Jiayou's seventeenth year.
The biting cold wind passed through the end of the corridor, white lanterns and mourning flags swayed on the ground, and the window edges rang loudly.
Shen Hua, dressed in white and plain silk, knelt in front of the soul.
A high-pitched voice came to my ears.
"Your father is a cruel man, and he will be gone if he doesn't. Shen Hua, just sleep well in front of me, and you will have a bite to eat."
Stepmother Shen Xue's eyes were filled with joy, and she stood condescendingly aside, pretending to cry harshly a few times, but she did not feel the pain of losing her husband.
When Shen Wei was around, she pretended to be virtuous and played the role of a loving mother every day, but Shen Hua still didn't get close to her, and she didn't get a word of kindness from Shen Wei.
Now she is able to take control of the center and be the master of the family. This is a great thing.
Shen Hua's eyes trembled, still burning the paper money, and watched without blinking as it was swallowed up by the fire and turned into ashes.
Unable to respond, Shen Xue became furious and stretched out her fingertips to poke Shen Hua's thin back.
"I'm deaf when I talk to you, aren't I?"
Shen Hua's body was so weak that she almost fell to the ground. Cold sweat dripped from her forehead, and the corners of her white lips were pursed tightly.
When Shen Xue saw this, the turbid energy in his heart turned into joy.
"A sick seedling that is hung up with good medicinal materials, your father will be your treasure."
It's not up to her to control it now.
Shen Hua stood up with difficulty and looked directly into Shen Xue's eyes. The corners of her white lips raised upwards with a faint and cold smile.
"Since my stepmother entered the family, I have never received any sympathy from my father. Until now, I have nothing to do and no children. It is inevitable to have resentments."
This is Shen Xue’s pain point!
"you!"
"My father left in a hurry. I just regret that our first wife has no male son. I heard that my stepmother is planning to adopt the second wife's bastard?"
Her tone was calm, without any ups and downs. Her dark eyes seemed to hide a sadness that others could not understand.
Mrs. Shen Xue was shocked and stared at this girl who had not yet had hairpins.
Shen Hua knew very well what Shen Xue's plan was.
After Shen Wei left, the Shen Xue family wanted an heir.
But she just didn't understand why Shen Qu was chosen as the second wife, who was one year older than her.
Mrs. Shen Xue looked at her sideways and said impatiently: "If you don't continue, who will give your father a funeral? Is it possible that the family will be cut off from the family?"
Shenhua took the fragrant handkerchief from her sleeve, and the pattern sewn on it was magnolia. It was indeed the color she had only liked three years ago.
She was stunned for a few seconds before wiping the cold sweat from her forehead. She opened her thin lips lightly and said three words, but they were loud and clear.
"I don't allow it."
It's really a turn of events.
"What did you say?"
Shen Xue rolled her eyes angrily.
"This is what the Shen clan has agreed with me! The second wife also agreed, so why are you here to dictate?"
"It's a shame that your father loves you so much, but he doesn't want to be just a white-eyed wolf!"
"Shen Hua, you are married to someone else. In a few years, you will be the wife of the He family. How about the Shen family? What can I do with you?"
Shen Hua was exhausted physically and mentally, but patiently listened to her loud voice.
Her attitude was really weird. It wasn't until she heard about the He family that disgust and rejection flashed across her eyes.
The woman looked sick, but her back was straight.
"After my grandma left, my second uncle married a rich man from the state magistrate's house. He ignored my dad's advice and insisted on dividing the family. He was afraid that our eldest family would be blessed by him."
Later, Shen Wei also succeeded and made a fortune in the embroidery business with his business acumen. He became the richest merchant in Fengzhou.
"But what about my second uncle? He has no fame, but he maintains his aloofness. He looks down on merchants and even dislikes my father for smelling like copper. But these years, when he is short of money, he has always looked for his father and never returned it. How can such a despicable and scoundrel person be like that? You know what his wishful thinking is!"
And Shen Qu is now fifteen, already at the age of a governor. If he comes in, the first house's family property will fall into the hands of the second house one day.
Shen Hua added in a sincere tone: "It doesn't matter if you can't find a son who is young and doesn't remember things in the collateral branch. Even if he comes out of the fifth server, he is from the same clan and the same clan. Anyone is more suitable than Shen Qu."
She hoped that Mr. Shen Xue would change her mind. While the family tree had not been changed, there was no certainty.
After all, no matter how different she and Shen Xue are from each other, the female relatives of the eldest family should be on the same boat on this matter.
Mr. Shen Xue was slightly startled. She didn't know whether it was because of a guilty conscience or because she was unprepared.
Immediately, an unknown fire broke out.
"Are you teaching me how to do things?"
"I just hope my stepmother will think twice."
Shen Hua looked at her quietly. But even if she was accused of harm, she was just a girl without hair. She was really weak and weak.
As expected, Mrs. Shen Xue waved her hand: "I think the lady is sick and confused, please suppress her."
Before Shen Wei was laid to rest, Shen Xue couldn't wait and took all the people from her mother's family over.
The nephew of the Xue family kept leaning towards Shen Hua with his fat face. This shows what he was thinking.
As soon as the servants in the house saw the changes in the Shen family, they immediately changed their faces and followed the wind, obeying the instructions of Mrs. Shen Xue.
Seeing that the entire Shen family is going to be named Xue!
She gave the order, and the four or five wives took the order and headed towards Shen Hua. They couldn't help but pick up the most noble lady in the past.
Shen Hua was so weak that she couldn't struggle at all and could only be dragged away. Soon, she was thrown out of the mourning hall.
"Lady!"
The maid Yicui, who was anxious outside but unable to enter the hall, exclaimed and rushed forward to help him.
Her face turned red with anger, and when she saw the mark on Shen Hua's wrist, she wanted to scold these insignificant women.
Shen Hua weakly leaned against Yi Cui: "Go back first."
Her headache was about to explode.
The complicated thoughts were like a dense net, binding her mercilessly.
Those pictures appeared in front of her frame by frame, including the villainous success of her second uncle Shen Hewen, the wolfish ambition of Shen Qu, and the ruthlessness of He Chu, the eldest son of the He family who was engaged to her.
What's more, she was sent by Shen Hewen to serve her father-in-law, a state judge, and she became so angry that she vomited blood and died.
But she went back to three years ago. None of this happened yet, but it was about to happen again.
Yi Cui helped Shen Hua back to the courtyard and helped her get on the bed to rest.
Through the curtain hanging to the floor, one could vaguely see the frail figure of the woman on the bed. Shen Hua on the bed was so fragile that it seemed as if she could break at the touch of a touch. And her situation would probably become even more difficult.
Her vision was blurred, as if she remembered the unforgivable end of life where she relied on Cui Cui.
In order to protect her, Yicui was raped by the state judge Zhu Zheng.
But at that time, Yicui was obviously about to get married.
Shen Hua stood up, her throat was extremely dry and itchy, and she couldn't stop coughing.
Seeing this, Yicui quickly fetched another glass of warm water.
Shen Hua took a few sips of water to absorb some warmth, then she hugged the brocade quilt tightly and looked around with a confused expression, but she did not see any other slaves serving in the courtyard.
Yi Cui, who noticed Shen Hua's movements, became so angry that her eyes turned red and she stamped her feet.
"Those outsiders are all going to the step-wife's courtyard to show their courtesy."
