Zhao Junrong glared at Shen Yunyao and said, "Sister Shen, what do you mean? Don't you want Master Shen to know the truth and would rather let Sister Shen be punished?
Shen Yunyao was speechless by what she said, but she did not dare to let her go to find Shen Zhonglei.
Mrs. Zhao stretched out her hand to hold her daughter and said: "Jun Rong, don't mess around! Mr. Shen is busy with official duties, why are you going to cause trouble?"
"But..." Zhao Junrong was so angry that he stomped his feet and said, "It was my fault in the first place, and now I let Sister Shen take the blame for me, then, then I'll go help Sister Shen copy the female precepts!"
Mrs. Zhao winked at her daughter and said, "Go back to the house first."
Zhao Junrong wanted to say something more, but when he saw his mother's expression, he closed his mouth angrily, glared at Shen Yunyao, turned around and walked into the house.
Mrs. Zhao took Shen Yunyao's hand and said softly: "This kid Junrong has been spoiled by me. You must not be as knowledgeable as her. It's really wasted that you wanted to take her out to play today. Sincerely, I will talk to her properly later. I will host you in a few days and invite you to go out to play together. I am really sorry that I made your trip in vain."
"Aunt Zhao is so polite. Sister Zhao is just a real person. It will be the same if I come to see her to hang out in a few days. Aunt Zhao must not talk about my sister."
Mrs. Zhao personally sent Shen Yunyao and Shen Yunhui out of Dongkua Yard. After watching them go away, the smile on her face immediately disappeared.
She returned to the room and saw Zhao Junrong spinning on the ground, and said with a stern face: "Come here and tell me everything about yesterday afternoon!"
Zhao Junrong walked up to Mrs. Zhao and recounted what happened yesterday afternoon.
She had a good memory and was very talkative. She repeated almost everything Shen Tianshu said and talked for more than half an hour.
The more Mrs. Zhao listened, the more she felt that Shen Tianshu was transparent and understood the truth. What was rare was that she had the ability to explain the truth to Zhao Junrong without causing Zhao Junrong's disgust.
A few words from others are more effective than what she has been talking about in the past two years.
What's even more rare is that Shen Tianshu was fined to copy books and grounded, but he didn't tell Zhao Junrong.
Based on this alone, Mrs. Zhao has a special liking for Shen Tianshu.
She stretched out her hand and said, "Where is the book?"
Zhao Junrong said with a wilted head: "It was confiscated by Sister Shen."
"Why, are you still not convinced?" Mrs. Zhao asked.
Zhao Junrong quickly shook his head and said: "No, if I were not convinced, I wouldn't want to go to Sister Shen today."
As she spoke, she pressed her whole body against Mrs. Zhao's body, twisting around and saying, "Mom, I know you always talked about me before, all for my own good, but I don't know why. The more you talk about me, the worse I feel. I wanted to watch it secretly. But when Sister Shen told me this, I seemed to be able to listen better. I really know that I can’t take her words seriously. Please find a way to help Sister Shen!"
"It's rare to find a good girl who can control you. Naturally, I can't let her take the blame for you!"
"Really?" Zhao Junrong suddenly became happy and poured out the nice words for free, "I know you are the best, mother, and you love me the most. So what should we do now?"
"I do have a way, but I have to make Yingqiu in your room miserable."
Yingqiu is Zhao Junrong's personal maid, and the relationship between master and servant has always been very good.
Zhao Junrong looked back at Yingqiu, who was standing behind him, biting her lower lip, and asked: "How can I wrong her? This matter has nothing to do with her..."
"If you can't bear it, forget it." Mrs. Zhao said and stood up to leave.
Yingqiu took the initiative to step forward and said: "Madam, although I don't understand any big principles, I know that Miss Shen is really good for our girl. As long as I can help Miss Shen, I will not feel wronged in anything I do. "
Mrs. Zhao stood still and turned to look at Zhao Junrong.
Zhao Junrong looked at Yingqiu, and then thought about Shen Tianshu who was grounded and had to copy books, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Yingqiu, this time it's my fault. No matter how wronged you have been, I will compensate you twice as much when you come back. "
After she finished speaking, she turned to look at Mrs. Zhao, with a begging look in her eyes.
Mrs. Zhao then turned back and ordered people to open the cage and find two pieces of fine brocade brought back from Chengdu.
While sending people out to buy snacks, he also asked for snacks from Guixiangzhai, the most famous restaurant in the city.
Finally, he muttered a few words to his personal maid, Xiqin.
Xiqin also quickly followed the order and went out.
Zhao Junrong said anxiously: "Mom, can't you get a few more pieces of brocade? Why don't you buy some snacks? It's a waste of time to go back and forth!"
Mrs. Zhao rolled her eyes at her and said, "What do you know? Either you just listen to me honestly, or you do it yourself?"
Zhao Junrong immediately did not dare to say anything more and could only wander around the room, anxiously waiting for the person who bought snacks to come back.
The supply of dim sum at Guixiangzhai exceeds the demand every day, and there is often a long queue. By the time someone comes back to buy the dim sum, it is almost lunch time.
Mrs. Zhao then asked someone to carry the things and took Zhao Junrong to the main room to see Mrs. Xu.
When Mrs. Xu heard that Mrs. Zhao was coming to visit with her daughter, although she was surprised that she came just before dinner time, she still went out to welcome her into the house and said with a smile: "It's strange that the daffodils in my room bloomed this morning." Many, it turns out that there are distinguished guests coming to the door. Madam, please come in quickly. It's warm inside. Let's go in and talk."
When Mrs. Zhao entered the room, she first asked someone to bring things up.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Just come here. Why are you bringing something with you?"
Mrs. Zhao said sincerely: "Brothers and sisters, I came here specifically to apologize today."
Mrs. Xu was even more confused, but she still said: "What are you talking about, Mrs. Sister-in-law? It confuses me. How can I apologize?"
"Oh, it's not just that I am a careless girl who can't even take care of the servants in her own room." Mrs. Xu said and glared at Yingqiu, "You can tell for yourself!"
Upon hearing this, Yingqiu stepped forward and knelt down at Mrs. Xu's feet with a plop.
"Mrs. Sister-in-law, what on earth is going on?" Mrs. Xu was startled.
"Mrs. Shen, it's all slave's fault. Our girl and the eldest daughter of the Shen family made an appointment to read and talk together yesterday afternoon. The girl sent the slave out early in the morning to buy some fashionable books, thinking that we could talk to eldest daughter Shen. watch together.
"But the slave is illiterate and does not understand these books and articles. When he arrived at the bookstore, he asked the clerk that he wanted to buy two of the most fashionable books for girls. Unexpectedly, the clerk actually bought two story books for the slave... "
When Mrs. Xu heard this, she couldn't understand the purpose of Mrs. Zhao's visit.
But what she couldn't figure out was why Mrs. Zhao, who was so good, would stand up for Shen Tianshu.
Just before she could think of what to say, she heard footsteps coming from outside the door. Shen Zhonglei opened the door curtain and came in: "Tell someone to prepare some more good dishes. Today, Brother Zhao found a bottle of old wine. The two of us will A good student..."
Before Shen Zhonglei finished speaking, he saw the situation in the room and looked at Mrs. Xu with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "What happened?"
