'm telling you, I've been embarrassed enough today. If you insist on continuing, I don't mind dragging you to hell. There are so many people here today, and to save face for both families, I've publicly acknowledged your concubine.
If you keep forcing me, I tell you, even if I accidentally kill you today, the Shen family will be able to protect me, even if you kill me by relying on the physical advantage of men.
Then the Shen family will definitely kill you and bury you with me. You are a scholar after all, you should understand that the Shen family is not someone you can afford to offend."
