Chapter 279 Dog Blood
Just one sentence made Qin Xuerong so angry that her heart beat faster and her face turned pale.
Lin Ge'er had ruined his path to success in the imperial examinations, and he himself was only interested in going into battle and killing the enemy. She struggled for a long time before finally compromising.
Therefore, he deliberately begged his mother to find a famous knight, hoping that he could really learn martial arts and make a different path.
But I didn't expect him to be so dissatisfied!
Hearing this, Shen Shuyi said sympathetically: "Mother, Sixth Brother has indeed lost a lot of weight, and when it comes to martial arts, too much is as bad as too little, it's not something that can be achieved overnight."
Qin Xuerong was smiling but not really smiling. Now she could hardly pretend to smile in front of Shen Shuyi. She just said, "Sister Yi is right, but if Brother Lin doesn't suffer this hardship today, he will suffer more in the future when he goes to the battlefield."
Shen Jinglin thought that Shen Shuyi would comfort him after hearing this, but unexpectedly, Shen Shuyi nodded and said seriously: "Mother is right. In this case, Brother Lin should practice martial arts well and become a young general who kills enemies in battle and is famous all over the world as soon as possible."
Qin Xuerong didn't find anything wrong with what he said, but she had a hunch that Shen Shuyi wouldn't be so kind.
Shen Shuyi didn't speak for him, Shen Jinglin was a little disappointed, but when he heard the words "young general", he couldn't help but be moved.
If he endures for another two years, who knows what changes will occur. When he arrives at the barracks, will he have the opportunity to fight in the battlefield?
If I keep waiting like this, I don’t know when I will become famous.
Who knows, maybe by then, they will go back on their word and not allow him to go!
Fortunately, he was ready.
This trip to the Jade Buddha Temple is a good opportunity to escape. Once he escapes from the Shen family and gets rid of those who are staring at him, he can carry out his ambitions.
Seeing this, the smile in Shen Shuyi's eyes deepened.
Yes, that's how it should be.
It doesn't make sense that she is the only one being plotted against by Qin Xuerong and Shen Jingyu, while they are all fine.
As she spoke, Qin Xuerong's eyes fell on Qin Xin behind Shen Shuyi, and she frowned and said, "Sister Yi has a new maid? She's quite pretty."
Shen Shuyi smiled and said, "I thought that my father has been lacking people to serve him recently, so I planned to find two well-behaved and smart girls for him. However, my father may not be willing to accept them, so Shuyi will stay by his side and train them first."
Qin Xin's eyes twitched: "???"
What does this mean?
Why did she understand each word individually, but not understand them together...
Could it be that this lady wanted to give her to Shen Jingchuan as a concubine? ? ?
Upon hearing this, Qin Xuerong's eyes turned red, and there was an indescribable murderous intent in her gaze as she stared at Qin Xin.
Indeed, there haven't been any new people in the Shen Mansion for a long time.
But...even if someone comes in, it must not be Shen Shuyi's person!
When she thought about how Shen Jingchuan had ignored her these days and never gave her a good look no matter how she tried to please him, Qin Xuerong felt so angry that her teeth were itching.
"Sister Yi is really filial. She is so thoughtful."
Shen Shuyi curled his eyes: "Maybe it's because of this that my father loves me so much."
These few words made Qin Xuerong so angry that she almost vomited blood.
As they were talking, Old Madam Shen slowly appeared, supported by Aunt Qiulian. Accompanying her were her trusted maids and two doctors that the old lady often used.
Shen Shuyi took a look and found that Madam Shen was still not in a very good condition.
Perhaps it was because the cause of the fire that day was his painting, so Madam Shen has not been very warm to him these days.
But in the end, the least popular one was Shen Jingyu.
Madam Shen raised her eyes and glanced, but didn't see Shen Jingyu. She couldn't help but frowned and asked, "Why don't you see Sister Yu?"
As the top priority of this trip, Shen Jingyu naturally had to go.
Qin Xuerong said quickly, "Sister Yu is worried that it will be bad for everyone in the mansion, so you have to make more preparations before going out, at least to suppress the evil spirit in your body."
Hearing this, Madam Shen nodded with satisfaction.
At this time, Shen Jingyu came slowly over wearing a moon-white skirt with silver silk hibiscus pattern. She wore a bean yellow Shu brocade coat over the skirt, which was embroidered with patterns of the same color. It was not very common, but also beautiful.
Shen Shuyi narrowed his eyes. He had to admit that Shen Jingyu was quite adaptable. At least Qin Xuerong couldn't do this.
"Hello, grandma." Shen Jingyu stopped a few meters away from Old Madam Shen and bowed respectfully.
Old Madam Shen leaned on the dragon-headed cane with one hand, nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Do you have the amulet that the Taoist priest gave you?"
Shen Jingyu looked calm and said respectfully: "Jingyu has been carrying this amulet with her. She put it in the sachet on her waist and dare not leave it."
Old Madam Shen nodded, her frown relaxed a little, and she was obviously satisfied.
Then, Shen Jingyu continued, "Not only that, Jingyu, please imitate the runes written by Taoist Taixu and ask the embroiderer to embroider the runes on the dress. In this way, if you wear it every day, I believe it will be able to suppress the evil spirit."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's attention fell on Shen Jingyu. Seeing that the rich lady who was once highly sought after and famous in the capital had now fallen to this point, they all felt more pity for her for a moment.
"Alas, I don't know how the young lady got infected with this unclean thing. I really hope that the monks in the Jade Buddha Temple can completely remove it this time."
"That's right. Actually, it's not the young lady's fault. Maybe it's because the young lady has too much luck that the evil spirit couldn't help but approach her..."
Jinzhu glanced at the two people who spoke and said bluntly, "People with strong luck and noble fate are not approached by evil spirits. Otherwise, how can you talk about nobility?"
With just one sentence, the maidservant was speechless.
But no matter what, Shen Jingyu's considerate and calm behavior immediately won her a wave of goodwill.
Madam Shen noticed that Shen Jingyu was wearing a Taoist wooden hairpin on her head, and she couldn't help but soften her tone and said, "You are thoughtful."
Shen Jingyu said respectfully: "It is my fault for accidentally provoking the evil spirit. I hope Grandmother will forgive me."
Such an attitude really made Old Lady Shen unable to find fault with him: "Don't worry, this time when we go to the Jade Buddha Temple, we will definitely drive away this evil spirit and give you peace."
"Thank you, grandma." Shen Jingyu lowered her eyes, neither humble nor arrogant. Although she was dressed much plainer, she still looked elegant and luxurious.
"Okay, it's getting late, let's get going."
As soon as Madam Shen gave the order, the group left the house in an orderly manner.
The Shen Mansion's carriages were already waiting in front of the door, and the one in front was naturally Madam Shen's.
Old Madam Shen now felt annoyed whenever she saw Qin Xuerong, and was wary of Shen Jingyu, so she only took Zhang Jinping from the second house with her in the same carriage.
The rest of the people had been arranged, and they filed out and waited on the side, ready to get on the bus.
In order not to offend others, Shen Jingyu deliberately came last and walked out of the gate slowly and elegantly without any haste.
At this moment, there was a loud "whoosh"!
A basin full of dog blood fell from the sky and poured down on her head like a torrential rain. It was so fierce that in an instant, this elegant lady was soaked to the bone!
That’s right, it’s real melodrama!
