Shen Yunyao was lying on Mrs. Xu's body and sobbing softly. When she saw Han Qiao come in, the tears that were just spinning in her eyes instantly burst into tears.
"Sister Hanqiao, what's going on with my mother? Is she really in trouble?"
Hanqiao was startled by her words, and quickly reached out to cover her mouth, pulled her aside, and lowered her voice: "Young girl, you don't dare to say such things. Madam Jiren has her own destiny, and she will be fine." of."
Shen Yunyao cried and shook her head: "But I heard them all say that my mother is dying, and they also said that my father is ready to marry a new man, and then I will become a motherless child like Shen Tianshu. Already."
Thinking of the bullying Shen Tianshu had suffered at home over the years, Shen Yunyao's tears became even more uncontrollable, and the handkerchief in her hand was soaked with tears.
"Where did you hear these nonsense, girl!" Hanqiao said angrily after hearing the words, "It must be that bad screwdriver who chews his wife's tongue in front of the girl. If I let this slave know who it is, I won't look at her. The skin is peeled off!"
After hearing this, Shen Yunyao's eyes immediately became erratic, and she looked left and right guiltily, but she didn't look directly at Hanqiao.
Hanqiao couldn't help but sigh in her heart. After all, the second girl was already in her teens. She was raised by her wife to be arrogant and domineering, but she was also just a liar. Whenever something happened, she would be useless. All I can do is cry.
Although she thought this in her heart, Hanqiao still had to cheer up and comforted Shen Yunyao: "The evil-hearted people outside just want to see the jokes in our family, or they have their own little plans, so Only then would such words come out.
The girl stays with the madam every day, and she also sees the madam's condition. It's just because of the matter with the young master, so she is a little tired and lacks energy. How can it be so serious?
"As long as Madam can relax and take care of herself, she will get better soon. Therefore, the girl will never dare to say these nonsense again. If Madam hears them, wouldn't it make her feel even more uncomfortable?
"Girl, you should spend more time talking to Madam now and give Madam some peace of mind."
Shen Yunyao choked and nodded in agreement. Under Hanqiao's service, she washed her face, applied facial grease again, put on rouge, and then returned to the inner room.
Fortunately, after the doctor's acupuncture, Xu's high fever gradually subsided and she finally slept peacefully.
Hanqiao had just sent the doctor away when he came back and saw someone else in the room.
Qiyu in Shen Yunyao's room didn't know when she came over. When she saw Hanqiao looking at her, she subconsciously shrank her shoulders and took half a step back.
Hanqiao frowned when he saw this, and then saw Shen Yunyao sitting on the edge of the bed, as if there were nails growing on her buttocks, moving left and right unsteadily, her eyes constantly looking at Hanqiao.
He looked like he was hesitant to speak, so he just had to put four big words on his forehead - Come and ask me.
Hanqiao didn't want to start a fight at first, but she couldn't help but Shen Yunyao got closer and closer, almost to the point where he was right in her face.
She had to ask: "What's the matter with the second girl?"
Shen Yunyao immediately lowered her voice and said: "Sister Hanqiao, do you know that Shen Tianshu and Shen Yunhui will be back soon! And dad is also planning to leave the affairs of the back house to Shen Tianshu!"
Hanqiao was stunned when she heard this. All her thoughts these days were devoted to taking care of Mrs. Xu, and she paid much less attention to other things at home. She had no idea what Shen Yunyao was talking about.
She repeated in a daze: "The eldest girl and the third girl are coming back? When?"
Shen Yunyao saw that her confusion didn't seem to be hypocrisy, that she really didn't know anything about this. She couldn't help but curled her lips and said dissatisfiedly: "You are the maid next to my mother, how come you don't know anything? You are not as well-informed as the people around me!"
Hanqiao glared at Qiyu who was behind Shen Yunyao. She had just been out for a while, so this little hooves must have come to inform Shen Yunyao.
Shen Yunyao continued to express her dissatisfaction.
"My father is really partial. After my mother got sick, he gave Ping Niang the right to take charge of things. Now when she comes back, he rushes to ask her to take charge!"
"I am also his biological daughter, but I am only two years younger than Shen Tianshu. Why didn't he tell me to take care of her?
"Although I am not his first wife's daughter, I am not a spoiler brought over by his step-in-law. But all he can see is Shen Tianshu, and I am redundant..."
While Shen Yunyao was talking endlessly, she might have forgotten that she was still carrying the punishment of being grounded. If Mrs. Xu had not fallen ill, she would have been sent back to her hometown by Shen Zhonglei to learn the rules from Mrs. Shen.
Now it's hard to think about how to take care of and accompany Mr. Xu. I can't think of any priorities all day long, and all I can think about is useless thoughts.
Thinking back to the stupid things Shen Yunyao did years ago, Nian Qiao immediately gave up the idea of saying something heartfelt to her, and finally said: "Girl, the most important thing now is not those, but Mrs. As long as Madam gets better, taking back the rights of the housekeeper is just a matter of words?"
Although it was true to say so, Shen Yunyao was not convinced in her heart.
Especially this time, Shen Tianshu and Shen Yunhui went to Prince Rui's Mansion for a banquet. I don't know what tricks she used to win the favor of Princess Fengrong.
Shen Yunyao felt uncomfortable when she thought about how they might show off in front of her when they came back. She wished they would have some accident on the way and never return to the Shen family again in this life.
Shen Yunyao believed that the reason why Shen Zhonglei handed over the housekeeping power to Shen Tianshu must be because of Princess Fengrong.
"I don't know what crooked tricks that little hooves used to curry favor with the concubine." Shen Yunyao always felt that she was more likable than Shen Tianshu, but she missed this opportunity and let Shen Tianshu win. Taking the lead, the more I thought about it, the more I felt aggrieved for myself, "If my father hadn't refused to let me go out, there's no telling who would be responsible for such a good thing!"
While she was muttering here, she heard the woman from the second gate coming outside to report: "Miss Hanqiao, the master has sent someone to report that the eldest girl and the third girl's chariot has entered the city gate, and they will be here in a while." I can go back to my house."
It’s easy to understand what Shen Zhonglei meant by asking someone to deliver the message.
When the two daughters came back from being away for such a long time, regardless of whether Mrs. Xu was sick or not, according to the rules, they should come to see her first.
But Mrs. Xu is ill now, and her two daughters are not her biological children, so she can't really show off to others with a sickly face and disheveled hair.
Say hello in advance so that your servants can help you freshen up and tidy up.
Shen Yunyao rolled her eyes when she heard the news, and while Hanqiao went back to the room to help Xu wash up, she took Qiyu and slipped out.
