Chapter 203: Gloomy Sadness
Although Xiao Yihan was told that he was in his heart, Shen Yunxi still didn't want to pay attention to Feng Qingchen, even if he was an assassin, he was also injured, even if he would misunderstand her because of this, she didn't want to deal with him at this time.
Therefore, when she walked in front of Feng Qingchen, she didn't stop at all.
And Feng Qingchen didn't stop her anymore. Maybe I'm really disappointed and misunderstood by her behavior today. Or maybe it's angry.
Shen Yunxi walked in front of him with a straight waist and got into the carriage directly.
The coachman knew Feng Qingchen, and was about to wait a little longer to see if he still had action, when he saw Feng Qingchen striding out of the carriage and ordered the coachman to drive away.
Shen Yunxi sat in the car, listening to the sound of the wheel, his heart sank, he stretched out his hand to lift the curtain of the car, and sure enough, he saw the familiar carriage galloping away.
A wry smile rose at the corner of her lips, what is she doing here in a gloomy mood! Could it be that he still hopes that the prince will come to appease her feelings after being injured?
I really take myself too seriously!
But another reason why she has so much is what he said last night, that she won't be amicable to him until she has been verified. What's more, she was already skeptical of his statement.
Shen Yunxi put down the curtain of the car, put away his depressed thoughts, and ordered the coachman to drive away.
The carriage did not return to the palace, but went in the direction of the Shen mansion.
Feng Qingchen's words, she should also find Shen Mutian to verify and verify, in addition, there are some accounts, she has to go to Shen Yunyou to calculate one or two.
As soon as she returned to the Shen Mansion, Shen Yunxi met Steward Li in the front yard, and after a few words with him, she asked where Shen Mutian was. It's just that, unfortunately, this time Shen Mutian was not in the mansion.
"Miss, it's unfortunate that you're here, the old man went to Tuoyang Town early in the morning today. It will take a day or two to get back. ”
Shen Yunxi nodded with some disappointment, "It's okay, Steward Li will go and get busy with you first." ”
Steward Li wanted to ask her what was the matter with the master, but when he heard her say this, he shut up, nodded and turned around to go about his own business.
However, looking at his departing back, Shen Yunxi suddenly thought of something, turned around and immediately called Steward Li: "Steward Li, wait a minute." "Why did she almost forget, in addition to asking Shen Mutian about some things, she can also be Steward Li. He was a man who had been in the Shen Mansion for some days.
Steward Li stopped and smiled kindly: "Miss is still in trouble?" ”
"Steward Li, you've been with my dad for many years, haven't you?" Shen Yunxi walked up to him and asked.
"Yes." Steward Li replied with a smile: "I have followed the old lady since I started doing chores, and then I followed the old man, and after careful calculation, I have been in the Shen Mansion for more than forty years." ”
Shen Yunxi was taken aback by this number, forty years is a long time.
"So, do you remember anything about the last few years?" Shen Yunxi asked again.
"I remember all the important things in general, although I am older now, but I take everything about the Shen family to heart, if there is anything Miss wants to know, just ask." Steward Li was stunned for a moment, and then replied respectfully.
has been by Shen Mutian's side for all these years, and he can still understand some things. Although Shen Yunxi didn't say much, he could also read something from her words.
Hearing him say this, Shen Yunxi was overjoyed, and then asked Steward Li what Feng Qingchen said about Shen Mutian, and Steward Li was a little strange at first when she asked about those things, but he also told her word for word.
His answer was consistent with Feng Qingchen's rhetoric.
Although she didn't remember the events of five years ago so clearly, she still vaguely remembered them when she heard Steward Li say it now. In those days, Shen Mutian seemed to have a sad face, and the Shen Mansion was also living in the water and fire, at that time, although she didn't understand some things, she also knew that Shen Mutian's expression was wrong, and it seemed that Shen Mutian suddenly got older during those periods.
Before, I didn't know what happened to Lu Dao, but now I heard what Steward Li said, and I even thought about Feng Qingchen's words, it turned out that all this was a mix he made in the back.
From Steward Li's words, although the Shen Mansion had all kinds of twists and turns in business during that time, he didn't know that Lu Dao was instructed by Feng Qingchen behind. The only thing he knew about it was that time in the study, when she asked him.
However, there were doubts about Feng Qingchen, but thinking that his identity was there, and then the business gradually improved, so he didn't dig too deep. Therefore, when he asked about this matter at this moment, Steward Li was a little suspicious.
However, after thinking about it, this is the master's business, and it has nothing to do with him, he just needs to tell him that Miss has asked him about these things after Shen Mutian comes. He didn't have to worry about anything else.
Although she asked about wanting to know about the Dao, Shen Yunxi was still a little suspicious in her heart that Feng Qingchen used this matter as the reason for him to deliberately snub her.
After all, even Shen Mutian wasn't sure that he did it, not to mention that her father was not such a tongue-in-cheek person, and the last time he failed to scrape together enough military salary, he only told her something about it when she was beaten and chased, how could he take the initiative to talk about it in front of her, so how could this be the reason why she wanted to turn against him?
It's not that she's suspicious, it's just that the reason really doesn't make sense.
However, she could not deny that he had his own concerns. Originally, people like him think differently than ordinary people.
They live in that deep palace, in that court, all day long in deceit, step by step, perhaps because they have calculated too much. It is not impossible to include this matter in it, and it will become a pain point for him.
"Okay, Steward Li, I know. Thank you. Shen Yunxi said with a light smile.
"Miss is polite. The old slave is just talking about the past, and there is nothing difficult about it. Steward Li said with a smile.
Shen Yunxi snorted lightly, and immediately thought of another thing, and she asked again: "Steward Li, is the second young lady in the mansion?" ”
Steward Li suddenly felt strange after hearing this, "Second Miss? Isn't she in the palace? ”
Shen Yunxi frowned slightly, in this way, Shen Yunyou didn't come back to the Shen Mansion?
However, she clearly left the palace yesterday, and she had nowhere to go except the Shen Mansion. However, she is not here now, so she must have thought that she would definitely settle accounts with her after discovering her evil deeds, so she did not dare to come back.
So, she's hiding now?
However, Steward Li and the others don't know where she is, and one of them must know the way.
Thinking of this, Shen Yunxi raised his head and asked Steward Li, "Then Erniang has been out of the house these days?" ”
If she doesn't come back, then her good mother will go out. Otherwise, according to her fearful nature, if no one is behind her, what can she do? What's more, before that, she saw that she was gang-raped, and she had to find her good mother to complain.
"I don't think so." Steward Li frowned and said, but the next second suddenly changed the conversation again and said, "No." Listening to the doorkeeper, the lady quietly left the house last night. He also specially told them not to tell the master, because it was my distant nephew who was guarding the door, so he told me about it early in the morning. ”
"Oh? Do you know where he went? Shen Yunxi raised her eyebrows and asked, as she expected.
Steward Li shook his head and said, "This old slave doesn't know what to do. …… However, if the lady wants to know the way, she can go to the palanquin man and ask. In the end, Steward Li didn't forget to give her a piece of advice.
This lady is secretly bullying the eldest lady, and he used to know a little bit about it. But these things are beyond the control of his servants. However, he likes this eldest lady, so he has to help her as much as possible afterwards.
Therefore, when Shen Yunxi asked about them, Steward Li knew everything.
"Good. I will. Xie Lu Xie Li housekeeper. ”
Shen Yunxi saw Steward Li's intentions in his eyes, and although he didn't say anything about some things, it didn't mean that he didn't understand it in his heart.
And Steward Li's proposal, before he said it, Shen Yunxi had taken it into consideration. However, before looking for them, she had to go to Madame Shen.
Since she would go out in the middle of the night, she thought it was also well thought out. If it weren't for someone she trusted, she wouldn't dare to use it indiscriminately.
Even so, Shen Yunxi was not afraid that those people would not let go. This person has a weakness, as long as he finds it properly, he is not afraid that the other party will not let go.
After Shen Yunxi and Steward Li separated, they went directly to the courtyard where Mrs. Shen was.
When she walked into the hall, Mrs. Shen was sitting proudly on the high seat, bowing her head and tasting tea, and seemed to be in a good mood.
However, when she heard footsteps and looked up and saw Shen Yunxi walking in in a water-blue Luo skirt, she suddenly darkened her face.
In his mind, there were pictures of Shen Yunyou's tears and hazy eyes.
"Slap-", Mrs. Shen put the teacup in her hand on the table, no, in fact, it was more appropriate to say that the fall came.
The teacup was covered by her gravity and spun around the table a few times before it stopped, and the unfinished tea in the cup flowed out from within, down the edge of the table, dripping onto the ground with a crisp sound.
The maids and grandmothers who were waiting on the side were startled when they looked at the dark face on Mrs. Shen's face and the teacup that almost fell to the ground.
But this Mrs. Shen's awesomeness, they have also tasted it. Therefore, although he had thoughts about her in his heart, his face was silent, and he only trembled for a moment, and then saluted Shen Yunxi in a proper manner.
This gift is the gift of the princess.
Although they are afraid of Mrs. Shen, Shen Yunxi's current identity is Princess Rui, and she is no longer the timid and cowardly Miss Shen. Therefore, this gift can no longer be dispensed with.
In the past, they could ignore her existence, but now they can't. A mistake may be disrespect to the royal family, and that kind of guilt is not something they can afford.
