35. Chapter 35
Leaving the room of the eldest princess, seeing the Fang sisters approaching from a distance, Shen Xinyan could naturally see that the sisters were no longer as close as they were at the beginning, and she knew it in her heart.
It seems that the Fang sisters still have a grudge after all!
Of course, she wouldn't think that Fang Birong would really have resentment towards her sister because of a man who was only one-sided. People's negative emotions will only be vented to those who are most trusted and closest. Fang Birong has been in trouble since she arrived in the capital. She was crowded out by noble ladies at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. The road is bumpy everywhere, and a pile of dissatisfaction and resentment has long accumulated in my heart.
That Qi Liuxiu was just an introduction to arouse these negative emotions in her.
"Sister-in-law."
"Mrs. Shizi."
When confronted head-on, Shen Xinyan naturally wouldn't be rude, and so did Fang Birong.
Fang shi has been trying very hard recently to follow the path of Princess Qiongshu. In addition, she has been repeatedly frustrated in front of Shen Xinyan some time ago, and she has become vigilant in her heart. Seeing this, she also smiled and nodded at her with a generous and decent appearance. , but didn't say much.
"Second brother and sister."
She didn't take the initiative to provoke, and Shen Xinyan didn't plan to target her everywhere. They greeted each other in a rare harmony, and then turned and left.
If the Fang sisters don't come to provoke her, she doesn't mind getting along with them in a peaceful way.
Fang Birong and Qi Liuxiu had only met once in a while, and it was because of her that they had the opportunity to meet Qi Liuxiu at the Hundred Flowers Banquet. I really took this as the handle of the Fang sisters to the eldest princess, and the first one was not good. It is herself.
No evidence, no evidence, all rely on one mouth, to put it more seriously, it is to tarnish the reputation of relatives' unmarried daughters, only this one, the eldest princess will never spare her.
A woman's tongue is enough to be abandoned!
Fang Shi may have been really frightened by her at first, but after calming down and thinking about it, she probably wants to understand this.
Shen Xinyan didn't really plan to use this to blackmail the Fang family all the time, she just wanted to be strong first and take the lead in occupying the commanding heights. Even if Fang Birong really mixes with Qi Liuxiu in the future, no one can blame it anymore. to her head.
It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, and my brother-in-law is going to cheat, can she still use a rope to tie them up?
cheating? She was stunned, only to feel that this unfamiliar word was very appropriate, but she couldn't remember where she heard it for a while.
Returning to Funing Academy, just after stepping over the threshold, she saw her daughter obediently holding a wet handkerchief in front of her, smiling sweetly: "Mother, wipe your hands."
Being so good and smiling so sweetly, it seems that she was coaxed by her grandmother.
Shen Xinyan raised her brows slightly, but deliberately gave a serious "um" with a serious face, took the handkerchief and wiped her hands.
The little girl saw that her mother didn't smile at her as gently as usual, her face suddenly collapsed, and she rubbed pitifully against her side, her little hand gently grabbed her sleeve and shook it, coquettishly again. Said: "Mother..."
Shen Xinyan said "um" again, still ignoring her.
The little girl sniffed and lowered her head aggrievedly: "Mother, I was wrong..."
"What's wrong?" Finally, Shen Xinyan looked up at her and asked lightly.
"I-I shouldn't be disobedient."
"anything else?"
"No, you shouldn't push people."
Seeing that she finally realized her mistake, Shen Xinyan sighed, pulled her to her side, and pinched the soft flesh on her cheek: "You!"
The little guy watched his words, naturally did not miss the smile on his mother's face, and immediately climbed up the pole, but he tried to act like a spoiled child, trying to make his mother forget her disobedience earlier.
Shen Xinyan was not so easily coaxed by her sugar-coated cannonballs, holding her shoulders and holding her firmly in front of her, she asked again seriously, "Since I know that I shouldn't push people, what should I do now? "
Seeing that she still can't get through, Xiaoyingzhi pouted and was so frustrated, but she couldn't say a word.
"I did something wrong and pushed someone, should I apologize to them?" Shen Xinyan wanted to sharpen her temper, but how could she be allowed to escape, her face sank, and her voice sounded a little more serious.
The little girl finally realized that this time it wasn't that she could be exposed by being a coquettish girl, and she said with a sullen mouth, "Should..."
"It's good if you understand, then you go to Yunfu with me and apologize to him in person."
The little girl's tears circled in her eyes, and finally couldn't help falling: "Mother..."
"You said it yourself, if you do something wrong, you should apologize to others. Once you say it, you must do it. If you make a mistake and don't know how to repent, it's not a good boy!" Shen Xinyan hardened her heart and didn't let herself be shaken by her tears.
While wiping away her tears, the little girl burped and responded: "I, I am, a good boy, I, I said to him, apologized..."
Shen Xinyan almost couldn't help hugging her to comfort her, and took a deep breath to harden her heart again: "Then you can dry your tears, wash your face, and go to Yunfu with your mother."
"Okay..." The little girl choked and wiped away her tears.
Shen Xinyan almost couldn't control her hands that wanted to hug her, and those tears really pierced her heart like sharp needles.
The little girl cried for a while and saw her mother unmoved. Finally, she accepted her fate, and she moved a lot more quickly. She awkwardly rolled up her sleeves to wet the handkerchief, and carefully washed her crying face. Only then moved to Shen Xinyan, first secretly looked at her expression, saw that her face had eased a lot, and timidly pulled her sleeve: "Mother, I've washed it."
Shen Xinyan trimmed the hair on her sideburns, smoothed the little clothes, and took her hand to go out.
Yunfu, who was sitting on the stool and drinking porridge, saw them come in, and quickly wiped his mouth to greet them: "Madam, Sister Yingzhi..."
Suddenly remembering that the little girl refused to be his sister, he pursed his lips in embarrassment, not knowing what to call him for a while.
Shen Xinyan didn't know what he was thinking, she patted his shoulder with a smile, slowly looked at her daughter, and motioned her to come forward.
Xiaoyingzhi walked out from behind her at a slow pace, moved to Yunfu at the speed of stepping on an ant, glanced at him quickly, lowered her head and said like a gnat, "That, I'm sorry, no. You should be pushed."
Yunfu didn't hear her clearly for a while, and asked stupidly, "What did you say?"
Xiao Yingzhi misunderstood that he was deliberately trying to retaliate against herself, so she suddenly became angry, glared at him angrily, and said very loudly: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have pushed you!"
"Ah? That doesn't matter, it doesn't hurt at all." Yunfu waved his hand.
The little girl snorted at him and turned her face away from him.
Shen Xinyan's inquiring eyes turned to Xia He in the house, and she was sure in her heart when she saw her shaking her head at her.
"Don't pout, you can hang up the oil bottle!" Turning her head, she saw her daughter's arrogant appearance, and she pinched her high pouted mouth in a funny way.
The little girl sensitively noticed that her mother was in a good mood, and immediately rushed over to act like a spoiled child.
"Go to Qiutang with brother Yunfu and say that I told you to eat two more dim sums today."
"Really?!" The little girl's eyes lit up.
"Brother Yunfu, let's go!" As if she was afraid that she would go back on it, without waiting for Shen Xinyan to answer, she immediately took Yunfu's hand and ran outside.
"Slow down, be careful to fall!" Shen Xinyan urged from behind.
From a distance, my daughter's delicate voice came - "I know!"
Shen Xinyan shook her head helplessly and asked Xia He, "What did the doctor say?"
"Although he is weaker, his body and bones are still quite good. It will be fine after a while." Xia He replied.
"Then is he injured?" Shen Xinyan asked worriedly.
"That's not true. I think the monks who came to Lingyun Temple didn't take care of him very much, but they wouldn't abuse him. But..."
Only then did Shen Xinyan breathe a sigh of relief. As soon as she heard the last two words of Xia He, her whole heart raised in her throat: "But what?"
"He has a scar on his shoulder, which looks like a knife wound. It must be many years old. I think it was accidentally injured when he was younger."
A false alarm!
Shen Xinyan poked her forehead angrily: "If you say half of it, you won't be afraid of dying!"
Xia He covered his mouth and chuckled.
After coaxing her daughter, and knowing that Yunfu was not hurt, Shen Xinyan was also a worry.
When Wei Chenglin arrived that night, although there was an unfamiliar boy in the room, he was more stable than his younger sister. He was just a little surprised and called out to Shen Xinyan, "Yunfu."
The other party is extravagant, taller than himself, and born more handsome than himself. I heard that he is the most outstanding in the house. When he thinks of Wei Yingzhi's words that he refused to call his brother in the daytime, Yunfu feels a little ashamed and at a loss for no reason. The ground called: "Brother Linlin, brother..."
Wei Chenglin didn't say anything yet, Xiao Yingzhi, who was hugging her mother affectionately, pointed at him and laughed: "Brother Linlin, brother Linlin..."
Yunfu's face turned red in a flash.
Wei Chenglin couldn't help but smile in his eyes. He glanced at his mischievous sister with a funny look, and pulled Yunfu to sit beside him: "Let's sit together!"
Seeing that the two got along well, Wei Junhang and Shen Xinyan looked at each other, and both saw relief in each other's eyes.
The fact that there was an unfamiliar child in the second room did not cause any waves in the mansion. Although people did not enter the mansion often, it was not uncommon, and everyone thought that the wife of the prince had come to serve the eldest son.
Coupled with the order from the eldest princess, people in the know will naturally not talk too much. Over time, everyone in the house has faded their curiosity about Yunfu.
Seeing that Yunfu was adjusting well in the mansion, Shen Xinyan gradually felt relieved. Because it will be the birthday of Qiongshu County Lord in a few days, Shen Xinyan took advantage of the rare free time on this day, and simply went out with Yunfu and her daughter, planning to go to Linglong Pavilion to find some unique jewelry as a gift.
"Everyone is saying that our son-in-law has raised the outer room."
"real or fake?"
"Is it possible that I dare to lie to people with these words? It was seen by the little sister-in-law of the daughter of the aunt's daughter next to my man's aunt."
"Ouch, this is really unexpected. Lord Shizi is such a person! It would be amazing if Mrs. Shizi knew about it!"
"Isn't it!"
"No! Mrs. Shizi is such a virtuous person. Even if Lord Shizi wants to lift his aunt, Mrs. Shizi will not disagree. Why is there a need to keep an outer room outside!"
"What do you know, as the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as stealing. The outer room is like 'stealing' if you want to come here."
"That makes some sense!"
...
Qiutang looked at Shen Xinyan uneasily, and saw that her face was so calm that there was nothing strange, and she hated those stubborn old women half to death in her heart.
"Mother, what is the outer room?"
