First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 561 You Say Forget It?
"Mother, do you feel better?" The room was filled with a strong fragrance of medicine. Song Zixi sat aside and asked the woman who was half leaning on the bed with concern.

Shen shi finished drinking the medicine in a slow manner, and gave a faint "hmm", "Where did you come from?"

"I just went to see my fourth brother." Song Zixi took the bowl of medicine that Shen had finished drinking and put it on the table next to him while talking, "My son saw that the fourth brother has improved a lot these days, so I just told my son about it." A few words..."

Mrs. Shen took the tea from Nanny Zhou and rinsed her mouth, "I'm not feeling well these days, and it's inconvenient to go and see him... Are the people around him obedient?"

Song Zixi paused for a moment, glanced at Nanny Zhou who was serving at the side, and said softly, "Mother, don't worry, they know the seriousness and don't dare to talk nonsense in front of fourth brother..."

Mrs. Shen nodded slightly, and raised her head to wink at Nanny Zhou.

The latter understood, hurriedly blessed the two, and led the girl back out quietly.

Only then did Shen shi speak slowly, "This time about Fu shi, you did pretty well."

Song Zixi's face turned pale, and he unconsciously clenched his lower lip.

Shen frowned coldly, "No wonder your eldest brother has always looked down on Fu... He is really a fool who can't stand on the wall, and he can't even subdue a five or six-year-old child... Such a waste, It's cheap for her to die now!"

As she spoke, she glanced coldly at the silent Song Zixi, and said coolly, "What? Are you very sad that that bitch died?"

Song Zixi felt a numbness behind him, quickly shook his head and said, "No. My son is just... just..."

Seeing Ai Ai's cowardly expression that hesitated to speak, Shen couldn't help but feel more and more disgusted, and interrupted impatiently, "It's just what! This is what we discussed early in the morning—but if Mrs. Fu shows any signs of weakness, Their masters and servants must be eradicated." She paused, narrowed her eyes dangerously, and said coldly, "You are so reluctant now, could it be that you and her still—"

"Absolutely not!" Song Zixi knelt on the ground anxiously, "Ever since my mother found out that time... my son has already reined in the precipice and cut off his cousin Fu!" The son just feels... that he treats his cousin like this, and is really ashamed of his dead aunt and uncle..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Shi laughed disapprovingly, "Why are there few people who are ashamed of you?" She mocked, "If you really don't want to be ashamed of anyone, you shouldn't have messed with Fu Shi in the first place. Together. Now that you have done such unethical things, now you say you owe this, you owe that, and then you make such a guilty and sad look, don't you think you are too hypocritical?"

Song Zixi's handsome face was scorched by Shen's words, and after a few breaths of silence, he said in a low voice, "Mother taught me a lesson..."

Mrs. Shen snorted coldly, "That idiot Mrs. Fu can't do harm to anyone, and Brother Mo ran into her with his own eyes. If she doesn't die, we should be the ones who die now!" She couldn't help thinking, and blamed, " You are the same, since you want people to create the illusion that her close girl committed suicide, why are you so careless, and let that little bastard see the clue..."

Song Zixi was silent for a moment, then considered, "Son, I don't know which link went wrong, but I made my elder brother see that Guanqin was hanged to death instead of hanging himself... Maybe it's because my elder brother has tried countless cases over the years, and he has already practiced a pair of skills." With sharp eyes, you can check what others can't."

He glanced up at the thoughtful Shen, and continued hesitantly, "Maybe, he made up these things on purpose—just imagine if the eldest brother really has evidence to prove that Guanqin was murdered instead of committing suicide, how can he do that?" Would you just let it go so easily?" He paused, then said softly, "I'm afraid...if the truth is found out, it will make grandma angry, and it's true that father and mother are separated."

Thinking of the humiliation and scolding she received that day... Shen's eyes darkened suddenly, and she gritted her teeth and said, "That little bastard is always cunning, so I don't know if he deliberately deceived me." After thinking about it, she said seriously, "You will deal with anyone who does it. Alright? Don’t ask your elder brother to find it.”

Song Zixi nodded, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, mother, people have already been sent far away... Eldest brother will never be found in this lifetime."

Mrs. Shen nodded slightly, calmed down, and helped Song Zixi up with her own hands, "Don't blame your mother for asking and blaming you...Now that your brother has become like this, you are the only one mother can rely on." She sighed and said earnestly , "Mother knows that you are a soft-hearted child, but you also need to know: since you and Mrs. Fu... there is no turning back—with your elder brother's temper, how can you tolerate others touching his woman?" ? Now only if we mother and son work together to pull him down from that position, will we have a good life for our mothers in the future."

Hearing her words, Song Zixi was still unwilling to give up, and couldn't help persuading in a low voice, "This time Mrs. Fu's failure has already caused you to be criticized by your grandmother and father, even the elder brother, now also put Fengqing Court Keep it like an iron bucket... Mom, or let's forget it..."

"Forget it?" Shen raised her eyebrows, and said with a sneer, "Your younger brother is disabled, Mrs. Fu is dead, and your elder brother treats me like a thorn in my side...you say forget it?"

Song Zixi opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

Seeing his incompetence, Shen knew that she was forcing him to take part in the murder of Sister Guan this time - even though he was only hiding in the dark, and if necessary, he would take care of Fu's aftermath, it was enough to scare him out of his wits. He became more and more disgusted with this cowardly stepson, but he tried his best to calmly say on the face, "Mother knows that this is the first time you have done such a thing, so it is inevitable to be afraid...don't worry about the rest of the matter, I will take care of myself." Ask him gently, "I heard that the job your father arranged for you has a clue?"

Song Zixi nodded, "Father found a job for his son as a landlord in the household department, and he will take up the post next month."

Mrs. Shen nodded slightly, "Do it well... It's also your father's son, why should your elder brother be able to stand out, and anyone who sees him will praise him, 'Young phoenix is ​​as clear as the voice of an old phoenix', and you will have to cringe for the rest of your life , Hiding behind him and only running around the ledger? Remember to me: You can have everything he can have, and you can have things he doesn’t have.”

Seeing that Song Zixi opened his mouth and wanted to speak, Shen waved his hands in a disinterested manner, "I'm tired, you go down first... Go back and think about what I said."

"Should I be an eagle flying in the sky, or be a worm crawling on the ground, think it through before you talk to me."

Song Zixi pursed his lips awkwardly, and said respectfully, "Yes, mother, take a good rest... My son will retire."
