In Yingyue Courtyard, Shen Ninghua leaned on the brocade couch. She examined the things sent by the first lady and smiled. "Yesterday, Qinxue Courtyard must have changed a lot of porcelain articles."
Hong Ling said with a smile. "Your guess is right. I heard that the Second Young Lady was very angry.”
Shen Linghan was very arrogant and was spoiled by Shen Dong and Madam Zhao. She had never suffered any grievances.
Yesterday, her dresses were taken away and given to Shen Ninghua. How could she bear it?
Shen Ninghua stood up with a smile and straightened out the wrinkle-free dress. "Take the jade dew fragrance that I just made. Let's go to greet grandma."
Just as she said it, Bai Ruo walked in quickly. "Miss, the first lady asked you to go there quickly because your cousin Miss Zhao had an accident."
"Zhao Ruyun?"
Shen Ninghua's expression changed, and the smile in her eyes became more and more
Hearing Shen Ninghua ask for an explanation, Madam Zhang raised her slanted eyes, and looked at Shen Ninghua with contempt. "The most important characters of a woman are gentleness, politeness and thrift. You, on the other hand, is particularly eloquent."Shen Ninghua was not afraid of her gaze and looked back with clear eyes. "Aunt, you are right. It's good for a woman to be gentle as water.But being splashed a basin of dirty water onto her head plus being threatened to have her hands and feet chopped off is a different case. Although I’m good-tempered, I would not bear such injustice."Madam Zhang's voice was stern. "Linghan heard you threaten Yun'er with her own ears to let her fingers rot. How dare you say you are wronged?""My younger sister heard that with her own ears?"Shen Ninghua looked at Shen Linghan in surprise. "I only met cousin once at the party. There were so many young ladies there. Weren’t you talki
Zhao Ruyun was stunned for a while, and suddenly thought of what Shen Ninghua had said before. She felt that Shen Ninghua's eyesight was like a loud slap in the face. She became angry due to embarrassment. "What are you? Do you think you are qualified to ask me for an explanation?"Shen Ninghua sneered and looked at Shen Dong, whose face was gloomy. "Cousin, whether I am qualified or not is not up to you. I am the first daughter of the Shen family. Besides, I'm the Prime Minister's daughter. Am I not even qualified to ask for an explanation after being framed? There’s no such rule in the world. Since you just mentioned the empress, I’m making this clear. Even if we take this case to the empress, you should give me an explanation."Empress Zhao was very powerful in the harem, but her power was only limited to the harem. In the kingdom of Da'an, women were never allowed to be involved in politics. No matter how powerful empress Zhao was in the harem, she did
When Shen Dong looked at Zhao Ruyun's fingers, he was startled to such an extent that his heart beat violently.Madam Zhao directly covered her chest and vomited. In the beginning, the wounds on Zhao Ruyun's fingers were just festering. Now, the festering area had expanded to the whole right hand and the skin was covered with gray and pink blisters, emitting constant stench."What...what's going on?"With tears still on her face, Zhao Ruyun hurriedly said, "I asked Doctor Chen to have a look at my hand. He said that the wine made by Shen Ninghua could treat my hand. Uncle, auntie, please help me."Shen Ninghua's wine?Shen Dong frowned. "Ninghua, do you have any more wine?""No." Shen Ninghua coldly said."She's a liar!" Zhao Ruyun screamed. "You must have it. You just don’t want to give it to me! I know you, bitch. You just want to see me act like a fool. Would you be happy if I die?"
Madam Su was stunned and stayed where she was. Her fingers trembled slightly. "You...what do you want to say?""The Second Prince is coming back on July 15, auntie. That's the Ghost Day." Shen Ninghua's voice was not high, but it stirred up waves in Madam Su's heart.Listening to Shen Ninghua's cool voice, Madam Su shuddered. "You mean this day...No way. The empress is not so bold.""I didn't believe it either. But being a mother makes a woman stronger. Auntie, you should be able to experience such a feeling." Shen Ninghua sighed faintly. "Auntie, I just don't want you to regret it after the bad thing has happened. I've made the Zhao family lose face this time. They will not leave the matter at that. My mother has passed away, and my father ignores me. I am alone, and there is nothing for me to worry about. But auntie, you are different. I am grateful that you have helped me many times. That's why I reminded you. Auntie, if you don't believe it
On the way back to the Shen mansion, Bai Ruo seemed to have something to say, but she hesitated. Shen Ninghua looked at her for a long time and asked, "Do you think I did something wrong today?"Bai Ruo quickly regained her presence of mind, "No. I just feel that you seemed to care too much about that Master Chu. He broke into...into your boudoir many times, and your reputation..."Shen Ninghua leaned against the carriage and couldn't stop laughing, "Ha, you’ve always been the most intelligent girl. Why did you suddenly become stupid today?""Miss..." Bai Ruo's face flushed. Although she didn't understand the reason, she felt extremely embarrassed."Chu Junyi absolutely has an extraordinary status. Although I don't know why he became the adoptive son of the Xiao family or why he helped me many times, there's no harm to make friends with such a person. As for reputation, haha, what's the use of that? "If you were power
In Lüye Garden, there were many ice basins, sending coolness to the garden with the breeze."Haha, Miss Linghan is really intelligent. I have never seen such a wonderful girl like you even though I have been out for many years."Hearty laughter came from the pavilion.Shen Linghan lowered her head slightly. But unlike the coyness of ordinary girls, her face was glowing with a radiant look, which made the Second Prince in the opposite side appreciate her a little more.Shen Xuanhua sat by and looked out of the pavilion. When he saw Shen Ninghua coming with the servant girls, his eyes immediately brightened and he stood up and shouted, "Here, Eldest Sister!"Shen Ninghua raised her head and smiled. She approached the pavilion and said with feigned anger, "If you shouted a little louder, I can hear you in Yingyue Courtyard.""Eldest Sister, you make fun of me." Shen Xuanhua said embarrassedly. Yesterday, he r
Shen Linghan stood in the crowd, her eyes full of resentment. Jealousy cast a shadow on her face, which made her originally beautiful face appear ferocious.Shen Ninghua went to the market with Qing Que and Hong Ling. After a brief walk around, she soon lost her interest and returned to Qinyang Building. Hong Ling asked with concern, "Miss, are you feeling not well?""I'm fine." The streets were still full of traffic, but what she could feel was only coldness. No matter how busy the surrounding areas were, it seemed that she wasn't interested at all. "You don't need to accompany me here. Go down and have fun. This is the place chosen by the Second Prince. There won't be any danger."Hong Ling poured a cup of tea for her, "We don't think there's much fun down there either. There are too many people. We would rather stay here with you."Qing Que didn't even move, standing beside Shen Ninghua all along. All of a sudden, she frowned an
Chu Junyi pulled Shen Ninghua to his side and flipped open the folding fan in his hand. With a wave of his hand, he knocked away a fireball falling from the sky. He abruptly took off his coat and draped it over Shen Ninghua's head, "Protect yourself!"After saying that, he was about to pull the Fifth Prince back who was now pushed by the crowd to the point of reeling right and left. He had just taken one step forward when he felt his sleeve suddenly pulled. He turned around to Shen Ninghua who was pulling him, and said with a frown, "What's wrong?"Shen Ninghua's gaze was as calm as water. Her dark eyes were like a bone-chilling night, pitch-black as if they could drown a person. Her voice was also cold as ice, "Leave him alone."Chu Junyi frowned. "Do you know what you're talking about?"Although he personally didn't care about the Fifth Prince, if something happened to the prince in his place, he might have trouble explaining to
