After getting on Shen's carriage, Princess Pingyang carefully inspected Shen Zhuo and Han Mei again.
Although the doctor at the academy said it was nothing serious, as far as the eye could see, there were scratches and scratches everywhere on the two of them, especially Han Mei, who had large bruises on her waist and legs. Princess Pingyang asked the accompanying guards to hurry up and go to the imperial hospital to ask for the imperial doctor.
Shen Zhuo didn't feel anything during the fight before, but now sitting in the carriage, Shen Zhuo felt pain all over his body, like needles pricking him when he twisted slightly. She couldn't help but press her waist and gasp softly.
A pair of plain white hands pressed on her waist and slowly kneaded her. Shen Zhuo turned around and saw that it was Han Mei.
"Jiaojiao, I'm lucky to have you today, otherwise..."
Han Mei's voice was hoarse. She probably hurt her throat from shouting before. As she talked, she couldn't continue and tears flowed silently.
"Oh, Third Sister, don't cry!" Shen Zhuo hurriedly wiped the tears on Han Mei's face, patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, if those two from the Han family dare to trouble you again, I will Beat them until their teeth are all over the floor!"
Shen Zhuo's eyes were bright, lively, and full of vitality, like a tree flourishing in spring. Seeing Shen Zhuo like this, Han Mei actually stopped crying.
"Shen Jiaojiao, you are a girl, don't be tempted to beat someone up!" Princess Pingyang said angrily, "Who can you beat with your little strength? When you are healed, I will deal with you again!" "
Seeing that Princess Pingyang was really angry, Han Mei hurriedly said: "Mother, Jiaojiao is in danger because of me. If you want to punish me, I am willing to..."
"Mei'er, this is none of your business." Before Han Mei could finish her words, Princess Pingyang interrupted her.
"You are her third sister, so it is natural for her to save you. But if she gets into fights every now and then, if you don't discipline her properly, she may cause big trouble in the future!"
Shen Zhuo shut his mouth pragmatically and huddled in the corner of the carriage obediently, not to provoke the furious Princess Pingyang.
Seeing that Shen Zhuo had become more honest, Princess Pingyang turned to Han Mei and asked carefully about the whole story. Han Mei answered in detail one by one.
Shen Zhuo leaned against the car wall and listened. She wondered to herself, did this happen in her previous life? If so, who saved Han Mei?
Shen Zhuo closed her eyes and thought carefully. In her memory, Mingshan Academy was very ordinary this year, and nothing special seemed to happen.
Suddenly, she remembered that Han Mei had been ill for a long time this year. Later, Aunt Su took Han Mei back to her old house in Suzhou to recuperate. Finally, she did not return until the next year when she was about to grow old. Kyoto.
Shen Zhuo opened his eyes with a "swish" sound, and his heart started to beat wildly.
No one saved Han Mei in the previous life, and Han Zhizhi's vicious assassination was successful!
At this time, Shen Zhuo also remembered that something happened in Kyoto at the end of this year that shocked the whole city. It was during the critical period in recent years that Guo Haotian and Xiao Su, the crown prince of Prince Zhao, fought over the oiran in Yingchun Tower. In the chaos, Guo Haotian was cut off from his descendants with a knife. From then on, he became inhumane and became half a eunuch.
Grand Master Guo knelt down in front of the Imperial Study Room. He cried and begged Emperor Zhengyuan to bring Xiao Su to justice. Xiao Su shouted that he was wronged, saying that he didn't have a sword on him that day and it was not his own hands.
Suddenly, there was an uproar inside and outside the court, and in the market. Many people secretly clapped their hands and applauded, it is really Guo Haotian who is too notorious.
In order to appease the Guo family, Xiao Su was beaten fifteen times with a cane and grounded for two months. From then on, the Guo family and the Zhao Palace became enemies, and Guo Haotian became even more brutal due to his physical disability. A few years later, he was stabbed to death.
Shen Zhuo vaguely remembered that when Guo Haotian and Xiao Su fought, it seemed that it was when Han Tao came back from the frontier?
She suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and a guess came into her mind, could this be the handiwork of her fourth brother?
There are five sons and five daughters in Shen Yuan's name, but one of them has a son and a daughter whose surname is not Shen but Han. It is the fourth young master Han Tao and the third young lady Han Mei. They are not Shen Yuan's flesh and blood, but the children of Shen Yuan's close friend Han Shiping.
The ancestors of the Han family also had high-ranking officials, but by Han Shiping's father's generation, the family had declined to the point where there were only two low-ranking officials from the fifth rank.
Han Shiping was a concubine and had not been favored by his mistress since he was a child. His father was extremely henpecked because he could only retain his fifth-rank official position by marrying the daughter of the Minister of Household Affairs. Therefore, Han Shiping's life was very difficult in the Han Mansion. Even a humble servant in the Han Mansion had a better life than him.
In a street fight, Han Shiping accidentally saved Shen Yuan's life, and the two became friends. In their subsequent interactions, they became very similar in temperament and became irreversible friends from then on.
With the support of Shen Yuan, Han Shiping successfully completed his studies and passed the Jinshi examination, becoming the only person in the Han family to obtain honors. The Han family wanted to rely on him to lift the lintel, and since then, his life in the Han family has become better.
Han Shiping was humble and sincere, willing to endure hardship and capable, and was deeply appreciated by his superior, the Minister of Industry. It's a pity that he died in the line of duty while dealing with floods in the south. He was only twenty-eight years old when he died, leaving behind a young wife and a pair of young children.
The minister of the Ministry of Industry was deeply saddened by the loss of his beloved general, so he expressed his gratitude to him. Emperor Zhengyuan also thought that his wife was newly widowed and her two young sons would have a difficult life, so he unusually increased the pension and rewards, and also promised that the Han family's children could make up for Han Shiping's shortcomings.
But none of these rewards reached the hands of his widow Suru.
Mistress Han not only usurped all of Han Shiping's pensions and rewards, and asked her legitimate son to fill Han Shiping's vacancy in the Ministry of Works, but also drove Suru out of the Han mansion.
Suru was imprisoned in a nunnery on a barren mountain, and was guarded by two stout slave women, who were told that she would be required to honor her late husband. But Han Shiping's two children stayed in the Han Mansion, without a father and a mother, and were reduced to a situation where everyone could bully them and they were hungry and full.
After Shen Yuan found out about this, in order to protect the blood of his best friend, he took the mother and son into the Shen Mansion despite the infamy, and took the widow as his concubine, giving them a place to stay.
Thinking of the past, Shen Zhuo couldn't help but sigh heavily. In his previous life, he lived a careless life. Apart from eating, drinking, and having fun, he didn't care about anything else. He and his best friends spent the whole day messing around with cats and dogs, looking for fun, and were not even aware that such a big thing happened to a sister at home.
Han Mei was one year older than Shen Zhuo. She had just turned three when she followed Suru into Shen's mansion. She, Shen Zhuo and Shen Yao are similar in age. The three of them have eaten, lived and played together since they were young, and they have a very close relationship.
At this time, Shen Zhuo couldn't help but feel a dull pain in his heart whenever he thought of the disaster that Han Mei had suffered in his previous life. Fortunately, the tragedy did not happen again in her new life. She suddenly felt that no matter how much teaching she received from her mother, it was worth it.
Shen Zhuo pursed his lips, and Guo Haotian didn't owe her a favor, he clearly owed her a life!
