Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Thief
"It's okay, sit down. "The old lady loves Shen Yulou very much, so she naturally won't take such a small matter to heart, "Today's family banquet, there is no need to be restrained." ”
Shen Yulou was dressed in a light green and flowery brocade cloud dress, with a graceful and calm bearing, a slender body, a face like a hibiscus out of the water, eyes like a galaxy, and a jade nature, with unparalleled elegance.
I only heard her Yingying respond: "Yes." Then he sat down under the eldest lady.
Seeing the old lady holding it, everyone began to eat, because it was a family banquet, and the atmosphere was still warm and harmonious.
"It's not okay if the eldest sister is late. The third girl, Shen Yuning, smiled like a flower, her eyebrows and eyes were like peach blossoms with dew, she was charming and affectionate, "You can teach people to wait." ”
"Yulou should punish himself with a cup. Shen Yulou said, then generously raised the cup, covered his face with his sleeve, and drank it all.
But at this time, the second lady suddenly flicked the chopsticks, and the silver chopsticks fell on the porcelain bowl, making a crisp resonating sound, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, and they all turned their heads to look in the direction of the second lady.
Shen Yanping couldn't help frowning, on such an occasion, wouldn't the second lady's behavior be a loss of face for him?
"How did you make vegetables?" The second lady raised her eyebrows and looked at Aunt Su, "Pick up some things I don't like to eat, haven't you served me for a few days, and even forgot the rules?"
Aunt Su was too timid to speak, only lowered her head.
"Alright. Shen Yanping frowned, "If you don't want eyebrows, let the maid beside you come." ”
"She is also the concubine next to the master, and she doesn't even understand these rules, how will she serve the master in the future?" The second lady was extremely dissatisfied, so she turned to look at Shen Yanping and said, "It's better to let her learn some rules first, and then serve the master after she learns it." ”
The implication is that during this time, Aunt Su will not be able to serve Shen Yanping.
The second lady was angry.
She asked Aunt Su to kneel that day, and deliberately chose a hidden tree-lined path, but somehow she was bumped into by Shen Yanping, and between Aunt Su's words, she asked Shen Yanping to allow her to visit Shen Yumin.
That's fine, for the next few days, Shen Yanping stayed at Aunt Su's place.
Shen Yanping hasn't set foot in the second lady's place for seven days!
If this goes on for a long time, will there still be a place for her in the house?
On such an occasion, Shen Yanping didn't want to worry about the second lady, so he thought about calming things down: "Madame will do it." ”
So the second lady smiled, turned her head and glanced at Aunt Su: "Do you hear? ”
Aunt Su lowered her head: "Yes." ”
The old lady was slightly displeased, glanced at the second lady and Aunt Su, and then turned her head to look at the appearance of the eldest lady and the two aunts beside her getting along harmoniously, although she didn't say anything, she still felt that the eldest lady was more virtuous and dignified in her heart.
Just a small episode.
Shen Fengxu put down his chopsticks early, held a cup of tea, sat aside, and waited for the main event later.
Shen Baitang's gaze swept over and asked, "Fengxu?"
"No, I ate some snacks before eating, and I'm not hungry yet. Shen Fengxu smiled slightly.
Shen Baitang nodded.
However, suddenly there was a commotion from outside the door, and they were disturbed, and there was a lot of noise.
Shen Yanning was about to speak, but the steward beside him had already walked in three steps and two steps.
"Master, there is a thief who sneaked into the yard, and now he has been caught, I don't know what to do?"
With such a trivial matter, Shen Yanning really didn't want to ask more, but he felt bored, so he waved his hand and said, "Kill with a cane." ”
dared to sneak into Dongningbo's mansion, presumably impatient.
Shen Yuxiang stood up: "Father, I don't know where the thief came from is so bold, he even dares to steal things from Dongningbo Mansion, it's better to lock him up and interrogate him first, and then it's not too late to kill him." ”
"It's fine. Shen Yanping only nodded casually, he was just a thief who didn't have long eyes, and he didn't take it to heart.
And the steward answered.
Shen Yuxiang glanced at Shen Fengxu instead, and a smile appeared on her lips, Shen Fengxu didn't know, still holding the tea by herself, as if she didn't know anything about it.
The atmosphere of the family banquet is still lively, and there are a few chats and jokes from time to time.
Then, at this moment, the steward walked in again.
Only this time, the steward's footsteps were a little heavy, he walked to Shen Yanning's side, and whispered a few words in Shen Yanning's ear, Shen Yanning suddenly changed color when he heard the words, and his face suddenly sank.
He slammed the table.
Shockedly, everyone put down their chopsticks.
The old lady looked at him and asked, "What happened?"
Shen Yanning sneered and said to the steward, "Say it." ”
"Back to the old lady, it was the thief who said...... He didn't come to steal, he came to have a private meeting with the girl in the house. ”
In a word, the voice was not loud, but suddenly it exploded in people's ears like thunder.
A private meeting with a girl in the house?!
There are a total of seven girls in the house, and they are all present now.
The second lady suddenly looked at the girls in her second room vigilantly, Shen Yumin was only five years old, and there was no possibility of a private meeting with someone, Shen Yujia was calm and wooden, and it was unlikely, and Shen Yuning ......
Looking at Shen Yuning's charming and amorous eyes, the second lady couldn't help but feel a little worried, and suddenly worried.
On the contrary, the eldest lady is much calmer.
Shen Yulou and Shen Yuxiang are the daughters she cultivated single-handedly, and there is no possibility of private meetings with others, and if Shen Baitang or Shen Fengxu secretly communicate with others, although she has a reputation for improper discipline, it is not a big problem in the end.
The old lady's face also sank, and she inspected the faces of several girls, and then said, "Bring someone to me." ”
She wanted to hear for herself which girl in the house the thief had a private meeting with!
The steward brought the man up.
It was a young man, dressed in rags and ragged, with many wounds on his body, which should have been sustained during the interrogation and torture by the steward.
Despite this, his eyes were shrewd, and he looked at the people at the banquet quietly, and finally, his gaze stopped on Shen Yulou's face.
Without him, Shen Yulou's complexion is peerless, even if there are other beautiful women beside him, he still can't hide his elegance, he just sits upright and doesn't speak, but he is still bright and can't take his eyes off.
Seeing the shameless fanatic staring at her daughter in front of her, the eldest lady immediately blocked in front of Shen Yulou and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you? What is the intention of sneaking into the mansion?!"
The man hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It was the girl in the mansion who asked me to wait here, I didn't sneak into the mansion on purpose, and I didn't steal it!"
"Which girl is it?"
"It's the sixth girl in the house, Shen Fengxu. ”
As soon as his words fell, he suddenly exclaimed, and everyone's eyes fell on Shen Fengxu.
The man also followed the gaze of others, and when he saw Shen Fengxu, Fang realized that this was the woman he wanted to slander.
