Master of Rebirth

Mingmei stood far outside waiting, seeing Jinli coming out, she ran over eagerly, chattering a lot.

"Master Jinli, you are here. You don't know. Grandma has been going to Zhengxihou's mansion to look for you every day these days. She is going crazy, and she shows me face all day long. By the way, is Zhengxihou's mansion in the end?" What's the matter, why are you all locked up? You're out now, are you all right?"

Jinli originally wanted to strike up a conversation with Mingmei, and seeing her chasing after him, he smiled and said: "Recently, Zhengxihou's Mansion has indeed been troubled, because I have made great contributions, so the emperor is extra merciful and let me go .”

Mingmei's face was full of disappointment, "So that's the case, will Brother Ah Man be okay?"

"It's hard to say." Jinli sighed hypocritically, then looked at Mingmei and said, "However, with a beautiful and good girl like you worrying about the young master, it's worth it even if he never gets out. Sometimes I really envy the young master, he is so blessed."

After hearing this, a trace of grievance flashed across Mingmei's face, "Hey, it's a pity that Brother Ah Man has never looked at me in the eye."

Seeing the loneliness on Mingmei's face, Jinli smiled slightly, patted her on the shoulder lightly, and said softly: "That's the young master who has no eyes, and doesn't understand the kindness of the person in front of him. Mingmei, in fact, a long time ago, I have paid attention to you. At that time, I thought, if I can marry a beautiful girl like you, this life will not be in vain. "

"Master Jinli, you..." I didn't expect Jinli to say this suddenly, Mingmei couldn't believe it.In fact, if Jinli had confessed to her a few years ago, Mingmei would definitely have dismissed her.But after so many years of wasting, she was also a little short of breath.

Giving Mingmei a gentle smile, Jinli looked at her slightly flushed face, pretended to be depressed and asked: "But... you are so beautiful, there must be a lot of people who come to propose marriage. I don't know if Granny Ma has pointed you out. ?”

Reddened by Jinli's words, Mingmei quickly lowered her head, pinched the hem of her clothes and said, "I mentioned a few, but I'm not suitable."

"I'm relieved." Jin Li's tone jumped up instantly, "How can ordinary people match up with a good girl like you? When I become a general, how about marrying you as the general's wife?"

She was extremely moved by the words "General's Madam", Mingmei's face was flushed with shame, and she shyly remained silent.

"You can think about it." Jinli observed his words and did not continue, but said seriously: "You are so bright, let me ask you, where has Mrs. Ma been going these few days, and who has she met?"

Mingmei's heart was messed up by him, and she was about to change the subject, when she heard the words, she hurriedly said: "Grandma has often gone out to ask for help for brother Ah Man's affairs these days. The place she went to the most was Dali Temple, but unfortunately the people inside Avoid her."

"Is there any more?" Jinli leaned close to Mingmei's ear and whispered seductively.

Mingmei's ears were flushed with embarrassment, and she subconsciously followed his question: "Oh, by the way, grandma went to Xianyunfang yesterday. But she suddenly fell ill for some reason, and was sent back by Wang Sheng, and invited a doctor."

"Do you know what she said to Wang Sheng?" Jin Li asked.

Ming Mei said: "Grandma didn't take me with her when she went to Xianyunfang. I don't know what they said. But it should have something to do with Brother Ah Man. Wang Sheng watched the doctor take his pulse and left."

"Okay, I get it. Take good care of Granny Ma, and I'll come to see you again sometime." Gently helping Mingmei straighten her messy hair, Jinli smiled at her and left without looking back.

Looking at Jinli's back, her bright face was flushed, and her heart was pounding.

After the girl got married, she did not stop persuading Mingmei to let her have less unrealistic dreams and find a dutiful family to live in.Don't follow in your own footsteps and waste your youth in vain.But Mingmei is not reconciled.Seeing that his age is getting older by a year, Zhao Jing has become out of reach.Don't worry, it's fake.Now that Zhao Jing has committed a crime, there is no need to count on it. Marrying Jinli as the general's wife seems to be a good choice as the next best thing.

……

Jinli walked out of the gate and turned into a dark alley. Not long after, an unremarkable man appeared behind him.

"Master, this subordinate has received news that Zhao Ke has gone to the East Palace, and just now he went to the Inner Punishment Court to meet Wang Qi." The man cupped his hands at Jinli.

After hearing this, Jinli immediately became alert.Just as Wang Sheng met Mrs. Ma, Zhao Ke went to the palace to meet Zhao Jing and Wang Qi. Could it be that Mrs. Ma really said something to Wang Sheng?

"When did this happen?" Jin Li hurriedly asked.

The man said: "One hour ago, Zhao Ke has already come out of the Inner Punishment Court, and he is still in the East Palace."

"Hurry up and check if Zhao Ke has met anyone before entering the palace, especially the people from Xianyunfang." Jin Li said urgently.

The man said: "Zhao Ke entered the palace early yesterday morning, and was left in the palace by the concubines. He never went out, and I didn't hear that anyone in the mansion was looking for him. I probably haven't seen anyone else."

Yesterday morning, Mrs. Ma hadn't met Wang Sheng yet, so Wang Sheng would not reveal any news to Zhao Ke.Jinli finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Actually, Jinli couldn't be blamed for being nervous.Zhengxihou's Mansion was closed because Mrs. Ma went to Dali Temple to report on Shen Yutang without authorization.And the reason why Mrs. Ma did this was all because of his intentional instigation.Fortunately, after Zhengxihou's Mansion was sealed off, people inside couldn't get out, people outside couldn't get in, so they couldn't communicate with Mrs. Ma.But this also trapped him.

Jinli thought that he would have to spend more thought and effort to get out, but he didn't expect that the prince wanted to make things easier for Zhengxihou's mansion, so he begged the emperor to release him.But the emperor thought that he had done something to kill Shen Yingjie, so he agreed.All the people in Zhengxihou's Mansion were under house arrest. Naturally, they hoped that someone would go out to inquire about the news. Not only did they not doubt him, but they were also very fortunate.

Things have progressed to this point, more smoothly than he expected.Jinli wanted to continue to deceive each other between Mrs. Ma and the Zhengxihou's Mansion, but Mrs. Ma saw through him at this juncture.

Jinli knew that the people in Zhengxihou's Mansion should not be suspicious of him, otherwise everything would be in vain.Not only Mrs. Ma, but also Wang Sheng, who might know his secret, must be dealt with immediately.Thinking of this, Jinli couldn't help frowning, Ma Pozi and Wang Sheng had a close relationship with Zhengxihou Mansion and Zhao Ke.If he died suddenly, it would definitely cause more unnecessary troubles.If it is not handled properly, it may cause fire.

"Master, did something happen?" Seeing Jinli's face was cloudy, the man hurriedly asked: "Could it be that the emperor let you out, making other people in Zhengxihou Mansion suspect?"

Jin Li said in a deep voice: "That's not true. I thought Mrs. Ma was stupid, but I didn't expect her to have some brains. Zhao Jing was already worried about Mrs. Ma's exposure of Shen Yutang behind his back. If I let them communicate, sooner or later To be exposed."

"Anyway, the master's goal has been achieved. If that's the case, why don't you act in a different capacity," said the man.

Jinli shook his head and said: "No, I managed to get Jinli to gain the trust of the emperor and the crown prince. There is a greater use in staying in Zhengxihou's mansion. This identity cannot be easily given up."

"Then what is the master going to do?" The man said: "Mrs. Ma is old, and she can find only a limited number of people. As long as she can't see the people from Zhengxihou's Mansion, she can't do anything. The most troublesome thing now is Wang Sheng. He Xianyunfang has a lot of people and is familiar with Zhao Ke, Zhao Ke can enter the palace at any time."

Although I really want to take care of Wang Sheng and the whole Xianyunfang, but right now I really don't have enough energy, so I can only let people stare at them.

"You're right." Jin Li said in a deep voice: "From now on, you send people to watch Zhao Ke and everyone in Xianyunfang, especially that Wang Sheng, and pay attention to their every move. Once they have Contact, be sure to tell me."

The man wondered: "Since the master is so worried, why didn't he kill Wang Sheng directly? It can also avoid future troubles."

Jin Li shook his head, and said: "Wang Sheng just met Mrs. Ma and then died, which is more likely to attract suspicion. Zhao Jing is not a fool, and will definitely encourage the prince to send someone to Mrs. Ma to find out the reason. At that time, we can still Can't you kill everyone?"

"What the master said is true. But there are too many people in Xianyunfang, and we have limited manpower now, so we really can't keep an eye on them." The man said awkwardly.

After a little deliberation, Jinli said: "Shen Yutang and Zhou Ying's affairs are almost done, and they can be withdrawn."

"Yes, this subordinate will do it now." After the man took the order, he left.

After the man left, Jin Li's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he turned around and threw a hidden weapon.The hidden weapon flashed a cold light, flew around the empty alley, and returned to Jinli's hand.Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a boomerang with exquisite design and extremely sharp.

Looking at the still quiet alley, Jin Li put away the boomerang, feeling a little funny to himself, and couldn't help muttering: "It seems that I'm too nervous."

After saying this, he walked out of the alley unhurriedly.

Not long after Jinli left, a figure flashed past and chased him away.

At night, Dingbei Hou Mansion was silent.

With a sullen face, Zhou Ying walked to Shen Yutang's door with heavy steps.

Ever since his son died of illness, he has been deeply saddened and can only bury himself in the heavy official duties.After work, it is often late at night.In order not to affect Shen Yutang's rest, Zhou Ying has mostly rested in the study for the past few years, and has not had sex with Shen Yutang for a long time.

"Greetings to Lord Hou." The maid guarding the door saw Zhou Ying and quickly knelt down to salute.

With a cold answer, Zhou Ying wanted to open the door and go in.

"Master Hou." The maid stood in front of Zhou Ying, knelt down in fear and said, "Madam is not feeling well, she has already rested."

Seeing the maid standing in front of the door babbling and refusing to leave, Zhou Ying's already depressed mood became even more irritable.Lifting her foot to kick the maid away, Zhou Ying pushed the door open and strode in.

"Master Hou, it's so late, why are you here?" Inside the room, a pale middle-aged woman was leaning on the bed. Although she didn't wear makeup, her delicate face was still bright and charming.

Zhou Ying looked at the beauty on the couch, but there was no emotion on his face. Instead, he asked in a cold voice: "How did the emperor know about Zhengxihou's mansion? Could it be that you asked someone to tell the emperor?"

Although this is a question, the tone is full of affirmation.

"That's right." Shen Yutang didn't deny it, but raised her head, looked at Zhou Ying confidently, and said, "Zhao Rui hides and forges the imperial decree. Those who have ulterior motives and evil intentions are the crime of deceiving the emperor. I will tell the emperor to help him expose this treason." My dear, is there something wrong?"

Seeing that Shen Yutang admitted it, Zhou Ying said in disbelief: "How did you tell the emperor, is there someone in your Shen family in the palace?"

The corners of Shen Yutang's mouth curled up slightly, and he didn't speak, which was a tacit agreement.

Angrily, Zhou Ying pointed at her and asked sharply, "What time is this, and you still refuse to stop for a while, don't tell me you want to kill yourself?"

"Hehe." Shen Yutang chuckled, her tone full of hatred, "I won't stop? The one who won't stop is your precious son Zhao Jing. Since he wants me to die wholeheartedly, how can I make him happy? ?”

Sighing heavily, Zhou Ying slowed down her tone, and persuaded: "I have already found out, it was Madam Ma who did it behind Zhao Jing's back, and he didn't know about it. I managed to save your life in front of the emperor, why should you bother?" How about that? If the emperor finds out that you still have hidden clues in the palace, you will never be spared!"

"Save me?" Shen Yutang laughed strangely, looked at Zhou Ying with a sarcasm, and said, "What you mean by saving me is to let me survive after my family has been destroyed and my reputation has been ruined? Why don't you just kill me?" happy."

Rubbing between her brows, Zhou Ying said with a hint of fatigue in her tone, "I've told you many times that Ning Anbo is not your father at all. Your biological father passed away many years ago. The person who replaced him is a treasonous imperial convict, you..."

"I don't care who he is." Interrupting Zhou Ying's words mercilessly, Shen Yutang sat up straight and said coldly: "My original father would only let me keep my duty, endure everything, and give nothing Me. And your so-called imperial court prisoner gave me everything I wanted, and never made me feel wronged. In my eyes, he is thousands of times better than that useless father."

Looking at Shen Yutang in surprise, Zhou Ying said in surprise, "How can you think like that?"

"Am I wrong?" Shen Yutang said: "Since we were young, my sister and I have been outstanding in the whole capital, whether it is appearance or talent. But just because we have an incompetent father, not only can we not be mediocre in Beijing In front of the fans, the scenery is unrestrained, but because of their outstanding appearance, they are suppressed, jealous, excluded, and may even be kicked out of the earl's mansion because the father can't give birth to a son, and become ordinary people. How can we be reconciled? Fortunately, after the death of the wimpy , he came. He not only kept our mother and daughter's title and wealth, but also made my sister and I become masters, and trampled all those bitches who were jealous and oppressed us in the past. He changed our sisters The destiny is that he makes us proud."

Speaking of this, Shen Yutang's eyes were full of resentment. She looked at Zhou Ying, gritted her teeth and said, "Why did you kill him? Why didn't you help him kill the prince. Jingse is also the son of the emperor, and it is justified to inherit the throne. He The uncle who has called you for so many years is also your own nephew, after he ascends the throne, can he lose your benefits?"

At this moment, Shen Yutang's face was ferocious, not at all the gentle and peaceful look of the past.It was as if the Ning'anbo mansion was a gorgeous fig leaf, and now that it was torn off, what was exposed was the viciousness and ugliness inside.

"I, Zhou Ying, am loyal to Emperor Liang and the people of the world, not any prince, let alone your Shen family." Surprised by Shen Yutang's reasonable tone, Zhou Ying said: "Besides, Wuzhu's thoughts are vicious and ulterior, and he and Qi The prince has no blood relationship. Do you think that after he succeeds in rebelling, the seventh prince will be able to be the emperor safely? According to his resentment towards Emperor Liang, I am afraid that all the princes will not be able to escape his revenge. When the court is in turmoil, the country will Instability, it is the innocent people who suffer. What benefits can you and I have? They are just sinners who have been unfaithful and unrighteous through the ages."

Shen Yutang snorted coldly, and said indifferently: "Then what does it matter to me? Anyway, no matter whether Jing Se or Yingjie is the emperor, they will keep my identity and status."

"I thought you were a virtuous, virtuous, kind-hearted person. Now it seems that I was so wrong." Zhou Ying said disappointedly: "I didn't expect you to be so heartless, ungrateful, selfish and unreasonable. To be honest, Mrs. Ma is in Is what Dali Temple said true? Shen Yuwei didn't cause you to have a miscarriage. You accidentally lost the child yourself, and together with the doctor and the nurses in the house, you bribed Cuiyun and blamed everything on her. superior?"

Shen Yutang giggled, looked up at Zhou Ying, her red and phoenix eyes were lifted high, but she said with incomparable tenderness: "Zhou Lang, what's the point of saying these things now? Yes, I'm lying I'm sorry for you. Shen Yuwei's lowly maidservant is just a bastard who can't even compare to the mud under my feet. With her virtue, she dared to climb on top of me to be my wife, and even robbed my husband to have a son. You say , how could I tolerate her?"

"That's true, that's true." With a self-deprecating smile, Zhou Ying closed her eyes, and then asked: "What about Rui'er? He was born under your watch and grew up by your side. How did he die? "

The Rui'er that Zhou Ying was talking about was his second son, and also the only heir to be conferred by the Marquis of Dingbei.

After Shen Yuwei was deposed and sent to the side courtyard, no one would have thought that she would manage to send Zhao Jing out of the mansion, and sneaked into Shen Yutang's side, stabbed her seriously, and then committed suicide.Although Shen Yutang saved her life, it also hurt her roots, and she will not be able to bear children in the future.For this reason, Zhou Ying has always felt guilty.Fearing that Shen Yutang would be unhappy seeing Zhao Jing, Zhou Ying did not insist on sending someone out to look for him, but let him fend for himself outside.

The Shen family's prostitute and concubine are fighting like this, if it spreads, it will only make people laugh, it will damage the face of Uncle Ning'an and Shen Yutang's reputation, Shen Guifei's face is also not good-looking.After discussing with Ning'an Bofu and his wife, Zhou Ying decided to keep this matter a secret.

The Marquis of Dingbei couldn't give up his heir, in order to keep Shen Yutang's status and put an end to the rumors outside, Ning'anbo Mansion secretly sent a woman.Zhou Rui was born to that woman, but unfortunately the child died of illness after the age of ten.

"Anyway, it's already like this, and I have nothing to hide." Shen Yutang has obviously started to break the jar, "Although Rui'er is not my own, he is my son in name, and I have always wanted to treat him as my own." But this child is too ignorant. I don’t know what gossip he heard outside, but he came back and asked me if I was his biological mother. I worked hard to raise him for ten years, but I didn’t expect him to hate me. You say, I How is it possible to keep him alive?"

Zhou Ying said heartbroken: "How can you take a few words of a child seriously? As the saying goes, the kindness of nurturing is greater than the sky. You treated his mother kindly and raised him. Even if Rui'er knows the truth in the future, it is impossible. hate you."

"Hehe, Zhou Lang, sometimes, I really don't know whether you are pretending to be stupid or really naive. No matter what I say, you actually believe it." Shen Yutang smiled lightly: "How could I treat that bitch kindly? But Just give her a good death. Ruier has already become suspicious of his life experience, if he knows the truth, how could he not hate me? Even if he is openly respectful to me, wouldn't he secretly do something to harm me?"

Looking coldly at the vicious woman with a beautiful face and twisted heart, Zhou Ying's heart was unexpectedly calm, as if this was not the wife he had known for many years, but an irrelevant stranger.Perhaps a long time ago, Zhou Ying had been vaguely aware of Shen Yutang's true colors, but after so many years, he has always chosen to ignore it.It is also retribution to fall into this fate now.

"You really killed Rui'er..." Zhou Ying asked again when she heard her own voice, "Why... Ever since you entered the mansion, I have always favored and believed in you. If you want to be a wife, I will divorce Shen Yuwei. You don't like me taking concubines, so I'll be honest with all women. Even Rui'er's birth was requested by you. I ask myself, how can you treat me like this?"

Shen Yutang looked at Zhou Ying with a funny face and said, "Zhou Lang, don't act as if I'm sorry for you. That's right, I beg you to spoil that bitch and give birth to Rui'er. But I was also forced to do nothing! I can't give birth anymore. Well, even if you didn’t mind at the time, wouldn’t you care about it all the time? I’m just turning passive into active. It’s easier to find someone yourself than you can get someone from somewhere. Besides, you really love me when you treat me well Is it? You are just acting. Do you think I don't know about the mess between you and Zhao Rui? He has been fighting with you for so many years. During the change in southern Yunnan, our Shen family almost forced Zhengxihou's mansion into You are in a desperate situation, but you have been unwilling to kill him, isn't it because you have no love for him?"

"What do you want to say?" Zhou Ying's face was already very ugly.

Shen Yutang smiled and said: "Zhou Lang, do you still need me to make my words so clear? With Zhao Jing's appearance, anyone with eyes can tell that he is your seed. Zhao Rui and you have been fighting tit for tat for so many years. Why do you insist on recognizing your son as the heir, and still acquiesce in the quarrel between him and that man? Didn't he just want to prove you through Zhao Jing? My son is born with a broken sleeve, so I can still run far?"

"So all these years, you have always viewed our relationship like this?" Zhou Yingdao: "In your opinion, I married you and doted on you because I used you as a shield to cover up my broken sleeves?"

Shen Yutang snorted coldly and said nothing, which was a tacit consent.

Although she was prepared, Zhou Ying still felt a little chilly, "Since you have lied to me for so many years, why didn't you keep lying to me, why do you want to tell the whole story now?"

"I'm just too lazy to pretend, and there's no need to pretend anymore. The Shen family and the Seventh Prince have already fallen, and I have nothing to look forward to. But even if I die, I won't take advantage of Shen Yuwei's son." Looking up at Zhou Ying, Shen Yutang gritted his teeth and said: "Zhou Lang, you don't have to deny it. In fact, you still really want to recognize Zhao Jing in your heart. Maybe you have had this idea since you first met him. You have told Zhao Jing many times Isn't it possible for me to show mercy to Zhengxihoufu's subordinates? But I finally defeated that bitch Shen Yuwei, so how could I give up everything I got to that bitch's son?"

Zhou Yingdao: "Whether you want it or not, Zhao Jing is my son."

"Hehe, I'm afraid Zhao Jing might not think so." Shen Yutang smiled coquettishly, and said, "Zhou Lang, although I stabbed the emperor in the matter of conquering the West Marquis Mansion, Zhao Jing will definitely keep this account on you. On the head. Even if Zhengxihou's mansion can escape, what about that man named Wang Qi? He is dead anyway, and the emperor has no possibility of letting him go. You not only killed Zhao Jing's mother, but also killed him. His most beloved man, do you think he will forgive you in this life?"

"So, you did not hesitate to set yourself up just to provoke the relationship between me and Zhao Jing, so that we will live forever?" Zhou Ying was trembling with anger, and even her eyes were red.

Shen Yutang sat up calmly, and said leisurely: "Zhao Jing will not let me go, instead of waiting in fear for the guillotine to fall, it is better to fight back. Even if you die, you can bite the enemy A piece of meat. I heard that Zhao Jing fell in love with Wang Qi for 10 minutes, and for him, he would not hesitate to fall out with the mother-in-law who worked so hard to raise him. Do you think that if Wang Qi dies, will Zhao Jing die in love with her?"

"Oh, you are good at calculating." Zhou Ying looked at Shen Yutang coldly, as if looking at a dead person, "You want to die with all your heart, do you think I will let you die so happily?"

Shen Yutang snorted coldly, looked at Zhou Ying and said, "Since I dare to tear myself apart with you, I don't intend to live."

After saying this, Shen Yutang wanted to bite through the poison hidden in her teeth in advance.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Ying had quick eyes and quick hands, and even took off her chin first.Hearing only a "cough and snap", Shen Yutang couldn't let out the wailing, and was trembling with pain all over his body.It's a pity that Zhou Ying restrained him, and he couldn't even struggle.

Throwing Shen Yutang on the bed, Zhou Ying clapped her hands, and immediately two strong nuns opened the door and walked in.

"Clean it up for her." Zhou Ying ordered coldly.

The faces of the two nuns did not change at all, and they immediately cleaned up the poison hidden in Shen Yutang's teeth quickly, searched her whole body and the whole room, and then put the things they found in front of Zhou Ying, before bowing backed out.

Picking up a bottle on the table and shaking it, Zhou Ying looked at Shen Yutang who was tied up by Wuhuada, and said with a smile: "These are poisons given to you by Wuzhu and Shen Yingjie. I didn't forget to give you a hand before I died. It's a pity that you want to die quickly, but it's not that easy. Since Mrs. Ma has sued you to Dali Temple, you should obey the law obediently and return Shen Yuwei's innocence."

Shen Yutang was kneeling on the ground, with a strangely long mouth, drooling all over the floor, coupled with those venomous eyes, she looked like a crazy woman.

Zhou Ying got up and connected her mandible. Shen Yutang ignored the pain and yelled hysterically at Zhou Ying, "Do you think Zhao Jing will forgive you if you treat me as a favor? Shen Yuwei's death, you also have a part in it."

"If you make a mistake, you will have to pay it back. I am willing to be responsible for what I have done. But before that, we still have to settle the accounts between us." Zhou Ying could not hear the slightest turmoil in her tone. There was no warmth in the eyes looking at Shen Yutang.

Wanting to die but not being able to die, Shen Yutang panicked and couldn't help showing weakness: "Why, is Zhou Lang going to torture me? Don't you love Tang'er the most?"

Looking down at Shen Yutang, Zhou Yingrou said softly: "Tang'er, I dote on you to believe you, not because of how clever your lies are, but because I am willing to believe you. I have given all the tenderness that I have rarely seen in my life. You, but you play me like a fool. We must calculate this account carefully. You don't think that I became the Marquis of Dingbei because of my kindness and softness. My means, you It's time to get acquainted."

……

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Hahahaha, Zhou Ying and Shen Yutang both deserved it for the scene of a big broken relationship.
