Chapter 443 Revenge
"You stupid girl, you are such an ungrateful bastard. I have spoiled you since you were little, but you made me lose face in front of everyone just for your own selfish desires. It is true that a daughter born to a concubine is different from a legitimate daughter. You are just like a slutty concubine like you!"
Shen Zhong was so angry that his lips were trembling.
Shen Zhuer was scolded so hard that she even forgot to cry.
"Dad, don't be angry, it's not worth it, she's just a concubine. If you want, you can take in a few more wives. Why are you so angry over a concubine? Dad, you have few children, and I'm the only one in the house. You always say I don't love Zhu'er. Oh, if I, a legitimate child, treat my illegitimate sister like my own sister, and outsiders see it.
I don't know how to make fun of me. If I enter the officialdom in the future, my enemies will definitely use this to attack me, saying that my son does not distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate children. Dad, if you could understand your son's heart, it would be great. I don't know who is whispering in your ear on weekdays, causing the relationship between us to fade. Your son is so sad."
Shen Hechi sat on the couch.
Patting his father on the back.
While soothing, apply eye drops.
Shen Zhong felt more and more guilty towards his son.
"Hechi, Dad knows I was wrong. In the past, Dad was blinded by lard and always believed what that bastard said. I thought you were always against Dad. How could Dad not know that you are excellent? You passed the imperial examination at the age of eleven and have a bright future ahead of you. Fortunately, I don't hate you.
Come, lock this bastard up in the woodshed, and don't give him any food or water. If anyone gives him any food or water in private, sell him off! As for Zhu'er, she is my own flesh and blood after all, and I have loved her for so many years. Hey, lock her up in the second courtyard and raise her until she is fourteen, and marry her off directly. From now on, she is not allowed to leave the second courtyard."
Shen Zhong finished speaking.
Duan Lian'er was taken away while Saqi was begging for mercy.
Shen Zhuer was also locked in the second courtyard and cried bitterly.
She didn't understand why her life changed after her birthday.
"Dad, take your medicine and have a good rest. I will go to the front yard and ask the servants to clean it up."
The play is over.
Shen Hechi didn't want to see his father's face again.
He said with a fake smile, then walked away.
Today's events had already been planned when he returned from Jiangnan.
He bribed Xin'er, the maid who served Duan.
He promised to help her change her status to a non-slave one so that she and her lover could get married and live in Jiangnan.
Duan has a bad temper.
She pretends to be gentle on the surface, but in fact she often bullies the servants in the house.
Xin'er didn't have a single piece of good flesh on her body, and her life was miserable.
She should have been released to get married this year, but Mrs. Duan refused to let her go.
therefore.
Shen Hechi bought her off.
And the servant who informed Shen Zhuer was not a servant in the mansion.
But he was a beggar he hired from outside.
He changed into a servant's clothes, so Shen Zhuer couldn't recognize him.
And a gatekeeper who guards the backyard.
They are all his people.
Like Xin'er, he had been bullied by Agui in various ways since he entered the mansion last year, so naturally he held a grudge against him.
Why did Duan fall in love?
It's all thanks to the flowers in the vase.
He cut the aphrodisiac into pieces and hid it in the pistil, then sprinkled it with water.
When the aphrodisiac comes into contact with water, it will emit a faint fragrance.
Just smelling it for a while will make you feel extremely hot and unable to control your body.
Calculate the time accurately and send someone to call Agui over.
It's done.
Logically speaking, this aphrodisiac has a greater effect on women.
If a man is determined, even if he smells it for a quarter of an hour, he will only feel some discomfort in his lower body.
so......
Shen Hechi sneered.
This Agui already had feelings towards the Duan family.
The love potion is just a matter of going with the flow.
Not everything went according to his plan.
Shen Hechi is only eleven years old, and is a little immature when it comes to the methods of inner-house struggle.
Xin'er is different.
Therefore, she left behind hairpins and other items to create the illusion that she was forcibly taken away, making Ma Er's confession sound more realistic.
At this time, she had already left the city and was on her way to Jiangnan.
She leaned on her lover's shoulder, her face full of happiness.
Jiang Fubao's birthday banquet is about to end.
Today, she received many gifts.
The house was full of them.
There was no time to dismantle it.
After seeing the guests off with grandpa and grandma.
She took Xuehuan back into the house.
Start opening presents.
"Wow, Miss, this jade fan is so beautiful. The handle is cool. It must be very comfortable to use it to fan yourself in the summer. There is also a person carved on it. Hmm, it looks like Miss."
Xue Huan was holding a jade fan and looking at it excitedly.
"This was given to me by my sister Wanru. She bought it specially when she went to Jiangnan in June and asked the craftsman to carve my image on the handle. And this jade pendant was given to me by my brother Changmin. It's a pity that my brother Changyi didn't come because he also took the examination. I hope he can pass.
Wow, Xuehuan, look, this headpiece is so beautiful, but it’s too big. I don’t think I can wear it. Fortunately, it’s made of gold, so it won’t get damaged easily. When I grow up, I will take it out and show off. Auntie Yun has really good taste…”
Jiang Fubao is unpacking the gifts sent by the Fang family in Chang'an Town.
Everything is worth dozens or even hundreds of taels.
All these gifts touched her heart.
The second is the gifts given by the young men in the village.
Some were pebbles shaped like eggs, some were wild fruits picked from the mountains, and some were flowers.
Tie it together with various wild flowers.
It looks pretty good.
There was no trace of disgust on Jiang Fubao's face.
She put the wild flowers in a vase that was already filled with water, and then handed the wild fruits to Xuehuan.
"Xue Huan, wash these fruits. We will eat them later. Otherwise, they will go bad if we leave them out until tomorrow."
After being transported on the bumpy ox cart, the fruits had become somewhat soft and rotten and could not be kept for long.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Xue Huan gently placed the jade fan in her hand on the table, then put the wild fruits in her clothes and went downstairs.
Jiang Fubao continued to open the gifts.
Liu Yanzhi, the owner of Liu's Grain Store, sent a famous pastry from the south, Yikousu.
A whole box.
Some of it was broken, but still delicious.
Jiang Fubao stuffed two pieces into his mouth.
His cheeks suddenly puffed up like a squirrel.
"Crunch, crunchy——" It's so crispy. It should taste even better if it's just out of the oven.
The sweetness is moderate.
It's just right to eat it alone, without tea.
Jiang Fubao closed the box and prepared to enjoy it slowly.
She continued to sit on the floor, unpacking various boxes.
Yang Wanli, a regular customer of the snack shop, also came and gave away rouge and other items sold by his own rouge shop.
Although it is a rouge shop.
In fact, it is similar to modern cosmetics stores.
There were eyebrow drawing, face paint, rouge and lip balm. The shopkeeper Yang gave her the whole set.
Packaged in a small white porcelain jar.
As soon as I opened it, the floral scent filled my nose. It must be the most expensive one in the shop.
He is very generous.
Jiang Fubao used her little finger to apply some light pink rouge on her cheeks, then looked at herself with a small handheld bronze mirror.
Looks even more delicate.
"Miss, the fruit has been washed. Come and taste it to see if it's sweet." Xue Huan climbed up the stairs and ran in.
She picked up the fruit from the soup bowl and stuffed it into Jiang Fubao's mouth.
"Mm, so sweet." Jiang Fubao shuddered.
She forced a smile.
