Eldest sister is not easy to do

Lin Ruhai got what the two mothers-in-law said, and once he added the foreword and the afterword, he knew that this matter was indeed true.Immediately went to the third room to question the crime.Shu Yu's seniority is small, and he shouldn't be involved in the rectification of the elders, so he stayed to take care of Mrs. Lin.Although the old lady has passed seventy years, she is by no means confused at the moment.Knowing that Lin Ruhai and Lin Shuyu had interrogated the truth, Nanny Shen was arrested, and Granny Wu escorted her to the county government.The two were tortured to death in prison, so they had to tell how they burned ginger wine and killed Lin Sun.Only the third wife, Shen Qian, the two of them still didn't mention it, and the master didn't dare to record it.

After the county magistrate finished his judgment, he paid his life in accordance with the law and sent the two to the execution ground to beheaded to death.He also applied to the imperial court to send Nanny Shen's family for three thousand miles and never return to his hometown.This is a later story, not to mention.

Just saying that the old lady sent away the two wretches who committed crimes, her heart ached in panic.Shu Yu and Dai Yu took turns guarding the grandmother.The old lady beat her chest for a while and said, "Your grandfather was against the third child's marriage. Unfortunately, I didn't listen to him at that time!" After a while, she wiped her tears and said, "The third child's daughter-in-law is also suffering—at the beginning I disliked her and couldn't keep her." Grandson, I let the third child beg for that vixen outside. In the end, she was a good young woman who stayed alone in the vacant room. For so many years, she said she was serving me, but I also knew that she was just perfunctory. A woman's life , without a husband to rely on. What is too much! But she always wants to fight for this, why should she fight..."

Shu Yu asked cautiously: "Grandmother, can you tell me what happened to Third Aunt when she was young?"

The old lady raised her head to look at Shu Yu, and sighed, "She's sorry for your mother, why you still call her third aunt."

Shu Yu said solemnly: "The seniority of seniority and inferiority cannot be messed up." But he thought in his heart: Maybe Shen Qian will be a stranger in the Lin family tomorrow.Maybe I will never see her again in this life.

The old lady took her granddaughter's hand, closed her eyes and talked about the past.

If you want to talk about Shen Qian, you have to start with Lin Ruhan, the eldest son of the Lin family.

The Lin family has been noble for generations, and there are many seeds of scholars.When Lin Ruhan was young, he was considered one of the best talents in Huaiyang.When he was a weak crown, his articles were well-known all over the world. Later, he was alone with Dan Chi, full of splendid articles, which made the emperor happy, and granted him a Jinshi background.But Lin Sanye, who is proud of his spring breeze, is a family of early marriages.

The marriage between Shen Qian and Lin Sanye was decided as follows:

A certain month and a certain day of the year.The old lady heard that her little sister was pregnant, so she went home to visit her.The two women were sisters of the first blood, and they had the best relationship since they were young.This time in Guining, the two sisters made a bet: If this child gave birth to a girl, they would marry Lin Ruhan, the third son of the Lin family who was just five years old at the time.At the beginning, the old man of the Shen family was not very happy: After all, the Shen family is a scholarly family with noble and noble generations, so it is reasonable for a daughter-in-law to match a dilapidated noble family.But Shen Qian's mother said that this baby is a top one, and she will definitely give birth to a boy in the future.So this marriage contract is out of the question.

Who knew that she was pregnant in July, and a girl was born.

So the poor little classmate Lin Ruhan had a fiancée who was still in her infancy.

Shen Qian is the youngest girl in the direct line of the Shen family.It was brought up in the arms of the old man, and he was adored by thousands of people since childhood.Childhood can be described as carefree.When he was seven or eight years old, Mr. Shen remembered the original agreement, so he carried Shen Qian to the Lin family.I met Lin Ruhan.And the old lady also had this thought, so she left Xiao Shenqian in the Lin family, and raised her with Lin Ruhan.It stands to reason that childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts.It should be the best years.

However, Shen Qian has a problem: while she is receiving strict boudoir education, she has a tendency to violence.

Probably because of the high pressure of study, the nanny disciplined her too harshly.Shen Qian, the eldest lady who has never experienced hardship since she was a child, often humiliates and bullies the little maids.Anyone who does not obey her request will be served by the maids with sticks.Often the maids' faces are bruised and swollen, and in severe cases, the root cause of the disease is also lost——

There was a maid named Yan'er, who had her femur broken by someone sent by Shen Qian because she didn't kneel down to serve her.A few years later, Yan'er's old illness relapsed, and she jumped into the well and died.The ridiculous thing is: Shen Qian's violent temper is so serious that all the maids in the family respect her like a tiger and a wolf.So trembling, not daring to be surprised.In this way, she also won the reputation of "well-disciplined".With this reputation in her body, Shen Qian is even more proud, and she likes to torture the maid to vent.But they don't know how painful these whips and boards are when they hit people.

Lin Ruhan followed the old lady's order to find Shen Qian, so she often saw this scene: a little girl sitting in the hall, dressed in brocade clothes, but with a cold face.The two little servant girls on the ground tremblingly begged for mercy.The girls remained unmoved, and coldly asked the women and servants to pull them down and beat them violently.When Lin Ruhan was talking to Shen Qian, the girl's thoughts were all on the crying outside.The louder the little maids cried, the happier the little girl was, and she even clapped her hands.If they were beaten until they lost their breath and couldn't scream, the little girl would ask someone to pour cold water on them.

This sister is very tough.

This was Lin Ruhan's first impression of Shen Qian, and it was carried through from beginning to end.

Lin Ruhan studied the polite Confucianism, and was very dissatisfied with the violent Shen Qian.What's more, Shen Qian is only considered dignified, not a big beauty.Later, Lin Ruhan won the first prize, and his vision became higher and higher.When he returned home and faced the affectionate Shen Qian, he had only one thought in his heart: this woman is not the one he likes.

At that time, Shen Qian was already sensible.After Yan'er died, she also restrained herself a little.Began to transform into a gentle lady.It's a pity that the first impression was too bad, Lin Ruhan just didn't like Shen Qian.Shen Qian married Lin Ruhan when she was 15 years old.Two years later, the two are still childless.At this time, it happened that Lin Erye was an official in another place, and he was at ease, so it naturally required a lot of expenses.And the money that Lin Ruhan used to manage the officialdom was embezzled by the old lady for the enjoyment of the second son.

This made Shen Qian unhappy.He was even quite angry with Lin Sun.The two women confronted each other many times, and Lin Sun was worthy of being the master's daughter, she spoke with a sharp mouth and said nothing to Shen Qian.Where did Shen Qian suffer from such hardships? Because of her bad face, she had an attack.But there are more and more dissatisfaction with the second room in my heart.

The seeds of future disasters were planted at this time.

Later, Lin Sun broke the child and died of dystocia.Lin Ruhan couldn't afford to be seriously ill and died.The Lin family suddenly became lonely.In order to fight for the right to inherit the title, Shen Qian and Jia Min started a contest.

While the struggle in the back house was endless, Shuyu and Yanyu were born one after another.Shen Qian was very busy.As a result, Lin Ruhan was so lonely that she asked for an outside room.And because the external methods are powerful.Get his favor.Later, when he went to the Hanlin Academy to succeed him, he disliked Shen Qian for disturbing the two of them.So she was left in Yangzhou, and the husband and wife could not see each other for many years.

At this time, Shen Qian began to serve the old lady as hard as she could, and gained a good reputation as a good housewife.However, this good reputation cannot change Lin Ruhan's heart.Aunt Qiu frightened him into not going back to Yangzhou.Even during the holidays, Lin Ruhan didn't send anyone to greet Shen Yan with greetings.From the jewel in the palm of her grandfather, she has been reduced to a young daughter-in-law who guards her empty boudoir alone.It wasn't until such a situation that Shen Qian realized that the first priority of being a wife is to please her husband.

It's a pity that at this time, the husband has already fallen into the arms of another woman, and has separated from him.

The old lady wept and said: "I still remember that your grandfather said to me before he died: that little girl of the Shen family, it is not important to punish the maid. I am afraid that something will happen sooner or later. Such a cruel woman, even if she Married as a grown-up, and became a mother, the bad temper in her bones can't be changed. The ancients said: Three years old is old. Now this little girl is eight years old, and the situation of this life can be seen: she must be a hard-headed person in the future. An incomparable character. We can't choose this kind of wife for the third child..."

Shaking her head, as if mocking herself: "But Qian'er is the only daughter of my close sister. She also serves me very well, and I hope that she will change her bad temper one by one in the future. But... how could she have expected that she would be the Such people!"

After listening, Shu Yu and Dai Yu remained silent for a long time: The marriage between Lin Ruhan and Shen Qian was arranged by the old lady.This daughter-in-law, whom she loved and tolerated in every possible way, killed her most beloved youngest son and youngest daughter-in-law.Is this considered Shen Qian's revenge on the old lady?Taking revenge on the old man made her an unhappy marriage.

After a long time, it was Shu Yu who said first: "Shu'er, Yan'er can't follow her anymore."

Daiyu echoed, "Grandma doesn't have to blame herself: the instigator of all this is the third aunt herself. I think she hid it too well, and no one in the family found out that she was harboring evil intentions. Only my mother said before she died: You can't have a deep friendship with the third aunt." It's just perfunctory every day. At first I thought she said it casually, but now it seems that mother suspects that the third aunt is uneasy and kind. But there is no evidence. Look: a smart and shrewd woman like my mother can't see through her , let alone you!"

Shu Yu took the opportunity to say: "Grandmother, there is one more thing, which is also strange: on the eve of my father's death, Granny Wu came to take care of me. Now it has been found out that Granny Wu and Nanny Shen are in the same group..."

"You mean: My Yuan'er was also killed by this bad old woman?! No, it's her! It's her! She did the crime!" The old lady screamed, as if her heart was twisted like a knife, and she grabbed Shu Yu with her withered old hands. hands do not let go.Shu Yu didn't dare to struggle, and comforted her grandmother repeatedly, fearing that she would lose her temper, so she quickly patted the old lady on the back.

Suddenly, a shrill "Ah!" pierced the night sky.This voice is so familiar, I know that the maid and mother-in-law at home listen to her orders every day.And so strange—it shouldn't belong to that gracious woman.Several people in the room looked at each other.Eyes full of fear.In the midst of this fear, the old lady threw her cane to the ground and said coldly: "It's righteousness for a girl to die to her husband's family. If she still wants to attack someone from my Lin family, she might as well poison me first!"
