Chapter 379 Returning to the General's Mansion
Chapter 379 Returning to the General's Mansion
The Beixiu Banquet didn't say much and quickly arranged a carriage to take Shen Ruzhou back to the General's Mansion.
After getting on the carriage, Shen Ruzhou's tears couldn't stop falling. In front of others, she could pretend to be strong and face the cynicism, but when she was alone, she couldn't bear the pain.Although she had a new life and finally reconciled after going through all kinds of hardships, she still had to face a lot of hardships in the future, and fate never seemed to favor her.
Tears ran down his face, falling like broken beads, and all the grievances came to his heart.
At this time, the carriage curtain suddenly opened, and Shen Ruzhou never expected that Beixiu's banquet would get on the carriage together.
She didn't want him to see her tears streaming down her cheeks, so she quickly turned her head away.
Bei Xiuyan handed over a handkerchief with his slender fingers and said warmly: "You don't have to be afraid, I will accompany you back to the General's Mansion."
As soon as Shen Ruzhou took the handkerchief and wiped his tears, he was so shocked by the words behind Beixiu Banquet that he froze.
Does he want to accompany him back to the general's mansion?
Now she is the person that everyone in the capital is paying attention to, and she is on the cusp of the storm. If someone sees Beixiu Yan accompanying her back, what might be said?
There were already all kinds of rumors flying around outside, and she didn't want to add to people's chatter after dinner.What's more, Beixiu Yan has not yet gotten married, so being with a concubine like her with a "bad reputation" will hinder her reputation.
He has already helped her a lot and can no longer be dragged down by her.
Shen Ruzhou made up her mind. She held back her tears, suppressed the sobs in her throat, and said in as calm a voice as possible: "Your Majesty, don't bother me. I'll just go back by myself."
Bei Xiuyan did not look at her, his expression calm, "This is part of our cooperation. You are responsible for curing my illness, and I also have to help you get through all the difficulties before and after separation."
Shen Ruzhou politely refused again, "My lord, you have helped me many times, but I really don't need it this time."
"It's been done many times anyway, and I don't care if it's one more time." Bei Xiuyan's voice was as calm as water, but it had a calming power.
For the first time in her life, Shen Ruzhou felt that it would be great if she had met Beixiu Yan at the beginning, and she would not have to suffer so much pain. Unfortunately, she met Xiao Chenyan, and every step was wrong.
Fortunately, we finally reconciled.
She has gotten rid of the tragic fate of her previous life and started a new life. Compared with all the things in the past, these are nothing now.
Shen Ruzhou calmed down and said solemnly and resolutely: "Prince Regent, I appreciate your kindness, but this is a family matter of the Shen family. Ruzhou will explain to his father that even if he punishes me, I deserve it. Prince Regent Please come back."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Ruzhou saw Bei Xiuyan's gaze coming towards him with a cold aura.
She quickly looked away.
There was a stalemate for a while, but no reply was heard from Beixiu Yan. Shen Ruzhou was about to speak again when he heard an angry shout.
"Stop!" Immediately afterwards, Bei Xiuyan jumped out of the carriage, got on his horse and walked away.
Did he really leave like that?Bei Xiuyan followed his own advice and chose not to go back to Shen's Mansion with him. He should have been happy, but Shen Ruzhou felt his heart suddenly empty.
At this time, she actually still longed for someone to accompany her and comfort herself, but she knew very well that this person could not be Beixiu Yan.
The carriage arrived at the General's Mansion quickly. Before getting off the carriage, Shen Ruzhou saw his brother, Shen Chumu, sending the eunuch delivering the order out of the gate of Shen's Mansion with a smile on his face.
The eunuch stood in front of the house and admonished arrogantly: "Little General Shen, the emperor is really angry this time. How can the royal face be offended? I advise the general to discipline his daughter well. If he causes trouble again, let the Shen family do it again." Even great achievements cannot be protected."
"Yes, yes, yes." Shen Chumu nodded in agreement, "We will strictly discipline him and we will not cause any more trouble to the royal family."
After that, he took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into it, "A small token of sincerity. Please go back and help me say a few nice words in front of the emperor."
The eunuch took the silver ingot and weighed it in his hand. He put it in his arms with satisfaction and said with a smile on his face: "It's easy to talk about."
After finally seeing off the eunuch, Shen Chumu didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief. He turned around and saw Shen Ruzhou getting off the carriage and walking over. His heart suddenly rose to his throat, "My little ancestor, why are you back at this time?"
"Brother, how is the situation at home?" Shen Ruzhou quickly walked forward and grabbed Shen Chumu, who looked anxious.
"It's not that good." Shen Chumu said angrily, "The emperor sent someone to deliver the letter of He Li, and also issued an edict to reprimand. After hearing this, my grandmother almost fainted, and Ru Lan helped her back to her room to rest. My father was also very angry and said that he would never have a daughter like you in the family."
"Father, don't you want me anymore?" Shen Ruzhou felt aggrieved. Although reconciliation would bring shame to the family, if she did not reconcile, she would not be able to escape the tragic death of herself and her family in her previous life, and there was nothing she could do about it.
Seeing her sadness, Shen Chumu couldn't bear it in her heart, so she tried to persuade her: "You stay outside for a few days, and then come back when my father's anger subsides."
"No, it was me who was unfilial and brought trouble to the family. My father wanted to beat me or punish me." In the previous life, she angered her father when she went to the Supreme Emperor privately to ask for a marriage. In the end, she ran away and never returned to the General's Mansion. When the news came that her father had died in battle, she regretted it beyond words.So this time she never thought about escaping.
Shen Ruzhou entered the house with firm steps. Seeing that Shen Chumu could not be persuaded, she had no choice but to follow him in.
Arriving at the main hall, Shen Mu was sitting in the main seat, his face as black as ink.
After Shen Ruzhou came in, he knelt down directly in front of him, kowtowed heavily, and then said: "Father, it's all my daughter's fault. You can beat her or punish her."
Shen Mu's brows knitted together, his eyes filled with anger, "What on earth are you going to do? Isn't marriage a child's play? It was you who wanted to marry King Wu Cheng after the quarrel. Now it's you who want to make peace with the Shen family. You have lost all face."
Shen Mu was furious. After speaking, he grabbed the tea cup on the table and threw it away.
