Chapter 235: 235 disposal (second update)
Chapter 235 235 Disposal (second update)
Chu Qianhuang's whole body felt cold, and he stood there in a daze for a while before he came back to his senses at the sound of Baoqin's call.
She quickly got into her carriage again and asked the coachman to return to the Marquis' Mansion quickly.
Mrs. Shen has not returned to the Hou Mansion for two months. Her return was like a huge stone falling into the lake, causing waves in the entire Hou Mansion.
The servants of the Hou Mansion ran to each room to report, and the concierge also went to Rongfu Hall to report: "Madam, the eldest lady is back! The eldest lady is back!"
Mrs. Tai's face was filled with joy and she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She felt that Mrs. Shen was not too imprudent and knew that she would return to the Marquis Mansion.
That's great!
The Madam's eyes were filled with excitement, she straightened her back and said, "Tell the Madam..."
She originally wanted to air out Shen's words and put on airs, but she changed her mind mid-sentence.
The Hou Mansion is now pointing at Duke Mu's Mansion...
Mrs. Tai changed her words and ordered Grandma Wang to personally invite Mrs. Shen. She also ordered the eldest maid: "Go and get my two rolls of cloud brocade... By the way, also take the set of lotus seeds and rice-sized pearl heads and faces." Come."
The eldest maid knew that Mrs. Shen was trying to make Mrs. Shen happy, so she only agreed.
After a while, Grandma Wang led Mrs. Shen in, looking a little strange.
"Ah Zhi." Madam Tai smiled attentively and gently, planning to coax Mrs. Shen.
But before the next words were spoken, two women were seen walking in behind Shen, escorting a woman in green clothes who looked embarrassed.
The two women pushed her roughly, and Aunt Jiang screamed, staggered and fell down, kneeling on the cold hard ground.
Her hair is a little looser, and even the bamboo hairpin inserted in her temples is crooked. Her face is sallow, and her eyes are dark green. At first glance, she looks like an ordinary village woman, but she is completely different from before. .
The madam was stunned for a moment, and then she slowly recognized that the woman kneeling on the ground was Aunt Jiang. Her heart skipped a beat, and she had a bad premonition.
Immediately afterwards, the door curtain opened again, and Chu Qianhuang quickly stepped into the second room. His eyebrows were furrowed and his expression was anxious. He hesitated and called out: "Grandma."
"..." Madam Tai held the string of beads in her hand tightly, her eyes dark.
She was originally worried that Aunt Jiang's return would make Mr. Shen unhappy, but she didn't expect that Aunt Jiang would be bumped into by Mr. Shen.
Mrs. Tai's brows were furrowed into the character "Chuan". She looked at Chu Qianhuang with a hint of confusion in her eyes, feeling that she was not doing things carefully.
"Minshan, you shouldn't be in Huanyifang, why are you back?!" The wife tried to preemptively scold Aunt Jiang first.
She only pretended not to know about Aunt Jiang sneaking out, with a stern look on her face.
She wanted to settle the matter quickly, so she immediately ordered Grandma Wang: "Why don't you send Aunt Jiang back to Huanyifang quickly! Please tell Huanyifang to keep a close eye on her."
Of course, Mrs. Tai's words were specifically spoken to Mrs. Shen in order to appease Mrs. Shen's emotions.
Grandma Wang responded quickly and walked towards Aunt Jiang, but was blocked by a woman brought by Mrs. Shen.
"Not busy." Shen said with a smile, her expression indifferent.
There was silence in the room, and the atmosphere was a little subtle.
Everyone looked at Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Shen with different expressions. They were either nervous, worried, embarrassed, or silent.
Only Shen was so calm and elegant.
Mrs. Shen gracefully blessed the Dowager, "Mother."
After saying her greetings, she sat down on an armchair at the bottom.
Seeing Mrs. Shen's expression calm, Mrs. Shen thought that Mrs. Shen had calmed down and said with a smile: "Azhi, can you come back..."
"Mother," Mrs. Shen interrupted the wife without politeness at all, "Chu Lingxiao has been sentenced to eight hundred miles of exile this time. What are your plans?"
Mrs. Tai's heart was up and down several times. After hearing what Shen said, she felt relieved again. She guessed that Shen was soft-hearted.
Mrs. Tai sighed deliberately and said worriedly: "Hey, Ling Xiao was first sent to the heavenly prison this time, and now he is an exile again. He really suffered a lot this time."
"It makes me sad just thinking about it."
As the madam spoke, her eyes turned red, and she wiped the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief.
Mrs. Shen stroked her sleeves and said leisurely: "Then let Jiang Minshan accompany him."
As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly fell into dead silence.
“…”
“…”
“…”
The maids all lowered their heads and stared at the tips of their shoes, pretending they didn't exist.
"..." Aunt Jiang's eyes widened in disbelief, and her slender body trembled violently.
Those places of exile were all remote places, either sparsely populated or on war-torn borders. They were not only desolate, but also dangerous.
After the prisoners arrived at the penal colony, they had to do hard labor, which was much harder than washing clothes in Huanyifang.
In Huanyifang, it was possible for her to sneak out, but if she arrived at the exile, she would be unable to fly even if she had wings.
By then Chu Yunyi and Chu Qianhuang would both be in the capital, thousands of miles apart from her. Even if she encountered something and wanted to ask for help, there would be no way for her to seek help. If Shen had bribed the officials in the penal colony, would she still be able to return to the capital alive? !
To put it harshly, even if she died in the exile, it would be a quiet thing.
The more Aunt Jiang thought about it, the more frightened she became. She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar and her limbs were cold.
Her body trembled even more violently, like a broken flower shaking in the wind and rain.
Shen Shiyun glanced at Aunt Jiang lightly and said sarcastically: "You two can be companions together."
"..." Chu Qianhuang clutched the handkerchief tightly, her nails almost digging into her palm.
Shen's decision to banish Aunt Jiang was a bit too much.
The bottom of Chu Qianhuang's eyes seemed like a bottomless abyss, becoming increasingly deep and complex, with various emotions surging turbulently.
After a moment, her eyes calmed down and she said softly: "Mother, I will never make any decisions to see Aunt Jiang again."
Chu Qianhuang thought about it carefully. Aunt Jiang just sneaked out to see Chu Yunyi, which should not make Shen so angry, so she should be the one who angered Shen.
After all, she is Shen's daughter who was raised by herself. Even now, in Shen's heart, she is far less important than Chu Qianchen, perhaps just like a cat raised by Shen.
But even if it is a cat, the owner will not like his cat to get close to others.
"No, it's all my fault!" Aunt Jiang took a few steps toward Mrs. Shen's knees, with a sad look on her face, "Madam, don't blame the eldest lady. I sneaked out from Huanyifang myself. The eldest lady didn't know it beforehand. Affection."
Chu Qianhuang pursed her lips tightly and looked at Aunt Jiang with a hint of emotion in her eyes.
Mrs. Shen was stunned and looked back and forth between Aunt Jiang and Chu Qianhuang, with an inexplicable meaning in their expressions.
She still ignored Chu Qianhuang and asked Madam Tai directly: "What do you think, mother?"
Mrs. Shen smiled slightly, her tone was neither gentle nor serious, neither fast nor slow, with a calm and calm tone, as if she was just asking casually.
Aunt Jiang's body trembled violently again, and her face was so pale that there was almost no blood at all.
Madam: “…”
The dowager's face didn't look very good either.
She was convinced that Mrs. Shen was still angry with Chu Lingxiao and hated Aunt Jiang even more.
If Aunt Jiang is not allowed to suffer some hardships, I am afraid it will be difficult to eliminate Shen's hatred.
For the dowager, the decision was not difficult either.
The Chu family now needs the help of Duke Mu's government. Moreover, Chu Lingxiao is lame on one foot. During his exile and after he arrives at the place of exile, he really needs someone to take care of his daily life, so Aunt Jiang can go with him. good.
"Okay, Ah Zhi, I promise you." Mrs. Tai agreed readily.
From the beginning to the end, she never looked at Aunt Jiang, nor did she care what Aunt Jiang thought.
To put it bluntly, Aunt Jiang is nothing more than a convenient and disposable thing to Mrs. Tai.
"..." Aunt Jiang's eyes were almost astonished to the extreme at that moment, with strong hatred bursting out of her eyes.
The hatred disappeared in a flash, and she quickly lowered her eyes and returned to calm.
Aunt Jiang almost broke her teeth and swallowed all the words.
She did not argue or beg for mercy, but looked at Chu Qianhuang with tears in her eyes.
She looked pitiful, so delicate, so delicate, as if she was at Shen's disposal.
"..." Chu Qianhuang's eyes changed several times, obviously and secretly, feeling that Shen's punishment was a bit too harsh.
Aunt Jiang did something wrong, but she also paid the price for her mistake.
One code after another, this time, Aunt Jiang had no intention of sneaking away, she just came out to see Chu Yunyi. Mrs. Shen also saw it with her own eyes, and Aunt Jiang returned to Huanyifang by herself.
Why should Shen be so aggressive!
Yes, in this day and age, that's it.
Mrs. Shen felt that she was a wife and Aunt Jiang was a concubine. The concubine was just a toy and she could do with her as she wanted.
Isn’t it the same for yourself? !
Even though she is her adopted daughter who was raised by her own hands, once she loses the bond of blood, she becomes a "toy"!
There was a wave of anger surging and screaming in Chu Qianhuang's heart, and the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time seemed to be about to burst out.
She opened her lips slightly, wanting to say something, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw Aunt Jiang forbearingly shaking her head at her, signaling her not to plead for her.
Chu Qianhuang finally closed his mouth and eyes.
She once again deeply realized what power was.
In this Marquis Mansion, it is not her decision but Mrs. Shen's decision.
In the final analysis, it was just because she was too weak.
Mrs. Shen watched with cold eyes, taking in the quarrel between them.
She actually didn't care whether they agreed or not.
Oh, hadn't Chu Lingxiao always felt that he and Jiang Minshan had a deep love for each other, and he didn't hesitate to swap her daughter with Jiang Minshan's daughter? Then she would fulfill their love and let them stay together forever.
She wanted to see if the two lovers were as deeply in love when they were prosperous and wealthy, and whether they could still be together when they were poor and destitute and had nothing!
