It was not until later in the cold palace that Shen Qiaochen gradually remembered these things.
I finally understood the helplessness and sigh contained in the last look my aunt looked at me.
Shen Qiaochen finally remembered that it was because of Xiao Li's persuasion that she went to the palace to see her aunt, and even some words were told to her by Xiao Li.
Now that I think about it, Shen Qiaochen couldn't understand those intentional or unintentional instigations and the hints between the lines. But how could he not understand the Concubine Chen who had seen numerous turmoils in the palace.
She wanted to exchange her life for the safety of her children.
But I don’t know why, maybe I still can’t rest assured after all.
In the end, she took away her two sons and one daughter with Emperor Chongming.
After her aunt left, Shen Qiao returned to Shen Mansion to visit her grandmother and parents.
At that time, the situation in the Shen Mansion was already a little unclear.
Concubine Chen's death made the Shen family aware of the coming danger.
And my grandmother is getting older because of the white-haired people giving away the black-haired people.
Shen Qiaochen still clearly remembered her grandmother kneeling in the small Buddhist hall to pray for her daughter and several grandchildren.
Shen Qiaochen knelt not far away and vaguely heard her grandmother's whisper:
"I should have known..."
"...Infatuated person..."
"sorry……"
…
Shen Qiaochen was uneasy at that time, and her grandmother's voice was extremely low.
Therefore, she only listened to these words intermittently and could not fully understand them.
But Shen Qiaochen can still remember the trembling and sorrow in her grandmother's voice clearly to this day.
Because of this, Shen Qiaochen could never forgive herself.
Because of her pressure to die, her parents agreed to let her marry Xiao Li.
Because of her stupidity and being instigated by Xiao Li to say those words, her aunt wanted to trade her life for her life.
It was also because of her existence that the Shen family had scruples. Although they knew that the cause of Concubine Chen's death was different, they could not come forward to seek justice for Concubine Chen.
Obviously, they are all daughters of the Shen family.
But in the end, she had to sacrifice her aunt to fulfill her love.
The most ridiculous thing is that even this relationship is just Shen Qiaochen's wishful thinking.
In the final analysis, it was because of Shen Qiaochen's desperate stubbornness that the Shen family ended up with such a tragic end.
Shen Qiaochen is the sinner of the Shen family...
…
Recognizing the identity of the person in front of him made Shen Qiaochen not feel very happy.
She frowned and was about to leave when a lazy male voice sounded in her ears:
"Oh? From the Li family?"
"...Yes, the left prime minister Li Chun is the ancestor of the family." Xiao Jue's momentum was so intimidating that Li Si managed to calm down and replied respectfully with lowered eyes.
But when he mentioned the word "Left Prime Minister", his voice was deliberately a little heavier, with a hint of "reminder".
He originally thought that as long as he named his grandfather, Xiao Jue might restrain himself.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jue just sneered when he heard this, still looking disapproving.
Li Si was annoyed, but found that everyone else in the lobby also looked like they should.
Indeed, in the eyes of everyone, even if Li Si reported his family status, the Zuo Xiangfu was really nothing in front of Xiao Jue.
Especially today, the left prime minister, for some reason, was so guilty that he wished Xiao Jue would never remember him.
But he didn't expect that in the end, he would be held back by his grandson.
This grandson is still the one he values the most...
As we all know, Prince Yong’s Mansion held an extremely special position in the Jin Dynasty.
As a member of the clan, Xiao Jue had both military power and divine favor.
Naturally, a family that relies solely on nepotism to climb the ladder will not be looked down upon.
Xiao Jue's disapproval was so obvious that the people watching the excitement could clearly see the disdain for Li Si in his eyes.
Gradually, everyone present realized that it seemed that Prince Xiao... seemed to despise this fourth young master of the Li family, who was highly valued by the Prime Minister.
In this regard, Shen Qiaochen was thoughtful.
Although she didn't know Xiao Jue well, based on these few contacts, she didn't think Xiao Jue was a person who showed his emotions easily.
But his current attitude towards Li Si was one of clear contempt.
It was as if he did it on purpose, fearing that others wouldn't see his dislike for the Li family.
Shen Qiaochen looked at it, and at first glance, this Young Master Li was a proud and arrogant person.
Xiao Jue's behavior today, with Li Si's character, I think he will definitely hold a grudge against him...
Sure enough, Li Si's still handsome face was now covered with clouds.
His eyes, which were quite similar to Li Chun's, were also full of gloom and jealousy.
His appearance made everyone present shake their heads secretly.
Today's Li Si is still too young, but he dares to show his dissatisfaction with Xiao Jue openly because of his family background and talent.
Maybe he thought he had hidden his emotions well, but in Xiao Jue's eyes, they were too superficial and childish.
For Xiao Jue, Li Chun is still the head of the Li family today. At least for the next twenty years, it will not be Li Si's turn to make the decision.
Even though he is Li Chun's most valued grandson, the flowers grown in the greenhouse have never experienced wind, rain and setbacks.
Mr. Li Si was born with intelligence, and Li Chun had placed high hopes on him since he was a child. Now he was awarded the Jinshi title before he even got the title, and he is a well-known talent in Beijing.
In addition, Li Chun was also determined to build momentum for his grandson, so Li Si was often sought after in Beijing.
Naturally, Xiao Jue has heard of his reputation as a "talented scholar".
But when he saw it today, Li Si's performance really disappointed him.
Li Chun, the left prime minister, came from a poor family. After taking the high school entrance examination, he worked hard in the court for decades.
Only then did he climb from the bottom step by step to the position of left prime minister.
No matter what his character is, in the final analysis, Li Chun is still quite capable and capable.
Compared with his grandfather, people like Li Si are not yet qualified to be his opponents.
Xiao Jue deliberately suppressed Li Si today, not only because he was a member of the Li family, but also to test.
Xiao Jue doesn't care how Li Chun will react when he knows what happened today.
But Li Si showed his emotions so easily with just a few taunts and cold looks.
The successor carefully cultivated by Zuo Xiangfu is nothing more than this.
…
Xiao Jue achieved his goal and immediately lost interest in Li Si.
He flicked his sleeves carelessly, and then never looked at Li Si again, and went to talk to Jiang Fengmian beside him.
…
Seeing this, Li Si, who had been holding back his anger, could hardly control his emotions.
The hands in his sleeves clenched into fists, and his whole body became tense.
Among the people present today, there were many people with clear eyes and clear minds, so they could clearly see the dissatisfaction in Li Si's eyes.
They couldn't help but secretly feel sorry for the left prime minister.
