The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 342 In her previous life, she hanged herself

That day, before dark, Wang Fan went to the government office to go through the divorce procedures.

After Shi Mingmo left Ganlu Hall, he hid himself, and no one knew where he hid.

Wang Fan was just packing up her dowry at a cheap price.

Considering that Shi Mingzhen did not allow Tao Ziyi to take away the dowry, Wang Fan only packed up her valuables, loaded two carriages, and left quickly.

Fu Nanjun reminded her: "You have made a big fuss this time. Now that you have vented your anger, you should run as far as you can. The old master is already suspicious of you. If he finds any evidence against you, you will be in big trouble."

Wang Fan smiled with relief and shook Fu Nanjun's hand: "Sister-in-law, I will call you sister-in-law for the last time. I understand all this. I have only one life left and I am not afraid of life or death. However, of course, it is better to live a miserable life than to die.

I have anticipated all kinds of situations. This time, I will go far away. I only ask my sister-in-law to consider our past friendship and ask the old master to take care of the Wang family. "

Her father was sent to a post outside the capital, and Wang Fan divorced her husband, so she naturally went to live with her father.

She was afraid that the Duke's Mansion would start with the Ministry of Personnel, deprive her father of his political achievements, or let her colleagues frame him.

Fu Nanjun said with a bald head: "I agree, you can run away without worry."

Her grandfather should have been enjoying his old age, but recently he had been running around for the Shi family's affairs and had even been to the palace several times.

Fu Nanjun felt deeply sorry for the old man.

Wang Fan finally hugged Fu Nanjun, Le Anning, and Shi Yao, waved his hand, and then got into the carriage in a leisurely manner, heading towards the unknown future.

The three aunts and sisters-in-law felt disappointed and stood there for a while before returning to their own courtyards.

They didn't know that on the morning of the third day, when Wang Fan left Beijing and just walked out of the city gate, she met Shi Mingmo.

Wang Fan was just preparing to fight him out of this or have a big quarrel with him, when Second Madam Shen suddenly showed up and personally brought people to tie Shi Mingmo up and bring him back.

Wang Fan bowed to Shen Fuli from a distance, then turned around and ordered the driver to drive faster.

Shi Mingmo struggled hard, having not slept for days. His eyes were bloodshot and he shouted, "Second Aunt, let me go! I want to find her and ask her what I have done to deserve this. Not only did she abandon me, but she also spread rumors all over the capital. What sin did I commit in my previous life?"

Shen was not polite at all. She slapped him in the face and then poured the cold tea in the car on his face: "Shi Mingmo, wake up!"

The carriage swayed.

Shi Mingmo's shouting suddenly disappeared. After a while, he raised his dull eyes and asked painfully, "Second Aunt, why? One night of marriage is equivalent to a hundred days of love. What's more, we were so loving in the past.

She was infertile, and I only comforted her and never blamed her. She drugged me and forced me to take a maid, which I did. She wanted to live in the family temple in peace, and I agreed.

I always give in to her, why is she still unsatisfied? Why did she repay me with hatred? Why did she abandon me? Are women's hearts made of stone?"

Seeing that he had calmed down, Shen reached out to help him up, untied the ropes on him, and wiped his face with a handkerchief.

After she had sorted him out to look like a human being, she slowly said, "I asked Shi Yunfan, and that guy was tight-lipped. I asked him several times, and he told me that in his previous life, you lived to be old and gray, while Wang Fan only lived to be in her thirties, and she hanged herself. Apart from this, he refused to say a word more."

There was a loud bang in Shi Mingmo's head, as if a cannonball had exploded, and everything went blank in an instant.

His lips trembled slightly, then his whole body shook like a sieve, and finally his throat broke like a gong and he let out a hoarse scream of "Ah-ah-ah--"

Shen turned her head and wiped her tears silently.

After asking this question, even the old Duke gave up on investigating what Wang Fan had done. Otherwise, how could Wang Fan have left Beijing so easily and smoothly?

Shi Mingmo was unwilling to return home, unwilling to live in Zigui Garden which was full of memories of Wang Fan, and unwilling to face everyone's strange looks. So Shen sent him to a private residence of the Shi family and left a few guards with good kung fu to guard him day and night for twelve hours.

After settling Shi Mingmo, Shen slowly let out a breath.

She had a premonition that the Shi family might never be able to regain its former glory.

She did not hesitate any longer. It happened that people in the capital were discussing the news of Shi Mingmo's infertility. It was inconvenient for her to go out, so she took a few days off and took her two grandsons to travel around the capital.

After having enough fun, she sent her grandson to the Tao family, and took the betrothal gifts to the Tao family as well, adding another 10,000 taels of silver as support for her two grandsons.

She had a private discussion with the second master of the Tao family for half an hour. This time, Second Uncle Tao did not insist on taking the betrothal gifts back to the Shi family, but gladly accepted them.

Tang Zhan, who was staying at the Duke's Mansion, saw that the Shi family was in a mess. He stayed in the yard for several days, attracting no attention.

He was not a quiet person, so he took the opportunity of Shen's free time to say goodbye.

Shen smiled tiredly and said, "I wanted to ask my sons to take you around, but I didn't expect so many things to happen at home. We are sorry for not hosting you well enough."

Tang Zhan said respectfully, "Aunt, you are too polite. This time when I came back to Beijing, I learned a lot. Everyone in the mansion treated me like their own nephew. I am very grateful. I wonder if I can see my second sister again before leaving Beijing? She and I are friends."

Shen declined: "She has been busy these days, learning how to cook and embroidering dowry. She is so busy that she has no time to rest. I asked her to go out for a stroll the other day, but she didn't agree."

Tang Zhan felt deeply regretful and his cheeks turned slightly red.

However, when Tang Zhan went to Ganlu Hall to bid farewell to his mother-in-law, he met Shi Yao, who was attending to him.

When the news of Shi Mingmo's infertility spread, an old lady in the clan came to verify it. When the old lady heard it, her already unhealthy health became worse and she fell ill again.

In the past two days, Shi Yao came to take care of the patient whenever she was free.

When Tang Zhan came to say goodbye, she remembered that there was such a "former blind date" in the mansion.

Tang Zhan said his farewell words and expressed his condolences to the lady. Shi Yao then sent him out and said with a smile, "Master Xiao Tang will surely have a bright future on this journey."

Tang Zhan had seen the weakness of the third generation of the Shi family. As a good man, he was naturally ambitious. He smiled and said, "Thank you for your blessing, second sister. I also wish you a smooth life and a happy marriage with your future brother-in-law."

Shi Yao thanked him and chatted with him about the customs and practices of the border. Then she looked at his hands and said, "You have a lot of calluses on your palms. It shows that people who have really been on the battlefield are different from my brothers who are just empty-handed."

Tang Zhan turned his palm over and said, "People who practice martial arts often hold weapons, so their hands are rough and there are more calluses on the palms. I hope Second Sister is not scared?"

"How could that be? We are all martial artists in the family. My grandfather has more calluses on his hands than you do. He usually wears silk clothes and doesn't dare to touch them for fear of snagging them." Shi Yao hurriedly shook her head and mentioned it inadvertently, "Come to think of it, the last time I saw His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince, he also had a lot of calluses on his palms.

I was very surprised at the time. How could a prince who lived a life of luxury have such rough hands? Later I heard that when he entered the capital, he drove the carriage himself... It seems that being born in the royal family is no different from us ordinary people. What kind of life you live depends entirely on whether you are favored or not.

I see that the Fourth Prince is as white as jade, and his face is even whiter than mine. If my elder sister follows him, it won’t be too bad to become his concubine in the future.”
