Chapter 132 I Found My Sister
Wang Peilan didn't even bother to greet Shen Shuwei, and walked back with Ruan Jingtang in her arms. Ruan Qiwen smiled bitterly and hurriedly thanked Shen Shuwei before chasing after her, "Mother, please let my little sister go first. She got caught in the rain. It's not too late to let her rest for a few days before punishing her."
"She's still here to rest for a few days! You're going to take her to the ancestral hall and make her kneel down! You're not allowed to give her any food, and you and your father are not allowed to sneak in to bring her bedding!" Even across the carriage, Shen Shuwei could hear Wang Peilan's angry roar, faintly mixed with Ruan Jingtang's weak plea for mercy.
Shen Shuwei smiled and lowered the curtain, signaling the carriage to set off back to the Shen family.
As soon as he returned to the Shen Mansion, Shen Shuwei asked Qingdai to prepare the ingredients for making ginger soup.
Qingdai responded and hurried out to do her work.
Chen Shuwei took off his fox fur cloak, gently rubbed the fur on it, and sighed with his eyelids half closed.
"Miss, where did you get this cloak? I've never seen you wear it before." Yun Ling came over and saw this scene, reaching out to take the cloak, "Let me hang it up for you."
Shen Shuwei avoided her hand, and when she reacted, Yun Ling was looking at her in confusion.
Suppressing the turbulent thoughts in his heart, Shen Shuwei shook his head and said, "No need, go and do your own thing. I have other plans for this-this dress."
Yun Ling touched her nose. Although she didn't understand why, she still obediently did her work.
Chen Shuwei sat down holding the cloak, his expression somewhat complicated.
Even she herself couldn't explain why she refused to give the cloak to Yun Ling just now. It was probably because of her selfish motives.
Whether she admits it or not, Jing Yin or Zhao Yun, this person still left a deep and indelible mark in her heart.
Chen Shuwei put away her cloak and went to the kitchen to make ginger tea. The misty white steam blurred her facial features.
"Girl, girl?"
Just as he was lost in thought, he heard Qingdai calling him. Shen Shuwei quickly came back to his senses, "What's wrong?"
Qing Dai pointed to the porcelain spoon filled with sugar in her hand and said, "Miss, you have already added sugar. If you add more, it will be too sweet. The eldest and second young masters are not sweet lovers."
Shen Shuwei silently poured the sugar back, "Yeah, I understand."
The eldest and second brothers really don’t like sweet food, but Jing Yin likes to use sweetness to suppress the taste of ginger.
Now that everyone has left, he still shamelessly occupies a place in my heart and refuses to leave.
Chen Shuwei had just made the ginger tea and before it had time to cool down, Shen Zhang came back.
After taking a shower, he changed into dry clothes. When he heard that Shen Shuwei was making ginger tea for him in the kitchen, he came over happily with the bowl in hand.
"Third sister, where's the ginger tea?"
Shen Shuwei heard his voice from a distance, and with some amusement, he gestured to Qingdai to pour him a bowl of ginger tea.
Shen Zhang took it and poured it into his mouth without paying attention to Shen Shuwei's words "be careful, it's hot".
After finishing the drink, he put down the empty bowl, wiped his mouth and said happily, "I'm all wet. Third sister, you're so thoughtful and thought of making a bowl of ginger tea to help me sweat."
Shen Shuwei was instructing the little maid to deliver Shen Heng's portion to his courtyard, and to stop by Shen Yuan and Shen Zhiyang's courtyards. If they were not asleep, she would also deliver a bowl to them.
"Why did you come back so late, second brother? Did you get delayed in completing your mission?" Shen Shuwei personally filled another bowl and handed it to Shen Zhang.
Shen Zhang drank slowly this time, saying as he drank, "Not really, I was delayed because I was given some new tasks."
Shen Shuwei stood beside him holding the bowl and looked up curiously, "But is it about the Third Princess?"
Hearing Chen Shuwei mention Xiao Fufeng, Chen Zhang sneered, "She and the Third Prince, two golden statues, don't need me. It's that Prince Jiang from the Northern Frontier who has come to the capital, and His Majesty has asked us, the Imperial Guards, to take charge of the safety of his residence."
Should the imperial guards be responsible for the security of the minister's residence, or should the young minister who holds military power far away in the northern border be responsible?
Chen Shu narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking of something, and said nothing more.
"But the Third Princess Xiao Fufeng you mentioned is indeed getting married soon." Chen Zhang placed the bowl on the stove and sneered, "When I left, His Majesty had already issued an imperial decree granting Xiao Fufeng her marriage to Emperor Sun Mingzong, to take place in three months. Concubine Rou even dragged Xiao Chengping to kneel in front of the Yangxin Palace for a long time, probably hoping that His Majesty would cover up for Xiao Fufeng. She never expected the imperial decree granting the marriage to come."
"Two snakes and rats on one side, if these two get together, there will be a lot of fun to watch in the future."
Shen Shuwei heard the sarcasm in Shen Zhang's words, smiled faintly, and took his bowl and spoon.
"Brother, go and have a rest. You still have to be on duty tomorrow."
Shen Zhang responded, told Shen Shuwei to rest early, and strode out of the kitchen.
Looking at the rain curtain like a waterfall under the eaves, Chen Shuwei rubbed his eyebrows.
She always had a sense of foreboding that a storm was about to come.
-
"This herb bag was found on your personal maid, and I have already dealt with that maid for you. You won't see her again." In the dim room, a slender figure leaned back in an armchair and spoke in a calm voice.
Princess Anyang broke out in a cold sweat and took a small step forward, pleading in her words, "Brother, I know I was wrong. I didn't do this. It was the Third Princess—it was she who did it! I just gave her some herbs from the Northern Frontier."
Jiang Heng had a faint smile on his face, but his eyes were cold and emotionless. "Anyang, you've done it, so what? It doesn't matter if you dare to do it or not. Is this what my mother and I have always taught you?"
Princess Anyang looked at him, opened her mouth, but said nothing.
"We are both women, but you gave her such a vile drug. You have a vicious mind. You dare not admit it after being instigated. You are cowardly." Jiang Heng looked at her and spoke slowly. His voice was calm, but it was like a knife stabbing Anyang's heart.
"I brought you here because you promised me that you wouldn't cause any trouble in Luojing. If you dare to cause any more trouble and ruin my plans, I will have my mother find you a good marriage in the Northern Frontier and marry you off well."
Anyang's face turned pale instantly and he couldn't help but panic.
No, she hasn't caught up with Brother Ziyin yet, how can she go back like this?
Suddenly she thought of something, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, and took out a transparent peace locket from her bosom, "Brother, you can't send me back, I found my sister!"
Lin Yan, who was walking in from outside, saw the peace locket and stopped in his tracks.
This peace locket, how is this possible? !
Jiang Heng reached out and picked up the peace locket, rubbed it in his palm for a moment, and then lifted the red rope around his neck, revealing an identical peace locket, except that the patterns on it were slightly different.
One is Chilong and the other is Qingluan.
The peace locket lay in the palm of his hand, and the blue phoenix spread its wings and flew high, circling along the round and curved white jade.
Anyang stared at the peace locket with hope, "Brother, the person who gave me the peace locket said that she has worn it since she was a child. This must be my sister."
She had not originally intended to show the peace locket to Jiang Heng so soon. Princess Lin Zhao and Jiang Heng were not that close to her. If her biological daughter was found, she would have no status at all.
But Jiang Heng is a person who cannot tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes. She was caught for committing such a serious crime, and she could only pray that she could atone for her sins with this peace locket.
