The Demon Concubine of God

Chapter 162 Lord Shen really deserves to die!

The maids of the Eighth Miss hurriedly carried their mistress and hurried out of the courtyard of the Seventeenth Young Master of Linchaoju.

As they carried the young lady away, they talked about it, saying, "Our young lady is becoming more and more difficult to serve. Once she gets angry, she won't listen to anyone. The Seventeenth Young Master didn't provoke her, but she ran into his room with a pair of scissors and wanted to stab him. She is used to bullying others..."

Another said, "That's right, why can't we talk it out nicely? No matter how honest and weak the Seventeenth Young Master is, he is still the Eighth Young Lady's brother! She really treats the Seventeenth Young Master as a servant, and she lectures him whenever he doesn't do what she wants. If it was a child, she would have thought she was just being willful, but now that she's grown up, she's going to be taken into the palace as a noble, how can she still be like this?"

One of the maids said, "Stop talking. Let's go back and take a look. She smashed things in someone else's house and fainted from anger. We must ask a doctor to take a good look. Oh, by the way! We should go and tell the Madam about this. Has anyone seen Madam Nie come back? She is the one assigned by the Madam to serve. I think we must explain it to her and ask her to tell the Madam first."

After that, everyone agreed.

A clever little maid said at this time: "Madame Nie went to the Madam's courtyard. I saw that just as Miss Eighth arrived at Linchao Residence, Madame Nie ran out of the Madam's courtyard."

They carried the Eighth Miss back to Xunyu Pavilion, asked a doctor to prescribe some medicine, and after the Eighth Miss took the medicine, she woke up not long after.

The Eighth Miss was feeling dizzy, still thinking about what happened with the Seventeenth Young Master. The maids and servants advised her, "The Eighth Miss was so angry that she fainted. It was obviously you who made yourself faint. It had nothing to do with the Seventeenth Young Master."

"Yes! We all saw it. Miss Eight fainted in excitement... Miss Eight must not get angry again. The doctor said that anger causes women to grow white hair and wrinkles. Some women's hair turned white overnight after fainting from anger. Miss, please don't go to Linchaoju to make trouble again. If you continue like this, you will not be able to enter the palace."

"Yes, yes! Let's not let others delay your entry into the palace. Before entering the palace, you must be virtuous, chaste, virtuous and generous. Only when such virtues are passed on to the palace will the emperor's favor continue."

Look! The maids around the eighth young lady have all become talented writers with witty remarks overnight!

The Eighth Miss was so angry at their persuasion that she wanted to jump up and beat these servants, but her body was too weak to do anything. She only had the strength to struggle and was so tired that she fell back on the bed, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The little maid winked at the big maid and whispered, "Luckily, my sister has some connections outside and got me a pack of top-quality incense to calm my spirits."

As for Shen Wen, after he dealt with the gang of little devils in Xunyu Pavilion, he went to the old marquis' Minggengyuan with ease.

While waiting for notification at the gate of Gengming Courtyard, the beautiful lady Shen Shuyu whom I saw that night also happened to come to the old marquis's courtyard to pay her respects.

Shen Shuyu did not expect to meet Shen Wen at the door. Shen Wen was very polite and courteous. He greeted him first, "It's Brother Seventeen! Did the Marquis call you here at this time? But the Marquis should be busy with government affairs at this time. I'm afraid he can't spare the time to see you."

Shen Wen hurriedly said: "Oh, is that so? Then I came at the wrong time."

Shen Shuyu said, "Seventeenth brother, how come you forgot the daily routine of the Marquis in the past few years since you left home? Every day when the Marquis wakes up, he first sits in meditation for an hour before eating. After eating, he leaves half an incense stick of time for the younger generations to pay their respects. The Marquis also has to practice a set of Five Animals Boxing to train his body, and then he is busy dealing with government affairs. After lunch, he has the habit of taking a break, probably getting up at noon, and then he has to be busy with government affairs for an hour, and rest for half an hour in the evening. If Seventeenth brother goes at this time, he can catch up with the Marquis's free time. He might be able to water the flowers or practice calligraphy or something like that."

Shen Wen just smiled and said, "Is that so? I forgot. Or...what's your name?"

Shen Shuyu was not embarrassed. He smiled gently and said, "My name is Shuyu, with a given name of Luan and a given name of Liuxiang. I am the second child in the family. I have an older brother named Shen Shufeng, with a given name of Lian. I am six years older than you. How about you calling me Second Brother Luan? I feel very close to you, my younger brother. Others just call me by name. Some call me Cousin Yu, and some call me Cousin Lianhuajiang. My hometown is Lianhuajiang, Nanhang."

Shen Wen called out, "Second Brother Luan."

When the two talked about this, Shen, the housekeeper who had gone inside to report, came out and said to Shen Wen, "Seventeenth Master, it's unfortunate that the Marquis is discussing government affairs with his colleagues right now and can't be with him for the time being. Why don't you go back first and come back in the evening? The Marquis will have time to see you."

Shen Wen said, "Okay, I'll come back in the evening."

Seeing the butler turning around to go back, Shen Wen stopped him and asked, "Butler Shen, do you know why my grandfather asked me to come here?"

Butler Shen smiled and said, "No! Maybe the Marquis hasn't seen the young master for a long time. You forgot that you would get up early seven or eight days in the past ten days to pay your respects to the Marquis."

Shen Wen suddenly realized, "Is that so! Since you don't have anything urgent to ask me, I feel relieved."

After Butler Shen went back, Shen Shuyu said, "Seventeenth Brother, would you please come and sit with me? Well, if Seventeenth Brother has other things to do, forget it."

Shen Wen said: "No, since Brother Luan invited me, I have no choice but to bother you."

As a result, Shen Wen followed Shen Shuyu to where he was temporarily staying in the Shen Mansion.

Shen Wen thought that place was the small Taoist temple he followed last time.

"Qiantu Xiaoyu? So Brother Luan lived here? Brother Luan, do you know who lived in this small room in the study in our mansion?"

Shen Wen pointed to the main study room and a horizontal plaque on a small room in the east.

Shen Shuyu nodded and smiled, "I know. In the past, the Marquis and his sworn brother were very close. The two of them often drank and talked all night in this study. This small corner was designed to be a place for the Marquis and his sworn brother to sleep side by side."

Shen Wen raised his eyebrows. He really didn't expect that the Marquis would say so much to Shen Shuyu.

When the two of them entered, a little maid about ten years old came in and served them tea.

Shen Wen looked around this exquisite little house. Although it was a little small, it had everything you need. Some of the things in it were even... unique, compared to what the young masters in the mansion had.

For example, the curtains made of silk and gold brocade, because they are autumn fragrance color, are matched with the red carved arch partition. Most people will take a look, but it is difficult to tell how precious this piece of cloth is. Shen Wen's predecessor left him a lot of experience. This cloth was in the capital a year ago. One piece of it was exchanged for a shop in the best location in the capital.

There is also a set of fat hollow candles that came from the sea. It is said that the real fat candles are made of mermaid corpse oil. If you are not from a noble family in the court, how can you understand this? Only the Jiguogong Mansion, a century-old family with richer assets than the prince's mansion, can come into contact with it. Unfortunately, Shen Wen has seen it.

A set of ebony chessboard and chess pieces is quite common, but what makes it rare is that there is a word "Luo" engraved on one corner of the chessboard. This is the only set left by the peerless chess god who has lived for hundreds of years.

There are also pens, inkstones, and inkstones...

Shen Wen pointed at the paper weighed down by the ruler and said, "This paper is quite good. The gold-plated white scattered flower paper made by Yang family in Jiangnan is not as good as this. I wonder where this paper comes from?"

Shen Shuyu was stunned by the question. He said awkwardly, "This is not paper. This is silk that was just produced this year. The material looks like paper."

Shen Wen touched it curiously, then smiled in surprise: "It really is silk, I was mistaken."

Shen Shuyu said, "Seventeenth brother, don't even think about it. The things in this room are all for the Marquis' sworn brothers. I'm just staying here temporarily, just to appreciate them when I have nothing to do."

Shen Wen had a slight smile on his face, but now his expression gradually turned cold.

He did not expose him, because he was lying. The sworn brother was a disciple of the immortal sect of Hulu Mountain in Qianshan Peak. The Taoists there had rules and regulations. Even wearing a silk robe was against the ancestral teachings of the sect. Besides, even if the Marquis was very close to this Taoist priest, he would not give him these worldly things. Wouldn't it be more to please him by giving him rare copies of the immortal sect's secret books and scriptures?

Shen Wen pointed at the scripture copied on the silk and said, "Brother Luan's hairpin-flowered small calligraphy is quite good! It has the charm of a marquis, and is much better than the beauties and talented men in the capital."

Brother Luan's expression changed several times and he smiled: "No... No..."

Shen Shuyu sorted out the half-copied scripture silk.

He carefully touched the words on it, with a nostalgic look in his eyes, and said in a particularly magnetic and gentle voice: "The Marquis had a serious illness at the beginning of this year, and he developed the habit of copying scriptures. I copied a few chapters of scriptures for the Marquis in order to share some of his hard work."

When Shen Wen heard this, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Her breathing became short and she couldn't stay in the room any longer. She said unbearably, "This room is too stuffy. I'd better go out and get some fresh air."

He left in such a hurry.

She ran to the yard and stood still, breathing a few breaths of fresh air. She turned around and saw Shen Shuyu chasing after her. She asked, "Does Second Brother Luan have a good impression of me?"

Shen Shuyu said: "Of course they are very close."

Shen Wen said: "Me too!"

Then he made an excuse that he had something to do and left.

It is true that the air in Shen Wenjue's room is bad.

Because there were four or five kinds of Chinese medicinal herbs hidden in that room. Regardless of which ones they were, the smell of the Chinese medicinal herbs was mixed with cinnabar, sulfur, etc., so they should be elixirs.

There are other details.

Shen Shuyu had the smell of elixir on him, and Lord Shen also had the same elixir on him.

And Shen Shuyu has a sickly complexion, and his actions sometimes reveal... a zero-sex masculine personality.

Shen Wen looked up at the sky and sighed!

Ugh!

Lord Shen really deserves to die!
