Chapter 189: Remove dead branches and cultivate new branches
Le An Ning sighed and said, "For the prosperity and safety of the Shi family, we have no choice. Yes, for the sake of the future generations of the Shi family, we must stop Shi Mingzhu from marrying into the royal family!
As for sincerity, I can reveal one or two things to you. The first is that Fengzhou was hit by a flood, Shi Mingzhen was reselling grain, and the censor was ready to collect all the evidence and impeach him.
As for the second thing, I originally wanted to tell you some time ago, but I could never find a chance to talk to you, as there were always things that delayed me - it was the matter of 'copying poems'.
In my previous life, my second sister was a talented lady famous in the capital. Many young men admired her articles and poems, and there were so many people who came to propose marriage to her.
Unfortunately, my good mother-in-law always found one excuse or another to gossip in front of the old lady, saying that the young man had this or that problem and was not suitable, so she rejected them all.
Finally, the second sister took a risk and tried to curry favor with the Fifth Prince. However, the Fifth Prince only had Shi Mingzhu in his heart and did not take his sister seriously. As a result, the sister's reputation was ruined, and she could only marry an old man in a hurry.
In the previous life of your sixth sister-in-law, your second sister was even more miserable. She also wrote poems, but she did not become a talented woman. Instead, she was branded as a "plagiarist". She was also involved with the Fourth Prince, which led to Shi Mingzhu breaking off the engagement with him and marrying the Fifth Prince instead.
The reason is that someone has already compiled the poems written by my second sister into a collection and shown it to others. If I'm not mistaken, this is a trap set by Shi Mingzhu for you - my sister didn't write a poem today, which really made me sweat for you.
The Fourth Prince hates the Second Sister very much, and only has Shi Mingzhu in his heart. The Second Sister lost her innocence in the previous life, and the Fourth Prince was unwilling to marry you. The men in the mansion almost executed you to preserve the family's dignity.
It was because of the old lady's plea that she was able to save her life. In the end, the second sister was promised to a playboy as a concubine and died a violent death.
This is exactly the third thing I want to tell my second sister: Shi Mingzhu is about to get engaged to the Fourth Prince, and she absolutely does not want to marry the Fourth Prince. I am afraid that she will frame my sister for having an affair with the Fourth Prince so that she can reject the marriage. If I am not mistaken, it will be at the old man’s birthday banquet. "
Shi Yao's mind was in a mess and she quickly sorted out the information.
Seeing that the Fourth Prince wanted to marry Shi Mingzhu even after being slapped in the face today, it must be that the Fourth Prince truly loves Shi Mingzhu.
In this life, she returned to Beijing four or five years later, and she did not "interfere" or "steal the prince's love". The Fourth Prince did not "secretly" have an affair with her, but fell in love with Shi Mingzhu directly.
Invisibly, corresponding to the original plot, after Shi Mingzhu broke off the engagement, the fourth prince chased his wife to the crematorium.
Shi Yao smiled and thanked him, then asked, "How did my sisters-in-law know that I was beheaded in my previous life? Could it be that if I died in a dream, I could continue to dream about what happened after death?"
Le An Ning almost wanted to applaud: "Second sister is so smart! It was the eldest sister-in-law. After her death, her resentment did not dissipate. She turned into a ghost and heard the news that the fifth prince took the throne from the fourth prince and killed you..."
He went on and on, and once again brought up Shi Mingzhu, Wang Fan's previous life, and looked down on her, saying that she was trying to climb up the social ladder, dreaming of becoming the queen, and clinging to the future emperor, the fifth prince.
Shi Yao finally understood.
After Shi Mingzhu died, she turned into a ghost and was trapped in the palace. After Fu Nanjun died, he also turned into a ghost. He probably followed Shi Mingwu, the only person who escaped beheading. He could only stay outside the palace and could not enter the palace which was protected by dragon energy.
The two female ghosts should not have met each other, otherwise Fu Nanjun and Shi Mingzhu would have revealed themselves during the last showdown in Lanpei Courtyard.
Le An Ning was indignant and jealous: "...What right did your elder sister have? She died, and the Fifth Prince married her corpse. What's so good about her?
In the end, for her, he refused to marry or take concubines, and became a crazy tyrant, killing palace maids, eunuchs, imperial doctors, ministers, and guards.
Fortunately, he did not have a good end. I heard that the palace maids and eunuchs strangled him to death while he was drunk and crazy."
At the end, Le Anning laughed heartily.
Shi Yao was a little scared because her second sister-in-law was not very emotionally stable.
"Second sister-in-law, you just said that Sixth Brother and Sixth Sister-in-law had no children in their previous lives?"
Le An Ning nodded, and then turned to scold Shi Mingmo: "...It was this bastard who couldn't give birth, and he blamed it on your sixth sister-in-law. He caused your sixth sister-in-law to take fertility drugs for many years, which ruined her body and caused her to die young..."
Shi Yao seemed to be thinking about something.
That's not right. In the original text, in the second life, Shi Mingzhu made a lot of efforts and recruited famous doctors from all over the world. Wang Fan and Shi Mingmo had a child.
Why did Wang Fan say that she didn’t have any children?
No matter how much you hate Shi Mingmo, you can't hate that hard-earned child Shi Yunx as much as you can, right?
Looking at Wang Fan's attitude, she was going to expose the truth about Shi Mingmo's infertility, and then just walk away with a divorce.
Shi Yao thought about it so hard that it gave her a headache, but she still couldn't figure it out.
What went wrong?
Which life did Wang Fan come back from?
Third sister-in-law Tao Ziyi was also reborn, maybe she knows something.
By this time, we had arrived at Tangxi Courtyard.
Fu Nanjun and Wang Fan were also there.
Wang Fan was now much calmer than before, with a hint of fire in his eyes amidst the vicissitudes of life.
It is the flame of desperate destruction, and also the flame of hope to escape from the cage.
The four aunts and sisters-in-law greeted each other. As there were maids serving in the room, it was not convenient to talk about their past lives.
Fu Nanjun asked in detail about what he saw and heard at the villa today, and Shi Yao answered one by one.
Finally, Fu Nanjun sighed, "There are too many termites in the boat, and it's full of holes. And those termites who eat the boat are at the helm. I'm afraid it will sink sooner or later. The eldest sister's marriage should be settled, and the second sister's marriage should also be settled soon."
Having said that, Fu Nanjun was not too worried.
Several generations of the Shi family were doomed to fail, but as long as the Shi family did not rebel, did not participate in the princes' factional struggles, did not commit major mistakes, and kept making minor ones, their titles would not be revoked.
Although it seems that the Shi family's ship is about to sink, it is actually a good thing, because the Shi family has lost the emperor's favor and can no longer participate in the fight for the throne among the princes.
This is a big mistake that cannot be made.
As long as she retains the title, the Shi family will have a place in the Northwest Army. When her son inherits the title in the future, and her descendants work hard for two generations and make great achievements, the Shi family will become glorious again.
What they have to do next is to continue to drag their feet and knock down those men who want to make Shi Mingzhu the queen one by one. By removing the dead branches and cultivating the new branches, their descendants can be safe.
However, the Duke's Mansion is now notorious, and Shi Yao, an unengaged girl, has the misfortune to be caught up in this time, and it is really difficult for her to get married.
Shi Yao said shyly, "My marriage is decided by the old lady."
Fu Nanjun said sympathetically, "Don't be afraid that my sister will blame me for being nosy. I just want to remind my sister that the old lady originally had her eyes on several young masters, but she didn't have time to meet them before all these things happened.
After the New Year, there was still no news, so I was afraid that no one would dare to come to my house.
Getting married is a lifelong event, so please don’t be shy. If you don’t mind, the Fu family can introduce one or two to you, but their family background and status may not be comparable to the candidate that the old lady likes.”
Le An Ning was also happy to do a favor, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, second sister, the Le family is willing to introduce you."
Wang Fan said nothing.
Her family background is low, and if there is a good candidate in her family - it would be better to find a second husband for her.
