The more Shen Tingjun pressed her, the more frustrated Sang Nianyue became. She was unwilling to reply, and her heart felt weak, so she lay down and continued to sleep, pretending that she didn't hear what he said.
Seeing this, Shen Tingjun moved her face to face him.
But she still didn't open her eyes, and just said lazily: "My eyes hurt and I want to sleep for a while. Please don't disturb me, Mr. Hou. As for Zhou Baolu, people are doing it and God is watching. I can't do anything to her." , but I believe she will not end well."
Shen Tingjun frowned, "Do you not want to seek justice for yourself? Or do you not believe me?"
Sang Nianyue said: "Master Hou is joking. I don't believe him. I just don't want to embarrass him. Since ancient times, it is difficult for upright officials to resolve family affairs. Master Hou is determined to seek justice for me. I understand it, but Hou I have my best interests at heart, but I don’t want to embarrass Mr. Hou.”
Shen Tingjun looked at her, looking straight at her to see that she was speaking nicely, but he closed his eyes and did not look at her.
The so-called thinking about him is nothing more than not trusting him.
Shen Tingjun closed his eyes and stood up immediately.
Sang Nuanyue felt the movement beside her and couldn't help but raise her eyes to look over, then she couldn't help but turn her head sideways.
He must be angry.
Come to think of it, how could the dignified Marquis Wu An withstand her strange aura?
He is the emperor's favored son, the Shen Hou that no one dares to provoke. There were so many women chasing him and supporting him, even the princess who had fallen in love with Yudie fell at his knees, and even the important officials of the court did not dare to be so disrespectful to him. She was so bold that she dared to make strange noises to him.
But it's better if he leaves, so that the woman's love affair can be broken off as soon as possible before it is exposed. Otherwise, if the story gets out, it will be just a romantic affair for him, but it will be life-threatening for her.
Shen Tingjun's cold footsteps came from the room, and then the door was opened.
He seemed to be standing at the door looking at her, but Sang Nuanyue just closed her eyes and didn't dare to open them at all.
There seemed to be a sarcastic "ha" sound in the dark night, and then he no longer hesitated and strode out.
After silence returned to the room, Su Xin and Su Jin walked in together.
Su Jin's expression was relatively calm, but Su Xin was a little frightened. She asked: "Girl, have you angered Mr. Hou? I see that Mr. Hou's face is livid, as if he wants to kill someone."
"Maybe." Sang Nuanyue was also in a mess, but she forced herself to calm down, "Seal all the windows in the house..."
Sang Nuanyue didn't realize what she had said until she finished speaking, and she immediately stopped talking.
Shen Tingjun will probably never come to Sang's house again, so what's the point of sealing the windows?
The two maids just didn't notice the girl's gaffe. Su Jin was particularly considerate and said, "Spring has already begun. Isn't it necessary to seal the windows now? The weather will be completely warm in a few days. Then open the windows frequently." It's ventilated and the air in the house is fresh. Girl, please don't seal the windows, otherwise you have to remove them after sealing them, which is too troublesome."
"Yeah, that's fine." Sang Nianyue stopped mentioning Shen Tingjun, and then thought of Zhou Baolu.
When I think of Zhou Baolu, my whole body becomes energetic.
She sat up and told Su Xin and Su Jin everything Shen Tingjun told her. Naturally, the two maids were filled with indignation. But they had no idea how to bring justice to their girl and how to take revenge.
The key is that Zhou Baolu is no ordinary person, she is the wife of the Hou Mansion. Taking revenge on her is equivalent to offending the Hou Mansion. Can the people in the Hou Mansion just sit back and watch?
Sang Nianyue thought for a while and said: "If we can't offend the Hou Mansion, we can't afford to offend the Zhou Mansion? Zhou Baolu wants to sell me in exchange for Zhou's father to come to Beijing, so if we break her plan, isn't it also revenge?" Is it done?”
Su Xin was very interested, "Are you taking revenge on the Zhou family? Does the girl have an idea in mind?"
Sang Nuanyue nodded.
Thanks to living in the Zhou family for several years before, Sang Nianyue knew a lot of shameful things about the Zhou family. Although she didn't know whether it was true or false, it was groundless. She didn't need to check the truth or falsehood herself. She only needed to tell these things to the people who didn't deal with Zhou's father, and someone would naturally deal with Zhou's father for her.
Zhou's father was the sixth-rank Sinong Cheng in Huizhou City.
Si Nongcheng, as the name suggests, is in charge of everything related to agriculture and cereals. In fact, in addition to this, Si Nongcheng was also in charge of rent, taxation, and official property.
This official may seem inconspicuous, but when it comes to "taxes", he is designated as a fat official.
This is indeed the case.
I think that when Zhou's father adopted him, he was just a poor scholar who repeatedly failed in scientific examinations. It was after adopting Sang Nianyue's grandfather that the Zhou family's grandfather gave up a large sum of money and found an official position in the state capital for Zhou's father. At that time, he was only a seventh-rank official.
According to the wishes of the grandfather of the Zhou family, Zhou's father was an expert at raising pots, but had little talent and little knowledge. If he could honestly be a seventh-rank official in this life, he might be able to live in peace and stability until old age. But Zhou's father didn't think that his uncle and stepfather were doing this for his own good. Just because he was the grandfather of the Zhou family who was reluctant to give up money and seek a greater official position for him.
Therefore, after the Zhou family's grandfather passed away, Zhou's father used almost all the family property to give gifts. He was very resourceful and really good at maneuvering. He just jumped here and there, and in the end he got the lucrative job of Si Nongcheng.
The reason why it is said to be a "fat job" is because Zhou's father had given up almost all the family property left to him by his grandfather before seeking an official position. But since becoming Si Nongcheng, the Zhou family has gradually become richer.
Although it was somewhat inferior to the wealth left by the Zhou family's grandfather, Zhou's father earned all the food and money himself, and he was very proud of it.
No need for outsiders to tell where the money came from, Sang Nianyue could figure it out.
What's more, Zhou's father is not a prudent person. His brothers and sisters from his family often come over to cry for poverty, but Zhou's father can always provide money to help. Therefore, the source of the Zhou family's wealth is indeed worthy of investigation.
There is also Mother Zhou who loves to show off and often wears several large gold bracelets on her wrists; she sells loan sharks and uses her identity to ask for bribes...
When Sang Nianyue said this, Su Xin became excited, "I also heard that she had murdered several concubines. Father Zhou's concubines disappeared for no reason, and they are definitely related to her."
Su Jin frowned and said, "But a concubine is considered private property. Whether it's killing or selling, it all depends on the master's decision. Even if she kills someone, it's not illegal. At most, it will bring bad reputation to her if word spreads."
Su Xin was a little disappointed, but she still said, "Wouldn't ruining her reputation ruin Zhou Baolu's reputation? They are mother and daughter. They are one and the same. No matter what, I must spread the word to her anyway."
Sang Nianyue wanted to say, "You don't need to tell about these things that have noses and eyes. As long as the Zhou family's reputation is bad, someone will naturally tell them. Even those things that have no nose and eyes can be made up for you, right? She understands this very well.”
Thinking about the clues that she and Wang Wenju had been getting along for a long time, Sang Nianyue fell into silence.
It was too late. The master and servant had decided on this matter and were ready to rest.
Sang Nianyue thought of Shen Tingjun before going to bed, but she offended Shen Tingjun a lot today, and because of Shen Hou's arrogance, she didn't bother to pay attention to her anymore.
She was relieved, which was obviously a good thing, but for some reason, remembering his angry look when he left, Sang Nianyue tossed and turned for a long time before slowly falling asleep.
Back to Shen Tingjun, when he left Sangzhai, he was already full of anger.
The day went smoothly. No matter how well-educated Shen Hou was, his face was as heavy as water.
Besides, he hadn't slept for two days, and he had just experienced Sang Nianyue's distrust. Shen Tingjun was agitated, and his face was as cold as a storm coming.
When I returned to the Hou Mansion, I expected to get a moment of peace, but I saw the lights in the front yard were brightly lit, and from time to time, the sound of a woman breaking down and crying could be heard. Shen Tingjun's brows were so furrowed that he could pinch a mosquito to death.
He asked Cheng Lin in a cold tone, "Are they Sanlang and Zhou?"
Cheng Lin appeared out of nowhere and said with lingering fear: "It's the Third Master and the Third Lady. The Third Master and the Third Lady started making trouble at dusk, and even the old lady was alarmed."
Cheng Lin knew the whole story, and also knew why the third master and the third wife were having such a quarrel. But he knew these things, but he didn't dare to tell the old lady, for fear that the old lady would be angry.
The Third Master and the Third Madam were also sensible, and both of them obviously wanted to hide it from the Old Madam. So no matter how the old lady asked, she still couldn't find out the reason.
The old lady was so angry that her mouth was trembling. It was the third master who personally sent it back to Heyan Hall.
But when the third master returned to the front yard, the third lady chased him again. The two made a fuss, which alerted all the maids and servants in the house.
Cheng Lin couldn't go over to watch the fun, but he knew with his toes that it was the Third Master who was going to show off his cards and wanted to deal with the Third Lady. The third lady will not sit still and wait for death, let alone admit guilt easily, so she should be quibbling, making unreasonable troubles, crying, swearing...
After all, you can't escape these things.
Cheng Lin looked at the dark-faced Master Hou and asked, "Master, are you going to rest in the front yard today, or should you go back to the backyard?"
The front yard will definitely not be quiet for a while, the backyard...
Shen Tingjun couldn't help but think of that night and those scenes, and he couldn't help but think of Sang Nianyue, and he suddenly couldn't breathe evenly.
After a long while, in the face of Cheng Lin's frightened expression, he coldly said, "Place it in the front yard...call Sanlang."
Cheng Lin responded and ran over quickly.
As a result, not only Shen Tinglan but also Shen Tingyi came with him.
Shen Tingyi greeted his eldest brother, and Shen Tinglan looked lost. After seeing his eldest brother, he cried and laughed, and even forgot to salute.
Shen Tingjun ignored him completely, only looked at Shen Tingyi and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping now?"
Shen Tingyi's square face showed worry, "Mother is not asleep either. I have been staying with her in the backyard." He looked at Shen Tinglan and said, "The front yard is really noisy. Mother is worried and asked me to come over. have a look."
Shen Tingjun nodded, "You go back and go to the backyard to comfort your mother and get some rest early. I am here with Sanlang. When I handle this matter, I will tell my mother the cause and effect tomorrow morning."
Shen Tingyi understood the tone of the words and knew that his eldest brother didn't want him to know about the mess between Sanlang and his younger siblings.
But he is the elder brother, and he is really not particular about caring about his younger brother's affairs in the house. After all, he really had no interest in this matter, so he nodded and followed his elder brother's instructions and hurried to the backyard.
After Shen Tingyi left, Shen Tingjun looked at the embarrassed Shen Tinglan and asked him: "Tell me, what happened again?"
Shen Tinglan's eyes were red, and she confided helplessly to her elder brother, "Brother, she doesn't admit it. I put all the evidence in front of her, but she still refused to admit it. I pushed Zhijin out and asked Zhijin to confront her, but she They kept saying that it was Zhijin who had evil intentions towards me, that it was Zhijin who had wronged her, and that it was Zhijin who had evil intentions."
Shen Tinglan choked with sobs and couldn't help but shed tears, "Brother, how could she be like this..." Despicable and shameless, immoral and disgraceful.
These two idioms went through his mind, but Shen Tinglan didn't say them out.
But his heart was filled with pain and tears.
This was the virtuous and virtuous wife he had insisted on marrying at the beginning, but her virtuousness was just an act, and so was her virtuousness. In fact, she is shameless and cunning, with no beautiful qualities of a woman at all.
He was really blind at first.
Shen Tinglan struggled with pain on his face, "Brother, just now, she was still holding me and crying for injustice. She said that I slandered her, that Cousin Sang gave me Ecstasy, and even said..."
"What did you say?" Shen Tingjun asked calmly.
Shen Tinglan only shook his head and did not say the dirty words.
He didn't know why Zhou Baolu had such thoughts. She actually thought that he was attracted to cousin Sang and coveted her. She also said that it was because he had a bad mind, that he disliked the old person, and that all Lin Lin's problems were because he changed his mind first. So even if she was innocent, he would still label her as dirty, just so that he could kick her out of the court with peace of mind so that he could marry Sang Nianyue.
How ridiculous.
Shen Tinglan closed his eyes and refused to tell his elder brother this. He just calmed down his thoughts and said slowly: "Brother, she and I are both too excited now. It's better for us to separate and calm down first."
Shen Tingjun said "Yeah", "Three days, I want to hear the results after three days."
Shen Tinglan called "big brother" in confusion.
The eldest brother has never interfered in the affairs between their husband and wife, so why did he say such a thing now?
But when he thought that if this matter was not handled well, it might affect the centuries-old reputation of the Marquis Wu'an Mansion, Shen Tinglan nodded hesitantly and said, "I will handle the matter as soon as possible and will not bring any harm to the family." trouble. "
"It's not a family problem. You may have forgotten that there is another victim in this matter."
When Shen Tingjun mentioned Sang Nianyue, Shen Tinglan's face suddenly froze.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered something——
Zhijin gave Cousin Sang a strong aphrodisiac. He didn't know if the aphrodisiac had an antidote, but he knew that neither Baolu nor Zhijin would give the antidote to Cousin Sang.
Therefore, it is entirely possible that Cousin Sang was...
Shen Tinglan's eyes were suddenly filled with panic. When he thought of what kind of harm Sang Nianyue had suffered, his heart felt numb with pain. His whole body was trembling, and he couldn't even speak another word.
However, Shen Tingjun has already given an ultimatum, "Get the matter settled as soon as possible. Don't delay, let alone disturb my mother's peace."
Shen Tinglan responded dullly, "Okay."
