"How does my sister know where I am? Are you following me again?"
"I didn't go out today." Shen Yunyao raised her eyebrows proudly and said, "But I can know where you are without going out!"
"Really, that sister is really amazing!" Shen Tianshu said without giving any clue.
"Do you want me to tell you? I know you went..."
Shen Yunyao didn't say the middle words aloud, she just mouthed them.
However, Shen Tianshu could tell at a glance that she was talking about Xin'an Street.
Her heart suddenly thumped, but there was still a smile on her face, and she looked at Shen Yunyao like a good sister who doted on her younger sister.
"I really don't know what you are talking about."
Shen Yunyao rolled her eyes in disgust at her expression and said, "Dad, if you don't believe me, ask someone to go to Guo's house and ask to see if this good daughter who you think is sensible and caring is actually a liar!"
"Have you had enough trouble?" Before Shen Zhonglei could speak, Old Mrs. Shen's face darkened, "What are you asking, how are you asking!
"It's okay for you to be tit-for-tat at home. Do you want your father to lose his face in other people's homes?"
"If sister doesn't believe me, you can ask the coachman and the maid to come in and ask where I have been today."
Shen Tianshu already had a countermeasure in mind at this time, and even planned to use Shen Yunyao's help to let Qiu Jun enter the mansion smoothly to work as his coachman.
"Of course your maid is facing you, as well as the coachman. Don't think I don't know that you don't use your family's coachman when you go out recently. You use your personal maid Mingyu's eldest brother!
"If you don't have something wrong with you, why don't you use the driver at home and insist on using someone from outside?"
Shen Tianshu had a smile on his face before, but now his expression slowly changed after hearing Shen Yunyao's words.
Shen Yunyao raised her chin higher, looking like she was grabbing Shen Tianshu's pigtails.
However, Shen Tianshu's eyes quickly turned red at the sight of her villain.
Shen Yunyao's back suddenly felt cold, and a bad premonition arose in her heart.
Sure enough, Shen Tianshu's voice was heard:
"Zou Jun is Mingyu's eldest brother. He used to be a coachman. He often went out and was away from home for most of the month. It was dangerous and he made little money.
"The reason why I use him now is because Mingyu came to me for help, and I just helped her family. Why did it become so disgusting when it came to the second sister's mouth?
"Besides, when the second sister was growing up, the wet nurse, daughter-in-law, nanny, and even the young boy and coachman around her were all brought by her mother from the Xu family?
"Is it possible that because I lost my mother when I was a child, I don't even have the right to use anyone as my coachman?"
In Daqi, many big families have domestic slaves, and their families have served their masters for generations.
The reason for this situation is probably because the family's life and death future are held in the hands of the master, who can influence the whole body, which can better ensure the loyalty of the servants.
Families with daughters will start preparing to train several families when the children are still young, and send them to the husband's family as a dowry when they get married, so as to avoid having no useful people in the husband's family.
When Liu Yaxuan married into the Shen family, the Liu family was at its peak.
However, Shen Zhonglei was just an ordinary scholar at that time and had no official position. Therefore, in order to take care of the Shen family's face, Liu Yaxuan rejected the idea of her mother's family to marry her to six families, and only brought her wet nurse and maid to the Shen family.
In the hands of these people, they have all been disposed of by the Xu family for various reasons in the past ten years. Now the only one who has achieved fruitful results is Grandma Yang.
Mrs. Shen and Shen Zhonglei naturally knew these things in their hearts.
But since Mrs. Xu is married in, Old Mrs. Shen will naturally hand over the deeds of sale of these people to her.
Compared with Shen Tianshu's feelings, Mrs. Shen was more concerned about the stability of Shen Zhonglei's back home and his career.
And as a person with a strong desire to control, she was not only able to understand Xu's approach, she even felt that she would definitely do the same thing if she and Xu were to change places.
Mrs. Shen even thought that she had made up for her by taking care of Shen Tianshu when she was in her hometown.
So when Shen Tianshu said such words, Mrs. Shen felt a little unhappy in her heart.
However, Shen Tianshu's words were not meant for Mrs. Shen, her target was Shen Zhonglei.
Shen Zhonglei looked at his eldest daughter with red eyes, recalling the people around her now, and was surprised to find that except for Nanny Yang, weren't everyone else purchased later?
Even the few maids except Mingyu were bought less than a year ago.
As for the people around Shen Yunyao, none of them were carefully selected by the Xu family as dowry personnel.
There are many things in the world that I am most afraid of comparing.
Normally I wouldn't realize it until I made it clear, but now that I think about it carefully, the reality is so shocking.
Shen Zhonglei looked at Shen Tianshu with eyes full of pity, and his mind had automatically found a reason for her.
Grandma Yang's family is not in Yongzhou Mansion, and the one who has stayed with Shen Tianshu the longest is Mingyu.
Promoting Mingyu's family members must be for their own peace of mind, and secondly, they want Mingyu to be more devoted to her, right?
Shen Zhonglei was tortured so much by his own mind that he spoke for Shen Tianshu heartbrokenly: "What's there to say about being a coachman? Since he is Mingyu's eldest brother, he should be someone who knows everything about it. I'll send him a message clearly." Go check it out, and if there is no problem, ask him to come into the house and help you drive your car."
As soon as Shen Tianshu heard this, the tears that he had been holding back were only in the circles of his eyes finally burst out of his eyes uncontrollably, dripped down suddenly, and hit the table.
She swallowed even more and said: "My daughter thanked her father."
This tear seemed to hit Shen Zhonglei's heart, making him speak softer.
"You kid, is this such a big deal? You don't deserve to thank me!
“In the future, if you don’t have enough people around you or can’t use them, just come directly to dad and tell me there’s nothing to worry about.
"You have to remember that you are my father's beloved daughter and the eldest daughter of the prefect's family. You are already very sensible and well-behaved. There is no need to wrong yourself."
When Xu's mother and daughter heard this, their expressions were equally ugly.
Old Mrs. Shen wanted to speak up and say fifty points each, but Shen Zhonglei expressed her position first. It was not easy for her to refute her son's face in front of her daughter-in-law and grandchildren.
She swallowed back the words that had already reached her lips and said instead: "Okay, stop making trouble here, the meal is finished, the tea is drunk, let's disperse!
"Second brother, please stay here for a moment. I have something to tell you."
After hearing this, the others all stood up and left. Before Shen Tianshu left, he glanced at Shen Zhonglei, who was left behind by Mrs. Shen, and felt a little uneasy.
