The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 341 The tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn’t stop

Wang Fan trembled, then rolled over and crawled to his feet, holding the two pieces of paper, and burst into tears overwhelmed with grief.

The bitterness of two lifetimes ends on these two thin pieces of paper.

Fu Nanjun comforted softly: "It's okay, it's okay..."

Seeing that the old lady was about to faint, the old Duke waved his hand and said tiredly, "Everyone, go out. Let the two of us have a couple of days of peace and quiet."

Shi Yao looked at the lady with concern: "Grandma..."

The lady smiled feebly: "Don't worry, I'm fine. Yaoyao, you can go back and embroider your dowry."

After hearing this, Shi Yao left with peace of mind.

Everyone dispersed one by one.

For a while, Ganlu Hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The maids dared not make any noise when they walked.

After a while, the lady sighed deeply: "Old man, this family will break up sooner or later. Wait until Yao gets married and then we can divide the family."

Even though she was slow-witted, she could sense that there was an undercurrent surging in the Shi family and that there was a dark hand manipulating the situation behind the scenes.

All the grandchildren have become useless.

The Shi family is on the verge of collapse.

Perhaps by dividing the family and dispersing that unknown force, the Shi family's foundation can be preserved, and a few of the male members of the Shi family can also be saved.

The old Duke felt powerless all over, and he said with all his strength: "We have to divide the family, but I'm afraid..."

I’m afraid that I won’t have enough time to divide the family and the Shi family will have collapsed.

Both elders suspected Shi Yao, but Shi Yao looked too harmless and too weak, and there was no one around her who could plan all this.

It seems that everything is a coincidence, or rather, it is God's will.

If there were no rebirth, the daughters-in-law would still be enduring and living what the men of the Shi family consider to be a "good life."

The hidden enemy is the most terrifying.

If it is God's will, it would be even more terrifying.

He admitted that the Shi family was not without faults, but it was definitely not the case that they brought harm to the country and the people. Even if he had ambitions, he had never thought of overthrowing the government or overthrowing the world. Why would God want his Shi family to be destroyed?

"I underestimated the women in the harem." The old Duke finally smiled bitterly, "It's just that my daughter-in-law divorced and my granddaughter got married, but the Shi family has fallen to this point today."

The lady said nothing.

She had nothing to say.

Before Shi Mingzhen and Shi Mingying divorced, they didn't tell her. By the time she found out, the two granddaughters-in-law had already run away.

Today Wang Fan came to ask her to preside over the divorce, so it would be better for her to continue to treat her as a deaf-mute.

I can only blame myself for being so long-lived that I have to go through all these terrible things. It would be better if I died early and lived a peaceful life.

"Old man, tell me, did Mingmo's wife do this on purpose?"

"Eighty percent of it is." The old Duke wanted his wife to spend her old age in peace, but the wind would not stop even if the tree wanted to be quiet. Hiding it was not a solution. "Mingying suspected earlier that his wife had memories of a second life. At that time, they all said the same thing. I didn't want to force a group of women to tell the truth, so I kept it to myself.

Yunfan also remembered his past life, and I knew that the grandchildren's wives must have hidden it from us, and one of them must have remembered Yunfan's past life.

But, Yunfan, you know, this guy is ruthless and tight-lipped. He only mentioned Mingkui's family and never said a word about his aunts and uncles. I asked him several times but didn't get anything out of him."

The lady had experienced many ups and downs in her life, and she vaguely guessed something, and instantly felt cold from head to toe: "Yes, I'm afraid that Mingmo's wife remembered her second life.

In the first life, our family was beheaded and went to hell early. Mingmo’s wife was wronged, but Mingmo did not wrong her.

In the second life, he lived so long, for dozens of years, how could he hide the fact that Mingmo couldn't have children? Mingmo's wife must have suffered even greater injustice, or even carried a stigma for the rest of her life. Who could bear it?"

The old Duke sighed and said, “So, you see, everyone wants to know the future, take shortcuts, and seek wealth and glory, but when they really know the future, some will go crazy, some will go insane, and things that clearly didn’t happen, but they can’t untie the knot in their previous life, so they take revenge on those who know nothing in this life.

Don't let them take revenge, they will die of grievance. Let them take revenge, we who have no memory are so innocent. People should be more open-minded. If they don't, they will never live well in their next lives."

These granddaughters-in-law are getting divorced with great fanfare, but will their lives be better if they return to their parents’ homes?

The old Duke did not think highly of them.

The lady said softly, "Old man, because of your words, our Shi family was exterminated twice, and I also have the memory of my descendants being imprisoned and beheaded in my previous life...

In fact, I hate you too. But I also know clearly that I am one of the executioners who helped the tiger to commit the crime. "

How easy is it to be more open-minded?

Upon hearing this, the old Duke's hands trembled slightly. He covered his face for a long time and said in a choked voice: "I am sorry for you."

The lady was stunned and said, "It's too late to say sorry now. Look, can we still control the situation? The boss has been silent these days. What is he doing behind the scenes?"

The old Duke calmed down and shook his head, “I heard that he is having a hard time in the court, and Lord Ge is holding on to him.

The second son’s wife has met with the old lady of the Lin family in private. The Lin family has no military power and no ambition, so they are unwilling to work with us.

Lord Lin has been timid all his life. He probably saw that the emperor wanted to suppress our Shi family, so he was frightened. After meeting the second son's wife once, he refused to see her again. Zhuzhu's future life will be difficult.

I advise the eldest brother to lie low. News has come out from the palace that the emperor is not in good health and it has been concealed from the outside world. You have prophesied in dreams that in a few years, the emperor will... By then, when the new emperor comes to the throne, it will take a lot of time to put the court in order. At that time, the Shi family will also have a chance to rise again.

The eldest brother agreed with me verbally, but I saw that he was quite unwilling to accept it. It was because the second brother was stable that the eldest brother could not do anything without the second brother's support.

I am an old man without any power, so I cannot control him. I have said what I should say and beaten him when he should be beaten. Let them do whatever they want."

The more children and grandchildren you have, the more worries you have.

If Shi Mingzhu could be compared to a rope, the granddaughters-in-law had made such a fuss that they had cut the rope into pieces.

Since Shi Mingzhu fell, the Shi family has been divided into several forces. The eldest branch, the second branch, and the third branch, which has always been inconspicuous, has also become restless and formed its own branch.

The old Duke's original decision was correct, but over the past decade or so, the power that had been twisted into this rope had gone astray, the Shi family's ambitions had expanded, and ultimately the two generations were headed for destruction.

And in this life, there are signs of destruction.

The incident between Wang Fan and Shi Mingmo broke out too suddenly, which made the old Duke and the Lady Dowager alert. They were worried that there would be unforeseen disasters in the future and were full of pessimism about the future of the Shi family.

The lady wiped her tears and said, "Tell the second son's wife to send Yunxiao and Yunxing to the Tao family. If they want to change their surnames, then they can do so."

The old Duke said without hesitation: "Okay."

After the two of them finished talking about this, the old Duke sent the lady to lie down and rest, asked a doctor to check her pulse, and finally sent someone to call Shi Yunfan to Hanxu Hall.

The old Duke questioned him for an hour but didn't get a single word of truth out of him. He was so angry for nothing and told Shi Yunfan to "Get lost!"

Shi Yunfan didn't bother to be polite with him. He admired the old Duke's pain and helplessness with a playful smile, then left quickly.
