Chapter 81 - ward off arrows
The atmosphere froze for a moment.
Bai Yinhua lowered his head and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes silently, and let out a slight sob, not heavy, and it happened to be able to reach the ears of the rest of the people present in the exceptionally quiet now.
Bai Chu’s eyes flashed, and he glanced at her with a chuckle, then got up and looked at Shen Yuzhi who was standing awkwardly outside the door frame, as if nothing had happened: “Third brother, why are you here?”
Shen Yuzhi really didn’t expect that he would bump into Zhang Shi and Bai Yinhua. In fact, as soon as he came back, he went straight to Wutong Courtyard, ignoring the greetings of people along the road, and walked in the door familiarly. No one had time to tell him about the guests here.
It would be fine if it was someone else, but it was Bai Yinhua.
Shen Yuzhi glanced hesitantly and wiped away tears, but she just happened to reveal the graceful and graceful profile of Bai Yinhua in his sight, neither entering nor retreating.
“It’s not the right time for me to come,” he was worried that Bai Chu would still care about his past engagement with Bai Yinhua, worried that she would misunderstand, and his voice sounded softer, “I’ll go to Mo Tangxuan to wait for you first, and wait for the guests to leave. Now, you ordered someone to come and tell me, and we will have dinner together in the evening.”
Saying that, he politely nodded at Mrs. Zhang who was looking over, and decided to leave after taking a step back.
Bai Yinhua twisted the handkerchief harder, and her drooping eyelashes, which were still dripping with tears, covered the darkness that filled the bottom of her eyes.
Even though she was already prepared in her heart, in the end, Shen Yuzhi was the one who let her taste love for the first time. He cared for her, loved her dearly since he was a child, and Bai Yinhua’s family background could not be used in the capital. Among the girls of the same age, they enjoy a sense of superiority, relying on Shen Yuzhi’s unique value and love.
But now, this silent thoughtfulness and meticulous thoughtfulness have all been given to another person, the bleak woman who was suppressed by her in the past.
How could she be reconciled!
“etc.”
As soon as this voice sounded, Bai Yinhua was startled first, almost thinking that she couldn’t help calling out to Shen Yuzhi, and when she looked up, she realized that it was Bai Chu.
Bai Chu got up slowly, and his eyes like picking petals were full of brilliance, making people unable to see the true hidden emotions in them.
“Third brother, you came just in time, and elder sister was just about to ask me to speak to you.” Bai Chu said softly, “Since you are here, let elder sister speak to you herself.”
After speaking, she lowered her head to meet Bai Yinhua’s stunned gaze, and a faint smile appeared on her lips.
Bai Yinhua’s hand under his cuff clenched his fist tightly, and his perfectly trimmed nails were embedded in the palm of his hand, causing a slight tingling.
Mrs. Zhang, who was on the side, did not understand the tumultuous thoughts in her heart. In her opinion, Shen Yuzhi and Bai Yinhua were always inseparable, and the friendship was still there. Begging him was more useful and dignified than begging Bai Chu. ?
“Yuzhi, auntie will call you like this again at the end,” thinking of the scene of Bai Yinhua’s grievance and tears just now, the tears in Zhang’s eyes naturally fell, “Yinhua, she, her life is miserable…”
Shen Yuzhi only felt that her cold sweat was about to break down, thinking that Mrs. Zhang was an elder, she stopped in the end, and said warmly: “Mrs Bai, you are Chu Hua’s mother, if you have anything to do with her, just tell her if you have the power. Yes, our husband and wife will naturally not push back.”
Hearing the word “husband and wife”, Zhang’s heart was half cold.
Damn, what means did that little **** use to actually win over Shen Yuzhi?
Bai Chu glanced at Shen Yu with a slightly surprised look. His temperament is gentle and kind, and he is not good at rejecting people close to him. How can he say that he also regarded Zhang as a future mother-in-law and respected him in the past. Can you refuse so bluntly?
Not to mention them, Bai Yinhua felt like she was in a dream. When she was a child, her brows were wrinkled, and Shen Yuzhi seemed to have encountered a major event, and hurriedly came to comfort her, but now, her tears were almost wet With a whole veil, Shen Yuzhi remained unmoved, busy with her mother.
Do men’s hearts become so fast?
Bai Yinhua’s clenched fist slowly let go, instead he made up his mind, his expression gradually turned calm, and then he showed a proper smile: “No, I disturbed the third young master and sister to get along, mother, let’s go back first. .”
Why are you going back? Zhang Shi refused, and turned around to meet Bai Yinhua’s red eyes, and the ruthlessness revealed from them. After all, he obeyed her intentions, but before leaving, he didn’t forget to give Bai Chu a veiled glance.
When the two of them left with each other’s arms, Bai Chu smiled and looked up at Shen Yuzhi, “What did the third brother hear outside?”
Shen Yuzhi also breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, entered the room and sat down opposite her: “Why do you ask that?”
But if you ask such a question, it means that you have already said it.
Bai Chu smiled and answered the question: “How much did you hear outside?”
Shen Yuzhi looked up at her unconsciously, and looked at her with an expression that didn’t seem to be angry, “I didn’t mean to eavesdrop…” These words were a little guilty. At first, I heard that it was Mrs. Zhang who was talking to Bai Chu inside. Mother and daughter, he was really surprised for a long time. As for why he forgot to leave and turned into eavesdropping, Shen Yuzhi coughed lightly and subconsciously ignored it.
Bai Chu really wasn’t very angry, and asked him jokingly: “The third brother, didn’t you hear how much on purpose?”
She highlighted the added attribute, full of ridicule.
A look of embarrassment appeared on Shen Yuzhi’s face, and she answered honestly, “I heard someone else’s voice in your room, and I was about to back away, but suddenly someone shouted ‘presumptuous’, I’m worried it was There was a conflict, so I stayed outside the door.”
When he saw the person, he also guessed that the voice belonged to the Zhang family. She was an elder, so it was not good to discuss right and wrong behind her back.
It’s just that he was still somewhat angry, so he just called Mrs. Zhang the cold and distant “Mrs. Bai”, not the “auntie” he used to call him, nor the “mother-in-law” in his name.
Shen Yuzhi’s eyes were clear and gentle, and there was a hint of consolation in her tone: “Mrs. Bai is also concerned, but she is confused, and she doesn’t choose what to say. Don’t worry too much.”
Bai Chu was stunned for a moment, only to realize that in his impression, she and Bai Yinhua were still good sisters who loved each other, she curled her lips and smiled, “My sister is her own daughter, so she naturally cares and loves more. , I have always been like this since I was a child, if I had cared about it, I would have suffocated myself to death.”
Don’t talk about her, even the original owner didn’t expect that Zhang shi would be sincere to her one day.
Shen Yuzhi’s living environment has been exceptionally clean and smooth since she was a child, so when she saw Bai Chuhua, who was always behind Bai Yinhua, she was just like most people, she just thought that her natural temperament was like this, cowardly, introverted, and unkind. words.
But it wasn’t until she married into the Shen residence that Shen Yuzhi realized that she was very different from what she had imagined. Everyone is beautiful, but it is this uniqueness that is particularly dazzling, and you can’t forget it at first sight.
At least she was standing with Bai Yinhua, and she shouldn’t be the one who was ignored.
Shen Yuzhi wasn’t so naive that she didn’t know that her first-born mother might suppress her concubine children, but she was very surprised when she placed it on the elders who used to be close and familiar with.
After all, to Bai Yinhua, Mrs. Zhang can be said to be a model of a loving mother.
Shen Yuzhi didn’t know why, but a little discomfort poured into her heart, and she didn’t want to let her continue to be trapped in her past memories, so she said: “Chu Hua, if there is an uninvited guest next time, you can tell Lanxi and let him Just go and say no.”
Zhang Shi still has filial piety to suppress Bai Chu, but he is different, at least those gossips don’t dare to touch him.
Bai Chu smiled and nodded: “Thank you third brother.”
“But if it wasn’t for the fact that I was in trouble and couldn’t ask for help, my mother wouldn’t be willing to speak to me with her face down.”
They were worried that Prince An would not be able to take responsibility for Bai Yinhua for a short time with Princess An. After two years of delay, current events would change, and no matter how strong the relationship was, it would gradually fade away.
Bai Chu raised his eyes and looked at Shen Yuzhi: “You must have heard the third brother, the eldest sister thought, and asked for it on your head.”
Shen Yuzhi couldn’t help but remembered when Shen Yongzhi asked him if Bai Yinhua came to ask for help again, whether he should or should not.
Facing Bai Chu’s gaze, he felt somewhat guilty, “Actually, there is no need for others to intervene. King An has already entered the palace and asked His Majesty to marry Bai Yinhua’s flat wife.”
Bai Chu was so surprised that he almost choked on his own saliva: “What? Flat wife?”
Counting 500 years forward, plus the 5,000 years of her previous life, I have never heard of any dynasty’s royal family who could have an equal wife.
“Isn’t Wang An just breaking the jar?”
Shen Yuzhi said: “No, he was forced into another trick.”
Because of the incident of the Shen family’s daughter-in-law in danger in the suburbs of Beijing, An Wang’s dark forces that had been hiding for many years were finally opened up. Although he resolutely cut off his tail to survive, there were too many eyes on him.
On the bright side, the Yin of Beijing, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Dali Temple are fairly easy to deal with. They are all smart, sleek and shrewd. Anyway, the saint didn’t give an order to die, so it’s just a matter of grabbing the bandits and giving the Shen family an explanation.
But secretly, the forces of various factions swarmed from all directions. King An’s two fists were invincible against all four hands. He finally resisted this side, and the other side had an accident again. Who is Qing who is tirelessly tracking and targeting him.
In just half a month, King An had been forced to give up six or seven strongholds before he was able to keep the remaining forces.
Can’t go on.
Therefore, King An entered the palace in a fair and bright manner, and asked the Holy Master in front of the Taiji Hall, including his repeated requests to marry Bai Yinhua’s wife.
Bai Chu said hesitantly: “Is he trying to make things bigger, so as to cover up his secret actions?”
Shen Yuzhi nodded, “Your Majesty, Shengming, will not promise the royal family an equal wife.”
This place really has a throne to inherit!
It is said that the eldest son can be born or not depends on his life, but the heir can be manipulated the day after tomorrow.
Today, the prince’s family has a flat wife, and tomorrow the queen’s position may be divided into two halves.
Bai Chu also knew that the emperor would not agree, she was just amazed that the male and female protagonists who were deeply in love could still use each other one day.
She knew Bai Yinhua’s heart and utilitarianism, but Wang An was willing to use the **** the top of his heart to block arrows. Sure enough, the male protagonist’s love brain is not a pure love brain. If it really involves himself, he should use it. Still able to start.
Bai Chu was a little curious: “Third brother, where did you hear about this?” She remembered that he had just come back from outside, and the people in the palace were always aware of it, and neither did King An. So willing to go out, “Are you going to see the Fourth Highness when you leave the house today?”
“No,” Shen Yuzhi paused for a moment, and her expression gradually became complicated, “There is something wrong with the Fourth Highness, and Wang Xiu told me.”
“Wang… Xiu Ze?” The name was already unfamiliar to Bai Chu, “I remember, your relationship doesn’t seem to be very good?”
“It just happened to happen.” Shen Yu’s words were unclear, and he obviously didn’t want to talk about it.
Bai Chu smiled and didn’t force it, “But third brother, you have such a good temperament, it’s quite novel to meet someone with a bad relationship.”
Shen Yuzhi’s face softened, and she said with a smile, “I was ignorant when I was young.”
When he grows up, he will know that if he really doesn’t like someone, he can just avoid it.
To say how much he hates Wang Xiuze is not enough. The two went to school in the same place when they were young. Shen Yuzhi was known as a child prodigy, and Wang Xiuze was even worse than him. in learning the right way.
In the eyes of everyone, the son of a noble family with a clear breeze, but in Shen Yuzhi’s eyes, he is deceitful and unpredictable.
When I was young, I felt that Wang Xiu was hypocritical and disdain to befriend him. Now I still don’t like him, but I can ignore him indifferently.
