Shen Yunhui was originally a little afraid of Shen Yunyao because she was kidnapped by thieves years ago. Seeing her furious look at this moment, she was even more frightened and grabbed Shen Tianshu's hand tightly, clinging to her side. , wishing she could hide herself behind her so that Shen Yunyao wouldn't see her.
Shen Yunyao became even more angry when she saw it, and said angrily: "Shen Yunhui, I thought you were honest, but I have misjudged you for so many years. You are really skillful in doing this thing of bullying others. !”
Shen Yunhui's whole body was trembling, not only because she was afraid of Shen Yunyao, but also because she was worried that Shen Tianshu would be affected by these words.
These days, she feels from the bottom of her heart that her eldest sister is the one who really treats her well.
She wished she could raise her hands to block Shen Tianshu's ears, not wanting Shen Yunyao's words to destroy the sisterly relationship between the two of them that had finally become harmonious.
"What's the matter? When I saw people climbing up the high branches of Prince Rui's Mansion, I hurried over and immediately forgot that I had been following me like a dog wagging my tail all these years?"
Shen Yunyao's words became more and more harsh, and Shen Yunhui didn't even know when she would shed tears.
She only felt that Shen Tianshu's hand holding her was getting colder and stiffer.
Shen Yunhui didn't have the courage to look up at Shen Tianshu's expression. She thought to herself that as a concubine, she might not be destined to expect sisterly affection.
It's better to regard the time spent in Wuchang Mansion being taught, protected and cared for by Shen Tianshu as a slightly long sweet dream.
Now that I'm home, it's time to wake up from my dream.
Thinking of this, Shen Yunhui slowly let go of his hand.
But her hand did not fall alone in the cold wind as expected, but was held by Shen Tianshu.
"Why are your hands so cold? Are you wearing too little?"
Only then did Shen Yunhui realize that the coldness and stiffness she felt just now were not Shen Tianshu's hands at all, but her own.
As Shen Tianshu spoke, he raised his hand and took off his cloak and put it on Shen Yunhui's shoulders: "It's the Spring Festival Gala this year, and it's still cold today! Why are the waiters so careless and don't know how to put on extra clothes for you? .”
The soft and thin cloak fell on her shoulders, and Shen Yunhui froze.
She knows the origin of this cloak better than Shen Yunyao. The material and fur obtained by the concubine are already very rare.
Not to mention Yu and Mingxiu have been working day and night these past few days.
When staying at a post station or inn at night, you can see Mingyu and Mingxiu sitting face to face next to an oil lamp and catching up on work.
Every time Shen Yunhui passed by them, she couldn't help but slow down and wanted to take a few more glances.
She naturally liked such a beautiful cloak, but she knew in her heart that it was not something she could afford.
But now this cloak is being draped over her body by the eldest sister.
Shen Yunyao is young, has not yet grown in stature, and is more than a head shorter than Shen Tianshu. Her cloak is a bit too long, and the hem reaches the ground.
Shen Tianshu didn't care, but Shen Yunyao felt extremely distressed. He rubbed his hands hard on his body twice to wipe off the cold sweat on his palms. Then he carefully lifted up his cloak and ignored Shen Yunyao's nonsense. , followed behind Shen Tianshu happily.
Although she was holding the cloak with both hands and could not hold hands with Shen Tianshu, Shen Yunhui was in a very happy mood at this time, and her steps were much lighter than before.
The white fur ball hanging on the cape and hat jumped as she walked, looking like a lively little rabbit from behind.
Shen Yunyao lost her temper, but not only was she ignored, but she was also left alone at the second door.
Seeing the evasive looks of the servants walking around, she was so embarrassed that she almost wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
Shen Tianshu and Shen Yunhui returned to the back house, planning to go back to their rooms to change clothes, and then go to greet Mrs. Xu together.
Before leaving, Shen Yunhui looked at Shen Tianshu helplessly and asked: "Sister, whoever changes clothes first will wait here, okay?"
"Okay, let's go!"
After watching Shen Yunhui leave with three turns, Shen Tianshu turned around and walked towards Shuangtang Courtyard. As he walked, he asked Mingyu: "What's going on with Madam's illness? Didn't she pretend to be sick during the Chinese New Year?" How can you really pretend to be sick?"
Mingyu heard this and whispered: "The girl went to Wuchang Mansion, so she didn't know anything. Not long after the Lantern Festival, someone sent a letter from home. After reading it, my wife fainted. Later I heard that it was a letter from my wife." , Xu Yihao is gone, he probably didn’t get better after that!"
Hearing Mingyu talk about Xu Yihao, Shen Tianshu suddenly remembered that when he was in Yao Valley, Li Zian seemed to have mentioned that Xu Yihao died at home due to wind on his horse.
It seems that Xu Yihao did not take his previous reminder to heart at all.
If he could recuperate after returning home, he wouldn't have died in such a short period of time.
The only seedling passed down from generation to generation in the Xu family died before getting married. It is no wonder that Xu fell ill and could not recover.
Shen Tianshu retracted his wandering thoughts and heard that Mingyu had just finished his rambling.
"...I don't know what happens next."
"He's just a scumbag. It's not a pity to die." Shen Tianshu commented lightly, and the matter was settled.
Although Shen Tianshu's side was overturned, Nanny Yang was very dissatisfied with Mingyu.
A few days after the Lantern Festival, Mingyu followed the palace guards to Wuchang Mansion, so he only knew the beginning of the matter, and had no idea what happened in the following days.
After Mingyu left, Rui'er and Mi'er were the only two little girls left in the yard.
They had just returned from shopping outside. They had no connections or connections in the Shen family. They stayed behind closed doors every day. As long as they could keep the yard safe, they could not ask for anything else.
So when she returned to the room, Aunt Yang took the lead and sent Ming Hui into the room to help Shen Tianshu change clothes, leaving Mingyu behind to talk.
"Mommy, what's the matter?"
Aunt Yang glanced at Mingyu and said, "What else do you want to ask me about? I left you to look after the house in the first place? Do you really think I just asked you to stay in the house guarding the courtyard door?"
"Firstly, the girl feels sorry for your injury, and secondly, just in case something happens to the family, someone can give you a few words of advice when you come back.
"Besides me, you are the only old man in Shuangtang Courtyard. It turned out that you were lucky enough to go to Wuchang Mansion on your own, leaving only two little ones who knew nothing and didn't even recognize their family members. Girl, what can I do for you? Are you just killing flies in the house?
"See for yourself, now that the girl comes back, she has no idea about all the big and small things at home. She doesn't know anything!"
