"This is Mrs. Shizi? This whole body style is somewhat similar to Princess Qiongshu, I can't blame my aunt for being so loving." But in an instant, she concealed her disappointment, and held Shen Xinyan's hand with a smile.
Shen Xinyan smiled slightly and lowered her eyes, she could naturally feel her closeness to her, and she was a little puzzled.
If she is the 'Yuwei' who just entered the mansion, logically she would wish to stay away from him, so as not to recognize her. It wasn't a glorious past after all.
Another level, when there was no accident in the Zhao family, the wife of the eldest son of the British government was not himself, and the one who had contacts with Princess Rui was also the Fang family. Logically, she just wanted to get close to Fang Shi.
She couldn't figure it out, so she threw it away.
After all, there are only benefits in being in the eyes of this lord, and she is not a fool, she will push out such benefits.
All the wives who were present at the scene naturally could see that the imperial concubine looked at the women of the British government with special regard, especially for the kindness shown by the eldest wife, and they were envious for a while.
Although Empress Zhou in the palace occupies the name of empress, she has no heirs. Secondly, her dignity as the master of the middle palace has been scrapped a lot by her majesty. Thirdly, her natal family is also seeing decline. , but an estranged uncle.
But this one in front of him is different. Not to mention the favor of His Majesty, the son who was born has a "long" character, and the future prospect is probably very big.
The eldest princess was also surprised that Concubine Rui was close to Shen Xinyan, but she didn't think much about it. After all, the relationship between Emperor Yuanyou and Wei Junhang has always been good, so it's not bad for Concubine Rui to sell Mrs. Wei Junhang.
On the contrary, Fang's and Yang's looked at Shen Xinyan who was being laughed and laughed by Concubine Rui with envy and jealousy.
Really, dare to love this good thing in the world, either let the eldest house or the second house take it, how can they live as the third house in the future!
Fang's heart was full of alarm bells.
If the Second Household had more concubine Rui as the backer, it would be very difficult to regain the position of the son in the future. Suddenly remembering that Wei Chenglin was injured last time as if to save the eldest son of the emperor, her heart tightened instantly.
No wonder, no wonder, no wonder the imperial concubine looked at Shen shi differently. In the future, if the eldest son of the emperor really... the status of the second bedroom will be unshakable.
When she left, Shen Xinyan felt that the wives around her looked at her differently, either with envy or jealousy or doubt or inquiry, but she could only pretend that she didn't know.
"Second sister-in-law is really lucky to be in the eyes of the imperial concubine. Look at the things that the imperial concubine gave you brother Lin and the fourth girl, which are a bit richer than others." Back in the mansion, Yang said sourly.
"Or is this the fate between people in the legend?" Shen Xinyan pretended to caress her chin deeply, saying something to anger her.
Sure enough, Yang took a breath when he heard it, and secretly scolded the other party for being too arrogant.
It's just that she looked at Fang's expressionless face on the other side, and her heart suddenly regained her balance.
Back then when Concubine Rui was Princess Rui, she had contacts with the wife of the eldest son, Fang Shi, but today, Concubine Rui treats Fang Shi the same way she treats herself.
From this point of view, maybe the Shen family of the second room is really suitable for the eyes of the imperial concubine and empress!
The juniors were not interested in listening to the adults' tricks. Brother Yue and Xiao Yingzhi took the lead, and ran away with the reward from Concubine Rui, and Yang, who was the first to find out, called out behind his son: "You But don’t lose everything! It’s a gift from the empress!!”
Brother Yue had already run a long distance, so he didn't know if he heard her words.
"Yunfu Yunfu, look what a good thing I got!" Brother Yue shouted happily before entering the room.
Yun Fu, who was shaking his head and carrying a book on his back, turned around and looked over upon hearing the words, Brother Yue ran up to him, held up the lifelike colorful jade carved horse in his hand, and smiled triumphantly: "How about it?" How about it? Haven’t you seen it? When I grow up, let my father give me a real horse like this.”
Yun Fu looked envious: "It's so beautiful, who gave it to you?"
"It's the lady in the palace!" Brother Yue was even more proud.
Xiao Yingzhi tilted her head to look at him, then looked at Yunfu who was full of envy, her small mouth was slightly pouted, and she suddenly stuffed the things in her arms into Yunfu's arms: "I don't like these anymore ,for you!"
"Ah, why don't you give it to me if you don't like it?!" Brother Yue yelled. He had already taken a fancy to the rabbit-shaped paperweight in her arms.
"Not for you!" The little girl snorted at him.
"You prodigal girl!" Seeing Yunfu put all the things that Xiao Yingzhi gave him into a big box, Brother Yue muttered.
The little girl didn't hear it, so she ran over and took Yunfu's hand and said, "Yunfu, let's go to mother's place!"
"Okay." Yun Fu locked the box, and hung the key in the box back around his neck.
The box was full of things that the little girl "didn't like" and gave him, and it was almost full.
He thought, maybe in a few days, he would have to ask Sister Chunliu to find him another big box.
After returning from the palace, there were more and more posts inviting Shen Xinyan to this banquet and that banquet every day. She picked a few that she couldn't refuse, and found a reason to decline the rest.
In a few more days, she was even less in the mood to go to the banquet.
It was all because Mrs. Jing'an Botai, whose condition had improved, fell ill again. This time the condition was even more serious, Mrs. Tai couldn't make it through after a few days.
With tears in her eyes, Shen Xinyan hugged Shen Huiran, who was tightly held by Mrs. Tai, and handed her to her mother-in-law to take her down. She choked up and said to Mrs. Tai who had lost her breath with her eyes open: "Don't worry, mother, I will take good care of Hui. son."
As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Tai's eyes slowly closed.
Sure enough, even to the point of death, she couldn't worry about her only granddaughter.
There is no mistress in Uncle Jing'an's mansion now, since the separation of the family, the second and third rooms have moved out one after another, now there are only four masters in the mansion, Uncle Jing'an and his three children.
Shen Xinyan endured her grief and arranged everything properly one by one, until the couple from the second room and the third room came to take over in a hurry, then she temporarily left and returned home.
"Auntie, I'll help you get into the car." Shen Feng with red eyes stretched out his hand to help her.
Shen Xinyan straightened his collar for him, her voice was hoarse after crying bitterly: "Feng'er is the eldest brother, now that grandma is gone, in the future you will help daddy take good care of younger siblings, you know?"
"Yes, I know." Shen Feng nodded in a muffled voice.
Shen Xinyan stared at him steadily for a moment, thinking that her nephew's whereabouts were unknown after her niece committed suicide in her previous life, her heart ached again, and she worriedly told him again: "You must remember what your aunt said, no matter when You can’t leave your family behind, you know?”
"I know, don't worry, aunt!" The half-grown boy nodded vigorously again.
Although she still had a lot to say to him, she didn't know where to start. She sighed softly, patted his shoulder pitifully, and wanted to get in the car and leave.
"Brother Feng..." A trembling call sounded behind the two of them, Shen Xinyan turned her head subconsciously, and saw that Mrs. Liang had appeared at some point, and beside her stood Shen Huiran, whose nose was red from crying.
She frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. No matter what Mrs. Liang did, she was still the biological mother of Brother Feng's brothers and sisters. As an aunt, she didn't have the right to stop the biological mother from seeing the child.
"What are you doing here?! Go, let me go, you are not welcome here!!" When Shen Feng saw him, he immediately roared at Liang Shi like an angry leopard.
"Brother, mother knew that grandma had passed away, so we came here because she was worried." Shen Huiran explained while crying.
"What face does she have? If it wasn't for her, grandma wouldn't have died! She killed grandma!!" Shen Feng became even more angry.
"It's none of your mother's business, brother, how can you say that?!"
"It's none of her business? If she hadn't been greedy enough to commit such a serious crime that would affect the whole family, how could grandma get angry and cause her old illness to worsen? It's all her fault!! It's her!!" Shen Feng hated He glared at Liang Shi who covered his face and wept bitterly, and roared through gritted teeth.
Being accused by his own son face to face, Liang felt his heart was broken: "It's my mother's fault, but, but everything my mother did was for your brothers and sisters!"
"Get out, we don't need you to be so good! Go, you go!!" Shen Feng's eyes were full of hatred, he rushed forward and pushed Liang Shi, Liang Shi was pushed back several times by him step, nearly falling to the ground.
"Brother Feng!!" Seeing that he had moved his hands, Shen Xinyan hurriedly stopped.
"Auntie, let her go, I don't want to see her again, I don't want to see her again in this life!" Shen Feng's eyes were red, with a faint glint of water, he stubbornly turned his face away, and wiped his eyes fiercely.
"Brother, don't do this, she is our mother!" Shen Huiran was overwhelmed with grief.
"She's not our mother, I don't have such a mother, come back with me!" Shen Feng pulled her roughly, regardless of her crying and struggling, he just dragged her into the room without looking back.
Shen Xinyan did not stop him, but silently looked at Liang Shi who was pale and weeping silently.
The Liang Shi who was rejected by her son in front of him somehow coincided with her who was also rejected by her son in her previous life. At this moment, Liang's despair, the despair of having nothing and being rejected by the closest relatives, she felt the same way.
She lowered her eyes, couldn't bear to look any further, turned around and was about to get in the car and leave.
As soon as he turned around, someone grabbed his arm, and Liang's hoarse voice sounded: "You will take care of Hui'er, brother Feng and the others, right?"
Shen Xinyan opened her fingers bit by bit, and every time she opened one, the blood on Liang's face faded a bit.
"They are my nephews and nieces, so I will naturally take care of them." Finally, when the overwhelming despair was about to hit again, she heard this answer.
"Thanks, and, sorry..."
The moment the car curtain was put down, Shen Xinyan's tears finally fell.
She didn't know why she was crying, but she felt that the tears that had been accumulated for many, many years finally found a place to vent.
