Chapter 49: The Same Story
The sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl was wrapped in a hemp-colored dress and held up a piece of white cloth with the four characters "Orphan Girl Seeking Father" written on it.
She stood alone outside Shen's house, turning a deaf ear to the chatter around her.
Shen Qingyu secretly followed Mrs. Wen and looked at the girl from inside the door.
In terms of appearance, this one is far inferior to Shen Qingjia. She has an oval face and her facial features are not outstanding. She has an ordinary look that you will forget at a glance.
But at this moment, she was standing straight outside the door, standing upright, exuding an intimidating aura for no reason.
Originally, Mrs. Wen ordered someone to invite the girl in, but the girl refused and stubbornly stated that she wanted to see the person who could make the decision.
Wen was impatient and couldn't do anything to drive people away, so she had to go out to see them in person.
The girl looked at Mr. Wen from head to toe and spoke very rudely, "Are you Mrs. Shen? Then do you have the final say in the Shen family?"
Mrs. Wen frowned and didn't respond. Bai Zhi beside her couldn't bear it anymore, "Why are you so rude, girl?"
There was a hint of thorn in the girl's words, "I am born in the countryside, so naturally I am not as good as those of you who grew up in a deep house."
Bai Zhi's eyes widened and she was about to retort, but Mrs. Wen comforted her.
Mrs. Wen smiled gently and said: "Girl, this is not the place to talk outside. Please move aside."
"Farewell, if you have anything to say, just stand outside and say it, then pull it down." The girl threw away the white cloth in her hand. Seeing Mrs. Wen's eyes staring at her, she had a sarcastic smile on her lips, "If Without this, and if some noise is made here, a noble person like you might not come out to see me, right?"
"My stubborn mother named me Qing Fei. It turned out to be Qing Bandit. She said, "My heart is broken and I can't change it." But the word bandit was too unpleasant, so I changed it to the word Fei." As she spoke, she took out a tablet from her baggage and said, "The person on this tablet is my mother."
"As for me! I don't ask the Shen family to recognize me. It's just that my mother has been looking forward to that person to pick her up all her life, but she didn't get her wish until her death. As for me, I had to help her solve this problem."
Mrs. Wen was stunned for a moment, "What does the girl mean...?"
"Let my mother enter the Shen family's ancestral hall. I don't expect anything else."
Not to mention that this girl's mother has no name or status, even if she is now Shenmen's concubine, she still has to go through a lot of trouble to enter the ancestral hall.
Shen Qingyu finally figured it out. Although the two girls yesterday and today used the same banner and claimed to be Shen Bo'an's daughter, their purposes were completely different. The one yesterday wanted to recognize their ancestors and return to the clan, and the one today said it was just for Mother can enter the Shen family's ancestral grave.
The guards patrolling in Shengjing saw so many people gathered here from a distance, and hurried over. Seeing that the person surrounded was Wen, the leader ordered his subordinates to disperse the crowd, raised his hands and asked: "Mrs. Shen, can you Do you need help?"
Wen said calmly: "Don't bother me, we're going in now."
Upon seeing this, the leading guard dispersed the crowd watching the excitement and left. Worried about causing trouble, he ordered his men to keep an eye on the Shen family more in the past two days.
Wen held Shen Qingfei's hand and advised: "I should have fulfilled your filial piety, but firstly, your identity has not been confirmed, and secondly, I can't make up my mind on such a big matter, so I have to make you wait a little longer. "
Shen Qingfei raised her eyebrows, "How long will you wait?"
"Always confirm your identity."
Shen Qingfei was reluctant, "After confirming her identity, can my mother enter the Shen family ancestral hall?"
Mrs. Wen would not lie, and said truthfully: "No, but at least it proves that your mother is indeed from the Shen family."
Shen Qingfei stood dumbly for a moment and then said: "Okay. What do I need to do to confirm my identity?"
Mrs. Wen made an invitation gesture, "Now you can follow me into the mansion."
Shen Qingfei walked in the door with her head held high, even walking in front of Mrs. Wen. Mrs. Wen didn't do anything, but she made Bai Zhi very angry.
If Mrs. Wen hadn't told her to stop talking, she would have started to curse.
Mrs. Wen took Shen Qingfei to see Mrs. Liu and asked her to identify herself.
On the other side, Shen Qingyu saw Mrs. Wen leading someone through the door and quickly turned around and ran back.
When he returned to his own yard, he immediately asked someone to find out what the new guy's story was.
The Shen family now has a simple population. Although they have a lot of servants, they are all servants after all, and their relationship is actually easy to sort out.
The old lady Liu lived alone in a courtyard. Qiaohe was a well-rounded person who could chat with everyone and soon found out the whole story.
She seemed to be a born storyteller, "Girl, what do you think the newcomer said?"
Shen Qingyu cheered: "How did you say that?"
"She said that she originally had a jade pendant, which was said to be a heirloom of the Shen family. The eldest master gave it to her mother as a love token, but it was accidentally lost on the way. There are also many letters, saying that the eldest master wanted to pursue her mother.
Love poems written.”
These, except for the missing jade pendant, are actually two identical stories!
It's really hard to tell.
"Didn't grandma send someone to Wuzhou to inquire about what happened back then?"
Qiaohe shook his head, "Then Wuzhou is more than a thousand miles away from Shengjing. What a trouble! The eldest master is coming to Beijing anyway. Just wait until he doesn't recognize it."
Although that is said, the exact same story is too outrageous. Can things really develop as expected?
Shen Qingyu was frowning in thought, but there was some noise outside, so she casually asked: "What's going on outside?"
Qiaohe went out to check and came back after a while.
"The girl doesn't know that the old lady's yard is very lively now. The two newcomers met each other. One said that the other was a thief and had stolen her jade pendant. The other told the story of stealing her jade pendant.
Recognize your identity. Wouldn’t it cause trouble?”
Liu's courtyard is still quite a long way away from where Shen Qingyu is, and you can hear this, which just shows that this dispute has caused quite a stir.
Shen Qingyu paid attention to the movement. The two were arguing for a while before they regained their composure.
Ruyi interjected: "Is it really possible that I am pretending to be someone else? Which one does the girl think is more authentic?"
Shen Qingyu had no idea, "I don't know, what do you think?"
Qiaohe said: "That Shen Qingjia is more likely. I have never met the eldest master, but people around me said that he was very good-looking when he was young. From this point of view, of course it is because she followed her father that she looked so good-looking.
of."
Ruyi said: "I think Shen Qingfei is more real. If she is fake, how dare she show up like this knowing that the jade pendant is in someone else's hands."
Both of them have their own opinions, both of which are quite reasonable.
Shen Qingyu couldn't figure it out either, so she simply stopped thinking about it and thought about other things.
