Chapter 95 Shooting yourself in the foot
  Compared with the happiness in Shen Zhuoxi's yard, the atmosphere in Shen Jingya and Han Xiangru's resting place was solemn.
  "You have been learning Go for a long time, why did you only get seventh place?" Han Xiangru was not satisfied: "Don't say first, the second and third ones from the head office. The eldest lady made a fool of herself, Shen Zhuoxi benefited, and even the fourth lady Let’s all drink the soup.”
  "Mom, stop talking." Shen Jingya interrupted: "I also think first. When I sit there, I think about Shen Zhuoxi's calligraphy, painting and poetry, and I can't calm down at all."
  "Tell me, where did she get all those skills?"
  Han Xiangru also found it strange: "It stands to reason that she has been locked up in the house for many years. She can read because of Aunt Ju, but there is no one to teach her how to paint. A single sentence about Princess Xiaoqing's ability cannot explain the problem."
  "Isn't she the Shen Zhuoxi we know?"
  "Who is it if it's not Shen Zhuoxi?" Shen Jingya pushed the teacup in her hand aside irritably, and said, "The pink scar on her face is still there, it was the scar I gave her."
  "Is it possible..." Han Xiangru looked around and said, "Possessed by a demon?"
  "Mom, can you tell me something reliable?" Shen Jingya became more and more impatient. She rolled her eyes at Han Xiangru and said, "Why didn't you do what I asked you to do?"
  "There are some problems with your uncle's business." Han Xiangru lowered her voice a little: "The money cannot be transferred last week. The money sent must be given to the Taishi Mansion as a filial piety. We can't get too much money for the time being."
  "After this period of time has passed, it will be fine to get the money back."
  "I can't wait any longer. If things happen by then, there will be no situation like today." Shen Jingya said, changing the topic: "How about Wu Yong?"
  "We're ready, all the money and everything is in place." Han Xiangru paused and was quite worried: "But, will this matter involve you?"
  "I always feel that Yu Qinglian gave you those medicines intentionally or unintentionally, so that you could bear them after something happens."
  "I begged my mother to give me the medicine. It has nothing to do with her." Shen Jingya was worried and said, "I'm going to see Wu Yong. I won't be free later."
  Wu Yong followed Mrs. Wu without saying a word.
  A pair of eyes quietly lingered on the rich lady, looking at this and that, her eyes were full of beauty when she was suddenly called away, somewhat reluctantly.
  "Master Wu." Shen Jingya invited people to the rockery at the end of Zhuangzi and said straight to the point: "Do you know what to do at night?"
  "Your maid has told me." Wu Yong looked at Shen Jingya from top to bottom with his squinting eyes, and nodded: "Such a beauty, but her heart is poisonous, but I like her, the more poisonous she is, the more poisonous she is. interesting."
  "What are you talking nonsense about?" Shen Jingya didn't like the look in his eyes very much and scolded: "You are only worthy of that little bitch Shen Zhuoxi, don't miss me."
  "Tsk, tsk, wouldn't it be better for a person like me to be paired with someone who is cruel and ruthless?" Wu Yong still took advantage: "How about I marry the second lady and then take you as my concubine?"
  "What a beautiful idea." Shen Jingya rolled her eyes at him, not wanting to stay for a moment longer, and handed him a packet of powder and warned, "I will lead her into the house when the time comes."
  "Then you quickly give her some medicinal powder. This kind of medicinal powder has no solution. I will bring someone over after half the time. You can take care of it yourself."
  Wu Yong took the powder and accidentally wiped it on Shen Jingya's hand.
  Shen Jingya retracted her hand like a fly, and rubbed it with the handkerchief: "Put your thoughts away, be careful that I will be ruined by you!"
  Wu Yong twirled his fingers and said: "What are you doing fiercely? From now on, we are a family, sister-in-law, what do you think?"
  "Get lost, don't let anyone see you." Shen Jingya took a step back and ran away in a panic.
  Wu Yong looked at her back and left.
  They didn't ask in advance, and naturally they didn't know that behind the remote rockery was the courtyard where Shen Zhuoxi rested.
  When Wei Zhiting came out with Wang Yurou and Princess Yuqin, he happened to see the two of them meeting furtively.
  But they were a bit far away, and the two didn't notice the people here. They didn't hear what they said, they only saw some movements.
  "Is this the third young lady of the Shen family?" Princess Yuqin sneered: "There are four young ladies in the family, and the second young lady has just regained consciousness and is considered normal. The others are all disgraceful."
  "Don't say that." Wei Zhiting frowned and said, "After all, the second young lady is also from the Shen family."
  "The princess is right." Wang Yurou said in a low voice: "What a sin it is to have a private meeting with a man. Do you want to expose it?"
  "Revealing for what?" Wei Zhiting didn't want to meddle in other people's business, and said, "Don't do our business, go back and rest in peace, and prepare for the afternoon horseback shooting."
  A few people didn't take this matter to heart. Shen Jingya was a concubine, and whether she succeeded or not, she was destined to be a concubine.
  After a lunch break, everyone gathered in the hall again.
  The prince announced that a team of two would ride and shoot. The one with more prey would win, no matter how big or small.
  As soon as the words came out, the Eighth Princess said: "Brother Prince, this rule seems a bit unfair. More wins. How can a pheasant be compared with a wild deer?"
  "Yes." Ninth Princess also said: "A deer or other big beast is worth many pheasants and sparrows."
  "The people participating today are either rich or noble, and they are all rich ladies." The prince paused and said: "To avoid injury, there are no large animals in the back mountain hunting, only rabbits, foxes, goats, birds and the like."
  "In this way, quantity naturally wins."
  The afternoon sun was very strong, and although there was shade in the forest, the heat did not diminish. I was sweating even while sitting, and all the princesses expressed their intention not to take part in the holiday.
  After the princesses made the beginning, several rich ladies also backed down. It was hard for Jingye to say anything, let alone to restrain them in other ways. It was up to everyone's own wishes.
  She didn't force it, and Shen Zhuoxi didn't go either. On such a hot day, she didn't want to go hunting with others and get covered in stinky sweat.
  Others ate chilled fruits and chatted in groups of twos and threes, and some followed to watch the fun.
  Wei Zhiting didn't participate either, and she and Shen Zhuoxi chatted about interesting things in Shengdu.
  Considering that women's physical strength is not as good as men's, the riding and shooting time is not long.
  In the end, Princess Yuqin won the championship of riding and shooting, Wang Yurou came in second, and Shen Jingya came in third, but she twisted her foot when she dismounted and couldn't walk very smoothly.
  Zhuangzi set up a place for the ladies to wash up. After an hour's rest, there was a dinner party.
  Shen Zhuoxi was still sitting with Wei Zhiting and the others. As soon as they sat down, Wang Yurou rubbed her legs and said, "I'm so tired. How much food can I still eat after this lap?"
  "It's really tiring. The back mountain is all uphill, so hunting is not easy." Princess Yuqin also complained in a low voice: "I wonder what the prince did when he joined the riding and shooting team."
  "I guess it's not the prince's intention. Someone must have suggested it." Wang Yurou sighed: "I hope I can watch the singing and dancing and listen to the songs in peace, but I can't show anything."
  Shen Zhuoxi listened but smiled and said nothing.
  She knew why the prince went to such trouble.
  Either Shen Heshan came up with the idea, or Shen Xinyu came up with the idea, or Shen Xinyu gave Shen Heshan the idea, and Shen Heshan told the prince.
  It was the first time for the Prince to host the event, and what he wanted was to be different and interesting.
  In short, no matter what happened, it was all aimed at her.
  It's a pity that Shen Xinyu shot himself in the foot. He didn't expect that he failed at the beginning and naturally couldn't continue later.
  However, not knowing what else was going on at the dinner, Shen Zhuoxi glanced in Shen Jingya's direction.
