Chapter 169 Jealousy
Chapter 169 Jealousy
Shi Mingzhu's pretty face was gloomy and she pursed her lips tightly.
If Shi Yao was not the "Shi Yao" in her previous life, how could she place her hatred?
What's more, she has already torn her relationship with Shi Yao, who has no goodwill towards the Duke's Mansion, so she can only get rid of Shi Yao step by step.
At the gate of Lanpei Courtyard, Shi Mingzhu stopped and said coldly: "Then I will also advise my second sister to be honest and obedient. The Duke's Mansion is not a place for you to stir up trouble. If you continue to talk nonsense like you did today and ruin the reputation of the Eight Brothers, I will never let you off!"
Shi Yao looked up and down at Shi Mingzhu in surprise: "Are you talking in your sleep, elder sister? When will you forgive me? As soon as I entered the mansion, you falsely accused me of pushing you into the water, and you have never apologized to me.
That vicious wet nurse beside you stabbed me. Do you dare to use the Duke's Mansion, no, I will swear on your eight good brothers that you don't know anything about it?
Do you dare to say that my second brother hates me for no reason and wants to ruin my reputation, and it has nothing to do with you?
Tsk, big sister is so shameless! It's obviously you who are restless and dishonest. The Duke's Mansion is in such a mess because of you and your wet nurse. But you turn the tables and teach me to be honest and obedient!
I also advise the elder sister to be more honest and stop doing things that would ruin the glory of our Shi family, the legacy of our ancestors, and the blessings accumulated by our grandparents."
Shi Mingzhu had no way to refute it. After a long while, she finally managed to say something that was considered soft: "At that time, I didn't know you were not her."
Shi Yao smiled brightly: "Now that we know, the past grudges are written off. From now on, big sister, please behave yourself and don't make trouble. We are still good sisters."
Shi Mingzhu really couldn't bring herself to be good sisters with Shi Yao.
She originally wanted to scare Shi Yao, get some evidence against her as a wandering ghost, and temporarily appease her so that she could free up her hands to deal with Fu Nanjun and the others.
These sisters-in-law are now putting pressure on my father in the court. We can’t delay any longer. The Shi family needs other external forces to overcome the difficulties.
Shi Yao is just a little flea with no power.
She didn't take Shi Yao seriously and thought she could easily deal with her. Now she realized that she was wrong.
Shi Yao is the most difficult one to deal with.
Behind Shi Yao are the old man and the old lady.
Shi Yao made such a big fuss today that even Marquis Ningyuan made a fool of the Shi family. However, because she tricked Marquis Ningyuan and left, the old man let it go and even praised her for being smart.
This gave her a sense of crisis.
The old man and the old lady should punish Shi Yao severely and hate her.
How can I let it go?
The old lady didn't even say a word of blame. Instead, she was only concerned about whether Shi Yao was wronged.
Shi Mingzhu felt the suffocation in her heart again.
It was faint and vague, somewhat similar to the feeling she had in her previous life when she suddenly heard that Zhou Shao had a secret lover in his house.
This feeling is called jealousy.
How is it that Shi Yao can always get away with it unscathed after causing trouble?
She had never been favored to this extent in her previous life!
Shi Yao saw her expression changing constantly and didn't say anything for a long time. He smiled at her, bowed and went back to Guanju Courtyard.
Take a nap, and when you wake up, check how much silver was confiscated, and then think about writing a letter of self-criticism.
Headache!
How come we have to write a self-criticism for something that has never been written in modern times in our previous lives?
Outrageous!
?
Shi Yao had no idea how much psychological trauma her words had left on Shi Mingzhu.
Shi Mingzhu was a sensitive and thoughtful person to begin with. After hearing what Shi Yao said, she had a nightmare that night.
In the dream, the innocent little Mingzhu cried and asked her why she was killed? She was innocent!
Shi Mingzhu woke up from a nightmare, sat up, bent her knees, hugged her knees, and felt cold all over.
Two lines of tears rolled down from my eyes.
Why did God let her be reborn?
She felt a faint resentment in her heart. Since she was reborn, why did she let her sisters-in-law be reborn as well?
Who will be reborn in the future?
Will it be even more disadvantageous to the Shi family?
She didn't know, she just had a vague feeling that everything was wrong, very wrong!
But this kind of thing cannot be told to anyone.
You can't tell anyone.
I was so lost in thought that I couldn't fall asleep in the middle of the night. Therefore, when I went to Ganlu Hall to pay my respects early in the morning, I was in a daze, pale, and weak all over. I just wanted to pay my respects to my grandmother and quickly go to lie down with my mother.
Soon, Shi Yao also arrived.
Seeing that Shi Yao was in high spirits, with bright eyes and full of energy, and she wanted to jump up and down when she walked, Shi Mingzhu was secretly envious and jealous, but also hated Shi Yao for destroying her mind.
Shi Minghui appeared out of nowhere. Everyone wanted to ask him where he had been hiding yesterday, but they were afraid of embarrassing him, so they had to endure it.
Shi Mingchen let out a long sigh.
Fortunately, he has an eighth brother who is more shameful than him, otherwise he would be the only object of everyone's ridicule today.
Then I thought, all the brothers in the same family had broken off the engagement, so why did everyone stop paying attention to the eighth brother and start paying attention to him instead when he came?
At this moment, Shi Mingchen's mood was extremely complicated, both humble and arrogant.
Shi Mingzhu and Shi Yao went inside to pay their respects, while the others paid their respects outside the door.
At one point, all the children and grandchildren had paid their respects and were about to leave, leaving the lady behind to recuperate, but the Duke of Zhenguo stopped them and ordered them to go to the ancestral hall.
All the children and grandchildren bowed and agreed.
The old Duke glanced at Shi Yao, who was in high spirits and gloating over other people's misfortunes. His heavy heart suddenly lightened up, and he said, "The second girl will go too."
Sure enough, the next moment, Shi Yao's bright smiling face collapsed and turned into a little bitter gourd.
The old Duke felt even happier.
Shi Yao said bitterly: "Grandfather, I am a girl, how can I enter the ancestral hall? Please forgive me, I can stay in Guanju Courtyard and reflect on my mistakes."
Shi Minghui glanced at her coldly.
Thanks to Shi Yao, his already bad reputation became even worse, and now he even has to bear the bad reputation of being unfilial, which is a heinous crime.
Forget it, since she got Ning Yuanhou away, I will forgive her for now.
The old Duke said solemnly with a straight face: "Stop talking so much. If I tell you to go, you should go! This is to give you dignity."
Shi Yao was very angry and bowed dejectedly to agree.
She doesn't want this kind of decency!
Brothers and sisters in the same family should be together and together, so why shouldn't Shi Mingzhu and Shi Mingzhen go?
The emperor didn't mention their names, but he didn't mention her name either.
Not long after, the old Duke led a large group of people to the ancestral hall, and Ganlu Hall suddenly became quiet.
The Duke of Zhenguo called Shi Mingzhu and Shi Mingzhen and asked with concern, "Zhuzhu, didn't you sleep well last night?"
Shi Mingzhu hid her shame and answered with a guilty conscience: "The mansion was in a commotion yesterday, with one thing after another. I was worried about my seventh and eighth brothers, so I couldn't sleep all night."
"Hey, these two good-for-nothing brats!" The Duke of Zhenguo cursed and then got down to business. "Zhuzhu, the flood in Fengzhou, your dream has come true! Mingzhen, the booklet you and Mingkui sent me last time, I thought it was nonsense and burned it..."
He paused here. Shi Mingzhen was quick to respond and said with a smile, "I know that my uncle won't believe it and wants to burn it to prevent future troubles. I copied a copy early and will send it to my uncle soon."
