In front of Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Junrong, Mrs. Xu couldn't even cover up for Shen Yunyao, so she could only let Mrs. Zhao and Yingqiu put on a show. The maid bought a storybook by mistake, and Shen Tianshu taught Zhao Junrong how to learn it. Show the drama to Shen Zhonglei.
Yingqiu was also a ruthless character. He fired his bow left and right on the spot and slapped himself four times.
She was merciless, and after four slaps, her cheeks immediately became red and swollen.
Xu knew clearly that they were putting on a show, but she still had to plead for Yingqiu: "She's just an illiterate maid. What does she know? It's an unintentional mistake. It's not a big deal in the first place. Madam, please don't be angry. Already."
"I'm not angry with this maid. I just heard that she was careless and did something wrong, which ended up causing Tianshu's child to be grounded and punished. Naturally, I couldn't sit still, and I didn't care about the meal and being in a hurry to take people with me. Come and make things clear."
After Shen Zhonglei figured out the cause and effect of the matter, he naturally understood in his heart that it was Shen Yunyao who was causing the matter. He glared at Mrs. Xu while others were not paying attention, and then said with a slight complaint: "This girl Tianshu is really, what happened yesterday?" Why don’t you explain things clearly! I’m not the kind of unreasonable person.”
Since Mrs. Zhao took on the role of Shen Tianshu, she naturally had to do a full set of performances, saying: "I think this is where Miss Shen is so kind. My husband is a guest and he is younger than her, so she must I was afraid that this matter would be spread out and it would harm Jun Rong's reputation, so I took the matter on myself."
Zhao Junrong also said hurriedly: "Although it was my maid who made the mistake, it was also caused by my negligence and lax discipline. Naturally, I cannot let Sister Shen be punished for me. If Mr. Shen must punish Sister, then I am willing to follow Sister Receive the punishment together."
Shen Zhonglei naturally couldn't punish Zhao Junrong as well. Hearing this, he immediately said: "This matter is all the maid's fault. The maid also took the punishment on her own. Not only was Tian Shu not wrong, but he also had the merit of teaching and caring for his sister. Naturally There is no need to continue to be punished. You have the courage to take responsibility and are a good boy. She doesn’t need to be punished, and you naturally don’t need to be punished either.”
Zhao Junrong instantly showed a bright smile, bowed to Shen Zhonglei and said: "Thank you, Mr. Shen, then I will go and tell Sister Shen the good news."
After she said that, she lightly lifted the hem of her skirt and left.
Mrs. Zhao said embarrassedly: "This kid is so rude."
Shen Zhonglei waved his hand and said: "Mrs. Sister-in-law, what you said is wrong. Jun Rong is at an innocent and romantic age, and there are no outsiders in the family. It's the right time to be so casual."
"Now that the matter has been made clear, I will go back." Mrs. Zhao said as she prepared to stand up and leave.
Mrs. Xu hurriedly spoke to persuade her: "Now that Madam-in-law is here, don't leave in a hurry. Let the two brothers go drink and talk on their own. How about the two of us eating quietly here? I didn't bother the old lady before." I'm sorry, and I'm too embarrassed to disturb you. It's rare for you to come over today, so I can't let go of this opportunity to get close to my sister-in-law and talk about myself."
"That makes sense." Shen Zhonglei said, turning to look at Zhao Qu and saying, "Brother Zhao also has something to say, we can't just keep ourselves close to the children, we have to let them get closer."
Zhao Qu suddenly went to the Yamen to find Shen Zhonglei. Naturally, it was because Mrs. Zhao sent someone to deliver a message to her and asked him to take the person back home from the Yamen, in order to clarify Shen Tianshu in front of Shen Zhonglei.
He also knew that his wife didn't want to see Mrs. Xu, but since the master's words came to this, he really couldn't find an excuse to refuse, so he could only agree to it for her despite his wife's eyes full of resistance. .
Mrs. Zhao had actually expected this to be the case in the end, but she didn't expect that stinky girl Zhao Junrong to run away so quickly, leaving her alone to have this extremely embarrassing lunch.
Zhao Junrong listened to Shen Zhonglei's words, left the main room, and went straight to Shuangtang Courtyard without missing a moment. When he entered the door, he shouted: "Sister Shen, you don't need to copy books or be grounded!"
Mingyu was grinding in the study and waiting for Shen Tianshu to copy the female commandments. When she suddenly heard this, she looked at Shen Tianshu overjoyed and whispered: "Girl, how can you predict things like this?"
Before Shen Tianshu could say anything, Zhao Junrong had already entered the room and ran to her side, chattering about what happened in the main courtyard just now.
After Zhao Junrong finished speaking, she took the warm water Mingyu handed her and drank more than half of the glass. Then she turned her attention to the maids in Shen Tianshu's room and asked with a sullen face: "What happened yesterday?" Who told it?"
She felt that after this incident, she and Shen Tianshu were already their own, so she didn't have any psychological burden when she questioned the maids in Shen Tianshu's room.
Shen Tianshu opened his mouth to help the maids, "It's not their business. It's cold in the study. If we have anything to say, we can talk about it in the room."
Zhao Junrong walked over quickly and was already sweating slightly. He didn't take off his cloak after entering the house, so he didn't feel it at all. But when he heard Shen Tianshu say it was cold, he immediately touched her hand and it turned out to be cold. He must have just copied the woman. It was frozen during the warning period.
"Sister Shen..." Although her mother blamed Yingqiu for everything in order to preserve her reputation, Zhao Junrong knew in her heart that this incident was entirely her own fault, so when she saw Shen Tianshu , she felt guilty and distressed, and tears began to well up in her eyes.
"Oh, what's going on? I asked them to remove the two charcoal basins. Otherwise, it would be too hot in the room and I would be upset when writing."
There was no need to copy books anymore, Shen Tianshu hurriedly coaxed Zhao Junrong back to the east room.
Sure enough, as soon as we entered the main house, we immediately felt a warm and spring-like feeling.
Zhao Junrong took off his cloak, sat down on the soft couch and said, "If it's not the maid in my sister's room, who could it be?"
Although he doesn't regard Shen Yunyao as his sister at all, Shen Tianshu doesn't have the habit of exposing family scandals.
Shen Tianshu patted Zhao Junrong on the shoulder and said: "The matter is over, so don't create any more complications. The maids in my yard are also to blame for this matter because they were too careless. It will give them a long memory."
Zhao Junrong was embarrassed to ask, but this knot was still lingering in her heart, so she had no choice but to go back and ask Mrs. Zhao.
"In the future, you should stay close to Miss Shen more often and stay away from the other two girls in the Shen family."
Zhao Junrong opened his eyes wide and asked with surprise: "Are they Shen Yunyao and Shen Yunhui? Mother, how did you know? Why are these two people so bad? Does Master Shen know?"
Mrs. Zhao looked at her daughter who couldn't hide her thoughts and showed everything on her face. Then she thought about what Shen Zhonglei said at noon. She couldn't help but start to reflect on whether she had failed in educating her daughter.
