Step-Mother has Given Up

"Who is it, does it matter?" Ye Shaofu pressed his fan against his chin, and looked at Shen Yanmo with a smile but a smile, "I have hurt you from beginning to end. If you must know who I am, Yun Lang can only say that Lord Shen is an upright person, with a breeze in his sleeves, and loves the people like a child. I just don't want him to die as worthless."

He did not directly answer the topic of the Shen brothers and sisters. Shen Yuanan looked at Ye Shaofu thoughtfully: "Why should we trust you?"

Ye Shaofu smiled and said, "Apart from me, do you have anyone you trust? As far as I know, Mr. Shen had been visited by someone before he hanged himself. Later, this person overcame your father's shortcomings and became a salt transport agent? No matter how things look wrong, your father died and he was promoted. There is no such reason."

Shen Yanmo looked at Ye Shaofu as if he had met him for the first time. Is this person trustworthy? He helped her from the beginning, as if he had never done anything to harm them, but he was too mysterious and dangerous, making people wonder keep away.

"When your father served as the salt transport agent, he gave the emperor a memorial not far away. The emperor read this memorial and knew that the salt tax in Lianghuai had a great disadvantage. He wanted people to clear the matter. So I want to ask you, before your father died, did you give you something for you to keep it specially?" Ye Shaofu said.

"Are you King King?" Shen Yanmo guessed boldly.

Although it was a guess, it was already eight points. The salt tax in Lianghuai is very troublesome. The emperor has to send a credible person. This is the person in front of him. He is valued by the emperor, and since he was young, he is frail.

Ye Shaofu coughed a few times, and looked at Shen Yanmo with admiration: "Madam is smart. I didn't want to hide my identity, but I have offended a lot before. Please forgive me. I respect Master Shen's behavior, so I want to protect my wife. People in Kyoto say that they are terrible, and the wife is reunited with Wuchanghou, so she has no choice but to think that Mrs. Na’s idea of ​​being a concubine is definitely not to blaspheme the wife." This is half true, but it makes people unable to fault.

His frank words made Shen Yanmo unable to argue.

Shen Yuanan couldn't calm down, remembering his promise to Shen Yanmo, thinking twice before doing things, couldn't hold back the anger in his chest, clenched his fists, and couldn't help but blurt out swear words: "You bastard."

Ye Shaofu smiled and didn't care: "Master Shen hit and beat, and scolded. Now it's time to get rid of his anger."

Shen Yanmo got up and shouted at the moon gate: "Who is where?" Hearing Dongxue's reply, she said, "Make a pot of tea and serve some snacks." Looking back at Ye Shaofu: "The beating is also the prince's carefulness. Planning, the prince is now asking for credit when he speaks it out?"

Ye Shaofu touched the tip of his nose. He didn't expect Shen Yanmo to speak out in public, and coughed slightly: "Let him pass the past. Let's not mention it. Let's talk about Lord Shen first. The emperor ordered me to find out about Lianghuai. The salt tax matter will inevitably lead to the death of Lord Shen, Lord Shen is in vain, and I will definitely give him justice."

Shen Yanmo said nothing, it would be best if he could prove his father's innocence. In the future, they will have a better life when they return to Kyoto. At this moment, she still didn't know that, under the rumors, the Shen family had moved. If you know, you must clap your hands and cheer.

Ye Shaofu was also unwilling to waste time with irrelevant people, and asked: "Before the accident, Mr. Shen, what was wrong?"

Shen Yanmo tried to think about it, and finally got a little vague impression: "That day, my mother took her brother to restore it, as if she went with Master Wen's wife."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Yuanan added: "I went with Mrs. Wen. Before that, I fell ill. There was no medical treatment for medicine and stone. God doctor Xue was not in Yangzhou at that time. His mother was desperate. I turned it into water and gave it to me to drink. It’s amazing. After drinking it, I’ll be fine. My mother took me up the mountain to restore. My sister is young and the road to the mountain is not easy. My father asked her to stay in the house. I cried a lot. But my father didn't change his mind. In the end, my mother and I went with Mrs. Wen."

Ye Shaofu thought for a long time, and Dongxue brought the teapot and snacks over and placed them on the table one by one.

I heard Ye Shaofu say: "Will your illness be caused by human beings to lead you out to coerce Master Shen. Why Master Shen hangs himself? I still don’t understand. Hearing you say this, I am suddenly enlightened, Mrs. Wen. Take you out, Master Wen enters the mansion and threatens Master Shen. If he wants his wife and children to survive, it makes sense to see what he wants."

Those people may have thought about killing Shen's family, but the goal is too big, and the emperor will definitely investigate thoroughly. It is better to let Shen's pretend to be "suicide in fear of sin".

In this way, all the problems will be solved. The emperor feels that Lord Shen is guilty and will not believe what Shen Lord said. The second purpose is simpler, that is, to silence the mouth, and the dead will never speak.

Shen Yanmo was shocked, would this be the case? Will his murderer's enemy be Wen Ting's father. Shen Yuanan also thought of this question.

Ye Shaofu looked at Shen Yanmo: "Madam, think again, before your father died, did he give you things, ledgers, etc.?"

Shen Yanmo shook his head, suddenly remembering something, and said anxiously: "By the way, my father gave me a box of jewelry before his death. Dad once said that he should keep the jewelry and bring it slowly. The brocade box was painted by himself. It’s made of sandalwood, it’s very precious, so I must keep it well. I was laughing at my dad at the time, talking about the allusion of buying arbores and returning beads."

"Can you show me the box of madam's jewelry?" Ye Shaofu said eagerly.

Did Master Shen really leave important clues, why didn't he tell the emperor directly?

There was no one you could trust in the house? My daughter is so young that it is easy to say something. To protect her daughter's safety, did she do it so obscurely? A person who knows he is going to die must keep the evidence and take into account the safety of his daughter, so he can only hide clues in places where no one pays attention.

Shen Yanmo immediately ordered Dongxue to bring the jewelry box on her desk.

Dongxue came back again, holding a brocade box in her hand, and placed it directly in front of Shen Yanmo.

Shen Yanmo pushed the brocade box to Ye Shaofu: "The brocade box is here, but some jewellery is gone." Marrying into the Wuchang Houfu, there is no extra money, and you have to pay people frequently. The jewelry in the brocade box can keep a few kinds of jewelry. That's not bad.

Ye Shaofu thought that the clue was in the brocade box, but he could look for it. The brocade box did not have any hidden mechanism: "Is it because I thought it wrong?" No way, Mr. Shen is very alert and will definitely leave a clue. As for the clue, in the jewelry, he flipped through the jewelry, but he couldn't find the empty place to hide things. Ye Shaofu didn't believe it, and murmured, "It shouldn't be wrong."

If it were him, he would also think of such a method.

Seeing Ye Shaofu inspecting the jewelry, Shen Yanmo reminded again: "Some jewelry is appreciated."

When Ye Shaofu heard the words, the actions in his hand gave him a reward, even if he wanted to come, those minions in the Marquis of Wuchang were against the evil, and it is not easy to keep the brocade box if you don’t see rabbits or scatter eagles. Remember who did you give the jewelry? I let people find it."

Shen Yanmo said the appearance of the jewelry and the names of several people. There are still Wen Wan and Gu Yun, which is a little troublesome. But as long as he knows who is in his hands, he will find a way to get it.

When Ye Shaofu was leaving, he asked Shen Yanmo for the brocade box, saying that he would go back and study it, and return it tomorrow.

Shen Yanmo nodded and agreed. When Ye Shaofu left, Shen Yuanan looked at the figure disappearing on the wall and asked, "Mo'er, can you find out the cause of his father's death?" My father has been dead for many years, and some evidence has been long ago. If it is destroyed, can there be any evidence left?

"Yes." Shen Yanmo replied firmly. For some reason, she believed in Ye Shaofu inexplicably, that he was sincerely helping her, that he would not hurt them, and that he could give his father justice.

After Ye Shaofu hit the ground, he just heard the word'neng', he smiled, looked at the brocade box in his hand, and said as if: "Yun Lang will live up to his wife's expectations."

After returning, Ye Shaofu continued to study the brocade box. He didn't believe that there was nothing. He studied for one night. After all the methods were used, he almost took the brocade box and found nothing.

He looked at the brocade box carefully, not believing that his guess was wrong. There was a pattern on the brocade box. Ye Shaofu scribbled it randomly, and he saw two characters, one for jade and the other for hairpin.

Ye Shaofu opened the brocade box and searched for it, and found a piece of jade pendant, but did not see the hairpin. Combined with Shen Yanmo's description yesterday, there is only one jade pendant and one golden hairpin in this brocade box. The rest are gold step shakes, gold bracelets, gold hairpins, jade hairpins, etc., all appearing in pairs, but the jade pendant and gold hairpin are separate.

The jade pendant is a symbol of Shen Yanmo's status and cannot be given away, while the golden hairpin was given to Wen Wan by her.

In other words, the words on this brocade box refer to jade pendants and golden hairpins. The jade pendant cannot be hollowed out, but the golden hairpin can.

Ye Shaofu concluded that there was something in the golden hairpin, and immediately summoned Lynch in, and ordered: "Go to the Marquis of Wuchang, no matter what method you use, you must get the golden hairpin from his wife, and go back quickly."

Lynch took the order.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Shen Yanmo sent Shen Yuanan away.

Shen Yanmo accepted-Yangyao brother and Rong brother, Shen Yuanan had a lot of complaints about this, but after hearing Shen Yanmo's explanation, he let go, as long as his sister is happy. Parting and exhorting Shen Yanmo to say something before rushing away.

Because the parting came suddenly, the Mid-Autumn Festival in Shen's Mansion was not very enjoyable.

There was something in Shen Yanmo's heart, Ye Shaofu seemed to have forgotten the conversation before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After seeing Ye Shaofu several times, Shen Yanmo wanted to ask if his father's case could be reversed. Seeing that Ye Shaofu's face was as usual, he didn't make any progress, so he didn't say anything in the end.

The bland and busy days are still going on. In order to test Shen Yanmo’s abilities, Dr. Xue gave her a few prescriptions and asked her to make pills, first Chuanbei cough pills, and then she would make Chuanbei cough pills, and then make other precious Of pills.

Shen Yanmo was ecstatic when she got the prescription, thinking that if she learned to make these pills, she would sell them in large quantities, and she would become the world's largest seller of finished pills.

However, how beautiful the ideal is, there will be more faces in reality. She has made pills according to the steps of the prescription. The things that can be made, where are the pills, are obviously a pile of shit, black and sticky, and there is still a problem. Smell the taste, let alone eat it, look at it, and smell it is unappetizing.

Shen Yanmo does not believe in evil, she has a talent for recognizing medicinal materials and has a good memory. Since I went to Zhuangzi, my hands-on ability is also very strong, why can’t I take the Chuanbei cough pills that I made?

She didn't believe it, something must be wrong. Raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his face. Her hands were already black, she touched her face, she could imagine what she looked like on her face, she didn't notice it, she continued to make medicinal materials, and made three pots in a row. The finished product was still unsightly, not too thin. , I can’t knead it into a pill, but it tastes too strange.

When Yuhe and Qiuyue helped Shen Yanmo to fight, they both wanted to hold their breath. In order not to hit her, they resisted the pungent smell.

Some people can't bear it, others can't bear it.

Stone was practicing swords in the courtyard, and he could smell it from a distance. He thought that Yan Qing had cooked the rice. He ran over to comfort Yan Qing, but he saw that Shen Yanmo was making things. It was dark and a bit dark. He looked like **** and quickly asked, "Sister Mo'er, what are you doing?"

Shen Yanmo couldn't help blushing, and poured the dark things into a basin: "My sister is learning to make pills. It's the first time to be a hand-made pill. Just do it a few more times."

"Sister Mo'er should do it a few times less, I'm afraid we will be smoked to death by this unpleasant smell." After Shi said, he ran away, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Shen Yanmo became angered, and while he was making the medicine, he whispered in a low voice: "It is a genius to make it all at once. I am an ordinary person. I will do it a few more times." His hands became busy again.

Yuhe and Dongxue persuaded her twice to keep her from getting angry. The husband just started to do it, and she will always succeed.

Ye Shaofu also came to look for it. Hearing Shen Yanmo's words, he chuckles and laughs: "Can Madam make pills in the house?" He held his nose and approached a few steps, saw the dark things in the basin, and couldn't help frowning: " The smell doesn't spread far in the room, and our neighbors are better." I saw Shen Yanmo's face again, black and white, like a black and white cat, and smiled more unkindly.

Shen Yanmo didn't know, so he glared at him: "Go back to your house and laugh, aren't you afraid that the smell will smell, so you move forward, your head is flooded?"

Upon hearing this, Yuhe and Dongxue looked at Shen Yanmo at the same time and saw that her face was blurred, and at the same time they took out her veil and prepared to wipe her off, but someone was one step ahead of them.

Ye Shaofu wiped Shen Yanmo's face earnestly, and said, "Haste is not enough."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Yanmo stepped back, avoiding his hand. He took the Yuhe veil that was closest to her and wiped his face at random: "I can do it myself."

Ye Shaofu's hand froze in place, and he chuckled: "I'm not an outsider. Is it necessary to avoid me like a snake or scorpion?"

"We are unfamiliar." Shen Yanmo said.

The air instantly condensed, and Ye Shaofu found an excuse to leave at will.

Yuhe and Dongxue also complained about Shen Yanmo, she shouldn't treat Young Master Yun like this.

Ye Shaofu's walk lasted more than ten days without showing up once.

Shen Yanmo didn't care either, and was still immersed in the joy of making pills. More than ten days passed. The pills she made were no longer black and smelly, but exuded the fragrance of medicine, and even her eyes turned brown, and the pills were as beautiful as soybeans. Shen Yanmo cried with joy and shouted with joy, "I finally made it, finally made it."

With this experience, it will be much easier to make pills in the future. She thought it was easy to make pills, but in fact, they were very particular about the heat, the amount of water, and the order of the medicine. Without certain experience, it was difficult to make pills.

Ye Shaofu didn't know when to come to her: "When the pill is made, why are you crying? This is crying with joy. Isn't it just making a pill, what is there to be happy about?"

Shen Yanmo gave him a white look: "You don't understand."

Ye Shaofu smiled, he knew everything, but he didn't argue with her. A person who can't distinguish between medicinal materials can already make pills in less than a year. Not only the talent but the hard work, it is not something ordinary people can do. She did it and persevered, this character is very rare.

"To celebrate your success. On the Double Ninth Festival, I would like to invite you to ascend and look far away. Would you like to?" Ye Shaofu's clear and smiling eyes stared at Shen Yanmo for an instant, not wanting to miss any expression on her face.

"Don't go." Shen Yanmo refused without thinking.

Ye Shaofu seemed to have expected such a few sentences long ago, and he was not angry, but still smiled indifferently: "If you go, I will tell you the secret of the brocade box?"

Shen Yanmo's eyes lit up, staring at him hopefully, and said, "Really?"

The father really left the evidence, but was it found by Ye Shaofu?
