Although Shen Shuyan's wet nurse tried her best to cover her up, after coaxing her back to her room, she went out to find other people to take care of her one by one. However, there are many people with mixed opinions, and it is impossible to keep secrets.
When Wei Changying woke up the next morning, he found that Mr. He who was guarding the bedside had a strange look on his face. She suddenly thought of her son and was shocked! He quickly stood up and asked about his second son.
Mrs. He came up to serve her and told her that everything was fine with her fourth grandson. However, Wei Changying still insisted on having his son brought to him to see for himself. He was relieved when he saw the newly fed baby lying in the swaddling clothes with his eyes closed, sleeping soundly. He asked the wet nurse to continue taking the person back, and then asked He: "Looking at aunt's face, it seems like something happened?"
"Hey, this maid is just a fool!" Hearing this, Mrs. He realized why Chief Wei had to see her son in person. She couldn't help but touch her face and said awkwardly, "Originally, Sister Huang said... She came to tell the young lady, but the maid saw that Sister Huang had been guarding the young lady all night, and was afraid that she would not be able to survive, so she insisted on replacing her. She did not expect that the maid could not save anything, and the young lady was frightened... "
"Auntie!" Wei Changying asked suspiciously, "What happened?"
Mrs. He asked everyone else to go out first, then she approached the couch in a low voice and told Shen Shuyan that she didn't want a younger brother. After hearing this, even though Wei Changying had always loved his niece very much, he couldn't help but move slightly. Angry, he said: "This child is so ignorant! Even if she is afraid that she will have a younger brother, my aunt has neglected her. Just say it like this, I also understand her previous experience! How come she cursed all her younger brothers? ! Does she think that having only Shu Ming as her brother will make things easier for her in the future? "
Wei Changying believed that he had fulfilled his aunt's responsibility to Shen Shuyan no matter when he was in the imperial capital after passing through the family or when he came to Xiliang. Especially in the past year in Xiliang, all the thoughts and care for his eldest son Shen Shuguang have been devoted to Shen Shuyan. It turned out that this niece was lucky. She was not happy to have another son, so she took the lead and said, "It would be best not to have a younger brother." Wouldn't this curse all the male grandsons of the Shen family except Shen Shuming? !
If it were a more narrow-minded elder, wouldn't there be a deadly feud? Apart from other things, if this word reaches the imperial capital, Shen Shuyan's biological parents will be the first to be unable to spare her!
Shen Lianshi had been looking forward to the birth of his eldest son for so many years, but it was too late to love him like a city treasure. Even though he was scolded by Shen Xuan and Mrs. Su before, he felt guilty for neglecting his daughter for the sake of his son, but... Shen Shuyan is not yet Were you sent to Xiliang to relax
In Shen Lianshi's mind, a daughter, even a daughter who has been known as a child prodigy since she was a child, is definitely not as important as her son!
As a result, Shen Shuyan became jealous and cursed Shen Shuyi. It would be strange for Shen Lian, who was so eager to have her daughter, to spare her daughter lightly!
Even Shen Xuan and Mrs. Su, who had protected their granddaughter before, would definitely not be happy if they knew that their granddaughter actually hated their grandchildren in order to compete for favor. After all, the Shen family now has no shortage of granddaughters. Although the eldest grandson, second grandson, and third grandson do not have the talent and talent of Shen Shuyan, who is not a gentle, gentle, talented and beautiful lady? The glory that Shen Shuyan's name as a child prodigy brought to the Shen family was ultimately just dispensable to Shen Xuan and his wife - the male grandson was the foundation of the family.
Wei Changying's face was as dark as water, and Mrs. He also sighed: "I thought that Miss Fourth Grandson was just a little delicate, and she was hurt by the Second Young Master and the Second Young Madam, and she would be easily offended by her younger brothers and sisters. But I didn't think that Fourth Grandson was just a bit delicate. Miss... Miss Fourth Grandson is really too much! Even though the birth of the Third Grandson made her suffer a lot, what did the two Grandsons in our room do to her? The second grandson has treated the fourth grandson badly! Not to mention that our fourth grandson has just been born and the fourth grandson has not even met him yet!”
"... It's my fault to say the least. My husband reminded me repeatedly before that this child was too jealous and wanted me to discipline her. It's just that I thought she was young and had suffered a lot of grievances because of Yi'er earlier, so every time She refused every time, but she didn't want to let her go." Wei Changying's face changed for a moment, but he finally sighed and said, "Now that I have to confine myself, it's hard to call her here. You... go back and talk to Aunt Huang and let her talk some sense into you!"
After all, she is her husband’s biological niece, and she is only so old. Although her speech is really not good, she can only ignore it...
Moreover, Wei Changying also knew that Shen Shuyan might not have such evil thoughts. He was afraid that the young niece himself did not know what he meant by saying this. Being an elder always requires some tolerance.
So after being disappointed, she could only endure it.
After thinking about it, he told Mr. He: "The child is not sensible, just teach her a lesson later. Keep an eye on the servants and don't let this word get out! Don't treat Yan'er badly because of this, you know?"
In Xiliang, with the two elders Wei Changying and Shen Zangzhu protecting her, no matter how much the rest of the Shen family thought about Shen Shuyan, there was nothing they could do to her. But if this word spreads to the imperial capital, there might be a big fuss... The fourth grandson born to Shen Shuguang, Shen Shuyi and Wei Zhang Yingcai is still young, so it is impossible that he will not have headaches and fever in the future. If Shen Shuyan's words were known to those in the imperial capital, she might be blamed if someone provoked her.
This girl will definitely have a hard time by then.
Wei Changying thought about the relationship between aunt and nephew and didn't want to worry about anything, but He was a little unhappy. He didn't say anything in front of Wei Changying and just followed her permission. After going out, when in private with Mr. Huang, he must tell the truth: "Miss Fourth Grandson is so unruly. Did the two young masters in our room provoke her? Poor Fourth Grandson, he was beaten by Fourth Grandson just after he landed. The young lady is under a spell... The young lady asked Sister Huang to take some time to talk to Miss Sisun. Sister Huang, you have to give her a good beating! Don't think that the young men in our room are easy to bully because they are younger than her! "
After hearing this, Mrs. Huang smiled faintly and said: "Sister He, you are really confused. This Miss Fourth Grandson is not the flesh and blood of our Young Madam and Young Master. That is Miss Sun, the second wife. The younger brother she mentioned is not her cousin. , how can you curse the young master in our room?"
Mr. He was startled and said, "Didn't she say that just because our fourth grandson was born?"
"Strictly speaking, our fourth grandson is just being implicated by our third grandson." Huang said lightly, "Miss fourth grandson is not raised in our third room. How many young masters do we have in our third room? We should not treat her badly." What does it have to do with it? It is the male heir of the second wife who really makes Miss Fourth Grandson’s status drop, isn’t it? Miss Fourth Grandson said these things just because she had suffered a loss due to the birth of Young Master Fourth, for fear that after the birth of Young Master Fourth, Our young lady’s presence will be the same as before in the second room.”
Mr. He frowned: "Come on! I'm just saying that our third child is having a baby. What does it have to do with her? Why does she say it's okay if she doesn't have a brother?"
"Young Madam has already said that the child's family is not sensible. It is difficult for us, many adults, and Young Madam, an elder, to embarrass a fourth grandson who is less than ten years old?" Huang said, "Especially now, the Lord, Madam, the Second Young Master, and the Second Young Madam are all not here. Even if the Young Madam just said something to Miss Fourth Grandson and spread the news, it might become the story that our third room has done something to Miss Fourth Grandson! Besides, Sister He! It's not like you haven't heard about what Miss Fourth Grandson did when she was in the imperial capital. This master went on a hunger strike for several days and was not afraid of death! The second young master and the second young lady were her biological parents, and they were troubled by her! If we have to step down, we need to ask the boss and his wife to settle the matter. Why should we mess with her?"
Then he said, "It's not a big deal, and so are you. For such an old man, if he hadn't been dragging it with Jiang Shiwei for these few years, his children would be almost as old as Miss Sisun, and he would have to live with a little kid. Do you care?"
"I just feel sorry for the two young gentlemen in our room..."
"After all, our young lady is not of flesh and blood, why are you worrying about her?" After hearing the previous words, Mr. He thought that Mr. Huang didn't care about a child. Only after hearing this sentence did he realize that Mr. Huang didn't care about Shen at all. Shu Yan took it to heart, so she was indifferent, "She is too much, she is not sensible, and she will have a second wife later to have a headache. I told you, she is not our young lady's biological daughter. Whether she will live well in the future is none of our business?" What we should do is to serve the young lady and the fourth grandson!"
Mrs. He couldn't help but said: "Then if Sister Huang said so, how are you going to reason with Miss Si Sun later?" Shen Shuyan couldn't bear the harsh words, and it also seemed that Wei Changying, the aunt, was unkind and said lightly. It means I didn’t say anything. It’s no wonder that such an errand must be handed over to the thoughtful Huang family.
Huang said with a smile: "Just coax her not to say anything she shouldn't say in the future. At least not to say anything in Xiliang... As for waiting for her to return to the imperial capital! That is the matter of the second young lady, and the three of us What does the room have to do with it?”
She said so and she did so.
At first, Shen Shuyan was very disgusted when she heard Huang Lai warn her not to say she didn't want her brother in the future, and said: "Why can't I say it? What I say is true."
Huang said with a smile: "What you said, Miss Fourth Grandson, is indeed true, but have you ever thought about it, Miss Fourth Grandson? You are very happy about what you said, but after hearing this, the eldest lady and the third young lady, But how sad is it?”
Hearing this, Shen Shuyan was stunned for a moment. Huang only thought that the jealous fourth grandson would become even more unreasonable after being stunned. She was already prepared for her next words and didn't want Shen Shuyan to follow but she bit her tongue. He pressed his lips together and said nothing for a long time.
After a long while, Shen Shuyan whispered: "I just don't like my brothers. I didn't want my eldest aunt and third aunt to be unhappy."
My young lady did not hurt Miss Fourth Grandson in vain... Huang thought so in her heart, and said calmly on her face: "The eldest lady and the Third Young Lady also know that Miss Fourth Grandson has always been a sensible and kind-hearted person. My child, I think it was Miss Fourth Grandson who said what I came to. At this moment, Third Young Master has ordered her to be silenced, and no one is allowed to mention it in the future. But Miss Fourth Grandson, you have to keep your mouth shut and don’t say such things again. . Otherwise, it won’t do much harm to the eldest lady and the third young lady. The one who will be harmed most is you, the fourth grandson!”
Shen Shuyan didn't really listen to these words. It wasn't that she didn't agree, but that she was a little distracted after knowing that her words made Shen Zangzhu and Wei Changying sad. After all, she had been living with these two elders for the past year, and both of them treated her as if they were their own children and loved her extremely much.
In particular, Wei Changying felt bored in the ancestral hall because of her. Although Shen Shuxi's body began to recover at that time, it was not as strong and smooth as it is now, and it did not attract her interest in becoming a teacher. For this reason, Wei Changying He specially discussed with Shen Zangfeng and took her to Diecuiguan for a tour. Shen Die'er and Shen Qianqian, the playmates that Wei Changying specially found for her before, came to the ancestral hall several times after she came back from Diecuiguan to play with her.
Although she looked down on these two clan sisters who were "ignorant and incompetent", Shen Shuxi was not very eloquent, and there were times when she was impatient when teaching her all the time. So I met and chatted with the two clan sisters several times. I heard that she was specially taken to Diecuiguan to play. The two clan sisters were very envious. They said that they were born and raised in Xiliang and knew that the scenery of Diecuiguan was pleasant. , but because she was a woman, she was never allowed to take a look.
As for the elders specially taking them to play, I have never thought about it, let alone mentioned it. And Shen Shuyan herself didn't mention it, so Wei Changying just thought about it for her. That time, Shen Die'er and Shen Qianqian both said with complicated expressions: "Sister Yan, Third Aunt really loves you so much that it hurts her heart!"
Looking back, the two clan sisters thought that their third aunt loved them deeply, but what about themselves? When she was at Diecuiguan, she had an quarrel with her aunt over the red horse "Chi Yan", and her aunt discovered she was pregnant on the way back. Even so, after returning to Xiliang City, her aunt still doted on her as before... In fact, her aunt was more affectionate than her uncle. Indulging her, Shen Shuyan is young and not very sensible, but she is very sensitive to who treats her well.
Therefore, although this girl is deeply wary of her brothers, she also attaches great importance to her aunt and uncle. At this moment, I heard that I didn't like my brothers and had hurt their hearts. I was worried and terrified.
Mrs. Huang took in all her expressions and thought to herself that this Miss Fourth Grandson was indeed as rumored. She was extremely talented in literary matters, inferior to even adults; but in terms of human sophistication, she was far inferior to her cousins. , is simply a blank sheet of paper, without any cover-up - but she is still a jealous and competitive character!
Just as there are gains, there are losses.
However, whether Shen Shuyan is pure or deceitful, Huang doesn't care - in the Shen family, she is only loyal to Wei Changying and Wei Changying's biological flesh and blood. As for the daughter of the second wife who has no blood relationship with Wei Changying, Huang was ordered to come here to remind her. She used hard and soft tactics to make Shen Shuyan remember not to say bad things about her brothers in the future. He got up and left. (To be continued)
