498: Good calculation
Su Zhi thought that this was most likely not Shen Zhu's own will. Even if she wanted to climb up the social ladder and become a phoenix, she would not use this method, at least not with a man like this. She believed that Shen Zhu would use this method to plot against Meng Jinliang.
Su Zhi thought there were two possibilities. One possibility was that Shen Zhu wanted to plot against Meng Jinliang, but something went wrong and she became someone else by mistake.
Another possibility is that Shen Zhu did not plot against anyone, she was the one being plotted, but the person who plotted against her did not expect that she would be discovered.
Su Zhi wasn't sure whether there was a third or fourth possibility, she felt that the first two possibilities were almost enough.
Before entering the house, Su Zhi heard low sobbing sounds coming from inside. She knew the voice was Shen Zhu's. From the sound, Su Zhi felt that Shen Zhu was crying sincerely and it didn't seem like she was pretending.
After entering the house, Su Zhi found that Shen Zian was inside. He turned around and saw Su Zhi, and immediately came over to support Su Zhi.
"Why are you here? Don't get involved in this kind of thing, so as not to pollute your eyes and affect our baby."
Shen Zian wanted Su Zhi to leave. He didn't want his wife to worry about such things.
Shen Zhu heard what Shen Zian said. She was originally just sobbing quietly, but now her voice became louder and she said, "Fourth Brother! You are really my good Fourth Brother! How can you say that about your own sister? I have encountered such a pitiful thing, but not only did you not comfort me, you also said that it would pollute the eyes of Fourth Sister-in-law! Are you trying to force me to death? I would rather die!"
Then there was a burst of noise, mixed with the woman's voice of pleading and begging.
"Miss! Miss! Please don't die! My wife will be heartbroken if you die!"
This is the voice of the little maid beside Shen Zhu.
"Oh my god! My life is so miserable! I came here just to look at the moon and take a rest, but it turned out like this. How can I live like this? If I don't die, it will be hard to prove my innocence! I am a good and innocent girl, but I am ruined like this. How can I face people in the future? I'd rather die! So as not to pollute the eyes of some people!"
Shen Zhu said this while crying, and then the maid started begging again.
Shen Zian said: "Don't cry anymore. If you keep crying, just solve the problem yourself! You want to cry because everyone knows about this, so just cry!"
Shen Zhu's crying stopped immediately. She didn't want more people to know. Even if the man in today's incident was Meng Jinliang, she didn't want too many people to know that a woman had a secret meeting with a man before getting married. If this matter got out, she would not be able to show her face in front of everyone. Even if she finally married that man, others would think she was a shameless woman.
Shen Zhu didn't want to be that kind of woman. She wanted to marry into a wealthy family. She wanted to accept the envious and flattering eyes of others, rather than the contemptuous, mocking and distant eyes.
Su Zhi thought Shen Zhu still had some shame, that was good. At least today's incident would not be a big deal. If it was a big deal, she would not be the only one to be embarrassed, the entire Shen family, the Mu family, and of course the Wang Feng family would all be embarrassed, including the Imperial Concubine. If that happened, it would be a big deal, Shen Zhu would not have a good ending, and they would also become enemies with the Wang family headed by the Imperial Concubine.
Although she already had a grudge against the imperial concubine because of the Second Prince, Su Zhi didn't want to add another layer of hatred because of Shen Zhu's incident.
In today's incident, no matter right or wrong, the woman is more embarrassed. It might even affect the reputation of the Shen family, including Shen Zian and his family who have already separated.
Madam Mu said, "Master Wang, what exactly is going on here? You have to give us an explanation!"
Su Zhi looked at Wang Feng. She saw him as soon as she came in. Shen Zhu was in another room, and he was outside, looking depressed at this moment.
In fact, Shen Zian had been questioning Wang Feng about what was going on. Although Wang Feng was afraid of Shen Zian's aura, he had a sister who was a concubine and had been a concubine for a long time. For the sake of face, he was not afraid of Shen Zian. While he was resisting Shen Zian's pressure, Madam Mu and her friends came. He just breathed a sigh of relief, and when he heard Madam Mu asking him, he said what he had prepared.
Wang Feng said that he felt bored watching the opera, so he came out to get some fresh air. There was a light in the room, and he knew that this was a place for guests to rest, so he wanted to come over and take a break. As a result, he smelled a fragrance as soon as he came in, and then he didn't know what was going on. When he came to his senses, everything was set in stone.
Madam Mu frowned and asked the maid beside her to fetch the incense ash from the incense burner.
The old woman was also knowledgeable. She just sniffed it, covered her nose and came back, saying, "Madam, there is something wrong with the incense."
Needless to say, this kind of fragrance not only has an aphrodisiac effect, but also has a magical effect, which is why Wang Feng made a move on the woman next to him without realizing it.
Mrs. Mu asked Shen Zhu what she was doing here.
Shen Zhu sobbed and said, "It was Second Miss Mu who asked me to come here, so I came. I never thought that I didn't see her, but something like this happened! It must be her who hurt me! Madam Mu, you have to make a decision for me. You can't protect her just because she is the second lady in the mansion! Even for the sake of Fourth Brother and Sister-in-law, you have to make a decision for me! My innocence was completely ruined by her!"
Madam Mu must have had something to do with Mu Weizhi, and she raised her eyebrows. Ever since her daughter got into trouble, she had always suspected that her daughter's death was related to Aunt Liu and her son, but she had no evidence. Later, she developed an eye disease and her energy was running low, so she ignored the mother and daughter. Now that her daughter is back, she is happy, but also distressed for the suffering her daughter has endured over the years, and wants to find out who hurt her and avenge her. So she began to suspect the mother and daughter again. Now that Shen Zhu is in trouble and Mu Weizhi is mentioned, she naturally will not cover up for Mu Weizhi.
"Don't worry, Zhu'er, if this matter is really related to her, our Mu family will definitely not cover up for her!"
"Thank you ma'am."
Shen Zhu thanked him. She thought to herself, "It's impossible for me to be with the uncle now. You don't have the chance to succeed!" In fact, she lied to Madam Mu. It was not Mu Weizhi who asked her to come here. She came here by herself. She also put the incense in. She made an appointment with Meng Jinliang here and wanted to marry him. She thought that no matter how noble the uncle was, as long as he had skin-to-skin contact with her, he would definitely marry her.
Meng Jinliang is a gentleman, Shen Zhu feels that he will definitely take on this responsibility. Moreover, she is not an ordinary woman. If before she was just the sister of a runner-up in the imperial examination and was not worthy of him, then now her fourth brother and his wife are extraordinary. If she becomes his wife, he will definitely marry her!
Shen Zhu had a good idea, but she didn't expect that Meng Jinliang didn't come, and the person who came was actually Wang Feng!
Shen Zhu thought that she had told Meng Jinliang that she wanted to tell him about the fourth sister-in-law. Meng Jinliang had deep feelings for the fourth sister-in-law and had not married her until now. If she wanted to tell him about the fourth sister-in-law, he would definitely come. But he did not come. The person who came was Wang Feng. This place is so remote and there are so few people now. How could it be such a coincidence that Wang Feng came? Shen Zhu thought that it must be Mu Weizhi who was playing tricks. Mu Weizhi must have somehow known that she wanted to meet Meng Jinliang, so she stopped Meng Jinliang and sent Wang Feng here. It must be like this!
Shen Zhu was unwilling to believe that it was God's will that she lost her virginity to Wang Feng. She needed to find an outlet for her anger, and Mu Weizhi was the outlet she found. She thought that if she couldn't marry Meng Jinliang, Mu Weizhi shouldn't even think about it!
"Shen Zhu, stop slandering me!"
Speak of the devil and he will appear. As soon as I mentioned Mu Weizhi, she came. As soon as she heard Shen Zhu's words, she was furious.
It was indeed Mu Weizhi who brought Wang Feng here, and it was she who stopped Meng Jinliang, but Shen Zhu's coming here had nothing to do with her. Shen Zhu was obviously framing her, so how could she not be angry?
Mu Weizhi also felt that Shen Zhu was a little abnormal today. After seeing her leave, she also left. Then she found out what she said to Meng Jinliang. She thought that Shen Zhu really wanted to take the opportunity to seduce Meng Jinliang, but she would never let her do so. Because she knew that her cousin Wang Feng had evil thoughts about Shen Zhu, she led Wang Feng there. She just thought that Wang Feng would make a move when he saw Shen Zhu, but she didn't expect Shen Zhu to be so bold as to use spices to make things a fait accompli with Meng Jinliang. In the end, Wang Feng got the advantage.
Mu Weizhi thought that Shen Zhu really deserved it.
Mu Weizhi was the one who caused Shen Zhu to become like this, but she thought it was all Shen Zhu's own fault. If Shen Zhu hadn't used that despicable spice, Wang Feng might not have succeeded at all, and it had nothing to do with her.
"Mother, you have to make the decision for your daughter. I never asked her to meet here. If your daughter wants to meet and talk with her, why not go anywhere else? Why in such a remote place? Anyone with a smart mind would think that this is not a place for girls to meet and would refuse. Miss Shen is not a fool. Why would she come here to wait for me?"
Mu Weizhi was not a stupid person. She was able to clear herself of suspicion with just a few words, and even poured a large basin of dirty water on Shen Zhu's head.
"It's obvious to me that she wanted to take the opportunity to frame Brother Jinliang, but Brother Jinliang met me on the road and arrived too late, so my cousin fell into her trap! Now she wants to harm me. She wants to take the opportunity to step on me and successfully clear her reputation, and then think about marrying my cousin? In this way, my cousin won't be able to blame you, and he will be nice to you. You have a good plan!"
"So that's what happened, but I'm so wronged!"
At this time, Wang Feng also yelled with a look of grievance and anger. He didn't want to marry Shen Zhu. Shen Zhu was okay in appearance, but she was not a beauty of heaven and earth. She was just a country girl. He didn't want to marry her, so he wanted to use Mu Weizhi's words to get out of it quickly.
