Chapter 206: Where to start
She muttered, "I'm fine. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info thank you for telling me this. ”
After saying that, she held up the cup with both hands and gave the order to evict the guests.
Lin Pei obviously didn't expect her to be like this, glared at him angrily, and strode out the door.
After Lin Pei left, Qi Jiu followed Shen Xi into the room.
"It seems that he also doesn't know the inside story. She said.
Shen Xi was silent, and asked her directly under the curtain: "The person who asked you to come into the house to protect me is not Aunt Pei?"
Qi Jiu was stunned, and then stopped talking.
Shen Xi had a bottom in his heart, sat down on the couch, and sighed slightly.
From the moment she got the cause of death of Shen Chongxin and his wife from Aunt Pei, she began to have faint doubts about Shen Chongxin's aunt.
It wasn't until she asked about her menarche and her attitude towards marriage that her doubts deepened.
So when Qi Jiu said that someone was going to invite her into the mansion to protect her, she immediately thought of Aunt Pei.
And since Qi Jiu entered the mansion, she has always been calm, which also proves this.
At this moment, she can't let her aunt pretend anymore......
"Go see what your aunt is doing?"
She rubbed her forehead and said.
Zhixiazhai was originally Aunt Pei's residence.
Shen Liang lived in the main house with the Hu family earlier, and the Hu family had no children, so he regarded Shen Xi as his life, and also raised his concubine Shen Liang as his son.
No matter how long the incense burns in the courtyard that has not been inhabited for three years, it still seems a little lonely.
Or maybe it's not as kind as the house in the original memory.
Aunt Pei sat by the window, looking at Qiu Ju outside the fence for an unknown amount of time. It wasn't until a dart landed on the heart of the flower, and then Shen Liang jumped into the field of vision again, forcibly breaking the tranquility of this scene, that she suddenly came back to her senses.
"Are you done with your homework today?" she scolded.
After receiving his answer, she raised the needle in her hand again, rubbed it twice on her scalp, and continued to keep her head down and get busy.
His subordinates are wearing most of the autumn shirts, the plain colors that Shen Xi has loved recently.
By the beginning of August, the weather has turned cooler, and it is still very sunny during the day, but heavy at night.
Now their daily life is completely worry-free, clothes and meals are all according to the rules, Shen Xi's clothes when he goes out are taken to the embroidery village to be made, and the home-cooked shirts are wrapped by her.
Her embroidery is not as good as hers, but she is not inferior either.
When you make something, you can always get praise.
She skillfully picked two embroidery sticks of different colors, wore them with embroidery needles, and embroidered them on the fabric in the weaving method of "three-color brocade".
"My aunt is so good, she shouldn't have been an embroiderer in the past, right?"
A familiar voice suddenly sounded in the room, and then the light and shadow in front of him flickered, and Shen Xi had already arrived.
Aunt Pei's hands trembled slightly, and she looked up at her beautiful face with a smile: "When did you come?" Why didn't I hear footsteps?"
"It's deliberately light, how can my aunt know?" Shen Xi's eyes fell on the clothes, his chin rested on his folded arms, and he looked careless.
Aunt Pei's eyes swept over her face, her expression was slightly relaxed, she got up with a smile and brought the cake and fruit plate, and said, "Lin Gongzi is gone?"
"Told me a shocking secret, and if you don't leave, are you waiting for me to chase after me with a broom?" Shen Xi took a crisp corner and ate it.
Aunt Pei was slightly stunned: "What secret?"
Shen Xi lowered his eyes and looked at the plate, his fingers fiddling with the crisp corners inside.
Aunt Pei was a little uneasy, pulled out the silk on her cuffs, and wiped her sideburns.
"Actually, it's nothing, that is, I am a child who was raised, not the daughter of the Shen family. Shen Xi said.
Aunt Pei is set there.
"Auntie," I don't know when Shen Xi saw her face again, her eyes were gloomy, like moonlight in a quiet night, "How did I come to the Shen family?"
"What should I have been given my last name? What happened to my biological father and mother? What is the identity of my aunt? Whose child is Brother Liang? There are so many mysteries that I am almost out of breath. ”
Aunt Pei's face gradually froze, as if she was in a pool of water under the moonlight.
It wasn't until she held her breath long enough that she hung her shoulders and muttered, "How do I know this, I've never heard of it." ”
"But Qi Jiu was invited to the mansion by you. Shen Xi wouldn't allow her to avoid it, "And you also know that I have the blood of the Helian people in my body."
"Before she died, my mother only called you into her room to talk. Even my own daughter never heard it.
"My mother even gave you all her books. And you're just an aunt. How could she do such a thing if she wasn't sure you would be good to me?"
Aunt Pei's face turned a little pale.
"How could Lin Pei know about this?"
"I'll tell you later. But can my aunt answer my previous question first?"
Aunt Pei raised her hands on the table, unconsciously scratched a handful in the air, as if she wanted to get something back from the years, and then she stood up and stood firmly in the center of the room.
"What do you want me to say? I never intended to tell me this. ”
She muttered, as if she was speaking to Shen Xi and to herself.
"Let's start with the old lady. Shen Xi gave her a hint. "Tell me how you and I got to the Shen family?"
"Brother Liang is the child of me and my master. ”
Immediately afterwards, Aunt Pei's voice seemed to spill out of the ancient stone mill: "Mrs. can't have children, but the master insists that if you have a girl, don't have any more children."
"My wife asked the Hu family to send me to the house, and then let the master accept me.
She said that the lord has taken care of her enough, and if she doesn't leave a bone and blood for the lord to live on, she won't be able to live with her.
"My wife's thinking is old. She is dedicated to her husband and children.
"I don't know what others will think of them, but in my heart, the master is also a man with affection and righteousness.
He didn't want to let his wife down, and he respected her even more. He rarely came to my room, but he never treated me badly in my daily life.
"And I'...... I have never cared about any public unfairness, nor have I ever thought about whether my lord is right for me to do this. I didn't even hold a grudge against my wife.
"Because even if I am a cow and a horse in the Shen family, even if I can't be an aunt and can't give birth to Brother Liang, I must come to the Shen family!
"It's my mission to come to the Shen family, I'm a subordinate myself, not to mention that they also let me have my own flesh and blood......"
She lifted her face, her face dazed.
Shen Xi's expression softened slightly when she heard that Shen Liang was Shen Chongxin's flesh and blood, and before she could speak, Aunt Pei had already looked over.
"The girl must wonder, why do I say that I am a subordinate, right?" she raised her lips slightly, but the corners of her mouth were pouting with a hint of sadness, "because the slave is just a maid left to you by your biological mother." ”
