Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang

Chapter 244: The No. 29 Scholar’s ​​Wife ()

"My mother passed away early in life, and now I live alone in the Prime Minister's Residence. If Miss Fu were to marry me, she could help me manage the affairs of the residence.

Moreover, our family has a surplus of ten thousand taels of silver every year, so we will never be short of money.

In this way, the girl can do whatever she wants, isn't it great?"

Situ Jin continued to seduce, trying to make Shi Qing's heart move. Although he and Shi Qing had only met a few times, this little girl always gave him surprises.

He really liked this interesting girl and just wanted to marry her formally. Maybe the days ahead would be much more interesting.

Shi Qing frowned slightly, seeming a little hesitant.

She thought about what Situ Jin said and calculated secretly in her heart.

At this moment, Tuanzi couldn't help but make a noise in his sea of ​​consciousness. He said excitedly.

[Host, look, this man is handsome and rich, and he doesn't even have a mother-in-law to serve. Once Situ Jin dies in the future, you can become the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion!

By then, you'll have good looks, wealth, free time, and power. This deal is a steal!]

Shi Qing was a little moved by what he heard. Tuanzi has been quite smart recently.

Although he was moved, the mission was not yet completed, so Shi Qing felt that the marriage could be discussed later.

"If the Prime Minister and I end up in the same place, it won't be too late to discuss this matter later. It's getting late, so I'll take my leave."

After saying that, Shi Qing bowed and turned to leave. The Shangshu Mansion was very busy right now, and even if someone wanted to take a break, it would not be possible.

Situ Jin looked at her leaving figure and restrained his gaze. Well, as the old saying goes, sincerity is the key to success.

Some things are better left to nature.

*

Minister Fu's mood was full of ups and downs. When he first arrived at Bailu Academy, the emperor praised him for his good parenting skills, saying that the eldest daughter was extremely intelligent and had great skill in embroidery.

With everyone's compliments, even Minister Fu couldn't help but feel a little flattered. But before he could be happy for long, news of Fu Yayun's affair spread.

This was undoubtedly a slap in the face of Minister Fu. He had worked diligently all his life and had done countless things to maintain his dignity, but his beloved second daughter squandered everything.

Minister Fu no longer had the face to stay in the academy, so he found an excuse to leave, feeling ashamed.

He didn't know whether the story was true or not, so he could only leave the table in a hurry, with a gloomy face and no words.

After returning to the Shangshu Mansion, Shangshu Fu heard the instructions given by the old lady.

From now on, Fu Yayun is not allowed to return home. The Fu family will treat her as if they don't have this daughter. No matter how glorious or lonely Fu Yayun is in the future, it has nothing to do with the Fu family.

After Shen knew about this, she went to the old lady's Hesong Hall and knelt down to beg for mercy.

"Mother, Yun'er is your granddaughter after all. You can't be so heartless. She was framed. It was that little bitch Fu Qingning who did it. Mother, please take back your decision."

Shen had been crying for an hour. The old lady listened to the noise outside and felt dizzy with anger. No matter what Shen said, she pretended not to hear it.

However, if she continued to make such a fuss, the old lady would become very annoyed and could not help but speak to the nanny beside her.

"Madam Wen, let her leave. No need to beg for mercy. If she doesn't listen, she will be punished according to the family rules."

Nanny Wen said respectfully, "Yes, I understand."

The old lady's meaning was very clear, and even Nanny Wen could hear it, but only Shen didn't understand. She cried and made a fuss and refused to leave.

"Madam, Yun'er is my only daughter. If I don't care about her, will I let anyone bully her?"

After hearing this, the old lady still disappeared. Shen stood up and almost fainted. It was Minister Fu who supported her and she was safe.

"What's the matter, Shu'er? Why are you so disrespectful?"

Shen hugged Minister Fu's waist and cried, "Master, it's pitiful that my Yun'er was plotted against, but the old lady wants me to sever ties with Yun'er. What if Yun'er is bullied by her husband's family? Master, please help our poor daughter."

Minister Fu was a little conflicted. He believed that filial piety was the most important thing, and it was not in his nature to criticize the old lady on behalf of Shen.

Thinking of this, Minister Fu quickly said, "I'll plead for you. Mother will always look after me."

Unexpectedly, the old lady appeared and pointed at Shen and said mercilessly.

"The Shen mother and daughter were trying to clear Qingqing's name at the White Deer Academy, but they ended up getting caught in an affair. It's incredible that a mother caught her own daughter in an affair. There's nothing like this in the world."

Minister Fu was stunned. The truth of the matter was actually like this. If this was the case, then Shen was reaping what he had sown. This had a very different meaning.

"Mother, there may be a misunderstanding."

After all, Shen Shuer has been the apple of Minister Fu's eye for many years. Now that the old lady is making trouble, he naturally has to protect her.

The old lady sneered, feeling even more annoyed with Minister Fu. How come he hasn't made any progress in all these years? What kind of personality does Shen have? Doesn't she really know anything about it?

"If you are blind and only care about Shen's mother and daughter, then we will sever our relationship. Our Fu family is also a family of scholars. If you want Shen and don't want her to suffer any injustice, I will make the decision for you. From now on, our relationship as mother and son will be severed."

Minister Fu quickly showed weakness. Things had not yet reached the point of no return. If they continued to argue, it would only hurt the relationship between them. He knew this very well.

"Everything will be done as Mother says. Please don't be angry."

Shen's eyes darkened. The man she had fought for with all her might actually had no feelings for her at all. Shen felt heartbroken.

The old lady's mood was barely relieved. She glanced at Shen and said coldly.

"You've raised your daughter like this, you're really not worthy of being the wife of the Fu family. Considering how hard you've worked for the Fu family, I won't argue with you about some things. But if you want to get married again, I won't tolerate any sand in my eyes."

This was the final ultimatum issued by the old lady. If Shen was clear-headed, she would know where the bottom line was.

However, Shen was not grateful for the old lady's forgiveness, but instead held a grudge against her in her heart, and a cold look flashed in her eyes.

The old woman was so rude to her, she would never let the old lady go...

It would be best if the old lady died in vain in the end.

Shen knelt down respectfully, lowered her eyebrows and said submissively, "Yes, I accept the punishment."

Shen was confined to the main courtyard, and all the miscellaneous affairs of the mansion were handed over to the old lady. However, the old lady was not in good health and could not handle these matters.

At Nanny Wen's suggestion, the old lady decided to let Shi Qing take charge of the household expenses in the mansion and clear up the past accounts at the same time.

Many of the accounts in the mansion are a bit unclear, which is a headache for the old lady.

While Shen was under house arrest, the old lady took the opportunity to talk to Minister Fu about adopting A Ci, which was considered as a direct arrangement for this matter.

Minister Fu felt a little complicated. He didn't expect the old lady to be so anxious. In the end, he couldn't persuade her and promised to make a decision within half a month.

In the Youlan Courtyard, Shi Qing was eating seasonal lychees. On the table was Tao Ji's roast chicken and the most famous dim sum in the capital.

There was something abrupt. There was a bunch of crabapple flowers on the table. It was the flowering season. The crabapple flowers were gorgeous and tender, looking pleasing to the eye.

These are the crabapple flowers sent from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. They are all very rare varieties of crabapple flowers. Situ Jin knew that Shi Qing liked crabapple flowers, so he spent a lot of money to buy them.

I heard that there are also many crabapple blossoms planted in the garden of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

There was nothing else to do in the academy these two days. Shi Qing rested for a day or two, but Situ Jin was not idle. He delivered the most popular clothes, dresses, and head ornaments in the capital on time every day.

The Right Prime Minister was very generous and the clothes, dresses and jewelry he gave were all one-of-a-kind. Although it cost a lot of money, the Situ family naturally had no shortage of several thousand taels of silver. In short, they were showing their courtesy according to Shi Qing's preferences.

Even the time for the Wan family to arrive in Beijing was advanced. Situ Jin wrote a letter to Shi Qing to inform him, and then sent people to bring all the Wan family members to the capital and even prepared a residence for them.

Mingyue said with emotion as she peeled lychees for Shiqing.

"The Right Prime Minister treats the young lady with genuine affection. I heard that the Wan family has already sent cloth and fabrics to the palace. The Emperor and Concubine Shu are very satisfied with the Wan family's fabrics and have decided to cooperate with them. From now on, your maternal grandfather's family will be the imperial merchant."

Shi Qing's mouth twitched. Situ Jin was a man of action. He just wanted to get things done without saying a word. He just got on with his work.

The emotional value is well given, and it doesn't matter that she's a little older, after all, she has an outstanding appearance.

"If you don't know, you might think the Wan family is the Right Prime Minister's maternal family."

Shi Qing was both amused and confused, but with Situ Jin pushing the progress bar, many things were easier for him to worry about.

Remembering that the last coming-of-age ceremony at the academy was half a month ago, Shi Qing raised his eyes and asked Mingyue.

"What's the news from the Champion's Mansion?"

Mingyue shook her head. "The Zhou family's servants are very strict. I can't get any information. I just heard that the second young lady's pregnancy seems unstable and she is trying to protect the fetus."

When Shi Qing heard this, he remained silent. Zhou Wenqing was a vindictive man who could not tolerate any grain of sand in his eyes.

Fu Yayun made him lose face. If he swallowed this anger, could he still treat Yayun well?

It sounded a little wrong, at least Shi Qing felt it was impossible.

"Mingyue, inform everyone that I will go to the temple to burn incense for my mother tomorrow."

There was a glint of cunning in Shi Qing's eyes. Everything was going according to plan. However, it was time to lure the snake out of its hole, otherwise it would be too boring.

Mingyue was a little surprised. She secretly looked at the lady who was offering incense and candles in the corner, and wondered.

"Didn't Miss bring back the lady's tablet several months ago?"

Shi Qing curled his lips. "If I had stayed in Youlan Courtyard, how would the people in the dark have had the opportunity to attack me? I've been too idle lately, don't you think?"

Although Mingyue was a little stupid, she had been with Shi Qing for a long time and soon understood what Shi Qing meant.

"Young lady, you are right. I will inform the coachman right away. We will go to the White Horse Temple to pay our respects to the Madam tomorrow. The mountain road is very rugged, so the coachman must be careful."

Shi Qing nodded and said, Mingyue is a little girl who is teachable.

"Go."

After Mingyue left, Shi Qing finished eating the lychees on the table and used his consciousness to wake up Tuanzi.

[Is Fu Yayun imprisoned? ]

Tuanzi was surprised that Shi Qing had guessed the plot and was a little surprised.

[The host is smart. Fu Yayun has indeed been imprisoned, and the Queen Mother's secret interactions with Zhou Wenqing have become increasingly frequent.]

Shi Qing was not surprised at all. Empress Dowager Yuan was a romantic person when she was young. She was able to make Fu Yayun the target of public criticism in the academy, so it was easy for her to imprison Fu Yayun now.

The child that Fu Yayun had conceived with great effort has now become a death warrant. It all depends on how much conscience Zhou Wenqing has left.

Shi Qing thought that the Wan family had already settled down in the capital, and even if Zhou Wenqing wanted to take action, it would be too late. However, there was still one thing that Zhou Wenqing must have not expected.

[Tuanzi, I remember that half a year ago, a massacre occurred in Liujia Village on the outskirts of Beijing. Is that true?]

[Yes, host. The village massacre is inextricably linked to Zhou Wenqing.]

Tuanzi did not deny it. According to the original plot, such an incident did happen, but the original book just lightly touched on it.

However, Shi Qing had read the original text in detail. Although Liujia Village was massacred, the murderer had not been caught yet. Only a mountain in Liujia Village was dug bare.

At this point in the plot, Shi Qing has already figured out some things and now knows the plot.

The reason why Liujia Village was massacred was that the hunters in the village accidentally discovered a gold mine hidden in the mountains and were tragically wiped out.

The person behind the scenes was Zhou Wenqing, and the one who gave the order was Empress Dowager Yuan. The two of them colluded with each other and turned the capital into a turbid pool.

[Liujia Village Massacre, are there any survivors? If so, please get some information for me; it will be very useful later.]

As soon as Shi Qing finished speaking, Tuanzi quickly checked for survivors in Liujia Village. Unexpectedly, there were actually survivors, so Tuanzi found the person directly.

[Host, the message has been transmitted to the sea of ​​consciousness, please be at ease.]

Shi Qing smiled. Emperor Wen'an's birthday banquet was about to come, and as a teacher at Bailu Academy, she was among the invited guests.

And Zhou Wenqing's good days are over.

Shi Qing had already compiled the evidence of his crime, and was just waiting for Zhou Wenqing to make a mistake so that he could catch him in one fell swoop.

*

After Shen was confined to her house, the old lady would occasionally invite A Ci to dine together in the other courtyard, and sometimes Minister Fu would also eat together, but he couldn't help but feel that the old lady was too close to A Ci.

However, in these troubled times, the old lady has been in a bad mood recently, so Minister Fu had no choice but to turn a blind eye and just make the old lady happy.

Unexpectedly, the old lady mentioned that she wanted to adopt A Ci as the adopted son of the Shangshu Mansion. Shangshu Fu didn't know how to respond for a moment, so he turned around and left with an excuse.

However, he never demanded too much from Ah Ci regarding his food, clothing, and other expenses.

Shen also stared at A Ci with eager eyes. When she learned that the old lady intended to adopt A Ci, her perfect mask finally cracked.

Liu'er brought a table full of delicious dishes, but Shen didn't even touch her chopsticks. After hearing Liu'er's message, she overturned the table.

Shen cursed bitterly, like a shrew scolding in the street.

"Why doesn't this old hag just die? She actually wants to place someone next to the master. How embarrassing for me! I will never let the son of that bitch Aci enter the house unless I die!"

Liu'er shuddered. She had been with the Madam for many years, but she had never seen her lose her composure like this. It looked so unbearable that she couldn't help but tremble.
