The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 325 Love rivals are extremely jealous when they meet

The bustling ancestral temple suddenly became deserted.

Zheng peeped out through the crack in the door.

There was a look of disappointment in her eyes.

Qi Wan left, Tao Ziyi also left, and the maids around her were expelled one by one by Wang Fan. Le Anning and Wang Fan had no plans to divorce, and it seemed that they would not stay in the ancestral temple for long.

After the two of them left, no one in the temple spoke to her anymore.

Although they were hateful, she was more afraid of loneliness.

Zheng fell to the ground.

The morning light shone through the crack in the door into her eyes, making each eyelash distinct, and her eyelashes trembled with fear.

She thought bitterly, would there ever be a day in the future when she would really go crazy?

Shi Jimian abandoned her and left her alone.

She really wanted to... really wanted to catch him, lock him up for three to five years, and let him experience the pain and loneliness of being locked up!

Outside the gate, Le An Ning squinted at the dawn in the east and asked, "Fang Jie'er, do you think Zi Yi will abort Song Ge'er?"

Wang Fan shook her head: "Who knows? Maybe. She is too disappointed in Shi Mingzhen and the Shi family. She agreed not to meet Shi Mingzhen, but Shi Mingzhen ran away for a day and a night, and the second wife didn't catch him back."

I thought to myself, that shouldn’t be the case.

If you want to fight, you should have fought earlier.

However, she would tell the Shi family that the child was gone.

Let them regret and suffer.

*

Shen did think about bringing Shi Mingzhen back, but she overestimated Shi Mingzhen's emotional intelligence and underestimated Tao Ziyi's determination not to see him.

She didn't expect Shi Mingzhen to win back Tao Ziyi.

The couple had such a quarrel that it would be difficult for them to live after remarrying.

In the eyes of men, face is more important than anything else.

Tao Ziyi had once humiliated him in public, so how could he treat her sincerely for the rest of his life? He must have harbored resentment.

Shen allowed Shi Mingzhen to go to the family temple with the intention of letting her son humiliate Tao Ziyi and vent her anger.

Even if the son is useless, the grandson can still be cultivated.

Tao Ziyi has been tortured enough, and now that she is in a good mood, her grandson will be born smoothly.

When Shi Mingzhen was carried back covered in blood, Shen's eyes went dark.

Soon after, Wang Fan sent someone to deliver a letter, informing Tao Ziyi that she was heading south and determined to make a move. Shen couldn't stand this miserable life any longer and fainted completely.

In the letter, Wang Fan not only talked about the news of the second house, but also mentioned that Shi Mingmo forced the servants of the ancestral temple to hand over the keys and intended to take Zheng away.

The third wife Rong and Shi Mingkui were very disappointed with Shi Mingmo and gave him the cold shoulder for several days.

Shi Mingmo was punished by the old duke to kneel in the ancestral hall for two days. After he came out, he was ashamed and behaved himself.

After a few days, his mind was wandering and he was thinking about taking his wife home - apart from this, he had nothing else to do.

Therefore, he brought good wine to his second brother Shi Mingwei every day.

Shi Yao has been pretending to be weak these days, lying on the kang every day, and from time to time she sends people to flirt with Shi Yunfan, inviting him to Guanjuyuan for dinner, and chatting about the future blueprint of the Shi family to "relieve her boredom."

Shi Yunfan is now a cool and arrogant villain boss who ignores her completely.

Shi Yao was feeling very bored, but she never expected that there would be another good show to watch.

On the third day after Tao Ziyi ran away with the baby, the Tao family really returned the original betrothal gift. Shen Shi refused to accept it and sent someone to send it back. The Tao family didn't want it, so they sent it back again. Shen Shi sent it back again...

After a tug of war, Shi Yao was dazzled.

Because of the huge commotion, the news that Tao Ziyi would rather abort the child than divorce Shi Mingzhen spread throughout the capital and became a hot topic.

But within three or four days, the news that Qi Wan and Li had taken the child away also spread.

The house arrest order for the Shi brothers was lifted. Shi Mingchen was accompanying Master Tang Zhan to tour the capital and watch the announcement of the scholar exam results. One purpose was to regret the engagement and make amends on behalf of the Shi family, and the other was to build a good relationship with Tang Zhan.

Whenever he went out, the matchmakers in the capital would take a detour when they saw him from a distance, for fear of being tainted by the bad luck of the young masters of the Shi family.

The wives and future wives of the Shi brothers have all run away. What’s wrong with this family?

Shi Mingchen was extremely depressed.

Especially on this day, the imperial edict was issued, and Bo Yinghao became the new top scholar. The old emperor appointed him as a sixth-rank Hanlin on the spot.

Bo Yinghao wore the top scholar's uniform, a big red flower on his head, rode a chestnut horse, and paraded through the streets, attracting countless young girls who screamed and threw flowers all over the carriage. The fragrant flowers and scented handkerchiefs almost drowned Bo Yinghao.

Bo Yinghao not only confiscated all of them, but also threw a large peony flower given by the Queen Mother into the crowd.

It just happened to fall into the arms of a little nun.

He shouted at the nun, "Don't throw it away! Don't throw it away! It was given to me by the Queen!"

The little nun, who wanted to throw the peony on the ground and step on it, had no choice but to hold the peony flower, blushing and hurried away.

A dozen servants surrounded her and cleared the way for her.

Shi Mingchen saw her from afar and took a quick glance. The little nun turned out to be a young woman, who looked to be less than 20 years old. She was indeed beautiful, like a lotus in clear water. Her movements were both shy like a young girl and dignified like a lady from a noble family.

Thank you...thank you Qingdai!

Shi Mingchen suddenly remembered this face.

Not long after they got engaged, he once secretly glanced at Xie Qingdai. If Xie Qingdai had not been so beautiful, he would have broken off the engagement that year.

Xie Qingdai had grown up and was more beautiful than she was a few years ago. He did not recognize her at first, but with all kinds of rumors circulating in the capital in the past few days, such as that Xie Qingdai helped Bo Yinghao find his sister, he immediately knew that the little nun must be Xie Qingdai!

The smile on Shi Mingchen's face gradually disappeared, and his chest felt heavy, as if a huge rock was pressing on it.

Xie Qingdai was full of life, how could she show any signs of being seriously ill and dying?

So, the Xie family lied to him, right?

Xie Qingdai was not sick at all, she had a prophetic dream and did not want to share the joys and sorrows with him, so she pretended to be sick and dead. She would rather cut her hair and become a nun than break off the engagement with him!

So what’s so good about Bo Yinghao?

For a poor boy from a humble family, what's so great even if he is now a sixth-rank Hanlin? Officialdom requires not only talent and strength, but also connections.

Xie Qingdai was really short-sighted. She actually gave up this noble young man and fell in love with a poor scholar like Bo Yinghao!

How could Bo Yinghao be so short-sighted? The Xie family is indeed rich, but without officials to protect them, how long can they stay rich?

It's just a pig that the court has fattened up and is ready to be slaughtered at any time!

When did they meet?

Did Xie Qingdai already know Bo Yinghao before the engagement was broken off? Otherwise, why would she go to save his sister despite the danger?

Shi Mingchen tightly gripped the cup in his hand, trying not to throw the cup at either of the adulterous couple.

Jealousy and resentment were like worms and ants, which burrowed into his heart and gnawed at it everywhere.

Tang Zhan held the railing with both hands, his dark eyes following the top three winners of the imperial examination on horseback. He did not see Shi Mingchen's expression, and laughed heartily:

"I was lucky enough to see the parade of the top scholar. I never expected that the capital city had such an open side. I thought that the ladies and daughters of the capital city were all as strict in observing etiquette as my second sister, not leaving the main door, and the second door--"

Before he finished speaking, he saw the Shi family's carriage passing by, chasing after Bo Yinghao and others. At the front of the carriage, driving the horse, was Shi Yao. Shi Yao kept throwing flowers at the three top scorers, and also wrapped a handful of peanuts in a handkerchief and threw them at the three people.

The person holding the reins of the carriage was Tang Zhan's former "rival in love" Jiang Miao.
