When Shen Ziqiao returned to Qiaoxinyuan, Hongyu and Hongying hurried up to greet her, looking at her worriedly.
"Miss San, are you alright?" Hongyu looked her up and down, for fear that she would be hurt again by Hongyu.
"It's alright, it's alright." Shen Ziqiao jumped twice, expressing that she was alright.
Hongyu patted her heart, "Miss San, you are really frightening to death. Seeing you being carried back, this servant thought... you can't be so scary in the future."
Shen Ziqiao laughed loudly, "I just didn't want to be punished to stand, but I didn't expect to be stepped on by that old lady Li, it hurt me to death, I remember her."
Hongying took Shen Ziqiao's hand and examined it, and said distressedly, "Not only stepped on it, but also secretly pinched it several times, Miss San, this servant will definitely avenge you."
"Good boy." Shen Ziqiao touched Hongying's head emotionally.
The three master and servant entered the inner room one after the other, and Hongying came out and stood by the door after a while, stopping Ping'er who wanted to deliver tea to Shen Ziqiao.
Shen Ziqiao and Hongyu are talking.
"... They are all placed in another courtyard outside the city. That is where the young master belongs. The old lady doesn't even know about it. Miss San, don't worry, they will be fine when the young master is back." Hongyu said in a low voice. .
The room was silent, only rustling voices, if you don't listen carefully, you don't know what you are talking about.
"I thought it was my villainous heart, but I didn't expect the old woman to be able to do it. Let people go in the middle of the night... to silence her." Shen Ziqiao still couldn't believe it. She grew up so old, and the worst thing she did was when she was a child. In the country, she secretly took chicken manure and put it in the teacup of the grumpy old man next door, and she was beaten up.
Killing people to silence her... She never dared to think about such a thing, the old woman actually wanted to kill someone in order to covet her daughter-in-law's dowry.
Hongyu whispered, "Fortunately, Miss San, you have the foresight to tell Mrs. Meng that if the old lady sends someone there, she will leave the village immediately after beating them away."
Not that she was prescient. I just feel that life is full of blood everywhere, just in case it is better.
What if it happened.
If Shen Xiao and his son hadn't just come back, maybe the old woman would force her to tell the whereabouts of Lady Meng and the others regardless of her life or death.
"I don't know how Madam Meng and the others are doing." Shen Ziqiao rubbed the center of her brows, every step of her supporting role is so difficult, where is the golden finger? Where is the cheat
"Miss San, I have to go to the old lady's for dinner later, why don't I wash up first, the young master is back, and the young master is responsible for everything." Hongyu felt that Shen Zikai was there. No problem.
Shen Ziqiao didn't dare to think so, it wasn't that she didn't trust Shen Zikai, she was worried that this good brother would be seduced by Sheng Peiyin. Not so sincere to her sister.
She remembered very clearly that Shen Zikai was the first to be ruined by Sheng Peiyin, otherwise how could Shen Zikai agree to let his sister marry a fool.
If she guessed that Sheng Peiyin approached Shen Zikai because of Pan's dowry, she was right... When Shen Ziqiao thought of the various complicated schemes she was about to face, she wanted to scratch the wall irritably.
It's so tiring to fight at home or something.
Even when she was taking a bath, Shen Ziqiao was thinking about how to improve her combat attributes. To put it bluntly, she is just a novice at home, if she wants to survive, she can only rely on her own efforts.
Just after tidying up, Ping'er reported outside that it was the young master who came.
Shen Ziqiao rushed out to greet her.
"Brother!" Shen Ziqiao looked at this handsome sunny guy with a smile. After washing away the dust and dust all over her body, she changed into a straight gown of azure-colored silk, making her look fresh and clean.
"Come here. Sit down." With a straight face, Shen Zikai walked to the first seat in the hall and sat down, pointing to the chair next to him to ask Shen Ziqiao to come over.
With just the right amount of guilt and timidity on Shen Ziqiao's face, she walked over obediently, ready to listen to instructions cautiously.
Hongyu tactfully pulled Hongying out to guard the gate.
"You tell it yourself. What's going on?" Shen Zikai was annoyed and funny when he saw his sister like this.
"Brother, where do you want me to start?" Shen Ziqiao touched the tip of her nose. Just now Mrs. Shen recounted the bad things she had done in the past six months in front of their father and son, even she felt ashamed when she heard it.
The key is that several brain-dead things have nothing to do with her.
Shen Zikai glanced at her, "Don't worry about what happened before, tell me what's going on with Mrs. Meng and the others?"
This is the most important thing! Shen Ziqiao immediately cheered up, "Brother, I know everything, Mrs. Meng has already told me everything."
Shen Ziqiao will be driven to the Zhuangzi by the old lady, and she will tell Shen Zikai when she meets Mrs. Meng and others, including how she knew there was a dowry.
"... Did you know from the beginning that my mother left so many things for me? That's why you put Mrs. Meng and the others in Liuyunzhuang?" After Shen Ziqiao finished speaking, her mouth was already parched, and she picked up the high table and let it cool down. took a sip of tea.
Shen Zikai lowered his eyelids, picked up the teacup, "Jiaojiao, you didn't believe what the servants said before, why did you believe it this time?"
"I trust mother." Shen Ziqiao said.
She actually hesitated whether to trust Shen Zikai, after all, Shen Zikai might have betrayed her younger sister for Sheng Peiyin, but besides Shen Zikai, she no longer knew of anyone who could help her.
Do you rely on Shen Xiao? Shen Xiao is not the only daughter of her, his affection for her is only his longing for his dead wife, and longing will disappear.
Only Shen Zikai and her are the closest relatives.
In any case, if she wanted to stop Sheng Peiyin from seducing Shen Zikai, she must raise Shen Zikai into a twenty-four filial brother.
Shen Zikai smiled when he heard Shen Ziqiao's answer, "I can't even recognize you as Jiaojiao."
It's only been half a year, so much has changed.
"Brother, I... I just don't want to disappoint my mother." Shen Ziqiao laughed a few times, but it can't be said that she is not the real Shen Ziqiao.
Shen Zikai stood up and straightened his clothes, "I'll take care of Mrs. Meng's affairs. As for how to get back the dowry... Jiaojiao, I have to talk to my father about it. If he thinks it's okay to put it with the old lady, we'll think about it later." Another way."
The implication is that Shen Zikai also thinks that Pan's dowry cannot be kept by that old woman
Shen Ziqiao nodded happily. She had a hunch that in the end, the Pan family from Dongyue would need to come forward to make Mrs. Shen hand over Pan's dowry.
The two brothers and sisters walked to De'an Hospital together.
"Brother, you are not young, isn't it time to find me a sister-in-law this time?" Shen Ziqiao walked beside Shen Zikai affectionately, and asked with a smile.
Shen Zikai bent his fingers and tapped her head, "Aren't you afraid that I will be robbed by my sister-in-law?"
"Brother loves me the most, so I'm not afraid." Shen Ziqiao took Shen Zikai's arm, smiling flatteringly.
"Ghosts." Shen Zikai smiled and shook his head.
When they came to De'an Courtyard, other people had already arrived and were talking with Mrs. Shen. The smile on Mrs. Shen's face sank when she saw Shen Ziqiao.
Shen Ziqiao didn't seem to notice anything, and after greeting her respectfully, she sat aside.
Not long after, Shen Xiao came, and the family seemed to have a harmonious and warm reunion dinner.
Mrs. Shen didn't ask the other two aunts to serve Bucai, but only asked Aunt Gao to serve Shen Xiao, which meant a lot, anyone with a little brain would know what was going on.
Unfortunately, facing Aunt Gao's enthusiasm, Shen Xiao's reaction was a bit cold.
After dinner, Shen Xiao talked with the old lady, but after a few words, Old Shen said that she was tired and told everyone to go back.
With a shy and charming face, Aunt Gao followed Shen Xiao out.
After waiting at home for half a year, the dry fields needed rain and dew to moisten. Aunt Gao's eyes were full of affection. If there were no juniors present, she might have already attached Shen Xiao.
"Jiaojiao." Shen Xiao didn't seem to see the hint of Aunt Gao's enthusiasm, Shen Sheng called Shen Ziqiao who was walking last.
"Ah?" Shen Ziqiao raised her head in a daze.
"Follow me to the study." Shen Xiao said lightly.
Aunt Gao's delicately made-up face flushed instantly, and a look of embarrassment and embarrassment appeared in her eyes.
Shen Ziyang turned his head and glared at Shen Ziqiao.
"Father?" Shen Zikai looked at Shen Xiao in surprise.
"You come too." Shen Xiao said.
The remaining three children watched Shen Ziqiao brother and sister leave with Shen Xiao jealously.
"Father wants to teach Third Sister a lesson, right?" Shen Zifen bit her lip and said, she was actually unwilling because she was a concubine, so she didn't get Shen Xiao's attention.
In terms of character and appearance, how can she not compare to Shen Ziqiao
Shen Ziwen sneered, "When did you see your father teach the third sister a lesson?"
Father can only defend Shen Ziqiao, only when he is facing Shen Ziqiao, father is like a real father.
Aunt Gao's face turned blue and then pale, she turned her head and glared at them, "You can discuss what your father is doing? Don't go back to your own room!"
Shen Ziwen and Shen Zifen left angrily.
"Mother." Shen Ziyang looked at the direction Shen Xiao left with a gloomy expression, "Jiaojiao must have done it on purpose."
"That bitch!" Aunt Gao cursed angrily in a low voice, like this every time! As if deliberately against her, he snatched the master away every time at a critical moment.
"Mother, father just came back. I want to hear that Jiaojiao got into trouble. This is to teach her a lesson. The future will be long... Father will think of you." Shen Ziyang saw his biological mother's face changed greatly with anger, and he hurriedly comforted her in a low voice.
Aunt Gao wrung her handkerchief, "Brother Yang, if your father marries again and fills in the house, we, mother and son, will be even more deprived of status."
Shen Xiao didn't love her too much, she couldn't be more clear about this, if the new wife came in as powerful as Mrs Pan, what would she... what should she do
"No, mother, definitely not." Shen Ziyang held Aunt Gao's hand, but he was not so confident in his heart.
In his father's mind, couldn't he be compared to Jiaojiao who was always getting into trouble
"Let Jiaojiao get married as soon as possible, and the family will be peaceful." Shen Ziyang said to Aunt Gao.
Aunt Gao's eyes flashed, she remembered something, and looked at the gate of the De'an Academy.
(The state is very bad, hey.)
