Chapter 120 No One Is Innocent
Chapter 120 No One Is Innocent
Shi Yao curled her lips.
Shi Mingzhu originally planned to win over Fu Nanjun and Le Anning, hold a criticism meeting, push her out, and criticize her alone, right?
As a result, Fu Nanjun and Le Anning refused to accept the criticism, and Shi Mingzhu herself became the target of criticism.
She might as well be content and not do this, not break the window paper. She could then continue to hate her with peace of mind and continue to be annoyed at Fu Nanjun and Le An Ning's lack of consideration.
Now, suddenly she is the culprit who caused the whole family to die of filial piety.
Shi Yao paused and waited for Fu Nanjun and the other man to come out. She quickly dismissed the maids and grabbed their sleeves and asked hastily:
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, what does elder sister mean by talking to you? Who are the fourth and fifth brothers? What happened to me in my previous life? What is the whole family being executed? How can it be so horrifying? Tell me quickly!
What about the foolish son of the Prince of Changning? What does this have to do with the fourth sister Ge? "
Le An Ning said: "Keep Ge Si away. She doesn't want to associate with our family. It's better to let her go and let one less person step into this quagmire. You have listened for a long time, and you should understand a lot. This is what we know.
Don't go out and talk nonsense, it will cause trouble. If the Duke blows a word, we will all die of illness, understand? Don't ask too much, asking too much will do you no good.
Well, I thought my sister-in-law and I had a great opportunity, but later I found out that it might not be an opportunity, but a punishment from God. But it doesn't matter, it's better than dying in a daze without knowing how you died.
You, stop trying to compete with Shi Mingzhu for favor. If you can’t win, you might as well live a good life…”
Having said this, she paused.
The Duke of Zhenguo wants to marry Shi Yao to the foolish son of Prince Changning. If Shi Yao does not fight for it, she will be dead.
"Forget it. Hold on tight to the old master and old lady. Maybe they will save you out of pity and postpone the marriage with the Prince's Mansion. By the way, what's the matter with your aunt? Is there anything unusual about her?"
Shi Yao looked confused as if she had received a lot of information and was having difficulty digesting it. Upon hearing this, she asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Le An Ning simply stopped trying to hide the truth and asked directly, "Does your aunt have any memories of her past life? Or has she ever had any 'nightmare' related to her past life?"
Shi Yao shook her head and said in horror: "I have never heard of it. Why would my second sister-in-law ask this? Is there anything wrong with my aunt in your memory?"
Fu Nanjun said, "Second brother's wife, don't ask anymore. This is not the place to talk. Aunt Ji changed her fate in this life. Maybe it was God's mercy."
In her previous life, Aunt Ji died of illness. By a slight mistake, the illness was cured, which changed the fate of both her and Shi Yao, causing Shi Yao to come to Beijing five years later.
The two sisters-in-law left Shi Yao in a daze and said goodbye.
After walking a long way, Fu Nanjun said softly: "Second sister is not an ordinary person, second brother and sister-in-law don't need to worry about her."
Le An Ning was stunned: "Sister-in-law, what do you mean? I look at her and there's nothing unusual about her!"
Fu Nanjun narrowed his eyes slightly: "You may have forgotten that at the beginning, Shi Mingzhu said she was... something, but she didn't say it out loud, just like when we talk about our past lives, we can't say certain words, so we can only speak in a roundabout way."
Le An Ning nodded, "Sister-in-law, you are very observant! I didn't even notice this detail. But Shi Yao is indeed different from us. She doesn't know anything about her past life, nor does she know Zhou Shao. If she knew, would she not have come to Beijing early and secretly communicated with him?"
"That's what I'm confused about. Maybe only my second sister and Shi Mingzhu know the specific situation. Anyway, she must be abnormal, otherwise Shi Mingzhu wouldn't have gotten stuck for so long."
Fu Nanjun thought to herself that she knew that "Shi Yao" ended up having her head chopped off. If "Shi Yao" was reborn, she might be pretending to be stupid and unwilling to follow the old path of her previous life. This meant she was going to abandon the Fourth Prince Zhou Shao.
It just so happens that Aunt Ji didn't die five years ago.
She admired Shi Yao very much for being able to reject the temptation of the Queen.
Therefore, since Shi Yao wants to hide, let her hide. Why bother dragging her into this? She is just a poor woman.
Le An Ning remembered being beaten by Shi Yao, and felt pity and hatred for Shi Yao. He said, "If she can't remember her past life and is abnormal, could she be a demon? I think she is so smart that she is close to a demon."
Fu Nanjun couldn't help laughing: "You are talking nonsense again. How can she be a demon? She is just tougher, more ruthless to the criminals, and more eloquent. If she is really a demon, she should at least be able to perform a magic trick, right? Do you think she can perform magic tricks?"
Le An Ning also laughed: "That's true. Hey, sister-in-law, Shi Mingzhu is really selfish, just as I thought."
She laughed. The Shi family always ordered her around, beat and scolded her at will. Today, she had severely scolded their beloved one. She felt very happy.
Fu Nanjun wiped the tears off her face with a handkerchief and said calmly, "She is used to being alone. She always looks for the reasons from others when something bad happens, and never thinks she is wrong. Moreover, who can bear the responsibility of dozens of lives in the Shi family? Whoever bears it will collapse, and Shi Mingzhu is the same.
If we put the blame on her, aren't we trying to evade responsibility? In the previous life, the Shi family suffered that fate, and there is no innocent person in this mansion."
Le An Ning wanted to say that the children were innocent, but think about it, their surname was Shi and they enjoyed the Shi family's fine food and clothing. Since ancient times, treason has been a capital crime punishable by the extermination of nine generations of the family, so naturally they could not escape.
So, there was silence for a moment.
At the next intersection, the two sisters-in-law went their separate ways.
When Fu Nanjun arrived at the gate of Handan Courtyard, Shi Mingwu caught up with her and called out, "Nanjun! Nanjun!"
Fu Nanjun turned around, his face cold, and sneered: "You've coaxed your sister, so she finally remembered me and came to coax me? Forget it, sir. I don't need it. Just go and coax your good sister."
Shi Mingwu frowned, "What are you talking about? We are husband and wife. After the Lantern Festival, I will have to ask for permission to go to the border, and the children will not be able to see me for a long time. Can't you talk to me properly? I hit you by mistake, but I was also punished and will be expelled from the capital. Nanjun, isn't this enough?"
Fu Nanjun clenched his palms and resisted the urge to slap him hard.
Le Anning hit her husband, and even though she was right, she was no longer right. She also said she would not clean up the mess, and her family members did not dare to support her.
She couldn't repeat Le Anning's mistakes.
This slap in the face might have been Shi Mingwu's excuse for staying in Beijing.
"Shi Mingwu, you whipped me, which is the same as my second brother's wife pinching me. My second brother's wife is about to be divorced, and the whole family beats and scolds her as they please. And what about you? After New Year's Eve, has anyone hit you? Has anyone scolded you for this?
The world is not fair! Injury and compensation can never be equal. It is not like you dig a hole in the ground and add soil to it, and then pretend that nothing happened.
If I had the ability to hurt you, I would definitely take revenge on you. But because I was a woman, I could only do nothing, and this became my fault, and a reason for you to beat me, scold me, and damage my dignity and reputation.
Since we can't divorce, I wish you a bright future and never come back to Beijing! It would be best if we never see each other again in this life."
After saying this, Fu Nanjun stepped over the threshold and ordered someone to close the door.
