Chapter 193: Turning back, the beloved is a stranger
Shu Taijin stopped what Shu Yanjin was about to say, walked forward slowly, frowned and asked, "I don't know who this girl is?" β
Although Shu Taijin and Shu Yanjin are as luxurious and like beauties, but they have a little more brain than his cousin, so they are very valued by the Shu family, and in recent years, they want Shu Taijin to meddle in the business of Shu Mansion to make their family more prosperous and wealthy, and it is precisely because of this that Shu Taijin is several degrees more careful than Shu Yanjin in ordinary people.
Lin Mei covered her mouth and smiled sweetly, her big round eyes blinked like a kitten raised by Mrs. Shu, but her words were very unkind, "I asked you which Shu family you are before, and you didn't tell me, why should I answer your question now?" β
"How does this little lady speak......" Shu Yanjin couldn't get angry, dragging her voice, pinching her sleeve and pointing at Lin Mei and about to rush over.
"Cousin, wait a minute!" Shu Taijin hurriedly grabbed Shu Yanjin and calmed him down before looking at Lin Mei, twisting her eyebrows and saying in a deep voice, "This young lady, could it be ...... Wangjin's cousin's fiancΓ©e? β
Lin Mei put down her right hand that had been covering her lips, and there was a string of snow-white Bodhi beads on it, which was the one that Shu Wangjin gave her that day, and even Mrs. Shu was greedy.
"Speaking of which, you still have to call me a cousin!" Lin Mei raised her eyebrows and said, with a wanton smile on her face, her face was full of energy.
"You...... You are! Shu Yanjin seemed to be relatively timid, and she didn't know what she remembered, and she couldn't help but feel a little afraid when she looked at Lin Mei, and took a few steps back. It wasn't until he hid behind Shu Taijin that he sighed lightly.
"I am? I am...... Who am I, I am! You're really rude, and the difference between you and Shu Wangjin is too big, right? Are you two really from the same family? Oh, no, no, no...... I forgot. Your own clan can't be regarded as a Shu family! Look at my memory, I almost can't even tell the difference between relatives and relatives! β
Lin Mei raised her right hand again to cover the corners of her lips that were slightly upturned, her eyes narrowed slightly, this posture was still something she had learned from Mrs. Shu recently, but she couldn't learn that momentum.
Shu Taijin looked at Lin Mei's appearance in surprise at this time, who told him that Shu Wangjin's daughter-in-law was from the countryside and didn't understand anything, why did she look like this now. It is not an exaggeration to say that everyone is beautiful in Beijing!
"Taejin...... Why don't we go back first? Last time, we were involved in the Shu family's business without authorization, and Shu Wangjin was so miserable......" As soon as she talked about it, Shu Yanjin felt a lot of affection. Shu Wangjin almost got serious that time, if it weren't for the old lady of the Shu family who came forward to plead with Shu Wangjin, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to jump around like this now.
"Stop! Who let you go! Lin Mei said coldly, her eyebrows and eyes condensed. This is the Shu family's warehouse. Do you come here every day to inspect or to stock up? Even if it's inventory, it doesn't bother you, the Shu family has its own subordinates who count the goods, if there is something missing, it will not be good if there are ignorant subordinates who slander the two of them! β
Shu Taijin's face changed, and she only felt that the temper of this future sister-in-law was simply amazing, no wonder the extremely picky aunt could also agree that this temper was carved out of a mold at all!
Shu Yanjin was also frightened when she saw this, the reason why the two of them only dared to go around in the shop under the name of the Shu family. It is because there is Mrs. Shu in Shufu, and they also went to Shufu once when they were young. Originally, they had a bad idea to make Shu Wangjin and Shu Wenjin brothers make a fool of themselves in front of their relatives, but Mrs. Shu saw through their plan at a glance, and also used a trick to make the two of them beaten and scolded by their respective parents, so many years have passed, and they have always remembered it vividly.
Even if Mrs. Shu gave the biggest red envelope and the gentlest smile every time she saw Shu Yanjin later, this did not make him forget the shadow when he was a child, but made him even more afraid of Mrs. Shu, so now when he saw the smile on Lin Mei's face with the shadow of Mrs. Shu's past, his face turned pale with shock, and he just wanted to leave!
Shu Taijin smiled reluctantly, arched his hand and said, "Sister-in-law, these are all ignorant of the two of us...... Please don't blame ......"
Lin Mei still wanted to learn from Mrs. Shu's lazy appearance on weekdays to blow her nails, but when her plain white little hands were raised in front of her, she found that her dancome of any color was not dyed, so she could only cough dryly, pretended to put down her right hand calmly, stroked her hair, and said calmly, "Pay attention next time, I won't sue Mrs. Shu this time." β
Shu Taijin looked at Lin Mei's indifferent little appearance, and the corners of her mouth twitched, especially after listening to her last sentence, her heart was even more angry.
"In that case, the little brother will bother me next time......
"Don't, don't! Don't bother next time! You have been running to the Shu family's warehouse for the past three days, I don't have so much energy to serve you, and you are not Shu Wangjin......" Although Lin Mei's last sentence was very small, it still made Shu Yanjin and Shu Taijin hear it, and the last smile on her face that she barely maintained was shattered.
"That'...... The younger brother retired first......" Shu Yanjin left the Shu family's warehouse with an expressionless face, only to feel physically and mentally exhausted, more tired than secretly fighting with Shu Wangjin.
Lin Mei walked out of the door with the two of them, and then she hid a noble and indifferent smile, raised her proud face and happily invited Qingying to take credit, "I'm not bad at acting, right?" It's just that...... I really didn't expect Mrs. Shu to help me ......"
Mrs. Shu has long been impatient with the behavior of Shu Yanjin and Shu Taijin, and yesterday she knew that Lin Mei was going to come to the warehouse in the west of the city to check on them, so she taught Lin Mei how to deal with them.
"It's just ......" Lin Mei was still a little depressed, she really didn't know how to evaluate Mrs. Shu, even when she taught people, she looked arrogant and disdainful, I really don't know how Shu Wangjin grew up so healthy in such an environment......
"Mrs. Shu has always been like this, Miss Lin doesn't have to care, what's more, if Mrs. really doesn't care about Miss Lin, then she won't teach Miss Lin personally." Qingying has also stayed in Shu Mansion for several years, although it is not as clear as Shu Zhouqing's words and their master's temperament, but they are much stronger than Lin Mei.
"I know. You don't have to worry about me tiptoeing. Lin Mei smiled and grabbed Qingying's arm and walked with her to the warehouse, "Shu Wangjin told me when she went to Los Angeles. Mrs. Shu and Master Shu are both good people, so I don't have to be so afraid of them on weekdays, and I spend more time with them......"
Lin Mei was not angry when she heard this, she grabbed Qingying's arm with a smile, walked towards the warehouse with a relaxed step, and said politely, "I'm not so stingy." Besides, Shu Wangjin talked to me when she went to Los Angeles, and Mrs. Shu and Master Shu are both good people. So that I don't have to be so afraid of them on weekdays, and spend more time with them......"
It turned out that he had talked with Lin Mei the night before Shu Wangjin rushed to Los Angeles, but at the end, Shu Wangjin pleaded with Lin Mei with a heavy face. I hope she can take care of her parents more. If there is anything offended, he will personally apologize to Lin Mei when he returns.
Qingying Ren Lin Mei pulled herself, and thought to herself: Shu Wangjin is really thorough, and everything has been appeased, no wonder he can leave Beijing so reassuringly......
At this moment, a middle-aged man walked over quickly, first saluted Lin Mei, and then whispered. "Miss Lin, Miss Qingying, a few days ago, I deliberately released the news according to your instructions. Sure enough, as you expected, those thieves couldn't wait in an instant, and they didn't dare to start two days ago because of the increase in the guards in the warehouse, and they jumped over the wall in a hurry last night, and they happened to let the Han steward who was guarding here catch it! β
"Caught? Where are they kept? Take us to see it! Lin Mei couldn't stop laughing when she heard the news, although this idea and trap were laid by Shu Wangjin a long time ago, but no matter how you say it, she also has her part, which is called honor!
"Is Steward Han Zhao also there?" Qing Ying frowned suspiciously, although Han Zhao was only the manager of Shu Mansion, his status was also high in front of his subordinates, how could he personally guard it?
The middle-aged man saw at a glance that Lin Mei was just an empty appearance, and the real person in charge was Qingying next to her, but Lin Mei was the master, so he replied to Lin Mei's words first, "Miss Lin, the villain will take you there...... Miss Qingying, since the last time the goods in the warehouse were lost, Steward Han blamed himself very much, and vowed to catch the thief, and he had been guarding it for several nights. β
"How many nights? And what about him now? Are you still guarding over those thieves? Lin Mei only felt strange when she heard this, so she asked casually.
"After catching that group of thieves last night, we persuaded Steward Han to go back and rest, presumably we will come later." The middle-aged man hung his head in front of him and led the way, and he knew everything about Lin Mei's questioning.
Qingying took half a step back and silently followed behind Lin Mei, trying to do her duty to do what a maid should do, she couldn't change the temper of the eldest lady on weekdays when she first entered the Shu Mansion, and was honestly cleaned up by Mrs. Shu to get rid of her previous bad habits, and no longer think of herself as the former Miss of the General's Mansion.
"I see...... Big brother, thank you. Lin Mei saw that the middle-aged man's dress was not like an ordinary person, so she solemnly thanked him, but she didn't expect to provoke the middle-aged man's surprised gaze.
"Miss Lin doesn't have to be so polite, this is our duty as subordinates......"
When the two were polite, they suddenly came to the firewood room used to hold the thief who stole it, and there were many guards guarding outside the door.
"So many people guarding? How terrible must that thief be...... I, I'm not going! Lin Mei stood at the door and hesitated, pulling Qingying's sleeve and whispering, obviously thinking about the group of bandits she encountered when she came to the capital.
"Miss Lin, the eldest young master said, if you don't want to go in for interrogation, let me send you back first, the thief has been caught, and the rest of the matter will be handed over to the next person." Qingying saw that Lin Mei was really frightened, so she proposed to send her home.
Lin Mei bit her lower lip and frowned and looked at the firewood room, she didn't want to live up to the expectations of Shu Wangjin and Mrs. Shu, but ......
"Let's go back first......"
Qing Ying didn't mean to blame on his face, just nodded lightly, turned his head and whispered a few words to Uncle Liang who was following him, and then helped Lin Mei to walk out, his voice was slightly soft, "It's me who is not good, I actually forgot that you met bandits when you came to Beijing......"
Shu Wangjin also took this matter into consideration, so he said that if Lin Mei really didn't want to interrogate those thieves in person, she didn't have to force it.
"Miss Lin, I just think that you ...... Really happy and lucky. "What a blessing to meet a man like Shu Wangjin! Everything has been considered, everything has been arranged, in such a dynasty where men are respected, how rare is a man like Shu Wangjin!
"Huh? Again...... What's wrong? Lin Mei looked at Qingying in surprise, really puzzled what was going on.
Qingying lowered her head and smiled faintly, with a rare smile on her face, "It's okay, I'll send you back to the house first, and the things here can be handed over to Uncle Liang, and then I'll come here again." β
"I'm really sorry, it would be nice if Yufei was here, she is the smartest of the three of us, and this kind of mind-stirring thing is often handed over to her......"
Who knew that before Lin Mei's words were finished, three or four people rushed out of the firewood room, dressed in black, and the black cloth covering their faces had already been uncovered, so they ran out with their bare hands, and when they saw Lin Mei standing nearby, they couldn't help but have a trace of cruel light flashing in their eyes, and they wanted to come over and kidnap Lin Mei before everyone could react.
Qing Ying swept his eyes coldly, jumped over directly on his tiptoes and kicked the leader of the bandits aside, standing firmly beside Lin Mei and staring at those tall and strong black-clothed bandits, and snorted lightly with disdain in his mouth.
"Miss Lin, are you okay?" Uncle Liang hurriedly hugged him and asked anxiously.
Only then did the other guards react, and rushed forward with the long knives in their hands to surround the four fierce-looking bandits, and the guards led by them were obviously unable to get over their faces, and shouted angrily, "You are so bold! Dare to steal to the Shu family! β
"I'm fine...... Uncle Liang, please rest assured. Lin Mei also shouted Uncle Liang with Qingying, and then turned her head to look at the group of thieves who were surrounded by the guards of the Shu Mansion, and unintentionally put her right hand on her wildly beating hearty liver, raised her eyebrows and said, "You are so brutal, are you really just here to steal medicinal herbs from the Shu family?" "Why did these people seem like outlaws to her......
"Medicinal herbs?! What herbs? Uncle is here to steal gold! One of the young men with scars on his face slurped hard, glared at Lin Mei, and then raised his head and said no more. (To be continued.) )
