Rongshi subconsciously covered her stomach and looked at her warily, "What do you mean by this? Do you want to harm your brother?"
Shen Nanbao was surprised, put the gift on the table, and sat down under Mrs. Rong's vigilant gaze, "My dear, don't worry, I have no intention of harming anyone. My dear, please ask yourself, have you ever taken the initiative to harm anyone when I came back?" ?”
He has never actively harmed anyone, but that doesn't mean he has never harmed anyone.
But these words also reminded Mrs. Rong that Shen Nanbao was an independent and transparent person, and would never let herself fall into a dangerous place abruptly. What's more, whether she was pregnant or not was of no concern to her current situation. What.
Mrs. Rong put her heart back in her stomach, put on her usual gentle face, and ordered her servants to pour tea for Shen Nanbao.
"Four girls, please don't be surprised. I've been a little confused recently because of my pregnancy, so I've been thinking wildly."
Shen Nanbao sat in his seat, listening to the sound of gurgling water beside him, and gently touched his lips, "It's a good thing for me to think more, little lady. Many things require more thought before you can figure out what's wrong. Otherwise, you'll be dizzy." Even though we have been through a difficult time, we may feel comfortable, but there may be someone who stumbled us secretly.”
There was something in her quibbling words, which made Rong's heart tremble. She quickly smiled and said, "Since the fourth girl has something to say, why not open up and talk about it. It's so confusing. Do you want me to practice Zen?"
After hearing this, Shen Nanbao took a sip of the freshly poured tea and said, "Don't blame me, I just want to know if you think so in your heart. If not, why would I bother you by saying it out loud?"
Rong said solemnly: "It's good for the fourth girl to have such concerns. After all, I am a person who worships Buddha. The most important thing for a person who worships Buddha is to be pure and have few desires and be indifferent to gains and losses. But now I am not just a person who worships Buddha. I still have a deep heart." Women and children with nothing but bodies should naturally be more vulgar and live a plain and simple life!"
Shen Nanbao nodded, "Since I said that, I won't take advantage of you. Do you remember what I said to my second sister and the hairpin ceremony?"
Rong naturally remembered it, and even recalled it like a cymbal every day.
Apart from birth, she is inferior to Peng in every aspect. In terms of offspring, she is also better than Peng. At such an old age, she can still help the master.
And what about Peng? She is guarding an incompetent young girl alone, trying to marry a good husband and secure her position as mistress.
But now the eldest girl's behavior is becoming more and more eccentric. If she continues like this, she will definitely stain the lintel of Shen's house.
Looking at my side, the second girl is married to a magistrate who knows the state, so she can help the master. The third brother is also diligent and studious, and he is very active every day. What's wrong?
Just because of her status as concubine, Sister Wan is now being wronged in Yinglou Pavilion, and she is also living in fear, even the wedding ceremony is nowhere to be seen!
Rong touched her knees with hatred.
Such behavior fell into Shen Nanbao's eyes, and his smile became even deeper.
But Ms. Rong is a smart person after all, and knows not to expose her innermost thoughts, lest she becomes a weapon for others to use, so she was depressed for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "Remember, but, Miss Four Let me say this, the difference between wife and concubine is like the heaven and earth, and it must not be overstepped. What you said is indeed extremely treasonous. I’d better not say it again next time.”
Shen Nanbao knew her concerns. Although she was a good concubine, once she was a concubine, she was always a concubine. If she wanted to be promoted to the head wife, she had to divorce the head wife first. But as the matron of the house, she represented the lintel of the house. How could she be so easy? Xiu abandoned her, not to mention that Peng was the legitimate daughter of the imperial court official.
Unless Peng does something absurd and shakes the foundation of the Shen family.
Otherwise, according to the temperament of grandmother and father who would swallow broken teeth in order to look bright and beautiful, they would have to carry it for Peng.
This is why my mother was clearly framed by the Peng family, but my grandmother and father could turn a blind eye and expose it.
Shen Nanbao understood this, so he killed all Wang Mama's people and others, and then suppressed it, not to wait for the truth to surface again and go to court, but to 'wait' for Peng to do something unforgivable again. , a mistake that even Grandma and the others could not escape.
But I didn't expect that the third brother would be the first to wait.
There were many thoughts, but only for a moment, Shen Nanbao lowered his eyebrows and nodded helpfully, "My mother is right, I was confused, but I was also anxious for my mother at the time. After all, if it weren't for this, the second sister would Why was he being pushed to fill houses a while ago?"
Shen Nanbao didn't seem to notice Peng's increasingly congested face, and still smiled lightly. Manman said: "But it's all in the past. People have eyes in front, so they have to look forward. Looking back on yesterday is meaningless, but if things are not resolved urgently and are allowed to drag on, it is like not treating an injury and waiting for it to rot, becoming gangrene and hindering oneself every day."
As she spoke, she paused and took a cup of tea to drink. The look from the rim of the cup struck Rong's heart like an arrow.
"My dear, tell me, is this true?"
These words were so straightforward that they exposed all her thoughts in the sun.
Rong's heart, which was like banging a clapper, calmed down. She slowly raised the cup and used the lid to smooth out the fine powder. After taking a sip, she said: "The fourth girl is right, but if you want to remove the gangrene, you need to do it." If you have to have cramps, peel skin, break bones and knock out marrow, it is better to live like this. Although it hurts occasionally, you can live a stable life at least, right?"
Anyway, Shen Nanbao is the one who is anxious now. Although she has a son and a daughter, her life is a little more constrained, but it is still going well. As long as she waits until Brother Zhuo becomes the head of the family, she can feel proud, so why worry about the gains and losses now? Get together in the fire.
Mr. Rong even thought that if Mr. Peng swallowed up the Dingli, he could just swallow it. Credit would avoid disaster, wouldn't it?
Shen Nanbao slowly lifted the lid of the tea. With a crisp sound, his voice was as deep as the rolling cold pool, and his words were as fast and sharp as the cold wind blowing in. "My dear, I still feel that it only hurts now." Does it hurt? Then let me ask my mother, has she ever visited my third brother during this time?"
Brother Zhuo?
Mrs. Rong didn't understand why Shen Nanbao suddenly mentioned him, and said with a frown, "He's about to leave in autumn, I'm pregnant again, and I've started to have some signs of morning sickness recently, so I don't want to disturb him or make him upset."
Her morning sickness comes on very quickly, and other people only experience it in February or March, but she always gets it around January, and it can be so uncomfortable that you can't eat, and you can't sleep well all day long.
It is precisely because of this that Peng has something to talk about.
Old God Rong was thinking.
The confused look fell in Shen Nanbao's eyes, which made him tighten his sleeves.
But she didn't ask any more questions. She just took a deep breath and said slowly: "I haven't gone to see the third brother recently, but I still heard it. The third brother has been sleepy recently, and I haven't noticed it? What's more, I feel Why does my mother insist on letting my second sister go to the room to be taught a lesson at this exact moment?"
Word by word, like water droplets from a mountain stream, slowly seeped into Rong's heart, making her face turn pale. She stood up holding her heart in her hands, "What do you mean by this? Brother Zhuo, what's wrong with him?"
Shen Nanbao also stood up and looked at Mr. Rong with eyes like clear springs. He didn't say anything. He just came forward and caressed her down before saying, "I just came here to see the third brother. Isn't that nice?" . ”
Rong's heart skipped a beat and she leaned on her chair, "Why is he bad? No, I have to go and see him!"
As he said this, he was about to get up, but his shoulders were held down by Shen Nanbao.
"Mom, don't be anxious. Fengyue has already sent a doctor to come and take a look. You can wait for me to finish speaking before it's too late to go see Third Brother."
Mrs. Rong felt confused, and the locks and cushions on the chair felt like needle felt, which made her feel passionate. "Since the fourth girl has something to say, she might as well say it directly. To make a long story short, why bother knocking on the edge of the vat like this?"
Shen Nanbao just curled his lips in response to her harsh words, "I misunderstood, I just think that the person who harmed the third brother is very vicious. If I stumble to find him like this, I'm afraid I will scare him away."
Although it was only a few words, Ms. Rong had already understood what she said. She sat in her seat and turned pale with horror, "Who wants to harm my brother Zhuo?"
Who else could it be.
Only the eldest lady.
It's not as if Mrs. Yin and Shen Shi harmed the only male in the Shen family!
However, Shen Nanbao was not wrong either. She wanted to avenge Gu Xiaoniang, and maybe she wanted to use her as a cover to deal with Peng.
Shen Nanbao saw what she was thinking, and didn't rush to defend herself. He just looked outside and saw Feng Yue's light willow-colored skirt fluttering towards her, and the corners of his mouth curved.
"Sister."
Shen Nanbao withdrew his hand and asked, "Doctor, are you ready to see me?"
"Look..."
After hearing this, Mrs. Rong immediately stood up and grabbed Feng Yue's hand, "What's wrong with my brother Zhuo?"
Fengyue glanced at Shen Nanbao, saw her nodding, and then said: "Don't worry, little lady, the doctor said that fortunately, the cold food powder was not consumed much, and it did not soak into the muscles and bones. It was just that the body surface was a little hot and lethargic. , now I’ve prescribed the medicine, I’ll wait for a few days to take it, and just restrain myself from eating that stuff and it’ll be fine.”
Shen Nanbao squinted his eyes and said to himself that it was indeed Hanshi Powder.
Rong was dumbfounded as if he had been struck by thunder, "What did you say? Hanshi Powder?"
Hanshi Powder was only used in the palace to treat cold symptoms in the early days. Later, it gradually became popular, probably because it was used by the imperial family, and it soon became a thing to show off one's status in the elite circles of Gyeonggi Province.
From this point of view, Hanshi Powder seems to be a good thing.
But what a good thing!
That cold food powder is a life-threatening weapon!
You will feel refreshed after taking it at first, but as you go on, you will become more and more inseparable from it, making you feel sluggish. Once you take it again, you will be no different from epilepsy. If this continues, if you don't quit this cold food powder, There is only one way to die!
But when it comes to quitting, it is absolutely impossible without peeling off a layer of skin!
Mrs. Rong only knew this because her mother, who was a private matchmaker, dealt with high-ranking officials every day.
Otherwise, when I hear these things now, it would still be in the dark!
It was precisely because of this that Mr. Rong completely dispelled his doubts about Shen Nanbao.
After all, someone like Shen Nanbao cannot get something like Hanshi Powder, and only Peng, the legitimate daughter of a middle school doctor, can get it!
Mrs. Rong rubbed her teeth with hatred, "She bullied others too much! She also watched Brother Zhuo grow up, how could she be so vicious!"
