The daily life of a concubine's daughter

The more Shi Yao thought about it, the more pathetic she felt.

Whenever the Duke's wife dealt with Shi Yunyi's wet nurse, and whenever the Taoist priest mentioned Shi Yunyi, she, a half-feudal and half-modern person, would believe the Taoist priest's lies.

Why?

Before coming, she had thought it through. She should not treat the people in the Duke's Mansion as relatives or family members, but just as relatives. When she came to be a guest at their relatives' home, the relatives would provide her with food and drink for one or two years and then marry her off.

She doesn't make a fuss or compete for favor.

She doesn't ask anyone to look up to her, but just wants them to live in peace.

I don't ask to marry into a wealthy family, but I just want to marry into a reliable family and live a stable life.

Anyway, once you close your eyes, this life will be over.

She was grateful to Shi's relatives for the rest of her life.

But relatives shouldn’t treat each other like this!

Today, Shi Mingzhu called her twice in her dream, and she moved to another courtyard. Tomorrow, Shi Mingzhu called her twice in her dream, and she moved to the farm. After a few more days, Shi Mingzhu called her a few more times in her dream, would she have to cut her hair and live in the family temple to end the rest of her life?

One step back, one step back.

Everyone in the mansion treated her as a weakling and would throw the blame on her whenever something went wrong.

Is there any way?

In this world where men are superior to women, she is a woman, and more importantly, a concubine's daughter who is not valued by the family. She cannot even escape and support herself. The Duke's Mansion will not allow her to do such a thing that will bring shame to the family.

Being in her current position, she can neither go up nor down, and has no other way out except getting married.

Fu Nanjun saw her staring blankly with her head half lowered and not speaking for a long time, and he couldn't help feeling annoyed.

This second sister really doesn't know the big picture.

Although moving out is not a good idea, it does not take sisterhood into consideration at all.

Fu Nanjun's smile faded a little: "Second sister, human life is at stake. Your elder sister is really seriously ill. We have no choice but to listen to the Taoist priest for the time being. This is the decision of the old lady, and the old man also nodded.

You don't know, our Duke's Mansion has only given birth to boys for eight generations, no girls. Your elder sister is the first girl in the Duke's Mansion, and also the only legitimate daughter. She is invaluable. When she was about to be born, the old man couldn't help but hold her in his arms and said, "Spoil her. Spoil her as much as you can, everyone in the family!"

Therefore, from the old grandfather and the old lady, to the master and the mistress of the third room, and even your eight brothers, they all treat your eldest sister like a treasure and pamper her like the apple of their eyes.

This time Mingzhu caught a cold, the old lady's eyes were swollen from crying, and the old man stood outside the curtain with a sullen face. My sister is filial, so please comfort the old lady and the old man."

This is a case of using courtesy before force. If courtesy fails, then use power and filial piety to pressure others.

If Shi Mingzhu really recovers in the future, it will probably prove the Taoist's words "the eight characters are in conflict", and the people in the Duke's Mansion will only avoid her even more, push her further and further away, and even dislike her as the person who is Shi Mingzhu's nemesis.

Shi Mingzhu is the reborn heroine who has turned evil and is bent on revenge. How can she have a good life in the future? She might even lose her life.

Shi Yao was heartbroken.

As the saying goes, when a rabbit is cornered, it bites; when a dog is cornered, it jumps over the wall.

Rather than living in a cowardly way, it is better for the whole family to go crazy together.

She leaned back against the soft pillow, her pale face almost transparent, and said with a weak breath: "Sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to move the yard. If the supernatural things get out, it will damage the reputation of the Duke's Mansion. I live in Jinling, and I heard that those wandering Taoists and monks often cheat and deceive people, and specialize in cheating fools' money.

How about waiting for two days? If the elder sister doesn't get better, I will move again. Then the outside world will treat us as my family. If the elder sister gets better, then it's just nonsense from the Taoist priest.

"Sister-in-law, think about it carefully. Sister-in-law has always been blessed by heaven. With the medicine and the care of her family, she will recover sooner or later. If I move out so hastily, and fall into the trap of the Taoist priest, who wants people to treat him as a guest of honor, who knows if someone will use him to commit witchcraft and put the blame on the Shi family?"

Fu Nanjun was startled and stared closely at Shi Yao's calm face.

She might as well say such words.

The art of witchcraft has always been expressly prohibited by the royal family. Once discovered, it would be a serious crime that would lead to the confiscation of property and extermination of the entire family!

After all, witchcraft was rampant, so anyone who disliked the emperor could make a figurine and curse the emperor to die early and be reincarnated.

Shi Yao used the word "loyalty" to suppress the word "filial piety".

Compared with loyalty and filial piety, loyalty comes first and filial piety comes second.

If this matter is not revealed, it would be just a trivial matter of asking a Taoist priest to calculate Feng Shui in desperation. Once it is revealed and not taken seriously, it would be a great crime of contempt for the imperial authority.

Fu Nanjun was undecided. Just then, the maid came in and said that the medicine was ready. She smiled and said, "We'll discuss this later. What my sister said makes sense. It shows that she is well-educated. Come, take the medicine first."

She stood up, and the maid sat in her seat and helped Shi Yao take medicine.

Shi Yao took the medicine, picked up two candied fruits to suppress the bitterness, rinsed her mouth, and then acted drowsy and forced her eyelids to stay open.

Fu Nanjun said goodbye with a look.

She walked all the way to the flower hall of the main house and bowed to her mother-in-law.

The Duke's wife rubbed her forehead, her face full of fatigue, and pointed at a maid and said, "Tell your grandmother the results of the interrogation."

Fu Nanjun listened carefully and showed anger on his face.

This new concubine sister is indeed not easy to control.

The spit alarmed the old master and the old lady, who panicked and launched a thorough investigation throughout the mansion, mobilizing a large number of troops, fearing that someone had poisoned Shi Mingzhu.

No wonder the mother-in-law looked gloomy as she was tormented by a little girl.

However, the Duke's wife did not think about Shi Yao's situation. She did not even have the power to deal with her personal maid. She only resented Shi Yao for causing trouble for her at such a critical moment.

Fu Nanjun didn't think about it. She left Shi Yao to two maids who might take revenge on her.

She is just a concubine's daughter. It is something that can be dealt with by just forbearance. But he has to cause trouble for them when their beloved daughter is seriously ill. He is really inconsiderate and unreasonable.

The Duke's wife was too weak to lose her temper, so she waved her hands and ordered the steward to drag Songlan down and give her ten strokes of the board, and Shannai five strokes of the board. After the matter was over, she raised her head and asked, "Have you explained the matter of moving the yard to your second sister?"

Songlan and Shannai were both brought up in pampered homes, so how could they endure ten or five beatings? When they tried to protest, their mouths were blocked and the old women dragged them away like wolves and tigers to avoid defiling their masters' eyes.

Fu Nanjun lowered his eyes in shame, stepped forward, and whispered Shi Yao's "threat".

The Duke's wife sneered, "What a cunning girl! She grew up in the countryside, not only is she petty and cunning, but she's also cruel. Mingzhu didn't wrongly accuse her, and I feel relieved.

Forget it, she doesn't care about sisterhood, so we don't need to curry favor with her. Let her have a good night, and tomorrow we have to ask her to move out no matter what. If that doesn't work, we can take her out while she's unconscious. When she wakes up, the yard will be changed, and it won't be easy to change back. If we make a scene and get in front of the old lady, we won't be the ones to lose face."

At this moment, she was worried about her daughter's illness. Even if the king of heaven came, he would have to give way to her daughter.

Fu Nanjun's eyelids twitched.

Shi Yaoren woke up, which meant her condition had improved. If she was to remain unconscious, something had to be done.

Either he tampered with the medicine, or his condition worsened.

Whatever, whatever, at least let Mingzhu recover first.

The mother-in-law was tolerant and kind-hearted in other matters, but she would not tolerate even a grain of sand in her eyes when it came to Mingzhu.

The second sister had hit a wall. She could only blame her bad luck. She could have returned home at any other time, but had to choose the day when Shi Mingzhu fell into the water.

Knowing that she is feeling wronged, I will just give her two more pieces of jewelry as compensation.

For a girl who grew up in the countryside and has never seen any expensive things, this will surely make her smile and eliminate her grudges.

——Even if she holds a grudge, so what? An unfavored concubine's daughter can still cause chaos.
