Princess Menglang is hard to change, the whole capital is embarrassed for her

Banxia was confused, "Ah? What do you mean, girl?"

"What I mean is, if he says you're under house arrest, then you're under house arrest? I have to listen to him. If I don't listen, it's the same as not happening, right? I hadn't planned on doing anything, but now that he's under house arrest, I'm going out anyway. I'm going to take you shopping tomorrow, and I'll see who dares to stop me."

It was so heroic that Banxia, ​​Qiluo and the others were very excited.

Come to think of it, if the girls don't obey, the punishment is nothing more than kneeling in the ancestral hall and copying the family rules. These girls simply can't do it.

As for letting the maids tie up the girl and beat her according to family rules, who in this house dares to do that?

They haven't forgotten the loss they suffered at the hands of the girl a few days ago. Now when the old women in the Shen family see the girl, they shrink their necks one after another.

If you want them to do something to the girls, they think their lives are too long to handle.

"What if the master asks the servant to do it?" He Gu asked worriedly.

"He dares?" Qi Luo stood up suddenly, scowling and sullen, and said with a dark face, "What kind of good person would let a servant attack his daughter? Humiliating his own daughter, does he think the reputation is too good? Besides, there are Gulu and the others. The servant was beaten back before he could even touch the girl. If that were the case, it would just let the Shen family know that the girl has someone to protect her. See if it can't scare these guys to death."

They are a bunch of troublemakers. They dare to attack a girl. We really give them face.

"What if the master and mistress don't give the girl a monthly allowance, nor do they give money for the small kitchen?" He Gu was older after all, so she thought more.

Qili smiled and said, "Have you forgotten about the girl drawing lots for dinner?"

When this was mentioned, He Gu remembered.

She heard about this as soon as she arrived. You know what, girls have a lot of ideas.

"If you don't give me money this time, I'll eat from everyone," Qili said. "After I finish eating, I'll go to the main kitchen and take whatever I see, so they can't eat anything. Anyway, everyone knows that I'm naive, so I should thank them for spreading the word."

That’s settled.

There was laughter and joy in the corner courtyard, and there was no trace of gloom due to the confinement.

The girl sent by Shen Yao to gather information walked around outside for several times, thinking she had misheard.

Why is there no crying? Why is there no sighing?

When he went back and told Shen Yao about it, Shen Yao was also puzzled and went to find Zhao.

Zhao was sulking in the room.

Shen Zhaojiang just told her that the Fang family would go to the Bailin Temple in Qingyun Mountain in a few days to pray for Fang's soul, and the Duke of Wei's Mansion would also go, so he asked her to prepare to go along and not to be impolite.

After that, he went out.

But it made her very angry.

It was outrageous enough that she, a second wife, was preparing a sacrifice for the ex-wife, but he even solemnly warned her not to be impolite.

Screw his ancestors.

When Shen Yao came in, she saw that her mother's face was ashen and her lips were trembling.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Are you angry with that bitch?"

She never called Shen Li's name, and Zhao Shi would have been fine with it, but today she frowned.

Considering the change in Shen Zhaojiang's attitude towards Fang, it's no surprise that it was because of Fang Yao.

Then she thought about how even Duke Wei was beaten up by Fang Yao, and how the Duke's wife didn't dare to show any displeasure in front of the Lan family, and her heart suddenly became gloomy.

Everyone knows Fang Yao's status in front of the emperor. How could Shen Zhaojiang, a guy who flatters the powerful and looks down on the weak, not rush to make friends with him?

If he heard his daughter calling Shen Li, he was afraid of offending Fang Yao and would have to scold his daughter again.

"Don't call her that in the future," Zhao took Shen Yao's hand and coaxed her patiently, "Your father will be unhappy if he hears it, and people outside will laugh at you if they hear it. It's not worth it."

"I don't." Shen Yao had been spoiled since she was a child, so how could she accept it? She twisted her body and said unhappily, "I don't want to call her elder sister. Who the hell is she? Humph."

"Be obedient," Zhao was overwhelmed when she saw her daughter was so disobedient. "Mother is doing this for your own good. When has mother ever harmed you?"

Shen Yao pouted. Her mother had never harmed her, but why did she have to call that bitch "elder sister"?

Zhao rubbed her forehead, looking exhausted. "The Empress's Peach Blossom Banquet is almost here, and rumors are circulating that the Emperor and Empress want to use this opportunity to select concubines for the princes. At this critical juncture, do you want people to call you unruly and willful, or do you want people to call you well-educated and well-mannered?"

She heard the news when she returned to her parents' home, otherwise her sister would not have sent her daughter to Beijing in such a hurry.

"Your cousin Wen has also come to Beijing and is staying with your uncle. Your grandmother just sent a letter asking you to stay over for a few days, saying you haven't seen each other for three years and it's a good opportunity to have some fun together."

Wen family cousin?

A beautiful figure who always smiled appeared in Shen Yao's mind, and she couldn't help but shiver.

"Mom, do you still remember what I said?"

Zhao looked at her daughter in confusion, "What's the matter?"

"It's Wen Wanying. Don't be fooled by her gentle appearance. She's very cruel behind the scenes. I secretly saw her punishing a girl. She sewed her mouth with a needle and even burned her hair with fire. I told you this before. Have you forgotten?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao quickly covered her mouth and motioned for Madam Zhou to go outside and see if anyone was around. "Child, didn't mother tell you not to mention this again? How could you forget again?"

"I haven't forgotten, mother. I just don't want to live with my grandmother and my cousin." Shen Yao shook Zhao's arm, her face full of rejection. "Every time I get into trouble, even if it's her fault, everyone thinks it's my fault. If she wants, let her stay here for a few days. I won't go anyway."

The shadow of Wen Wanying also appeared in front of Zhao's eyes.

The child has been quiet and calm since he was young, but he has a hot face and a bad heart.

During that period, she wrote to her sister. When her sister learned that Shen Li was going to Beijing and that she wanted to deal with Shen Li on the way, she immediately wrote back and asked Wanying to help.

At that time, she was still skeptical. What could a girl do no matter how powerful she was?

Unexpectedly, Mother Li came back and said that Miss Wanying had sent messages back and forth along the way. The two carriages were only a short distance apart, and Wanying deliberately followed behind.

Every time they went to a place, the Wen family's carriage would go there to check if there were any problems.

Wanying said that this was to prepare for any eventuality. If Mother Li's poisoning plan failed, she would be ready to show up at any time.

She could even imagine what would happen if she failed and how to deal with it.

His meticulous thinking was so meticulous that even Mother Li felt inferior to him.

Zhao was in a state of confusion. Looking at her daughter's face, she didn't know what to say for a moment.

I protected my daughter too much, but now it seems that was a mistake.

She would like her daughter to have more interaction with Wanying. Even if she can't learn the essence, at least she can learn some basics.

So she patiently advised, "Go ahead, I'll ask Mother Li to go with you and keep an eye on you. No one can bully you."

Shen Yao was about to object when Zhao said, "Every time you go to Beijing, your aunt brings you a lot of gifts. Don't you want them?"

When she heard about the gift, Shen Yao stopped talking.

My uncle is from Jiangnan, and the family has so much money that it just flows out. Every time my aunt brings me a gift, it's something she's never seen before, so how could she refuse it?

"Okay, how about my daughter stay there for two days?" Shen Yao compromised for the sake of the gift. "Then I'll go back and pack my things and go later."

Shen Yao went back.

Zhao's inner confusion did not lessen at all. She thought of what Shen Zhaojiang had just said, Fang Yao, and then Shen Li.

Her eyes lit up and she hurriedly called out, "Madame Zhou, come in."

Nanny Zhou came in.

Zhao waved her hand and asked her to come over. "Send someone smart to the vicinity of the General of the Cavalry's residence and find a chance to let the Fang family know..."

Shen Zhaojiang wanted to be friends with Fang Yao, but she refused to let him do so.

If Fang Yao can beat up Duke Wei for Shen Li, he can also beat up Shen Zhaojiang for Shen Li.

It would be better to beat her so that she won’t have any contact with him for the rest of her life, so that she won’t be upset.
