The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 309 Don’t put the cart before the horse

The old Duke was not in the mood to pay attention to this cold joke, and said tiredly: "At the beginning, I asked you to pamper Zhuzhu because I wanted to unite you and twist the scattered Shi family into a rope. As a result, Zhuzhu developed a self-centered personality and had no scruples. She designed to frame Yao girl, just wanting her to be the only one in this mansion.

Your hearts have become crooked. You only have Zhuzhu in your eyes. Where is the Shi family? I let you brothers and sisters eat together in the ancestral hall to cultivate the brother-sister relationship between you and Yao girl. What did you do? You bullied her everywhere and isolated her.

She is a girl and will get married in the future. It doesn't matter if you feel disappointed about her. You can just give her more dowry and send her off.

However, Zhuzhu came to interfere again. She couldn't bear to see her doing well, so she talked nonsense in front of the emperor and wanted to marry her to a merchant!

Don't put the cart before the horse. Whether it's you, Zhuzhu, Yao girl, or your brothers, you should all put the family first, not a certain person! The Shi family is the foundation of your life!

Tell these words to your brothers. I am too lazy to see them. If I see one of them, I will get angry. Sooner or later, I will be pissed off to death by you."

Shi Mingkui's three views were almost overturned.

It turns out that he dotes on Zhuzhu not because she is the only legitimate daughter in the family, but in order to consolidate the unity of the Shi family.

He looked up blankly, as if he was walking along a path where suddenly a thick fog rose and he could not see clearly where he was coming from or where he was going.

"Grandfather, how could this be? You, you used Zhuzhu..."

The old Duke smiled bitterly and said, "Before, I thought that your sister-in-law and brothers and sisters were the source of the troubles in the family. They said that the whole family was executed in the previous life. I blamed Zhuzhu, Yao girl, and our Shi family men for being incompetent and unable to protect the women and children.

Now I understand that I am the culprit.

Think about it carefully, your sister-in-law and brothers and sisters are actually trying to save the Shi family. Look at you brothers, your brains are broken, and you deserve what you have now! Let's go, let's go, let me be quiet for a while."

Shi Mingkui's eyes welled up with tears: "Grandfather, we were stupid and didn't see your intentions clearly. Please don't be upset. Grandmother still needs you."

"Don't worry, everything has changed in this life. Your brother is useless, but you still have a son, and I still have a great-grandson."

Having said that, the old Duke was not confident.

Shi Yunfan is reborn, but what about his other great-grandchildren?

The little great-grandchildren may still be able to make peace with themselves now, but once they are reborn, they will not be able to make peace with themselves, and may even be full of resentment towards the Shi family.

He was also confused. He only had his grandchildren and sons in his eyes. He did not pay attention to the teaching of his great-grandchildren. He did not realize that their father favored his younger sister more than his son. He only considered his younger sister, not his son or the long-term future of the family.

He deceived his descendants, and their actions deceived him.

No wonder his entire family was executed in his previous life.

Shi Mingkui wiped his tears and walked out.

I even forgot to bring my wheelchair.

Hanxu Hall gradually fell into silence.

The old Duke sat for a while, then felt the pain in his chest unbearable. He called out to the butler, and then fell down with his eyes black. He only had time to say, "Don't make a sound."

The butler was busy but not panicked. He immediately poured out two round black pills, stuffed them into the old duke's mouth, and forced him to drink two gulps of water to wash the pills down.

After entering the second gate, Shi Yao and her sister-in-law went to look for Shi Yunfan.

The gate of Fusuiyuan was closed and the third wife Rong refused to see him.

The three of them had no choice but to turn back.

Le An Ning frowned and asked, "What life did Brother Fan remember?"

Shi Yao guessed, "In the second life, maybe. In the first life, when Brother Fan was beheaded, he was very young, how could he have such courage? Why, would he be scared in front of the old man and the fourth brother? Look at him, he is so calm, without any fear, just like an old fox."

Just as steady as an old dog.

Shi Yao was full of admiration, as she didn't have the mental quality to do so.

He is truly a villain.

Le An Ning was anxious: "If he lets it slip, we won't have any secrets anymore."

Fu Nanjun said: "There's no point in being anxious. The old lady also remembered her past life. She didn't say anything. Even in her second life, the old lady would not hide anything from the old master."

Le An Ning was disappointed: "That's true."

Shi Yao thought, the old lady is not afraid of awakening to the second life, how many years can the old couple live? They don't know everything, the most they know is that the fifth prince Zhou Xu has the potential to be an emperor.

But can Zhou Xu still ascend to the throne in this life?

Certainly not.

As long as she is here, Zhou Xu can't touch the dragon throne.

"Don't be afraid, second sister-in-law. The fifth prince will never be able to sit in that position, and elder sister can't be his queen. He has flaws everywhere. As long as we pay attention, we can bring him down in advance."

Le An Ning asked hurriedly: "What's the flaw?"

Shi Yao smiled with her lips curved, "It is known that he has assassins and secret guards. He told the emperor that he was following me. Do you think the emperor and the fourth prince would believe it? Would the crown prince believe it?

In addition, after he returned to the capital, he acted very poor. He rode an old horse, and his entourage didn't even have horses. Not only did he not have a palace in the capital, but the Emperor and the Ministry of Rites refused to build one for him. He didn't even have a house and could only live in an inn.

Who would believe that a prince with a fiefdom could be so poor? How did he govern his fiefdom? After governing for several years, he didn't even collect taxes to buy a house or a good horse. Was it because he was incompetent, or because he couldn't bear to collect taxes and buy the people's hearts?

Or, he collected taxes, but what did he do with the money? Why couldn't he buy a house or a horse?

After careful consideration, it was all a conspiracy! In the end, he had a big handle in our hands, in the hands of the Shi family - he secretly joined the army.

In the previous lives of the two sisters-in-law, the fifth prince broke into the palace and seized the throne of the fourth prince, which means that he controlled at least half of the Northwest Army. I think that now, he is not just a soldier in the army, maybe he has become a small official.

If this news reaches the ears of the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince's Consort Ning, the Fifth Prince will be dead!"

If the prince touches the border military power, he will die.

Even the emperor couldn't tolerate him.

Le An Ning's eyes lit up like a thousand-watt light bulb, and he shook Shi Yao's arm: "Yao Yao, what's wrong with your brain? How did you come up with these ideas? Why can't I think of them? Shi Mingzhu still wants to marry the fifth prince to turn things around, don't even think about it, I'll crush them both to death!"

Shi Yao touched her face and comforted her: "Second sister-in-law's beauty is something I can never achieve no matter how hard I try."

Le An Ning nudged her shoulder with her head: "Hehe, Yaoyao, you are really sweet and good at talking."

Fu Nanjun rubbed his eyes and said, "Alright, alright, An Ning, how old are you? How old is Yao Yao? You are not ashamed to act like a spoiled child to her! Don't forget that your second sister was the queen in her previous life. How could she not be smart?"

Le An Ning's pretty face froze, and she immediately added: "Yao Yao also had a past life. Her two lives combined might make her older than me, so I just act like a spoiled child! Moreover, when I act like a spoiled child to the Queen, I feel very safe because she is protecting me."

After he finished speaking, Fu Nanjun and Le Anning fell silent at the same time.

In this life, Shi Yao can only marry a merchant.

After all, it was an imperial edict. Even if the Shi family had the ability to disobey the order, they would not do so for Shi Yao.

Therefore, Shi Yao had to get married.
