Chen Shuyi finally came, and Yu Wenshu was undoubtedly very excited. As long as he could repair the relationship with this former righteous daughter, it would be equivalent to repairing the relationship with the prince.
After all, there are only two crown princes in the East Palace, Liangdi, Chen Shuyi and Li Xiuning. The other one is Li Yuan's direct daughter.
The welcome etiquette was very solemn. Yuwen and his three dogs, all accompanied by their wives, concubines and children, saluted Chen Shuyi one by one.
The first wife of the elder Dayu Wenji was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan. She was once a doctor of the Imperial Academy, and later was the daughter of Wang Gui who joined the army in the Han Dynasty. She was also the biological uncle of Wang Gui who fled to Zhongnan Mountain to avoid disaster according to Jiancheng.
Wang Gui followed Yang Liang in rebellion and later committed suicide in Jinyang City. His family members were also implicated. His nephew Wang Gui listened to Yuan Tiangang's words and hid in Zhongnan Mountain, where he survived the amnesty that followed the crown prince's canonization.
At present, Wang Gui has been recommended to Yang Ming by Li Gang and Li Jiancheng, but Yang Ming still doesn't know how to arrange this person. After all, in history, Wang Gui, together with Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Wei Zheng, is known as the four famous prime ministers in the early Tang Dynasty.
The second oldest Yuwen Zhiji's first wife was originally the daughter of Changsun Chi. She divorced, but left him with two daughters. However, the Changsun family no longer recognizes these two daughters. His current first wife was from the Langya Wang family. , the youngest daughter of Taolin County Magistrate Wang Gun.
Although he is a young official, Wang Gun is the Huang Meng of the old Liang Dynasty, and his wife is Princess Jianchang, Empress Xiao's eldest sister. He is the Sui Dynasty who surrendered with Empress Xiao's eldest brother Xiao Cong, but the Sui Dynasty did not have much control. He took it seriously.
The third wife, Yu Wenshiji, is the younger brother of Queen Xiao and the eldest daughter of Xiao Jue.
It can be seen that Yang Yue's words are correct, and Yu Wenshu's foundation is really weak. None of the three sons' wives came from the Guanzhong Group. Originally, the old third scholar would have married Yang Guang's daughter in history, but in this life he was Yang Ming was disturbed.
But the relationship between their family and the Xiao family was very tight, and it was all caused by Yang Guang.
When Yang Guang was in Jiangdu, he had a very close relationship with Yuwenshu, and he knew that Yuwenshu and Yang Yue had a close relationship, so he deliberately made friends with Yuwenshu and used him to hook up with Yang Yue and Yang Su brothers.
Yu Wenshu did help. At that time, he and Yang Yue were good friends, but now they are almost enemies.
"How dare you sit on the throne? Mr. Xu must not arrange it like this,"
Chen Shuyi bypassed the main seat and sat down on one side. Behind her, in addition to the four maidservants, there were two Qianniu guards, Xue Shixiong's eldest son Xue Wanshu, and Laiyu, the eldest son's eldest son and grandson who came to protect his children.
Yu Wenshu didn't force it. If people don't sit in the main seat, then naturally no one will sit in the main seat today.
"In the past, Yu Wenshu was negligent in many ways. How many grievances Shuyi had in the past might as well be poured out today," Yu Wenshu and his wife were sitting next to Chen Shuyi.
Addressing someone by their official position at the door, and addressing them as Shuyi when entering the door, is a bit of a formality.
Liangdi, the prince's internal official, is second only to the crown prince and concubine.
Chen Shuyi looked at the familiar front hall and couldn't help recalling the past. She shook her head and smiled: "I have no resentment towards Mr. Xu. I entered the mansion when I was eight years old and left when I was sixteen. I dare not forget the eight years of upbringing. "
Yu Wenshu was stunned for a moment, burst into tears, and raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears.
His acting skills are already at the level of a movie king. If you call Chen Baoguo over, he will reach this level.
His three sons were obviously in trouble. They forced out a trace of sadness, which was obviously superficial, with artificial and slightly exaggerated expressions.
Oh, by the way, Yu Wenshu also has six concubines and three concubines who are also present today.
Yu Wenshu choked up and said, "I dare not express my kindness. The relationship between father and daughter for eight years has been remembered by Shu Yi. I am already very happy. Today Shu Yi is willing to condescend to this house. Yu Wenshu wants nothing."
In fact, Yu Wenshu's treatment of Chen Shuyi is okay. He is not sincere, but an old fox like Yu Wenshu. There is no fault in how he treats others in front of anyone. This is the city's scheming and has nothing to do with feelings. .
Yuwen Sangou is not good enough. The boss, Yuwen Wenhuaji, was still thinking about how to sleep with Chen Shuyi.
After all, Chen Shuyi's appearance is quite good. When we meet again today, Yu Wenhua still looks at her secretly from time to time. She feels a pity in her heart. It is a pity that she missed such a beautiful woman in her life.
In order to show her intimacy, Mrs. Dugu moved over to pick up food for Chen Shuyi herself, showing everyone's courtesy with every gesture.
Normally, I don't wait on others.
Chen Shuyi couldn't refuse, so she could only try it briefly.
"Hua Ji, Zhi Ji, Shi Ji," Yu Wenshu looked at his three sons and said, "You three evildoers, come here and apologize to Shu Yi."
The three of them quickly stood up and knelt in front of Chen Shuyi.
You have to kneel down. There are two princes behind me who are well prepared. Every word you say at today's banquet will be known to the prince. If you are slightly lacking in etiquette, Yang Ming is not easy to talk to.
But the emperor is gone, and no one can protect them.
"Shuyi, brother, I couldn't help you in the past. When we meet today, I feel ashamed. If you have any grievances in your heart, just say it out today." Yu Wenhuaji directly called the housekeeper over and said:
"I just received twenty lashes two months ago. How much I will receive today is just a matter of Shuyi's words."
Yuwenshu nodded quickly: "Shuyi, please don't spare this evil obstacle for my sake."
Chen Shuyi stared blankly at Yuwen Sangou kneeling in front of her, feeling that time had changed. Back then, she was just like a servant maid here, but today she is already a member of the royal family. The ups and downs are unpredictable, but that's it.
Following Yang Ming for so many years was the happiest period of her life. It could be said that she was extremely honored. No one in the entire East Palace dared to look down upon or neglect him. Even important officials like Yu Wenshu were groveling now.
The unbearable past of her youth flooded into her heart at this moment, and Chen Shuyi burst into tears.
When Yu Wenshu saw this, he said directly to the housekeeper: "Pump it for me."
This is the cleverness of Chen Shuyi and Yu Wenshu.
Chen Shuyi did not directly punish the three dogs, which was not true, but Yu Wenshu took the initiative to punish them, which was to save face.
In other words, the whipping of Sangou had nothing to do with Chen Shuyi. It was Yu Wenshu who wanted to beat him.
Moreover, Chen Shuyi would also stop at the appropriate time, showing mercy.
The harder Chen Shuyi cried, the harder the whip hit her.
Yu Wenshu knew in his heart that being whipped was just physical pain, but being knifed was life-threatening. As long as Chen Shuyi is willing to let you hit her, just hit her.
"Okay, okay, we are brothers after all, don't break him," Chen Shuyi stopped after just a few whips.
The butler's attack was not heavy and no muscles or bones were injured.
Chen Shuyi wiped away tears and said: "When I was eleven years old, I was playing next to the water tank in the backyard, but someone grabbed my feet and pushed me into the tank. If my brother hadn't saved me, my life would have been in danger."
It seems that he is helping Yuwen Wenji to speak, but in fact he is telling him how miserable he was when he was in Yuwen's family.
Yu Wenshu had no idea that this was happening, and he was furious at his wife: "You bitch, this is such a big deal? Why didn't you tell me?"
Dugu Shi knew that her husband was asking her to take the responsibility, but she didn't know about it because Chen Shuyi had always been an insignificant person in Yuwen's family.
"It's my fault," Dugu looked at her eldest son and said, "Who did it? Did you find out back then?"
Um, I did it. I threw her in and dragged her out. Yu Wenhuaji said quickly:
"It's been found out. It was a cheap servant who did it. He has already dealt with it."
Yu Wenshu said angrily: "Whose cheap maid?"
The second child, Zhiji, hurriedly said: "It belongs to my son. My brother had already disposed of it at that time, and the body was buried on the outskirts of the capital."
He is the most promiscuous person. Among the three dogs, he is the one who is not involved in human affairs. He has raped and killed many women, and I don’t know how many are buried in the suburbs of Beijing.
Qianniu prepared himself to come to Yu and said with a smile: "Where is the body buried? We have to see it with our own eyes. Please trouble Erlang to take the imperial guards to the outskirts of the capital. His Highness the Crown Prince will be unhappy if he knows that this is happening."
Zhiji endured the severe pain in his back and summoned a personal attendant, saying, "This person can lead the way. Please go and have a look."
Lai Yu went out and ordered a few East Palace guards before returning to the hall:
"Since there are no corpses, Erlang will go and explain to the prince himself."
Chen Shuyi frowned and turned her head, while Lai Yu quickly lowered his head: "This is an act of disrespect for one's humble position."
The two of them are just acting.
Chen Shuyi was not trained by her parents when she was young, so she is not very scheming. However, her husband and Yang Yinjiang are both very thoughtful people, and after so many years, they have learned to be 100% or 20% better.
And Pei Shuying, just because she doesn’t play tricks doesn’t mean she doesn’t have any tricks.
The three dogs were whipped and returned to their original positions. Someone was treating their injuries behind them, but they could not leave.
Because Chen Shuyi is not finished yet.
"I had a hard life. I was homeless when I was young. Although I was once a nobleman, I was no different than a slave when I was young. Although I gave my name to Yuwen, my life was so wasted. Fortunately, the prince lowered the curtain, and I am today."
After saying that, Chen Shuyi cried again. This time she showed her true feelings, not just acting. Her gratitude to Yang Ming was deep in her bones.
Yuwenshu also cried, with runny nose and tears, and kept scolding himself. He was lamenting his fate. If his family had treated Chen Shuyi better and treated her as a relative, he, Yuwenshu, would dare to do so now. Learn from Pei Ju and compete for the crown prince and his wife.
Because everyone knows that only three of the female concubines in the Prince's East Palace are the most favored, and the rest, even Li Yuan's legitimate daughters, cannot be compared with these three.
This is the difference between coming early and coming late. It is a huge advantage to become the prince's woman when he is young and in love.
But it's too late to say anything now. Chen Shuyi has recognized her ancestors and changed her surname back to Chen. The old Chen family has now returned to the court. She already has Jiangnan Chen's support behind her, and no other external help is needed.
The more Yuwenshu cried, the more excited he became. He fainted from crying, which shocked Chen Shuyi.
Good guy, you are still awesome.
Since Yu Wenshu was like this, it was hard for her to continue pursuing the case. In fact, she was not calm at all. (End of chapter)
