Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book
Chapter 42 Shen Mansion
The reason why a beautiful dream is a beautiful dream is that it forms a sharp contrast with the cruel reality.
It was the next day when I woke up, and I knew that the reason I suddenly fell ill the day before was because I was soaked in the hot water of Situ Jue's medicinal bath when I was serving him, and was fumigated by the high temperature in the room, and frequently went outside to be blown by the cold wind. In the words of Doctor Sun, it was the wind evil entering the body and the cold poison harming the body.
And Situ Jue might be taking care of me personally out of guilt, but what does it mean that he takes care of me in my bed?
Even though he and I only had two separate beds and lay on the same couch, he had no idea how shocked I was when I opened my eyes and saw a face I didn't want to see next to me.
For several days I didn't want to talk to him, but luckily he knew he was in the wrong and didn't bother me any more.
As for the Concubine Dowager, I don't know what kind of wrong information Situ Jue had someone pass on, which made the Concubine Dowager think that I was taking care of Situ Jue on purpose, and that I was so busy taking care of him that I forgot to eat and sleep and made myself sick. Instead, she forgave my rude behavior of saying in front of her that I would leave the palace, and she even had someone send some supplements to me.
In addition, I received news from my cousin Shen Ru that Father Shen, my adopted father, had made arrangements and would return to the capital in the twelfth lunar month. Not only that, he had already informed his family that his concubine would give birth to a boy for the Shen family, and that he would also make Concubine Qiu his legal wife while he was reporting to the capital.
My cousin Shen Ru is actually very enthusiastic. Although she is married, her husband's family does not control her. She often goes back to her parents' home. She will communicate with me in letters about any news she hears in the Shen Mansion.
After all, I am not the original owner. I have no feelings about things like my father returning to Beijing or my aunt taking over the throne. Instead, I really want to exercise this weak body.
I used to be a backpacker who carried a backpack weighing dozens of kilograms and challenged the 3,000-meter peak. Now I am knocked down by the alternating cold and hot wind. It is really unreasonable. Especially in a world of martial arts where masters can fly over eaves and walls, it is unreasonable for me not to learn some skills to keep myself safe.
It was almost the end of the year, and Shen's father returned to Beijing ahead of schedule. It was said that Aunt Qiu had a seizure on the way and the child had been born. He was afraid that the mother and child would be bumpy on the road, so the original land route was changed to water route, so they arrived earlier than scheduled.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, I can leave the palace openly and return to the Shen family.
When I returned to the Shen Mansion, I found that although the house was not as big as the prince's palace, it was much more lively than the prince's palace.
In addition to my grandfather's title, my uncle's position as an official, and my aunt's imperial decree, they all have to pay equal respect to me. I returned to the Shen family with the title of princess. Logically speaking, Shen's father is only a fifth-rank official, so he should pay respect to me, not to mention his concubine.
Aunt Zhao had originally told me that the eldest branch of the Shen family was mean to others. Based on my several interactions with my aunt and cousin, I didn't think they were difficult people to get along with. But I firmly believed what Aunt Zhao said about Aunt Qiu.
This concubine Qiu was originally a singing girl in the mansion of Shen's father. After a banquet, her boss got drunk and gave her to Shen. It was probably because Shen's father was lustful and kept staring at the young girl that the boss showed his affection.
At that time, Shen's father had just become a seventh-rank official thanks to his ancestors' influence, which was considered his first step into the officialdom. The original body was only one or two years old. In addition to the original body's mother, there were two concubines in the family. After all, the Shen family was a well-known figure in the capital, and the second son of the Shen family was a blue chip stock. Not long after Aunt Qiu entered the mansion, the other two concubines were also given away by Shen's father for various reasons, and the other was sent to Old Lady Shen, who was said to be filial to Shen's father, but in fact it was a disguised abandonment. Until later, when Shen's father was promoted and sent out, there was only one concubine left, Aunt Qiu.
My biological mother died of illness during the period when my father was exiled. At that time, Aunt Qiu, who was still in the Shen Mansion in the capital, was brought to the post by my father from afar. My original body was still young and didn't understand much. I only vaguely remember that Aunt Qiu always regarded herself as Mrs. Shen during my father's tenure, and left me to the care of the servants and didn't care about me. Later, she used a miscarriage to say that it was my original body that hindered her, and persuaded my father to send my original body back to the capital, so that my original body lived in the Shen Mansion for a few years like a dependent.
I inherited the memories of my original body, so I don’t have a good impression of Mr. Shen.
But when you come back, you still have to prepare the gifts. Of course, these are the ideas of Situ Jue and the Concubine Dowager. They want to use the money from Shen Xingye’s own private treasury. Sorry, there is not a penny.
In name, I was visiting family, and the title of Duke of the Shen family was still in the hands of my grandfather, and the first and second branches had not separated, so the list of gifts I brought back was handed directly to my aunt. I saw out of the corner of my eye that the couple on the other side had a flash of displeasure in their eyes, and I felt inexplicably happy.
Father Shen couldn't wait to show off his father's style. He clearly saw me talking to my aunt, but he had to interrupt and ask, "Why didn't the prince come? You came back by yourself today? He must know that I returned to Beijing to report on my work after my appointment. It's been almost a year since you got married. How is your relationship with the prince?"
This series of questions really spoiled my mood and I was too lazy to even open my mouth.
Aunt Qiu, who was standing next to him, looked old despite her heavy makeup, but she still dressed like a singing girl as she used to when she was young, and she followed the crowd with a twist of her waist. "Master, you are a little anxious because you see that your daughter likes you. Xingye is now the Princess of Zhenbei, and it's not easy for her to go back to her parents' home. You should ask these questions in private."
I have to say, compared with the sincerity of my aunt and my cousin, Aunt Qiu's ulterior motives are too obvious. She spoke without thinking in order to save Father Shen's face, and she even deliberately used the title of princess to point at me. What does that mean?
I was being very polite by not asking her to kneel down and greet me as soon as we met.
"I heard that my brother was born when my aunt had an attack on the road. I guess it must have been very hard for her. But my aunt looks good and she was out of confinement so quickly. She must be in good health. My brother must have inherited my aunt's good health. By the way, where is my brother? Why don't you bring him out so I can see him?"
Aunt Qiu's face froze slightly, and she looked at Father Shen for help.
Father Shen frowned, not disguising his attitude, and raised his voice, "A baby who has just reached full term is delicate and cannot stand the wind, but you are so arrogant. You are just coming home, do you want all of us, young and old, to come and kowtow to you?"
"Father, what you said is true. Even if you insist on paying respect, it is not a gift to me, but a gift to the Zhenbei Palace. I understand this principle. How could I rely on the power of others..." As I said this, I deliberately locked my eyes on Aunt Qiu. "I also heard that Aunt Qiu gave birth prematurely this time, and my brother was not born prematurely. However, children need to be raised roughly and not spoiled too much, so that they are not easy to get sick and their bodies will be stronger. These are what you taught me back then, do you remember?"
