Shen Zhonglei was actually just venting his inner dissatisfaction. Things had already happened, what else could he do now?
So after losing his temper at Mrs. Xu, he felt that the suffocation in his heart was finally relieved. Before leaving, he said to Mr. Xu: "The whole family will have dinner together tonight. You and Yun Yao should pay attention. Don't worry." Talking nonsense makes my mother angry.
"Also, go to the kitchen in the afternoon and keep an eye on it, and ask them to cook more of my mother's favorite dishes."
After Shen Zhonglei finished speaking, he turned around and left, going to the front yard to discuss with some staff to see how to minimize the impact of this matter.
Mrs. Xu sat in the room for a long time. In the end, she had to break her teeth and swallow blood. She asked someone to come in and wash her face. She used makeup to cover her eyes that were red from crying. She got up and went to the kitchen to check the evening dishes.
Just as Shen Zhonglei said, since Mrs. Shen has brought this matter forward, it proves that she must have mastered the evidence and there is absolutely no way for her to deny it.
If you want Old Mrs. Shen and Shen Zhonglei to calm down, the first thing you have to do is to stay down and serve Old Mrs. Shen well.
Now that her mother's family cannot return and her son is still young, Xu has no other choice but to cling to Mrs. Shen's identity.
In the west courtyard of Shen Mansion, Shen Yunhui was also playing coquettishly with Ping Niang.
"Grandma, just come, why bring Shen Yunyao back!" Shen Yunhui rolled on Ping Niang's lap, "Now the eldest sister is not at home, if she bullies me, no one can help me! "
Ping Niang stroked Shen Yunhui's hair and said, "Then just don't cause trouble, and spend more time with the old lady when you have free time. In front of this old lady, can she still bully you?"
"But the old lady is so fierce, and I don't want to accompany her..." Shen Yunhui pouted and said, "It would be great if the eldest sister was at home. She has been going to the palace for so long, why hasn't she come back yet!"
"Quickly, stop talking nonsense." Ping Niang reached out and pinched Shen Yunhui's mouth, "Do you think anyone can be liked by the Imperial Concubine? This is a good thing that no one else can ask for!"
"Then you have to go home!" Shen Yunhui said unhappily.
"As long as you behave yourself, the old lady won't hurt you."
Compared to Mr. Xu, who was moody and unstable, Ping Niang preferred Mrs. Shen, who paid attention to rules in everything.
As long as you abide by her rules, she will treat everyone equally.
Shen Yunhui thought for a long time, finally nodded, and muttered in a low voice: "I know, I will serve the old lady well, at least she will not want to ask anyone to kill me..."
Ping Niang's heart tightened when she heard this, and she stretched out her hands to hug her daughter into her arms.
Although she had known for a long time that what happened last time had caused great harm to Shen Yunhui, causing her to avoid Shen Yunyao ever since.
But what Pingniang didn't expect was that Shen Yunyao had even surpassed Mrs. Shen, whom she had been afraid of since she was a child, and became the biggest shadow in her heart.
Thinking of Shen Yunyao returning to the mansion, Ping Niang became more and more anxious.
Why hasn’t the eldest girl come back yet?
There is not even any news, and the people who are looking for it don’t know if they have been found.
As evening approached, Shen Yunhui listened to Ping Niang's words and went to wait outside the old lady's residence early. After the old lady got up, she obediently stepped forward to say hello.
"Yunhui would like to say hello to grandma. Can grandma take a rest in the afternoon?"
Shen Yunhui's eyebrows and eyes were all like Ping's, and she was originally a docile person, so she didn't need to pretend to be anything. As soon as she came in front of Mrs. Shen, she naturally softened her tone and voice, and she seemed extremely well-behaved.
She has been like Shen Yunyao's follower since she was a child. She has no sense of existence. In the eyes of Mrs. Shen, she is just a little girl born from her aunt, and she has no big impression at all.
Now I suddenly see that I have grown up so much, and my appearance is quite pleasing to the eye. Mainly because I am sensible, and I know how to come and greet myself.
Mrs. Shen's most basic requirements for the girls in her family are gentleness, filial piety, and courtesy. If they have other advantages, it's better, but if they don't, it's no big deal.
Shen Yunhui's gesture of coming to greet her directly complied with Mrs. Shen's two requirements of being filial and polite.
In addition, Shen Yunyao caused so much trouble in front of her. Although Shen Yunhui spoke softly, her behavior was quite generous, which gave Mrs. Shen a good impression.
"Yunhui, right? She has grown into a big girl after not seeing each other for a few years. If I met her on the street, I would not dare to recognize her." Old Mrs. Shen said and asked someone to move an embroidery pier for Shen Yunhui. Putting it not far away from me, he said, "It's rare that you still want to come over and say hello to me. Then come and talk to me, an old lady, for a while!"
"Thank you, grandma." Shen Yunhui promised, but she didn't dare to sit down, leaning her body sideways and sitting on the edge.
Old Mrs. Shen asked Grandma Jiang to comb her hair while talking to Shen Yunhui at random.
"When your father came to Yongzhou Mansion, you were still young. Are you afraid that you won't be able to remember me?"
"My granddaughter is dull, but she still remembers her grandmother. Moreover, my eldest sister and father often talk about her. The more I listen to her, the more impressed I am about my grandmother."
"Speaking of this, I just remembered, why didn't you see Tianshu today?" Mrs. Shen had noticed it before, but she was so anxious to tell her son about Xu that she forgot to ask.
"The eldest sister was taken over by Princess Fengrong to stay for a while, but she hasn't come back yet!"
"Fengrong Princess? Which Fengrong Princess?" Mrs. Shen didn't know about this before. She was startled when she heard this and blurted out a silly question.
There is only one Princess Fengrong among us, who else could it be!
Shen Yunhui didn't notice, and patiently explained to her: "She is Concubine Fengrong of Prince Rui's Mansion, Prince Rui's biological mother. During the Lantern Festival this year, my eldest sister took me to a banquet at Prince Rui's Mansion. I don't know why. He was so favored by the Dowager Empress that he even took his eldest sister to the temple to worship Buddha together!
"Later after the Qingming Festival, she sent someone to pick up the eldest sister and asked her to stay with her for a while. Unexpectedly, she has not let her come back until now..."
Shen Yunhui now becomes a chatterbox whenever she talks about Shen Tianshu. She talks endlessly without realizing that Mrs. Shen has fallen into deep thought.
Chunlan had received help from Shen Tianshu before, and now she was able to work as a maid beside the old lady openly. So when she heard that Shen Yunhui kept saying good things to Shen Tianshu, her impression of her improved a lot, and she rushed to the person behind her. The maid winked.
The maid hurriedly poked Shen Yunhui from behind and signaled her to stop talking.
Only then did Shen Yunhui realize that although Mrs. Shen was still sitting in front of him, her face was expressionless and her thoughts had already wandered to nowhere.
She thought she had said something wrong and was so frightened that she was covered in white hair and sweat. She tried hard to hold it in so as not to cry.
At this moment, she felt extremely regretful. She shouldn't have listened to Ping Niang. It would have been better to just stay in the house, so why bother to come to her door to find her?
