Leaving from the eldest princess's room, seeing the Fang sisters approaching from a distance, Shen Xinyan naturally could see that the pair of sisters were no longer as close as they were at the beginning, and she knew it in her heart.
It seems that the Fang sisters still have a rift after all!
Of course, she didn't think that Fang Birong would really feel resentment towards her sister because of a man whom she only met once. People's negative emotions will only be vented to those who are the most trusted and closest to them. Fang Birong has been in trouble since she arrived in the capital. The road is bumpy everywhere, and a pile of dissatisfaction and resentment has long been accumulated in my heart.
That Qi Liuxiu was just an introduction to arouse her negative emotions.
"Sister-in-law."
"Mrs. Shizi."
When they meet each other head-on, Shen Xinyan will naturally not be rude, and neither will Fang Birong.
Recently, Fang has been trying her best to walk the path of Princess Qiongshu, and she has been repeatedly frustrated in front of Shen Xinyan some time ago, she has become wary of her in her heart, and when she sees this, she smiles and nods to her with a generous appearance. , but didn't say much.
"Second brother and sister."
She didn't take the initiative to provoke, and Shen Xinyan didn't intend to target her everywhere, they greeted each other in rare harmony, and then turned and left.
If the Fang sisters don't come to provoke her, she doesn't mind getting along with them in peace.
Fang Birong and Qi Liuxiu only met each other once in a while, and it was because of her that they had the opportunity to meet Qi Liuxiu at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. If they really use this as the excuse of Fang's sisters to go to the eldest princess, the first one will not be good. It is herself.
All relying on one mouth without evidence or evidence, to put it seriously, it would tarnish the reputation of an unmarried daughter of a relative's family. For this alone, the Eldest Princess will never spare her.
A woman's bad tongue is enough to be dismissed!
Maybe Fang was really intimidated by her at first, but after calming down and thinking about it, he probably figured it out.
Shen Xinyan didn't really intend to use this to blackmail the Fang family all the time, she just wanted to strike first and occupy the commanding heights first, even if Fang Birong really mixed up with Qi Liuxiu in the future, no one can blame her again to her head.
It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, and my brother-in-law is going to cheat, can she tie him up with a rope
Cheating? She was stunned, and felt that this unfamiliar word was very appropriate, but she couldn't remember where she heard it from.
Back at Funing Courtyard, just over the threshold, I saw my daughter obediently holding a wet handkerchief to her, smiling sweetly: "Mom, wipe your hands."
She is so obedient and smiles so sweetly, she seems to be coaxed by her grandmother.
Shen Xinyan raised her brows slightly, but deliberately said a serious "hmm" with a straight face, took the handkerchief and wiped her hands.
Seeing that her mother didn't smile at her gently as usual, the little girl's face collapsed all of a sudden, and she rubbed against her side pitifully, gently grabbed her sleeve with her little hand and shook it, coquettishly and again. Said: "Mother..."
Shen Xinyan said "um" again, still ignoring her.
The little girl sniffed and lowered her head aggrievedly: "Mom, I was wrong..."
"What's wrong?" Finally, Shen Xinyan raised her eyes to look at her and asked lightly.
"I, I shouldn't be disobedient."
"anything else?"
"No, you shouldn't push people."
Seeing that she finally realized her mistake, Shen Xinyan sighed, pulled her to her side, pinched the soft flesh on her face: "You!"
The little guy observed the words and expressions, naturally he didn't miss the smile on his mother's face, and immediately climbed up the pole, but he tried his best to be coquettish and obedient, trying to make his mother forget her disobedience earlier.
Shen Xinyan is not so easy to be coaxed by her sugar-coated bullets, holding her shoulders firmly fixed her in front of her, and asked seriously: "Since I know I shouldn't push people, what should I do now? "
Seeing that she still couldn't get away with it, Xiao Yingzhi pouted her lips in frustration, but couldn't utter a word.
"I did something wrong and pushed someone, shouldn't I apologize to them?" Shen Xinyan wanted to grind her temper, but she was not allowed to escape, her face darkened, and her voice sounded a little more serious.
The little girl finally realized that this time she couldn't get over it just by being coquettish and obedient, she pursed her lips and said aggrievedly: "It should be..."
"It's good that you understand, then you and I will go find Yunfu and apologize to him personally."
The little girl's teardrops circled in her eyes, and finally she couldn't hold back and fell: "Mother..."
"You said it yourself. If you do something wrong, you should apologize to others. Once you say it, you must do it. If you make a mistake and don't know how to repent, you are not a good boy!" Shen Xinyan hardened her heart, not letting herself be shaken by her tears.
Wiping her tears, the little girl hiccupped and replied: "I, I am, a good boy, I, I say, to him, an apology is..."
Shen Xinyan almost couldn't help hugging her to comfort her, took a deep breath and hardened her heart again: "Then you wipe away your tears, wash your face, and go to find Yunfu with your mother."
"Okay..." The little girl wiped her tears with sobs, but she didn't know that she wiped more and more tears.
Shen Xinyan could hardly control the hands that wanted to hug her, the tears were like sharp needles piercing her heart.
The little girl cried for a while and saw that her mother was not moved at all, and finally resigned to her fate, and her movements became more agile. She clumsily rolled up her sleeves and wet the handkerchief, and carefully washed her crying face. Only then did he move to Shen Xinyan, first take a sneak look at her expression, and seeing that her expression had eased a lot, she tugged at her sleeve timidly: "Mom, I've finished washing."
Shen Xinyan straightened her sideburn hair, smoothed her little clothes, and took her hand to go out.
Yun Fu, who was sitting on a small stool and sipping porridge, saw them coming in, and hurriedly wiped his mouth to greet them: "Madam, Sister Yingzhi..."
Suddenly remembering that the little girl refused to be his younger sister, he pursed his lips in embarrassment, and for a moment didn't know what to call her.
Shen Xinyan didn't know what he was thinking, she patted him on the shoulder with a smile, looked slowly at her daughter, and beckoned her to come forward.
Xiao Yingzhi came out from behind her slowly, moved to Yunfu at the speed of trampling ants to death, glanced at him quickly, lowered her head and said like a gnat: "Well, I'm sorry, no You should be pushed."
Yunfu didn't hear her clearly for a while, and asked stupidly: "What did you say?"
Xiao Yingzhi misunderstood that he was deliberately trying to take revenge on her, so she immediately became angry, glared at him angrily, and said very loudly: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have pushed you!"
"Ah? That's okay, it doesn't hurt at all." Yun Fu waved his hand.
The little girl snorted softly at him, and turned her face away from him.
Shen Xinyan cast her inquiring eyes on Xia He in the house, seeing her shaking her head towards her, she felt certain.
"Don't pout your lips, you can hang an oil bottle!" Turning her head to the side, she saw her daughter's arrogant appearance, and she pinched her pouting little mouth amusedly.
The little girl sensitively sensed that her mother was in a good mood, so she rushed over and acted like a baby.
"Go to Qiutang with brother Yunfu, and tell me that I told you to eat two extra dim sum today."
"Really?!" The little girl's eyes lit up.
"Brother Yunfu, let's go!" As if he was afraid that she would go back on his word, without waiting for Shen Xinyan to answer, he immediately took Yunfu's hand and ran outside 'thump-dump'.
"Go slowly, be careful not to fall!" Shen Xinyan warned from behind.
The daughter's delicate voice came from a distance—"I know!"
Shen Xinyan shook her head helplessly, and asked Xia He, "What did the doctor say?"
"Although it is weaker, but the body is still quite good, it will be better after a while." Xia He replied.
"Then is he injured?" Shen Xinyan asked worriedly.
"That's not true. Although the monks in Lingyun Temple didn't take good care of him, they wouldn't abuse him. But..."
Only then did Shen Xinyan breathe a sigh of relief. As soon as she heard Xia He's last two words, her whole heart rose into her throat: "But what?"
"He has a scar on his shoulder. It looks like a knife wound. It should be many years old. I think it was accidentally injured when he was younger."
False alarm!
Shen Xinyan poked her forehead angrily: "I'm not afraid of dying if I say half of it!"
Xia He covered her mouth and smiled lightly.
After coaxing her daughter, and knowing that Yunfu hadn't suffered any harm, Shen Xinyan was relieved.
When Wei Chenglin arrived that night, although there was a strange boy in the room by accident, he was more stable than his sister after all, so he was slightly surprised and called out according to Shen Xinyan's intention: "Yunfu."
The other party was noble, taller and handsomer than himself, and I heard that he was the best in the mansion, and thinking of Wei Yingzhi's refusal to call his brother during the day, Yun Fu felt ashamed and at a loss for no reason The ground called: "Brother Linlin, brother..."
Before Wei Chenglin said anything, Xiao Yingzhi, who was clinging to her mother, pointed at him and laughed: "Brother Linlin, brother Linlin..."
Yun Fu's face turned red immediately.
Wei Chenglin couldn't help but smile, he glanced at his mischievous sister amusedly, and pulled Yunfu to sit beside him: "Let's sit together!"
Seeing that the two got along well, Wei Junhang and Shen Xinyan glanced at each other, and they both saw relief in each other's eyes.
The fact that there was a strange child in the second room did not cause any disturbance in the mansion. Although the mansion did not come in often, it was not uncommon, and everyone thought it was Shi Zi's wife who came here to serve the eldest son.
Coupled with the fact that the Eldest Princess gave the order, those who knew the truth would naturally not talk too much. As time passed, everyone in the mansion lost their curiosity about Yunfu.
Seeing that Yunfu is adapting well in the mansion, Shen Xinyan is gradually relieved. Because it will be Princess Qiongshu's birthday in a few days, Shen Xinyan took advantage of the rare free time on this day, and simply took Yunfu and her daughter out, intending to find some unique jewelry in Linglong Pavilion as a congratulatory gift.
"It's been said outside that our elder son has raised a foreign room."
"real or fake?"
"Is it possible that I still dare to lie about these words to deceive people? The sister-in-law of the daughter of the aunt next door to my man's aunt saw it with her own eyes."
"Oh, this is really unexpected, Shizi is such a person! If Shizi's wife knows!"
"Isn't it!"
"No way! Mrs. Shizi is such a virtuous person. Even if Master Shizi wants to lift up any concubine, Mrs. Shizi will not disagree. Why is it necessary to set up an outer room outside!"
"What do you know? As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as stealing. This outer room is like 'stealing' when you think about it."
"There is some truth in that!"
…
Qiutang looked at Shen Xinyan uneasily, seeing that her face was so calm, she hated those wretched women to death.
"Mom, what is the outer room?"
