MTL - Vicious Male Partner is a Girl-Chapter 44
Shen Fengzhang, who left early, didn't know that Shen Xiangpei finally broke through Shen Xiangyao and Wang Twelve Lang.
When she left the garden, the gentlemen and ladies in the garden happened to be reciting poems against each other. To her surprise, Shen Fengyu from the second room also participated in it.
Although she only heard the first half of the poem, Shen Fengzhang had to admit that her second cousin was quite talented and her poems were not bad.
That is, why does she feel that this half of the poem is a bit familiar, as if she has seen it somewhere before.
Shen Fengzhang led the people to Jingxingyuan, and when he saw the outline of Jiang Fuyuan on the way, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind.
Isn't Shen Fengyu's poem just now the one written by the hero in the original book? !
Liu Wenchang, who was following behind Shen Fengzhang, did not expect that the master would stop suddenly, and an unpredictable smile even appeared on his face.
"Master?" He said softly.
The sound of cicadas on the trees rises and falls, and the summer wind blows, not only does it not cool, but it makes people more stuffy.
"It's nothing." Shen Fengzhang shook his head and continued to walk forward, but he couldn't help being amazed and admired by Shen Xiangyao's actions. While she was thinking about hugging Shen Juan's thigh, she used Shen Juan's future poems to make her younger brother famous. Shen Xiangyao's behavior was really...shameless that made her marvel.
The smile on Shen Fengzhang's lips couldn't stop, Shen Juan would never have imagined that the third lady, who was careful to please him, would cheat him like this behind his back.
Thinking of Shen Jun's unintentional loss, Shen Fengzhang couldn't help but want to say to Shen Xiangyao in his heart - well done!
In fact, if there is a way, Shen Xiangyao does not want to copy Shen Jun's future poems.
But who will make Shen Juan the one who dominates the literary world for so many years to come? Only he is so talented that everyone will be convinced. His poems and essays, even enemies with different political views from him, have to praise him.
After being smashed by Shen Xiangpei, Shen Xiangyao, who returned to the garden by the small lake, heard her younger brother reciting poems and was praised by everyone, but she glanced at Shen Jun on the other side unobtrusively.
Seeing Shen Jun's calm expression, without the slightest confusion or strange look on his brows, Shen Xiangyao finally heaved a sigh of relief.
It's okay, it's okay, what she's giving brother now are poems that Shen Juan didn't write until several years later, the current Shen Juan must not have thought of these.
On the other side of the garden, Shen Jun was surrounded by Zhang Silang and others. Most of the people around Shen Juan were pure-tempered people who were devoted to literature and painting. Shen Fengyu's voice of reciting poems came to everyone's ears not far away, and everyone became quiet for a while, listening carefully.
After Shen Fengyu finished reading a five-character poem chanting Huaihua, the people around Shen Jun were silent for a while, watching Shen Jun forcefully smiled, "Ah Jun, your Shen family is really amazing."
The other person let out a long sigh, looked at Shen Fengyu over there, then turned his head and said to Shen Jun with a smile: "Ah Jun, are you and your cousin going to join hands to dominate the literary world?"
Even when he heard his new poems read out from other people's mouth, Shen Juan's face remained normal, he even smiled gently, and complimented Shen Fengyu a few words following the words of the crowd.
The manuscript of that poem was still pressed under the paperweight in his study, so he wondered how suddenly this poem was written by Shen Fengyu. Xie Yong's guards were able to stop Concubine Yin's assassination, but couldn't they stop an ordinary person?
While talking and laughing happily with his friends, Shen Juan chatted about interesting things about the article, while feeling Shen Xiangyao's self-conscious scrutiny, thinking of the congratulations when he was appointed as an official last time, he smiled coldly in his heart.
There are more and more strange things about Shen Xiangyao.
…
The fluttering sound of silk and bamboo music and dancing in the garden also spread to the Jingjiao courtyard.
Mrs. Zheng, who seemed much calmer, stood in the courtyard, listening to the music wafting from outside, as if talking to herself, and also said to Mrs. Zheng, "Today is Er Niang's birthday party."
"Yes, as soon as Erniang's birthday passed yesterday, she was seventeen, so it's time to visit her husband's house." Zheng Yu said softly from the side.
"Husband's family." Mrs. Zheng murmured, even though she knew that Mrs. Yu would not treat her only daughter badly, she was still a little unwilling. If she hadn't been imprisoned, she would have been able to hold Erniang's eyes in person to see if she could be a suitable husband-in-law.
The changing sound of silk and bamboo interrupts Zheng's imagination. She blinked and stared at the fence wall on the left side of the yard, as if she could see through the fence and into the garden. I don't know if Erniang has seen the birthday gift she ordered yesterday, and whether Erniang likes it or not.
Zheng's legs and feet are not good, and he doesn't like to stand on weekdays. However, at this moment, he stood by the fence in the courtyard from morning to afternoon, not refusing to miss any laughter or the sound of silk and bamboo in the garden, as if he could see Shen Xiangpei in this way.
As the sun set to the west, the sound of silk and bamboo in the garden had disappeared for a long time. Zheng knew that today's birthday banquet must have ended. She looked at the fence surrounded by vines, and was about to go back to the house when she heard footsteps.
The familiar footsteps made Zheng turn around suddenly. Sure enough, after a while, Erniang's face appeared beside the fence.
Zheng first saw Shen Xiangpei's reddish eye sockets and crystal eyes, and the next second was shocked to find that Shen Xiangpei looked much lighter than before after not seeing her for so long!
"Er Niang, what's going on?!" Mrs. Zheng threw herself on the fence with a nervous expression.
After Shen Xiangpei saw Shen Xiangyao and Wang Twelve Lang getting close, she endured it all afternoon. After the birthday banquet was over, she returned to her courtyard and saw the birthday gift from Aunt Zheng, she couldn't bear it any longer, and hurried to Jingjiao Courtyard with her people full of grievances.
She wanted to complain to Aunt Zheng. She used to come to Aunt Zheng when she was wronged, and Aunt Zheng would help her. However, seeing Zheng Shi blocked by the fence, Shen Xiangpei's heart of complaining was instantly extinguished by cold water.
Seeing the fine lines at the end of Zheng's eyes and her slightly thin face, she finally shook her head, "Auntie, it's all right. I just came to see you."
"Er Niang, Auntie knows that something has happened to you." Zheng's face turned serious, "Talk to Auntie, and Auntie will help you."
Shen Xiangpei forced a smile, and smiled at Zheng Shi, "Don't worry, Auntie, I'm really fine. It's just that I haven't seen Auntie for a long time, and I'm a little excited to see Auntie." Looking at Zheng's eyes full of tenderness, she couldn't help but say, "I Not long ago I persuaded the second brother, but the second brother did not agree to let you come out. But don’t worry, I will talk to the second brother again in a few days."
"Don't!" Zheng's expression changed when he heard this, "Don't!"
Shen Xiangpei was taken aback by Zheng's sudden sharp voice, and looked at Zheng in bewilderment when he came back to his senses.
Realizing that she had lost her composure, Zheng quickly adjusted her expression and returned to a gentle appearance. She looked at Shen Xiangpei, and said softly: "Er Niang, I was sorry for Ah Zhang for the previous matter. It is normal for her to be angry. You don't need to go to Erlang to intercede for me." The current Shen Fengzhang is not the previous Shen Fengzhang, she Now that he has the power in his hands, if he gets annoyed by Er Niang, he can easily deal with Er Niang.
Zheng originally wanted Shen Xiangpei to tell her what happened, but after hearing that Shen Xiangpei said he would intercede for her, he dared not keep her anymore.
After Shen Xiangpei left, the tenderness on Zheng's face disappeared instantly. She stood by the fence, staring at the empty path outside, recalling that Shen Xiangpei's eyes were red, his figure was thin, and his face was not very good-looking, and she was so distressed.
What happened to Yu Shi? ! What a beautiful little lady, she has become what she is now in just two months! Not to mention being wronged, even people have become so thin!
Holding back her anger, Mrs. Zheng gasped twice, turned to Mrs. Zheng, and asked Mrs. Zheng to find someone to find out what happened to Erniang!
Mrs. Zheng has been imprisoned for about two months. Recently, the servants in the courtyard are no longer as trembling as they were in the first few days. They are afraid of being found out by Shen Fengzhang and kicked out. Mrs. Zheng distributed a large amount of money, and finally got something. Several servants secretly helped her with errands.
After receiving the order, Mrs. Zheng turned around and hurried to find the servants who had been bribed. Zheng Shi stood in the courtyard, looking at the gradually darkening sky, with mixed feelings in her heart, a kind of anxiety lingering in her chest, which made her almost out of breath.
It wasn't until the sun went down completely, and Mrs. Zheng went back and forth, and whispered in her ear the news that the servants of Jingjiao Court had inquired about the people around Er Niangzi, that finally the depression in Zheng's chest finally came out slowly.
The leaves beside her were torn off by Zheng Shi and crushed into a ball in the palm of her hand, the blue juice dripped down her fingertips. Zheng Shi was extremely angry, but no anger could be seen on his face.
"Shen Xiangyao! Shen Xiangyao!" She murmured Shen Xiangyao's name in a low voice, her hoarse voice showing a bit deep and terrifying in the twilight. A mere little lady in the second bedroom dared to **** the husband that Erniang liked, and even dared to plot against her at Erniang's birthday banquet!
Although Zheng Yu just recounted what happened during the day. But Mrs. Zheng knew exactly what was going on as soon as she heard it! It can't be the Yu family and the old lady, nor can it be the current Shen Fengzhang. Only Shen Xiangyao, who is in the second bedroom, has this reason to plan Erniang to offend Wang Shisanniang!
Mrs. Zheng tossed the leaf that had been broken into a ball aside. She looked at Mrs. Zheng, her eyes sparkling with anger, "Sister, I must go out! If I don't go out, Er Niang will be bullied to death! This incompetent thing like Shi was a waste back then, but now that he is so old, he hasn't made any progress at all!"
Against the last smear of the bewitching purple sunset glow, Zheng's face was terrifyingly ferocious.
…
In Jingxing Courtyard, Shen Fengzhang looked at the kneeling servants of Jingjiao Courtyard, with a rather cold expression, "You said Mrs. Zheng wants to invite me to Jingjiao Courtyard?"
With his head buried, the kneeling servant felt the fall on his back, cold and emotionless, as if looking at a dead object, his heart trembled, regretting endlessly. Why is he so obsessed with money for a while, so he took on this errand.
However, even though his bowels were full of remorse, when he heard Shen Fengzhang's question, he still could only hold back his fear, and tried his best to answer in a steady voice: "Yes. Mrs. Zheng said that she has something to discuss with you, sir."
What can Zheng do? She withdrew her gaze from the servant, took a sip of the tea at the side, and said in a low voice, "Go back and tell Mrs. Zheng that she doesn't have to worry about anything, as long as she stays in the yard and takes care of herself."
"Yes, yes, yes!" The servant hurriedly got up from the ground, bowed cautiously and left. As soon as he got out of the courtyard, he hurriedly turned around and ran towards Jingjiao courtyard in the dark.
What a bad luck! It's all because of that old lady Zheng who spoke nicely, saying something about Mrs. Zheng, no, the Lord and Mrs. Zheng have a deep relationship. The Lord was only annoyed for a while before, and he will reconcile with Mrs. Zheng when he calms down. Pooh! He's going to tell Mrs. Zheng now, don't think about being released, the master doesn't even want to see Mrs. Zheng! It was really bad luck for eight lifetimes that he believed Mrs. Zheng's words.
In the Jingjiao Courtyard, Mrs. Zheng, who was standing behind the door, heard the servant telling Mrs. Zheng that Shen Fengzhang didn't want to see her, so she finally couldn't help but walked out from behind the door, with an inadvertent look of anxiety on her face, and asked the servant personally Said: "You told Xiao Langjun that what I want to say is related to Erniang and Xiao Langjun, but she refused to come?!"
Although the Zheng family has been completely defeated, it seems that there will be no chance of a comeback. But towards Mrs. Zheng, the servant still restrained his rude attitude a little. He pretended to be respectful, and reported to Mrs. Zheng, "Yes, the slave and the master mentioned that what Mrs. Zheng wanted to say was related to Erniang and the master, but the master still didn't care much, just let me tell you, the lady. Take care of yourself in the yard."
When he saw the Lord Lang and delivered the message for Mrs. Zheng, he already regretted it. How dare he add fuel to the flames and mention what Mrs. Zheng ordered. However, Mrs. Zheng couldn't get out anyway, and I don't know if he said anything or not.
It was precisely because Zheng was afraid that Shen Fengzhang would not want to see her that he asked the servant who sent the message to mention this matter. However, she did not expect that even so, Shen Fengzhang would not come!
Did Shen Fengzhang no longer take the tricks in her hands seriously? !
Mrs. Zheng is ruthless, if not for this, she would not have decisively got rid of those two midwives back then. When she saw that Shen Fengzhang didn't care about the tricks in her hands at all, and judged others by herself, she immediately thought whether Shen Fengzhang had new arrangements for her! Lock her up to death, or - Zheng's eyebrows showed a stern look - or get rid of her directly!
No, if Shen Fengzhang really intends to do this, she must take action before Shen Fengzhang!
In the current Shen family, Yin is flourishing and Yang is declining. There are only two and a half young gentlemen among the group of women in the house. They are friendly on the surface, but they have their own thoughts behind the scenes.
On the other side of the county mansion, in the courtyard of the second room, Shen Xiangyao played a fan while recalling Shen Xiangpei's unbelievable face during the day.
She couldn't help laughing out loud.
I really didn't expect that the arrogant, clean-eyed, and noble face in the previous life would show a look of collapse one day.
The fan in her hand wobbled intermittently, unable to bring in any cool breeze, but Shen Xiangyao felt comfortable and cool from the bottom of her heart. She squinted her eyes slightly, listening to the servant girl's description of the reaction of Wang Shisanniang and Shen Xiangpei when Shen Xiangpei brought up the musicians during the day, her cherry lips couldn't help but curl up.
She shook her head slightly. What a pity. At that time, she and Wang Twelve Lang were talking about Shenghuan, but she couldn't see the scene of Wang Shisanniang and Shen Xiangpei's collapse. With Wang Shisanniang's stinginess, she will never forgive Shen Xiangpei in this life.
The maid who beat Shen Xiangyao's legs continued to report softly: "The second lady took those musicians down on the spot and locked them up."
What's the use of locking it up? Shen Xiangyao leaned back slightly, leaning on the imperial concubine's couch, with a smug smile faintly visible. She did it very cleverly this time, no matter how hard Shen Xiangpei checked, she could only find out that it was a coincidence!
She just wants Shen Xiangpei to suffer from being dumb! Only in this way can the hatred in her heart from the previous life be eliminated little by little!
Thinking of the vastly different circumstances of the two in the previous life, the smile on Shen Xiangyao's face was unknowingly replaced by hatred.
Seeing this, the maid who was kneeling on the ground beating her legs lowered her head slightly, pretending not to see the strange expression of the third lady.
"Sister!"
The shouts outside the house interrupted Shen Xiangyao's memories. She looked at the younger brother who opened the door and walked in quickly, the expression on her face softened, and the haze in Xingxing's eyes disappeared, "Ayu, what's wrong?"
Shen Fengyu didn't notice the change in sister's expression at all. He is one year younger than Shen Xiangyao, and two years younger than Shen Fengzhang and others, but his usual behavior is several years behind them, and he is not as precocious as others at all.
In the past, although Shen Fengyu was the son of the second wife, she was always a little shy, timid, and didn't like to talk. She usually followed her mother obediently, or followed behind Shen Xiangyao. Recently, Shen Fengyu gradually became more confident and outgoing after taking advantage of Shen Xiangyao's poems to make him stand out a few times.
"Sister." Shen Fengyu looked at Shen Xiangyao with anticipation in his eyes, "Sister, you gave me—" He was interrupted by Shen Xiangyao before he finished speaking.
After waving away the servants in the room, Shen Xiangyao nodded to Shen Fengyu, "Say it. What did you want to say just now?"
Shen Fengyu looked at Shen Xiangyao eagerly, "Sister, I want to ask, do you still have the poem you gave me earlier?"
Shen Xiangyao's movement of fanning paused, she put down the fan, and asked Shen Fengyu back: "I gave you two days ago, and you used up all of them?" She only gave him four poems three days ago, and asked him to keep them for the birthday banquet Useful, it's only been a few days, and there is no capital left?
Shen Fengyu's eyes shifted to the side, avoiding Shen Xiangyao's sight, and explained in a low voice, "They all want to hear my poems. I have run out of them." After the birthday banquet, those people took him to the tea house outside . When they introduced themselves to the people in the teahouse, they said that he was a child prodigy, especially good at five-character poetry. Everyone in the teahouse smiled at him and asked him to compose a song on the spot. He used up both poems.
Shen Xiangyao stared at the younger brother who was showing a timid look again, and hated that iron could not be made into steel. However, it was such a cowardly A Yu who stood up against A Niang's marriage to the butcher in her previous life.
"Okay, isn't it just a few poems?" Shen Xiangyao pretended not to care. Sure enough, upon seeing this, Shen Fengyu breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Shen Xiangyao expectantly again. He was looking forward to Ai Ai, "Sister, can you have a few more dreams and dream a few more poems?"
Shen Xiangyao stayed on the bed, opened the hidden compartment next to the bed, and took out a few pieces of paper.
Shen Fengyu took the initiative to step forward, took the paper from Shen Xiangyao's hands in surprise, and found that it was exactly what he wanted, a smile spread across her face.
"I've given you something, don't use it so much—" Before Shen Xiangyao finished speaking, she saw Shen Fengyu hurried out after saying "Thank you, sister".
Looking at Shen Fengyu's leaving back, Shen Xiangyao felt a little headache. A Yu's youthful heart, can't bear it at all, and can't hide it. If this continues, the poems she originally prepared will not be used up in a long time. Moreover, Shen Fengzhang's promotion was too fast.
It seemed that she had to get Shen Fengzhang down as soon as possible so that Ayu could inherit the title.
…
Shen Fengzhang didn't know Shen Xiangyao's plan. Now she is focusing on investigating Fang Huaisheng's affairs.
As early as when she was determined to embark on this path, Shen Fengzhang knew that her reputation would never be much better. Therefore, Shen Fengzhang was not surprised at all when seeing his reputation worsening day by day, like domineering, arrogant, public revenge, treacherous ministers and even all kinds of dirty water made out of nothing, all poured on her. care.
However, among all kinds of out-of-the-box slanders, there is a rumor that spreads particularly well.
In the Mingguang Palace, the Supreme Being is going down to Shuanglu with Shen Fengzhang.
Today's Supreme looked at Shen Fengzhang, who was sitting across from him, and was concentrating on moving the chess piece. He carefully looked at every inch of her face, from the corners of her forehead, the tip of her eyebrows all the way to her chin. Just as she was about to continue to look down, she saw that Shen Fengzhang was just right. look up.
"Your Majesty, it's your turn." Shen Fengzhang smiled slightly at the present Supreme, and urged softly.
The current supreme being who loves Shuanglu did not rush to roll the dice, he looked at Shen Fengzhang, and said softly, "Why don't you ask Gu, why are you looking at you so much?"
With a calm expression, Shen Fengzhang threw the question back, "If Your Majesty wants to say it, he will naturally say it."
Faced with Shen Fengzhang's disrespectful attitude, the Supreme Being now laughed out loud. He put the dice in his hand aside, and enveloped Shen Fengzhang with gentle eyes, as if treating his favorite nephew, "Azhang, I know you don't care about fame, but I still need to clarify some rumors."
Shen Fengzhang didn't expect the Supreme Being to say such a thing, her body suddenly tensed up, like a drawn bow, and her hand on the table froze instantly. Since hearing some ridiculous and distorted rumors against her, she no longer ordered people to report these slanders. The Supreme One looked at her like this just now, could there be rumors doubting her gender?
Today's Supreme Master did not notice the extremely subtle changes in Shen Fengzhang. He went on self-consciously and said: "The previous dynasty caused great disasters because of Wushi powder, and where the current dynasty was established, the Taizu issued an iron order, prohibiting smoking and taking Wushi powder, and those who violated the order will be severely punished!" He looked at Shen Fengzhang, "Azhang, recently there were rumors that you were taking Wushisan. Gu Fang had carefully observed your complexion and knew that it was definitely a slander. But the rumors were spreading, and they were well-founded. Taizu Iron Order is related, you should find a way to clarify."
He already had no less than ten memorials impeaching Shen Fengzhang for taking Wushi San on his desk.
Shen Fengzhang's tense body relaxed again when the Supreme Being today mentioned the word "Wu Shi San". She raised her eyes, smiled calmly at the current Supreme, and said calmly, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, I will clarify the rumors as soon as possible, and restore my innocence."
Today Zhi Zongxin picked up the dice on the side, his face was full of confidence in Shen Fengzhang, "I know your ability."
Although in the palace, when facing the present Supreme Being, Shen Fengzhang looked calm and didn't seem to take the rumors to heart at all, but after walking out of the palace gate, the smile on her face instantly disappeared and her face sank.
"Liu Wenchang, go check it out, what's the matter with the rumor about me taking Wushi powder?" Since even the current Supreme One took the initiative to remind her, it must have spread to the whole city.
Hearing Shen Fengzhang's words, Liu Wenchang did not leave in response, but instead reported with a serious expression: "Mr. Lang, this subordinate is about to report this matter to you."
