Tsai Chin-shi came here specifically to rescue Chen Yu.
Anyway, Anbo Hou and Shen Qingye only suffered physical pain; with some ointment, they would recover in a few days.
However, their words are different.
She's a young woman, and being pointed at and gossiped about all day long hurts her heart!
Cai Qin used this as a reason to plead with Madam Shen on her behalf.
She said with a sorrowful tone, "Physical wounds can be healed, but emotional wounds will stay with her for the rest of her life. Yu'er is very skilled in playing the zither. Madam Shen's actions are influencing a bright new generation in the zither world."
Madam Shen never thought that one thing could completely resolve Shen Yu's problem. She instructed her servants, "Go to the ancestral hall and invite the Marquis and the Second Young Master over."
He turned to Tsai Chin and said, "The one who tied the knot must untie it; I cannot make the decision on this matter."
Tsai Chin cursed the old man under her breath, but smiled and said, "It's only right."
Not long ago, Anbohou and Shen Qingye were punished by copying the family rules five hundred times. Now, they have been kneeling and copying for a whole day, and their hands are completely ruined.
He also walks with a limp.
The father and son had barely arrived and hadn't even had a chance to greet Madam Shen when Cai Qinshi spoke first, explaining the purpose of their visit.
"I heard that the Marquis dotes on Yu'er. Since she has admitted her mistake and apologized, you should forgive her."
Tsai Chin-shi did not ask Shen Ching-yeh for his opinion.
A son should listen to his father's words.
What does it matter what Shen Qingye thinks if Marquis Anbo agrees?
Both father and son frowned, their faces showing disregard for Tsai Chin-shi's impolite behavior.
Madam Shen's expression was not good, but she quickly recovered.
Anbo Hou was so engrossed in copying the family rules in the ancestral hall that he felt dizzy and nauseous, and was unaware of what was happening outside.
Hearing about Shen Yu's plight suddenly softened my heart.
He bowed to Madam Shen and said, “Mother, since Yu’er knows she was wrong, then forgive her. Anyway, I’m thick-skinned, so a beating won’t hurt. In the end, it’s still my fault. If I were more capable, none of this would have happened.”
Cai Qinshi immediately praised, "Lord Marquis is indeed a wise man."
A wise person?
Madam Shen gave a cold laugh.
I can't believe such a stupid thing crawled out of her belly. I really want to shove it back in and give her an abortion pill.
Madam Shen did not immediately agree, but instead asked Shen Qingye, "What do you think?"
Shen Qingye was taken aback.
To be honest, his mind was a bit of a mess. He didn't feel tired at all after copying the family rules all day, and he was completely numb.
Faced with this question, which is usually very easy to answer, he hesitated this time.
Marquis Anbo secretly shoved his son: "What are you standing there for? Speak up! Do you want your sister to kneel until tomorrow morning? Don't be fooled by how important a young lady's reputation is."
"Otherwise, I'll beat you up!" Marquis Anbo threatened in a low voice.
As soon as Madam Shen looked over, he immediately put on a fawning smile.
Tsai Chin smiled and said, "Yes, Second Young Master, Yu'er often talks about you to me, saying that among her brothers, you love her the most."
Madam Shen held her teacup and drank her tea attentively without making a sound.
After a long silence, Shen Qingye finally nodded.
...
The moon tonight is neither full nor very bright, as if shrouded in a thin mist, hazy and indistinct.
Shen Qingfeng missed Liang Heng's carriage heading to the palace, but that didn't stop him from eagerly going out that night to gather information.
I also got to enjoy a delicious meal at the Gu family's residence.
Upon learning that Shen Jiao was not only plump and healthy but also preparing for the Four Flowers Banquet, Shen Qingfeng rushed back to rummage through the small warehouse.
His grandfather forbade him to practice martial arts, but encouraged him to read and write more. There was a set of fine writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstones in the small storeroom.
The next time Liang Heng enters the palace, he will also use delivering something as an excuse to enter the palace!
Keep it a secret, don't tell Gu An!
Shen Qingfeng stepped into the courtyard with a cheerful smile, but was startled by a quiet, dark figure at the doorway as he turned around.
He stared at it intently and immediately became angry: "Shen Qingye, are you sick or what? What are you up to by hiding in my yard and playing tricks? Have you finished copying the family rules? If not, hurry up and copy them, don't disturb my rest."
"Where did you go?" Shen Qingye grabbed Shen Qingfeng, who was trying to slip away.
Shen Qingfeng struggled free and glared at him fiercely: "What's it to you?"
His relationship with Shen Qingye was not good, because he disliked Shen Yu, who was a staunch supporter of Shen Yu.
In public, the two would feign brotherly affection, but in private, they disliked each other and wouldn't speak to each other when they met.
Shen Qingye hadn't set foot in his courtyard for many years, and he didn't know what kind of strange wind was blowing tonight.
Shen Qingfeng wondered whether he should bring back the vicious dog to guard the gate.
"You went to the Gu residence again." Shen Qingye frowned.
This is a declarative sentence.
Shen Qingfeng: "It's my freedom to go wherever I want. You're getting all worked up over me for being fat. Even my older brother doesn't care about me, so what right do you have to question me?"
Shen Qingye couldn't help but scold, "The Gu family are all bad people. I was injured in the Southern Frontier, and that wicked Madam Gu even ordered that no doctor would treat me. How vicious! You are not allowed to go there again. They are in cahoots with Shen Jiao..."
"Stop, stop, stop."
Shen Qingfeng raised his hand and interrupted impatiently, "It's your business if you go crazy, don't drag me down with you. I have no ambition, I just like to eat the food of wicked women. Speaking of which, Shen Yu has been kneeling for a day, and I could hear her crying and sobbing at the door. You should go and comfort her. My courtyard is too small to accommodate a big Buddha like you."
As he spoke, he forcefully pushed Shen Qingye away.
Shen Qingfeng glared at the servant, who trembled all over and had no choice but to bite the bullet and help.
Shen Qingye had been kneeling for too long, and his knees were sore. He came here to wait without even eating.
