"Slave, slave..."
Leng Xia knelt down with a pale face and stammered for a long time. Until the end, she couldn't tell why she was ill and why she couldn't kneel often.
Princess Ancheng actually made her kneel there until she collapsed and fainted before being sent back to the room.
Princess Ancheng wanted to take her down directly, but when she thought that Shen Wanqi and that woman were conspiring to bewitch her, she changed her plan.
She wants to lure the snake out of its hole.
I thought the matter would end there, but I didn't expect that early the next morning, Mrs. Shen would actually summon Princess Ancheng to the front yard for this matter.
Mrs. Shen is Shen Wanqi's grandmother.
Shen Wanqi's parents died when he was young, and Mrs. Shen raised him up alone.
Because Shen Zhizhi was still asleep, Princess Ancheng did not take her with her. Instead, she asked Mu Chun to take care of her, and then took Qiu Yu to Mrs. Shen's house.
Qiu Yu: "What's going on with this old lady... You just gave birth yesterday and your body is weak. It's okay if she doesn't come to see you. How can you let someone send you to the front yard?"
"What if the root cause of the disease is found!"
Princess Ancheng lowered her eyes when she heard this. Mrs. Shen had been displeased with her ever since she married into the Hou family.
Since she is the eldest princess, after marrying into the prince's house, she naturally cannot be as humble as an ordinary daughter-in-law, working hard and honoring her parents-in-law all her life. Instead, the parents-in-law need to look at the princess's face and act, and even salute to the princess when necessary.
Secondly, she had not given birth to a son and a half in the five years she had been in the palace. Mrs. Shen thought she could not have children, so she repeatedly encouraged Shen Wanqi to let him bring several concubines into the house, hoping to leave some heirs.
After she first got married, she couldn't bear to see her husband-in-law enduring her grandmother's complaints every day, so she followed the example of an ordinary daughter-in-law, always accompanying Mrs. Shen, doing everything with respect and hard work.
Sure enough, after she gave up her princess status, Mrs. Shen gradually accepted her, but she still had a lot of complaints in the past, and even more because of her submission...
"grandmother."
Princess Ancheng made a simple standing salute and looked at Mrs. Shen who was sitting in the main seat.
Mrs. Shen: "I heard that you punished the maid in your room until she fainted yesterday?"
Before Princess Ancheng could answer, she frowned and said, "I've told you a long time ago that you want to change your arrogant and domineering temper, but fortunately that maid just fainted. What if someone died?
"Not only you, but the entire Hou family will be implicated by you and criticized by others. Besides, you have just given birth to a child. It is time to eat and recite Buddha's name. How could you..." Mrs. Shen stroked her chest and shook her head. He waved his hand and said, "That's all, I won't mention what happened before, but from now on, you must always remember that you are a mother. You should not ignore the law as you did in the past. You should have more kind thoughts in your heart and accumulate virtues for your children and grandchildren."
Princess Ancheng suddenly felt a little dazed when she listened to these scoldings that she had heard almost every day for five years. Mrs. Shen disciplined her every day, but did she know the good things her grandson was doing outside?
Do you know that her good grandson would rather kill her own blood to take back a wild child of unknown origin and raise it?
Mrs. Shen saw that her eyes were dull and seemed to be wandering in a fugue, and she immediately slapped the table in displeasure.
Princess Ancheng had no intention of arguing with her and said calmly: "My granddaughter-in-law will remember it."
Mrs. Shen then softened her expression and said, "I heard from my servants that the maid in your yard is also smart, but I don't know how she offended you.
"Well, you can't tolerate her anymore, why don't you give me some face and send her to my courtyard. I just need a smarter maid."
Princess Ancheng suddenly paused after hearing this, as if something flashed through her mind, but she could not catch it.
She was silent for a moment, and she made a calculation in her mind. She said, "If grandma wants smart girls, Ancheng can send you two directly. Why do you need something that betrays the master?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Shen looked a little ugly: "What are you talking about? How old is that girl, and she is trapped in the house all day long, what bad thoughts can she have? I feel sorry for her, if she doesn't get it from you, I'm afraid I'm going to have my skin peeled off by you."
After hearing this, Princess Ancheng secretly raised the corners of her lips, but she still pretended to be embarrassed. After a moment, she sighed and said: "Well, since the old lady really values her so much, then the granddaughter-in-law will not stop her. After a while, When you get back, ask her to come find you here."
Mrs. Shen said hurriedly: "She was punished just yesterday. How can she still have the strength to come over by herself? I will send two people to pick her up later."
Hearing these words, Princess Ancheng finally raised her head and looked straight at Mrs. Shen.
Mrs. Shen frowned in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"Grandma, do you remember what day it was yesterday?"
Mrs. Shen was stunned for a moment, with an ugly expression on her face: "Are you trying to ridicule me for not even remembering the time when my great-grandson was born?"
Princess Ancheng smiled: "Grandma misunderstood. My granddaughter-in-law wants to say that since you remember that the maid who was punished has difficulty walking, why don't you remember that your granddaughter-in-law just gave birth yesterday and has the same physical inconvenience?"
After asking that question, Princess Ancheng left Mrs. Shen's yard without looking back.
In fact, regarding Leng Xia's matter, she could have refused to let go, and Mrs. Shen could not do anything to her. But today, when she saw that Mrs. Shen was so interested in Leng Xia, she changed her mind.
She would not be stupid enough to really believe what Mrs. Shen said. Mrs. Shen was an extremely selfish and face-conscious person. The person who could make Mrs. Shen ask for something from her at the cost of losing face would definitely not be her. Because she is clever and useful or has a kind heart, I can’t bear to see Leng Xia being tortured by her for such nonsense reasons...
She had a vague guess in her mind, but it had not been verified yet.
…
Shen Zhizhi woke up from hunger not long after Princess Ancheng left.
She blinked her eyes and babbled twice, trying to attract her mother to come over and feed her, but she found that there was no one around.
[Hey, where did Liangqin go? 】
Shen Zhizhi stretched out her little hand and waved it a few times, then pursed her lips and started to cry.
Since her mother is not here, she will attract her here!
However, before Shen Zhizhi started squeezing her tears and howling, she heard a noise from the window in the distance. Shen Zhizhi immediately closed her mouth, turned her little head slightly, and stared at the movement with her big beautiful eyes. The place.
what?
Shen Zhizhi looked at it for a while, and then realized that it seemed to be a figure, opening the window and preparing to jump in.
Sister Muchun and mother will definitely not leave through the window, then...
Shen Zhizhi screamed anxiously in her heart.
[Mother, help me, sister Muchun, help me! 】
Wow, it's not like that guy Shen Wanqi still wants to send someone to sell her to the countryside to become a village girl!
[Woo woo...]
[Woo woo...]
As Shen Zhizhi fluttered, the window was slowly opened, and then a figure rolled in the next moment.
