Poor Family

"What, on the first day of the Chinese New Year, I will also go to the Hall of Supreme Harmony with you to attend the court celebration?"

On the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, after Chu Yao came back from the palace, he notified Shi Fuxin that he was going to attend the pilgrimage on the first day of the new year.

Shi Fuxin was very surprised: "What's going on?"

Chu Yao's complexion was not very good: "When I went to court today, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials suddenly suggested that the top ten imperial merchants donated so much silver to the court, and they should participate in the pilgrimage to celebrate."

Saying that, looking at Shi Fuxin, "The servant of the official department belongs to the prince."

Shi Fuxin: "Are all the top ten imperial merchants participating?"

Chu Yao said 'hmm': "The prince never does useless things, he must have other calculations here. Since the battle between me and Dongjian, the hostility between us and the prince has been put on the table. "

"The Empress Dowager's affairs have too much to do with it. No matter whether I have found anything or not, for the prince, he can only feel at ease if I shut up completely. I am afraid that he will take a risk and do something crazy."

"So, you must be careful that day."

Shi Fuxin nodded: "Don't worry, I will be careful."

Time flies to the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month. According to the custom, on this day, every family has to go to the grave to ask the ancestors to make a big offering.

Early in the morning, the masters of Prince Rong's mansion, led by the old prince Rong and the old princess Rong, got into the carriage and went to the clan's mansion.

When going out, Shi Fuxin saw Princess Guan taking Guan Xiuyan with her, a coolness flashed across her eyes, and she saw the mocking expressions of Luo Qilan and Tang Shan, and got into the carriage expressionlessly.

Chu Yao's behavior towards Princess Guan was both annoyed and a headache.

He knew that Concubine Mu had always wanted an obedient daughter-in-law, but Shi Liu's temperament was exactly the opposite of her request; and for Shi Liu, Concubine Mu was not someone who could make her respect her elders.

Shi Liu has a strong temper, mother and concubine are not opponents, but she occupies the identity of a mother-in-law, even if she can't control Shi Liu on the surface, she can find various opportunities and methods to embarrass Shi Liu secretly, and Cousin Guan is the most suitable Candidates.

"Third brother, the relationship between the princess and the third sibling is so alienated, you don't even talk about trying to persuade them to make peace."

Chu Zhao gloated at Chu Yao.

Chu Yao squinted at him: "Second brother is getting more and more promising now, even getting involved in women's affairs, oh, I forgot, besides women's affairs, second brother seems to have nothing else to do gone."

After speaking, he smiled ironically and rode away.

Chu Zhao was hit by Chu Yao's words, and looked at Chu Yao's back with a dark expression.

Chu Yao rode at the front of the Wangfu team, and his complexion was not good.

Doesn't he want to reconcile the relationship between Concubine Mu and Shiliu?

Of course he would.

But, he can't do it! ! !

Whether it's the concubine mother or Shi Liu, they care far less about him than they care about themselves.

For the mother and concubine, the most important thing is to choose the daughter-in-law and show the mother-in-law's profile. As for his son's happiness or not, it is not her consideration;

For Shi Liu, it was impossible to bow to her mother-in-law who made trouble for no reason and wanted to suppress her everywhere. His feelings as a husband had to come after hers.

Concubine Mu and Shi Liu, even if one of them really cared about themselves, they would compromise a little bit for him, but neither of them did.

Chu Yao sneered, a little weakly and sadly.

One was his mother and the other was his wife. The two most important women to him didn't really care about him.

In the carriage at the back, An Ran complained to Shi Fuxin in a low voice: "What is the princess doing, bringing a concubine with her, isn't this your Madam's face?"

Shi Fuxin sneered: "With such a mother, Chu Yao is quite pitiful."

Mother Leng hesitated to speak, she moved her lips and finally swallowed the words in her mouth.

When Shi Fuxin saw it, she smiled and said, "If you have something to say, you can say it."

Mother Leng: "If madam can follow the concubine a little bit, the third master will be very happy."

Shi Fuxin immediately said: "I've already followed the princess's lead. Every time I pay my respects, she always finds it hard to find her. Didn't I not bother with her?"

Mother Leng thought about it for a while and said: "On an occasion like today, if you compete with the princess, the third master will be very embarrassed."

Shi Fuxin snorted and said, "Then what do you want me to do? It's the concubine who is looking for trouble, not me! I can't force her to do or not to do something."

Mother Leng looked at Shi Fuxin who was furious, and said again: "Privately, Madam has done a good job of caring and understanding for Third Master; but Madam can't ignore her support for San Ye when she was away."

"The third master is a man, he should be very concerned about what people think."

After hearing this, Shi Fuxin said irritably: "I still overestimate myself. Before I married Chu Yao, I thought I could handle the relationship with everyone in the palace. After I got married, I realized that it was not so easy to do."

Although she had to pay for her own choice, Shi Fuxin couldn't help but complained, "How can I have such a mother-in-law, it's so annoying."

Nanny Leng and An Ran looked at each other, and they both smiled silently.

After arriving at the clan's mansion, Shi Fuxin followed the steps of the family members of Prince Rong's mansion, doing whatever she was asked to do.

After asking the ancestors to offer sacrifices, the men will get together to talk, and the female relatives will also sit together and talk about family affairs.

Shi Fuxin didn't like such occasions very much, so she wandered around the yard alone.

Among the clan's female relatives, Shi Fuxin was familiar with Xiahou Huanyan, but today Xiahou Huanyan was detained by Princess Gong and greeted the elders one by one, so Shi Fuxin could only go shopping alone.

After shopping for less than a quarter of an hour, Guan Xiuyan found her.

"Cousin-in-law, my concubine asked me to call you over, saying that I want to take you to meet someone."

Shi Fuxin looked at Guan Xiuyan in surprise: "Why did Concubine Mu ask you to come and find me?"

Guan Xiuyan: "I'm free and fine."

Shi Fuxin gave an 'um' and asked Guan Xiuyan to lead the way.

"Why don't you go back to the main hall?"

Seeing Guan Xiuyan leading her towards the backyard of the clan mansion, Shi Fuxin asked.

Guan Xiuyan: "Sister-in-law said that some old concubines are going to rest in the guest courtyard at the back, so let us go there to find them."

Shi Fuxin looked at Guan Xiuyan, and seeing that her expression was the same, she turned her eyes and looked around: "Didn't my concubine ask you to call me? Why is there something about my sister-in-law?"

Guan Xiuyan was stunned for a moment: "When I came to look for you, I happened to meet my sister-in-law, and then my sister-in-law told me that my concubine went to the backyard with the old concubine and the others."

Soon, the two came to an empty courtyard.

"Hey, why is there no one?"

Guan Xiuyan, who was puzzled by Shi Fuxin, didn't see anything strange on her face.

"Sister-in-law obviously told me about this place."

Seeing Shi Fuxin looking at her, Guan Xiuyan thought she felt that she was lying to her, so she quickly said: "Maybe I misheard, why don't you wait here for me, sister-in-law, and I'll go find my sister-in-law."

Shi Fuxin looked at Guan Xiuyan, nodded with a smile: "Okay." Then, she looked at An Ran and Nanny Leng, "You two follow Aunt Guan and bring me some refreshments, I'm hungry."

Nurse Leng wanted to tell An Ran to go and stay with her, but when she saw Shi Fuxin's eyes looking over her, she immediately stopped talking, and followed Guan Xiuyan away with her head down and worried.

As soon as they left, Shi Fuxin stepped directly into the room.

As soon as he entered the door, he held his breath. After a few breaths, his whole body limply fell to the ground.

Then, several masked men in black appeared in the room.

The leading man in black looked at Shi Fuxin who fell unconscious on the ground, his brows were knotted.

The task this time seems to be too easy, and Shi Fuxin just dismissed the mother-in-law and maids around her, which seemed to be intentional.

Did she discover them earlier?

"Palace Master?"

Seeing Dong Jian standing still, the other men in black were a little puzzled.

"唰~"

Dong Jian suddenly drew out his saber and stabbed straight at the one on the ground.

"呵~"

Shi Fuxin was wearing a purple skirt, and the purple sleeves on her arms were instantly dyed red.

Dong Jian looked at the unconscious Shi Fuxin without blinking, and saw that her brows were frowned, and there was a painful expression on her face, but her eyes were still closed.

People who have passed out of a coma can still feel the pain. If Shi Fuxin was pretending, she would definitely control her facial expressions.

However, Dong Jian was still not at ease, the sword in his hand rested on Shi Fuxin's body, moved to the position of her heart little by little, and then slowly stabbed in.

Seeing Shi Fuxin's expression of pain, the blood on his chest was seeping more and more, and if he continued stabbing, his heart would be hurt, but he still looked unconscious, so Dong Jian withdrew his hand.

It seems that the ability of the master of Shennong Hall has been exaggerated!
