Reborn in Dunhuang, I am farming and doing business in the desert

Chapter 7 Shameless

This winter coat is large and thick. I don’t know what is filled inside, but it feels extremely soft and warm, and it doesn’t prick me.

Shen Zhao picked out some and found a pink top with a hood at the collar.

I put on my cotton coat and zipped it up like the people in the mirror world, and I immediately felt warm all over.

She walked a few steps in the room, compared it left and right, and then reluctantly took it off.

I checked the clothes in the package again and found four tops and a pair of thick pants in different colors.

However, these winter clothes are all women's styles, because the women in the mirror are all wearing this style.

While trying on clothes one by one, I suddenly heard a girl's voice coming from outside:
"Shen Zhao! Come out!"

Shen Zhao frowned, took off his clothes and put them in his bag.

Then he carried the bag to the corner, picked up a quilt from the wooden couch and covered it with it, then walked out.

A girl of about twelve or thirteen was crying out to her, her face covered in tears: "Shen Zhao! How did my brother let you down? Are you going to break off the engagement at this time?"

Shen Zhao stood in the porch and stared at her coldly: "You can go ask your brother, why are you asking me?"

This girl was Qin Yi's biological sister, Qin Shu, and he had suffered a lot from her in the past.

Qin Shu, who returned to the capital in her previous life, was even more arrogant than her mother Yang. She often ridiculed her sister-in-law in front of guests, saying that she was born a northwestern barbarian and was not presentable.

"I want to hear it from your own mouth!" Qin Shu wiped away her tears and said arrogantly, "You, the Shen family, are bullying others by taking advantage of your power. You broke off the engagement right after receiving the betrothal gifts. Are you deliberately trying to cheat on me?"

"Marriage fraud? What did you cheat your family of?" Zhang Shanyue came out of the kitchen, holding a wooden spoon in his hand, and pointed at Qin Shu and shouted:

"The betrothal gift your Qin family sent was just a piece of scarlet coarse cloth and two hundred coins, but my family gave me two pieces of blue cloth and two hundred coins in return. Who was cheating whom?"

Qin Shu was speechless, but still stiffened his neck and said, "My family didn't break off the engagement with you. My brother just said a few more words to Sister Lingyao, but you refused to give in and even beat him up. Isn't this bullying?"

Shen Zhao was almost amused by her nonsense. He stepped forward and said, "Get out of my house with your stupid face! Your brother knows what he did, why do you have to be the first to do this?

From now on, there is no relationship between our two families. You go your way, and I go mine. If you come to my house and talk nonsense again, I'll whip you!"

Shen Zhao picked up the broom against the wall and pointed it at Qin Shu without hesitation: "Do you want to leave by yourself now, or do you want me to drive you away with the broom?"

It was the first time that Qin Shu saw Shen Zhao so arrogant and unreasonable, and he was stunned for a moment.

That's not right? Didn't Shen Zhao like his brother very much? Why did he suddenly change his mind?
Besides, it wasn't her brother who pushed her down, so why did she blame all the faults on the Qin family?

"You are not Shen Zhao!" Qin Shu retreated to the outside of the yard and shouted loudly: "You must have been possessed by an evil spirit!"

Zhang Shanyue was furious when she heard this. She immediately rushed over and slapped her hard on the face: "I think you are the evil one! Both you and your brother are evil! You are so vicious at such a young age. How dare you curse my son? Who gave you the courage?"

After all, my husband is the local headman. Who among the neighbors would not be disrespectful and flatter him when they see him?

The daughter of a criminal dares to come and provoke me. She is so bold!

Qin Shu was slapped in the face and burst into tears, then turned around and ran back.

"Bah! I never realized that the Qin family is so shameless! They let their little daughter come to our house to make trouble."

Zhang Shanyue snorted angrily, "The Yang family keeps saying that they are descendants of a famous family. So are all famous families as shameless as them?

It is really eye-opening to see that people do not repent for their mistakes but blame others for not forgiving them. "

Shen Zhao hugged A Niang's arm and said, "What kind of famous family is the Qin family? His ancestors were just horse slaves of an aristocratic family. Later, they escaped slavery through military merit."

"How do you know?" Zhang Shanyue turned to look at her daughter. Shen Zhao was stunned for a moment, and immediately lied: "Qin Yi said it himself."

Zhang Shanyue believed it and took her daughter to the kitchen.

The kitchen is still steaming dough cakes and a large pot of bean rice, and they must not be burnt.

After making the mixed noodles as the staple food, it was also necessary to prepare some side dishes. Zhang Shanyue took down two salted fish hanging from the roof beams and stewed them in a pot with sunflowers and leeks grown at home.

While chopping salted fish, Zhang Shanyue sighed: "When the Qin family came to propose marriage, your father and I thought it was a good match. Qin Yi is good at both literature and martial arts, and his character is also acceptable.

At home, he is filial to his mother, uncle and aunt, and friendly to his brothers and sisters. Even when he goes out, he is humble and polite to others. He is also more handsome than other boys. As long as you marry him, your life will definitely get better and better. "

She glanced at her daughter and said quietly, "Who would have thought that this boy would flirt with other girls and not know how to take care of you? Sigh! It really proves the saying that a flawless jade has its own flaws, and no one is perfect."

Shen Zhao was sorting the leeks without saying anything.

In her previous life, she didn't know Qin Yi's character clearly.

After being married to him for several years, Shen Zhao believed that she had done her best to be a good daughter-in-law of the Qin family. She was filial to her mother-in-law, caring for her younger siblings, and taking care of the family's food and daily life.

In the first few years after returning to the capital, the Qin family often had more expenses than income, and the mother-in-law, Yang, would even count every grain of rice for her meals.

It was because he went out to resell items from the Western Regions and used the money he earned for daily expenses that the Qin family's life gradually stabilized.

Later, Qin Yi became the Minister of Justice, and the Qin family officially entered the circle of nobles.

But at that time, I became a wild and ignorant woman in the eyes of my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, who was not worthy of the Qin family.

I remember that Qin Yi treated me very coldly at that time, and even denied in front of her that the Shen family had ever helped him.

Shen Zhao didn't care about these things. After all, he had already planned to divorce him and return to the northwest.

Unexpectedly, King Yi soon rebelled. After the rebellion was suppressed, all the men in his family were executed, even the baby was not spared.

All the women in Prince Yi's mansion were sent to the palace as slaves.

However, Xue Lingyao, the concubine of Prince Yi, was found to be pregnant and was taken to the Tingwei Prison to abort the baby.

Shen Zhao never expected that Qin Yi would be so crazy that he would drug his wife and send her to prison to take the place of Xue Lingyao. He also had someone cut off her tongue to prevent her from talking nonsense in prison.

Just because she happened to be pregnant and looked similar to Xue Lingyao, she became the perfect scapegoat.

But she was not released from prison after the abortion. Instead, she was treated like an animal and her tendons were cut and she was abandoned in a dark and smelly dungeon.

Whenever she thought of this, a strong hatred surged in her heart, and she wanted to kill the couple immediately.

I remember that when she was imprisoned in the dungeon, Qin Yi actually brought Xue Lingyao to see her and said a few hypocritical words of comfort to her through the bars.

At that time, I didn't even have the strength to get up and spit at him. I could only watch the two of them act out.

Xue Lingyao smiled and told herself that the baby in her belly had been born, a son, who was raised well in the Qin Mansion, and both her mother-in-law and Qin Yi loved him very much.

Thinking of this, Shen Zhao took a deep breath and slowly calmed down the anger in his heart.

If she hadn't been sane, she would have really wanted to rush to the Qin family with a knife and chop the beast to death.

Well, there is no rush for revenge. We need to take a long-term view and do it slowly and steadily.

The most important thing right now is to change the eldest brother's misfortune.
