Chapter 329 Leave Your Life Here
When the birds chirped in the early morning, Qingcheng went to find Shen Wen and shook him awake.
Shen Wen rubbed his eyes and sat up, saying, "I had a dream last night, and I couldn't wake up no matter how hard I tried."
Qing Cheng asked, "What did Sister Shen dream about?"
Shen Wen thought for a moment and said, "I can't remember it now, but I seem to have seen you. You looked like a god saving lives."
Qingcheng was amused by his laughter and urged him to get up.
Qingque arrived during breakfast. The three of them were having breakfast when a servant reported to Qingcheng at the door, "Miss Qingcheng, the carriage to Duke Ji's mansion is ready. I asked the driver to wait at the door."
After Shen Wen watched the servant leave, he glanced at Qing Cheng and said, "Why are you so impatient? I promised you that I would go to Duke Ji's mansion, but you're still worried?"
Qingcheng seemed very happy and even put several pieces of vegetables into Shen Wen's bowl with his chopsticks.
Shen Wen, wearing Qingcheng's star-moon dress, got on the carriage under the gaze of Qingcheng and Qingque.
When he got into the car, Qingcheng suddenly grabbed Shen Wen's hand, looked at him and said, "Don't be afraid, you will be fine."
Shen Wen put his hand on Qing Cheng's and said, "How could I be scared? It's others who should be worried and scared. Don't worry, I'll be back soon."
Shen Wen's carriage left the gate of the villa.
Qingque helped Qingcheng back into the house and couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Qingcheng.
Qingcheng touched Qingque's hand and said, "Sister is a good person. If she had reached my level of cultivation, she wouldn't worry about me."
Qingque couldn't help but ask: "Why shouldn't I worry? Your Yuanzhu..."
Qing Cheng instead shook her hand and said, "Even if it was you, my sister, you would also sacrifice a Yuanzhu to save someone."
Qingque sighed again.
Shen Wen's carriage soon arrived at Duke Ji's mansion.
The maids and servants who were standing happily in front of the mansion gate to welcome the carriage changed their expressions when they saw that it was Shen Wen and not Qingcheng who came out of the carriage, especially Aunt Yinhua who had fought with Shen Wen yesterday.
Aunt Yinhua curled her lips and said, "I didn't expect you to have the courage to come."
Shen Wen looked at her straight, raised his eyebrows, jumped off the carriage nimbly, brushed off his star-moon skirt, and walked into the gate.
The maids behind Aunt Yinhua had different expressions. One of them couldn't help but stand up and pointed at Shen Wen and said, "You bastard, no matter how high your status is, you can't even compare to the greyhound I keep by my side. How dare you come to our house and make trouble? Aunt, I'll bring my greyhound over here and bite off his legs."
After saying that, the maid raised her foot and was about to leave.
Aunt Yinhua stopped her and said, "Come back, you are so impatient. Let him in. Didn't you see the star-moon dress he was wearing? Even if he is a beggar coming to our house, as long as he has the saint's star-moon dress in his hand, we should treat him with courtesy."
When the maid heard this, she pouted indignantly.
Shen Wen smiled and turned around to look at the maid and said, "See? This is the level of rank. But..."
As he said that, Shen Wen suddenly raised his leg and kicked the maid.
It was the first time that the maid was kicked by an outsider, and it was Shen Wen, whom she looked down upon. She was so angry that she pointed at Shen Wen with her eyes popping out.
"What do you mean by 'you'? To say that you look down on others is flattering you. I am now a third-rank guard and an official of the imperial court. I think you are out of your mind. Big sister! Be careful next time, or I'll have someone arrest you."
After being lectured by Shen Wen, the maid actually felt aggrieved. She turned around and pouted at Aunt Yinhua.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Yinhua smiled more docilely. She said, "So you are a third-rank guard. You should be treated with courtesy. In this case, Guard Shen, please forgive me. Please enter the mansion."
Shen Wen did not bother with the maid and walked into Duke Ji's mansion with a swagger.
Aunt Yinhua told the maids to follow carefully and serve. After watching the maids follow in, she was the last one to go in.
However, she did not go to Second Grandma Ji's yard. She turned around and went to First Grandma Ji's yard.
She waited at the door of the house. A maid went in to report and came back, then let Aunt Yinhua in.
Aunt Yinhua met Grandma Ji, and the two exchanged a few pleasantries. Aunt Yinhua said, "Today, there is a happy event in our Second Grandma's courtyard. Our Second Young Master is finally going to marry a wife."
Grandma Ji was also surprised when she heard this. She said, "Oh? Has your second son figured it out? At the beginning, the emperor summoned all the ladies from the capital to the palace and asked him to pick one he liked to marry as his principal wife, but he didn't like any of them. Instead, he wronged four ladies from the families and made them concubines. Although everything has been going wrong since they were married, I think it's because there is no principal wife to manage the backyard. Now, since there is a girl that your second son likes, just marry her into the palace. By the way, which lady is so lucky? What's her name?"
As Grandma Ji spoke, she picked up the cup and drank tea.
Aunt Yinhua said, "In reply to Grandma Ji, he is an acquaintance, and Grandma also knows him. His name is Shen Wen."
When Grandma Ji heard this, she stopped her hand from reaching her mouth and immediately jumped up from her chair. The teacup fell to the ground, but she ignored it and said in a harsh voice, "What? Another person named Shen Wen. How come there is another one with such a disgusting name!"
Aunt Yinhua said, "Grandma, there is another person called Shen Wen. It's the original Shen Wen, the Shen Wen who was sold from the eldest master's room. But now he has become rich and has become a third-rank guard."
Grandma Ji became even more angry, trembling and gritting her teeth.
Aunt Yinhua bowed and said, "I won't bother you any more. I'll go help the Second Madam first."
As soon as Aunt Yinhua left the house, she heard a sudden banging sound in the room behind.
Grandma Ji was furious. She pointed at the door with a shaking hand and cursed, "What a bold concubine! He is going to enter the house in a proper manner. When that happens, my entire Ji family will have to slap themselves in the face."
The maid who was supporting her said as she calmed her down, "Grandma, do you think Shen Wen is evil? People outside say that he is the bastard of the Shen family and has almost destroyed the Shen family. Now, except for the old Marquis Shen who escaped from prison, the rest are waiting to die in prison. What do you think...Shen Wen...is he seeking revenge?"
Grandma Ji said arrogantly: "He dares!"
After Aunt Yinhua left Grandma Ji's yard, she turned a corner and went to the old lady's small Buddhist temple.
Nowadays, Old Lady Ji recites scriptures in the Buddhist temple all day long. Her greatest wish to the Buddha is to see another boy born into the Ji family during her lifetime.
When Aunt Yinhua entered the room, she first paid her respects to the Buddha in the shrine.
Old Lady Ji chatted with her for a while and then asked her what brought her here at this time.
Aunt Yinhua smiled and said, "Congratulations, old lady. Our second young master has finally figured it out. He is going to marry a wife."
Old Lady Ji sat in the upper seat, looking at her with a half-smile, and said, "Are you still fooling me here? I heard a long time ago that your second son was locked up in a place like the woodshed by your master yesterday, which shows that your master is really angry this time. I heard you say this today, it seems that the second son's wife you mentioned is not a good one. Let me guess... Is she a prostitute from a brothel?"
Aunt Yinhua did not expect that the old lady was in the Buddhist temple and was so clear about what was going on in their house. Aunt Yinhua only changed her expression and then returned to normal. Aunt Yinhua told the story of Shen Wen seducing Chu Yanqiu, and especially emphasized that the second son of their family would marry Shen Wen as his legal wife.
After hearing this, Old Lady Ji's originally kind eyes immediately glared, and she slammed the table and said angrily: "How dare she!"
The old lady gradually recalled the lowly person who used to live in Ji Ziyin's courtyard. She nodded faintly and said, "It seems that some people are not worthy of being looked up to. After so many things, I realized that people like her, even if they have thoughts, will not have that kind of life. Since you are not afraid of death, then leave your life in this mansion."
Aunt Yinhua knew that the old lady was really angry. Since the old lady wanted to kill her, Shen Wen would definitely die today. After getting the answer she wanted, Aunt Yinhua retreated calmly.
Shen Wen, led by the maid, leisurely followed into the hall of Ji's mansion and soon arrived at the courtyard of Second Madam Ji. The maid served him tea and told him to sit and wait, saying that Second Madam would meet him soon. Shen Wen didn't care, so he picked up the teacup and drank tea by himself.
The maids and servants all disliked him and kept away from him, leaving the room empty.
At this time, Shen Wen seemed to hear an auditory hallucination. A female voice said to her, "Sister, don't panic if you see anything later. I'm by your side. You can do whatever you want."
It's green orange.
The ethereal voice was clearly Qingcheng's, and Shen Wen quickly identified it.
Just after Qingcheng finished speaking, something strange happened. Shen Wen saw that the surrounding environment was different in the blink of an eye. The light became dim, and the sky was overcast, like the haze before the heavy snow.
and.
In the hidden corners, there were always one or two pairs of sneaky eyes looking at him. Shen Wen suddenly looked into the corner, and before the person who was playing tricks could evade, he coldly stopped her.
When she looked closely, she saw that it was a maid in green clothes. She asked her coldly why she was peeping. She was not afraid and just said perfunctorily, "I just took a look out of curiosity."
The maidservant did not take him seriously, and her eyes were full of contempt and arrogance.
Shen Wen felt very strange today. His eyes were very different from before. He looked at the environment strangely and everyone strangely. How come this girl had two faint red horns on her forehead? They were like two electric wires, connecting her eyes. The two eyes flickered, switching between black and red. He didn't know what they meant.
The maid turned around and ran away without waiting for him to ask any more questions.
At this time, Second Madam Ji, accompanied by her maid, happened to be at the door of the room. Seeing him standing there looking around, she coughed coldly in displeasure.
Shen Wen came to his senses and had to put aside the matter of the maid and walked over to greet Second Madam Ji.
Madam Ji walked around him and sat in the main seat with a cold face. The maid immediately served her tea, and she took the tea and drank it slowly.
Shen Wen was not angry at her unreasonable neglect. He said, "Second Madam Ji must have known the reason for my coming. I know you look down on me. We didn't have much in common, but Qingcheng entrusted me with a task that I couldn't refuse. How about this? You still start the feast. I'll eat and drink as soon as possible and leave. What do you think?"
Madam Ji placed the cup in her hand on the table and said coldly, "No!"
