But no matter how much their subordinates liked Miss Qingshuang, the master's order was an order, so they still called Qingshuang to explain things clearly.
Qingshuang was a little surprised. Since Shen Chen asked her to leave the mansion, he had no contact with her. Even after her injury healed, Shen Chen did not go out of his way to look at her.
She learned all kinds of skills, but there was no place to use them.
This time, Princess Linjiang asked Nanny Qin to deliver a message to her, asking her to find a way to win Shen Chen's favor. She had tried her best to cooperate. Even though she was beaten all over by her stepmother, she still insisted on not allowing her to enter Shen Chen's study.
She had put so much thought into Shen Chen, but Shen Chen was not moved at all, not even a glimmer of sympathy, and instead still wanted to send her away? !
Now the mistress hasn't officially entered the house yet, which was originally her best chance. If she could seize the opportunity and become a concubine of Shen Chen before the legendary powerful Princess Shouning entered the house, she would have a lot to look forward to in the future.
But if I was sent away now? What would the future be like?! Those were just ridiculous fantasies.
She was confused for a moment, but still agreed with a stammering look on her face.
She had always been a very gentle and kind person in the mansion. After receiving her monthly salary, she sent half back to the family that treated her badly, and gave the other half to the old woman in the mansion who took care of her. Generally speaking, there was nothing dislikeable about her, and everyone regarded her as a half-sister or half-daughter and praised her endlessly. Now seeing her sad face, even the housekeeper's wife felt a little bit sorry for her.
It was hard to say it out loud, but she couldn't help but say to everyone in private: "I'm afraid the future mistress won't be tolerant. I thought Miss Qingshuang was such a good person, and I thought... I thought the Marquis had gone to great lengths to get her from the mansion, and Miss Qingshuang was so obedient and well-behaved, so he was going to keep her in the room. But look, he sent her away before the princess even entered the house..."
Everyone had heard of Wei An's reputation, and they believed more in his speculation that he was intolerant, but they didn't dare to say anything on the surface.
If it was sent by a man himself, what would it matter even if they sympathized with Qing Shuang? !
They are not the ones who can protect Qingshuang and stop her from leaving.
Qingshuang packed her things by herself. She never expected that such a big thing would happen. She suffered such a great injustice, but Shen Chen didn't even look at her. Instead, he let her go directly.
She knew what she wanted very well, so when Princess Linjiang gave her hope, she climbed up the ladder to the top. For this hope, she waited for so long, coming here from Jiujiang, and then waited step by step until Shen Chen finally asked her to come to his house... ..
But all this was in vain?!
She didn't understand, why?!
Shen Chen already wanted her, and he had even spoken such ambiguous words to Princess Linjiang himself. Everyone also regarded her as Shen Chen's future concubine. She was supposed to be Shen Chen's, it was only a matter of time.
But now, Shen Chen actually asked her to go to the manor to recuperate without hesitation. What did recuperation mean? She knew without thinking that it was just an excuse. After she went there, there would be no chance to come back.
She clutched the hem of her clothes tightly until her fingers became stiff and white, and her joints creaked, then she suddenly lifted the tablecloth.
But her anger only lasted for a moment, and she immediately packed up her things again with a gloomy face - No, no, she has been wearing the mask for so long, is she going to take it off now
She shouldn't be like this. She was praised by her master but she still wanted to throw things to vent her anger. How could this be allowed? !
This was not in keeping with her usual temperament.
She couldn't fail at the last moment. Now was not the time for her to really collapse. It was not hopeless, as long as she could think of a way... But how could she change Shen Chen's decision
She looked solemnly at the tablecloth that had been smoothed out on her table, and the fruit in the glass bowl on it. After a long time, she sighed softly.
However, Qingshuang's matter was a trivial matter after all. People in the mansion forgot about it after talking about it for two days. Everyone knew that Shen Chen's ideas were always firm. No matter what the matter was, as long as he made a decision, there was no reason to change it.
So they felt regretful for a few days, and that was all they could do. Then everyone started talking about the Wei family's affairs with great relish - Wei An's brother Wei Jie was going to marry the daughter of Chen Ge Lao's family.
Their marriage was full of twists and turns. By now, Chen Mianmian was already eighteen years old, which was considered very late for the girls to get married, and Wei Jie was already twenty. Because they had encountered many difficulties before, both the Wei and Chen families were very cooperative in the preparation of the marriage. Everything was discussed and there was no problem of deliberately making things difficult for each other. Therefore, the marriage was carried out in a very glorious and appropriate manner as expected.
The gorgeous red makeup that Miss Chen wore when she got married that day was so dazzling that even the usually quiet Marquis of Pingxi's Mansion couldn't help but discuss the event.
It wasn't just the Marquis of Pingxi's Mansion, the even more lively place was the Princess of Linjiang's courtyard. She went to the Wei family in person and felt a little tipsy after coming back. She rested for a long time before waking up with a headache.
Yinshuang hurriedly served the hangover soup that had been prepared long ago, and helped her drink it before she asked her in a low voice: "Princess, would you like some more fresh peaches?"
Peaches at this time are rare. After all, they are out of season and there are not many left. Princess Linjiang waved her hand and told her to go out. Nanny Qin came in and rubbed her forehead and asked her, "How long have I slept?" Nanny Qin hurried forward to support her and put on her shoes for her: "You have slept for more than two hours. I was thinking whether I should wake you up, but it is rare for you to sleep for so long, and I can't bear it..."
Princess Linjiang's expression softened a little, and she leaned on the soft pillow and said, "Today, Old Madam Wei and the wife of Marquis Ping'an came to toast me in person, and even Madam Chen and the others came. I couldn't not give them face, but who knew that I would get drunk after drinking two more cups... But speaking of it, the Wei family's wine is indeed well brewed, and I don't know where it comes from. It's long-lasting, and I sleep so sweetly when I'm drunk, and I don't even feel a headache when I wake up..."
Sleeping is really a difficult thing for her, and this time she had a good sleep. (To be continued)
