Shen Tianshu has been waiting for Mrs. Shen to send someone to call him.
But the people in the old lady's courtyard didn't wait, but they waited for Ping Niang who was full of anxiety.
Ping Niang took good care of herself during this pregnancy and confinement period, so even though she had just given birth not long ago, her overall condition was much better than before the pregnancy.
However, her frown and dark circles under her eyes still revealed the anxiety in her heart.
"Miss." Ping Niang stepped forward and said hello, "I heard someone said that the eldest man's illness doesn't seem to be getting better?
"The old lady seems to be thinking of returning to her hometown. Is she going to take Bao'er with her?
"But Bao'er is still too young now, how can he bear the fatigue of traveling all the way?"
Ping Niang had worried about this problem before, but Mrs. Shen had no intention of leaving at that time.
But I can't tell right now, maybe in a few days I'll take advantage of the crisp autumn weather and set off on my way.
Shen Tianshu had hinted to her before that if she couldn't let go of her son, the best choice would be to go back to her hometown with Mrs. Shen.
Ping Niang had already made up her mind that even if she left her daughter in Wuchang Mansion and handed it over to Shen Tianshu, she would still stay with her son.
But the Shen family has been in a state of flux recently.
Especially this morning, according to her knowledge and speculation, Shen Zhonglei probably had a big dispute with Mrs. Shen.
Since coming out of Mrs. Shen's yard in the morning, Shen Zhonglei has been shutting himself in the study. He has not eaten a bite of lunch and has not come out yet.
Ping Niang didn't know what happened, and she felt really uneasy, so she had to come over to disturb Shen Tianshu.
Shen Tianshu said: "Don't worry, aunt, I don't know yet whether the old lady wants to go back to her hometown.
"But even if she is anxious to leave, her father probably won't allow her to take Bao'er away."
After what happened in the morning, there must have been a huge crack in the mother-son relationship between Mrs. Shen and Shen Zhonglei.
Based on Shen Tianshu's understanding of Shen Zhonglei, it was impossible for him to let Mrs. Shen control his only son.
Ping Niang was surprised when she heard this. Did the master really have a falling out with the old lady?
Otherwise, a big girl wouldn't say such a thing, right?
However, after so many things, Ping Niang is now very convinced of Shen Tianshu.
I also know that if she hadn't been sure of it, she wouldn't have said such a thing.
Most of the worry in Pingniang's eyes disappeared in an instant, and she said with a smile: "With the words of a big girl, I feel relieved."
"Go back and tell Yun Hui, and remember to warn the servants on both sides.
"The elder has been in poor health these past few days, and the old lady is in an even worse mood. Dad's side...
"Oh, anyway, just stay safe and don't cause trouble!"
Ping Niang quickly responded: "Yes, don't worry, eldest lady, it's not our turn to intervene in family matters.
"Moreover, the third girl and the concubine in the body are all honest people, and there is absolutely no one who dares to cause trouble."
At this point, Shen Tianshu is still relieved about Ping Niang.
I just told him because I was afraid that she would start to drift off now that she gave birth to Shen Zhonglei's son.
If you insist on getting involved at this juncture, you are really asking for death.
After Ping Niang left, Shen Tianshu waited for a while. Seeing that it was almost dinner time, there was still no movement from Mrs. Shen, so she decided to take the initiative to go over and see what was going on.
Unexpectedly, she brought Xie Yun to Mrs. Shen's yard, but failed.
Grandma Li said: "Miss, you came at an unfortunate time. The master is not feeling well, and the old lady has been guarding him over there!"
"Uncle, are you feeling unwell again?" Shen Tianshu asked with concern, "Then I..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Grandma Li: "Why don't you go back first? When the old lady comes back, I will definitely tell her that you have been here."
Mr. Shen's current mental illness is probably more serious than his physical illness. Looking at Shen Tianshu's face, how dare Nanny Li let her go visit him again.
If something unpleasant happens again, the house will never be the same again.
Shen Tianshu naturally understood her concerns, but he still pretended not to know, and said worriedly: "As a junior, I don't think I can justify not visiting, right?"
"Miss, just believe me. The master needs to rest now. The old lady has told me not to disturb him.
"Don't worry, I'll send someone to tell you if anything happens."
"Okay, then I'll go back first." Shen Tianshu nodded hesitantly, "I hope my uncle can get better soon. I heard that my father didn't even eat at noon today. I must be worried about my uncle's health.
"Mama Li, please try to persuade the old lady more so that she doesn't break her body."
"That's what the eldest lady said." Grandma Li nodded repeatedly, "I must persuade the old lady more."
Seeing Shen Tianshu finally leaving with the maid, Grandma Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from her forehead and sighed in her heart.
It took a lot of effort to get Mother Jiang and her daughter away, but before they could live a good life, things happened one after another at home. It was really a bad year.
Thinking of this, Grandma Li's heart moved slightly, and an idea came to her mind.
In the evening, after Old Mrs. Shen came back from Mr. Shen's room, while Nanny Li was helping her wash and change clothes, she cautiously said: "Old lady, there has been so much unrest at home recently. Could it be that there was a collision?" Or have you encountered any obstacles?
"It will be fifteen in a few days. Why don't we go to the temple to pay our respects and see if we can change our fortunes?"
Mrs. Shen immediately listened to these words.
Indeed, when she was in her hometown, she would go to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha almost every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month.
But after arriving in Wuchang Mansion, I haven’t been there for some time.
Could it be that the Bodhisattva really blamed it?
Thinking of her current relationship with Shen Zhonglei again, Mrs. Shen had an even greater headache.
How to repair the relationship between mother and son? Is it possible to get back together?
She also felt that she should go to the temple to ask for a fortune teller and ask the master for guidance.
Moreover, the way the boss is acting now, rather than being sick, he seems to be possessed by something.
At the next opportunity, I would take him to the temple to stay for a while, so that I can temporarily separate the brothers and avoid conflicts later.
Secondly, now the temple is obviously more suitable for Mr. Shen to rest than the Shen family.
Thirdly, she wanted to ask an eminent monk to show the boss a look and find a way to crack it, and maybe the person would get better by then.
Seeing that Mrs. Shen didn't speak for a long time, Grandma Li was panicked, worried that she had said the wrong thing again.
Fortunately, in the end, Mrs. Shen finally nodded slightly and said, "What you said reminded me to ask someone to get ready. In three days, the whole family will go to Tian'en Temple together."
After giving the instructions, she added: "If the second brother doesn't want to go, just let him go. He's in a bad mood, so don't mess with him for the next few days."
