Chapter 16 Daxiangguo Temple

Outside the door, Ms. Li led her mother-in-law and maid towards this side as if nothing had happened. When she got closer, she looked at the closed door, her eyes shining with light.

The best way to control a woman is to grab a fatal handle on her.

The Yongchang Hou Mansion finally gave birth to a princess. Unfortunately, Shen Mingjiao had a deep grudge against the Hou Mansion, and there was no one in the house who could restrain her, so she had to use some extraordinary means.

She gestured to her mother-in-law to come forward and open the door. When she opened the door, a strong fragrance hit her face.

Mrs. Li covered her mouth with a handkerchief in disgust, and softly shouted "Fourth Girl" into the back room. After shouting, she didn't hear any response. Her heart sank, and she quickly lifted the curtain and entered.

Although she came up with this method and found the man, she must never let anything happen between the two of them. You must know that if the princess loses her virginity before marriage, the entire Hou family will not be able to live well.

So she came here at a pinch, intending to catch the two of them before anything happened. Nowadays, honor is the most important thing for women. When the time comes, Shen Mingjiao will be panicked and frightened, and she will have to obey their mercy.

Entering the back room, I saw the bed curtain dropped, and the sound of a man's low gasping could be heard from inside. The sound made people blush for no reason.

Li didn't care anymore and hurried forward and opened the curtain.

There was no Shen Mingjiao inside, only a handsome man with a rosy complexion and half-undressed clothes.

The man saw her, grabbed her wrist, opened a pair of beautiful blurred eyes, and said pitifully: "Madam, help me, I feel so uncomfortable."

Li waved her hand away in disgust and asked coldly: "Where is Shen Mingjiao?"

Then she heard a noise coming from the door.

When Haitang came back with hot water, she saw that the maids and women beside her were tightly surrounding the door. She couldn't help but asked Cuiliu beside her in confusion: "What are you doing? Where is my girl?"

After saying that, she took the water and tried to rush into the house. Cui Liu became anxious and screamed: "Stop her quickly!"

Immediately two women came forward to hold her arms.

Haitang was a little confused for a moment, but subconsciously put down the barrel, took a step back, grabbed the hands stretched out by the two women, and was about to throw them out with her backhand, when she was lightly patted on the back.

She turned around and saw that it was her girl, and she was inexplicably relieved, "Girl, where have you been?"

Shen Mingjiao gently patted the little girl's shoulder and said nonchalantly: "It's too stuffy in the room. Come out and take a breath."

Then he raised his head and said to the stunned Cuiliu people: "What are you doing here in this hot day?"

She pushed everyone aside and entered the room. When she saw the gloomy-looking Mr. Li and the handsome young man lying on the bed, gasping for breath, she suddenly exclaimed with clarity on her face:

"Ah! This is the lover that my eldest aunt has adopted away from home. But this is a Buddhist holy land after all. Isn't it wrong for my eldest aunt to do this?"

Knowing that the matter was exposed, Li gave her a cold look and left with her sleeves.

The beautiful young man was left stunned.

Shen Mingjiao chose a new room to stay in, and spent the night speechless.

After breakfast the next day, Li and his party were ready to leave for home.

Shen Mingjiao's master and servant came over from a distance and saw that Li's complexion was unexpectedly good. However, when they saw Shen Mingjiao, their face suddenly turned cold.

Shen Mingjiao didn't care and got into the carriage where the maid sat at the back.

Haitang whispered in her ear: "I always feel that Madam is acting strange today. Her eyebrows are relaxed, as if she is several years younger."

Shen Mingjiao gently scraped her nose and said, "Our Haitang's ability to talk over tea has improved a lot!"

Haitang was still very happy to be praised by her master, but she still asked curiously: "Miss, what do you think is wrong with the madam?"

Shen Mingjiao smiled a bit enigmatically: "Who knows? Maybe the feng shui of the Elephant Kingdom Temple nourishes people!"

The horse driving in front jolted violently, and the convoy was forced to stop. Cuiliu lifted the curtain and shouted displeased: "What's going on?"

The driver lowered his head and said submissively: "Just now...a cat...rushed over..."

Cuiliu rolled her eyes: "If you kill a cat, you will die. If you hurt the lady, how many lives can you pay for it?"

Li's displeased voice came from the carriage: "When you get to the mansion, go to the chief manager to receive your punishment."

The coachman responded with a pale face and lowered his head.

The comments from the escort following the car came to my ears:

"It's a pitiful amount of money. In the early years, I was the servant of the Marquis. Later, I don't know what mistake I made, and I was demoted to the position of coachman by the Marquis in anger."

"I heard that his mother is sick, and he doesn't have much money on him. He has been looking for someone to borrow money these days?"

Several people sighed and said nothing more. No one dared to get too close to a slave like this who was despised by his master.

Haitang also sighed: "It's so pitiful that the money is so big!"

Shen Mingjiao curled up her nails: "Since I feel sorry for him, I'll give him some money some other time."

Haitang was a little surprised. Her girl was not a nosy person. However, she didn't take it too seriously. She just thought that the girl now had a lot of money and wanted to do something good.

Back at home, life is as usual.

The three Li family members still did not give up the idea of ​​letting her bring Shen Mingyao into Prince Su's palace as a concubine.

The old lady even invited her to sit in Shou'an Courtyard from time to time. Seeing that it was useless to pressure her with filial piety, she switched to a warm-hearted strategy and tried to use the almost non-existent emotions of grandparents and grandchildren. After going there twice, Shen Mingjiao felt annoyed.

, simply stay behind closed doors.

Li even thought of using Haitang's selling contract as a threat. In order to increase the effect, she also invited Ya Po, a human trader.

So Haitang performed a power lift in a large water tank in front of a courtyard of maids and women, and even easily circled around the crowd with a very comic effect.

Everyone was so frightened that they screamed, fearing that her hand would slip and knock the vat down.

Mrs. Li was also frightened to the point where her legs and feet were weak. She thought that she had seen this girl being stupid and good at eating, so she threw her into Shen Mingjiao's yard. She didn't expect that she turned out to be a very capable girl.

Naturally, the matter was settled in the end. After seeing Haitang's magical power, Yapo ran faster than anyone else.

On the Dragon Boat Festival, the family gathered together for a family dinner. During the dinner, Mrs. Li smelled the aroma of meat on the table and suddenly covered her lips and retched.

This was nothing, everyone just thought it was Mr. Li who had a bad stomach.

Shen Mingjiao blinked with curiosity on her face: "Isn't it true that Auntie is pregnant now? Oh, congratulations, it seems I'm going to have a little cousin again."

The third lady rolled her eyes at her and said, "It's a shame that she's a girl. She says everything to others. Your aunt is now a grandmother, so she can say such nonsense."

When Mrs. Li heard Shen Mingjiao's words, her heart skipped a beat, and the next moment, her stomach churned again.

Shen Mingjiao was still chattering, "Look! It looks like pregnancy, and older women tend to be pregnant more often. The wife of Han Yushi's family is almost fifty, and she gave birth to a big fat boy the year before last...

"

Mrs. Li felt panicked in her heart, and she managed to survive until the end of the banquet. She returned to the yard, dismissed the servants, and ordered her confidant to ask for the doctor. She sat alone in the room, staring at the bronze mirror in a daze.

Recalling that day at the Daxiangguo Temple, when she was looked at by the man's clear and hazy eyes, her heart instinctively froze.
