The news of the Second Room killing an old woman was kept under wraps by the two madams. On the contrary, it was Suixue who became Auntie Xue, and everyone knew about her in the afternoon.
Old Madam Shen quickly found out as well. She was somewhat shocked and didn't understand why the Feng family had added someone to her son's account. However, she felt that Madam Feng was very virtuous in this regard. Furthermore, her son had not been around for many years and she was very happy for him. Thus, she got someone to give her the jade bracelet.
Aunt Cui didn't expect Sanxue to be so lucky. When the main branch had told her about the incident earlier, she was so angry that her heart ached. Now, even her aunt had given her a jade bracelet of good looks. It could be said that he was about to go crazy from anger.
She had originally wanted to add fuel to the fire for the Feng family and also remove the snow that had become more and more beloved by Master Shen recently.
Aunt Cui was so angry that lunch and dinner were useless. When she heard laughter coming from the yard next door, she almost lost her temper and rushed over. Counting the days, she hadn't seen Master Shen for nearly a month.
No matter how much love a man had, he would gradually forget it when he saw other good colors.
Although she had fiercely provoked the Feng family today and made her angry, what she wished for the most was to be able to leave the courtyard and move freely. However, her current level made it impossible for her to leave the courtyard. She warned the Feng Family because she wanted them to rein in their arrogance.
In a few more days, she would have to move on to the next step.
Aunt Cui leaned against the pillow, her emotions slowly easing. It was only after a long while that she finally exhaled and asked for water to bathe her.
On the other side of the Chen residence, after Doctor Chen had coaxed Chen Jiayi to sleep, he quietly left the room, gesturing to his wife, who had followed him to the Shen residence, to step aside and talk.
After she returned from the Shen Mansion, she didn't dare to hide anything, so she made a brief report. It was only now that Madam Chen mentioned the matters she had to attend to.
"This matter will be buried in your stomach. I will make sure that Yi'er doesn't say anything about it." After listening to her detailed explanation, Lady Chen made her decision.
When Lady Chen returned to her room, Chen Tong had just arrived at her house. While helping her change her clothes, Lady Chen told him in detail about what happened in the Shen Mansion today.
Chen Tongzheng stared at him, his eyes wide and his tongue tied, "This …" "Where did this tricky slave come from, dare to harm Master in secret?!"
"I heard Yi'er say that it was the Shen family's second house's wife, but I think there must be something else in there."
"The Shen brothers are used to being friendly, so there shouldn't be such a thing happening. Besides, that Miss Shen is a girl, so there's no way she would want to kill us."
Lady Chen naturally understood all of this. "If that's the case, I'm afraid it's still a battle between concubines …"
"Madam, please be careful." Chen Tong lowered his voice and said, "This is someone else's family matter, so we don't need to care too much about it."
"That's right. I feel that Lady Shen is a good person. Lady Shen is also well-behaved and sensible. The last time my daughter twisted her ankle." I also feel that something's not right. "
"This Shen Mansion isn't as peaceful as it seems." Chen Tong sighed.
Lady Chen helped him buckle his lapels and gave him a sidelong glance. "Which family isn't like this? There will always be something that will be difficult to remember. "
His wife's tone was laced with hidden bitterness. Chen Tong recalled that in the past, his second brother's career as an official was smoother than his own. He was now a parent. The wife and sister-in-law will inevitably have to work together, and sometimes also by the old mother difficult. He felt guilty, "Sorry to have let you suffer." As he spoke, he pulled her into his arms.
Embarrassed by his actions, Lady Chen pushed him away with a blush and went to prepare supper.
That night, the couple decided to stop their daughter from going to the Shen Mansion's school, using the excuse of having a lady teach a girl to be a girl, saying that it was a high school girl at home. The next day, Lady Chen personally came to explain and express her gratitude.
Xiu Ying was slightly disappointed and regretful when she heard this news after school.
It was not easy to find someone close to him, but he was afraid that it would become rarer.
The Feng family had Linglong's heart, and yesterday, someone tried to harm Xiu Ying. Today, the Chen family would not allow their daughter to continue studying in the school, so there should be some connection between them. Aunt Cui's heart was even more gloomy than usual. If Chen Jiayi was really injured in the mansion one day, then there would be no gap between the two residences at all.
It was also from that day onwards that Madam Feng secretly cleaned up the people around her daughter, preventing Aunt Cui from using any other methods.
On this day, Xiu Ying received a reply from Shen Jun, making her depressed mood improve. But when she saw the letter, she asked him to write another five large words every day, all of which were kept until he came back to check them out. Xiu Ying's entire face went white as she wailed in her heart. If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have written that letter.
In the blink of an eye, Shen Junxiao had stayed in the capital for more than half a month. During that time, he secretly made a trip to the Proclamation of Might to pay a visit to his master, who didn't want to make a fuss. After that, he would stay in the mansion to study, and it would be the same as staying at home to rest.
When Second Master Shen came for the summer and heard the servants say that San Ye only stayed in his room to study all day, a thought flashed through his mind and someone was sent to pass on the message that he would be taken out of the house.
When Shen Jun, who was busy answering the question, heard this, he turned around to change his clothes. Second Master Shen soon arrived at the courtyard. When he heard that his brother was changing, he went to his study and sat down to wait. Shen Junxiao was still half-done with his proposal. He took a few glances and became more and more shocked. He couldn't help but sit down and read it carefully.
Second Brother has been waiting for a long time." Shen Junxiao changed his appearance to a clear azure color, his body was like a jade tree, and his facial features were like a painting. A fourteen year old youth was exceptionally handsome.
Second Master Shen knew that his younger brother was good-looking, but as he looked at him, he was stunned. He smiled and said, "People say that the girl has gone through eighteen transformations. I think that when Third Brother reaches that age, not even a girl would be able to match him."
What he said actually made Shen Jun smile, and then a smile appeared on his face, as if the little girl had also praised him before.
The clear and cold youth smiled, and his entire being seemed to melt in the snow like a warm piece of jade. This little brother of his is good in everything, just that he is too reserved, young people should smile more.
Second Master Shen stood up and put down his unfinished theory. Then, he sat in the carriage and left the residence with him.
"Today, I heard that there are new dishes served at Ying ManLou. Let's go and make it up. We've been so busy recently that we left you alone at home, is it for your brother's sake?"
Hearing his brother's remorse, Shen Jun smiled calmly, "Second Brother's words are out of consideration. I was the one who came to disturb you. It has been a long time since I've heard of the famous younger brother of Ying ManLou. And today, thanks to the blessings of the elder brother, I was able to go and have a taste of delicious food. "
The two brothers then looked at each other and laughed. Second Master Shen told him about the interesting things that happened in the capital in the recent days.
Originally, they were about to reach the place, but because there were too many carriages on the road, they couldn't get close. The guards were asking them if they should walk or not.
The two brothers were about to get out of the car when they heard this. However, they suddenly heard a clamor from behind them, as well as loud shouts.
