Chapter 23: Suspicion
Wan Ning is twelve years old, and Brother Kun is six years old, this kind of behavior is inevitably too close, unless it is a biological brother and sister at home.
Mrs. Shen Si didn't expect Wan Ning to do this.
Wan Ning smiled slightly behind Brother Kun.
That's nice.
If she is half weak, she will die of illness, and she will not be able to see Brother Kun, and she will not take her mother to her side in the future.
She liked Brother Kun, that kind of blood intimacy, and she wanted to reach out and hug him.
That's how life should be, and when you rejoice, you should rejoice.
When you are sad, you should be sad, don't hide it, and don't hide it.
This is the greatest joy of being alive.
No wonder my aunt would tell Brother Kun that she was Brother Kun's dearest sister.
The dearest sister.
Perhaps the meaning of this sentence should be understood literally.
Brother Kun is similar to her, every time her aunt mentions her mother, she is grateful and guilty, and when she sees her, she wants Brother Kun to be close to her, but she can't help but clench Brother Kun's hand.
My aunt was always nervous and scared, as if she was afraid that someone would take Brother Kun away from her.
This kind of affection will not appear in a biological mother, and the cousin of the uncle is like an overly worried adoptive mother.
According to Brother Kun's birthday and his aunt's words, if his mother found out about Brother Kun when she left the Yao family, it is very likely that Brother Kun will be left in the Shen family.
First, Brother Kun is a boy, and when he returns to the Yao family, can his stepmother tolerate this eldest son.
Second, my uncle's only heir is congenitally insufficient, if there is Brother Kun in the Shen family, the Shen family will not only have someone to inherit, but the mother will also have someone to support in the future.
It's the best of both worlds.
Maybe Brother Kun is her own brother.
She can open her mouth and ask her aunt, and she can know the answer just by asking her aunt.
But now, she can't ask.
Uncle and aunt were so cautious, she didn't want to burden them any more, no matter what, she would treat Brother Kun as if she were her own brother.
……
Sending Wanning into the carriage, Mrs. Shen Si went directly to the hall.
Shen Jingyuan was looking at the accounts in his hand, and when he heard footsteps, he raised his head and saw the tears on his wife's face.
"What's wrong?" Shen Jingyuan frowned.
The subordinates walked out of the house one after another, and Shen Jingyuan and Mrs. Shen Si, who were in a trance, entered the side room together.
Sitting on the big kang near the window, Mrs. Shen Si couldn't help crying, "Master, I think Wanning knows everything." ”
There is no beginning or end to a sentence, it was fine just now, but now I am sad.
"What's going on? What does Wan Ning know? ”
Mrs. Shen Si raised her face, her eyes were already red, "I know about Brother Kun." ”
This time it was Shen Jingyuan's turn to be surprised, and he said after a while: "Wanning asked you?" When he asked this, he looked at Mrs. Shen Si carefully, for fear of hearing something he didn't want to hear.
At least now he doesn't want to hear it.
"No," Mrs. Shen shook her head, "but...... Wan Ning hugged Brother Kun when she was leaving. ”
"And then?"
Mrs. Shen shook her head.
Shen Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought something was wrong, didn't I just like Brother Kun so I hugged it, and my aunt and brother didn't do it, you just thought too much to be suspicious, Wanning was only twelve years old, you didn't say it, I didn't say it, how could you see it." ”
Listening to the master's persuasion, Mrs. Shen Si also calmed down and wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief, "I really think too much?" ”
"Think about it, you also know that Wan Ning is not doing well in the Yao family, hugging Brother Kun is because he treats us as the closest people," Shen Jingyuan said and sat on the chair, "You still have to take care of the two children, and you can't mess up at a critical moment." ”
Is it really that she is thinking too much?
Mrs. Shen Si was just about to speak again, when Brother Kun's crisp voice came from outside, "I want to give the candy made by the seventh sister to my father and mother, the sugar made by the seventh sister is really delicious." ”
Hearing Brother Kun's voice, Mrs. Shen Si immediately had a smile on her face.
"Let Brother Kun come in!"
Brother Kun ran in quickly, holding a plate in his hand, and the nurse followed behind and shouted, "Sixth master, sixth master, slow down." ”
"Don't chase him, let him go by himself, how can he not hold a plate when he is so big."
Shen Jingyuan's face was stiff, but he couldn't hide his loving expression.
The nurse hurriedly stopped, and watched Brother Kun hand the plate to the old man and his wife.
"Father, mother, look."
Mrs. Shen Si looked down and couldn't help but be surprised, "What is this?" ”
What is this? It looks so delicate and fun that people can't help but want to get one.
"I feed my mother how to eat." Brother Kun shouted happily and stretched out his little hand to pick up the soft candy and put it into Mrs. Shen's mouth.
A bite of the soft.
Never had sugar like this.
With some glutinous taste, it is not as sweet as ordinary candy, but a faint sweetness, which makes people bite and are reluctant to bite.
What is this?
What kind of candy is this?
……
Master Li sent someone to ask Mrs. Li about her situation, "How is Mrs. Li?" ”
The next person said: "I'm still waiting for Miss Yao Qi." ”
Still waiting.
Every day, as long as it is the time for Miss Yao Qi to come, Rong Zhen is indescribably happy, and yesterday he made a plate of osmanthus cake with the cook and the cook.
The two husbands and wives sat in the house, ate a plate of osmanthus cake for a night, chewed carefully, swallowed carefully, looked at the moon overhead, how many years have not been like this, such a life has been lost and regained, as if living again.
After eating, Rong Zhen said a word to him, I thought that sitting with the master like this again would be a matter of the next life.
This kind of life is a matter of the next life.
It's like a world away.
Hearing that, tears welled up in his eyes.
"Is Yao's medicine useful?" The voice came out of the mouth of Xie Yanji next to him.
Master Li almost didn't think about it, "It's useful, now as long as you don't see Miss Yao Qi for a day, you won't be able to sit still." ”
Xie Yanji said: "I found a doctor from Yangzhou and asked him to see Miss Yao Qi's prescription, and it would be better to have more people in detail." ”
Master Li shook his head, "Miss Yao Qi doesn't prescribe medicine. ”
Don't prescribe medication?
It is the same as the rumors outside, and he does not prescribe medicine.
This Li Zinian is confused, so he dares to let Miss Yao Qi mess around.
"It's really nonsense," Xie Yanji couldn't help but say, "How can there be such a thing, don't forget what you came to Taixing for this time." ”
Li Zinian couldn't help but look at the man sitting next to him.
Dressed in a blue robe, he listened to them with his eyebrows lowered, and the sun reflected mottled shadows coming in and out, but he was as quiet as a landscape.
Xie Yanji has always had a bad temper, and now he is even more violent.
Li Zinian frowned and said, "Insiders don't talk nonsense." ”
"A twelve-year-old woman makes you believe like this, and you don't want to think about it, who is behind her?" Xie Yanji got up from his chair.
It started to rain like beans again.
I don't know who walked in with a yellow oil umbrella, and the sound of raindrops hitting the umbrella just drowned out Xie Yanji's words.
The people in the house looked up into the courtyard.
I saw only an umbrella and half of a cyan dress floating in the air.
The rain was falling in a hurry.
But she walked very slowly, naturally, unhurriedly, lifting her skirt all the way to let people huddle forward.
The subordinates on both sides had already submerged her delicate figure.
"Miss Yao Qi is here."
The next man went into the house to make a statement.
This is Miss Yao Qi.
This Miss Yao Qi.
Xie Yanji sneered and waited for Master Li, "You are still not the Li Zinian who is not afraid of death?" I was fooled by a woman. ”
"Yiting, you have something to say." Xie Yanji was so anxious that he stomped his feet.
"This is Lord Li's family matter," Cui Yiting took the tea and drank it, "But Lord Li, don't forget the relationship between Miss Yao Qi and the Shen family." ”
"The Shen family is a businessman," Speaking of the Shen family, a hint of mockery flashed in Cui Yiting's eyebrows, "The Shen family has recently collected grain in Taizhou Mansion, and businessmen don't do loss-making transactions. ”
Shangjia only knows how to talk about interests, and the Shen family, which relies on rice and salt to prosper the family, is especially good at calculation.
Miss Yao Qi, from a weak young lady to such a skill, there must be the Shen family behind her.
Xie Yanji's words are right, Li Zinian should indeed be careful.
Don't be taken advantage of by those who have their interests in their hearts.
Shang Jia is good at doing these things, especially the Shen family.
Xie Yanji said coldly: "Don't forget, who will transport the grain they are greedy for, when the time comes, it will really find out to the Shen family, and the Shen family will bite back, Miss Yao Qi begs you for help, will you help?" ”
Li Zinian never thought about this.
"I've traveled thousands of miles to find you a good doctor, and you don't look at it, and you want me to tell me what is good for you." Xie Yanji's eyes widened.
That woman is that powerful?
Let hard bones like Li Zinian bow their heads.
"Since you can cure diseases, are you afraid that other doctors will check the pulse?" Xie Yanji said, "It's not that I'm afraid of people poking her tricks." ”
Xie Yanji's voice just fell.
A subordinate walked to the porch in broken steps, and before he had time to put away the umbrella in his hand, he just wiped the rain on his forehead and said, "Master, Miss Yao Qi said that since there is a famous doctor in the family, it is better to invite in to check the pulse of Mrs." ”
Just send it to the door.
It's a lot of guts.
