Mrs. Shen couldn't help but let out all the grievances she had suffered over the past few years, and she was choked with sobs for a moment.
Su Yao held her hand and patted her back gently with a gentle expression, just like how Mrs. Shen treated her when she was a child.
Aunt He couldn't help but be moved by this scene. She turned her head to glance at her mother, and she didn't know what to feel for a moment. She had heard that Su Yao had been well-behaved and obedient in the past few years.
Since he is so sensible, he must know that meeting the Shen couple is already a very difficult matter to explain to the third branch of the Su family in Beijing. Even the He family's attitude must be biased towards the Su family.
She just met him and was so enthusiastic with Mrs. Shen, which risked being disliked by both the He and Su families.
But Su Yao seemed unaware of this. She came openly without any intention of hiding anything.
It has to be said that Aunt He thinks that Su Yao is much more pleasing to the eye than the well-behaved and sensible shadow that Mrs. He mentioned. A person is considered a human being only if he has seven emotions and six desires. Otherwise, no matter how well he learns the rules or how standard his etiquette is, he is just a puppet. What's the fun in that
She coughed and smiled to break the silence in the air: "Yaoyao is a child with a conscience. Mrs. Shen, please stop crying. When you cry, Yaoyao will feel uncomfortable too. Even if we see it, we will feel bad..."
Mrs. Shen reluctantly let go of Su Yao's hand, hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and forced a smile.
Mrs. He waved her hand and asked Su Yao to sit down in front of her. She put her arm around Su Yao and touched her hair before she spoke slowly to Mrs. Shen.
Talking about Su Yao's childhood, Mrs. Shen became excited: "She was obedient since she was young. Although our family is a little better than ordinary people, we don't have many rules. Yaoyao knew how to be considerate of us since she was young. Her father and I..." She quickly changed her words: "My master and I went out to do business, and she stayed at home alone with her wet nurse. She was just over two years old at that time, and she didn't cry or make a fuss..."
Mrs. Shen couldn't help but shed tears. "Then I got pregnant again. Something happened to a batch of goods. The master was away dealing with it. I went into labor all of a sudden. The nurse only cared about me, leaving her alone in the room. When she woke up, she was nowhere to be found. She sat on the steps and cried until her voice was hoarse. In her hand, she was still holding the rag doll I made..."
Mrs. He's eyes darkened, and her hands holding Su Yao trembled slightly.
She never mentioned a word about the hardships Su Yao had gone through.
In the new environment, no one cared whether she was afraid or not, no one asked whether she had adapted to it or not. She accepted it quietly and calmly. In order to fit in to this environment and to please her new family, she had already tried her best.
But even with all her efforts, her path didn't get any smoother.
This girl has had a tragic life. Before she even comes to the capital, she is already an obstacle in the eyes of some people... If she is allowed to go to the capital like this, she will be surrounded by servants with ulterior motives who may explode at any time, and there will be an adopted sister in the Bo's Mansion who is eyeing her covetously. All the family members are relatives except her.
Except for her youngest one.
Mrs. He closed her eyes.
On the other side, He Er Niangniang, who heard about this, was also shocked. She stared at Zijing's face in the mirror, frowned and looked a little suspicious: "Madam invited the Shen family couple to come to the house? Is there any mistake?"
Isn't this crazy? Everyone knows what kind of person her sister-in-law is. If she knew about this, wouldn't she be furious
Wang helped her put on the last pearl flower gently, smiled and handed her a mercury target mirror, then she told her about Mrs. He's outburst.
Only then did Second Madam He understand the whole matter.
So that's how it is. She laughed sarcastically and said with some disdain, "What the hell, he is just a nobody. Look at this cuckoo taking over the magpie's nest. He is so excited that he can think of such a dirty trick. He wants to kill him before he even goes back. I think that what he said about raising him like a precious treasure and being pure is all fake. This guy is really cruel."
Second Madam He is not the kind of person who is easily influenced by others. Madam Sang is so greedy and greedy that she tempts her master to make mistakes. She does not consider herself as Su Yao's servant, but instead acts like Su Yao's own mother and living ancestor. With this kind of behavior, Madam Su San would never treat her own daughter like this, unless she is crazy.
Then there is only one possibility left - Nanny Sang was ordered by someone else.
The person who didn't want Su Yao to go back to compete for favor and who wanted to cause trouble before Su Yao entered the capital so that Su Yao would be disliked by his own parents before he even went back, you can guess who it is with your eyes closed.
Although he is young, he is quite smart.
But this had nothing to do with her. Second Madam He never liked to meddle in other people's business, especially her sister-in-law's business. She just grunted lightly and was about to get up when she saw another housekeeper in her room, Mama Zou, standing at the curtain with a smile on her face. She bent down and called her "Second Madam".
He Er Niangniang originally sent her to look after He Erye's luggage, so she asked her when she saw this: "Are all the things ready?"
Madam Zou responded, and when she saw Second Madam He turned around the curtain, she hurried forward to lend a hand, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Madam, I've taken care of everything. There is just one more thing. I heard that a lot of trouble happened at the cousin's place today. The cousin herself was reluctant to leave her adoptive parents and wanted to see them. She sent someone to go, but the Madam and the eldest Madam found out, and they pushed the responsibility onto the servants... Madam Sang was at least a capable servant in front of her, and she was sent by the aunt. She is so ignorant. I'm afraid that when she returns to the capital, the aunt will think that we indulged the cousin and punished the servants of the Su family..."
Wang stood still and glanced at Mother Zou when she heard the words.
Mother Zou pretended not to see it. When she saw Second Madam He stopped walking, she lowered her voice and said, "Second Madam, if you take this opportunity to ask Madam for help, then the aunt will also be grateful to you, right?"
Second Madam He paused and suddenly sneered, "It must be because you have been with people like Madam Sang for too long that you can actually be my master!"
She was furious.
If she hadn't already found out that even the eldest grandmother had been blamed by the Madam for this matter, what kind of person would she be in the Madam's eyes if she went up to a Madam Sang and begged for mercy? !
Perhaps the Madam should think that she had received some benefits from the capital, and that it was her people who were helping Nanny Sang to squeeze Su Yao!
Mother Zou was stunned. She didn't know why Second Grandma He suddenly got so angry.
What's going on
Didn’t the girl Zhenzhu say that it was because Su had asked Nanny Sang to act as a middleman for the Shen couple that was discovered, and that’s why the Madam got angry
If that’s the case, why does Second Madam He’s tone contain such disgust towards Madam Sang
