Chapter 68: The Vortex
The remnant sun of the evening is like a flowing fire spreading the sky, covering the orange sky little by little.
Bi'e behaved like usual, which made people unable to find fault, Shen Qinrou watched from the sidelines, her heart was cold and cold, she couldn't move Bi'e, and her feelings for Bi'e were quite complicated, she could only pretend to be okay on her face, and her heart was dull in the end.
Mrs. Shen forgot this for a long time, and when it was the Double Ninth Festival, she seemed to remember the two granddaughters who were hung by her in the Sanxing House, so she ordered someone to pick them up.
Shen Qinrou sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked back at Sanxingju, her thoughts were chaotic and her tastes were mixed.
Red Sleeves stood in front of the door of Sanxingju, looking at the carriage that was walking away, her face was inexplicable, she knew that she was afraid that she would have another chance to walk out of Sanxingju in her life. Although Zhou Qingyi is a biological sister, Mrs. Shen didn't know for what reason, she didn't execute her, nor did she sell her, but left her alone in Sanxingju, she couldn't guess Mrs. Shen's intentions, but after this incident, she suddenly found that being able to stay quietly in this courtyard was a good destination for her, and she was relieved.
The two sisters Shen Qinrou returned to the Shen Mansion in Beijing again, and suddenly had a feeling of rebirth.
Especially Shen Qinrou, her gaze deepened little by little with this wealthy mansion, as if this was not a mansion, but a fierce beast that only eats people and does not spit out bones.
Taking a deep breath, she stepped into the mansion step by step.
I haven't been back to my house for more than a month, and the weather in the house is different when I come back.
A few maids and ladies can be called well-behaved and honest, and they stand quietly on the side, like wooden stakes.
"Eldest Miss, Third Miss, please." A mother-in-law lowered her eyebrows and lifted the bamboo curtain of the Xiangfei Concubine and welcomed the person into the Songhe Hall.
The first thing the sisters of the Shen family did when they returned to the house was to ask the elder Mrs. Shen for peace, Shen Qinya pursed her lips and stood at the door, hesitating not knowing whether she should go in.
When they returned home this time, Mrs. Shen only sent a second-class mother-in-law to pick up people, and her treatment and situation were incomparable with those before the sunset.
Why did he fall out of favor, the Shen family didn't know, and Shen Qinya didn't know.
The child babbled through the fan screen of the landscape painting, and the old lady Shen laughed, "You monkey is not allowed to pee on my clothes anymore." Her tone was very soft, and she couldn't hear the rebuke at all, and she seemed to be happy between her words.
Shen Qinya couldn't help but be stunned, once upon a time, that qiē seemed to have happened to her, and her eyes turned red.
Shen Qinrou pulled the gaffe Shen Qinya, her face under the veil was facing her, and she glanced at her with a slight worry.
Shen Qinya also noticed her gaffe, after all, she was not a child who didn't understand anything, and shook her head at Shen Qinrou to signal that she didn't have to worry, and after another glance, she had returned to normal.
The two walked around the screen side by side and stood in front of Old Lady Shen and the others.
"Say hello to Grandmother."
Old Lady Shen smiled kindly, "They are all good children." His eyes circled around them and asked, "Are you feeling better?" ”
Shen Qinya replied, "Grandmother Xie is worried that my third sister and I are all well. ”
"That's good." Old Lady Shen said with a smile.
Shen Qinwei, who was leaning on Shen Lao's side, pouted and said coquettishly: "The eldest sister and the third sister don't send a message to the sisters in the house, which makes us worried." ”
Shen Qinrou raised her head when she heard the words and glanced at her lightly, and the corners of her mouth under the veil smiled faintly.
She laughed at her fourth sister, who hadn't seen her for a while, and still hadn't grown up at all, what was the matter with their daughters living in another courtyard and spreading messages all the time? As for Shen Qinwei, will she worry about them? Anyone believes? Although everyone is sisters, they have been fighting to the death for a long time, but they are covered by the surname Shen, and the surface is peaceful.
Although Mrs. Shen has alienated her eldest sister, after all, she has been in front of her for so many years, and her love is cold, but it does not mean that she has no feelings, and she is not necessarily willing to let Shen Qinwei step on them a few times.
Sure enough, in the next moment, although Mrs. Shen's face did not change, she did not show that she was unhappy, but directly beckoned Shen Qinya to come over, "The big girl came over and let me take a look, this person's eyes are not very good when he is old, how can he seem to have lost a lot." ”
Shen Qinya hid the sourness in her heart and walked over, Old Lady Shen's face was as kind and kind as before, but it was not the case in Shen Qinya's eyes.
During the period when Anping Anjin was sold, and Mrs. Shen treated her coldly, she thought about many problems alone, and many problems that she didn't dare to think about or face again.
Suffering makes people grow, not to mention that she almost died.
Shen Qinya came back to life, but she knew that she couldn't live like before, because the person in front of her had changed, and thinking of this, the depths of her pupils couldn't help but darken slightly.
"Grandmother." She hid the loss in her heart, walked over with an appropriate smile, and shouted crisply, and she couldn't see any dislike between her and Mrs. Shen.
In fact, there is no disagreement between the two.
When Mrs. Shen saw Shen Qinya, who had obviously lost a lot of weight in front of her, her heart was slightly touched, "Why did you lose so much weight." She took Shen Qinya's hand and looked it up and down.
Shen Qinya smiled, "My granddaughter has always been a little bitter. ”
Old Mrs. Shen sighed and explained lovingly, "Today, the village sent a basket of wild vegetable cores, which is the most refreshing to mix and eat, you can eat with rice, and use more anyway." While calling Zhu's mother to explain to the kitchen, she paid attention to Mingyueju's diet.
Mother Zhu hurriedly responded with a smile.
Old Mrs. Shen nodded, her eyes fell on Shen Renjie on her knees, only to see him babbling and muttering for a while, his eyes spinning, and he fell asleep like that.
The nurse took the sleeping Shen Renjie and retreated lightly.
Shen Qinwei pouted her pink little mouth, seeing that Mrs. Shen continued to care for Shen Qinya, her heart was very dissatisfied, although her temperament was a little restrained, but the nature of the country is easy to change, she is not the kind of humble and evasive character, seeing that the nurse took Shen Renjie away, she also said goodbye and went back to the hospital to lose her temper.
The people in the hall returned to the courtyard and were instructed to do things, so that the lively hall became a little deserted.
In the hall, there were four people: Mrs. Shen, Shen Qinya, Shen Qinrou, and Mother Zhu.
"Asaka." Old Lady Shen suddenly called out.
Mother Zhu's eyelids jumped, and she didn't know why Mrs. Shen suddenly thought of calling her maiden name, and she was busy responding.
"The thrush is your niece's business, why haven't I heard you mention it?" Old Mrs. Shen took a sip of tea and looked indifferent.
Mother Zhu's heart was beating rapidly, her tongue was a little dry, she spoke cautiously, for fear of angering Mrs. Shen, "The slave maid has been sold when she was very young, and she has never had any contact with the family, a few years ago, someone suddenly brought her to find the slave maid, saying that the slave maid's hometown has sent a lot of water, and everyone else has died and she is the only one left, it is the slave's eldest brother who brought her over before his death, I hope I will read some incense and leave a blood for the old Zhu family. Not to mention any feelings, leaving her down is only as if God has the virtue of a good life, and the right to raise a kitten and a puppy, how dare you use these things to bother you. ”
Old Mrs. Shen let out a "hmm", and Mother Zhu hung her head, letting a drop of cold sweat drip from her forehead.
After a pause, Old Lady Shen put the teacup aside and said slowly: "Chaoxia, you are too much of an outsider, you and I have been the master and servant for so many years, if you don't know, but since you know that the thrush is your niece, why can't I make good arrangements for her." ”
The concern inside and out of Mrs. Shen's words made Mother Zhu's heart fall into an ice cave, and her intuitive arrangement of Mrs. Shen was not a good thing.
"So be it." Old Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Qinya and smiled, "There is a shortage of a big girl next to the big girl, since the thrush is your niece and her own person, she will take care of the big girl, I can rest assured." ”
Mother Zhu's face turned pale, and she was not happy about Mrs. Shen's arrangement of the thrush, only Mrs. Shen and her knew the fact that Shen Qinya could no longer have children, what kind of heart did Mrs. Shen have for arranging her niece by Shen Qinya's side, Mother Zhu didn't dare to think about it, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she trembled, "Old lady, how can she afford the thrush." ”
Old Lady Shen interrupted her and said, "What can't you bear. ”
is as strong as Mrs. Shen, she directly made a decision.
