"Bailu Academy?" Shen Fu raised her voice subconsciously.
Shen Changshan beside him seemed not to hear it, he was still immersed in the memories of the past.
"I was studying at Bailu Academy at that time." Bailu Academy was outside Kyoto, and the men who studied there were all preparing for the imperial examinations in the future.
Shen Changshan knew how difficult it was to study, and he studied hard every day. But I didn't expect that when I was going down the mountain one time, I didn't pay attention and rolled down the hillside.
"It was Cui Niang who saved me at that time."
The way down the mountain was so steep, yet Cui Niang, with her thin body, was able to carry herself up.
They carried him all the way from the foot of the mountain to the clinic.
Whenever Shen Changshan thought about it, he still felt his heart trembling.
Cui Niang is so weak and thin.
But that day, the little girl still managed to pull herself back from death.
"She saved my life. I will never let Cui Niang down in my life."
Shen Changshan raised his head and looked at Shen Fu opposite him, his eyes were filled with uncontrollable heat: "Tell me, how can I let down such a person?"
Shen Fu nodded.
According to Shen Changshan, he was indeed truly in love with Cui Niang.
The most important thing is that Cui Niang is also so affectionate and righteous.
At first glance, it does sound very strange.
But just…Chen Fu always felt that something was wrong.
She had met that Cui Niang more than once.
Such a fragile person is like a flower that needs to be held in the palm of your hand.
She is so delicate, yet she still has the courage to rescue someone from the foot of the mountain?
Shen Fu looked at Shen Changshan's straight and tall body.
There was a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
"I lied to your mother at the beginning, it was my fault." Maybe what he said was right, Shen Changshan's mood became relaxed.
He leaned against the door frame and sighed deeply.
"But after meeting your mother, I also thought about being with your mother."
Shen Changshan couldn't even forget every little detail of when he was with Gu.
Although it was only a short period of time, he still can't forget it when he thinks about it now.
"Your mother's death was really just an accident." Shen Changshan's hand fell on the door railing and he looked at Chen Fu intently:
"Mother Cui has no grudge against you. You have imprisoned me here. It is my fault as a father, but how can Mother Cui be innocent?"
When he thought of Cui Niang suffering at this moment, Shen Changshan's heart felt like it was fried in oil, and he turned pale with pain.
: "You let Cui Niang go."
"If you have any dissatisfaction, just come to me. Cui Niang is innocent and she is injured. If..."
What if he couldn't go back, or if Cui Niang's illness was left unattended.
“I’m afraid Cui Niang will die.” Shen Changshan murmured.
Thinking of this, his face changed.
How innocent is Cui Niang?
If Cui Niang died, he would have no need to live.
Shen Changshan lowered his head in silence, only his hands holding the railing were shaking.
Shen Fu didn't want to ask any more questions.
"Don't worry, your mother Cui will not die." Shen Fu lowered her head and looked deeply at Shen Changshan's face.
She had a hunch that Aunt Cui was no simple person.
How could she die just because no one was looking after her?
"That's enough. I have already asked everything I wanted to ask." Chen Fu stood up.
She looked at Shen Changshan who had already passed out in a daze: "You are on your own."
Zi Su stepped forward in time, and hurriedly held Chen Fu's hand and walked out.
Just watching the figure about to disappear from his sight.
Shen Changshan behind him finally shouted at the back in front of him: "Really, can't you let me go?"
He is Shen Fu's father, and they are related by blood.
Even if he did something wrong, can't we let him off just because of this?
Shen Changshan's eyes were full of expectation as he looked at Shen Fu in front of him, but after trying for a long time he still couldn't utter a single word of request.
"It is not my intention to lock you up here."
Shen Fu retracted her gaze and turned to walk out of the prison: "He is your Shen Qingru's father, not mine."
When Shen Changshan heard those three words, his throat began to tremble uncontrollably.
Finally, after Chen Fu's back disappeared from his sight, his knees softened and he knelt on the ground.
"Qingru."
Shen Changshan murmured in his mouth.
The face of Shen Qingru, the daughter he had doted on since childhood, seemed to flash before his eyes.
How could Shen Changshan not love him?
Wenqing, Qingru, and even his courtesy name were used to name his daughter.
But even so, he still treated her unfairly.
Since she was born, she has been without her father.
It was not until she grew up that she was raised at home as an adopted daughter for the sake of face.
He had wronged Cui Niang too much, and he had also wronged Qingru too much.
"It's my fault, it's my fault..." Shen Changshan knelt on the ground, crying uncontrollably.
Hearing the sobbing behind her, Shen Fu's back did not stop and continued to move forward.
Only after she was released from the Heavenly Prison did Shen Fu feel relieved.
"My lady, this Shen Changshan is really too ignorant of evil."
Shisu spoke through gritted teeth.
Look at what Shen Changshan was saying just now.
He even wanted to rely on blood relationship to ask the queen to release the person.
"Wasn't he the one who spread rumors all over Kyoto?" Shisu said, and she could feel the back of her teeth clicking.
"I really want to ask you for help, Your Majesty."
"That's enough." Chen Fu helped Xiao Yanzi get on the sedan chair, saying unintentionally, "Some things are just for listening, don't take them to heart."
If it's just a random thing, I'll get angry. There are many things in this world that make people angry.
Why should we take everything to heart?
Chen Fu supported her head with one hand and smiled helplessly: "You just need to ignore him, then his words won't stir up any waves in your heart."
Zi Su heard this and nodded her head standing aside. She only glanced at Chen Fu's face and said helplessly: "This servant just feels that you are too wronged, Madam."
This Shen Changshan kept talking about Cui Niang.
It was as if there was no one else in his life except Cui Niang.
"I've known for a long time that this man is so cruel. I shouldn't have let my wife marry him!" Zi Su said in a harsh tone.
Shen Fu didn't show any expression when she heard this.
Everyone needs to look forward.
What happened can no longer be changed, so she won't think about it.
What Chen Furu needs to do is to look forward.
Her fingertips tapped lightly on the armrest, and Shen Fu couldn't help but recall the past in her mind.
What exactly was His Majesty thinking when he asked him to come and see Shen Changshan?
Is it because of her mother's affairs, or because of Aunt Cui?
Thinking of what Shen Changshan had just said, Shen Fu's eyes darkened.
Directly: "Go to the Qing Palace!"
**********
Outside Kyoto.
In the remote courtyard, the Shen Mansion was extremely lively and bustling.
Since Shen Changshan left, the only nanny who was guarding him also ran away.
The only people left in the whole house were the sick Old Lady Shen and Aunt Cui who was lying on the bed unable to take care of herself.
It was a snowy and windy day, so Old Mrs. Shen stayed under the eaves and boiled medicine.
She had been a servant all her life and had never done such work as a servant.
The thick smoke filled the entire room, causing Aunt Cui, who was lying on the bed, to cough continuously: "Cough cough cough."
Aunt Cui was lying on the bed, her face covered with tears.
Looking at the thick smoke in the house, he couldn't help but shout outside: "Can you make medicine?"
This has really stirred up a hornet's nest.
The futon in Old Lady Shen's hand flew out instantly: "You little bitch!"
She kicked the door open and hit the bed with her cane: "You are a concubine, and you still need me to serve you!"
Old Mrs. Shen is in her fifties and still in good health. Since marrying into the Shen family, she has never suffered a single day of hardship.
I didn't expect that half of his body would be buried in the ground. In the end, she still has to serve her son's concubine.
"I'm working so hard here to make medicine for you, but instead of thanking me, you come here to look down on me." Old Mrs. Shen said with a cane.
He hit Aunt Cui again and again: "I'll make you despise me, I'll make you despise me!"
Aunt Cui was beaten and screamed.
She was injured and could only lie on the bed. She could neither hide nor run away from Old Lady Shen's crutches.
I could only lean over the bed and stretched out my hand to stop him: "Come here, get out of here."
Aunt Cui gathered her strength, grabbed Old Lady Shen's cane and pushed her away: "If you hurt me, how will you blame Wenqing when he comes back?"
Aunt Cui raised her head, her face full of confidence.
However, when Old Mrs. Shen was pushed like this, she took several steps back.
