The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 123: Big Brother Leaves Beijing

After standing for a long time, his legs were almost numb, he said, "Nan Jun, you and I are married, Zhuzhu is just my sister. She is a girl, so I love her a little more, don't worry."

Fu Nanjun remained indifferent.

In order to make his sister the most honorable woman in this country, he would rather risk the execution of his entire family. It really only hurts a little more.

If love and favor can be scored on a ten-point scale, then Shi Mingzhu got twelve points, while she might not even have gotten two points.

Shi Mingwu felt sorry for Shi Mingzhu because she was a girl, but had he ever thought that she was also a girl?

If I marry him and become a woman, does that mean I am no longer worth cherishing?

Fu Nanjun stopped these useless regrets.

It would be great if she could get rid of all the men in the Shi family. Unfortunately, after making such a fuss for so long, she only got rid of Shi Mingwu after being whipped.

If these men were driven out of the capital, many things would not be so convenient to do, at least it would be impossible to murder the prince.

Fu Nanjun said absentmindedly, "Well, I know what you mean, and I don't think too much."

Shi Mingwu felt as if a knife had stabbed him in the heart: "Nan Jun, I..."

Fu Nanjun said in a slightly irritated tone, "It's late at night. You will be leaving tomorrow. Go back to bed early. I'm going to rest too. From now on, Lingyun will be in your care.

If you are busy, it is the same to leave him to Second Aunt to take care of him. I trust Second Aunt. Go ahead, you stand here, if you can't rest, I can't sleep either."

After saying that, she lay down directly, facing inside.

Shi Mingwu stood there for a while, listening to her breathing. Knowing that she really couldn't sleep, he could only sigh and leave in despair.

Jin Rui held a lantern and reminded him to walk carefully: "My Lord, you are leaving the capital soon, why don't you say a few more kind words? If you are angry like this, you will not be at ease when you leave, and the eldest lady will not be at ease in the capital either."

He thought to himself, everything was fine, but with all this going on, they have to make the servants go to that bitter and cold place too. Why bother?

If you have wealth and glory but don't enjoy it, you will suffer.

There is no war to fight at the border. If you want to achieve success and return to Beijing in triumph, how long will you have to wait?

Shi Mingwu said: "You don't understand."

Just as Fu Nanjun said, if you stay in the capital, in this small house, your horizons will become narrower and your mind will become smaller.

Fu Nanjun only saw the risks of competing for the throne, but failed to see the huge benefits that would come from successfully competing for the throne.

It all started when Zhuzhu fell in love with the Fourth Prince Zhou Shao at first sight, so her father and mother naturally wanted to make plans for her lifelong affairs.

The fourth prince's mother and her family were arrogant and domineering, and often tried to undermine the crown prince's edge.

Since their daughter is going to marry a prince, how can she marry a prince who is destined to be suppressed by the current crown prince and the future new emperor?

It is possible that the new emperor will be wary of the Shi family because they are related to the Fourth Prince by marriage, and will suppress the Shi family as well.

He decided to go all out and dethrone the Crown Prince and promote the Fourth Prince.

His father, mother and he made a plan first, and then told his grandfather.

My grandfather was far-sighted. He considered not only Zhuzhu's future but also the future of the Shi family, so he agreed to this plan.

Everything was going smoothly, and at the critical moment, Fu Nanjun suddenly saw through their plan.

He was afraid that the news would leak out, so he investigated for a long time and captured Qiu Shi, the girl Fu Nanjun had married off. He tortured her and interrogated her, but he could not get any clues.

Now, Fu Nanjun has revealed the news to her parents' family.

During the New Year's greetings, the old tutor warned my grandfather not to act rashly.

But now that the bow has been shot, there is no turning back.

Even if the Shi family wanted to get away now, they couldn't. The Fourth Prince's ambition was like a tiger out of a cage, so how could they be willing to be locked up again?

Now the Shi family faces two choices: either kill the crown prince and support the fourth prince to take the throne, or support the crown prince and kill the fourth prince.

However, Zhuzhu likes the Fourth Prince, and the entire Shi family favors her, so how could they not fulfill her wish?

Shi Mingwu thought ashamedly that he was bound to disappoint Nanjun again.

He has advised his grandfather and father to be more restrained and not to touch the old tutor, otherwise he is afraid that he and Nan Jun will never be reconciled.

Shi Mingwu sighed deeply.

The old tutor can meet the emperor in person and is not someone you would want to mess with. My father-in-law is the chief academic officer of the Imperial College and has students all over the government and the country, so he is not someone you would want to mess with either. The Fu family should be fine.

My grandfather and father were not so stupid as to create a strong and tough opponent for the Shi family before accomplishing anything great.

The night is long and the road ahead is uncertain.

?

The next day, before dawn, the Shi family got up early to see Shi Mingwu and Shi Lingyun off from Beijing.

Shi Mingwu took his son's hand and bid farewell to everyone one by one.

With tears in his eyes, Fu Nanjun earnestly told his eldest son: "Listen to your father, your second grandfather and second grandmother. Remember?"

Shi Lingyun's eyes were glistening with tears. He was wearing a neat riding suit, and his body was straight, like a young poplar. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to his mother, saying:

"My son will remember what my mother said. I will go to defend my country and bring honor to our Shi family! I will not bring shame to my great-grandparents, my grandparents, and my mother!"

Fu Nanjun wanted to remind him to put on more clothes when the weather is cold, and to eat and drink water when he is hungry or thirsty, but after hearing this, he didn't know what to say next.

The old Duke stroked his beard and laughed, and personally helped Shi Lingyun up: "Lingyun, well done! You are worthy of being a descendant of my Shi family! Great-grandfather is waiting for you to return with honor and fame!"

"Yes, Lingyun will not disappoint the old man!" Although Shi Lingyun is a young boy, he has the ambition to soar into the sky.

Everyone put aside their sadness of parting and began to praise him.

Zheng secretly glared at Fu Nanjun.

Shi Mingwu glanced at his wife again and again, but she never looked back at him, with a look of loss in her eyes.

Seeing this, Shi Mingzhu was considerate and comforted him softly, and gently reminded her brother what to pay attention to after leaving Beijing.

Soon, Shi Mingmo picked up Shi Lingyun and put him on the carriage.

Shi Lingyun said with a stern face, "Sixth Uncle, I can do it myself, I can do it myself!"

Shi Mingmo smiled and said, "Sixth Uncle will only hold you this time. The next time you come back, I may not be able to hold you!"

Wang Fan bit her lip. Her husband really loved children, but her belly was not keeping up and there was no sign of pregnancy.

Although Shi Mingwu's wounds had not yet healed, he wanted to save face and decided to ride a horse on the way out of the city.

He climbed onto his horse, bowed to everyone and said, "Grandfather and grandmother, father and mother, and Nanjun, you all wait for Lingyun and I to come back! After sending you a thousand miles away, we must finally say goodbye. This unfilial son Mingwu bids farewell!"

His sharp yet gentle gaze swept over everyone one by one, even Shi Yao received a gentle look. He kept his family firmly in his heart, then shook the reins and ordered to set off.

The convoy slowly drove towards the north gate.

The four brothers Shi Mingwei, Shi Mingzhen, Shi Mingkui and Shi Minghui rode on horseback to escort them out of the city.

The rest of the people returned home.

When Shi Mingwu left Beijing, he took the gossip with him, and it seemed that he also took the bustle of the Duke's Mansion with him.

In addition, the New Year holidays have passed, the men have gone to school or to work, and the lives of the women in the harem have temporarily returned to normal.

Behind the scenes, however, there were undercurrents.
