He began to blame himself again.
Shen Nanbao interrupted him quickly, "Third brother, this is not my eldest sister's business. She is still lying on the bed, so how can she have the time to ask me for advice..."
"What's that for?"
Shen Wenzhuo looked at her in astonishment. He had just heard from Qing Zhi that she had been punished. At that time, he was in such a state of chaos that he came over without even having time to ask the cause and effect. Now that he heard her talk about it, he realized how reckless he was.
In fact, it wasn't just this time. The last time he heard that her second sister was involved in her grandmother's dressing incident, he was very frightened. He was afraid that she would be misunderstood and punished. Later, he found out that she was fine, and then his heart dropped.
But ask yourself, has he ever done this to his eldest sister and his second sister?
He thought deeply, and his dark pupils began to shine, making people feel confused when looking at him.
However, Shen Nanbao didn't care about what he was thinking, and changed the subject: "It's not a serious injury. Third brother, please feel free to go back after seeing it."
"How could this not be a serious injury?"
Shen Wenzhuo frowned, and his face lost color, "It's wrapped in such a thick layer, not to mention that Mother Hu is used to giving lectures, and her attacks are much heavier than others."
Shen Nanbao smiled when he heard this, "Third brother, you also said that Mother Hu is used to giving lectures, so she doesn't know how to behave. Besides, my grandmother is just using this incident to set an example. After all, I am her granddaughter. Grandma can’t bear it, doesn’t Mother Hu understand?”
Feng Yue felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this. She took a step forward and wanted to speak, but was stopped by Shen Nanbao.
Shen Wenzhuo didn't see the subtle movements, but was confused by Shen Nanbao's words. He nodded slowly, then suddenly came over and asked: "Fourth sister, you haven't told me yet, what on earth did grandma punish you for?" of you."
He asked again, Shen Nanbao was okay, he could tell clearly who he was, and Shen Nanwan was Shen Nanwan, but Fengyue refused, ignoring Shen Nanbao's obstruction, and sneered from the side, "Third Young Master came to ask What are our sisters doing? Why not ask your second sister, she was right next to you and could see clearly! Who knows the ins and outs!"
"Fengyue! What are you talking about?"
Shen Nanbao stopped her from drinking, and his stern face did not frighten Feng Yue, but made her feel like she had fallen into a brine vat, sour and bubbling, "Didn't the Third Young Master ask, that little one will let the Third Young Master know it clearly." Bai Bai, we can’t let Third Young Master run away like this in vain!”
Feng Yue spoke suddenly, and Shen Wenzhuo did not recover. He sat there blankly, with confusion on his face, "Feng Yue, what do you mean by this? Where is the second sister? Did she say something?"
It's okay if he doesn't ask, but once he asks, it's like the weak veil has been lifted off, revealing his true face.
"The second girl said it very well. As long as she beats our sister behind closed doors and blocks the mouths of the servants, she won't be afraid of those rumors at all."
Hearing her gnashing of teeth, Shen Wenzhuo was so horrified that his face lost all color, "Is this what the second sister said?"
While he was dumbfounded, Shen Nanbao stood up angrily, "Is it because I haven't spoken harshly to you before that you are so unruly? Is it your turn to say this? Do you want to slap me?"
Feng Yue's eyes turned red again, and her throat became tight, "Sister, you're right. You shouldn't be too petty to say it. Then it's the Third Young Master who asked? He should obviously know what's going on, isn't it? ? After all, the culprit is his classmate, and the culprit is his second sister. Why should he ask her? And she has a mouth but can’t speak? "
Fengyue blew her nose and said without any scruples: "Sister, you want to punish the younger one. The younger one is willing to be punished. He is completely willing to do so. It's not like the elder sister who is obviously very wronged, but the old lady is still indiscriminate. I want to beat and scold my sister!"
As he said that, he turned his head and saw Shen Wenzhuo's stunned expression when he was staying out of the matter. He couldn't help but suppressed his lips, "Sister, what did you tell the Third Young Master that the old lady regards you as her granddaughter, so Mother Hu doesn't do it lightly and takes care of the younger one?" It’s obvious that Mother Hu saw clearly that the old lady didn’t regard you as a member of the Shen family, so she beat you to death!”
Fengyue said that the other side was better, and mocked the old lady Yin. Shen Wenzhuo couldn't help it, raised his eyebrows and scolded, "Asshole! How dare you criticize the old lady in charge!"
He was like a chicken protecting an old hen, and wanted to get angry and seek justice for the old lady Yin, until Feng Yue became so angry that she said, "Young man, don't dare to talk nonsense! The old lady is such a powerful person, don't talk nonsense. Even if I say it truthfully like my sister, I will almost have her beaten to death with sticks!"
She became more and more arrogant, and Shen Wenzhuo turned pale and wanted to jump up.
Fengyue raised her chest and faced him without fear at all. She even pulled off the gauze on her face and pointed at Shen Wenzhuo to the hideous wound on her face.
"Third Young Master, take a look, the younger one is like this. Third Young Master, you can think about how serious the injury on my sister's hand is! Third Young Master still thinks that the younger one is talking nonsense, and thinks that Mother Hu didn't beat us to death. Sister!"
"Fengyue!"
Shen Nanbao stopped her, but the gauze wrapped around his hands couldn't shake her, so he could only call Fang Guan to drag Fengyue down.
Shen Wenzhuo was not sure. Fengyue only expressed her feelings and said words without any clue. He was confused and longing, but he understood one thing. This matter had something to do with Shu Zhi and the second sister, and even mixed it a little bit. Grandma's bias.
He spoke with difficulty, "Fourth sister, let Fengyue say, since she said that I should know about this matter, then I can't be kept in the dark!"
Fang Guan dragged Feng Yue to retreat after hearing this, so he could only look at Shen Nanbao.
Shen Nanbao knew that it was no longer possible to go along with the matter, so he sighed, motioned to the official to step back, and looked at Shen Wenzhuo again, "I'll just talk to my third brother."
After hearing this, Shen Wenzhuo sat up. Worried that Shen Nanbao was hiding something, he did not forget to add, "Fourth sister, you must tell me the truth, otherwise I will ask Shu Zhi and second sister."
Shen Nanbao couldn't help but laugh when he saw his deep brows, eyes as cold as cold pools, and indescribable seriousness on his face, "Third brother, do you think they can tell you the truth if you ask them?"
Shen Wenzhuo was stunned.
Shen Nanbao raised his hands and looked at him, "It hurts, but it's not as serious as Feng Yue said. As for the so-called Uncle Xie and Second Sister..."
Shen Nanbao pursed his lips in a somewhat embarrassed manner, "It was Uncle Xie who told his mother that he wanted to marry me, so he asked the Duke's wife to be the matchmaker and took me in as a concubine!"
Shen Wenzhuo was surprised and shouted: "Xie Yuanchang, that bastard, did he actually have a crooked idea for my sister?"
Recalling the previous times when Xie Yuanchang looked at his fourth sister, the hidden worries in Shen Wenzhuo's heart finally came to light, and he felt anger rising up in the light.
The anger came quickly and quickly, more intense than any time before.
He didn't dwell on the bit of sourness embedded in his anger, he only focused on gnashing his teeth at the excess of his classmate and friend.
"He is really becoming more and more unruly! He still comes to the door like this..."
Shen Wenzhuo clenched his teeth, paused for a moment, and then hammered the table with hatred, "He wants my sister to be his concubine! It's true that the feng shui of the capital has raised him to such an extent that he doesn't know how to be rich!"
Waves of wind came in through the leaky window, blowing on Shen Wenzhuo's face, making him feel dazed, but his mind kept recalling Shen Nanbao's words just now.
He wants his fourth sister to be his concubine!
What a great young talent, what a great uncle Xie!
To bury his fourth sister like this!
The fourth sister is already suffering so much, and he wants to stab her in the heart, disrupting the smooth life she finally got.
The more he thought about it, the angrier and more uncomfortable he became. He felt like he was being roasted on a fire. He couldn't sit still. He wanted to go to the Earl's Mansion right now and cut Xie Yuanchang into pieces with a thousand knives!
But he didn't dare to make his expression too ferocious for fear of scaring Shen Nanbao. He just took a deep breath, and then remembered Fengyue's almost questioning vent just now, swallowed his throat, and said sourly: "Grandma is So I beat you? It's obviously not your fault..."
Shen Nanbao could hear the loneliness in his tone, and didn't want his grandmother to lose the respect he had in the past, so he smiled dryly, "The third brother feels this way because the third brother here knows that Uncle Xie and I are innocent. , at least I don’t have any ulterior motives, but others won’t think so. After all, what kind of person is Mr. Xie? He can make him kneel down and beg Mrs. Kong to accept me. Not to mention that grandma attaches great importance to rules. "
After hearing this explanation, Shen Wenzhuo's heart tightened again before he could feel relieved, "Shu Zhi, is he kneeling down to beg his mother to come to Shen Mansion to propose marriage?"
Shen Nanbao nodded, "I heard the Duke's wife say so."
The light sentence fell on Shen Wenzhuo's ears, but it made him feel extremely complicated. He understood that his friend was usually a bit romantic, but he had always been smooth, never made promises to others, and would not contradict him for others. That mother.
Since he contradicted me, he must have been interested.
Shen Wenzhuo suddenly remembered that when he came back from the Earl's Mansion today, he was so comfortable but hesitated to speak, and still had an anxious expression, and a feeling of emptiness and weakness came to his heart, like the feeling after a broken string, and there was also a little bit of undetectable envy. .
Seeing him like this, Shen Nanbao said very understandingly: "After all, this matter is over like this. Third brother, don't ask Uncle Xie to argue with you. These things have always been messy and messy. It's no use." I was punished by my grandmother again."
Shen Wenzhuo opened his mouth, not knowing what to say to answer this sentence.
After a while, he stood up and bowed to Shen Nanbao in confusion, "Fourth sister, I'm so sorry. It seems that I brought these storms to you."
There was a lost smile on his face, and there was self-accusation in his tone.
Shen Nanbao sighed loudly, "Third brother, I really don't blame you. It's like falling rain. Who knows whether it will rain tomorrow."
She was obviously the one suffering, but she was the one comforted in the end.
His fourth sister really swallowed all the suffering in her belly.
Shen Wenzhuo rolled his eyes, bitterness rising in his mind, "I know."
