Shen Dingzhu turned around and wanted to leave, but was caught by the Zhao family boy and grabbed his wrist severely.
They dragged her out of the courtyard. Shen Dingzhu's hair was slightly messy, and her pretty white face contained cold anger: "Back then, you were a concubine in my grandfather's house, and my grandmother was in trouble. It was all because of my mother's pity on you, and she protected you everywhere. you. "
"Without my mother's persuasion, how could you have married as the second daughter of the Mu family? My mother takes care of you as a biological sister and does not dislike you for being born out of another wife."
"Now, how do you repay her? Now that I think about it, I'm afraid you have hated her for a long time. All these years, you have just pretended to be kind in front of my mother!"
Thinking of the care Shen Dingzhu took for his aunt's family in his previous life, he felt blind.
When Mrs. Zhao heard Shen Dingzhu reveal her life experience in public, her face turned pale with anger and her lips trembled.
"You, shut up." She urged angrily, "What are you waiting for? Take action!"
Zhao Anyuan's mother was so angry that she was breathing rapidly. He quickly supported Mrs. Zhao and yelled at Shen Dingzhu in disappointment: "Cousin, what you say is really chilling. No matter if you get beaten, you must learn a lesson."
At this time, a cold scolding came from the side: "Stop."
Shen Dingzhu turned around and saw Zhou Luli coming with two followers.
The autumn wind blew, and the branches and leaves above the head shook with dancing light and shadow. Zhou Luli stepped out of the mottled scenery and pulled Shen Dingzhu behind him with one arm.
She was startled.
Zhou Luli said in a majestic voice: "If I remember correctly, Miss Shen is Mrs. Zhao's niece. Even if the two families have no contact with each other now, there is no need for such tit-for-tat."
Mrs. Zhao's face softened and she nodded: "Major General Zhou doesn't know something. My niece not only uttered arrogant words, but also extorted money from me. I was so angry that I wanted to discipline this unfilial daughter on my aunt's behalf."
Shen Dingzhu sneered: "That is my mother's thing. You withheld it and refused to pay it back. You also tried to destroy my innocence. Don't mention my mother. You are not worthy."
Mrs. Zhao covered her heart, looking completely heartbroken, almost crying.
"Dingzhu, you really disappoint me."
Zhou Luli pursed his thin lips and said, "No matter what misunderstanding happened between you two, Miss Shen is now His Highness Prince Ning's roommate. It is inappropriate to punish her based on your status."
One sentence made Mrs. Zhao tremble.
Zhao Anyuan wanted to say something, but she held his hand down and said, "Thank you, Major General, for reminding me. I was confused."
Zhou Luli turned around and said in a calm and cold tone: "Miss Shen, I will take you back to the prince."
Walking in the palace with swaying leaves, the wind blew silently through the golden eaves.
At some point, the two followers brought by Zhou Luli moved slightly away.
Shen Dingzhu walked in front of him. She lowered her head and said nothing. Zhou Luli's face was sharp and angular, and his thin lips were pursed into a line.
When they were far away from the Zhao family's yard, Shen Dingzhu said in a low voice: "General Zhou, thank you for helping me out of the siege just now. It's getting late, so I'll go back to Xiyuan first."
There were many people here, and she didn't want to stay alone with Zhou Luli for too long, lest someone see her and hurt him.
Shen Dingzhu hurried past him and was about to move forward when Zhou Luli's voice came from behind: "Don't worry about temporary setbacks. The important thing is not to give up on yourself."
She paused for a while, and when she looked back, Zhou Luli had already led someone away from the opposite direction.
When Xiao Langyan came back, Shen Dingzhu was sitting under the window surrounded by brocade quilts, reading and sipping tea.
Seeing his figure, she stood up slowly and greeted him absentmindedly.
Xiao Langyan washed his hands in the copper basin at the door, then walked to the window and saw Shen Dingzhu in a gloomy mood, so he only glanced at it twice more.
Then, he walked to the desk, spread ink on paper, wrote a few words, and then called her: "Come here."
Shen Dingzhu walked obediently, and Xiao Langyan asked her to hold the pen and write according to his handwriting.
She lowered her head and obeyed without saying a word.
After a moment, Xiao Langyan lowered his eyes and saw that Shen Dingzhu had finished writing, which was almost exactly the same as his handwriting.
He lowered his eyes: "You really know how to copy, did you learn it specifically?"
Ever since she copied the painting accurately that time, Xiao Langyan discovered that she was not as simple as she seemed.
Shen Dingzhu folded his clothes, Bai Li's beautiful face had a pure smile: "I haven't studied it deliberately, maybe it's some talent?"
Xiao Langyan took out a letter from his sleeve and put it on the table: "Follow the handwriting and write a new one."
Shen Dingzhu read the content of the letter, and his originally calm eyes turned to astonishment.
"Your Majesty, this is..." This is actually a letter plotting an assassination!
The assassin was the prince, but the signature was actually Xiao Langyan himself.
Xiao Langyan's dark pupils showed the unfathomable Mo Yuan. He leaned on the table with his arms folded and said with a calm expression, "Just follow what you write."
"But," Shen Dingzhu began to worry, "I haven't practiced Wang Ye's calligraphy, so I'm afraid some of the writing won't look like it."
"It doesn't matter." What we want is that they are not completely similar.
Shen Dingzhu's scalp felt numb and he held the pen for a long time before he made up his mind to write.
After writing a letter, Xiao Langyan picked it up, read it, and nodded with satisfaction. Then, the real letter of conspiracy in his hand was lit by a candle and burned to ashes.
Shen Dingzhu's beautiful eyes flashed with uneasiness.
Xiao Langyan was calm, folded the letter she wrote and put it away, and asked, "Did you just go out?"
"Well," Shen Dingzhu lowered his eyelashes, "I met the Zhao family and it was a bit unpleasant."
Before Xiao Langyan could speak, she had already said coldly: "But I will handle it myself." It was as if she already had an idea in her mind.
He was silent for a moment, then sneered: "I hope what you said is true, and don't come back crying to ask me to make the decision."
At night, the wind blew slightly and the dark clouds closed the moon.
In Nanyuan, the Fu family, as dignitaries in the court, naturally lived closest to the princes and grandchildren.
Aunt Gao reported everything she saw and heard to Mrs. Zhao truthfully to Mrs. Fu.
Mrs. Fu was wearing a brocade dress, with gold hairpins on her temples symmetrically. On her well-maintained face, she had a pair of slender black eyebrows, which were now tightly wrinkled, creating a thin line between the eyebrows.
"Not to mention the identity of the criminal daughter of the Shen family, Mrs. Zhao's behavior is really unworthy of the stage." She scolded softly, quite disgusted.
How could a wealthy family take the initiative to send their niece to others to play with?
In order to pave the way to success, even human ethics have been forgotten.
Aunt Gao nodded: "That's right, the Zhao family is so unruly that it's not worth it for Madam to associate with her."
"Originally, because her father is the Duke of Pingyi County, I wanted to make acquaintance with her so that I could expand my connections with Qiu'er. But she is so unclear, and we won't be able to interact with her in the future."
After she finished speaking, Aunt Gao tentatively said: "But, that Shen Dingzhu is now Prince Ning's wife, and Qiu Shou is with her this time, so our young lady..."
