Shen Shu felt that deducting wages might not be enough deterrent for the ancients, at least now looking at Amber and Jiang's mother's expressions, there was no trace of nervousness, but if she wanted to establish her prestige by beating and scolding people, she couldn't do it. So she thought for a while, and added, "Don't take my words seriously, there is a word called no more than three things, once or twice I will only deduct wages, if there is a third time, you can go by yourself, there are so many masters in the house, you can go wherever you want, I can't afford to invite you here." ”

This can be regarded as the heaviest sentence she said after she crossed over, Amber and Jiang's mother finally changed their faces, and they hurriedly lowered their heads and said they didn't dare to say again.

Shen Shu's goal was achieved, so he didn't say anything more, and rested after washing.

The reason why she didn't want Amber and the others to mention Aunt Zhou in front of her was because in her opinion, Aunt Zhou was just a stranger, but Mother Jiang and the others might say to her because of such an irrelevant person, such as that she should compete for favor with Xie Changning, or call Aunt Zhou to set rules in front of her, and even tell her how to use means against the unformed child, these words will only make her feel disgusted and irritable, and will not have the slightest pleasure.

From the time she came through and knew that there was Aunt Zhou, Shen Shu never thought about what to do to her, as long as the other party lived her life honestly and didn't put her hand on her, she could be safe.

Facts have also proved that Aunt Zhou is a smart person, and she has been staying quietly in her yard for a while, and has never run to her to find a sense of storage. Shen Shu thought that life could go on so smoothly, all she needed to worry about was three children and a possible catastrophe, she never expected that it was Aunt Zhou, whom she admired a little, and she would soon make a fuss.

Here's the thing.

Xie Changning said in the study before that he would let Aunt Zhou take good care of her body, and he would go to see her when he was free. Having said that, when he is really busy and has free time, it is estimated that there will be a few more months, so he has to thank Aunt Zhou for waiting for him.

Fortunately, Aunt Zhou couldn't wait for the flowers, because Xie Changning deliberately took the time to go to the West Courtyard to see her after a few days of hurriedly finishing the matter at hand.

Regarding Xie Changning's whereabouts, Aunt Zhou was much more concerned than Shen Shu, and naturally knew how busy he was during this time, so she was very happy that he could take time out of his busy time to see him. She wore a peach-colored collared skirt and a pinched gold wire inlaid ruby hairpin, which added a bit of brightness to her already beautiful face.

"What has the uncle been busy with recently, the whole person has lost a lot of weight, and it makes people feel distressed. When Aunt Zhou said this, her eyes showed affection.

Xie Changning's long arm stretched out around her waist and took the person into his arms, rested his chin on the top of her head, stroked her hair with one hand, and comforted, "Ye is fine, you don't have to worry about it, but yourself, now you are a person with a double body, don't worry about working hard, just take care of your body, and strive to give your father a big fat boy again." ”

When Aunt Zhou heard this, the smile on her face became even stronger, and she said coquettishly, "Look at what the uncle said, what if it is a sister at that time?"

Xie Changning also smiled, "It's okay if it's a sister, my lord loves her and spoils her." ”

The two chatted with the unborn child for a while, and Aunt Zhou suddenly said, "Self-...... After my sister left, I have been in charge of this family, it was caused by the situation before, and now Mrs. has been in the door for a long time, I am just a concubine, and then holding the housekeeper's right is a little unjustifiable, it just so happens that I have a body now, uncle, you see, is it ......"

When she said this, she naturally did not mean it sincerely, but only a temptation. Although Shen Shu looks at her as a careless person, a woman's pregnancy and childbirth are a major event related to her life, and no one can believe it except herself.

Originally, she shouldn't have mentioned this matter, as long as Xie Changning didn't say it, she would pretend not to know, and she could continue to hold the power in her own hands. But a few days ago, Xie Changning took Shen Shu out for several days, and when he went out early in the morning, he didn't come back until at least in the afternoon, and then the two went to the study again, and they didn't know what it was for, which made Aunt Zhou very uneasy. Because of this, there is today's temptation.

She wanted to know what status Shen Shu had in Xie Changning's heart.

After the words were spoken, Aunt Zhou carried a heart and waited for Xie Changning's reply.

And when Xie Changning heard her words, he unexpectedly remembered what happened before, that time after Brother Yan'er recovered from his illness, he also mentioned to Shen Shu to let her take over the housekeeping, he thought she would agree, but what he didn't expect was to get the answer of refusal. He is not a person who likes to be boring to himself, after she refused that time, he didn't plan to mention it again, and now let Aunt Zhou mention it like this, he originally wanted to refuse, but when the words came to his mouth, he suddenly remembered something, so the words of refusal became a promise, "That's fine, you have a body, and you shouldn't worry about mundane affairs anymore." ”

When Aunt Zhou heard this, her heart suddenly sank to the bottom, her body stiffened for a moment, and she was silent for a long time before she responded in a low voice, "Then I will go to the East Courtyard tomorrow to hand over the affairs to my wife." ”

Xie Changning said, "Go, if it's her...... Let's talk about it. For some reason, he always felt that Shen Shu would refuse this time.

And Aunt Zhou was in a low mood, so she didn't delve into the meaning of his words, answered vaguely, and fell into his arms again.

――

On the afternoon of the second day, Shen Shu thought that she had promised Brother Zhen to make him a gadget, and she had thought about what to do, but the materials needed this time were not as ubiquitous as last time, and she needed to find a place to customize them, she thought about going out, but she heard the maid come in and say that Aunt Zhou was here.

Shen Shu wondered what she was doing while asking the maid to invite people in.

Aunt Zhou wore a tender green cardigan skirt today, with a white magnolia hosta loosely pulled up her hair, her eyebrows were drawn, her lips were lightly tapped, and she looked forward to her graceful demeanor. After she entered the door, she first saluted Shen Shu and said goodbye, and her manners were impeccable.

"Get up, why did you come to me today?" Shen Shu didn't want to play with her, guess me, and asked straight to the point.

Because she didn't get along much, Aunt Zhou didn't know her straightforward temperament, she was stunned when she heard this, and quickly reacted, and said with a smile, "Yesterday, the uncle went to the concubine's side, saying that it was not suitable for the concubine to work because of mundane affairs, so that the concubine temporarily handed over the affairs of the family to the lady." This is the uncle's kindness, the concubine is not good, so I have to bother the lady. ”

Obviously, the cause of the incident was that she was too confident and wanted to test Xie Changning's reaction, but she miscalculated, and now that it came out of her mouth, it turned out that it was Xie Changning's hard work to hand over the housekeeping to Shen Shu, and she also misinterpreted his meaning and turned the deadline into temporary, as if it was originally her thing, but it was temporarily handed over to Shen Shu to take care of.

This is why Shen Shu didn't care when she heard this, and if she was a native, even if she didn't have much affection for Xie Changning in her heart, she had to be angered by her concubine's daring to provoke the main room.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Shen Shu with a smile on her face, waiting for her reaction. Looking at Shen Shu frowning slightly, she was secretly happy in her heart, thinking that she had finally regained her breath, but before she could be happy for long, she heard Shen Shu say, "What did you tell him, why did you mention this matter again? ”

Aunt Zhou's smile froze on her face, and the little pride she had just now was extinguished. She thought that it was because of her careful temptation that she lost her housekeeping rights, but she didn't want Xie Changning to have this kind of mind before that.

Shen Shu saw that Aunt Zhou didn't answer, so she asked again, "Sue me, what did you tell him that made him think about it again?"

When Aunt Zhou heard this, she came back to her senses, reluctantly gathered her mind, and replied, "Mrs. Hui's words, the concubine didn't say anything, it was all the uncle's meaning, and coming over today is to hand over the ...... with Mrs."

didn't wait for her to finish, but listened to Shen Shu say, "It's okay if you don't say it, I'll ask him myself, and as for other things, I'll let it go first." Liuli, send Aunt Zhou out, remember to slow down. ”

Aunt Zhou didn't expect her to react like this, "Madam, concubine ......" What else she wanted to say, she was interrupted by Shen Shu forcefully, "Okay, after you go back, remember to rest more." After speaking, he got up and went inside, leaving Aunt Zhou alone outside.

has done this, and it is impossible for Aunt Zhou to continue to stay, so she left with a half-unwilling and half-happy mind.

In a blink of an eye, it was evening, and before Shen Shu could go to find Xie Changning, he came to the East Courtyard by himself.

When the servants in the courtyard saw him coming, they carefully observed his expression, and it didn't look like he was angry, they breathed a sigh of relief and became happy at the same time, no matter what Shen Shu thought in their hearts, they always hoped that Xie Changning would come here.

After Xie Changning entered the courtyard, he walked through the cross road and went straight to Shen Shu's room.

He walked over to her and sat down, and after coughing lightly, Shen Shu came back to his senses.

"You're here just in time, so I don't have to go to you. Aunt Zhou came here just now and mentioned the housekeeper's business, I remember I said before, I don't want to care about this, what do you mean?"

Xie Changning opened his mouth, but he didn't answer her question, "I received a letter from my father-in-law two days ago, his old man came to see Sister Hui and Brother Zhen together with his mother-in-law, and he will be here in two days, you can ask people to prepare." ”

Shen Shu was stunned after hearing this, "Who did you say was coming?" Shen ...... My father and mother?" Why did the parents come, but it was Xie Changning who notified, but she, as a daughter, didn't know anything? And said that she came to see Sister Hui and Brother Zhen, the old man cares about his grandchildren, which is nothing to say, so what about her, what is her daughter?

Shen Shu connected with the previous incident, and always felt that Shen Shu's family was definitely not as simple as it seemed.
