The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 122 It’s time for them to be filial to Nanny!

Shen Wen went to Shen Shuchan's room to find food, and just caught up with Shen Shuchan picking up her first bite of food. She sat down and ate carelessly. Shen Shuchan asked, "I heard that you slept with your father last night. Are you okay? Did your father do anything to you?"

Shen Wen took two bites of rice and asked, "What do you think?"

Shen Shuchan understood and sighed, "Oh! I didn't think it through. I only thought that I was a girl and shouldn't stay with my father for too long, but I forgot to find a safe place for you. I didn't expect that after so many years, my father still had the same strange illness as before and liked to beat people in his dreams, especially after drinking. His condition is even worse."

Shen Wen glanced at her and continued to eat.

Shen Shuchan added: "However, you are lucky. No matter how drunk he is, he will show mercy to you when he is crazy, but I..."

She lowered her head and wiped away her tears.

I guess he was recalling the miserable experience he had at that time, and big sad tears were falling.

The meal was eaten in this depressing atmosphere.

After the meal, Shen Shuchan asked Hong Pu to make tea and bring it up.

Shen Wen took a sip and said, "It's almost time. Nanny Zhou is coming. Tell me, how likely is it that the old man sent her to find me?"

Shen Shuchan said, "It's not important whether he sees you or not. What's important is whether the old man has calmed down. You are a child he taught himself, but in the end you lost your dignity and became a person who is even more shameful than a eunuch. You belong to the Ji family, which the old man despises the most. You really pissed him off this time. If it was a descendant he didn't like, he would have had someone beat you to death immediately."

Shen Wen didn't care what she said. She picked her nails slowly and methodically, wiping her nails again and again, cherishing and carefully treating them as if they were treasures.

Seeing that he was not paying attention, Shen Shuchan could not help but angrily asked, "Did you understand what I said?"

Shen Wen then turned around and looked at Shen Shuchan and said, "Don't you think that old woman Zhou Ma is jumping around too much? Does her family know that she is so annoying? She always says that she has suffered all her life for her family. I wonder if her son and daughter-in-law know how to be grateful."

Shen Shuchan twisted the handkerchief in her hand angrily and said, "You always worry about useless things, that old woman! Her son and his wife are very smart, flattering and fawning on all the masters in this mansion, and they are as good as the second housekeeper who is good at dealing with people, and their methods are very shady."

As soon as the words fell, a voice came from outside: "Who are you talking about, Seventh Aunt? In terms of cruelty, no one can escape Seventh Aunt? Seventh Aunt is much smarter than them."

Shen Shuchan's big eyes rolled around, and then she turned around to look at Nanny Zhou who had come in.

Shen Shuchan didn't stand up either. She used a handkerchief to smudge the makeup on her face and said to Madam Zhou, "Madam Zhou, you are very diligent in your steps. The older you get, the more imposing you become. You dared to question me in the face as soon as you entered the door. Could it be that you gave birth to one of the masters of the Shen family? Are you standing there waiting for me, the concubine of the palace, to pay you respect?"

Nanny Zhou was very sensible and immediately bent down and bowed to Shen Shuchan.

She raised her head and said, "You know that you are someone's concubine. You shouldn't go back to your parents' home to spend the night. Even if you are favored by your husband, you shouldn't go beyond the rules and make the prince a target of criticism. This is against the female precepts. If you report it to the clan temple, you will be in trouble. You should pack up and leave before you are imprisoned."

Shen Shuchan hated this old man very much, but what she said was right. In order to support Shen Wen, she got the prince's permission to stay in the Shen Mansion for one night. I thought I would meet the old marquis yesterday to suppress the storm of Shen Haofeng's injury, but who knew that the old marquis was in seclusion. The prince said that I could only stay for one night, so I had to go back now. I must not disobey the prince's order, otherwise...

Shen Shuchan was going to leave, but she couldn't let this old woman have an easy time.

Shen Shuchan changed her stern expression and suddenly said kindly, "Yes! I am leaving now, but I remembered something. Yesterday I went to see my grandmother first. When she saw that I only brought Hongpu with me, she said that she would send me a few more servants. I didn't dare to refuse. Now I think about it and I think you are suitable. You also know that my wet nurse left the house early, and you took care of me and my seventeenth brother in the following years. Now that I am married, it is suitable for you to go with me to the palace to enjoy the good life. It is settled. I will go to ask my grandmother now."

After saying that, she turned around and went out to the old lady's yard.

Nanny Zhou was stunned by her fierce and swift action. She realized it belatedly and turned back to chase Shen Shuchan, calling her anxiously while chasing her.

Unexpectedly, she staggered and could not catch up with the young girl. She did not walk far before Shen Wen stopped her from behind. Shen Wen pulled her arm and said, "Mammy! Mammy, didn't you come to find me? Mammy, tell me why you came to find me. I think it was grandfather who asked you to look for me. Don't worry about my seventh sister. Let's go to grandfather's yard first."

After being stopped like this, Nanny Zhou watched Shen Shuchan walk away.

Nanny Zhou came back to her senses and looked at Shen Wen. She pulled a long face and said, "You have forgotten what good things you have done. You still dare to show your head to your grandfather? I hope the Marquis will peel off your skin! Brother! Now that you have done such a disaster, you must do everything you can to remedy it. There is something you don't know yet, right? Last night, the palace sent a letter saying that your eldest sister in the palace suddenly contracted an acute illness. The imperial physician was summoned and worked for most of the night before she was treated in time. The eldest lady was worried all night. This morning, she hurriedly asked the immortal Taoist priest Qiu Si, who was visiting the mansion, to tell her fortune. He said it was related to you. I said before that your birth date was too evil and unlucky for everyone in the mansion. Fortunately, you are a kind-hearted person, so you can live. Alas! Let's not talk about it. You should come with me to the eldest lady's place quickly. Listen to the Taoist priest's words and ask him to drive away the bad luck for you. You kowtow more to reduce some of your sins, so that you can resolve your eldest sister's unprovoked disaster."

When Shen Wen heard her say this, he said, "Really? Is it my fault again this time? But I heard that the eldest sister has been ill in the palace, and the imperial physician goes to her palace every day to treat her."

Madam Zhou asked, "How do you know? Where did you hear it from? Why did my brother develop a habit of lying after returning this time?"

Shen Wen said, "I heard from the people in the Ji Mansion that the second son of the Ji family goes to the palace every day. The emperor is very close to him and often chats with the second son about what happens in the harem. He has mentioned our eldest sister's affairs more than once or twice."

Nanny Zhou was stunned by what she said. She looked at Shen Wen with half belief and half doubt.

Shen Wen smiled and said, "Well, since the Taoist priest said something different, I will go with Madam to have a look. We must make sure that nothing happens to our eldest sister. She is the only extremely noble person in our mansion."

Madam Zhou's heart fluttered violently for a few times, as if it had been thrown into the air and then fell. Then she said with a pale face, "That's true. I'll go with you to take a look."

Shen Wen put his hands behind his back, walked in front of Madam Zhou, and hurried to the eldest lady's place leisurely. Madam Zhou was left wondering whether this silly boy had changed.

The courtyard of the fifth room was very remote, and it was a long way from the first lady's place. On the way, Shen Wen started chatting with Madam Zhou. Shen Wen said, "Madam, do you remember that this kind of thing often happened to me when I was a child? Madam always said that it was because of my bad fortune, and Madam personally took me to kowtow and atone for my sins. At that time, I always remembered Madam's kindness. If it weren't for Madam's protection, they would definitely not let me live, right, Madam?"

Madam Zhou smiled immediately, took Shen Wen's hand and said, "It turns out that my brother still remembers my kindness in the past. It's worth it that I used my milk to feed you so much."

Shen Wen said: "When my third brother went to the border, no one in the family knew about it. Later, he came back with a letter from the border and we found out. The family made a fuss. The nanny said that it was because of my unlucky etiquette that my third brother left, so she asked me to kneel in front of the ancestors in the ancestral hall. I was hungry for three days and four nights, and I almost died without a drop of water. Before my eldest sister entered the palace, the nanny took me to see her off. Later, I heard that my eldest sister might not be selected. The nanny said that because I was the only one present when she saw her off, I probably brought evil spirits and bumped into my eldest sister's fortune. So I knelt in the temple and copied Buddhist scriptures for fifteen days, eating only one meal, drinking only one glass of water, and sleeping for only one hour a day. And when my eighth sister had her birthday, it was said that she was the reincarnation of the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens, but she was also defeated by me, because of me, so I have to kowtow to my eighth sister's yard every day. And the eldest lady, the old lady, the fifth sister..."

He kept talking like this, and Nanny Zhou got annoyed and poked him over and shouted, "Brother Wen! Are you going to leave or not? You've been away for a few years, why are you nagging like this? You never complained like this before."

Only then did Shen Wen turn around and look at Nanny Zhou with a smile.

Shen Wen patted Nanny Zhou's hand obediently, looked up at her and said, "Nanny, don't move. There's dirt on your face. I'll help you wipe it off." Then he reached out and stroked Nanny Zhou's face a few times, and at the same time played with the hair behind her ears.

Only then did Nanny Zhou believe in her heart that Shen Wen was still the same stupid fool who allowed herself to be manipulated by her.

Shen Wen was walking in front and suddenly asked, "Your son's name is Wu Jiaxing, right? Who is he following now? Is he living a happy life?"

When Madam Zhou heard her asking about her son, a hint of pride immediately appeared on her face and she said, "He! He is now following the eldest master's son Shen Chenfeng. He has a lot of things to do and seems to be highly respected."

Shen Wen said: "Then you can enjoy your life, Madam. You have served others all your life, so let them serve you too."

Madam Zhou smiled and nodded, "That's true..."

I had only said half a sentence when someone shouted from a distance, "Mom!"

Shen Wen and Nanny Zhou looked and saw that it was naturally Nanny Zhou's son Wu Jiaxing.
