AWB Chapter 343 The hatred of seizing his wife
Chapter 343 The hatred of seizing his wife
Tang Zhan's brows twitched, and the light in his eyes flickered.
The fifth prince Zhou Xu must be someone who has practiced martial arts for many years!
And his fiefdom is near the border...
Shi Yao's seemingly ordinary words actually contain a lot of information.
"Has the Fifth Prince returned to his fiefdom? I haven't heard from him recently."
Shi Yao helped him choose his position: "It is said that he has returned. He was out of favor. He was impeached by all the officials and was severely punished by the emperor. He almost lost his fiefdom. Later, he left the capital quietly and no one paid attention to him.
I think this fifth prince is not very smart. He obviously has a whole fiefdom, and even if he is poor, he can afford to buy a few horses, right? He is too pretentious, and he even goes to provoke the fourth prince who is the most favored by the emperor.
If a person pretends, he must be hiding something. At this moment, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince are both eyeing him. If he makes a mistake, his fiefdom may be taken back by the court, and he will become a prince without a family... Ahem, I'm just talking nonsense, Lord Xiao Tang, don't take it to heart.
In my heart, I think of you as my friend, and I was just being blunt at the time, so please don’t take it to heart.”
Tang Zhan smiled and said, "Even if the deal doesn't work out, we still have friendship. We can't be husband and wife, but we can still be friends. I really like Second Sister's generous nature."
Shi Yao spat, "Bah! Who wants to do business with you! Get out now. I won't send you off any further. I hope to see you again in the future. If we have a chance to meet again next time, Master Xie and I will treat you to a drink!"
After saying this, Shi Yao waved her handkerchief, turned around and went back to Ganlu Hall with brisk steps.
Tang Zhan was upset. Why was he mentioning Mr. Xie for no reason?
He looked at Shi Yao's slender back and gritted his teeth.
The Fifth Prince and Shi Mingzhu destroyed his marriage, and he will remember this grudge!
Shi Mingzhu was a woman, and the Fourth Prince's concubine, so he could not touch her. But no matter what the Fifth Prince was doing secretly, he would definitely investigate it thoroughly when he returned to the border.
The hatred for taking away my wife is irreconcilable!
Shi Yao had only walked about twenty steps when she ran into the maid of Second Madam Shen, who was leading a group of crying servants towards the second gate.
Shi Yao stopped and glanced at the maids. Among them, a few looked familiar. She then recognized that they were the concubines of her sixth brother Shi Mingmo.
"Sister Linglan, where are we going?"
Linglan was a soldier at the frontier. She was dressed neatly, unlike the other maids who were gorgeous and delicate. She stood straight, saluted to Shi Yao, and replied with a smile:
"Sixth Madam has left the mansion, and Sixth Master has not lived in the mansion recently. Without a master to supervise them, some of these maids are not very obedient. Second Madam has decided to send them out to marry."
When Wang Fan was looking for a maid to share his room with, he was looking for some restless ones.
If he was dragged out to be married off so hastily, he would either be paired off with a servant or a slave on the farm.
Shi Yao asked again: "Where is the Second Madam? I haven't seen Second Aunt for several days."
"The Second Madam went to Hanxu Hall and is discussing something with the old master."
The plan was to keep Shi Mingchen in the capital, and send Shi Mingmo to the border in the future when he entered the capital's camp, so that he could set off together with Tang Zhan.
However, this matter requires the approval of the Emperor.
As hostages of the border guards, the Shi family members could not leave the capital at will. At most, they could only stroll around the capital.
If the Tang family takes a step further and encounters war, they will also have to send their families back to Beijing as hostages.
Shi Yao chatted with Linglan for a few more words and then went back to Ganlu Hall.
After serving the Madam, Muxiang returned to Guanju Courtyard and gossiped quietly: "The maid of the Sixth Master seduced the Second Master, the Third Master, the Fourth Master, the Fifth Master, the Seventh Master, and even the Duke.
The Third Master was so angry that he almost killed someone, the Fourth Master almost threw someone into a well, the Second Wife was furious, and the Third Wife was so embarrassed that she let the Second Wife deal with them.
Shi Yao was speechless.
He is indeed a restless person.
As soon as the news came out that Shi Mingmo was unable to have children, they swarmed to find a husband, and all the male masters who were still able to survive in the Duke's Mansion were not left out.
Oh, the only one missing was her third master.
The third master is so frustrated. Even an old man like the Duke of Zhenguo is criticized by some people, but no one looks up to him.
A few days later, the emperor's order came down, and Shi Mingmo was able to rush to the border with Tang Zhan.
When leaving Beijing, Shi Mingmo rode in a horse-drawn carriage, fearing that someone would recognize his face and point fingers at him.
He finally understood what it felt like to be pointed at and embarrassed in front of others.
It was two days after leaving Beijing that he finally abandoned his carriage and rode on horseback to speed up his journey.
Along the way, Tang Zhan took good care of him, but Shi Mingmo had no enthusiasm to do anything. From time to time, he suspected that Tang Zhan looked at him strangely, and suspected that the guards accompanying him were secretly laughing at him.
Under this torture, Shi Mingmo had a dream.
He dreamed that he left the capital and headed for the border with a similar mood.
Angry, jealous, and wanting to destroy the world and let everyone die with him.
What kind of mood is that?
He experienced and felt it carefully, and vaguely felt like he was cuckolded.
Shi Mingmo woke up in the middle of the night, his face pale. The flickering firelight reflected in his eyes, dim and dark.
He thought bitterly that Wang Fan was crazy about having a baby, and she would probably be eager to find another husband once she returned to her parents' home.
He swallowed, suppressing the nausea.
Another day, when they were passing by a city, they happened to come across a funeral procession.
The white flags fluttered in the wind and paper money fell like snowflakes.
Shi Mingmo was in a daze, as if the light and shadow were out of place. He leaned against the coffin and cried bitterly. A little boy whose face could not be seen was tugging at the corner of his clothes with fear but dependence.
The scene changed, and the little boy was sitting in front of him, and he was riding a horse away from the capital.
He had a blank expression on his face and didn't speak a word the whole way.
The little boy also had a blank expression on his face and didn't speak a word along the way.
When passing by the city, he raised his whip, pointed at the city gate and said to the little boy, "That's Liyue City."
The little boy still didn't speak.
The father and son did not stop. They took a look at the city and continued running forward.
The horses kept running, running, getting farther and farther away from the capital...
"Brother Mingmo!" Tang Zhan exclaimed, hurriedly tightened the reins, jumped off the horse, and helped Shi Mingmo who had fallen off the horse.
Shi Mingmo's face was as pale as gold paper. He leaned on Tang Zhan's body half-dead, staring at the coffin, and murmured: "She is dead, I saw it, she is dead..."
They have a son.
But after she died, that son never spoke to him again.
Who is that son?
Is it Shi Yunlang?
He tried to open his eyes wide, but he could not see the little boy's face clearly, nor could he see the blurry images.
All I remember is that he was filled with desolation and had lost interest in everything. He lived like a walking corpse.
At this moment, he didn't know whether to feel sad for himself in this life, or for Wang Fan in his previous life that he didn't know about.
He no longer has a wife.
No son either.
Tang Zhan didn't care whether he was sad or not. He was afraid that something might happen to Shi Mingmo and that the Shi family would be angry with him, so he hurriedly carried the injured Shi Mingmo to Liyue City to find a doctor for treatment.
