MTL - Vicious Male Partner is a Girl-Chapter 33 house arrest
Zheng Shi still looked lost. She lowered her head, her temples were disheveled, and her cheeks were wet with sweat, showing a bit of embarrassment.
"I was wrong? Was I really wrong?" She murmured in a low voice.
Suddenly, she suddenly raised her head, her eyes swept over everyone in the courtyard, and finally rushed towards Zheng Yu. She grabbed Aunt Zheng's arm, her eyes were wide open, her expression was shocked, "Sister, I made a mistake, I really made a mistake."
"My lady!" Mrs. Zheng keenly noticed that there was something wrong with Mrs. Zheng's expression. But before she could say anything, Mrs. Zheng had let go of her arm, and ran to Lvzhu again.
Holding Luzhu's hand, Mrs. Zheng stared straight at Luzhu, and in a tone of surprise after discovering the secret, shared with Luzhu: "Luzhu, did you hear that? Erlang turned out to have great merit." people."
Lu Zhu was startled by Mrs. Zheng's overly focused eyes, she seemed to have swallowed something in her throat, and she became slightly hoarse, "My lady, you—"
"Great merit, great merit." Zheng suddenly let go of the green bead again and turned to the center of the courtyard. She held her hands up high, turned her face up, and laughed loudly while turning around, "Erlang has great merit. Erlang has great merit. I actually doubt my child."
Shen Xiangpei looked horrified, and looked at Zheng in disbelief, "Auntie, is she crazy?"
Mrs. Zheng rushed up immediately, hugged Mrs. Zheng, and yelled loudly, "My lady, what's wrong with you?! My lady?! Go get a doctor!"
Shen Fengzhang narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Mrs. Zheng. Really crazy?
not like. If Mrs. Zheng is so easy to go crazy, how could she help the original owner hide her true identity for more than ten years?
That is pretending to be crazy?
In order to avoid their own investigation?
She smiled coldly in her heart, no matter whether it was true madness or fake madness, Mrs. Zheng couldn't escape the guilt this time.
"Lian Shan, go ask Doctor Fang to come over." Shen Fengzhang ordered to the attendants behind him. The attendant named Lian Shan replied yes, turned around and ran outside.
In the yard, Shen Fengzhang looked at Mrs. Zheng, who was leaning against Mrs. Zheng's arms, smiling and crying for a while, and said, "My aunt must have been hit too hard, so she lost her mind for a while. If so, my aunt has been silent for a while. Take good care of your body in Jiaoyuan, don't step out of Jingjiaoyuan!"
"Come here, take Aunt Zheng back to the Jingjiao courtyard and take a good look at it."
Several maidservants stepped forward, grabbed Aunt Zheng and Aunt Zheng, and dragged them to the backyard.
"Second brother!" Shen Xiangpei looked at the indifferent Shen Fengzhang in disbelief, "Are you going to put Auntie under house arrest?!"
Shen Fengzhang looked away from Zheng who was muttering to himself, and turned to Shen Xiangpei. She bent her lips and smiled at Shen Xiangpei, with a gentle smile, like a good-tempered and tolerant elder brother, "Why do you call it house arrest?"
She looked at Shen Xiangpei, who was frowning and disapproving, with a smile in her voice, and slowly said the next words, "I'm doing this for my aunt's sake, since I'm sick, of course I have to stay in the hospital to recuperate. "
quibble! How is this different from house arrest! Shen Xiangpei was irritated by the attitude of the second brother. Thinking of the little things that Mrs. Zheng loved her in the past, she couldn't help but said: "Even if my aunt made a mistake today, my aunt will take good care of you, teach you with all her heart, and take good care of you. Second brother is my aunt's own son, how can I treat my aunt like this!"
Take good care of, teach with all your heart, and take care of you? Shen Fengzhang looked at Shen Xiangpei, and a playful look flashed in his dark eyes. It turned out that Zheng Shi treated Shen Xiangpei like this, so it's no wonder that Shen Xiangpei would speak for her at this time.
Shen Fengzhang didn't explain anything, and only said in a low voice to Shen Xiangpei: "Er Niang, if you feel that I have handled it inappropriately, you can go to grandma. However, I believe grandma will definitely agree with me."
Just now when the ceremony was over, when Mrs. Zheng jumped out and was dying, she saw Mrs. Shen's face almost turned green. Obviously, Mrs. Shen would be happy if Mrs. Zheng could keep her own life for a while now.
Ignoring Shen Xiangpei, who was biting his lip with an unhappy expression on his face, Shen Fengzhang led people to follow Zheng and the others.
…
"Miss lost her mind for a while, the old man prescribed some medicine, drink it and rest for a while, then she will get better gradually." Dr. Fang came out from the back room and said to Shen Fengzhang who was guarding outside.
Shen Fengzhang nodded indifferently.
After leaving the prescription, Dr. Fang left with the medicine boy. Seeing this, Shen Fengzhang planned to leave.
"Xiao Lang-jun, stay a step!" Mrs. Zheng walked out quickly from the inner room and stopped Shen Fengzhang.
Aunt Zheng lowered her eyes, her face was no longer the kind and amiable look on her face, but she was actually aloof, "My lady is awake, please come in."
Shen Fengzhang walked towards the inner room, Liu Wenchang followed behind her, and was about to go in, but was stopped by Zheng Yu.
"Master?"
"My lady only invites Mr. Xiao Lang in." Zheng Yu insisted in her voice.
Shen Fengzhang nodded to Liu Wenchang, "It's nothing. Go outside and wait."
Stepping into the inner room from the lobby, the light in front of Shen Fengzhang's eyes suddenly dimmed.
The interior room, which used to be restrained and full of luxury, is now shrouded in darkness, and the thick silk cloth covers the windows, blocking all light. All kinds of rare treasures on the Duobao Pavilion lost their brilliance in the dark.
There was no light in the room, so Shen Fengzhang blinked a few times before he got used to the dim environment and saw the figure sitting at the table clearly.
Zheng's cold voice resounded in the boundless darkness, like a snake swimming through the wet moss in the corner of the wall after the rain.
"I know you're not Shen Fengzhang."
Shen Fengzhang stared at the blurry black figure, with a smile on his lips, and said the truth frankly, "No, I am Shen Fengzhang."
Zheng sneered, apparently not believing Shen Fengzhang's words, she looked at Shen Fengzhang standing at the door, her voice was a bit threatening, "Don't forget, everything you have now is based on the fact that you are Shen Jiaerlang Come on! As long as I publicize the secret that you are a daughter, do you think you can still have the glory you have now?!"
This is the trump card in Zheng's hands. She doesn't know what method this demon used to deceive the three masters, but she believes that Shen Fengzhang must not be able to solve the gender issue. However, to her disappointment, after hearing her threat, Shen Fengzhang remained silent, without any worry or fear.
"Don't think I'm joking." She paused, and said coldly, "I'm old, and I've enjoyed enough wealth and glory in the first half of my life, but when the incident happened, my situation is not much worse than it is now. On the contrary, it's you, this series of things Your actions and ambitions are completely exposed, if you expose your daughter, I am afraid that everything you want will be in vain!"
Shen Fengzhang looked at Zheng Shi, feeling silently. All these years of glory and wealth have probably completely fascinated her mind. Up to now, she still can't see the situation clearly.
Since she dared to put Zheng under house arrest, she must have been prepared.
In fact, if Mrs. Zheng didn't find trouble on her own this time and stayed quietly, she wouldn't bother to talk to her at all. This time she took the initiative to jump out and make trouble, but instead reminded herself that there was still such a disaster.
Mrs. Zheng should be grateful to her for wanting to become an official and was afraid of Ding You, so she saved her life and made her willing to use milder means to deal with her.
As time passed, the incense lit in the room grew stronger. Wisps of familiar fragrance lingered on the tip of Zheng's nose. Looking at the silent Shen Fengzhang, the corners of her mouth gradually curled up, and her heart became more and more calm.
She wants to see what Shen Fengzhang can do.
In the deep and silent darkness, a sigh sounded slowly.
The sudden sigh was like drizzle, slowly falling on Zheng's bare skin, making her hairs stand on end in an instant, and she felt an inexplicable sense of creepiness.
Shen Fengzhang's voice was full of helplessness, as if he was compromising, but the content of his words was like a sharp knife, which ruthlessly pierced Zheng's flesh and blood, making her drenched with blood.
"If you reveal my identity, then I can only reveal Erniang's identity."
Although she has no real and strong evidence to prove that Shen Xiangpei is Zheng's child, it does not prevent her from defrauding Zheng.
Zheng's expression changed suddenly, and he blurted out a single word. But she immediately realized and changed her words forcefully, "No—I don't know what it means!"
"Besides the wife's own daughter, what other identity does Erniang have! Your nonsense must be convincing!"
Shen Fengzhang blinked, the darkness covered her satisfied smile, her voice was still faint and slow, as if being forced to the extreme.
"My aunt and I have a different opinion. Over the years, my aunt has taken good care of Erniang, carefully guided her, and cared for her." She counted the care of Shen Xiangpei by the Zheng family in her memory, and finally sighed, "It stands to reason, As my aunt's only child and the heir of the mansion, my aunt will depend on my son for the rest of her life, and my aunt should care about her most. There is only one reason for my aunt's abnormalities these years."
Even in such a dim light, Shen Fengzhang could see clearly that the black shadow not far away began to shake, like the shadow of a candle reflected on the wall, trembling slightly by the wind.
"The reason is that Erniang is my aunt's biological heir!"
"Nonsense!" Mrs. Zheng didn't know how Shen Fengzhang guessed something. Zheng Shi, who was so angry about being exorcised not long ago, felt his heart beating faster again at this moment, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
Luckily she didn't light the lamp.
At this moment, darkness has become the best protective color.
In the dark, Zheng narrated the events of the year in a tone of emotion and helplessness similar to Shen Fengzhang.
"The truth of the matter is like this. You guessed right, you are indeed not my own. After I gave birth to a dead baby, Mrs. Zheng brought you back from the outside to replace that child. I love Er Niang, isn't it Because she is my child, but because she is Lang Jun's daughter, when I see her, I feel like seeing that poor child."
"I see." In the darkness, Shen Fengzhang's voice was gentle, but his face was expressionless. She chuckled lightly, like a sigh of relief, but also like a slight threat, "Fortunately, Erniang is not your child. Erniang is arrogant and arrogant. If she knows that she is actually just a concubine, she must not accept it. The family she has been friends with on weekdays Noble daughter, I don't know if she is dealing with a concubine who has been pretending to be a pro-daughter for many years."
Zheng's lips trembled, his jaw was tense, his long nails dug into his flesh hard, the pain pierced his bones, but it still couldn't overcome the anger and hatred in his heart. She knew that after this evil spirit took over Erlang's body, the situation would definitely be unfavorable to her!
…
Stepping out of the house, Shen Fengzhang looked around at the servants guarding the courtyard, and ordered in a cold voice, "My aunt is sick, watch her recuperating in the courtyard carefully, and you are not allowed to go anywhere without my permission. Anyone who dares to let my aunt out The yard, or going out to do errands for my aunt, don't blame me for being merciless!"
In the past, relying on the support of the Zheng family, the servants of Jingjiao Court who were contemptuous of Shen Fengzhang, all of them restrained their faces and solemn voices at this moment, and they all agreed.
She paused, then softened her voice, "Of course, if anyone finds out that someone is running errands for my aunt, he can report it to me, and I will reward you a lot."
Hearing that there are rewards for reporting, the servants' eyes lit up suddenly, and their voices became louder, "Yes!"
In the room, Zheng didn't know that Shen Fengzhang had completely cut off her escape route. She was holding on to Mrs. Zheng's arm tightly, her long nails were digging into Mrs. Zheng's flesh, and she screamed in a shrill voice that almost pinched her throat, "She's suspicious! Sister, immediately send someone to find the two remaining midwives from that year." !"
However, even if Mrs. Zheng offered a large bounty to bribe the servants guarding the yard, no one dared to contact the outside world for her. These servants are all people who step on the high and flatter the low, knowing that the Duke of Xiaojun has become the real master of the mansion, and there are so many companions staring at him, how dare they help the Zheng family anymore.
Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi. The Zheng family, who was once majestic and in charge of the power in Shen's mansion, was completely defeated, his arms were cut off, and he was placed under house arrest.
Walking out of Jingjiao Courtyard, although Shen Fengzhang's expression returned to his expressionless indifference, his mood was much better than when he was in Jingjiao Courtyard.
She didn't believe a word of the story Zheng told.
In fact, Zheng's heart is also very high. In the memory of the original owner, she has always felt that she has a better reputation and ability than the Yu family, but because of her concubine background, she can only marry Shen Yi as a concubine. Can she love Yu's daughter without reservation?
Furthermore, if the original owner was really carried by Mrs. Zheng from outside, why didn't Mrs. Zheng let her bring back a baby boy instead of a baby girl, taking the greater risk of letting her disguise herself as a man?
Mrs. Zheng was probably driven by what she said just now, and temporarily fabricated a truth, but she didn't expect that the time was too short and full of loopholes.
Fortunately, for Shen Xiangpei's sake, Zheng absolutely dare not make a fuss about her true gender during this time, and may even help her conceal her identity.
In this way, the goal of making Mrs. Zheng shut up and not make trouble is achieved.
However, when he walked to the gazebo in the back garden, the first thing Shen Fengzhang did was to order Liu Wenchang to send someone to keep an eye on Mrs. Zheng during this time. If Mrs. Zheng finds out that she doesn't have any evidence, she might jump out first and bite to death the original owner, who was an abandoned baby she brought back from outside. There will be a complete mess, sacrificing herself and the original owner, and taking Shen Xiangpei out safely.
Liu Wenchang responded and assured: "Lord, don't worry, this subordinate will issue an order to let others hurry up and bring those two midwives back." Although he didn't know what the boss and Mrs. Zheng talked about in the room, but he kept talking Helping the owner to investigate this matter, he naturally knew that Mrs. Zheng might have tampered with the owner's life experience and exchanged the owner and the second lady.
After a farce, before one knew it, golden crows had fallen to the west, and the setting sun was like blood, spreading on the railing of the gazebo, shining a strange red light.
Shen Fengzhang stood in the gazebo, with his hands behind his back, staring at the calm lake outside the gazebo, and cast a thunderbolt.
"Tell me, what if I'm really not the heir of the Shen family?"
Behind Shen Fengzhang, Liu Wenchang's complexion changed drastically, and he knelt down suddenly, "It's absolutely impossible!" When the old Duke was still alive, he especially loved the little man. If the little man was really not the heir of the Shen family, how could the old man love the little man so much? !
Shen Fengzhang turned around, stared down at Liu Wenchang, with a calm expression, and said slowly: "There are no absolutes. If the midwife is found, the midwife proves that Mrs. Zheng did give birth to a dead baby back then, and I am indeed not the heir of the Shen family. Then what should I do?" ?”
She looked at Liu Wenchang carefully, not letting go of any expression on his face. Seeing the horror and struggle on Liu Wenchang's face, Shen Fengzhang waited quietly.
Liu Wenchang's answer determines whether she can regard Liu Wenchang as a confidant.
As time passed by, Liu Wenchang knelt on the ground and clenched his teeth, without saying a word.
Although this result was within Shen Fengzhang's expectations, she was still slightly disappointed. Blinking his eyes and letting out a breath, Shen Fengzhang decided to end the question, but at this moment, he heard Liu Wenchang's voice that seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.
"Then the subordinate killed the two midwives."
The turns of the road are turning, the willows are dark and the flowers are bright, even Shen Fengzhang can't help showing a bit of satisfaction on his face. She quickly walked up to Liu Wenchang, helped him up with her own hands, her expression was beaming with joy, and she was even slightly moved, "I am so happy to have such a word from you!"
"Don't worry, what I just said is just the worst case. In fact, I have been with my father and grandfather for many years. Both father and grandfather are people with sharp eyesight. If I am really not a son of the Shen family, Presumably Father and the others have already seen it!"
Liu Wenchang breathed a sigh of relief, it would be great if the master could be the descendant of the old Duke. If it really wasn't - he clenched his fists, and his determination just now became more and more firm - as a last resort, he would definitely get rid of the two midwives, and even Mrs. Zheng, for the Duke of Xiaojun!
Taking the followers who were left not far from the gazebo, Shen Fengzhang walked towards Jingxingyuan.
Having achieved two goals in a row today, Shen Fengzhang was in a great mood, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised. However, within a few steps, the smile on her face disappeared without a trace when she saw the person walking towards her.
"A Zhang!"
Hearing Shen Jun's shout, Shen Fengzhang frowned.
Hell, she actually heard a bit of surprise in Shen Jun's voice. Seeing the tall and thin young man walking towards her quickly, Shen Fengzhang clicked his tongue impatiently, and looked away in annoyance.
"Get out of here!"
Shen Jun, with a look of surprise on his face, suddenly stopped five steps away from Shen Fengzhang. On the boy's handsome face, which gradually grew angular, the look of surprise disappeared in an instant, and it returned to the calmness of the past.
He lowered his eyes habitually, but he remembered something, and raised his eyes to look at Shen Fengzhang. His eyes were as bright as the sky in the early morning light. Even though he restrained himself, his eyes still showed a little worry, gratitude and concern.
The volume of Shen Jun's voice was still the same as before, low, but no longer deliberately suppressed to be cold and numb, the voice was as clear and clear as gold and stone colliding in the gentle evening wind, and the waves crashed against the shore, which was pleasant to the ear.
"Azhang, how is your injury? I want to see you these two days, but the attendants at the Jingxingyuan said that you are resting." Staring at Shen Fengzhang, Shen Jun's voice was full of gentleness. He would go to Jingxingyuan these few mornings before going out, but he never saw Shen Fengzhang. He never expected to run into her by such a coincidence when he returned home today.
Shen Fengzhang sneered, "That's because I specifically ordered the servants not to let you in."
Shen Juan frowned slightly, and then instantly relaxed. He didn't seem to have heard Shen Fengzhang's disgusting and hurtful words, and there was warmth in his eyes, "Before in the Xuanwu field, if you hadn't blocked this arrow for me, I would have been injured. I—"
Shen Fengzhang unceremoniously interrupted Shen Juan's words of gratitude before he finished speaking.
Shen Fengzhang stared at Shen Jun, swept his eyes carefully up and down, and finally retracted his eyes in disdain, raised his eyebrows contemptuously, and pulled a mocking smile from the corner of his lips, "It's so ugly! It's too much for you to be sentimental!" It’s also rare for this sake!”
"Blocking arrows for you? What are you daydreaming about!"
The gentleness in Shen Juan's eyes slowly dissipated, he lowered his eyes and remained silent.
"I was implicated by you, a broom star! When I met you, both horses had problems." Shen Fengzhang's face showed a bit of anger, "If I didn't trip over a tree vine on the ground, how could I have been hit by this horse?" Arrow!"
Shen Fengzhang glared at Shen Jun fiercely with his black phoenix eyes, "Stay away from me!" After she finished speaking, she led people towards Jing Xing Yuan.
When she walked past Shen Juan, she glanced at him with disgust, and said two words, "Bad luck!"
Li Miao, who was standing beside Shen Juan, clenched his fists and was furious, "Mr. Lang, I said that Mr. Xiao Lang definitely didn't intend to save you! As expected!"
There was a wry smile on Shen Juan's face, he shook his head lightly, and said in a low voice: "Even if it was just a coincidence, Ah Zhang saved me." What's more, he knew clearly that Shen Fengzhang saved him on purpose!
"Lang Jun!" Li Miao looked at Shen Juan's appearance, and felt a little bit of hatred for the lack of iron. Mr. Lang is such a kind person that at such a critical moment as the upcoming Baiwenlou Wenhui, he never forgot to be distracted and caring about Mr. Xiaolang!
"Langjun, listen to what Xiaolangjun said just now. Can the horse accident be blamed on you, Langjun? There are trees and vines on the ground, and Xiaolangjun didn't see clearly that he was tripped, so what does it have to do with you! However, Mr. Xiao Lang is all angry on you, don't you think Mr. Xiao Lang is making trouble for no reason?!"
"Forget it." Shen Juan comforted Li Miao in a gentle voice, "Azhang is just young and has a bit of a naughty temper. Her nature is not bad." She said these words today, but deliberately concealed her real purpose of saving people that day, to cover up It's just her true feelings, but it's a pity - Shen Juan sneered in his heart - it's a pity that he has already seen it clearly.
Where did you see that Mr. Xiao Lang's nature is not bad? ! Li Miao almost blurted out these words.
Anyway, in the eyes of Mr. Lang, everyone is not bad by nature, and everyone has advantages and disadvantages. Sometimes he really hopes that Mr. Lang will not be so pure, kind and honest, and be a little more selfish and despicable like Mr. Xiao. With Lang Jun's temperament, he is really afraid that Lang Jun will suffer a lot in the future!
Looking at Shen Jun with a gentle smile on his face, Li Miao knew that his wish would not come true. Forget it, Li Miao shook his head, at worst he could help Lang Jun watch more. They like Da Langjun so much, isn't it because Da Langjun is pure and kind.
On the other side, Shen Fengzhang walked for a while with anger on his face, and then his expression gradually calmed down. She suddenly remembered something, and asked Liu Wenchang beside her, "What has Shen Jun been doing these two days?"
"Mr. Dalang leaves early and returns late these days, and stays in Baiwenlou during the day. This year's Baiwenlou Wenhui will be tomorrow."
Baiwenlou Wenhui. Shen Fengzhang remembered that in the original book, the hero got the opportunity to participate in this literary meeting, and won the first prize at the literary meeting. Since then, he has stepped into the officialdom, and by virtue of his superb means, he has risen steadily, and within six years, he has been invited from the last rank to the officialdom. He leaned into the court and finally ascended to the throne.
It turned out that it was because he was about to become an official. No wonder Shen Juan looked extra restrained today... Shen Fengzhang hesitated for a moment, and still used the eight words "Xiao Xiao Su Su, hearty and clear".
Since tomorrow is the extremely important Baiwenlou Wenhui in the original book, Shen Fengzhang pondered for a moment, and said to Liu Wenchang: "Get ready, I'm going out tomorrow."
