Step-Mother has Given Up

But Brother Yao didn't plan to let her go like this. In her shock and despair, what she said drew away her strength, leaving nothing left.

"Father-in-law, you have to call the shots for me. Some people say that my brother and I are from the Gu family and want to take us away. The queen mother and the emperor know who we are the best." Brother Yao choked and glanced at Mrs. Gu. , That looks extremely wronged.

The **** is a queen dowager, and he naturally knows the identity of Brother Yao. They are the empress dowager’s heart. Now that they have been wronged, they can't easily forget it. He also followed Yao's sight, his eyes condensed and his voice was sharp and said: "Who is so courageous to say that you are of the Gu family's blood? This matter must be discussed with the queen mother and her elderly."

At this moment, Wen Wan's heart is like being put on the fire one after another after being delayed. How did she know the identity of this child, and even the **** next to the queen mother treated him courteously, definitely not an ordinary person.

What kind of identity he is, they can't inquire about him. But this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is to solve the immediate troubles.

She was a bit clever and didn't dare to offend Mrs. Gu, not to mention the queen mother in the palace, so she knelt down and confessed her mistake: "It's all clumsy courtiers who confessed the wrong person, and ask the queen mother to forgive me."

When she spoke, she winked at the maid next to her. The maid understood, and hurriedly took out a bulging purse and stuffed it into the eunuch's hands. Then Wen Wan said, "This father-in-law, it’s all the fault of the lady. The lady apologizes to the little son. She also asks the little son to forgive me. A little sincerity. I hope that the little son will not dislike it and buy some snacks or gadgets. Son."

Everyone around was watching, and Yao's brother was not easy to hold on, after all, my mother is famous for her kind heart. As her son, he can't be "serious", he must be "magnanimous" in order to show his mother's teachings.

"Get up, you say that it's not guilty that you don't know. How can I be like a woman?" Yao brother pretended to be generous, picked up his purse and stuffed it into Wen Wan's arms, "How can I ask for your silver, Jiangnan is like that? Many people, my mother said that relief will be relieved, and I still lack my snacks. If I ask for your silver, how do others think of my mother, you are hitting my mother in the face, I am not broad-minded with you Regardless, why do you set traps everywhere to make me jump in, and what hatred my mother and you do to make you deliberately frame her. You go, I don't want to see you."

The people around began to accuse her gentleness again, saying that she was vicious in mind and seemed dignified and generous, mostly pretending. Some people say that her good reputation is also a pretense, and that Gu Chang's obesity, who knows whether it was gentle and deliberately made people eat more, made it like this. When Gu Chang is no longer raised, her son will become the princely son, and he will be Lord Hou in the future, and her son's huge family business will belong to her.

Brother Yao's words were poking on her gentle heart and lungs. She was uncomfortable at first, but when she heard the words of punishing the heart, she could imagine how she felt in her heart. She wished to kill Brother Yao, but the queen mother and the emperor protected her. She dare not.

Wen Wan wanted to explain, seeing Brother Yao grabbing the eunuch's sleeve and talking, he was stuck in his throat when he wanted to explain it, and he couldn't vomit and swallow. It was extremely uncomfortable.

Brother Yao didn't bother to talk to her either. "Are you looking for me specifically?"

"The slave, on the order of the Queen Mother, invites Mrs. Shen to enter the palace. If the son wants to enter the palace, you can follow. The queen mother will be happier to see you." His face was filled with joy, and he looked at Mrs. Gu with a little more contempt. , "The little son entered the palace, and went to the queen mother's palace. The queen mother was talking about the grand son just now. Let's go now. It's not good for the queen mother to wait for her elderly people?" There are pleadings on her face, which makes people more suspicious. The identity of Brother Yao.

Who on earth is he, even the **** next to the Queen Mother treats him respectfully, and dare not neglect in the slightest. And that **** Shen Yanmo, the Queen Mother came to pick him up in person, what a privilege.

"You wait here, I'll call my mother." Luo Yaoer ran into the gate.

He had just walked to the Chuihua Gate and saw Shen Yanmo approaching here, followed by Furong and Yuhe.

Brother Yao walked a few steps quickly and ran to Shen Yanmo's side. Just as he was about to speak, he listened to Shen Yanmo's urgent question.

"I heard that the old godly woman of the Gu family has come to the house, is she embarrassing you?" Looking up and down Brother Yao, she felt relieved when he saw that he was fine. Shen Yanmo came as soon as he heard about it.

"Mother, I'm fine." Brother Yao shook his head and smiled. "There is someone in the palace. The queen mother wants to see you. Let's enter the palace together."

Shen Yanmo responded with a good voice and followed Brother Yao to the door. Seeing that the **** was waiting, he stepped forward and apologized: "It is the women's fault to keep the father-in-law waiting for a long time."

The **** stood upright and smiled: "Where there, our family has just been here for a while. Madam is busy with business, and our family is here suddenly. It should be a while. The queen mother and her elderly are very grateful for your kindness, and specially ordered our family to pick you up. Enter the palace, if Madam is ready, let's go with our house."

Shen Yanmo and Brother Yao got into a carriage and drove away, not taking care of the old lady and gentleness at all. On the way, Brother Yao told Mrs. Gu’s intentions and how he played against Mrs. Gu. His expression was triumphant, as if he had won a battle. Isn’t it a victory? After today, the Gu family is a big deal. , And will not blatantly come to ask for it.

The car moved slowly, and soon arrived at the palace, got out of the carriage and walked into the palace gate. There were two sedan chairs parked in front of the door. Shen Yanmo and Yao brother sat in Jiaozi. In the Taihe Palace, before entering the palace gate, there was a court lady **** who greeted him and said with a smile: "You are here, the queen mother has been waiting for a while, and just now I was chanting, let the servants come out to have a look, but by coincidence you are here. ."

Shen Yanmo got off the sedan chair and was arm in arm by Brother Yao, and followed the maid **** into the main hall. The queen mother sat on the top of the upper head, looking forward to seeing a woman coming in and hurriedly got up to welcome him. After a few steps, when Shen Yanmo arrived and was about to salute her, she was grabbed by the queen mother: "Good boy, you don't need to be polite, just rely on your care for Brother Yao and Brother Rong. Thanks, the Aijia will give you a big gift."

Talking about the empress dowager's eyes are moist. The spoiled daughter who was born, married to another country and relatives, suffered so much and died in a foreign country. She never saw the last time. Her grandsons were bullied in the palace and begged all the way. Without the Shen daughter, she would not dare. Imagine the life of grandchildren.

The emperor didn't tell the queen mother Yao and Rong that they had been hunted down, but said that they escaped from the palace and begged all the way, but were saved by Shen Yanmo and adopted as adoptive sons.

"The courtesy can't be abandoned." Shen Yanmo judo.

"The Ai family knows that you know well. Teach Brother Yao and Brother Rong very well." The queen mother took Shen Yanmo's hand and sat down, "When you arrive in Kyoto, you should enter the palace more and walk around. The Ai family heard that you have not been there. In a few places, I have seen a lot of strange things, and I will also tell the Ai's family."

She is protecting Shen Yanmo in disguise. Shen Yanmo was often summoned by the Queen Mother, and anyone in Kyoto who dared to look for her bad luck would hit the nail on the nails by those who did not have eyesight in the Gu family.

"Grandma wants to hear, Yao'er will tell you about it. It's really strange what happened when we went out." Brother Yao didn't plan to let Gu's home easily, so he told Mrs. Gu and Wen Wan about the visit.

After hearing this, the queen mother also knew that Brother Yao deliberately favored Shen Yanmo and did not mention the twins. She smiled coldly: "You are my royal blood. If you want to recognize it, you can recognize it. It's unreasonable."

The **** who came out of the palace to pick up people stood outside the hall. Hearing the queen dowager's anger, it was not too serious, and stepped into the hall to add fuel and jealousy: "The queen mother, you haven't seen it, the old lady and little lady of the Gu family bullied our son and cried. It was so sad that it was crying. When the old slave went, a group of people pointed at the son. If he hadn't been clever, he would go back and I don't know what would happen. By the way, they also said that the emperor had no eyes."

The queen mother was furious when she heard it, her chest undulating and pointing to the outside of the hall: "It's the other way around, it's the other way around, come here, go and invite the emperor, the Ai family wanted to see who gave them the courage, and dared to arrange the emperor's not."

Brother Yao pulled the sleeves of the Queen Mother, looking embarrassed: "Grandma, forget it. Yaoer has already taught them, as long as the mother is not wronged, Yaoer is different from those ignorant women." Listen to this The words, filial and reasonable, made the queen mother's heart soft and messed up, and the face of Mingyue appeared in her mind.

Mingyue did the same when she went to be married, holding her arm and comforting her: "Mother, what is wronged by Mingyue, as long as your brother and you can sit firmly on the throne and the position of the queen mother, even if you can kill Mingyue, Mingyue also Don't blink."

At that time, the daughter was complaining, or she would send a letter back. There has been no news for these years, and she has not seen anyone sent by the emperor. Thinking of the empress dowager’s eyes reddening here, she told the eunuch: "Call the emperor, and say that the sad family has committed another crime."

When the emperor heard the empress dowager’s old illness recurred, he put down the Zhezi in his hand and said, "All the love, please come back." Before entering the hall, people heard the emperor’s concerned voice: "The mother and queen are ill, but can you call an emperor?"

The little **** replied: "The empress dowager will not let me."

"Asshole, the queen mother is ill, so don't call the imperial doctor. Go, and invite all imperial doctors from the imperial hospital." Before the words were over, people had stepped into the main hall and saw the back of the empress sitting on the head and Shen Yanmo sitting aside. Brother Yao also stood aside, looking at him together.

Only then did the emperor know the empress dowager's intentions, waved his hand to send the eunuchs and palace ladies down, and the hanging heart relaxed slightly: "The queen mother is in good health."

"Ankang can't be anymore, I'm so angry." Tears came out of her eyes and flowed freely along her cheeks. It was not that the queen mother was crying pretentiously in front of her son. She really couldn't help it. Thinking of Mingyue and her grandson's grievance, her heart twitched. pain.

Shen Yanmo hurriedly took out the Jinpa to wipe the tears for the Queen Mother, and comforted: "Queen Mother, you have a bad body, don't cry anymore. Brother Yao and Brother Rong should be worried."

Brother Yao also hurried to persuade a sentence or two.

The emperor panicked, frowning and asked: "What's wrong?" Except for Mingyue, no one can make the mother's queen cry. No, there are more children of Mingyue now.

"Someone bullies your nephew, and you don't know how to control it." The queen mother adjusted her mood and stared at the emperor.

Brother Yao took the opportunity to talk about the things in front of the gate of Shen's mansion.

The emperor tiger stared and shouted to the outside of the temple: "Come here, go to Xuanwu Changhou, let him roll into the palace for me."

The little **** was ordered to go.

The emperor smiled at the empress dowager and said, "Don't worry, the queen, I am the uncle of Brother Yao and Brother Rong. How can I let them be wronged? Wait and I will deal with them."

How could he not know Yao brother's idea, this is seeing Wuchang Hou's mansion bullying the door to avenge Shen Yanmo. The Queen Mother also wanted to take this opportunity to beat Gu's family. The emperor was naturally willing to do good things, not only to please his old mother, but also to buy Shen Yanmo's heart, and to comfort his nephew, he was naturally happy with three birds with one stone.

Seeing that the queen mother was fine, the emperor left Shen Yanmo as an excuse to deal with the matter.

Shen Yanmo didn't dare to refuse, so he talked to the Queen Mother again. The Queen Mother wanted to stay with Shen Yanmo for a few days. Shen Yanmo explained that it was April 12 and there was a wedding banquet with an acquaintance. She had already been married. It's good not to go. Only then did the queen mother let the people out.

The Queen Mother let Brother Yao stay. Brother Yao is going to the Imperial College to study. The palace is far away from the Imperial College. It is inconvenient to go back and forth. The queen mother has to agree, thinking that everyone is in Kyoto, she declares them to the palace if she wants to see them, grandson. Can we not come.

Shen Yanmo and Brother Yao sat Jiaozi to the gate of the palace. Just after Jiaozi saw a person, some unexpected but unexpected person.

This person is not someone else, but Gu Shaoyi. He just came out of the palace, his wife and daughter-in-law did a stupid thing, and he was declared into the palace by the emperor and cursed bloody. When he was scolded by the emperor, he was still confused by the second monk, and now he sees Shen Yanmo and Yao's brother with a clearer heart.

The emperor wanted to protect the Shen family's daughter, and could not tolerate her a little wronged.

Shen Yanmo walked to the carriage, but Gu Shaoyi called out. Shen Yanmo stopped and glanced back at him calmly: "What's the order of Lord Hou?"

"You," Gu Shaoyi didn't know what to say.

"I'm leaving if I have nothing to say." Shen Yanmo turned to leave, only to hear a voice of sorry behind him. This was what Gu Shaoyi said. Shen Yanmo turned around and looked at Gu Shaoyi like a monster: "It's strange, high above. When does Wu Changhou apologize?"

Gu Shaoyi stared at Shen Yanmo's cheek. This face has changed. It has not been cowardly and immature. It has been replaced by maturity and self-confidence: "My mother is coming home. I really don't know. I will restrain them. Please forgive me. ."

Shen Yanmo didn't want to embarrass Gu Shaoyi, let alone get too involved with him, and replied indifferently: "I hope you can keep your promise." After speaking, he took Brother Yao into the carriage, and the groom shook the rein and shouted to drive. The carriage gradually drove away from Gu Shaoyi's sight. No one stopped at the gate of the palace, which seemed a bit lonely.

As soon as Gu Shaoyi returned to the gate of the Hou Mansion, he saw Ye Shaofu getting out of the carriage, his eyes facing each other. Gu Shaoyi saw anger and killing intent in Ye Shaofu's eyes, who did he want to kill?

I haven't visited my door for five years, but I came up today with bad luck.

"It's a rare visitor, if I remember correctly, how many years have you not been here, five years?" Gu Shaoyi paced to Ye Shaofu and sneered. For the sake of a woman, not even a family member. There are still people in this world. Are you more cruel than Ye Shaofu?

"You really don't know why I didn't come here?" Ye Shaofu coughed, and laughed with his fist against his lips. He didn't know whether he was laughing at Gu Shaoyi or at himself. The coughing stopped, he tightened the white fox fur cloak on his body and looked up at Wuchang. The plaque of the Hou Mansion murmured: "If I can, I would like to set foot here for the rest of my life, because the people here make me sick."

If it hadn't been for hearing that Mrs. Yao and Brother Yao were bullied, he would not come back here.

Gu Shaoyi grabbed Ye Shaofu by the collar: "What do you mean, deliberately looking for fault? If you don't want to come, why do you condescend to step on the ground?"

Ye Shaofu broke off Gu Shaoyi's hand, the expression on his face was colder, and he whispered: "These should all be asked about your good mother, what did you do more than thirty years ago? You never thought about it, we are obviously cousins, why? They look so similar, and twins are nothing more than that."

Gu Shaoyi had a look, and his eyes were full of surprise: "What do you mean?"

Could it be that they are brothers, it is impossible, how could they be brothers? In his early years, he also heard from the grandmother in the house that the mother gave birth to twins, and the later-born children were stunned after birth. How could they still be alive?

No, the child is still alive.

Five years ago, my mother went to the King’s Mansion and wanted to prevent Ye Shaofu from marrying Shen Yanmo. She didn’t know what the uncle and mother had said. The mother didn’t mention Ye’s family, let alone stopping Ye Shaofu, and even built the mansion. A small Buddhist hall. On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, I will go to the small Buddha hall to pray. He didn't understand before, but now he understands everything. The mother is not for others, but for the youngest son who owes more than 30 years.

With anger on his face, Ye Shaofu first walked into the Wuchang Hou Mansion and strode the meteor to the courtyard of Mrs. Gu.

Gu’s servants saw Ye Shaofu coming, as if they had seen a ghost. How long has this cousin not been here? He heard that he had fallen out with the old lady and would never go back. Why are you here today? Look at the cousin’s appearance. It seems that something bad is about to happen.

Old Madam Gu was even more stunned when she saw Ye Shaofu, and stammered: "You, you, you..." She couldn't say anything next.

"Very surprised?" Ye Shaofu stood still, looking straight at her, "I didn't want to come. Some things you did too much, I have to come."

If he could, he wouldn't want to set foot here for the rest of his life.

"Are you doing it for the Shen family?" Mrs. Gu thought for a while, with despair and sorrow on her face, it really was for that woman.
