Aunt Cui looked at the white jade cake in Shen Changshan's hand, and a trace of contempt appeared in her eyes.
This is the cheapest pastry in the Rong family.
Without the Shen family, Shen Changshan would be of no use at all.
Now I can’t even afford good osmanthus cakes.
Aunt Cui tried to hold back and carefully tasted a piece: "Yuqing, you won't beg Concubine Zhao, right?"
Aunt Cui lowered her head.
When she mentioned the word "Zhao Fei", a hint of worry appeared in her eyes.
She was afraid that Shen Fu knew something.
From the moment she was caned, Aunt Cui had been trying to figure out why this happened.
Come to think of it, she had only offended Shen Fu.
His Majesty is so busy with his affairs that he has no time to care about her.
What I am afraid of is whether Chen Fu knows something.
What happened back then, and also, what happened to her mother.
"Yuqing, although Chen Fu is not my daughter, she is also your flesh and blood." Aunt Cui tested carefully.
"Although we don't know Qingru as well as we did when we watched her grow up, she is your child, so she can't be bad."
"How can she compare to Qingru in the slightest?" Shen Changshan asked subconsciously.
After he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly became sad.
"Our Qingru is dead. Maybe she was the one who killed her."
When Aunt Cui thought of this, she felt vicious in her heart.
It is obvious that the one that Chen Fu owns now should be Qingru's.
The emperor's favor, supreme glory, and even the unattainable throne.
If I had known this earlier, I should not have let Shen Fu enter the palace.
Whenever she thought of this, Aunt Cui felt regretful.
If it wasn't for the method she had thought of, she would have let Shen Fu take over the emperor's bedchamber and thus won his favor.
How could there be the Chen Fu of today?
Then her daughter wouldn't have to die.
But her daughter died, why is Shen Fu still alive?
Whenever she thought of this, Aunt Cui felt a surge of hatred in her heart.
I knew it earlier!
If I had known this earlier, I should have dealt with it before the baby was born.
Aunt Cui lowered her head and forced out the piercing hatred: "Yuqing, how about you beg the Concubine Zhao?"
When Shen Changshan heard this, a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes.
If asking Concubine Zhao for help could solve the problem, then it would be most convenient for him to do so.
But... Shen Changshan's eyes fell on Cui Niang: "She has hurt you so much, and you still speak for her."
Cui Niang has a kind heart.
Shen Changshan's heart had already melted into a ball: "For you, I will not forgive that evildoer."
"You have devoted yourself to me. Ever since I met you, my life has been given to me by you."
Shen Changshan gently kissed Aunt Cui’s forehead: “I, Shen Changshan, will not do anything to let you down.”
"How can there be any overnight grudge between father and daughter?" Aunt Cui lay in his arms, sighing softly.
"If the person sitting in that position today was Qingru, how could we have ended up like this?"
Hearing the word Qingru, Shen Changshan’s eyes also showed a trace of sadness: “Yes.”
If the person sitting in that position today was Qingru.
Then how could he, the Shen family, and Cui Niang end up like this?
Qingru is his good daughter.
As for Chen Fu, everything she encountered today was all her own fault.
The more he thought about it, the less guilty Shen Changshan felt about what he had done.
These were all chosen by Shen Fu herself.
Don't blame yourself.
He did this out of self-protection.
Shen Changshan thought about what he had done.
Things have been done, and when everyone in Kyoto knows about it, if Chen Fu wants fame, she will definitely come to him.
Then you can propose your own conditions.
After all, he is her father. Even if Shen Fu doesn't want to, she has to do it according to his wishes.
"In a few days, we will be able to return to Dong." Shen Changshan stroked Aunt Cui's head and spoke with a solemn vow.
Aunt Cui's eyes lit up a little: "Mrs. Cui must have heard everything clearly."
Their eyes were locked together, and they couldn't move away from each other.
Aunt Cui is injured and cannot move for the time being. But this did not hinder their deep affection.
Their eyes met, and Aunt Cui leaned on Chen Changshan's shoulder delicately: "Mr. Qing, I will definitely believe you."
Although her back was aching, Aunt Cui remained calm.
But Shen Changshan's heart was filled with beating drums.
Cui Niang was so weak, but she gave herself, body and soul to him.
I will never let Cui Niang down.
Just as the two were about to get close to each other, there was a knock on the door.
"Master, the old lady wants you to come over."
The old lady stood at the door and shouted.
"Niang Cui, I'll come over here for you." Shen Changshan frowned, then pushed the person in his arms away with a little force.
"I'll be back soon."
Aunt Cui felt a sharp pain in her lower back as a result of his force.
She immediately covered the corners of her mouth, and then raised her head and smiled at Shen Changshan: "Then you should come back early."
Aunt Cui placed her fingertips on the palm of his hand, rubbing it gently.
When Shen Changshan left, there was still a smile on his face.
Until we reached the old lady's room.
Ever since Mr. Shen fainted that day, he has been suffering from colds.
Lying on the bed, he lost a lot of weight in just a few days.
Seeing her own son coming in, the old lady's confused eyes finally brightened up a little: "Son, you are finally here.
"Mother." Shen Changshan took two or three steps towards her and held her hand.
"Did you do what your mother asked you to do?"
Elder Shen lay on the bed, looking at the person in front of him expectantly: "I ask you to beg, Concubine Zhao, are you begging?"
The reason why they acted like this was because of Empress Zhaofei.
If Concubine Zhao could say a good word for them. Even if just a few words were leaked.
Then they wouldn't have ended up like this.
Facing his mother's trusting eyes, Shen Changshan lowered his head silently: "No."
Why did he ask Shen Fu for help?
Just as Cui Niang said, Chen Fu was born to him, so she is his child.
She is where she is today, so shouldn't she be grateful that I gave her life.
It doesn’t matter if you never thank yourself.
Now that he has climbed to a high position, he is colluding with others to frame me.
Without thinking back to this point, Shen Changshan was filled with hatred.
It's her.
It was she who occupied Qingru's life. If it weren't for her, how could Qingru have died?
This evil person killed his daughter and now wants to harm him.
"If you believe me, just beg Queen Zhaofei." Old Man Shen thought about it for two days and finally figured out the cause of the incident.
This time it was all because I bet on the wrong horse.
Concubine Zhao was so favored, and the Shen family left her there and turned a blind eye to her. It was bound to cause trouble over time.
"Good boy, it's not too late." Even at this point, Mrs. Shen remained calm.
Because she was confident: "You are the father of Concubine Zhao, you just need to beg her, and she will definitely forgive you..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Changshan stood up suddenly.
"Why?" Shen Changshan frowned tightly.
"I am her father, so she should come to me for help. When have you ever seen a father beg his daughter?"
Isn’t this a huge joke?
Shen Changshan was still the same, complacent and not caring about anything.
This appearance frightened Old Mrs. Shen, who was sitting on the bed, so much that she stared into the distance in a daze.
She stretched out her hand and pointed at Shen Changshan: "You, you, how can you think like this?"
Even if she doesn't like Shen Fu.
But she would not do such a daydream.
"Do you think Shen Fu is still the same person who allowed you to do whatever you wanted, or even the one you didn't even look at?"
When Old Madam Shen said this, there was even a tremor in the ending tone.
"Who is she now?"
"She is Concubine Zhao in the palace!" She has the highest status among the concubines in the palace and is the most favored by the Emperor.
"She has a prince, and I'm afraid the position of crown prince will be his in the future!" When Old Lady Shen said these words, she felt her mind suddenly become clear.
She was confused.
Such favor, such honor, looking at me, others probably dare not even think about it.
But they had previously allowed Concubine Zhao, their powerful backer, to slip away right under their noses.
The Shen family deserves the fate they have now ended up like this!
Old Mrs. Shen regretted it very much.
He bit his teeth hard and said, "The fact that we have someone like Concubine Zhao must be due to the good deeds of our ancestors."
As long as she can get through this difficult time, she must put aside all her previous thoughts.
He tried every possible means to climb onto the high branch of Concubine Zhao.
From now on, the Shen family will no longer have to worry about wealth and glory for their lifetime, no, for several lifetimes.
Old Madam Shen clenched her palms tightly and said, "Listen to me. Tomorrow you will kneel at the gate of the palace and ask to see Concubine Zhao."
"Women are soft-hearted, and you are her father. When the time comes, you just need to kneel for a while and she will definitely want to see you."
"Mother, that's enough!"
After the words fell, they were interrupted by Shen Changshan: “I can’t kneel anymore.”
Shen Changshan said directly: "I have offended her."
Without waiting for Old Lady Shen to speak, Shen Changshan directly took out the things in his arms and handed them over: "I will paste them all over the street. After a day, Shen Fu will definitely come to see me on her own initiative."
What.
Old Mrs. Shen took it in a daze. After reading the words clearly, she felt dizzy.
"You, why did you write this?" She had just been thinking about asking Shen Changshan to beg for help.
But if this thing goes down, wouldn’t this last hope be gone?
If I don't say that I'm asking for help, wouldn't that be offending people again?
Old Mrs. Shen raised her hands, still somewhat incredulous.
"I'm her father." Shen Changshan lowered his eyes indifferently.
Shen Fu was his daughter, so of course she had to listen to him.
“By then, the whole of Kyoto will know that she is cruel and unfilial, and has harmed her family.” When he said these words, a trace of guilt emerged in Shen Changshan’s heart.
He was not nice to Shen Fu. Since she was born, he had never even taken the initiative to look at her.
However, this cannot be a reason for Shen Fu to harm him without reason.
The mother is innocent, but how innocent is Cui Niang?
"Mother, I am her father, and she will definitely listen to me when the time comes." Shen Changshan vowed.
"You are his father, then Your Majesty is still her husband!" Old Mrs. Shen shouted at the top of her voice.
She looked at the man with disdain.
It was like meeting my own son for the first time.
"How could I give birth to such a stupid thing like you?" It would be fine if he just doted on Aunt Cui on weekdays.
He doesn't want the children born to his wife, but instead treats the children born to his concubine as treasures.
Old Madam Shen could tolerate this.
After all, they are your own children.
But the children born to Aunt Cui were ultimately not presentable enough.
She entered the palace a few years earlier than Chen Fu, so it was okay that she didn't receive the favor of His Majesty. In the end, he even incurred the disgust of His Majesty.
The facts show that a wife and daughter are still needed.
"Do you think that as a father you can do whatever you want? Or do you think that His Majesty will not cause trouble for you?"
Old Man Shen clenched the cane beside the bed and said, "You wrote these things, do you think His Majesty will forgive you?"
Shen Changshan’s heart did inevitably beat.
I was a little panicked for a moment, but I quickly suppressed it: "But as a father, if I tell my daughter about these things, does His Majesty still want to take care of the household affairs?"
"You are still stubborn and recalcitrant." He thought he was Concubine Zhao's father.
On the one hand, she hated her daughter, but on the other hand, she secretly enjoyed the blessing.
Even if he was in a desperate situation, he would not think about anything else. Instead, he hoped that Shen Fu would bow her head and put him back to his original position.
It’s ruined, ruined, everything is ruined.
All of it vanished into thin air.
“How could you do such a stupid thing?!” Old Madam Shen raised the cane in her hand and was about to smash it down at Shen Changshan.
With a "bang", before the hand fell, the door was kicked open by someone.
A group of men wearing armor and wearing bows on their waists walked in. The huge group of people crowded into the room, and the room became a little darker.
"Who are you?"
Shen Changshan stared blankly at the person who came. His gaze lingered on the armor of these people for a moment.
"Are you from the palace?"
But just as the words fell, the leading man raised the portrait in his hand and took a look: "Shen Changshan?"
“I am.” Shen Changshan nodded in acknowledgement.
Could it be that the people who came from the palace were sent by Shen Fu? He had just posted it, could it be that he got the news so quickly?
"Take him away!" As soon as the words fell, the leading man raised his hand.
Several guards behind him came in in a mighty manner, and pushed Shen Changshan out one on the left and one on the right.
"No, who are you? Let me go!" Shen Changshan finally reacted.
He struggled to break free: "Let me go, who sent you, is it Shen Fu, is it her?"
"Are you worthy enough to call Imperial Concubine Zhao's name?" The guard behind him kicked him on the knee.
Shen Changshan cried out in pain, his knees softened and he fell heavily to the ground.
He knelt on the spot, gasping for breath in pain, and could hardly stand up.
My mind was in a trance.
What imperial concubine?
Isn’t it Concubine Zhao?
When did Chen Fu get promoted, and was she promoted from a concubine to a noble concubine in one leap?
His Majesty has few concubines in his harem, and he has never favored anyone else except Chen Fu.
This Imperial Noble Consort is also the Vice Queen. Although she is called the Imperial Noble Consort, what is the difference between her and bringing the concubines from the harem to her?
Shen Changshan was completely panicked.
What he did not only did not arouse the emperor's disgust, but made the emperor love Shen Fu even more.
That means that no matter what, His Majesty will not give up his daughter.
If so, if I hadn’t done these.
Then he...
"My sons. What are you doing?" Old Madam Shen stumbled down.
"My Lords, where are you taking him?"
"We have been ordered to take Changshan Palace!"
The two guards ignored the obstruction and carried Shen Changshan out, one on the left and one on the right.
Shen Changshan was dragged onto the snow, his long gown soaked in the ice and snow. He looked at Old Lady Shen, who was staggering and chasing after him with the help of a cane.
A hint of emotion appeared in his eyes, but he used all his strength to shout at Old Lady Shen:
: "Mother, please take good care of Cui Niang!"
