Chapter 133 Silencing
All the servants in the room, except Mother Wang, even Ginkgo who was following Shen Tang, had gone out.
Anyway, Ginkgo knows everything he needs to know, so there is no need to listen to it again.
After everyone left, the old lady asked Shen Sui, "What did Xian'er do wrong this time that made you so angry that you even punished the Second Madam?"
His son has always been a man of rules, and he would never punish the second wife unless it was something he could not tolerate.
Shen Sui couldn't control his anger and said, "Xie'er used Tang'er's disguise to ask Prince Ning to meet at Yanqi Lake."
The old lady frowned.
Why did Xianer ask Prince Ning out for no reason?
Thinking of the bloody disaster, the old lady vaguely guessed Shen Ying's intention.
The old lady asked, "Is it because of the bloody disaster?"
Seeing Shen Sui was so angry that she couldn't speak, the old lady knew that her guess was right. She knew Shen Xian was anxious, and the Second Wife was also worried about Shen Xian's lifelong event. She was no exception. The old lady glanced at Shen Tang and said, "Xian'er shouldn't have asked out Prince Ning under Tang'er's guise. But Tang'er can report it to me and I will punish her. How can a younger sister directly attack her own elder sister?"
Shen Sui said angrily, "If Xian'er had just made an appointment with Prince Ning, I wouldn't have cared much, but she drugged Prince Ning!"
The old lady's expression changed at this point, and she frowned, "A bloody disaster has driven a good daughter of my Pingyuan Marquisate to this point. You too, I asked you to pay more attention and settle Xian'er's marriage as soon as possible, but you have been so slow to act, and look what you have done to her."
The old lady was very angry, but more of her was heartbroken.
Shen Sui sat down angrily, "In Mother's eyes, this is actually my fault?"
The old lady said, "I'm not someone who can't tell right from wrong. But now that the mistake has been made, I can only apologize to Prince Ning and finalize the marriage..."
Shen Sui's expression was already ugly, and after hearing what the old lady said, his expression became even uglier. "Tang'er stopped it in time, and no big mistake was made!"
No?
The old lady thought the drugging was successful. She looked at Shen Tang, then at Shen Sui, "What Xian'er did was a bit dirty, but it's understandable. Old Prince Ning asked you to marry Tang'er that day, which shows that the daughter of our Pingyuan Marquis is also worthy of the Prince of Ning's Mansion..."
Shen Sui had just sat down when she heard this and stood up angrily, "Mom, do you know what you are talking about?!"
The old lady was shocked by Shen Sui's reaction, "What's wrong with what I said?"
As a mother and son, there is no need to speak false words.
If Shen Xian could really marry the Prince of Ning, it would not be bad for the Pingyuan Marquisate. As for the melon that Shen Xian forced down, whether it was bitter or sweet, she would have to bear it herself.
She did not approve of Shen Xi doing such a dirty thing, but she would not stop her. She would turn a blind eye.
Shen Sui asked, "Mother, do you know who the Prince of Ning is?"
Old lady, “…???”
The Prince of Ning is the grandson of the old Prince Ning.
What's there to ask about when everyone in Kyoto knows it?
The old lady looked at Shen Sui and heard Shen Sui say word by word, "Prince Ning is Yan'er, my son, Shen Yan!"
a bolt from the blue.
The old lady was stunned by Shen Sui's words. She couldn't recover for a long time. Finally, she said, "Are you crazy about Yan'er? He is the grandson of old Prince Ning. How can he be the son of our Pingyuan Marquis?!"
Shen Sui had originally not intended to tell the old lady about this, but now it had come to the point where he had to tell her.
Shen Sui said, "Yan'er and I have already recognized each other as father and son, but the old Princess Ning is old and in poor health. The old Prince Ning doesn't dare let her know that their grandson died of illness more than ten years ago, so he asked me not to bring Yan'er back for the time being."
As she spoke, Shen Sui looked at the old lady and said, "Mother, do you really think Tang'er has no sense of propriety? If that was really the Prince of Ning, how dare she order him to save someone in the street? Tang'er ordered her own eldest brother!"
The old lady's heart was filled with turmoil, and Mother Wang cried with joy.
The fact that the Marquis had no children had always been a source of worry for the old lady. She never expected that she could find a prince. The Prince of Ning, who was both civil and military, turned out to be the prince of their Marquis of Pingyuan Mansion. It was like a dream.
Mother Wang really suspected that she was dreaming and secretly reached out to pinch herself.
It hurts.
Really happy too.
The old lady's eyes sparkled with tears of excitement. Although she couldn't believe such a good thing could happen, she knew that Shen Sui would not joke with her like this. She was happy and angry at the same time, "Such a big thing, you even told Tang'er, but kept it from me?"
Shen Sui said, "It was Tang'er who found Yan'er, not me."
The old lady looked stunned.
Shen Sui said, "I didn't let Tang'er tell you because I was afraid you would be eager to see Yan'er and wanted him to return to his roots as soon as possible. Old Prince Ning saved Yan'er's life, and I also promised not to recognize Yan'er for the time being. The fewer people who know about this, the better. Also, when Yan'er was lost, I was afraid that Yan'er's identity would be exposed and he would be in danger."
The person who didn't want to tell the old lady was Shen Tang. Shen Sui was afraid that the old lady would be angry with Shen Tang, so he took the matter under his wing.
The old lady admitted that Shen Sui's concerns were correct. After hearing that Prince Ning was her grandson, she couldn't wait to meet him. She said, "It would be fine if you hid it from others, but hiding it from your own family almost caused a big mistake."
Shen Tang really didn't know what to do. The second branch had cruelly plotted against her eldest brother and made her father extinct. If they knew her eldest brother was still alive, they would definitely find a way to get rid of him, so she didn't dare let the old lady know. But she kept it a secret, but she couldn't prevent Shen Ying and the second branch. In order to prevent the bloody disaster, they actually set their sights on the position of Prince Ning's Princess.
Did her eldest brother dig up the second branch's ancestral grave in his previous life, and is plotting to kill him?
When Shen Sui heard this, his face darkened. "I told Mother today because I didn't want her to stop me from punishing Xi'er and the Second Wife. I don't want the other three wives to know about this..."
Before he could finish his words, a scream of "Ah" came from outside the door and window.
Then the maid was thrown in through the window by Chen Shan.
The maid fell heavily to the ground, the pain felt as if all the bones in her body were broken. She quickly knelt down and said, "My Lord, please spare my life. I know I was wrong. I didn't mean to eavesdrop..."
Shen Sui's face turned pale, the old lady's face also looked ugly, as did Shen Tang.
Shen Tang asked, "Who told you to eavesdrop outside the door?!"
The maid shook her head and knelt on the ground trembling, "No, no one asked me to eavesdrop..."
In fact, everyone in the room knew exactly who this maid belonged to.
The third and fourth wives did not have the courage to bribe the maids in the old lady's yard. Only the second wife dared to do so, and only she would do such a thing.
She even monitors the old lady's every move and keeps saying that she doesn't take the old lady seriously. Who is the one who really doesn't take the old lady seriously?
Shen Sui walked towards the maid, grabbed her neck and broke it in front of the old lady.
The old lady had never seen her son kill anyone before, and her face turned pale. Shen Sui threw the maid to the ground and said to the old lady, "I hope mother will listen to my words and not put Yan'er and me in such an unkind and unjust situation."
After saying this, Shen Sui walked away.
The old lady's hands holding the Buddhist beads were shaking.
Shen Sui didn't say it explicitly, but when he found Shen Yan, he hid it from her. It was obvious that he suspected that Shen Yan's disappearance was caused by the second wife, and he no longer trusted the second wife.
They are brothers, all her flesh and blood. How can she believe that the second master would do such a thing as fratricide?
