Shen Du was still wearing the same brocade robe as before, but the tea spilled on him by Shen Wan had long since dried up, and there were still one or two tea leaves not cleaned up at the collar. Shen Wan was about to remind Shen Du when a familiar sound of footsteps came from behind him.
Shen Wan turned around and saw the second wife and Shen Ying, mother and daughter, walking over quickly, their faces paler than the other.
Shen Wan thought they were all in Shen Li's yard, but it looked like they had just rushed back after hearing the news about Shen Li's accident.
The second wife's eyes were red and swollen, with tears welling up in her eyes. She was walking in a hurry. Everyone thought she was in a hurry to see her son for the last time. But the second wife came over, grabbed Shen Du's collar, and wanted to talk to Shen Du like crazy. Du desperately shouted hysterically, "Just because of your ancestral jade pendant, my Li'er is gone! Give me my son's life!"
The second wife grabbed Shen Du's collar tightly and wanted to kill him.
Shen Du didn't fight back, but Shen Wan couldn't stand it and grabbed the second wife's hand, "Let go of my brother!"
The second wife was so angry and had a headache that she pushed Shen Wan away. Shen Wan staggered two steps, but was stabilized by Xie Jingyan. Xie Jingyan said solemnly, "I am the one who prevents him from racing."
While Xie Jingyan was talking, Shen Du had already brushed away the second wife's hand holding his collar.
The second wife looked at Xie Jingyan and Shen Wan with cold eyes. She didn't know that it was Xie Jingyan who rushed to the racecourse and took Shen Du away. Only then did her son Shen Li replace Shen Du on the field, and she was brutally beaten by the white-haired man and the black-haired man. pain.
The hatred in the second wife's eyes could almost sweep away everything, "You know someone tampered with his horse, right?! You just took him away but didn't tell my son, and that's why today's accident happened!"
It's really ridiculous. They plotted against her eldest brother and didn't even tell her son, telling him not to ride her eldest brother's horse, but they expected them to tell her son. Don't you think it's funny?
Shen Wan said, "Who told the second aunt that my eldest brother's horse was tampered with? The eldest brother's horse has a fierce temper and has never been allowed to be touched by the second brother and the third brother. What's more, during the horse racing, the second brother took advantage of the eldest brother's absence to ride on the eldest brother. There was an accident on horse racing, but the death of my second brother was blamed on us..."
Before Shen Wan finished speaking, Shen Ying said angrily, "Second brother is gone, are you still going to stab my mother in the heart?!"
Is this because she is afraid of getting stabbed, or because her mother has given up on herself?
Shen Wan's face was cold. The second wife was so sad and angry that she was already on the verge of collapse. Shen Ying and the maid helped her into the yard.
Shen Wan watched their mother and daughter enter the yard, and then asked Shen Du, "They just came back?"
The second wife and Shen Ying went to the palace to see the empress. They were still arguing with Empress Song about not giving Fu Shuping the position of his wife. It was not easy to send the news to the palace. When they received the news about Shen Li's accident and rushed back to the palace, it was too late to see Shen Li for the last time. One side.
Shen Du sent Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan to see the old lady.
Inside the room, the old lady was leaning on the big pillow. Her whole figure seemed to be more than ten years older.
Among the young masters and girls of the Pingyang Hou Mansion, the old lady loved Shen Li the most. Although externally, the eldest son and grandson of the Pingyang Hou Mansion was Shen Du, in the old lady's heart, Shen Li was the most beloved.
Shen Rong unexpectedly lost her virginity to Young Master Wu, which was enough for the old lady to feel distressed. When something happened to Shen Li, the blow to the old lady was more than ten times that of Shen Rong. The old lady's energy seemed to be drained all at once.
The old lady deliberately plotted to seize the title of Pingyang Marquis and the military power in Shen Jing's hands, not only for her sons and grandchildren. The second master had only one son, Shen Li. Once Shen Li died, the second master had no descendants.
Even if you don’t have a son, how can you still fight for titles and military power? If you fight for it, who will inherit it?
The old lady was distraught.
She had the same idea as the second wife. She also believed that Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan knew that Shen Du's horse had been tampered with, so they stopped Shen Du from racing, knocked him out and took him away.
Shen Wan said, "Second aunt is too sad. She thinks that we can forget it. Why does my grandmother think so too? I dreamed about my mother before, and my mother asked me to stop my eldest brother from racing again. I told my eldest brother, and he also promised me not to Let's go horse racing with others. The second and third brothers took the eldest brother to the horse racing these days. I should have heard the eldest brother say that today the eldest brother broke his promise to me. I was so angry that I asked my husband to go to the racecourse to bring the eldest brother back, but I I didn’t expect the second brother to ride the eldest brother’s horse…”
When Shen Wan asked Shen Du to promise not to race horses with others, she said it at the gate. There was a servant who heard it and could bear witness to her.
Shen Li's accident is sympathetic, but it cannot be pinned on Shen Du and Shen Wan.
No one wants Shen Li to ride Shen Du's horse. As for the family heirloom jade pendant, Shen Du doesn't want to use it as a bet. Moreover, even if he really loses, he can get it back through other methods. The family heirloom of Pingyang Marquis Mansion The jade pendant was valued by the people of Pingyang Marquis Mansion, but in the eyes of others, it was just an ordinary jade pendant. If it could sell Shen Du a favor, why not do it.
The old lady's eyes were sad, and her hands were clenched tightly under the quilt. She tried her best to endure it, and finally closed her eyes, "You guys can get out."
Shen Wan had wanted to leave a long time ago, no, she didn't want to come at all.
She came back just to rub salt into their wounds. Don't think that she didn't know why they moved their plan forward. This time the plan was so hasty that even Shen Li didn't tell it. It was completely forced by the Zhongguo Palace and Empress Song. Fu Shu The incident had been going on for several days, and they had to give up their names. In order to prevent the King of Jin from granting Fu Shuping the title of his wife, they wanted to use her eldest brother's life as a vote for the Empress of Song and the King of Jin.
She and her eldest brother are the only two children left by her father. If the eldest brother dies, there will be no one to inherit the title. A hundred years after my father's death, the Pingyang Marquis Mansion will naturally be inherited by the second wife. In addition, the second master is also a military general. My father will not let the military power fall into the hands of others. I will definitely give it to the second master.
Although Duke Zhongguo is not weak in power in the court, military power is higher than imperial power. The current emperor is a wise king. As long as he is alive, even if his father is gone, he will continue to treat Pingyang Houfu favorably.
For Shen Ying and power, they got involved in Shen Rong's life and indirectly killed Shen Li. But Shen Wan knew that the more they lost, the more ruthless their revenge would be. It was impossible to expect them to reflect and repent.
After leaving Qinghui Courtyard, Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan went to the front yard to meet Shen Jing.
Seeing Shen Wan, Shen Jing sighed, "Dad couldn't bear your second brother's accident, but your eldest brother's ability to escape this disaster depends entirely on you and Prince Ling."
Shen Jing didn't dare to think about what would have happened if Xie Jingyan hadn't arrived in time, knocked Shen Du unconscious and taken him away, and it was Shen Du who was in trouble. Even now, he still has lingering fears and a cold feeling on his back.
Shen Wan said to Shen Du, "Elder brother must listen to whatever I don't want him to do from now on."
How dare you not listen? My sister is still very scary when she is angry.
Shen Du nodded repeatedly, "Brother, you must listen."
Shen Jing said, "After all, you have only been married not long ago, so it is better to avoid some taboos. Don't come back these days. In a few days, daddy will accompany you to pay homage to your mother's grave."
Shen Wan nodded hurriedly.
