"What do you think happened to the second lady?!" Aunt Cui's beautiful eyes were wide open, and they shone like cold stars when she looked at her.
The messenger girl shrunk her neck back and replied timidly, "Second Miss pushed Big Girl down the fake mountain. Third Master didn't jump down when he wanted to save Big Girl. The young lady was uninjured, but the third master was dizzy. The second young lady was still cursing the young lady for not dying, so the wife punished the second young lady to kneel outside the ancestral hall. When will the Third Master wake up and when will he rise again? "
Shrine... Outside the ancestral hall.
Aunt Cui's expression became extremely unsightly. Madam Feng had not only punished her daughter, but had also reminded her that her daughter was born of a concubine. How could she not be punished? She had to be punished outside the ancestral hall. This was clearly slapping her in the face!
Aunt Cui was so angry that her chest heaved up and down. She was a beautiful woman. She was so bright and beautiful that even when she was angry, her eyebrows were raised and her eyes were attracted to someone for no reason. Master Shen also liked her face a lot. Every frown and smile she made would seduce people. Even with a few concubines by her side, she couldn't stop loving them.
"I have to go and take a look!" Aunt Cui thought of the winding paths here and flung her handkerchief to the side, preparing to leave.
The little girl hurriedly stopped her. "Aunt, even if you went to take a look, it wouldn't be of any use. Even the old lady agreed to punish you in such a way …"
Her aunt agreed to punish Lian-er?
How could that be? Although her aunt seemed to care about the mother and daughter on the surface, she was deeply in love with Lian-Er.
Seeing that her mistress still had a look of disbelief on her face, the girl's gaze landed on her heaving breasts, thinking of what Aunt Xu had said behind her back that they were big and brainless. It now looked a little like that.
What she said just now was very clear. This matter involved the Third Master, who didn't know that the Old Granny was in so much pain that the Eldest Master had to step aside. Moreover, the Third Master would be injured, and it was the Second Miss who had done the dirty work first. Wasn't it normal for the Old Granny to agree to punish Second Miss? If she went now, she would only be asking for a cold face.
But Aunt Cui felt sorry for her daughter. She just wanted to understand that she still had to go.
The girl could only watch as she brought the girl out the door and sat in the courtyard to bask in the sun. She could only watch as she brought the girl out the door and then sat in the courtyard to bask in the sunlight.
Xiu Ying was very obedient in the old lady's room.
During the incident, the Old Granny carried Master Shen directly to her courtyard. After seeing him, Lang Zhong said that it would be inappropriate to move him again, so Master Shen decided to place him in the east wing. Xiu Ying was standing beside the bed. From time to time, she would moisten the tea on his lips with the handkerchief before quietly watching him.
Now that she looked at her third uncle like this, it was rather refreshing.
She was eight years old, and her third uncle was only fourteen years old. His handsome appearance was still the same as ever, but he was even younger than she remembered. When she died, she was 18 years old. Third Uncle was already 24 years old, so naturally he was different. However, Third Uncle's cold and aloof temperament had never changed.
Even though he was unconscious, he was still young.
The more Xiu Ying looked at his handsome face, the more she thought he was funny.
For example, when his 24-year-old uncle was expressionless, there would be a deep scar on his lips. But now, he didn't. Perhaps it was because he had always pursed his lips when he was young that he had grown up. Furthermore, she had never seen her third uncle so closely before and discovered that his eyelashes were very long, almost the same as hers. However, why was it that despite his handsome appearance, he also gave off a feeling of alienation that no one was allowed to get close to, even though this was something that had been told to her by an outsider. Now that he thought about it, his Third Uncle had become more and more imposing after he became an official. Sometimes, he just sat there with such dignity that it made people feel breathless.
How many girls had fallen in love with him, and how many had been coldly stared at by him and cowered in fear.
In this life, was she going to persuade Third Uncle not to scare the girl so much that he had never been able to get a wife even when he was so old?
Xiu Ying lay by the bed, completely focused. Old Madam Shen had come a few times, and seeing how obedient she was, even though she had disgraced her, she still felt gratified. His youngest son didn't love his granddaughter for nothing.
Old Mistress Shen quietly left the room again, just in time for Aunt Cui to arrive.
Aunt Cui was a person who paid attention to her appearance. Even though she was in a hurry, she still asked the little girl to straighten her hair and hairpin ring before she stepped over the threshold.
When Old Madam Shen heard that she had arrived, she remained expressionless. After Aunt Cui gave a formal bow, Yin Yin Yin called out for her aunt. She just looked at her pitifully with her beautiful eyes.
Aunt Cui was actually somewhat similar to Old Lady Shen. It could be seen that Old Lady Shen was a beauty as well, but her pathetic tricks were of no use to Old Lady Shen. They were all moves that taught her how to keep her eldest son's heart. Seeing Aunt Cui act this way, Old Lady Shen became even more annoyed.
This niece of hers was very pretty, but she was no match for Madam Feng.
Madam Feng was that kind of gentle beauty. Even though she didn't look as if she would cause others to pity her, her every word and gesture carried the warmth and gentleness of a spring breeze. Its facial features were extremely exquisite, and even though it had two peach blossom eyes, it was incredibly clear to the onlookers. It was the kind of pureness that came with it. Even though he was quite old now, his temperament did not decrease in the slightest. No wonder his son seemed to be befuddled in the past. Even now, he still couldn't wait to stick to it!
Thinking of her eldest son, Old Madam Shen's expression became even weirder. Her annoyance towards Aunt Cui had been washed away by her, and she no longer wore a straight face.
"Why are you here?"
"I heard that the third master fell on the ground. I came to take a look."
Old Mrs. Shen then gave her a sidelong glance. "You're being considerate. Old Third is still not awake, you can go back now."
She had only spoken two sentences before she was chased away. Aunt Cui's heart thumped rapidly as she realized the seriousness of the situation. Her eyes immediately turned red. She twisted the handkerchief and said, "Aunt, Lian-er didn't do it on purpose …"
"Go back!" Old Lady Shen glanced at her with a face as cold as frost.
Aunt Cui had never seen Old Lady Shen so angry before. She immediately shut her mouth, stood up, bowed towards her, and left. She had frequently visited the Shen estate since she was young. She knew Old Madam Shen's personality the best. She could not afford to offend her out of anger, it was no different from pulling a tiger's whisker.
Coming out of the Conning Courtyard with a face full of dust, Aunt Cui gritted her teeth and turned to look at Shen Lian.
Shen Lian was being watched by Madam Feng's people, and even Qi mama was sent over. Although Aunt Cui saw this, she could not get close. Seeing that his daughter was crying so hard and her body was dirty, he could only feel his heart ache even more. He turned around and headed to the Hanging Flower Gate and sent his trusted servant girl to the front courtyard to find out if Master Shen had returned home yet.
She waited until it was dark. Lady Feng then went to pay her respects to Old Lady Shen in the evening. When she found out that her brother-in-law was still awake, Xiu Ying insisted on staying here, so she went back to the courtyard by herself.
Xiu Ying hastily consumed some food and continued to wait by the bed. Old Lady Shen had sent a little girl to ask her to come to the next bed to rest, but she was unwilling. Although she knew that her Third Uncle would only be awake tomorrow, there was a chance that he might wake up earlier if she was able to reincarnate.
She insisted that in the end, Old Lady Shen had someone move a long bed to put it not far from the bed, so that if she got tired, she could have a good rest.
At first, Xiu Ying didn't want to use the couch. Although she was only eight years old now, she had the soul of an adult after all. However, her body was too young and her energy was limited. She didn't know how to fall asleep while standing guard.
The little girls fell asleep immediately upon seeing her sitting on their feet. It was a round ball, and they felt like laughing. Madam Feng had good culinary skills, and she was also greedy for food. As she ate, she was even fatter than other girls. She also appeared to be more lovable than other people.
Although the little girl felt that she was very cute like this, she still didn't dare to make her fall asleep like this. The first wife wouldn't forgive them if she caught a cold. Thus, two or three of them went up to try and bring her up onto the bed. Unexpectedly, she had fallen asleep and was still tightly holding on to Master Shen San's sleeves.
