Chapter 416 He has to marry and have children, and he has to be well
. Shen Zhiyi withdrew.
There were only two people left in the empty hall.
Shen Jin invited Yu Tingwan to sit down: "I noticed you at the last funeral banquet for the prince."
She spoke casually, as if she was treating her own junior.
"Very bold."
"You dare to secretly stuff food into your mouth while kneeling."
Shen Jin handed over the white jade cup with tea: "But I didn't expect Wei Zhao to be more presumptuous. He was afraid that you would be hungry after you finished eating, and didn't forget to ask someone to send you."
Yu Tingwan:...
At that time, she didn't know about the relationship between Shen Jin and her uncle, but she had seen her next to the queen
mother. She only knew that she was Shen Zhiyi's aunt.
It's no wonder that Shen Zhiyi dared to be so ostentatious outside with someone in the palace.
Yu Tingwan was not restrained either.
"I'm sorry to make you laugh."
Shen Jin: "What's the matter?"
She didn't care: "Your status is there, as long as you don't blow up the prince's coffin, there will be someone to protect you."
Yu Tingwan:...
Not that, not that.
As he spoke, Shen Jin's eyes fell on Yu Tingwan's belly: "Are you pregnant?"
Otherwise, how could she eat so much?
Even Ning Suchan, who couldn't tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes, turned a blind eye?
Yu Tingwan was holding a cup of water and almost spit it out when she heard the words.
"No."
She thought so!
Shen Jin didn't know if it was a pity.
"That's right. Wei Zhao is so sick."
However.
The emotion in her eyes faded.
"It's good this way."
She looked at Yu Tingwan: "He is not in good health. Without an heir, he will not pose a threat to the Ying family, and that person will not attack you."
The Wei family will be safe.
There are too many tragedies under the imperial power.
This is a blessing in disguise.
Shen Jin said lightly: "I have finished what I want to say, it's your turn."
She didn't think there was anything worth visiting.
Yu Tingwan didn't expect Shen Jin to be so direct.
She also got to the point.
"There are many things wrong with coming to visit today."
Shen Jin: ...
It's indeed wrong, the queen mother is jealous.
Yu Tingwan said softly, "But I have to come and see you once."
She took out the well-kept box from her sleeve and gently pushed it in front of Shen Jin.
"I got this from the old woman who served my late grandmother."
"Grandma Ma is old and thinks I am the imperial concubine."
Shen Jin's eyes trembled slightly, and his sight slowly fell on the box. For a moment, there was no other movement.
She looked very young, and the years had favored her, as if they had not left too many traces on her.
But it was also ruthless.
After making her unable to control herself.
And took away the person she cared about most.
Actually... there was no hope.
Shen Jin's hand under her sleeve tightened, wanting to touch, but her hand fell in mid-air and was taken back.
She still remembers that when she was young, she secretly went out to the city gate to welcome the Wei family army back from the victory with the people of Shangjing.
Wei Fengyuan rode on a horse, leading the team, with handsome eyebrows and high spirits.
Few people know that Shen Jin and Wei Fengyuan have known each other since childhood.
The Shen family was not as well-known as the Shunguo Mansion, so they did not have much contact at the beginning.
But Wei Fengyuan had practiced martial arts since childhood, and had been working in the military camp for many years. At that time, she lived with her grandmother in a farm in the suburbs, and was used to the wild life. She often went to the creek to fish.
It was not far from the military camp, and Wei Fengyuan was lazy when he was young and went out for a bite to eat. As a result, they often met at the creek and became familiar with each other.
It happened to be the Lantern Festival, and there was no curfew in the city at night, and the lights were bright.
After he went to the palace to report to the late emperor, he did not go home. He took off his armor and changed into casual clothes and came to see her.
Old friends reunited.
She complained about the bad things in the mansion.
Nothing more than.
- "Wei Fengyuan, don't you know how snobbish my father and brother are?"
- "All the concubines in the family are cunning and need to be disciplined."
——"Are you okay with your injury this time? I heard that you were stabbed, and your lower body...your brother was injured? Broken?"
——"We are not going to be sisters, are we?"
Wei Fengyuan's face darkened.
He also said a lot.
——"The sky is blue at the border, and you can ride a horse. It will be fun to go there."
——"We haven't seen each other for a long time, so you should wait for me. As a girl, you should be more polite when you speak. Are you embarrassed?"
——"I'm fine! Do you believe everything that is said outside?"
That day, he also completely broke the window paper.
——"Who wants to be a sister with you? Do you think I am free to send you letters every month? My brother doesn't have this treatment. We have known each other for a long time, right? I want to make do with you. Do you want me to be clearer? I want to have a long future with you."
——"Every time you come to greet me, do you squeeze in the crowd?"
——"Marry me, and wait for me at the door in the future, okay?"
How long ago was it that I thought of that person last time.
It had been so long that she thought she had let it go.
But in fact, she hadn't. Instead, she became more and more cowardly and dared not touch it.
Shen Jin didn't dare to think about it anymore.
She moved the box back.
"Take it back."
Yu Tingwan didn't expect her to have this attitude.
"You... don't you want to open it and take a look?"
Shen Jin smiled, but her smile was very faint.
"I've seen the jade pendant inside."
Yu Tingwan was slightly stunned.
"At the beginning, your uncle received the imperial order and returned to the border after staying in Shangjing for a few days. It was originally agreed that it would be given to me as a token of love when proposing marriage. But he was afraid that I would fall in love with someone else, so he was so overbearing that he hung it directly around my waist and agreed that when he proposed to me as his wife, I would also wear the jade pendant when entering the Wei family."
Shen Jin: "But later, after entering the palace, the jade pendant was not appropriate for me. After all, I let him down. When your uncle came back from the border, I was already a palace concubine and couldn't see him again, so I asked the servants around me to return it."
She didn't mention a word. At that time, she took out the jade pendant to show her brother and father.
She talked about her and Wei Fengyuan, and she said she wanted to be the second wife of the Duke of Shun.
She knelt on the ground and begged her relatives not to send her to the palace.
But her father and brother scolded her for being confused.
——"General Jingyuan is good, but can he compare with the emperor? What kind of family is our Shen family? Not high or low, the emperor likes you, just be happy."
Some people were quick and sent her to the palace the next day.
No one reacted.
No one stopped it. It
was not that the jade pendant was not sent out.
It was returned with regret and helplessness.
At the same time, it was with Shen Jin's expectations.
She felt that she was not worthy of Wei Fengyuan's concern, and hoped that Wei Fengyuan could find a new owner for this jade pendant that she had briefly owned.
She was ruined, and her life would be like this.
But Wei Fengyuan had to marry and have children, and he had to be well.
But he sacrificed.
He was alone and didn't even leave an heir in the end.
How could Shen Jin have the face to accept it?
Yu Tingwan handed the box back.
"The Concubine Dowager must have heard that my husband and I got married in the countryside."
"It was some time ago that my husband personally added my name to the family tree in the ancestral hall."
"The Wei family tree is particularly thick."
She spoke in a casual tone, neither hurried nor slow.
"I heard that the early generations were particularly prosperous, but by the time of my father-in-law's generation, there were only him and my uncle."
"My father-in-law's name and my mother-in-law's name were next to each other."
Yu Tingwan said, "I also saw my uncle's name listed next to my father-in-law."
She slowly looked at Shen Jin and said word by word.
"My uncle never married in his life, but he also has a name next to his name like my parents-in-law."
Shen Jin forgot to breathe for a while.
Yu Tingwan: "My husband later told me that it was my uncle's handwriting."
No one would read the family tree casually.
Obviously, Wei Zhao was also surprised. He didn't know when Wei Fengyuan wrote it down and what he had in mind.
Coveting the palace concubine?
Yes, he did.
Yu Tingwan: "Your uncle recognizes you."
"If you are included in the family tree and enshrined in the ancestral hall, then you are recognized by the elders of the Wei family."
She called Shen Jin very softly: "Aunt, this is the return of the property to its original owner."
In the empty palace, after an unknown amount of time, the suppressed cry of a woman could be heard.
