Chapter 622: Shen Yuantang’s marriage remains unchanged!
Shen Yuantang seemed to have suffered a great injustice, and said: "I am your biological sister. We grew up together and went to Dongchuan together. We have been through so much and suffered so much. I am not as amazing as your sister. I have not been taught by so many capable people since I was a child. I am just an ordinary person. Big sister, do you know how difficult my life has been these years?"
Shen Lanxi: "Let's not talk about how difficult your life is. Even if it is difficult, it is not a reason for you to excuse yourself."
Shen Yuantang realized that showing weakness would not win him sympathy, so he simply gave it his all.
"If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. I plan for myself, what's wrong with that?"
Shen Lanxi: "Poisoning your family, is that also a plan for yourself?"
Shen Yuantang dodged a glance and didn't dare to look up to meet his family members.
"Since my father and mother can't break up the relationship, Lan Xi will just be the bad guy."
"Yuan Tang, since you call me elder sister, I will just let you get what you want."
Shen Yuantang looked up hastily. What does this mean?
"Everyone in the palace knows that you took the initiative to go to the northwest, and the people in the capital also know that you are going to the northwest. Naturally, it cannot be changed."
Shen Yuantang's eyes widened and he said in horror, "No, I won't go. Big sister, I won't go to the northwest."
Shen Lanxi: "The northwest has been pacified. Even if I send a man over there, they will marry him as their principal wife."
Ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.
"I am married for the second time and I am pregnant. I cannot go to the northwest."
"If Big Sister sends me to the northwest, it will mean war with the Turks."
"Big sister, aren't you afraid of another war and being cursed by the people of the northwest?"
The faces of the Shen family members turned black as they listened.
"You bastard, you're actually threatening me. I'll beat you to death!"
Shen Congwen stood up angrily and wanted to hit Shen Yuantang, but this time the three Shen brothers did not stop him. He walked closer and raised his hands again and again, but he couldn't do it.
"Brother, let's see what His Majesty says." Shen Congli saw that his brother was in a dilemma, so he sighed and walked over and pushed him back onto the chair.
If he gets up and hits someone again, he won't stop him.
Shen Congwen's hands were shaking with anger, he was out of breath, and he looked like he was going crazy.
"I'm not going!"
"Mother has so many goddaughters, why doesn't she let them go? They are princesses too."
"Big sister, why are you so cruel to your family?"
"My mother won't help me, and my father wants to beat me. As the eldest sister of His Majesty, he wants to send me to marry. Am I not a member of the Shen family? Am I not one of your relatives?"
"Why are you so cruel to me?"
Shen Lanxi ignored Shen Yuantang's crazy roar and faced her mother.
"Mother, is it okay for my daughter to arrange this?"
Zhou Xinrou said coldly: "Yes!"
Shen Lanxi: "There's no need to wait two days to set off, let's set off today and send them to the northwest!"
Your Majesty's words are golden, and what you say is the imperial edict.
The people of the Shen family immediately got busy.
"I'm not going..."
"Where are you taking Sun Lang?"
"I'm already pregnant with Sun Lang's child..."
Shen Yuantang yelled loudly.
Shen Congwen couldn't listen any longer, and as soon as Shen Lanxi left, he immediately ordered: "Gag her, tie her up and throw her into the carriage."
The maid looked at Zhou Xinrou cautiously, and the latter nodded slowly.
"Mother, father..."
Shen Yuantang's face was full of shock and disbelief. Her life was arranged so hastily and casually.
What do they take her for?
After receiving the order, the maids and old women rushed forward, some trying to cover people's mouths and some trying to arrest people.
"Brother, Princess, Yuantang's belly..." Liu reminded.
If you really send her to the Northwest like this, by the time she gets there, her belly will be big.
At that time, it would not be a marriage alliance, but an enmity.
Shen Yuantang was the daughter of the eldest wife, so they dared not interfere in how to deal with her.
Shen Congwen was silent for a long time, and Zhou Xinrou's eyes flashed with impatience.
"Let's make a bowl of medicine!"
Naturally, everyone in the Shen family heard it, and what they sent was medicine to eliminate the root of the trouble.
Since everything had been arranged, the people in the rooms did not stay any longer.
Shen Yuantang was sent away quietly. In less than half an hour, a carriage filled with the smell of medicine rushed out of the capital.
Two days later, the marriage team will leave from Shen's house in the same way.
Shen Yuantang's commotion did not affect the marriage at all.
A day later, Zhou Xinrou received a message from Huang Yu, asking for money, food, weapons and armor.
"Money and food are easy to deal with, but where can I get so many weapons for her?" She was happy but also a little annoyed.
"Princess, the young mistress is recruiting soldiers over there under the pretext of suppressing bandits. I know the young mistress's temper. If she had no other choice, she would not have written to you."
Zhou Xinrou naturally understood this, but what she could do was very limited.
"Forget it. Take 10,000 taels of silver from the silver shop and send it over. Remember, take it separately and find a few more people to do it."
"As for food, we can transfer some from Xiguan and other places. It will make less noise."
Mammy smiled and said, "Fortunately, we bought a lot of abandoned land for cultivation before, and we have been planting high-yield crops in recent years, so we have stored a lot of surplus grain in the granary."
Zhou Xinrou smiled when she heard this. This could be considered as benefiting from Shen Lanxi. If she hadn't issued an order to open up arable land, reduce agricultural taxes, and have people get high-yield grain, she wouldn't have been able to stockpile more things in just a few years than she had stockpiled for more than ten years.
"She said in the letter that she had gathered another thousand soldiers and secretly placed them in the bandit camp. After the imperial court issued an edict of amnesty, these people could be arranged to join the bandit suppression army. Then she could raise troops legitimately."
Nanny asked worriedly, "I just wonder if His Majesty will allow it?"
Zhou Xinrou's face immediately turned cold.
"She was sent to suppress the bandits but she didn't send any troops, money, food, or weapons. If people all over the world knew about this, they would definitely laugh at her."
"If someone can get her things done without using a penny from the national treasury or the court's men, if she doesn't agree, no one in the world will agree."
Such a good deal, as long as Shen Lanxi is not stupid, she will definitely agree to it.
Zhou Xinrou waited calmly, and just when she was about to get impatient, the imperial edict of Shen Lanxi's approval was sent to Huang Yu.
Instead of being angry, she was happy, which showed that Shen Lanxi didn't take Huang Yu seriously at all.
Only in this way, everything Huang Yu does will not be discovered.
That’s great!
…
After Wei Jie had been confined at home for half a month, Shen Lanxi released him.
"Lord Wei is impartial and incorruptible, and is truly a role model for the court!"
In the Golden Palace, Shen Lanxi praised Wei Jie and expressed her attitude.
After the court session ended, Wei Jie returned home and the imperial plaque with the words "Imperial and Impartial" was delivered to Wei's mansion with drums and gongs.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites supervised the matter, and Liu Yanhui followed to Daohe.
"Congratulations, Master Wei! Congratulations, Master Wei!"
