In the evening, Shen Tianshu was eating in his room when he saw Minghui coming back from outside with an angry expression on her face.
Shen Tianshu put down his chopsticks and asked, "What's going on? Who made our girl Minghui so angry?"
Minghui didn't expect that Shen Tianshu would ask someone to put food in the main room today, but it was too late to disguise his expression. She blushed when she was called and said: "Miss, you are making fun of me again."
Fan Yu has been called Miss Minghui and Miss Minghui several times since then. After returning home, Shen Tianshu also liked to use this title to tease her.
"Girl, Miss Hanqiao came here just now and asked me about today's medicine." Minghui said angrily, "I have already told you to drive Young Master Biao out of the house and ask him to go back to Xu's house quickly, but he is still still in Yongzhou House. "
Shen Tianshu was not surprised at all. While eating, he said: "He is not cured of his illness yet. Even if he is allowed to leave, he will not leave. What's more, even if he is willing to go back, do you think Mrs. Xu really dares to let him go?" What?
"Moreover, even if the illness is cured, it will not be so easy to leave. As the saying goes, it is easier to invite the gods than to send them away. I am afraid that Mr. Xu will be ill for a while this time."
Minghui didn't know about these past events of the Shen family, so she was confused by Shen Tianshu's explanation, and asked in confusion: "Girl, then, should we still cook the medicine?"
"Of course I'll fry it! A good person will do his best to the end, send Buddha to the west, cure diseases and save people. How can he just ignore it after saving half of it? Besides, there are only a few days left."
Minghui said in confusion: "Girl, why aren't you angry at all? Master Cousin has done so many bad things without being punished. The second girl is just a grounded person who doesn't feel any pain or itching. Could it be that the girl is... Is it all in vain? Mingyu’s injuries are in vain too?”
"You're still too young." Shen Tianshu was seven-tenths full and put down his chopsticks to signal that he didn't want to eat. After rinsing his mouth, he picked up the tea cup again and slowly sipped the tea soup and said, "In this world, the principle of doing things is It’s the same as treating a disease. It’s about a step-by-step process. How can there be so many things that can be accomplished overnight? Be patient and lay the groundwork in the front, and the rest will naturally develop based on the foundation you laid in advance.”
Minghui listened half-heartedly, but Nanny Yang on the side seemed to understand something.
After dinner, Shen Zhonglei brought many things to Shen Tianshu and directly rewarded Mingyu with fifty taels of silver.
"Daughter, thank your father for Mingyu." Shen Tianshu has been practicing in front of the mirror for a long time recently. As long as he hides the hatred in his heart deeper, makes the fake smile on his face brighter, and his eyebrows are so curved that only crescent moons are left. She can also make an innocent expression.
Shen Zhonglei was really impressed by her attitude. He sat down and said, "Shu'er, you don't blame dad, do you?"
"Dad, where did you start with these words?" Shen Tianshu sneered in his heart, but his eyes widened in surprise, and his whole person looked more childish, looking like an innocent girl of eleven or twelve years old, "You just said When you came back from Fang Yamen, you brought me so many things. I couldn't be happy before it was too late, so how could I blame you?"
"Well, it's the matter between Xu Yihao and Yun Yao... Just, it's that, you know." Shen Zhonglei hesitated and said with great difficulty, "Dad knows that you have been wronged about this matter..."
"Dad, you are not too tired and have misremembered, are you? The ones who were kidnapped were the second sister and the third sister. From the beginning to the end, nothing happened to me. I have nothing to feel wronged about." Shen Tianshu lowered his eyes, covering up. Watch the irony in your eyes.
"Well, Mr. Fan came to the government office today to say goodbye and told me everything that happened that day."
When Shen Tianshu heard this, he felt happy. Fan Yuru had finally left, and there was no need to worry about him staying here to track down Lady Tong.
I don't know if it's because of the candlelight or because he's been too tired these past few days, but Shen Zhonglei's expression and tone are very soft today, and the eyes he looks at Shen Tianshu are full of love and care.
"My son, Mr. Fan, praised you very much today, saying that you are brave and careful, and your thinking is clear and meticulous. But when I thought about you, I must have been frightened, right?" Shen Zhonglei became more and more satisfied with his eldest daughter as he looked at her, and patted her. The back of his hand said, "You kid, your temperament is exactly the same as mine when I was young. The more panic you feel inside, the calmer you appear on the outside, and no one can see any flaws."
"At that time, I only thought about rescuing my two sisters quickly. I had no thoughts or time to think about anything else. It wasn't until I came back last night and was lying on the bed by myself that I started to feel scared. What if I Where did I go wrong? What if I was delayed by something along the way? Wouldn’t it be that the second sister and the third sister... By then, not only the father will be sad, but the mother and Ping Niang will also be devastated." Shen Tianshu said with a look in his eyes. With an envious and helpless smile, "Fortunately, the final result was good, otherwise I would have been dead."
After hearing this, Shen Zhonglei suddenly thought that last night, Shen Yunyao was accompanied by Mrs. Xu, Shen Yunhui was guarded by Ping Niang, and Shen Tianshu was alone.
He couldn't help but say with a sore nose: "Dad has been too neglectful of you all these years, and you have grown into a big girl in the blink of an eye. Don't worry, dad will never let you down."
Shen Zhonglei suddenly felt emotional. He had a good meal with Shen Tianshu to express his fatherly love, and then left Shuangtangyuan with a full stomach of melancholy.
Aunt Yang said with a smile: "Young girl still has a way, now I feel that I owe you a lot, and I will definitely make it up to you."
Shen Tianshu was noncommittal. Shen Zhonglei's mood today was just a temporary emotion. This kind of thing would soon change with his mood, so it should not be taken seriously.
"It's getting late, girl, please freshen up and rest early." Now that Mingyu was injured and went home to take care of herself, Grandma Yang was worried about the other maids, so she simply went into battle herself and started working as a personal maid.
Shen Tianshu yawned slightly, but he casually opened the medical book that he had read half of and said, "Don't worry, maybe someone will come later."
"It's already so late, and the courtyard door is almost locked. Who else will come?" Aunt Yang couldn't figure it out, but seeing that Shen Tianshu didn't want to explain, she had to move another oil lamp over, so as not to worry about it. She had bad eyesight.
Shen Tianshu read the book like this for half an hour, and Mi'er finally led a man who wrapped himself tightly in a cloak into the room.
Aunt Yang said: "Why are you here so late? Our girl has been waiting for you for a long time."
The visitor was startled when he heard this and asked: "How did the big girl know that I would come?"
You know, she was thinking about today in the room from last night, until she finally made the decision to come find Shen Tianshu.
Shen Tianshu put down the medical book, rubbed his already sore eyes, stood up and said, "Now you seem to have no other way to go except here."
The visitor opened the laces, took off his hat, and revealed his face. It was Ping Niang.
