Step-Mother has Given Up

Shengde ten years.

The scorching sun in August is like a fire, the Big Bear Mountain is green and green, and the mountains are full of smoke, like a fairyland on earth. There is a Zhuangzi at the foot of the mountain, exquisite and elegant.

In the hazy morning light, the person on the bed was asleep, frowning, with tears hanging in the corners of his eyes, as if having a nightmare.

In the dream, Shen Yanmo heard a cry of a baby, but his eyes were half-open and half-awake, and his forehead was soaked with sweat.

Then came the voice of a woman in a gentle voice, but her words were cold and bitter: "The nobleman said, this child must not stay, you can figure it out."

After learning about it, Shen Yanmo wanted to open his eyes, but no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't open them.

I heard another woman say: "This child is the lifeblood of the lady. She is now down to this point. Only this child is left. Why bother to kill them. If I take the child out and throw it far away, it will be death or alive. It all depends on his good fortune?" There was a hint of pleading in his voice.

Who knew that the first woman turned her face and said sternly, "Cut the grass to get rid of the roots, the old woman understands. If the roots are buried now, the nobles will find out that I am dead and give the child to me." The child lifted up and fell to the ground.

"No." Shen Yanmo heard the baby fall to the ground, and the baby didn't have time to cry, and fell on the ground like that, with blood stains on the back of his head.

Don't ask why she knows that there is blood on the baby's head, she seems to see it, and it seems that she can't see it. There is blood in my mind.

Shen Yanmo opened his eyes abruptly, his face was full of tears, and he got up to gasp, looked around, the gray bed curtains, there was no baby crying, let alone two mothers-in-law.

"Madam, you woke up, did you have a nightmare?" The maid lifted the bed curtain and looked towards the bed, only to see Shen Yanmo staring at the bed curtain blankly. I was panicked, fearing that Shen Yanmo would bump into something unclean, he pushed her with her hand, and whispered: "Madam, what's the matter with you, wake up soon, don't scare Qiuyue."

Shen Yanmo returned to his senses, and then looked at the girl by the bed, like her own maid Qiuyue, and unconsciously asked, "Qiuyue, where am I?"

The dream just now seemed true and false.

In her dream, she was thrown onto Zhuangzi by Wuchang Hou Gu Shaoyi. She gave birth to a child in October. Due to the labor intensive in childbirth, she had no energy to give birth. She was half awake and half asleep. She saw the child being thrown on the ground severely. Blood, just died like that, she didn't come up in a breath, and followed.

"Madam, what's the matter with you. The eldest lady said that you abused her, and her arms were bruised. Lord Hou convicted you without asking, and threw you on the Zhuangzi in anger." Qiu Yi looked for her. I put on a long dress and was about to put on Shen Yanmo. Seeing her sweaty head, she asked, "Madam, do you want to take a shower?"

Shen Yanmo thought about the dream, but didn't answer, just nodded.

Qiuyue put down her long skirt and left, went to the kitchen and asked Zhang Ma to boil water.

The wife was thrown on to Zhuangzi by Lord Hou. Except for Zhang Shu, a dumb old man who guards the gate, there is also a woman named Zhang Ma who does chores. The two-entry Zhuangzi has no one else.

Shen Yanmo was still sitting on the bed in a daze, as if not believing that she was still alive. Clearly vomiting blood, heart contraction, shortness of breath, and lifelessness, everything is so real, how come back to when I first arrived in Zhuangzi.

Could it be that God has mercy on her and can't bear her sudden death at a young age to make her come alive? Or was it pity that her child died unjustly, and showed her compassion to rebirth her? Still, everything just now was just a dream.

No matter what, she is still alive. The trembling hand touched the flat abdomen, where a small life had been bred, in any case, she wanted to keep him safe and protect him from growing up.

Those nasty things in the Hou Mansion, whoever is willing to participate in the party, she will not wait.

It is said that the stepmother is not good enough. She teaches her stepdaughter carefully, but the old lady thinks that she treats her stepdaughter harshly. Since she entered the door, the stepson was taken by the old lady, overly pampering, arrogant, and domineering. She reminded one or two things, but the old lady thought it had ulterior motives.

Whoever wants to be the stepmother of Wuchang Houfu, she just wants to raise her own children, she is strict or doting, and no one will question her.

Qiuyue brought hot water and walked towards the inner room, complaining in her mouth: "Madam, why did Hou Ye treat you like this? It's obviously Miss Hou who framed you. It's really hateful that Hou Ye didn't listen to your excuses. Everyone in the Marquis House in Wuchang is hateful. ."

She went back and forth a few times, finished the water, walked to Shen Yanmo's side, pouting her lips and pinching her waist to count the people who had fallen to Wuchanghou, as if she had eaten Gu Shaoyi.

Shen Yanmo didn't seem to hear it, and went into the inner room to take a bath. When he came out, he changed into a plain dress, combed a woman's sideburns, and inserted a silver hairpin, simple and generous without losing his beauty. Looking at the person in the bronze mirror, Shen Yanmo looked like a lifetime away, clearly sixteen years old, but his heart was sixty years old.

She is a prostitute of the Shen family in Jinling. Her father was once an official worshiper of Sanpin. She had served as a salt inspector in Lianghuai. Unfortunately, she served less than half a year and died while in office. Others accused her father of corruption and committing suicide.

Shen Yanmo believed in his father, he wouldn't. My father was born in a poor family and spent ten years in a cold window. Once in high school, his only wish was to petition for the people and serve the country. He is upright, does not fear power, and has an open-minded personality.

After the death of his father, his mother was depressed. The grandmother contemptuously made things difficult, and the auntie squeezed her out, so that her mother could not afford to be ill, so she followed her within two months. Since then, she and her brother have been discussing life with her aunt. You can imagine how difficult it is.

When her parents passed away, Shen Yanmo was twelve years old, and her brother Shen Yuanan was two years older than her.

When Shen Yanmo was fifteen years old, his uncle official to Dr. Fengzhi was a slack job with no real power. In order to curry favor with the powerful, the Shen family married Shen Yanmo into the Wuchang Houfu.

Shen Yanmo married into the Marquis of Wuchang, and never reconciled with Lord Hou. Wu Changhou is a nostalgic, with his auntie in his heart, and he treats Shen Yanmo as a transparent person, ignorant and indifferent.

Wu Changhou's attitude made her a joke of the Hou Mansion, and even the servants looked down upon her, let alone the masters of the Hou Mansion. Shen Yanmo didn't care, as if he had already guessed about his situation.

Half a month later, the border was in a hurry, and Hou Wuchang went to the border. Since Wuchang Hou left, Shen Yanmo's life in the Hou Mansion can be described as walking on thin ice, not to mention the rules of the day to serve her mother-in-law. Doing a little bit of wrong or inappropriate rules will cause the old lady to be punished if she doesn't understand it. He also scolded her for coming out of Xiaomen Xiaohu, and she didn't understand the rules at all.

No matter what Shen Yanmo does, the old lady sees her not pleasing to her eyes. She feels that she is greedy for glory and wealth and has a deep scheming, and she has ulterior motives in marrying into the Hou Mansion. Shen Yanmo was unable to change this extreme situation, and could only bear it blindly, thinking that it would be good if Hou Ye came back, and she would change everyone's opinion.

A year later, Wuchang Hou triumphed, and after returning, he was still frosty towards Shen Yanmo. Suddenly, Wu Changhou was enthusiastic, pulling Shen Yanmo in the ceremony of Zhou Gong, waking up with contempt, and leaving her yard without saying a word.

Shen Yanmo burst into tears, swallowing tears into his stomach, still doing what he should do, as if this incident had never happened before, but was it really as if it had never happened before?

The people in the Marquis of Wuchang knew that she and Lord Hou had come to an end. Some ridicule, contempt, and defamation followed one after another. Especially Wu Changhou's eldest daughter, who was only eight years old, her body was bruised, and she held Wu Changhou's arm with tears and said that Shen Yanmo had secretly abused her. Those marks were evidence.

Shen Yanmo couldn't argue. Wu Changhou would not give her a chance to justify, and directly assigned people to Zhuangzi, letting them fend for themselves.

In the dream, Shen Yanmo realized that she was pregnant, and asked Qiuyue to return to the mansion to report, hoping that Master Hou could listen to his excuses for the sake of the child. Who knows that he has been waiting for nearly ten months without seeing Master Hou, so please wait. But it was the end of the child being beaten to death by others, vomiting blood and dying.

She woke up from the nightmare, and she was still alive. This time I will not repeat the dream scene.

Seeing Shen Yanmo in a daze, Qiuyue guessed that she was startled by the nightmare, and suggested: "Madam, it's good today. Let's go out for a walk. It's always weird in the house."

Shen Yanmo nodded and got up and walked out, standing at the door of the house looking at everything in the courtyard, familiar and unfamiliar. In the dream, she has lived here for nearly ten months, only ten months, but she feels like a world away.

At this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door. Shen Yanmo turned a deaf ear. Qiuyue smiled, and the steps under her feet were very brisk. As she walked out, she said: "Did Master Hou send someone to pick up his wife?"

Shen Yanmo whispered: "The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, how could Lord Hou come to pick me up." The man was eager for her to die, and the people in the Hou Mansion hoped that she would die here.

Shao Qing, Shen Yuanan walked in and saw Shen Yanmo standing in the courtyard looking into the distance. He felt a pain in his heart. He wanted to laugh but couldn't move his mouth to laugh. He sighed and said softly: "Mo'er, you are suffering."

Shen Yanmo looked back and saw that it was his brother, not surprised at all, smiled and said, "Brother is here, come in and sit in the house."

The two entered the house one after the other and sat on the couch opposite each other. Shen Yanmo instructed Qiuyue to pour tea, and said to Shen Yuan'an: "My brother is worried, it's all bad for Mo'er."

Qiuyue did not leave, and Yin Hong's small mouth opened and closed, and she began to complain that the Hou Mansion was not good to Shen Yanmo, and she didn't let her down. From the old lady of Wuchang Hou to the maidservant in charge of the affairs, there is no good thing. It all depends on his wife's soft temper and wants to step on it.

Shen Yanmo looked at Shen Yuanan and sighed: "It's not as serious as Qiuyue said, but I don't want to care about it."

Qiuyue said the same thing in the dream, and she cried and washed her face with tears. Shen Yuanan saw it both distressed and regretful, regretting that she should try her best to stop this marriage.

How is the result?

The elder brother left Zhuangzi to go to the Hou Mansion to discuss the matter. He was kicked out without talking, he was beaten, and he had a broken leg to recuperate for half a year. He was also disabled and was unable to participate in the scientific examination. It is said that the room leak happened in the evening rain, and the brother's fiancee came to divorce again, and the brother was depressed and unhappy.

Now that she knew the ending, she would not allow this to happen. People who only care about this life have a good life.

Shen Yuanan knew that Shen Yanmo comforted him, his eyes were reddish, his hands in his sleeves clenched tightly, thinking about coming to the Hou Mansion for theories, can the rich and powerful can bully others. Although their brothers and sisters have no parents, they are not easy to deceive.

Shen Yanmo glanced at Shen Yuanan, immediately saw his thoughts, after thinking about it, and then said, "Brother, I want to get together."

What she wants should arrive in a few days.

There are people in the Hou Mansion who want the lives of their mother and child, the enemy is dark and we are clear. Only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no reason for a thousand days to guard against thieves, only to leave the Hou Mansion completely, can the child's life be saved.
