The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 183 Let Sister-in-law Be Reborn

The Shi family members followed closely and boarded the carriage, following behind the Fourth Prince's carriage from a distance. They did not dare to follow too closely, nor did they dare to lose sight of him, for fear of angering the Fourth Prince again.

Shi Mingzhen picked up Shi Mingzhu from Tao Ziyi's arms, hugged her around the waist and carried her into the carriage.

Tao Ziyi climbed up and got into the carriage, her heart pounding. It was only then that she finally realized something was wrong.

How could Shi Mingzhen, a brother and a grown man, hug his sister who had reached marriage age?

However, there are many eyes and ears outside. If the news gets out, Zhuzhu's reputation will be ruined. My husband must be too worried about Zhuzhu.

Shi Mingzhen pulled the blanket over the sleeping Shi Mingzhu, glanced at his sister's drunken face, turned around and scolded her with a sullen face: "Why did you let Zhuzhu run away?"

His eyes were stern, his tone was stern.

Tao Ziyi had never seen him so angry before. She was so frightened that her heart was beating wildly. Her mind was stunned for a moment. The grievance and fear surged to her throat and turned into sobs. She finally explained:

"Zhuzhu was about to fall asleep. I don't know if she heard the Fourth Prince's voice, but when I turned around to look for the sobering pills, she suddenly pushed me away and rushed out.

I hit my head and didn't react for a moment. When I came to my senses, I rushed out to chase her, but I didn't know this would happen! "

After she finished speaking, she covered her handkerchief and sobbed softly. She turned her head slightly and asked Shi Mingzhen to look at the other half of her face. There was a bruise on her forehead.

"Why didn't you give it to her earlier?" Shi Mingzhen was annoyed and blamed her. Then he said patiently, "Forget it. It has come to this. You have suffered too much. Go find some sobering pills."

Tao Ziyi's eyes immediately turned red.

She opened a secret compartment, fished out a small porcelain bottle, and handed it to Shi Mingzhen: "Here it is."

Shi Mingzhen poured out a pill, leaned over and coaxed her gently: "Zhuzhu, Zhuzhu, wake up, let's take a sobering pill before going to sleep."

Shi Mingzhu mumbled, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, and waved her hands feebly, as if to drive away a fly buzzing in her ear. Low mumblings flowed from her red lips:

"...I won't eat...go away...Zhou Shao...Zhou Shao...I hate you...Shi Yao...Shi Yao, you are a plagiarist, a plagiarist..."

As she spoke, she began to sob in her drunken dream, feeling depressed, sad, angry and helpless.

Those who hear it are sad and those who hear it shed tears.

Shi Mingzhen was so distressed that he clenched his fists and blamed himself, "Zhuzhu, I didn't protect you well. It's my third brother's fault. If I had known, I wouldn't have brought you out."

He coaxed her softly for a while and gently pushed his sister's shoulder, finally pushing Shi Mingzhu into a half-asleep state. She finally opened her mouth and took the sobering pill that was placed on her lips.

Tao Ziyi sat quietly, her face numb, staring blankly at her husband's fingertips touching Shi Mingzhu's lips. Her numb heart twitched violently, and it was twisted into a ball with pain, and then it was ravaged again and again.

She secretly cursed herself: Tao Ziyi, what are you thinking about? How can you be so dirty and petty? The brother loves his sister, what a warm and beautiful picture!

But why did my chest feel as if a huge rock was pressing on it, and why did tears rush out of my eyes?

After giving Shi Mingzhu a hangover pill, Shi Mingzhen adjusted Shi Mingzhu into a more comfortable position.

Seeing some blood stains on her clothes, I carefully checked and found that Shi Mingzhu's palm was scratched.

Shi Mingzhen scolded without even turning his head: "Zhuzhu's hand was injured, why didn't you tell me?"

He didn't hear his wife's answer, nor did he care, and continued to look for medicine.

He knew his wife well. She was simple, kind, virtuous and generous. She would never do anything to hurt Zhuzhu out of a little jealousy.

Shi Mingzhen found the medicine and cleaned the wound carefully. During this time, Shi Mingzhu closed her eyes and cried out in pain. He then apologized and blew on the wound until he applied the medicine and wrapped it with gauze.

After settling his sister, Shi Mingzhen's anger subsided. Although he was still troubled, he would have to wait until he returned home to discuss countermeasures with the elders. So he turned around to look at his wife and asked in a gentle voice:

"Does the bump on your forehead still hurt?"

Tao Ziyi suddenly lowered her stunned eyes and said calmly, "It hurts, why doesn't it hurt? It hurts so much that it makes my head dizzy. I want to sleep for a while. I've been frightened and scared all day, and I'm really tired. I'll go lie down in my second sister's carriage."

Tao Ziyi stood up and was about to lift the curtain when Shi Mingzhen suddenly grabbed her shoulders and said with a smile, "Are you angry with me? I was just impatient just now. I wasn't angry with you. I was angry with those girls. I'm afraid they did it on purpose to get Zhuzhu drunk and make us look bad in the Duke's Mansion."

Tao Ziyi didn't lift her eyelids, tears flashed in her eyes, and she said tiredly: "If you want to know what happened in the villa, you might as well ask Shi Mi and Lian Qiao. They have been serving Zhu Zhu closely, and they know more than me. I will go down, and I have to tell the people below not to discuss what happened today."

After saying that, she pushed Shi Mingzhen's hand away and shouted to stop the car.

The carriage stopped, she got off, said a few words casually, and went to the second carriage.

"Third Grandma! Third Grandma!" Shi Mingzhen called out several times but failed to stop her. He shook his head, sighed, and called Shi Mi and Lian Qiao to come up.

In the second carriage, Shi Yao and Qi Wan were silently digesting the two big melons of "Shi Mingzhu hugged the Fourth Prince and slapped the Fourth Prince". When they saw Tao Ziyi getting on the carriage, Shi Yao hurriedly asked:

"Third sister-in-law, are you okay?"

Qi Wan asked at the same time: "Third sister-in-law, is Zhuzhu okay?"

Tao Ziyi sat down next to Shi Yao and answered tiredly, "I'm fine, and Zhuzhu is fine too."

Shi Yao asked eagerly, "Third sister-in-law, how did you get the wound on your forehead? Do you want to apply some medicine? Fifth sister-in-law, do you remember where you put the medicine?"

Tao Ziyi felt warm in her heart, and she gently held Shi Yao's hand with her slightly trembling and cold hands. Tears as big as beans fell down, and she quickly wiped them away with a handkerchief with her other hand, and said with a forced smile:

"I got a bump from it accidentally, and it hurts so much that I cried. I don't need to apply any medicine, and it didn't break my skin. I have thick skin, and I'm not as delicate as you girls. It will go away in three to five days."

When Shi Yao heard this, she realized that there was something behind the words. She was afraid that the third brother Shi Mingzhen only cared about Shi Mingzhu and didn't care about the third sister-in-law, which made the third sister-in-law jealous again. So she stood up and gave up her seat, saying softly:

"Third sister-in-law, I see that you don't look well, as if you are tired. Take a rest and lie down for a while."

"Okay, Second Sister is really a lovely person. I wonder who will get her in the future." Tao Ziyi smiled, lay down on her side, facing inward, closed her eyes and said in a muffled voice, "When we get to the Duke's Mansion, if I'm not awake, remember to call me."

"I remember." Shi Yao took off the pearl hairpin on her hair, made her lie more comfortably, and pulled a blanket to cover her.

Tao Ziyi felt very touched, but compared with Shi Yao's kindness, Shi Mingzhen's indifference made her even more heartbroken.

She buried her face in her handkerchief and cried silently.

Let her cry this time. When she wakes up from a good sleep, she will be the virtuous and generous Tao Ziyi again.

Shi Yao and Qi Wan looked at each other, each thinking about their own things in silence.

When Tao Ziyi fell asleep, Shi Yao summoned the Book of Merits in her mind: [Book of Merits, let my third sister-in-law Tao Ziyi be reborn! ]
