Harem Daily Life

"Okay, be gentle, don't beat him to death. Otherwise, we won't be able to explain to the Wang family." Mrs. Shu saw that it was almost time, so she asked the maids to stop.

Blood was oozing from the corner of Shu Yunyun's mouth. She couldn't even straighten her back and lay on the ground unable to move.

"Hmph, I'm warning you, don't even think about running away. Go back and heal your wounds, and you can get married in ten days. Once you get married, you will have nothing to do with my Shu family anymore, and I won't bother with you." Madam Shu winked at the maids, and they dragged her away like an object, not caring whether Shu Yunyun's knees would be rubbed.

Shu Yunyun's aunt looked at her covered in wounds and couldn't help but shed tears.

"I told you not to go against the Madam, but you refused to listen. Now you're injured like this, what should I do?"

Shu Yunyun lay on the bed with a deathly pale face. Thinking about how high-spirited she used to be, she found it ridiculous.

"I was so devoted to the Shu family, but I never thought they wouldn't be able to protect me in the end. Haha, well, since the Shu family won't help me, then I won't let them off easy either! Doesn't father value the Queen Mother the most and obey her every word? Then I'm going to tell her the Queen Mother's secret. I want to see if my father will still care about her after knowing she was unfaithful to the late emperor."

The aunt was terrified and quickly told Shu Yunyun to shut up: "You are so bold, do you know what you are saying?"

Shu Yunyun glanced at her aunt coldly and said, "Don't worry about my affairs from now on. Go find my father. I have something to say to him. Go quickly!"

After hearing what his aunt said, Lord Shu came to Shu Yunyun's room with a serious expression.

Looking at his daughter covered in wounds, Master Shu shook his head and took out a silver ingot from his purse and handed it to his aunt: "Go get the best medicine to heal her wounds. Don't leave any scars."

The aunt wanted to stay and listen to the conversation between the father and daughter, but was sent away by Lord Shu. She had to signal her daughter with her eyes not to talk nonsense, and then she left.

"Tell me, what happened to the Queen Mother?" Lord Shu sat down and listened patiently.

"Father, do you still remember that my elder sister was sent to the imperial palace and not allowed to leave?"

Lord Shu nodded. He had once visited the Empress Dowager at the imperial palace. He glared at Shu Yunyun fiercely. "If you're trying to tell me about the Empress Dowager's affair and your eldest sister finding out, then don't bother. I don't want to know."

Shu Yunyun was shocked. She didn't expect that what she thought was a secret was no longer a secret.

"Father, do you know who the Queen Mother has an affair with?"

Lord Shu narrowed his eyes, he didn't want to know.

Shu Yunyun was unwilling to stop talking: "He is the owner of Penglai Island, Mu Yu."

Lord Shu frowned, Penglai Island was a force that could not be underestimated.

"Father, what do you think the Queen Mother would do if the Shu family took this secret and asked her to work for them?" Shu Yunyun was gambling, betting that her father wanted more power.

Lord Shu paced around the room for a long moment before saying, "The Queen Mother isn't as simple as you think. She won't be threatened by anyone. I advise you not to tell anyone else about this secret except me. Otherwise, if any word gets out, no one will be able to save you."

"Father! Aren't you moved at all?" Shu Yunyun didn't give up and kept urging him.

Lord Shu looked at her intently. "Yunyun, it's not a bad thing that you have ambition, but you must have the ability to control it. I hope you will keep everything that was said in this room to yourself and never speak it out again. Just rest and recuperate, and marry into the Wang family in ten days. From now on, you will be a quiet wife of the Wang family. Don't worry, your father will prepare your dowry and promote the young man from the Wang family. You will never let your life be difficult."

After saying this, Lord Shu wanted to leave, but Shu Yunyun stopped him from behind: "If father doesn't use this as a handle to restrain the Queen Mother, there will really be no chance in the future."

Lord Shu paused, ignored Shu Yunyun, and walked out the door.

"Keep an eye on her. If she says anything crazy, you will be held accountable." The two maids at the door quickly responded.

When he returned to his room, he met Madam Shu. Madam Shu gave her a cold look and said, "You severely injured someone. If you can't cure him, I wonder how you're going to explain this to the Wang family."

Madam Shu rolled her eyes at him and said, "If she hadn't run away and made things difficult for the Shu family, would I have been so cruel? Your Excellency treats them well, but they might not be good to the Shu family."

Lord Shu sighed, "I thought he was useful, but I didn't expect him to be completely useless. The Queen Mother is... too cruel."

The relationship between the Shu family and the royal family came to an end completely from He Linzhang's generation, and the dream of maintaining the glory of the century-old family seemed impossible to achieve.

Mrs. Shu was also feeling bad. One of her two daughters became a concubine but died young, and the other married a prince as a concubine, but was not considered powerful. The remaining two sons were useless and only knew how to fight cocks all day.

"Master, it's fate, and you can't force it."

Lord Shu hesitated for a moment, but still told Madam Shu the secret that Shu Yunyun had just told him.

"In your opinion, madam, how can we make use of this matter?" asked Lord Shu.

Madam Shu glared at him and said, "If Master wants the Shu family to be destroyed, then Master can use it to your advantage."

Lord Shu touched his nose, feeling a little guilty.

"Master, you should know the Queen Mother better than I do what kind of person she is. You think you can't control her? Since the Queen Mother dared to meet with Island Master Mu in the palace, do you think His Majesty wouldn't know? Why would you be the bad guy and sever your brotherly relationship with the Queen Mother for nothing?"

Lord Shu listened patiently and nodded from time to time.

"Also, this third girl really has bad intentions. She told the master all this not for his sake, but to push the Shu family down a path of destruction. Marry her off quickly in ten days. Whatever she does in the future will have nothing to do with our Shu family."

Mrs. Shu's words woke Lord Shu up from his dream, and he completely gave up the idea of ​​threatening the empress dowager.

On the sixteenth day of the winter month, a wedding sedan was carried out of the Shu family's side door, followed by more than a dozen suitcases, and was carried to the Wang family's house in the west of the city to the sound of music and drums. Shu Yunyun was held by two maids and had no way to escape, so she entered the Wang family's gate.

After the matter came to an end, Lord Shu found an opportunity to enter the palace and report to the Empress Dowager the outcome of the Shu Yunyun case.

The Queen Mother's foot injury had almost healed. She limped out with the help of Eunuch Qin. When she saw her brother, she waved her hand and said, "Brother, don't stand. Sit down."

Lord Shu first asked about her well-being, and then talked about Shu Yunyun: "The child is already married, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

The Dowager picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Don't blame me for being cruel and not finding a better way out for her. It's really because she has impure intentions that she set her sights on the prince. It's absolutely wrong!"

Lord Shu wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Yes, yes, she was confused. Thank you, Queen Mother, for sparing her life. But... speaking of which, the Second Prince isn't a proper prince either. If Yunyun is forced to marry hastily for him, will that be..."

Lord Shu originally wanted to say that the Queen Mother was overreacting, but when he saw the Queen Mother's dark face, he dared not say anything more.
