Chapter 116 Don’t know what’s good or bad

After half a stick of incense.

The carriage stopped, Song Shiwei got off and looked at the mansion in front of her which was hung with red silk. On it was a gilded plaque which read: Number One in the Imperial Examination.

She turned around and looked at Jamel Xiao in surprise and asked, "What is this?"

Xiao Jingheng smiled and said, "This is the No. 1 Scholar's Mansion given to you by His Majesty. How about it? Do you like it?"

Song Shiwei's eyes lit up, and she ran in, lifting her skirt, to admire her new mansion, which turned out to be a large house with three entrances.

There are garden ponds, rockery pavilions and nice scenery.

She stood on the observation deck and looked at a magnificent mansion in front of her, which seemed familiar.

She pointed and asked, "Whose mansion is in front?"

Xiao Jingheng raised his eyebrows, somewhat proudly: “This is my Prince Ling’s Mansion.”

Song Shiwei: "..."

She said it looked familiar and it turned out to be Xiao Jingheng's mansion.

It’s just that the main gate of Xiao Jingheng’s mansion is not on the same street as hers, but the back doors are facing each other.

In other words, from now on Jamel Xiao would only need to climb over two walls to easily sneak into her home.

Song Shiwei glanced at Xiao Jingheng and said, "You helped me choose this mansion, right?"

She asked how the house given by His Majesty was ready so quickly, and it must be that Xiao Jingheng had prepared it in advance.

Even if Your Majesty does not grant her a house, she will still live here in the future.

Xiao Jingheng asked her: "You don't like it? Every plant and tree here was designed by me personally.

There is also a piece of land in the backyard for you to grow fruits and vegetables."

"Really? Take me to see it."

Song Shiwei was overjoyed to hear that there was still land to grow fruits and vegetables, and she pulled Xiao Jingheng to the backyard.

At this time, outside the city gate.

Shen Linzhou was pulling a cart with some difficulty. On the cart lay his mother's body and the seriously injured and unconscious Shen Linchuan.

He pawned the most valuable jade pendant on his body for some silver, intending to buy a coffin and find a doctor.

However, no one was willing to sell to him, and no one was willing to treat Shen Linchuan.

Shen Linzhou had no choice but to buy a flatbed truck and take the two of them out of the city.

He knew very well that they could no longer stay in the capital, and returning to Qingzhou might offer them a glimmer of hope, but his legs and feet were disabled and his sister was too weak.

It was very difficult for the brother and sister to pull the cart, especially as the weather was getting warmer. The body could not be kept for long, so they had to buy a coffin as soon as possible to place it.

But the next city is still dozens of miles away.

Shen Suyun was a weak woman, and she was too tired to walk far.

Looking at his mother's dead body, his seriously injured brother, and his own bruised feet, he felt completely miserable.

She couldn't hold it in any longer and sat on the ground crying.

Shen Linzhou stopped crying when he heard her cry, and scolded her irritably, "Cry, cry, cry, all you do is cry.

If you hadn't been so sarcastic and disrespectful to Song Shiwei, would we have ended up like this?"

When Shen Suyun saw that her elder brother was blaming her, she immediately became furious and said, "You are still blaming me, it was obviously you who seduced me.

Why didn't you stop your second brother when he asked you to consummate the marriage? It was because you coveted Song Shiwei's beauty.

You're not a good person if you say I'm sarcastic."

The two brothers and sisters were ruthless and tore apart each other's hypocrisy.

Shen Linzhou listened to his sister's accusation, raised his hand and slapped himself, saying: "You are right, I am not a good person either."

He asked Shen Suyun: "Can we leave now?"

Shen Suyun said with tears in her eyes: "I can't walk anymore."

"Shen Suyun!"

Shen Linzhou shouted angrily: "Do you still think you are some rich lady?

The weather is hot now, and my mother's body won't last long. Do you want her to be left exposed in the wilderness and rot into maggots?"

He no longer paid attention to Shen Suyun and continued pulling the cart forward with some difficulty.

Shen Suyun was scared. She was afraid that her brother would abandon her and not care about her, so she had to endure the pain and chase after him, continuing to push the cart.

Just then, a carriage passed by them, blocking their way.

Shen Linzhou stopped and looked at the blocked carriage, feeling a little nervous. Could it be that someone didn't want them to leave the capital alive?

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard a woman's voice coming from the carriage: "Are you really willing to leave the capital like this?"

"who are you?"

Shen Linzhou asked the person in the carriage. Although she did not show up, judging from her voice, she should be a young woman.

"Help your people."

The woman said: "It's Song Shiwei's fault that you ended up like this.

Now she is enjoying great success while your family is ruined, don't you want revenge?"

Shen Linzhou frowned and said, "If you have a grudge against Song Shiwei, you can just take revenge on your own, don't drag us into it."

He knew very well that this woman came to show her courtesy at this time just to take advantage of them.

The Shen family's current fate is their own fault and has nothing to do with others.

He also didn't want them to become pawns in the hands of others.

Shen Linzhou said coldly: "Please make way."

"Ah."

The woman sneered and said lightly, "You are a cripple but you have quite a bit of backbone.

Why do you feel guilty now and want to be a good person? Don’t you think it’s too late? "

Shen Linzhou frowned and asked, "What do you want?"

"Your mother's body can no longer be left here, and Shen Linchuan is going to die if he is not treated.

If you refuse my request for the sake of your dignity, you are just stupid."

The woman said, "Let me ask you again, are you willing to accept my kindness?"

Shen Linzhou was a little conflicted. This time they had really reached the end of the road.

But once you choose to accept it, who knows if it will be another hell?

Now he just wants to send his mother back to Qingzhou, away from the intrigues and power struggles in the capital, and live as an ordinary citizen.

He took a deep breath and said, "Please make way."

"I don't know what to do."

The woman was obviously angry. She snorted, "Let's go."

The carriage turned around and was about to leave when Shen Linchuan, who was lying in the carriage, suddenly said, "Wait a minute."

He sat up with some difficulty, looking at the carriage in front of him with a pale face: "I promise you, as long as you can save our lives, I, Shen Linchuan, am willing to do anything for you."

"very good."

The woman smiled slightly, reached out and opened the curtain to reveal half of her pretty face.

She said, "You are indeed someone who can accomplish great things. There is a house not far ahead. You and your sister can stay there for the time being.

I will find the best doctor for you to handle your mother's funeral.

Come back and repay me for saving your life after you have recovered from your injury."

The curtain was lowered, and the woman left a guard to lead the way for them, then left in a carriage.

Shen Linzhou looked back at Shen Linchuan and said, "Do you know what you are doing?

Are you willing to kill all of us?"

Shen Linchuan's eyes were cold and his voice was stern: "If you are afraid, you can go back to Qingzhou by yourself. No one will stop you."

"madman."

Shen Linzhou spat and cursed. He knew that staying might be a mistake.

But for the sake of his mother and Shen Linchuan's injury, he still compromised.

The three brothers and sisters followed the guard and disappeared into the mountains and forests.
