"If you have something to say, what are you doing kneeling around!" Wei Junhang frowned.
Lian Xiang didn't dare to get up, she kowtowed several times towards him, and then said in a choked voice: "I beg your son to be merciful, forgive my younger brother Zhuzi this time, don't throw him out of the house!"
Wei Junhang was dumbfounded: "Who is Zhuzi? Who wants him... What mistakes did he make to be kicked out?"
I wanted to ask 'Who is going to kick him out', but when I was about to speak, I suddenly remembered that my wife seemed to be cleaning up the inner courtyard recently, and after a detour, it turned into 'He made a mistake and got kicked out'.
The two different sentences have completely different meanings. The latter way of asking is even more bluntly showing the justice of my wife's actions. You must have made a mistake to drive you out!
Lianxiang is not a fool, even though Wei Junhang didn't complete what he said, she could understand it, her heart sank, and she suddenly felt that it was really a mistake for her to beg for this situation.
Will Shizi really refute Mrs. Shizi's decision and forgive her brother for her sake
"What are you doing? Why didn't you answer the question? What did that Zhuzi do wrong and was kicked out?" After waiting for a long time for her answer, Wei Shizi was dissatisfied, and his face immediately sank.
Lianxiang shuddered and lowered her head even lower. At this moment, she only wished that she never came this time, but she might not be able to redeem the water that was spilled by what she said.
"The day before yesterday, Zhuzi was dragged to eat wine by some incompetent boys in the outer courtyard. Zhuzi couldn't shirk it, so he drank two glasses. He wanted to go back to work, but he didn't expect those people to insist on it. Let's roll a dice. Zhuzi couldn't get out of his body, so he wanted to deal with it a few times before leaving, but he never expected that Wang Momo would bring people to patrol the courtyard in just such a short time... "
Speaking of the latter, her voice became smaller and lower, and her head lowered lower and lower.
Although she was vague and intentionally downplayed her younger brother's fault, Wei Junhang is not an idiot, so he could hear that her words were biased, and he frowned: "So, your younger brother was punished by Mother Wang for drinking and gambling while on duty. Mammy brought someone to arrest her, so she was expelled from the errand?"
Lianxiang's face turned pale, she hung her head in embarrassment, her heart was even more messed up, and she was a little incoherent: "Zhu, Zhuzi, he, he has always been diligent in doing things, never, never did, and made mistakes. Slaves, slaves, never ask for help. Dear son, I beg him to see, for the sake of servants who have always served him faithfully, then, let him be spared this time!"
After finishing speaking, he kowtowed again in a 'dong dong dong' manner.
However, if she looked up at the person in front of her, she would find that the other person's face became more displeased.
"Stop talking too much. If you make a mistake, you will be punished. This is a matter of course. If you have nothing else to report, then go down!" Wei Juanhang flicked his sleeves at her, unwilling to listen to her anymore.
"Yes..." Although Lianxiang was a little unwilling, she still remembered her identity and didn't dare to make any further entanglements, so she talked about other things as soon as the conversation changed.
"After Dongmei, Layue, and Xiaocui were transferred away a few days ago, although the new girls are honest, they are not as quick as the three of them. As a result, the manpower is a bit tight recently. The servant thought, for a while The meeting is to train the newcomers, I am afraid that the newcomers may not be able to get started immediately, can we transfer Dongmei and the others back for the time being, and wait for the new girls..."
"You should go back to Mrs. Shizi about this matter, and Madam will decide." Wei Junhang was impatient to hear these trivial matters, and directly blocked her words.
Lianxiang's heart was cold.
Dongmei Layue had been serving her longer than her, and she still ended up like this in the end. How could she feel that she was different at the beginning
Shizi's wife is fine if she doesn't make a move, but once she makes a move, she will act so vigorously and resolutely. Those few people's thoughts on Shizi in the past may have already fallen into the eyes of Shizi's wife, and they will take care of them only when the right time is right.
In fact, Shen Xinyan had been waiting for Wei Junhang's attitude all along. The waiter around him suddenly changed into a new face. He couldn't have been unaware, but he didn't say anything all the time, which made Shen Xinyan a little confused about what he was thinking.
Until the next day, Wei Junhang held an exquisite brocade box and handed it in front of her, his eyes sparkled, full of anticipation.
Shen Xinyan was confused by his scorching gaze: "This, what is this?"
Wei Junhang didn't answer but said, "Open it quickly and see if you like it?"
Shen Xinyan had no choice but to open the brocade box obediently. When the phoenix hairpin inlaid with emerald jewels lying on the flannel came into view, she was rarely stunned.
"This, is this for, for me?"
"Yes, yes! Do you like it? If, if you don't like it, it doesn't matter, I can take it back and exchange it." Wei Junhang stammered and replied a little uncomfortable being looked at by her.
Shen Xinyan stared at him for a long time, so long that the eldest son, who had always been heartless and careless, was in a state of turmoil. Finally, when he was about to be unable to resist, he saw her suddenly burst into an unusually bright smile.
"I like it, I like it very much, thank you son!"
"That, that, that, that's it." The big tongue son wanted to look away from that face that made his heart beat faster like a kid, but he couldn't bear it.
After all, this was the first time that she showed that kind of smile in front of him again since she first met among the flowers back then.
"Help me put it on?" Shen Xinyan took the hairpin and compared it to the bronze mirror, and asked softly when she looked back at someone who was still in a daze.
"Oh, good, good!" Wei Junhang finally came back to his senses, hurried forward, took the phoenix hairpin, compared a suitable position to the cloud-like high bun, and then inserted it carefully.
"Okay, okay."
Shen Xinyan looked at him in the bronze mirror with a smile: "Thank you, my lord!"
"Ma'am, you're welcome." Wei Junhang laughed a little foolishly.
Shen Xinyan stared at the still handsome face in the bronze mirror, suddenly felt impulsive, and blurted out and asked: "I've dealt with a lot of people who wait around you recently, so don't you have anything to say?"
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she regretted it. Just as she was about to say something to remedy it, Wei Junhang replied disapprovingly: "Madam has reason for doing this. Since those individuals have been dealt with, they must have committed a mistake that cannot be lightly forgiven."
Shen Xinyan was taken aback, lowered her eyes for a moment, and finally couldn't help but smiled.
It's because of her unnecessary actions. This man never gave up on her at any time in his previous life, how could he have a rift with her because of some servants in this life. She is the one who treats a gentleman with the heart of a villain!
"That Lianxiang, Madam, don't worry about her. I kept her that day because I had to do it, and at the same time, I didn't want to see her being abused by her family." Wei Junhang said again suddenly.
Shen Xinyan was stunned, but she didn't expect him to explain Lianxiang to herself.
"As for why..."
"I understand, it doesn't matter. She was given to you by your mother after all. Besides, she has been caring about things all these years, and she is a self-confident temperament. With her waiting by your side, I feel relieved a lot. "
Wei Junhang opened his mouth, but finally couldn't help muttering: "But, but I, she and I have always been innocent!"
What? !
Shen Xinyan couldn't believe what she heard.
However, although she was shocked, she never doubted his words, just because he really had no need to lie.
"Isn't she, isn't she, isn't your, your roommate?" This time it was her turn to stammer.
"It's not what I want..." Wei Junhang muttered.
He doesn't want anything that smells good, okay? Of course, it is not easy for him to refuse the person given by his mother, but how to deal with it is his business, and it is not appropriate for his mother to intervene.
Shen Xinyan was really completely stunned on the spot this time, unable to react for a long time.
Wei Junhang scratched the base of his ear, somewhat unsure of what her reaction meant.
I don't know how long it took before she let out a long breath, and when she raised her eyes, she met his slightly cautious eyes. For some reason, she felt a sting in her chest, and couldn't help reaching out her hand to caress his cheek. He murmured and asked: "Back then, why did you insist on marrying me back then?"
"Y-nothing! Just, I just think you're so pretty when you smile, if only you could face each other for the rest of your life." Wei Junhang's heart trembled wildly after being caressed by her, and he was so excited that he wanted to jump up and laugh a few times, but he was afraid The other party was startled, so he could only try his best to suppress this thought.
Shen Xinyan couldn't remember when she smiled at him before she got married, but now she didn't care to study it carefully, and sighed inaudibly, only thinking that she might have missed the most important thing in her previous life.
Fortunately, it was not too late for her to wake up in this life.
"Madam, the Third Madam sent someone to invite you to the flower hall, and said that the shopkeepers of Linglong Pavilion and Nishangxuan have arrived." Xia He lifted the curtain and came in to report, which also interrupted Shen Xinyan's thoughts.
"Okay, I'll go now!"
"Go and get busy if you have something to do. I'll go and see Brother Lin." Wei Junhang was a little disappointed when the soft and warm touch on his cheek disappeared.
***
"... Emeralds look old, sister Fang doesn't look good wearing them at a young age, so give them to me! This one is good, this one is good, this gold inlaid east bead pendant is very suitable for my sister, and my sister looks more like a fairy wearing it!"
"But I feel..."
"That's it, that's it, listen to me!"
When Shen Xinyan approached the flower hall, she heard a voice coming from inside, and after listening carefully, she knew it was the voices of Yang Shi and Fang Birong.
She smiled a little unkindly.
I also know that Yang will definitely choose the most precious ones for herself. With her temperament, the Fang sisters are afraid that they will vomit to death.
"Oh my, second sister-in-law, you're finally here. Come on, come on, do you think I look good wearing these emerald-encrusted jewelry earrings?" Yang Shi was the first to notice her coming, and leaned forward enthusiastically, putting her hands on her earlobes. There is a pair of exquisite earrings.
"It's beautiful, it's very beautiful, and it makes the three younger siblings even more wealthy and powerful!" Shen Xinyan glanced at Fang Birong, who was a little bit wronged, and then at Fang Shi, who was full of forbearance, and almost couldn't help laughing out loud.
"I think so too!" Yang was extremely proud, and tried on several pieces of jewelry she had chosen one by one, turning back to ask Shen Xinyan's opinion from time to time.
Shen Xinyan was quite flattering, and the unsparing praise slipped out of her mouth, which instantly made Yang's laughter unstoppable.
Fang was holding back her stomach full of anger. Every time she picked out jewelry for her younger sister, Yang would always take it away for various reasons, but she still had a friendly expression of thinking about her younger sister, which made her want to have a fit. no.
How could there be such a thick-skinned person in the world!
