Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 347
The weather was a bit gloomy that day, few people left the city, and there were only three or five pilgrims in the nunnery.Â
Mrs. Wang knelt in front of the futon and prayed for the family.Â
When she opened her eyes again, she found a person kneeling on the futon beside her.Â
“I was kidnapped at a young age and sold. I had a rough life. I don’t dare to look for blessings for myself, I just ask Buddha to bless my parents, so that they will not suffer from the wind and the sun on the pier, bless my son so that he grows up safely…” The young woman’s face was so pious that even when Mrs Wang looked at her for a while, she still didn’t notice that she was doing that.
Mrs. Wang looked at her because her voice was familiar, and when she recalled carefully, she remembered that it was Mrs. Qin’s daughter-in-law whom she met in the theater that day.Â
Her voice was gentle and soft, and the emphasis in Mandarin was different from that of ordinary people. It was even worse than her own daughter-in-law.Â
So Mrs. Wang had a deep impression about her.Â
When Mrs. Chen opened her eyes and saw her, she said apologetically, “Was my voice too loud and disturbed Madam?”Â
Mrs. Wang shook her head and said no, and then she didn’t know what to say, so she couldn’t help but sigh and say, “You are good. Sigh…”Â
Mrs. Wang was afraid that if she talked to her, Mrs. Qin would punish her. So she didn’t say anything more and left immediately.Â
In the wing room, Shen Hanchun was asking a little nun, “Are you sure the two of them are praying together?”Â
The little nun nodded and asked, “But why did Sister Shen ask me to lead the two ladies to one place? Do you want them to be friends”Â
This little nun was eleven or twelve years old, one of the abandoned babies adopted by the nunnery owner in troubled times.Â
She grew up in this nunnery since she was a child. Although she was not particularly young, she had a clear mind and didn’t understand the dangers of the world at all, so Shen Hanchun made her run errands for her just by coaxing her.Â
A sneer appeared on Shen Hanchun’s lips. Of course not, she wanted to make the two families enemies.Â
Mrs. Chen was not a powerful person, and even the entire Duke Lu’s mansion would not have a future.Â
But Feng Yu, the heir of Duke Lu’s mansion, was the most powerful.Â
Before Emperor Li ascended the throne, although Emperor Zhengyuan loved his son, his road to the throne was not smooth.Â
The biggest opponent was Lu Xu, the prince born to Councubine Feng.Â
It was not that Lu Xu was amazing and talented, but that he had a very powerful cousin, Feng Yu.
Feng Yu was an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs, and with his assistance, Lu Xu could compete with Prince Li in court.Â
Feng Yu’s defeat in the end was not because he was inferior to others, but because Prince Li got his handle (weakness) – Feng Yu killed his relative.
It was the old lady of Duke Lu’s mansion, his own grandmother.
After he became the heir, he had people give Mrs. Qin a chronic poison, which caused her to suffer from stroke-like symptoms in her later years. After a few years of lingering, she died.Â
That fact was appalling and unbelievable. Why did he kill his own grandmother?Â
Only later did she find out that it was because his mother died in his teens in a fight with Mrs. Qin.Â
Mrs. Qin also followed the practice of the ancients, covering her face with hair and stuffing her mouth with chaff, preventing his mother from going to Huangquan Road (Underworld) to complain.Â
He was avenging his mother.Â
Although it was excusable, that kind of thing was indeed unacceptable. Emperor Zhengyuan sentenced him to be executed. Lu Xu also had no hope of winning the succession because of such a bad family.Â
On the day he was about to be beheaded, Lu Xu, Councubine Feng and others didn’t go to see him, only Prince Li went to see him.Â
She heard that the two of them enjoyed a drink with each other and cherished each other at the execution ground.Â
At that time, the case involved poisoning, so Emperor Zhengyuan sent all the people who knew medical skills in the palace to conduct a thorough investigation, and Shen Hanchun was also among them, so she knew a lot about the whole case.Â
Despite knowing that in a few years the two would become sworn enemies, Shen Hanchun couldn’t wait, she was going to drag Duke Ying’s mansion into the water.Â
After leaving the little nun and maidservant, Shen Hanchun went out of Banyue Nunnery on the grounds of moving her sick body, and contacted some people of the three regions.Â
After that day, everyone in the capital would know of Mrs. Chen’s origin – an orphan who was kidnapped by kidnappers, who used to make a living by juggling skills in the juggling team.
Many people know that Mrs. Chen used to be a cook in the military camp. But what she was before she became a cook, was naturally known only by a person who was really close to Mrs. Chen, or, like Mrs. Wang, who heard it from her while she was praying for blessings.Â
If she let people know the background of the dignified lady of the country, she would soon become a joke in the whole capital.Â
The old lady of Duke Lu’s mansion was most concerned about her face. As soon as the rumors come out, she would be furious and scold Mrs. Chen more.Â
Feng Yu attached great importance to his mother and would definitely not forget the rumor that harmed his mother.Â
At that time, would he also regard Duke Ying’s family as an enemy?Â
Shen Hanchun couldn’t wait to see.Â
