Knowing that Mrs. Qin agreed to see her, Shen Jingfang breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, her heart also lifted. She knew very well that after she went in, she was very likely to ruin her marriage.

But she had to do it anyway.

The Xu family has the grace of nurturing her, and she can't ignore it no matter what.

This time, it should be regarded as her repaying the Xu family's kindness to her.

When Shen Jingfang followed the maid to the main house where Qin Shu lived, her expression had completely recovered to normal.

Qin Shu met her in the living room of the west room, Zhou Zhen'er stood aside, and when Shen Jingfang came in, she was talking to Qin Shu, with a smile on her face that she didn't have time to restrain herself. Mama Shi, Mama Zhang, as well as winter snow and autumn frost, accompanied them to talk and laugh. Only the winter rains and autumn clouds are not here.

Shen Jingfang stepped forward and saluted Qin Shufu respectfully and respectfully, "Jingfang greets Mrs. Qin." ”

Qin Shu didn't get angry with Shen Jingfang because of Mrs. Xu, after all, Mrs. Xu is Mrs. Xu, she is her, what's more, she is just Mrs. Xu's daughter-in-law, as long as she can carry it. Therefore, he said lightly: "Miss Shen doesn't have to be polite, please sit down!" ”

"Mrs. Xie Qin." Shen Jingfang answered, straightened up, and then sat diagonally on a chair at the bottom of the head.

Then he hung his head and said nothing. I don't know how to speak.

After all, it's hard to talk about.

Qin Shu didn't mention it, but asked her what she had been doing recently.

Shen Jingfang answered them one by one, it was nothing more than doing some reading, practicing calligraphy, embroidery, etc., otherwise, it was just taking a walk, or helping Mrs. Xu to help.

Qin Shu nodded and asked with some interest, "When did you come to the Xu family and be accepted by the Xu family."

Raised? ”

Shen Jingfang was stunned for a moment, and then said respectfully: "When I was nine years old, after both parents passed away, I was taken to the Xu family by my stepfather, and it has been more than six years. ”

It's a coincidence that when she adopted You'an, he was about the same age.

"Is there anyone else in the house?" Qin Shu asked again.

Shen Jingfang shook her head slightly and said calmly, "No." Even if there is, it has long been lost. ”

Otherwise, her biological father would not have entrusted her to her stepfather.

Qin Shu was surprised, no wonder Shen Jingfang was so dedicated to the Xu family, with her cleverness, it was impossible not to guess that she had become an abandoned son of the Xu family this time.

The Xu family probably wanted to sacrifice her marriage to keep Mrs. Xu's maiden family.

But she still came, and moreover, she was so calm that she didn't complain at all.

At least, since she came in, Qin Shu hadn't seen any anger, dissatisfaction and grievances on her face, but she was a lot more silent than before. It shows that this incident still has an impact on her.

A person like her, even if she is very scheming and means, is not an ungrateful person.

Because of this, Qin Shu felt a lot less rejection and dissatisfaction with her in her heart, and she didn't talk to her anymore, and asked directly: "Your intention to come this time, I understand in my heart, it should be for the Huang family's incident, right?" ”

When Shen Jingfang heard this, she quickly stood up and said, "Exactly." ”

Then, he knelt on his knees, kowtowed to Qin Shu and said, "Please also ask Madame to be merciful and spare the Huang family, the Xu and Huang families are grateful to Madame." ”

"Did you want to come, or did someone force you to come?" Seeing her like this, Qin Shu was not moved in the slightest, and only stared at Shen Jingfang, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked.

Shen Jingfang's expression moved slightly, and a trace of hesitation flashed in her eyes.

"Yes...... I came of my own free will, and no one forced me. As the adopted daughter of the Xu family, I always have to repay my parents for their nurturing kindness. ”

Qin Shu nodded slightly.

Shen Jingfang actually told her that the reason why she came to see Qin Shu was not for the Huang family, but to repay the kindness of the Xu family.

In fact, the Xu family couldn't tolerate her not agreeing.

Shen Jingfang is a very knowledgeable and intelligent person, and she knows what to do is best for herself.

It is much better for her to take the initiative to intercede than to be forced to come in the end.

"What if I still refuse to let go of the Huang family?" Qin Shu asked.

When Shen Jingfang heard this, she slowly straightened up and looked at Qin Shu, who also looked at her with a smile.

Shen Jingfang lowered her eyes and said respectfully: "Jingfang didn't have the luxury of expecting her to change her mind, she just wanted to have a clear conscience." ”

She agreed to her stepmother's request and tried her best, no matter what the result was, at least she had no guilt for the Xu family in her heart.

The Xu family can't blame her.

"A clear conscience?" Qin Shu smiled lightly, "Well, that's good, it's finally a little self-aware." Alright, you go back first! ”

Shen Jingfang couldn't guess what Qin Shu was thinking, and she didn't know whether she agreed or not, so she couldn't help but feel uneasy in her heart. But it had come to this, and it was useless for her to think about it. This was much better than the result she had imagined, at least Madam Qin didn't beat her out or give her a look. This made her a little more grateful to Qin Shu.

If she is also beaten out, how will she have a face to see people in the future?

"Madam, then Jingfang took her leave first." She stood up and respectfully blessed Qin Shu before turning around and leaving. There is no intention of not being reluctant at all, staying and entangled with Qin Shu.

After Shen Jingfang left, Qin Shu said to Zhou Zhen'er again: "You can go back too, you don't have to wait here." ”

Zhou Zhen'er came back to her senses, answered, and left with her girl.

When Zhou Zhen'er came out, Shen Jingfang hadn't gone far. She hurriedly lifted her skirt and trotted after it.

"Miss Shen, please wait."

Shen Jingfang stopped, turned around, saw Zhou Zhen'er, a smile appeared on her face, and said, "It turned out to be Aunt Zhou, is there something wrong with you?" ”

Zhou Zhen'er hasn't exercised for a long time, and her body is not as strong as when she was a child, and she just ran such a short run

Zhuang, just after running such a short distance, he was a little out of breath, his cheeks were a little red, and he looked a little more delicate.

When Zhou Zhen'er heard the inquiry, her face turned red, in fact, she didn't think about what she wanted to say to Shen Jingfang.

She envied and longed for a dignified woman like Shen Jingfang, who was not in a hurry when she encountered problems, because this was something she would never be able to do.

If she was in Shen Jingfang's position, she would never be like her, but would resent her as an abandoned father and mother.

But she can act as if she is nothing, not only does she do her best for the Xu family, but she can still laugh so far.

Perhaps, this is the gap between her and the other party!

"I don't have anything to do, it's just that I feel a little unworthy for you." Zhou Zhen'er frowned and said, "They do this, don't you hate them at all?" ”

When Shen Jingfang heard this, she first glanced at her in surprise, seeing that she was really worried about herself, and even had a little indignation on her face, she was a little moved in her heart, she shook her head slightly and said, "Nothing is not worth it!" The Xu family has raised me for so long, I should also make some sacrifices for the Xu family, I have to do this. I dare not hate, and I can't hate. Otherwise, how will she get along with them in the future?

Zhou Zhen'er was silent.

"If Aunt Zhou has nothing else to do, I'll leave first, and my stepmother is still waiting for me." Shen Jingfang said again.

"yes, okay." Zhou Zhen'er sighed secretly in her heart and didn't say anything anymore.

She had mixed feelings about Shen Jingfang.

It used to be envy and jealousy, but now, it's more sympathy.

Zhou Zhen'er is a person who cherishes the weak, and Shen Jingfang's situation made her feel a little pity for her, so she couldn't help but run over to comfort and comfort.

It's a pity that what Shen Jingfang doesn't need the most is this kind of sympathy and pity, because she is strong enough.

Shen Jingfang finally smiled at Zhou Zhen'er, and then turned around and left.

Zhou Zhen'er stood in place and saw that she was far away, so she slowly returned to her yard.

On the way, she asks her maid, "Fluttershy, do you think I should help Miss Shen?" She's so pathetic. ”

Zhou Zhen'er has both parents, and there is a big brother above, who has been favored since childhood, except for some twists and turns in marriage, it has been smooth sailing from the inside, and now, she has married the person she likes as she wishes, and Aunt Qin has a much better attitude towards her, and there is no trouble at all.

But Miss Shen was sent under the fence by both her parents, and now she is used by her father-in-law and mother-in-law as an outcast.

Compared with Miss Shen, she is too happy.

Fluttershy can't help but roll her eyes. If she had crossed over, she would have said that Miss's heart had begun to attack again.

Don't always look for something to do, okay? This is not something they can meddle in.

Although she thought so, she dutifully persuaded her: "Miss, don't talk nonsense, our own life is not good, what do you care about others?" Even if you help her, she may not remember you. ”

In case Shen Jingfang really marries the marshal, let alone Miss Thanksgiving, maybe she will have to deal with her! Miss still wants to help her, I really don't know what she thinks?

Zhou Zhen'er sighed: "I don't want her to remember me, I just want to help her." ”

"Miss, you just want to help her, you have to see what's going on!" Fluttershy said weakly, "What if you helped Miss Shen and were misunderstood by Madame?" If you work so hard, you may lose all your efforts. Is it worth it to lose your happiness for her? ”

"How is that possible?" Zhou Zhen'er said in surprise, "I just want to say something for Aunt Qin in front of her, Aunt Qin shouldn't misunderstand!" ”

She knew that the woman the marshal liked was Miss Shen, and she herself admired her. It is better for Miss Shen to be her own housemother than a strange woman to be her housemother. Miss Shen has such a good temper, she will definitely not treat her badly.

How can there be no misunderstanding? Do you even know how strict this is? Speaking for Shen Jingfang is speaking for the culprit of the Huang family, how can Mrs. like it?

However, Fluttershy doesn't say these words, after all, she's just a maid, and says, "Anyway, the slave doesn't think it's appropriate." Whether Mrs. is important, or Miss Shen is important, Miss, you can weigh it yourself! ”

After saying that, he stopped persuading.

Anyway, she said everything that should be said. If you say more, you will be overstepping.

A maid can persuade the master, but cannot make decisions for the master.

Zhou Zhen'er showed embarrassment on her face.

In her heart, it is naturally Aunt Qin who is more important. However, Miss Shen is also very pitiful, and she is the woman that the marshal wants to ask to marry, if the marshal comes back and knows that she will not save Miss Shen when she sees death, what will he think of her in his heart? Will you be angry with her? Think she's selfish and unsympathetic?

In the final analysis, what she cares about most is Qin Youan's opinion.

"Well, I'm still thinking about it!" After hesitating for a long time, Zhou Zhen'er still couldn't make up her mind, and said with a sigh.

The master and servant returned to their courtyard like this.

……

Shen Jingfang walked out of the gate of the Marshal's Mansion and saw Mrs. Xu and others waiting not far away.

Seeing her, Mrs. Xu hurriedly greeted her, took her hand and said, "Jingfang, how is it?" Did Mrs. Qin relent? ”

As he spoke, he looked at her.

found that Shen Jingfang's clothes and hairstyles were not messy, and there was no embarrassment on her face, so she knew that she had not encountered difficulties, and looking at her eyes, she couldn't help but be more anxious.

It seems that she did the right thing by asking Jingfang to come over to intercede this time.

Old Madam Huang and Weng also greeted her and looked at her expectantly.

Shen Jingfang lowered her head as if ashamed, didn't dare to look at them, bit her lower lip sadly, shook her head guiltily, and said, "Mother, my daughter is incompetent and has disappointed her mother. ”

Mrs. Xu's face changed drastically, and she held her tightly

grabbed her hand and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Didn't Mrs. Qin agree? What she said. ”

"My daughter pleaded with Mrs. Qin, but Mrs. Qin didn't say anything, so she let me come back." Shen Jingfang said.

Mrs. Xu said with an ugly face: "You didn't beg her again?" Maybe you ask a few more times and she'll agree? ”

Shen Jingfang said: "I'm afraid that if I anger Mrs. Qin, it will be self-defeating, and it will be even more difficult to speak in the future." ”

Mrs. Xu's face was even more ugly, she was like this yesterday, making things worse and worse.

Although she was dissatisfied in her heart, she was not good at reprimanding Shen Jingfang. can only say: "How can this be the same, you are Mrs. Qin's prospective daughter-in-law." If she doesn't give me face, she will give you face. ”

"Mother, don't say that again." Shen Jingfang suddenly said when she heard this, "My daughter is just a willow posture, and she has no talent and no virtue, how can she marry the high-ranking Marshal Qin!" Therefore, don't say this, otherwise, the daughter will be embarrassed. ”

After saying that, his eyes were red.

This is the first time she has been so out of shape in front of everyone.

There are both true feelings and false intentions.

but frightened Mrs. Xu and others.

When Mrs. Xu saw her like this, she felt guilty and distressed, after all, she had been raised for so many years, and she was sorry for her daughter, thinking of her previous plan, she felt a little weak.

He coughed lightly and said, "Okay, I won't talk about this matter in the future." ”

I also think in my heart that the marriage between Jingfang and Marshal Qin is yellow.

Seeing that Mrs. Xu seemed to be soft-hearted and guilty, Mrs. Huang hurriedly tugged on her sleeve.

Mrs. Xu returned to her senses, but she didn't ask Shen Jingfang again, but couldn't help crying: "Now, the methods have been exhausted, how can this be good?" ”

Old Madam Huang had no choice but to go into battle in person and asked, "Jingfang, is there no other way?" ”

Shen Jingfang was silent for a while, and suddenly thought of Zhou Zhen'er's compassionate gaze when she looked at herself, and said: "I see that Mrs. Qin seems to be very fond of Aunt Zhou, why don't you take Aunt Zhou's path, maybe it will play a role?" ”

"Aunt Zhou?" Old Madam Huang and Mrs. Xu frowned at the same time, and Mrs. Xu asked even more worriedly, "Will she speak for us?" ”

remembered that she still helped Mrs. Qin scold them at the beginning, and now, when they begged her, would she agree?

Shen Jingfang shook her head and said, "My daughter doesn't know either, it's still a way after all." ”

Mrs. Xu's eyes rolled, and she finally moved her mind.

Why didn't she think of it before!

Zhou Zhen'er is innocent and kind, easy to talk, and it is not difficult to convince her.

Moreover, not only can she help them speak in front of Mrs. Qin, maybe even Marshal Qin, she can speak. When you think about it, it's a good idea.

……

After Shen Jingfang and Zhou Zhen'er left one after another, Qin Shu felt a little bored after sitting alone for a while, stood up from the Luohan couch, looked out the window, and said, "The sun is just right today, let's go to the yard for a walk." ”

Although there is no good scenery at this time, it is also good to breathe in the fresh air and bask in the sun. By the way, let's see how the girls are doing.

The crowd hurriedly took action.

Two quarters of an hour later, Qin Shu was already standing in the courtyard of the female student.

They were fighting in pairs on the small martial arts arena, and Cheng Qiuyu stood aside to guide them.

Tian Mei, Xia Tong and others are all there, and their injuries are no longer serious. Seeing Qin Shu, everyone wanted to salute, Qin Shu waved her hand, telling them not to be distracted and continue to practice.

When Cheng Qiuyu saw Qin Shu, she instructed the students a few words, walked up to her, and said with some resentment: "You can be counted here, throw everyone to me, you are free by yourself, I thought you forgot all of us!" When do you also point their fingers? ”

Qin Shu smiled: "I've been here for a while, if it weren't for something in the past two days, why wouldn't I come?" ”

It's just that she often leaves after a short stop, handing them over to Cheng Qiuyu to teach. Speaking of which, it's a bit like a hands-off shopkeeper.

After thinking about it, he said, "Okay, I'll instruct them today." ”

"That's great." After Cheng Qiuyu finished speaking, he said to the fifty female students: "The leader said, I will personally point at you today, and you still don't show your true skills to the leader." ”

The female students were very excited, and one by one they came forward to ask for advice.

Qin Shu was also interested, not only gave guidance, but also went down to demonstrate in person, but she stayed for nearly a morning, fortunately, when she came, she changed her outfit.

After some activities and sweating, Qin Shu planned to go back, said goodbye to Cheng Qiuyu, and left the courtyard with the maid Qiushuang.

Qin Shu was sweating, afraid that the wind would catch a cold, so she wiped the sweat on her forehead and neck with a handkerchief while walking.

However, as soon as Qin Shu put away the veil, he saw a strange man in front of him, who was wearing a scribe's uniform with wide robes and large sleeves, and his appearance looked very ordinary, which was unforgettable. He stood on the side of the road, looking around, as if he had lost his way.

The courtyard where the female students are taught is relatively eastward, and the mansion on the east road is mostly occupied by some marshal's cronies, generals and staff.

However, they know that there are female students here, and they generally don't come here, so the chances of encountering them are not great.

The people who live in the Marshal's Mansion, Qin Shu has basically seen them, but he has never seen the person in front of him.

I'm not done yet, I'm going to pass it on first, and I'll add it before half past mid. It should be possible to catch up.
