The daily life of a concubine's daughter

Chapter 266 Virtual and Real

Outside the window, there were lightning and thunder, a thunderstorm, strong winds, and the window shutters rustling.

The cold wind blew on Shi Mingzhu, making her shudder from the bottom of her heart.

Shi Yao: “Let go!”

Shi Mingzhu didn't know whether it was out of fear or out of long-suppressed grief and anger, but she couldn't help but burst into tears: "Let's chop together, let's die together!

Shi Yao, I tell you, I will never let you go even if I die! It was you, it must be you and your system that ruined my originally beautiful life!

You have ruined my life, let us die together! If there is an afterlife, I will never be merciful again, I will kill you the first time I see you!"

Shi Yao was held in the arms peacefully, totally oblivious to what Shi Mingzhu said. She thought happily: Big sister, can I borrow your aura as the heroine?

Sure enough, the heroine's halo was very effective. The lightning seemed to be right outside the window, but it didn't strike in, as if it was hesitating whether to break through the window.

Shi Mingzhu was a ghost in her previous life and was most afraid of thunder and lightning. She was almost scared to death and trembled into a ball, screaming "Ahhh", "Shi Yao", "Zhou Shao".

Calling them "Shi Yao" and "Zhou Shao" was out of hatred, and he would not let them go even if he became a ghost.

The person she wanted to call most was "Zhou Xu".

In her previous life, it was always the Fifth Prince Zhou Xu who accompanied her during thunderstorms.

But he still had a trace of rationality left, and every time the word "Zhou Xu" came to his lips, he swallowed it back.

With a crash, the door of the box was pushed open from the outside.

"Zhuzhu! Zhuzhu!"

Zhou Shao rushed in, holding a lantern in his hand. The light of the lantern was shaking and swaying. He walked around the screen and saw Shi Yao and Shi Mingzhu hugging each other tightly.

Zhou Shao's feet were nailed to the spot, not knowing whether to take a step forward or back.

"Zhuzhu..."

According to rumors, Zhuzhu and her second sister don’t get along well?

Could it be that they were really not acting just now?

Shi Yao hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law, my elder sister has been afraid of thunder since she was a child, please bear with me. Big sister, big sister, my brother-in-law is coming, woo woo woo, my brother-in-law is finally here, don't be afraid!"

The eunuchs and palace maids followed, and a young eunuch hurried to close the window.

When Zhou Shao heard the word "brother-in-law", he felt relaxed both physically and mentally. He immediately stopped worrying about Shi Yao hugging his lover. He handed the lantern in his hand to the palace maid, took a few steps forward, and pulled Shi Mingzhu off Shi Yao.

Shi Yao touched and rubbed her red eyes, tears in her eyes, and let go reluctantly.

Fortunately, the thunder and lightning outside are not as strong now.

God won’t strike her down, right?

Next time, she really won’t dare to do it.

Shi Mingzhu was also reluctant to leave and refused to separate from Shi Yao, let alone throw herself into Zhou Shao's arms.

She still had many questions to ask Shi Yao.

Shi Yao hadn't told her what she had summoned yet. Did she have a system?

Shi Mingzhu vaguely felt that Shi Yao should have a system that controlled people's rebirth.

But she didn't want Shi Yao to really have it.

The reason she asked about her guess today was that she hoped Shi Yao would firmly reject her guess.

However, Shi Yao did not do so. The confusion between reality and illusion made it difficult for her to see the truth.

Zhou Shao picked up Shi Mingzhu, whose legs were weak and unable to stand, and said anxiously, "Zhuzhu, I'll take you to the side room to rest. Second Miss Shi, I've booked the teahouse, please make yourself at home."

Shi Yao saw Aunt Liu Hua looking at her, and she jumped up from the stool reflexively. Her headache was gone, and her heart was no longer tired. She squatted down and bowed, "Thank you, Your Highness!"

Shi Mingzhu climbed over Zhou Shao's arm, tilted her head back, and shouted at the top of her lungs: "Shi Yao, tell me, tell me the truth, I want to know the truth——"

Shi Yao suddenly had an idea, and said mournfully, "Okay, big sister, I'll tell you, big aunt... um, big aunt led the ladies and daughters who were visiting the mansion to the back house on the day of the old master's birthday to capture, capture the Fourth Prince, and the truth was revealed. The old master found out the truth, so, he expelled big aunt from the Duke's Mansion and sent her to the family temple for cultivation!

Woo, big sister, I didn’t hide it from you on purpose. I was just afraid that you would worry and fall out with the Fourth Prince! This matter, if you trace it back to the root, is actually not the Fourth Prince’s fault. You must not blame the Fourth Prince… Woo…”

Shi Mingzhu couldn't bear to see Shi Yao's teasing behavior, but she couldn't care less at this moment. She said angrily, "You are talking nonsense! How is it possible? My mother is the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo, who was conferred the title by His Majesty himself. How dare the old man..."

Shi Yao cried, "But the old master was also the Duke of Zhenguo who was conferred by His Majesty... Woo, big sister, if you don't believe me, just ask the Fourth Prince. This matter is known to everyone in the capital, but you don't know it, so I am shocked... Woo, woo..."

Shi Yao covered her face with a handkerchief and cried. When she saw that the thunder outside the window had stopped, she felt a little relieved.

It seems that God has let her off again.

Shi Mingzhu grabbed Zhou Shao by the collar, crying and asking, "Your Highness, my husband, Shi Yao lied to me, right? My mother couldn't be banished to the ancestral temple, right?"

Zhou Shao was annoyed at Shi Yao's outspokenness, but he also knew that Shi Mingzhu was the eldest sister, and if she asked seriously, Shi Yao would not dare to refuse to answer, so it was really not Shi Yao's fault.

"Zhuzhu, although it is not convenient for me to interfere in the family affairs of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion and I cannot force your mother to return to the capital, I can accompany you to visit the Duke's wife.

There must be some misunderstanding. Tomorrow, I will personally check with the Duke of Zhenguo. In my heart, your mother is my only mother-in-law."

Jiang Miao stood outside the door with his head down, not daring to look up. When he heard Zhou Shao's last words, he was stunned and his expression froze.

I never thought that King Cheng was so foolish and could be easily bewitched by beauty.

I wonder which unlucky girl will marry King Cheng as his principal wife in the future.

Favoring a concubine and neglecting one's wife is a taboo, whether among the common people or among officials and royal families.

In the inner room, Shi Yao was touched and said, "Brother-in-law, you are so good to me! I only envy the mandarin ducks and not the immortals, and I am talking about you two!"

Shi Mingzhu was disheartened. The old man's attitude said it all. The Shi family would no longer be a help to her. She was stunned, and suddenly, her beautiful eyes lost their luster.

Zhou Shao was secretly proud. He weighed the beauty in his arms as if he was holding a precious trophy, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from everyone's sight with Shi Mingzhu in his arms.

Aunt Liu Hua glared at Shi Yao secretly: Girl, you can't control your mouth again!

He took another look at the snacks on the table and glared at Shi Yao: Girl, you can't control your mouth again!

Shi Yao smiled awkwardly and shouted outside, "Cousin, come and listen to the sound of rain with me!"

Jiang Miao walked in with a folding fan in his hand, shook his head and said with a smile: "You are in a good mood."

The maids and servants lit the lamps. Shi Yao asked Muxiang to open the window and invited Jiang Miao to sit with her by the window, drinking tea and eating fruit while watching the rain.

However, they accidentally looked up and saw a tall and straight figure standing in the teahouse opposite.

By chance, a flash of lightning broke through the dark sky, illuminating the man's face.

Across the street, the two could clearly see the sadness and sorrow on the man's face, and his eyes looked as if he was about to cry.

In just a few seconds, the man turned quickly and disappeared into the darkness.

Jiang Miao was startled: "Isn't that the Fifth Prince? Why is he here?"
