Everything Shen Yunyao did in the room quickly reached the ears of Mrs. Shen.
Old Mrs. Shen became increasingly displeased with her and said with a sullen face: "I looked like a pretty good child when I left, but now what has Mrs. Xu taught me to do!"
She dared to say this, but the people serving around her did not dare to agree casually. After all, Mrs. Xu was also the master.
Old Mrs. Shen complained a few words to herself, finding it very boring. She snorted coldly and ordered to the person next to her: "Zhenzhu, go ask that girl Chunlan to come over and serve me."
"The old lady means..."
Old Mrs. Shen glanced at Pearl. She immediately did not dare to say anything and hurried down to find Aunt Jiang to ask for someone.
In order to serve Mrs. Shen conveniently, Grandma Jiang's family lived in the alley outside the back door of the Shen family's old house.
Chunlan immediately became excited when she heard that Pearl came to deliver the message.
If the old lady is willing to use her again, does it mean that she is no longer angry and is ready to give her a clear path?
Aunt Jiang is naturally not as optimistic as her daughter.
The reason why she has been able to serve Mrs. Shen for so many years without being replaced is because of her ability to comb her hair and massage her hair and to understand the old lady's thoughts.
And this time point is really fascinating.
When Shen Yunyao came back, the old lady sent someone to call Chunlan.
Thinking of this, Aunt Jiang quickly took out a small piece of silver from the drawer, stepped forward and gave it to Zhenzhu and said: "Good girl, for the sake of us being on duty together for so many years, why don't you tell me, old lady?" What does it mean?"
Pearl was usually happy to maintain a good relationship with Aunt Jiang. After all, with Aunt Jiang here, she could serve Old Mrs. Shen comfortably early in the morning, and those of them who were maids also benefited from it.
But this time she refused resolutely: "Mom, this is too unreasonable. It's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I really don't understand what the old lady's plan is.
"I can only say that the old lady was very dissatisfied with the second girl's every move after she came back. Later, Miss Chunlan went with me. I have an idea and act according to the situation!"
Although the money was not given away, fortunately the pearl still revealed some useful information.
Aunt Jiang knew that Mrs. Shen was now very dissatisfied with Mrs. Xu, but she had always treated things differently. If Shen Yunyao had behaved humbly and respectfully when she came back, maybe this would not have happened.
But in front of Pearl, Aunt Jiang couldn't say much. She took advantage of the opportunity to leave the house and gave a few quick instructions. Then she stopped worriedly and watched Chunlan follow Pearl into the back door of Shen's house.
Until no one could be seen anymore, Grandma Jiang couldn't help but sigh.
She knew that Mrs. Shen probably wanted to use Chunlan to beat Shen Yunyao.
But since Chunlan wanted to work in the Shen family again, she was waiting for just such an opportunity.
Aunt Jiang stood at the entrance of the alley, thinking of the account book evidence that Chunlan had brought back and the benefactor she had always talked about, and for a moment she didn't know whether it was right or wrong to let her daughter do this.
After all, even if she keeps someone by her side for a lifetime, it's not like she can't afford to support him.
But rather than living in hiding, Chunlan wants to stand upright in front of others again.
Alas, children are all debts from the previous life!
Grandma Jiang sighed heavily, then turned and walked back.
Chunlan followed Pearl into Shen's house. The scenery she saw was similar to when she was a child, but most of the servants who greeted Pearl along the way had unfamiliar faces.
Those people were also curious when they saw Chunlan, but no one asked. They just looked at her quickly, then smiled and exchanged greetings with Pearl.
I have to say that Mrs. Shen's housekeeping skills are much higher than Mrs. Xu's.
Follow Zhenzhu all the way around, and finally come to the main courtyard.
As she got closer and closer to Mrs. Shen, Chunlan became more and more nervous, and her palms were covered in cold sweat.
The little maid at the door saw the person coming and immediately raised the door curtain.
Pearl took Chunlan's hand and walked inside, smiling and saying: "Old lady, Chunlan is here."
When Chunlan entered the room, she didn't even dare to look up from the corner of her eye. She knelt down on the ground and kowtowed: "Slave Chunlan has seen the old lady."
"Get up quickly, raise your head and show me."
We haven't seen each other for several years, but Mrs. Shen's voice has not changed much and is still as dignified.
Chunlan stood up and raised her head carefully, but her eyes were still looking at the ground, not daring to look directly at Mrs. Shen.
Seeing Chunlan's appearance brought back old memories of Mrs. Shen's past.
As Aunt Jiang said at the beginning, when Chunlan was a child, because she was similar in age to Shen Tianshu and Shen Yunyao, she was sent to the house early to play with the girls, so it was equivalent to growing up next to Mrs. Shen.
"Your appearance has not changed much from when you were a child." Old Mrs. Shen said, "I said at that time that Chunlan has the best eyes, they are black, bright and very lively."
Hearing what Mrs. Shen said, Chunlan's eyes were so moved that her eyes turned red, and she even swallowed: "I didn't expect that the old lady would still remember this slave..."
"I heard your mother say you were back before. I thought you hadn't been home for many years and wanted you to stay with your family for a while, so I didn't rush to call you in.
Now that you have come in, please stay in my room and do your work!"
"Thank you, old lady. I will definitely have a good time doing my job." Chunlan knelt down and kowtowed to Old Mrs. Shen again.
Seeing this, Pearl smiled and said: "Although Sister Chunlan has grown up in front of the old lady, she has not been at home for a few years. Why not let her follow the slaves these days to familiarize herself with the rules of the old lady's room as soon as possible. .”
Mrs. Shen nodded noncommittally and agreed.
Chunlan felt relieved and smiled gratefully at Pearl.
"It just so happens that I'm in charge of dinner today, and it's almost time. Sister Chunlan, please accompany me to the kitchen!"
Pearl took Chunlan away, and Mrs. Shen sent someone across the courtyard to ask Shen Yunyao to come over and have dinner with her in the evening.
Although Shen Yunyao was unhappy, she couldn't refuse. She could only wash up quickly, tidy up her appearance, and took the maid to the main room.
In the main room, the three sisters who had just met in the afternoon were surrounding Old Mrs. Shen, chattering without knowing what they were talking about.
"Yunyao is here, let's get ready for dinner!" Old Mrs. Shen looked like she was in a good mood with a slight smile on her face. She also said to Shen Yunyao, "I'm afraid you won't feel comfortable eating alone with me, an old woman. I called all three of your sisters over, and it just so happened that you became very close to each other."
"Thank you, grandma." Shen Yunyao held her breath and saluted Mrs. Shen as dignifiedly as possible.
Mrs. Shen simply couldn't bear to look at her, so she stood up and covered herself up and said, "Let's go over and have dinner."
In the compartment, Pearl was taking Chunlan to place dishes on the table.
"Why are you here!" Shen Yunyao saw Chunlan unexpectedly and screamed in shock.
