Chapter 335: Brother 2 Keeps a Concubine
Chapter 335: Brother 2 Keeps a Concubine
The lady ate half a cup, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and asked with a smile: "Is our little girl not angry with grandma anymore?"
Shi Yao leaned on the lady and said with a smile: "How can a grudge between a grandfather and a grandson last overnight? I have long since stopped being angry. Grandpa and grandma have no other choice. They can't accuse my elder sister of deceiving the emperor and watch her die. My grandpa and grandma can't bear it, and neither can I."
The lady's eyes were filled with sadness. She hugged Shi Yao and said, "Your elder sister is ignorant. Fortunately, you are kind-hearted."
Children who are sensible always suffer more injustice.
Shi Yao smiled.
There are gains and losses.
She lost the opportunity to marry into a wealthy family, but A Niang got the opportunity to be free.
This time, she was the one who covered for Shi Mingzhu.
Next time, who will cover Shi Mingzhu's mischief?
While Shi Yao was chatting with the lady and telling her about the grand spectacle of the number one scholar's parade, she summoned the book of merit to check her merit points.
Xie Jibai has always been very efficient, and this time is no exception. The ten thousand taels of silver began to work.
Merit Book: [Merit Value: 518
Respawn Points: 2
Please choose the target of rebirth, it can be yourself or someone else. 】
Shi Yao curled her lips slightly.
It's time for Shi Mingzhu to be reborn for the second time.
However, before that, Sixth Sister-in-law should quickly escape from the Shi family.
She felt that there was something seriously wrong with Wang Fan and vaguely guessed something.
Sometimes, the most outrageous and bizarre guess may be the truth.
The human heart is unpredictable.
Reality is often more ridiculous than fiction.
The next day, Shi Yao came to Handan Courtyard and picked up the housekeeping course that she had dropped before and continued to study.
After finishing her chores, she went to find Le An Ning and asked, "Where is Sixth Sister-in-law? Why hasn't she returned home yet? I am about to get married, and the days of being together are getting shorter and shorter, but Sixth Sister-in-law doesn't miss me at all and stays at the ancestral temple and refuses to come back. I don't believe that those vegetable plots are more important than me."
Le An Ning was flipping through a cookbook, rubbing her hands in anticipation of learning the recipes above: "I am researching a drink, and when I make it I will give it to you first to try. It's not that Sister Fan is not going back home, it's that she doesn't dare to go back home.
"You, a child, should not ask about adult matters. If she comes back, there will be chaos in the mansion. Before you get married, you'd better not hope for her to come back."
Shi Yao reminded indirectly, "I know that my sisters-in-law are so sincere and want me to get married smoothly. I am afraid that the night will be long and dreams will arise. Sixth sister-in-law has planned something and has not hidden it from us. I am afraid that someone else will dream about her past life and disrupt her plan, such as the fourth sister-in-law, the third wife, the second wife, or someone else who knows the inside story.
I am now getting married by imperial decree. Unless our family commits a serious crime punishable by execution, this marriage is unbreakable. Second sister-in-law, please persuade Sixth sister-in-law to come back early and divorce as soon as possible. I can handle the rumors. "
Le An Ning put down the recipe and pinched Shi Yao's face: "We are satisfied knowing that the sisters-in-law treat you well. Okay, I will write a letter today to persuade her to come back."
Shi Yao took out a letter and said, "I have also written a letter. When sister-in-law delivers the letter, please remember to send mine as well."
Le An Ning had no choice but to stand up and call the maids to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone: "You, you can't wait a moment. Since it has come to this, I have to write a letter now."
She went to write a letter explaining the pros and cons, and Shi Yao picked up the cookbook she left behind and looked at it. Some of the recipes looked quite exquisite, but a little complicated.
After flipping through a few pages, she discovered that after each recipe, there were ingredients that counteracted each other, and these ingredients would appear in the following recipes.
Shi Yao was secretly shocked and asked, "Sister-in-law, where did you get this recipe? I also want to copy a copy and put it in my dowry to add some flavor to it. I will try to make it myself later. Just by looking at the description, I know it must be delicious."
Le An Ning took the time to look up and replied to her: "This was given to me by your fifth sister-in-law before she left. She told me not to show it to anyone else, but how could my second sister be someone else? If you are interested, just copy it down.
I have a lot of recipes like this in my dowry, but I won’t look through them even when I have free time.
Because it was left as a reminder by your fifth sister-in-law, I have been busy with your engagement these past two days. Although it seems lively, I feel empty inside when everyone leaves. I only take it out to look at it when I think of them, otherwise it would still be gathering dust at the bottom of the box."
What are you thinking about? This is to teach you how to kill your second brother quietly, right?
Shi Yao finally understood how her fifth sister-in-law remained a widow in the second life.
All the sisters-in-law look weak, but in fact they are all ruthless.
The third sister-in-law looked like she still had feelings for him, but what happened next? She stabbed the third brother three times.
Shi Mingzhen has been bedridden ever since. Not only has he lost his spirit to scheme against others, he is almost losing his popularity as a human being.
"Hey, sister-in-law, where is my second brother? I haven't seen him these past few days. I only saw him once on the day when the Xie family sent the marriage certificate. I haven't seen him before or after that."
Is second brother still there?
Le An Ning's face gradually became ugly. He quickly finished writing the letter. The last dozen words were written very sloppily, and were obviously filled with anger.
"Why mention that dead man?"
Shi Yao's heart skipped a beat. Second brother is dead?
She quickly came to her senses and realized that she had overreacted and her second sister-in-law was just cursing.
Le An Ning continued to sneer: "My eldest sister-in-law whispered to me the other day that the dead man has not returned home for several days, and asked me to check it out, so that our family members will not be trembling with fear, afraid of causing trouble and making the emperor unhappy. He is a grown man who is messing around outside and asking my second aunt to help clean up his mess.
Your second aunt is also unlucky. She has been exposed to the wind and sun at the border. The delicate beauty is almost tanned into an old eggplant. She finally returned to Beijing to enjoy a few days of happiness, but ended up cleaning up the butts of this unfilial descendant of the Man Mansion."
Although he said this, there was an obvious sense of gloating in Le Anning's tone.
Shi Yao: "...Ahem, sister-in-law, tell me about my second brother. What did my second brother do?"
Le An Ning snorted, "What for? He is not honest in the mansion. Now the old master is strict. If the masters and young masters make any trouble, they will be blamed. The old master will inevitably send people to scold them. Since he can't harm the maids in the mansion, he will go out to keep a mistress."
Shi Yao was surprised: "Keeping a concubine? Isn't he afraid that the old man will break his legs?"
My second sister-in-law behaved too calmly.
This means there is no hope for Shi Mingwei at all.
Le An Ning folded the letter, put it into an envelope, and handed it to the maid together with the letter from Shi Yao. She immediately sent someone to take it to the ancestral temple and hand it to Wang Fan.
After finishing all this, she sat down, picked up a snow-white feather fan and gently waved it, looking at the recipe with Shi Yao, and said casually:
"I don't care about him. I hope he dies a big death. The old master breaks his legs and throws him back to Nanjing to keep company with Old Eighth, or sends him to the family temple to keep company with my good mother-in-law. By the way, you also know the concubine he keeps as his 'darling'."
When talking about the words "darling", Le Anning's tone was not without irony.
Shi Yao suddenly remembered a scene she had seen when she visited the injured Shi Mingwei: Shi Mingwei was lying on the bed, biting the maid's shoulder with his mouth, blood was all over the place, he was laughing, and the maid was howling.
She shuddered and wondered how Shi Mingwei treated his mistress.
"I actually recognized him? Who is it?"
