Chapter 57 Don’t talk about the dilemma of loyalty
The night was frosty and there were few people on the street.
The bustling Shengjing rarely fell into silence early. The dazzling firelight in the opera garden made a crackling sound.
Shen Hua surrounded the charcoal basin and rewarded each person with a gold ingot.
"Unexpectedly, that little girl is the daughter of the world-famous Mr. Cui."
Shen Hua was not interested, but she still asked.
"Is Mr. Cui famous?"
"The eldest son of Cui, Wen Neng, debated in front of the sage, and Wu Neng fought hard to kill the enemy. Before he married, all the girls in the world would have been slaves. It is said that the two sons of the Cui family are like jade and peerless. Lord Cui lived up to his name, and his daughter was like her father. The appearance of the young princess is hard to find, so it can be seen that the eldest son will never be any worse than Lord Cui."
As she spoke, she sighed slightly.
"But at the end of the day, he married an unknown girl. The whole world was in an uproar. Maybe I don't know that the little princess was not born when the eldest son passed away. She has not had a father since she was a child, so the little princess is very pitiful."
Shen Hua picked up the hot wine, raised her little finger proudly, and blew again.
Have a few sips.
"It's no wonder that the whole family loves this brat."
She lowered her eyes: "You should also pamper her."
How about being more arrogant? How many girls are qualified to be arrogant?
As long as his nature is not bad, how can a person like Cui Yun be willing to raise the daughter left behind by his brother?
In one aspect, he is very similar to Shen Pheasant. But in terms of innocuous things, he just wants to make the little girl's life better and better.
The firelight flickered, and Shen Hua was thoughtful. She drank all the concoction. Thinking of the brat's arrogance, she couldn't help laughing.
Yi Cui saw the tired look on Shen Hua's eyebrows and said hurriedly: "Madam, if you are sleepy, why don't you go and have a rest? I have several servants here to watch over you, and I will definitely wish you a safe and smooth life."
Shen Hua frowned.
"I always feel..."
She paused, and her voice gradually dissipated. Finally, it became silent.
"A little uneasy."
This emotion was strong and disappeared quickly. She didn't pay attention to it, got up and walked slowly towards the house.
After washing up and getting on the soft couch, Shen Hua hugged the rabbit doll left by her biological mother and buried her head in it as usual, having a good night's sleep.
But the usually quiet alleys became unusually noisy when the ray of morning light swept across the land.
The opera garden is big, no matter how loud the noise is, it is difficult to disturb Shen Hua, who is sleeping peacefully. When she woke up and stood up, she just went to sit down in the small courtyard when she heard someone knocking on the door hurriedly.
Yi Cui hurriedly stepped forward.
It was Sister-in-law Wang. She looked solemn.
"Sister-in-law Yan disappeared last night."
Yicui has no relationship with Sister-in-law Yan, and there are a lot of gossips about her. After all, she has a sense of contempt for this woman who is unclear about her father-in-law.
However, no matter what, it is still a human life.
Sister-in-law Wang frowned: "The funeral flags have been hung outside the Yan family. It is really taboo to see someone die on this day."
"My wife is pregnant, please don't go out today, lest she encounter something unlucky."
Shen Hua was slightly startled.
oh.
She almost forgot that she was a poor woman whose husband had died.
As Sister-in-law Wang spoke, she couldn't help but sigh a few words.
"Although she has bad conduct, she is always polite every time she meets people. Who would have expected that she would be gone overnight."
"When she first married into the Yan family, she laughed at everyone she met. Who would have thought that she would not be able to live a good life. I have never seen her suffer from any serious illness. As for me, it is because I have no shame in living, and Yan Xiong is also in misery. Such a lady can still manage her funeral in a decent manner."
This morning, I was still crying when she caught me.
And Yan's father is more like a lost soul.
It's really ridiculous.
Shen Hua has too much time to take care of other people's affairs and will not interfere in them.
Even if the people who serve her look down on what Sister-in-law Yan does, they are all well-behaved and will not criticize her.
Cheng's mother has experienced ups and downs and always thinks more about things when she encounters them. After Sister-in-law Wang left.
"Madam, I'm afraid there is another hidden reason behind this matter. Sister-in-law Yan showed no signs of seeking death yesterday."
and,
Everyone said that Yan Xiong was an honest man, but that was not always the case.
Not to mention the dilemma of loyalty and righteousness, he couldn't do anything to his biological father.
You must know that no matter how honest a man is, he has a bloody nature and cannot allow the person next to him to have an affair with another man, let alone the biological father.
But Yan Xiong's only outlet was drunken beatings and scoldings. When he woke up from drunkenness, he even bought medicine for Mrs. Yan's injuries.
Shen Hua's voice is light, with a calmness and stability that should not be present at this age.
"Sister-in-law Yan lived in Yanhualiu Lane. Some of the people there are those who look down upon life and death to the point of despising themselves. They have long been accustomed to selling their bodies and therefore drift with the crowd. The other are those who rely on their faith and use chastity to get ahead."
Although Shen Hua doesn't know which category Sister-in-law Yan belongs to.
But no matter what, these two types of people will not seek death for no reason.
No matter how difficult it is, you can get through it, right?
Seeing that Shen Hua's tone was still firm, Ningzhu was shocked: "How did the lady know that she was from Yanhualiuxiang?"
However, as soon as these words came out, Cheng’s mother scolded her.
"Don't talk too much."
It's not surprising that she is like this. In fact, serious ladies are extremely taboo about talking about these things.
Regardless of whether what Shen Hua said is true or not, she really knows something. A slave should be cautious in her words and deeds, and should not even try to dissuade her as much as possible. She should never ask more questions.
In Fengzhou, my wife had a friendship with the Sheng'er Hua Niang who was an excellent ventriloquist. Although Cheng's mother felt that something was wrong, Shen Hua didn't want to mention it more, so she didn't ask any more questions.
The more you ask, the more you make.
Ningzhu quickly shut up and lowered her head.
"It's not worth anything."
Shen Hua really didn't care.
"The most popular place for fireworks in Shengjing is 'Yan Guifang'. Women in the city eat and drink as much as women in the boudoir. They are proficient in poetry, lyrics and songs. Their skin is creamy and their figure is graceful."
"Compared with other flower houses, Yan Guifang is more elegant."
Let me ask, which man wouldn’t yearn for a flower house like this?
After having tasted such a flower girl, how can I look down on the rouge powder elsewhere.
Shen Hua's vision flashed with confusion for a moment.
"I remember……"
She let out a long breath.
His expression could not have been lighter, and his tone had no emotion at all.
"The girls of Yan Guifang will have an extremely beautiful plum blossom imprinted on their wrists from the moment they enter the place."
That day, Sister-in-law Yan's sleeves slid up, and she accidentally saw the familiar yet nightmare-like plum blossom beneath the scars.
Yes, so why isn’t it a nightmare?
That was a past she didn't want to recall.
In his previous life, after Shen Qu broke up with her, he specially found someone to tell her to behave.
It's better to say it's a bed matter than a rule.
Shen Qu wanted to train Shen Hua, his stepsister, and send her to the state magistrate's bed where he was supposed to call his maternal grandfather.
The person she found was the nun from Yan Guifang.
"My wife is not in good health, but from the old slave's point of view, she is very good. Men like this kind of girl who is as weak as a willow."
"You, don't worry and learn from me, don't be cunning. There are so many girls who hate me, but there are so many men to serve. Everyone will taste the benefits based on their abilities, and they will have to thank me later."
