Chapter 78

078 admit it or not

Shen Xinzhi was oppressed. He couldn't say that Shen Qinglian deserved it in front of his mother.

He married the lost star sister to the Zhou family. Now he wants to come, but he is really sorry for the young master of the Zhou family.

Zhou Lingyun snuggled up in the arms of the old lady and comforted her cleverly: "grandma, how can it be the uncle's fault? How can a brother know what's going on in his sister's and brother-in-law's room?"

The old lady said a little. Zhou Lingyun was right. That childe Zhou was also a good man, otherwise she wouldn't marry her daughter Shen Qinglian. After that, it was also very expected. Alas, it was only Qinglian's life that was to blame.

Shen Xinzhi looked at Zhou Lingyun with a look of approval. This niece is different from his naughty sister, but she is quite reasonable and sensible.

"Just think my old woman wronged you." the old lady snorted to Shen Xinzhi. Shen Xinzhi didn't dare to accept his mother's apology. He hurriedly said that he might as well do something. The old lady was slightly satisfied with her eldest son's attitude: "although it's not your fault, Qinglian was treated so badly by the Zhou family. You brother should decide for her."

Shen Xinzhi felt his temples ache again.

The old lady earnestly asked Shen Xinzhi to find a way to teach young master Zhou a lesson, so as to give Shen Qinglian a bad breath. Zhou Lingyun is approaching the age of hairpin. He wants Shen Xinzhi to make up for his mistakes and find a good marriage for Zhou Lingyun. He must not be worse than Shen Qingru and Shen Muyun sisters. Shen Xinzhi wants to shake his mother's head and question her:

What is Zhou Lingyun's identity? The daughter of a small squire should be on a par with the eldest lady of the prime minister's house and the head of the dignified Anning county? The old lady's heart is leaning to her ribs.

But even though Shen Xinzhi was dissatisfied, he could only keep it in his heart. He reluctantly dealt with the old lady and left in a hurry.

Find Zhou Lingyun an unparalleled mother-in-law. If the old lady has the ability, she'd better find it by herself. He Shen Xinzhi doesn't have the ability to find Zhou Lingyun a good husband no less than Shen Qingru.

Shen Qinglian continued to surround the old lady and say something about her family, but she didn't notice Zhou Lingyun's gradually indifferent expression.

evening.

Shen Qinglian curiously touched the glass screen of her residence and couldn't help but say to her daughter, "your grandmother's family is still rich and noble. Look at this thing. People's eyes are dazzled."

Zhou Lingyun looked coldly at the silly mother: "even if you are rich, you are also the wealth of your uncle's family. My grandmother is just a person with a different surname. My mother should not put the cart before the horse."

Shen Qinglian glanced at the corners of her mouth and disdained to say, "if your grandmother protects us, Lingyun can rest assured to live here. Your uncle doesn't dare to disobey your grandmother. He will listen to your grandmother and find you a good husband."

Shen Qinglian has been arrogant and domineering since she was a child, relying on her mother's love. She has bullied Shen Xinzhi's brother. After getting married, Shen Xinzhi often went to the prime minister's house to catch the autumn wind, searched his brother's gold and silver treasures and brought them back to his home. Shen Xinzhi was very bored. The relationship between brother and sister was not harmonious.

Zhou Lingyun sneered. On the surface, she was spoiled and grew up by Shen Qinglian's mother. Her mother and daughter depended on each other and had a good relationship. In fact, she hated this stupid mother in her heart. If she hadn't been dragged down by her, how could she fall to the point of being a door-to-door beggar in her grandparents' house?

Mingming's father and grandmother are very fond of her. The Zhou family can be regarded as a rich family. They married the dead Shen Qinglian and fell into the situation of selling houses and land. Shen Qinglian said pitifully, as if she had really been abandoned by the Zhou family. Zhou Lingyun knew the actual situation clearly. His mother just spent all the money of the Zhou family and kicked him away because she disliked his father's loss of use value.

It's obvious that the handsome actor secretly raised by her mother ran away her money, but her mother said everywhere that she spent the money on herself. It's shameless.

Zhou Lingyun despised Shen Qinglian, but he couldn't separate himself from his mother's fate. Although his father loved her too, he was no longer rich or powerful and was suffering in a small dilapidated house. As a weak woman, the only thing she can rely on is her mother's family, the Shen family. In this way, she would like to thank her mother for not leaving her to go to Beijing alone.

"Mother, your marriage is also decided by your grandmother. What's the result?" Zhou Lingyun said carefully: "no matter what, it's always your uncle who is in charge of the family. Although my grandmother loves my mother and me, my grandmother is a deep house woman after all, and many things are beyond her touch."

After all, my grandmother is just a lady in a big house, and she is old. She can't do many things. Mother has offended her sister-in-law Qin and her brother Shen Xinzhi. She only relies on her grandmother as a backer and wants to find her a husband no less than her cousin. It's really a daydream.

If you want to marry the right man, you must rely on your own planning. Everyone else can't count on it. Zhou Lingyun looked at Shen Qinglian and thought faintly.

At night.

Shen Muyun stood quietly under a big banyan tree and looked out through the high wall. There is no moon tonight. Under the dark sky, there are only a few remnant stars, emitting a dim light.

How bleak, just like her state of mind at the moment.

Someone opened the small door and came in. It was an old woman beside her grandmother. The old lady put a food box on the table and called stiffly, "second lady, it's time to eat."

Shen Muyun sat cross legged under the tree, ignoring the old mother's cry. The mammy sneered, "if you like to eat or not, you should treat yourself as a daughter. The old lady said it well. It's really a masterpiece."

The next thing is the old lady's evaluation of this once favorite granddaughter.

Shen Muyun didn't even have the strength to sneer. She quietly looked up at the sky, neither happy nor sad.

She was not hungry, but the food she sent was getting worse and worse day by day. It was obviously the leftover soup and water from the kitchen. It smelled bad and cold to the bone, so it was difficult to swallow.

Shen Muyun is gambling that the old lady and her father still have a trace of pity for her and that her mother Qin can save her out, so she doesn't want to touch the food no matter how hungry she is.

She hadn't eaten for two days. At this time, she was so weak that she was afraid that a small wind could blow her away.

The old woman in charge of the care may be afraid of her accident. She said coldly and comfortingly, "second miss, I advise you to die and get ready to marry into the Zheng family."

"I know you're unhappy, but who told you to lose your innocence... A woman can't lift her head and be a man forever without her virginity... Xiangye won't forgive you. The old lady is enjoying Miss Zhou of my aunt's house now and doesn't have time to pay attention to you. As for her wife, she and the young master, she always has to consider her son's future."

Shen Muyun still hugs her knees and doesn't speak, but her body can't stop shaking.

"So you'd better stay here and don't have any other ideas..." the old lady gave a warning look at Shen Muyun and carefully locked the gate of the temple.

She had to admit that the old man was right. Her father and grandmother have completely rejected her. With Zhou Lingyun as a substitute, I'm afraid no one will think of her. Mother gave her up for her brother

Shen Muyun clenched her fist and buried her face in her knees, crying silently. She is unwilling. She is clearly the most outstanding daughter of the Shen family. She was held by her elders when she was a child. Why did she fall to this point?

This unwillingness is mixed with deep resentment. Only today did she realize how much selfishness her grandmother, father and mother had mixed in their "love" for her. Once she lost her use value, these people would abandon her as my shoes and even stop thinking of her.

Shen Muyun cried enough, stumbled to his feet and walked hard towards the food box on the table. The food in the box was really cold. The black scrubbed vegetables, a little shredded meat and completely cold yellow rice. She scooped a spoonful with a spoon and put it into her mouth. Tears could not be restrained.

Because she hadn't eaten for a long time, her intestines and stomach were very uncomfortable. After two bites, she couldn't help vomiting. But after vomiting, Shen Muyun mechanically insisted on sending the leftovers to her mouth. In this way, she swallowed the leftovers in the food box with tears.

The only thing she can rely on now is herself. In any case, she can no longer abuse her body.

The old nurse of the guard was surprised to herself. In recent days, the second lady's temper has improved a lot, and there is no leftovers left. People are not as gloomy and crying as they were a few days ago. On the contrary, they often walk around the yard and bask in the sun.

It seems that the second young lady has accepted her fate and is ready to marry into the Zheng family.

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief. Shen Muyun knows the best and doesn't know the best. They servants can try their best to torture her.

Old man Zhang, who delivered water, was ill and sent his son Zhang Chunfeng to deliver water to the Shen family's temple. Zhang Chunfeng is a young man in his early twenties. On weekdays, he follows old man Zhang to deliver water to the city and has a lot of experience. But in such a strange place, Zhang Chunfeng came for the first time.

Zhang Chunfeng pushed the water truck to the door. The gatekeeper was a fat Mammy. She opened the door expressionless and said, "come with me."

It is surrounded by high walls, as if it were forbidden, which makes people feel very depressed. Zhang Chunfeng couldn't help but wonder, who is closed here?

However, old man Zhang told him that there were many rules for high-ranking families. He told him to just follow the guide with his head down and don't look around, so as not to disturb the noble people.

Who lives in this damn place? Zhang Chunfeng thought curiously with his head down.

A shiny thing rolled down at his feet. Zhang Chunfeng's footsteps stagnated, and the conditioned reflex quickly picked it up.

It's a golden earring inlaid with jewels. It's valuable at first sight.

He looked up in confusion and looked around, but he saw half a girl's face behind a small door on his side.

When Zhang Chunfeng saw the girl, his heart seemed to be hit hard by a drumstick, and he couldn't help shaking all over. The girl's half face was so beautiful and moving, her face was as white as milk, and her lips were as red as the reddest Begonia fruit on the mountain. Her eyes are beautiful and captivating, as if there was a hook there, which hooked Zhang Chunfeng's soul out of his body.

The girl smiled at her and opened her lips. She seemed to be saying something to him. Zhang Chunfeng felt that all the scenery around her seemed to have stagnated. The world only gave birth to the girl's two thin, one closed red lips.

She said, come to me.
