"Third Uncle, who did you drink with last night?" Xiu Ying wrinkled her nose and walked around the study room.
Looking at the sniffing little girl, Shen Jun felt like laughing. He knocked on the table. "With your second uncle, you even drink with me."
Xiu Ying blinked and laughed, "How dare you …" "I'm just asking, what is he writing today?"
"Keep going. After a few days, you will go to the academy. At least your posture will be more upright so as to not embarrass me.
Hearing his serious words, Xiu Ying quickly walked over to the table and sat down. She rolled up her sleeves, rubbed the ink, and began to write.
Shen Jun then took the book and placed it on the recliner, slowly reading it.
Xiu Ying wrote for an hour, and the pain in her back was too great, so Shen Jun Xiao finally dropped the book to let her rest for a while. He then boiled some water for her tea.
Just as the water started to gurgle, the disconsolate Bei Feng who had been walking in circles came back. Xiu Ying was at the door, and as soon as she raised her head, she saw it. He then shouted towards the little girl who had a puckered up face, "Who's bullying you?"
Ping'er opened her mouth, saw the azure-green corner of San Ye's robe, and swallowed her words. Xiu Ying thought for a moment, then walked out of the study and walked in front of her. "Go ahead."
"Miss!" Only then did Ping'er speak with grievance, "That little brat was blind and unfaithful. He spread rumors that the young lady's heart was not sincere and that the birthday present for the old lady was given to someone else." "It doesn't look like the second lady. Her ten fingers were pierced through and they were stitched straight out!"
"So you were crying?"
The two of them spoke quite loudly. Shen Jun's hands paused for a moment, and Xiu Ying continued, "Next time you hear this, you don't have to care who the person with the broken mouth is. First, you give it a slap." "Remember to run after you're done …"
Ping'er was completely confused when she heard this, but still understood what he was saying. "…" "But why do you have to run after fighting?"
Xiu Ying raised her eyebrows. "Who do you think you can beat in this house?" Not running but waiting for a beating? If you run back to me and complain, would they dare to follow you? "
There was a low chuckle from inside the room, and Shen Jun laughed and called out to her, "Come here."
How could she forget that her third uncle was in front of her? He had instigated the servants to engage in a personal duel, he had to be taught a lesson.
Xiu Ying dropped the silly maid who had just come to a sudden realization and returned to her room with her neck tucked in.
The little girl sat down guiltily, not even knowing where to put her hands. Shen Jun smiled and raised his hands, making Xiu Ying shrink back. In the next moment, the man gently patted Xiu Ying's head. "You can't teach your subordinates like this in the future. There won't be any rules in this house."
Scratching her head, the nervous Xiu Ying let out a breath of relief. "Isn't this what you taught me as well?" She would beat back whoever bullied her.
"That's only teaching you." Listening to her mesmerising, Shen Jun smiled and became serious.
"Yes, yes, yes!" I was wrong! " Seeing that the situation was not good, the little girl immediately shrunk her head. What was an eight year old girl? She discovered that as long as her Third Uncle had a straight face, even if she grew to eighty years old, she would still be afraid!
In the evening, when Xiu Ying went to the Kang Ning courtyard to pay her respects, Old Lady Shen treated her a little differently.
It wasn't different, it was because she was more intimate with Shen Lian.
All the servants in the room had lowered their faces, but Ying Ying could feel their gazes on her from the shadows. It was obvious that the story mentioned by Lou Cheng was already known by everyone.
Xiu Ying smiled as she held the teacup, pretending that she didn't know anything.
Madam Feng naturally knew what Xiu Ying was about to hear. Seeing her mother-in-law act, she coldly laughed in her heart and found an excuse to leave with her children.
Master Shen had been in a good mood for the past few days. After Madam Feng left, he came to the Kang Ning Courtyard. When he saw that it was only two rooms, he couldn't help but be startled.
Normally, he could only take a few glances at the Feng family from Old Madam Shen.
"Mother, has Yun Zheng arrived yet?"
Old Shen patted Shen Lian's hands, lifted her eyelids and looked at her son, "You're here. He said he has something to take care of, so he'll be leaving first."
Master Shen did not speak again and was lost in thought. Old Lady Shen who was sitting on Lohan's bed said, "Maybe she heard something bad and got angry."
Master Shen felt this was strange and hurriedly asked what was so bad about it. Old Madam Shen then told him that it was a gift from Xiu Ying and her sister. She even asked someone to take it out and show it to him.
One had fine needlepoint, the other had extremely good locking edges, and the embroidery patterns were very similar, while the other was very ordinary.
Looking at the object in his hand, Master Shen's face gradually turned ugly. Second Master Shen and Madam You looked at each other, only to see Madam Yu shaking her head. Second Master Shen did not speak much and just sat there and watched.
Actually, this was just a small matter. It was the thoughts of the younger generation all around. However, Old Madam Shen clearly wanted to use it as an example.
The couple immediately understood what the old man was thinking. He was trying to get back at Aunt Cui for the sake of saving her face. No matter what, he was still close to her. Yesterday, when she was born, the Feng family even humiliated Shen Lian in front of all the other wives. Although the old people were in the wrong, it was still quite a disgrace for her.
Now that he had magnified such a small matter, he also wanted to frustrate the Feng Family's spirit.
"— something opportunistic!" Master Shen rubbed his forehead as he said, "Get someone to call me over here!"
At such a young age, you dare to use such petty tricks to coax others, even forsaking filial piety?!
The little girl, who went to invite others in, bumped into Shen Jun with a smile. He looked at the little girl, who had left in a fluster, and felt a little strange.
He could not help but become even more confused.
Is there something wrong?
Xiu Ying had just returned to the courtyard with Madam Feng when she was invited in. Her round almond-shaped eyes opened as she asked, "Mother, is there something special that happened?"
When Madam Feng heard that it was Master Shen who had called for her, her eyes became ice-cold. She pouted and said, "Don't be afraid, mother will accompany you. "Let's see what happens then!"
Madam Feng then handed Xiang'er to Aunt Wang to take care of her daughter. Holding her daughter's hand, she left. In her mother's warm and gentle hand, Xiu Ying wanted to understand what was going to happen next.
Why couldn't these people just calm down and make his mother angry again?
She let out a silent sigh, allowing Madam Feng to lead her back to the courtyard. As soon as she entered the hall to pay her respects to the elders, Xiu Ying was startled by something flying toward her. Madam Feng took her into her arms.
It fell on the Feng Family's wide sleeves and then fell to the ground.
Only then did Xiu Ying see that she was the one who had given it to Old Lady Shen, and her small face stiffened up.
"Release her and let me ask her a good question." Blue veins protruded from Master Shen's temples.
Madam Feng coldly replied, "Master can ask, but I'm afraid that if you let go, Master will throw something at me and smash my son."
Under Lady Feng's cold gaze, Old Master Shen knew that he had acted impulsively. He restrained himself and said, "Lady, please don't worry. You're only asking her a few questions. If you speak properly, you naturally won't punish her."
Shen Jun smiled and fixed his gaze on the small figure being embraced.
Xiu Ying seemed to have sensed Qin Lie's worried gaze as she poked her head out of Madam Feng's embrace. Her wooden face broke into a smile, and she winked at him mischievously, telling him not to worry.
The girl with the bun face smiled easily. It was easy for people to get infected. Shen Jun then smiled and shifted his gaze away, waiting for further matters. There was still him, after all. He wouldn't let her be punished.
Shen Lian gripped the handkerchief tightly, her fingers constantly tightening in excitement and nervousness …
