Chapter 34: The Wisher Takes the Bait

Aunt Liu turned her head and said, "Okay, you did something wrong in this matter. The prince and the princess are generous and don't care about you, but we can't ignore you. Go to the ancestral hall and think about it."

"But mother..." Shen Fengjiao was dissatisfied, but Aunt Liu didn't give her a chance to defend herself, and directly called the nanny on the side to come and drag her away.

"Your Majesty, the child in the family is ignorant today and has disturbed your rest. I can't stay with you here. I hope Your Majesty won't care about it." Shen Chusheng and Aunt Liu saw that Shen Fengjiao had been taken away, so they hurriedly came to help. Huo Weilou apologized, but their rhetoric directly eliminated Shen Fengjiao's behavior, saying that it was just a child's mischief. If Huo Weilou cared about it, it would seem that Huo Weilou was stingy.

Fortunately, Huo Weilou didn't want to argue with them. Seeing that it was getting late, he had no intention of talking to them about anything. He nodded to show that he understood and went back to the study.

Shen Xinyue followed closely behind.

Seeing that Huo Weilou and Shen Xinyue had left, Shen Chusheng reached out his hand and pinched the sweat from his forehead.

He turned to stare at Aunt Liu, with an indifference in his eyes that Aunt Liu had never seen before.

"Look at the good daughter you raised!"

"Me!" Aunt Liu wanted to argue, but she held it back and just lowered her head to admit her mistake.

After all, she is just a concubine now, and no matter how beautiful she is, it is all based on Shen Chusheng's attitude towards her. If she offends Shen Chusheng with her words, it will be called a loss outweighing the gain.

"It's the master. It's because of my lax discipline that I almost made Jiaojiao become a big deal. Master, please punish me. I am willing to go to the ancestral hall with Jiaojiao." Aunt Liu said and knelt on the ground.

Looking at Aunt Liu who was crying in front of her, the anger in Shen Chusheng's heart also dissipated a lot. He waved his hand: "Okay, okay, you go and talk to her properly."

After saying that, he walked towards the backyard.

Aunt Liu knelt there and bit her lip helplessly. She didn't know which vixen Shen Chusheng had gone to find! If it was a normal day, she would have stepped forward to stop him, but at this time Aunt Liu knew that Shen Chusheng was going to find a vixen. Chusheng was so angry that of course she didn't dare to follow him and touch his bad luck, so she could only stand up and walk towards the ancestral hall.

"Let me out, I was framed! I want to see my father..."

Aunt Liu had just walked to the door of the ancestral hall when she heard Shen Fengjiao's shouts coming from inside.

She opened the door and walked in, startling Shen Fengjiao who was leaning against the door and shouting.

After seeing clearly that the person who came in was Aunt Liu, Shen Fengjiao cried and threw herself into her arms.

Aunt Liu held Shen Fengjiao in her arms without making a sound. She just patted her back slowly and silently comforted her. After a while, Shen Fengjiao stopped sobbing.

Aunt Liu then took her hand and walked to the futon and sat down.

The boy on the side saw this and walked out wisely, leaving the space inside to the mother and daughter.

Aunt Liu then asked: "Tell me, what happened today?"

"I was framed by Shen Xinyue today!" Shen Fengjiao was still very excited when she mentioned this.

"Framing? It was obviously you who went to her yard, so why did she frame you?"

"I didn't want to go there on purpose. I just heard you say that the person she married was the prince. I didn't believe it, so I wanted to go there to inquire about the situation. Who knew that I overheard Shen Xinyue's personal maid saying that they The two of them slept in separate rooms. I didn't believe it at first, and then I asked a guard specifically, and got the same answer. Then I guessed that they were pretending to be a couple, so I thought about it while the prince was at our house. , I might have a chance... But after I just went there, I realized that this was not the case! They teamed up to lie to me! Shen Xinyue lived with Huo Weilou, and I was like a clown. Xinyue was teased! "

"I don't think so." Aunt Liu shook her head and began to think seriously about the development of the matter.

"Look, you did it on an impromptu basis today, and Shen Xinyue and the prince were both having dinner in the outer hall at that time. How could Shen Xinyue know in advance that you would go to her yard? And also arrange for her to do so. Maid and guards, you know that the prince has brought so many guards, how does she know which one you will ask?"

When Aunt Liu analyzed this, Shen Fengjiao's eyes lit up: "So what the maid said is true? The two of them really have always slept in separate rooms and are pretending to be a couple!"

"I'm not sure about this, but what the maid said shouldn't lie. As for you just happened to meet them when you went there today... maybe Shen Xinyue found out about your inquiry during the day, so she came here specially to take precautions. your."

"This bitch! I knew it was her who was behind the scenes! You said that she planned to marry the prince, but she couldn't win his heart. So what's wrong with letting me go? Even if she hates me, she said After all, she and I are also biological sisters, so it’s better than taking advantage of others, right? But this bitch Shen Xinyue is so wary of me!"

After hearing what Shen Fengjiao said, Aunt Liu also started to think about it. She felt that what Shen Fengjiao said was quite reasonable.

Even if the matter goes to Shen Chusheng, I'm afraid he will support his actions. As we all know, Shen Xinyue is a idiot. Even if she is lucky enough to marry Huo Weilou, she will not be able to get Huo Weilou's wholehearted love. It is better to let Jiaojiao come before her. To replace Shen Xinyue and win Huo Weilou's heart, this would be beneficial to the entire Shen family.

"Mom, what are you thinking about?" Seeing that she couldn't get a response from Aunt Liu after talking for a long time, Shen Fengjiao stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Aunt Liu's eyes.

Only then did Aunt Liu come to her senses. She took Shen Fengjiao's hand and said, "Jiaojiao is right. Instead of letting that idiot occupy the position of princess, it would be better for my Jiaojiao to take her place."

As she spoke, she reached out to lift Shen Fengjiao's hair from her forehead and pushed it behind her ears: "Jiaojiao is so beautiful, and she has both ability and political integrity. As long as you are willing, it will be a matter of time for you to win the prince's heart. Today, The thing is that you acted too hastily, you should have told me earlier and we could come up with ideas together."

"Mom, what do you mean?"

"My silly Jiaojiao, what kind of person has I never seen in a high position like Huo Weilou? If you take the initiative to come to the door like you did today, it will only make him feel boring, and even make him think you are It’s no different from the women donated by other officials, so you made the wrong move in the first step.”

"So what do I do?"

"Jiaojiao, have you ever seen an old man fishing?" After Aunt Liu asked, she didn't wait for Shen Fengjiao to answer, and said: "I grew up in the countryside when I was a child, and my favorite thing at that time was to go fishing. I watched an old man from our village fishing by the river at the head of the village. Every time the old man would put the bait and sit quietly for a day, but he often caught nothing at the end of the day, but the old man still continued fishing happily. Later. One day, I saw that the old man finally caught a fish, and there were many fish in the river that were attracted by his bait. I thought he would continue fishing, but the old man stopped fishing and went home. He didn't even catch a single fish that day. When he saw the fish eating the hook, he didn't move, so he just let the fish eat the bait and leave..."

"Why? Wasn't his hard work in vain?" Shen Fengjiao was completely attracted by Aunt Liu's story at this time.

"I thought so too, so I became even more curious later on. During that time, I followed the old man every day. I wanted to see when he could catch the fish. The result was that after he released the fish for three consecutive days, the old man caught fish on the third day. Four days later, the old man caught a big fish about half the length of a man from the river. It was presented directly to the capital as an auspicious gift, and the old man also received a royal reward. Only then did I know that the old man had done what he had done before. What is it for, Jiaojiao, can you understand?"

"He keeps letting small fish go in order to attract the big fish?"

"That's it," Aunt Liu nodded approvingly: "When the old man fished, he didn't take the initiative to find big fish, but let the big fish come to him. In the same way, the first step you have to do now is to let the big fish come to him. The prince is interested in you, let him take the initiative to get to know you, and then you show off some of your skills from time to time, just like an old man letting the little fish go, surprising people bit by bit, only Only in this way can the prince remember you deeply."

Shen Fengjiao slowly came back to her senses and felt that her act of sending him to her door today was extremely stupid.

She looks like Aunt Liu: "Mom, what should I do now?"

"What you have to do now is to admit your mistake and make both Huo Weilou and Shen Xinyue forgive you for your abrupt behavior today. But remember, you must not say that you went there today because of Huo Weilou. Now you just have to keep saying it You went to find Shen Xinyue, and as long as you accidentally disturbed Huo Weilou, they won't keep trying to harass you with empty talk."

"But now daddy wants me to think about my mistakes in the ancestral hall. How can I admit my mistake if I can't get out?" Shen Fengjiao said, looking at Aunt Liu expectantly with her eyes wide open. The implication was that she wanted Aunt Liu to go. Ask Shen Chusheng to plead for mercy and let her out.

How could Aunt Liu dare to do this? She could only touch Shen Fengjiao's head and comfort her: "Now that your father wants you to admit your mistake in the ancestral hall, then you should admit your mistake properly. Don't go out during this period, so that Huo Weilou can slow down." Slowly forget about what happened today, and wait until the day they come home to return to the palace before you go out to admit your mistake and leave a deep impression on Huo Weilou."

Shen Fengjiao thought for a while and felt that what Aunt Liu said was quite reasonable, so she nodded aggrievedly and agreed with what Aunt Liu said.

Aunt Liu couldn't bear to see her daughter locked up in this cold ancestral hall: "Jiaojiao will be fine. I will persuade your father to let you out as soon as possible. I will ask the servants to bring two more quilts later. I won’t let you suffer any more grievances.”

As for Shen Xinyue, after Shen Fengjiao was locked up, she had a very leisurely life for a few days. No one in the Shen family dared to offend her when they saw her current identity. Even Shen Chusheng could do nothing without showing up. Come, try not to meet her.

Her daily life consisted of chatting with Song Ruyu, and then returning to her yard to drink tea and enjoy flowers, or take Siqi out for a stroll, not to mention how comfortable she was.

When Huo Weilou said that he was going back to the capital, Shen Xinyue was still a little unfinished, but fortunately, there were strict specifications and regulations for the things she wanted to bring back, so she just had to leave it to the people below to handle it, and she was happy and free. .

On the day when Shen Xinyue and Huo Weilou were about to leave, the door of the Shen family opened wide, and relatives from the clan also came. Everyone came to see Shen Xinyue off. The day she came with her was so shabby. It forms a sharp contrast.

Shen Xinyue sneered in her heart, with a calm expression on her face. After finally getting rid of all these people, Shen Xinyue was about to get on the carriage when a shout came from behind her.
