The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 145: Not Allowed to Do Good Deeds

Shi Mingkui was wrong to slap him, and it was hypocritical to persuade him. After a while, he heard the crying subside, and then he said, "Every family has its own problems. Your sister-in-law also pestered me last night and asked me to make a decision for her, saying that Shi Yao bullied her.

How could I dare to pick a fight with Shi Yao at this moment? I could only advise her to be patient.

You, you just slept with a few girls, it's only in our family, what's the big deal for other families? They don't even mention it. If you take advantage of them, don't act like a good kid.

I'm afraid that Sixth Brother's wife is crying harder and more miserably than you at this moment. I guess she was anxious because she couldn't get pregnant, and she heard someone gossiping about her, so she did such an indecent thing..."

Shi Mingmo buried his face in his palms and cried in a muffled voice, "Fourth brother! Stop teasing me. It wasn't me who slept with the maid to take advantage of her. It was me who was slept with by those three wolf-like little bitches!"

Pfft——Shi Mingkui tried hard to hold back his laughter, his shoulders shaking. When he saw him raise his tearful eyes to glare at him, he stopped laughing and scolded him with a stern face:

"A real man should shed blood but not tears. How can you cry so much? Even a little boy like Lian Fan understands this principle, but why don't you understand it and act like a little girl? Come on, you've cried enough. Go back and check on your sister-in-law. I wonder where she's hiding and crying."

Shi Mingmo shook his head vigorously: "No, no, no, I won't go back! This morning, she gave those three little hooves a face-splitting job and made me a regular maid. If I go back, she will trick me into drinking drugged tea and snacks, how can I live?"

Shi Mingkui smiled faintly and said, "My sister-in-law should be sensible and not exhaust all the resources."

Shi Mingmo beat his chest and stamped his feet, unable to express himself clearly due to his clumsy mouth: "Brother, you don't understand, you don't understand, it's not that I can't live because of my health, it's... yes, I slept with the girl, I feel uncomfortable!

Last night, in my new room with her, on the bed she brought with her, wuwuwu, brother, you have never slept with a maid, so you don’t understand how I feel.

"Sister-in-law will neither take the initiative to find a maid for you, nor will she give up her room and bed for you to hang out with the maid. Brother, imagine if Sister-in-law did this, what would you think?"

Shi Mingkui stopped smiling, patted his shoulder, and said sympathetically, "I understand now. Hey, your sister-in-law's behavior was indeed a bit excessive."

Maids were not allowed to approach his and Gong Xuan's bed. Gong Xuan only allowed an elderly nanny to make the bed and fold the quilt, and she would not allow him any pleasure at all.

Although women should not be jealous, if she is not jealous at all, she will even give up the bridal chamber where she married her husband and the wedding bed she brought from her parents' home to let her husband and the maid fool around. It sounds wrong no matter how you look at it.

Therefore, if you understand this, you will know why Lao Liu is so sad.

After hearing what his brother said, Shi Mingmo stood up excitedly, punched his brother's chest lightly, and said with tears in his eyes: "Brother, I know that you understand me best!"

Shi Mingkui advised him to go back, but he stood there for a while and asked someone to find out what was wrong with Wang Fan these days.

The servant went away and came back after a while with a detailed report.

Shi Mingkui frowned deeply, and in a moment, he walked towards Shi Mingzhu's Lanpeiyuan.

By then, Shi Mingzhen had come to visit Shi Mingzhu.

It turned out that recently the sisters-in-law had been making a fuss, getting crazy, or getting pregnant, and gradually stopped coming to Lanpei Courtyard. Shi Mingzhen was afraid that Shi Mingzhu would be lonely, so he often came to visit her.

When Shi Mingkui came in, Shi Mingzhen was talking to his sister about the news his men had brought back from Nanjing.

"…There was nothing unusual, and I hadn't heard that Ji had any nightmares. The mother and daughter didn't have any business to make money, so they lived a life that was not poor, but not rich either.

Ji once set up a stall and did small business, but the clan members of the old house persuaded her to go back to avoid bringing shame to the family. Later, she did some needlework to supplement the family income, and Shi Yao occasionally painted some novel patterns to exchange for silver.

When Shi Yao was young, she once said that something had grown in her brain, but no one took it seriously. I wonder if this is the abnormality you are asking about?"

Shi Mingzhu's heart was pounding, and her eyelids were twitching. She asked hurriedly, "Do you know what's growing on you?"

Shi Mingzhen took a sip of tea and said, "I don't know. Ji said she had a headache due to typhoid fever, fever and delirium. After that, Shi Yao never mentioned it again, and gradually no one remembered it.

My subordinate was able to find out from the maid who had served Shi Yao that Shi Yao had indeed caught a cold when she said these words.

Shi Mingzhu clenched her palms tightly.

For some reason, she felt a sense of crisis.

The thing in Shi Yao's mind is very important and may be very dangerous to her.

Shi Mingzhen added: "Ji told people that she had bad luck and wanted to accumulate virtue for her daughter so that she could have good luck, so she often gave her surplus money to the poor.

I admire her for this. She has been doing good deeds for more than ten years. It is obvious that she is not pretending, but really wants to accumulate virtue. Shi Yao now often talks about doing good deeds and accumulates virtue, and she also puts it into practice. I think she was influenced by her aunt. "

Shi Yao really did good deeds and spent a lot of money. A rough calculation showed that she had spent two thousand taels of silver on donations in less than half a year since she came to the capital!

Although she is a nouveau riche, she doesn't buy gold, silver or jewelry to pile on herself, nor does she buy rouge or powder to put on her face. She prefers to do charity, which is far from being a nouveau riche.

Although she was generous, she spent very little money on other things except charity, and she never bought expensive gifts for anyone. Every time she gave an expensive gift, she just resold the gifts given to her by others to make up the number.

Shi Mingzhu made a careful comparison.

The "Shi Yao" in the previous life and the Shi Yao in this life look more and more like two different people.

Apart from their similar faces and the unique temperament of a time-traveling woman, the two are not alike in other aspects, especially their personalities, which are very different.

In her previous life, "Shi Yao" had never donated a large sum of money. Instead, she was extremely greedy for money and would hug anything good she saw.

She murmured, "Third brother, do you think doing good deeds can really accumulate virtue?"

Shi Mingzhen sneered, "Sister, don't be naive. If you can accumulate virtue, those wealthy people who have done evil can donate money, wouldn't they be able to offset their sins with so-called merits? Those corrupt officials wouldn't have lost their heads."

After that, he whispered, "If it were possible, Ji had done good deeds for more than ten years, Shi Yao would not still be a concubine, and no one in the mansion likes her. Sister, don't let anyone deceive her."

He knew that Shi Mingzhu was the most careless person, and she didn't know the value of wine and vinegar, or the cost of firewood, rice, oil, and salt. If she believed that doing good deeds could accumulate virtue, she might donate all the "lucky things" she had for the sake of family peace.

Therefore, Shi Mingzhen certainly had to stop her from thinking this way.

Shi Mingzhu was thinking, could the unrest in the Shi family be related to what was in Shi Yao's mind? Could it be related to doing good deeds?

Regardless of whether it is related or not, she must not let Shi Yao continue to do good deeds.

The unknown thing in Shi Yao's mind made her feel uneasy.

Thinking about the news Shi Mi reported to her a few days ago, Shi Mingzhu pleaded softly: "Third brother, can you find a way to take back the badge in Aunt Liu Hua's hand and stop her from leaving the house at will?"
