The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 323 The Disciple

Shi Mingmo was stunned and finally walked out of the ancestral temple with his head hung low.

As he walked down the stairs, something was thrown out from behind and hit his feet.

Looking closely, it turned out to be the jewelry box that the third brother gave to his third sister-in-law.

"Bai Shi, what are you doing?"

Bai Xi's pretty face was stern: "Our grandmother told us not to take Third Master's things! She will vomit when she sees them!"

After saying that, he closed the door and bolted it.

Shi Mingmo picked up the jewelry box, her face flushed with anger, "You are such a fool, girl!"

When he turned around, he saw his third brother Shi Mingzhen standing behind him with a dark face.

"Third brother..."

Shi Mingzhen's face was as gloomy as water. He moved his stiff legs and said, "Let's go. Tell me what happened."

Shi Mingmo hurriedly followed, not daring to hide anything, and told all the details in detail: "...I wonder if that girl Bai Xi conveyed my words to you. How could Third Sister-in-law be so heartless? Could it be that that girl was interfering or exaggerating?"

Shi Mingzhen said calmly, "Bai Shi doesn't dare."

The trick of giving gold and silver jewelry doesn't work.

In the past, if he bought a ten-cent wooden comb on the street, she would be happy for half a month.

Shi Mingmo looked at his face and advised, "Third brother, it's okay. Women are not so soft-hearted. In ancient times, Liu Bei had to visit Zhuge Liang three times to invite him out of seclusion. We also visited him three times. When Third Sister-in-law sees your sincerity, she will soften and reconcile one day."

Shi Mingzhen had a blank expression on his face, frowning in thought.

This low-key carriage without the Shi family emblem slowly left the ancestral temple and headed towards the capital.

In the family temple, Le An Ning was laughing so hard that her body was shaking: "Zi Yi, didn't you see how funny those two were? Even if the first wife had a hundred guts, she wouldn't dare to walk out of here!"

Tao Ziyi smiled softly and said, "The old master is old, but his influence is still there. The royal family lost face in that incident. If the first wife dares to return to Beijing, the old master will dare to let her die of illness. Forget it, don't go to recruit the first wife in the future. After all, her children are all alive."

"I don't dare to provoke her. It's just a waste of time. If she doesn't provoke me, I won't add insult to injury."

Le Anning is a person who can't keep quiet. She talks about all kinds of gossips about Tao Ziyi and her mother-in-law Zheng, and how she trained her daughters-in-law to "favor" Shi Mingzhu.

Full of complaints.

Tao Ziyi was interested at first, but became bored after listening to it too much.

Over and over again, it was just the same things and those words, all of which were nothing but envy, jealousy and hatred for Shi Mingzhu, and how Shi Mingzhu had betrayed her brothers and sister-in-law, and how she was cold-hearted and had no conscience.

After chatting for more than an hour, she said she was tired and sent Le An Ning away.

As it was getting dark, Wang Fan came back.

At night, Wang Fan pestered Le An Ning and Tao Ziyi to talk about their past lives.

Tao Ziyi became even more annoyed. She had no choice but to tell them everything she knew before sending them both away.

The moon is above the willows, and the night is deep and quiet.

Tao Ziyi turned over and her hand suddenly touched the heat source. She woke up with a start. When she opened her eyes, she saw a figure like a wall in front of her, covering her entire body.

She was so scared that she opened her mouth to scream, but the man covered her mouth in time and whispered, "Don't scream, it's me."

Tao Ziyi slapped his hand hard and bit it with her teeth. When he let go, she shouted angrily, "Shi Mingzhen, how did you get in?"

Shi Mingzhen shook his hands, took a hissing breath, and chuckled. Two crow's feet appeared at the corners of his eyes. The dim light made his face look even more handsome and elegant. His every move was refined and noble.

He deliberately made his words ambiguous: "Since he couldn't get in through the main gate, he naturally had to climb over the wall. Ziyi's temper is much more aggressive than before."

Tao Ziyi glanced at Bai Xi who was sleeping on the couch, gathered up the quilt, and sneered: "Mr. Shi San can actually climb over the wall! You better get out of here, or I'll call someone over and both sides will be embarrassed."

Shi Mingzhen sat on the edge of the bed and leaned over to touch her belly: "Just think of me as coming to visit Song Ge'er. It's only natural for a father to visit his son, right?"

Tao Ziyi stepped back in fear and slapped him with her hand.

This time, Shi Mingzhen didn't let her go. He quickly grabbed her wrist and said coldly, "Tao Ziyi, stop making trouble."

How could Tao Ziyi listen to him? She slapped him hard in the face, crisp, loud and pleasant.

When Shi Mingzhen was confused, Tao Ziyi kicked him in the abdomen.

Shi Mingzhen immediately curled up like a cooked shrimp and fell off the kang, covering half of his body on the edge of the kang: "Ziyi..."

He had just uttered these two cold words when a dagger was placed on his neck.

Shi Mingzhen didn't dare to move. He met Tao Ziyi's cold eyes.

"Shi Mingzhen, do you think I am still the same person as before? Am I the person who becomes happy like a fool just by your coaxing? Don't pretend. You don't care about me or the child. You know how perfunctory you are to me and the child."

Shi Mingzhen's heart went cold, all his arrogance was crushed to dust under this dagger: "No, Ziyi, I am sincere to you. It's just that I was blinded by one thing, you are too obedient, too easy to coax, I didn't realize it.

The moment I wrote the divorce letter, I knew I was wrong, totally wrong. I had you in my heart. I shouldn't have treated you like that. Give me a chance, and we can get back together. Do you think I can do it well? "

Tao Ziyi pressed the dagger into his flesh, and a hint of blood spread out: "Do you think I will still believe you? You have lied to me so many times! If I believe you again, I will be a pig!"

Shi Mingzhen closed his eyes, enduring the pain that a man could not bear: "Ziyi, those harsh words were all to keep you, not to make you angry. I really have no other way. The bastard in your dream is not me, don't treat us as the same person."

Tao Ziyi leaned close to his face and smiled strangely: "Really? You are not the same person, you are not that bastard, then, how many portraits do you have hidden in your study?"

Shi Mingzhen's eyelids twitched: "What portrait?"

"A portrait of Shi Mingzhu."

Shi Mingzhen's heart suddenly sank: "What else do you know?"

Is this the so-called "dirty thing" that she openly threatened yesterday?

Tao Ziyi's eyes were empty and she was completely disappointed. It turned out that Shi Mingzhen had hidden Shi Mingzhu's portrait so early.

"It's nothing. It's just that in the dream, when you died, you didn't want anything to be buried with you. You just asked someone to bury Shi Mingzhu's portrait with you in the same coffin."

Shi Mingzhen's heart sank to the bottom. He felt pity for her pain, but was also annoyed that his secret was discovered. "Ziyi, believe me, I don't have such thoughts. The bastard in the dream didn't have the thoughts you think. It's just that we doted on Zhuzhu too much. Doting on her has become a habit. We don't even treat ourselves as well as we treat her."

"Then you can continue to spoil her." Tao Ziyi made up her mind and stabbed the dagger into his shoulder, then kicked him away. While he was dazed, she jumped off the bed and stabbed him twice, then knocked over the glass lamp, grabbed the trembling Bai Shi who had woken up from the shock, and cried out at the top of her throat:

"Help! Help! There's a scoundrel! There's a scoundrel breaking into my room!"
