Xu's funeral was not grand, but it was not rude. Shu Zheming is okay, although Xu is his mother, he has been in the outer courtyard since he was six years old, grew up with Shu Chengye, and knew that Xu did something sorry for Shu Chengye, although he was sad in his heart, he also survived.

Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu are different, they grew up beside Xu's since they were children, and they were looked at by Xu's eyes like eyeballs, and the two sisters fell seriously ill after Xu's burial.

The old lady probably learned a lesson from Xu's affairs - when the judgment is constantly suffering, blindly soft-hearted compromise is not the most haode solution. So, taking this opportunity, he happily started and replaced all the maids around Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu, who were above the second class.

Xu's nurse's family was even more excused by Shu Chengye, and all the children were sold to the Xishan mine.

After doing this, the old lady couldn't hold it anymore, and she had a high fever that day, and Shu Chengye and Shu Manyao were busy. The former took Shu Zheming to stay by the old lady's bedside for twelve hours a day, and the latter had to deal with family affairs while getting the old lady to go around twice from time to time, and then go to Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu to exert their power.

Of course, the degree of this power must also be grasped, Xu has just been buried, and Shu Manyao can't make a reputation for treating his sister harshly. Everyone in the world sympathizes with the weak, Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu have just lost their mothers, and everyone must be considerate when they say it.

"Grandmother, you'll have to get well quickly." Shu Manyao waited for the old lady's medicine, leaned on the side of the bed and gave the old lady a haircut: "You are not good, Daddy and younger brother are often worried, you don't see, Daddy has lost a lot of weight." ”

The old lady's face was pale, and she squeezed Shu Manyao's hand a little tiredly: "I see that you have lost some weight during this time, but you haven't slept well?" ”

"Why, I slept well." Shu Manyao hurriedly smiled: "I'm just like my father, I'm worried about my grandmother, grandmother, you have to get better quickly, although your mother has passed away, you still have to take care of me, my sisters, and my younger brothers." Besides, at Daddy's age, in the prime of life, is it possible for Grandmother to plan to let Daddy be a widower for the rest of his life? ”

The old lady was stunned and turned her head to look at Shu Manyao: "Who taught you this?" ”

"Nobody taught me." Shu Manyao pouted, anyway, she and Shu Zheming are incompatible, but they will definitely not be able to be intimate sisters and brothers. Shu Chengye is less than forty this year, and he was originally in the prime of life, the old lady didn't think about it at this time, and she would definitely find a continuation for Shu Chengye in the future, so it was better for her to be sensible and bring it up earlier.

Well, of course, she hopes that her father can be resolute, not to mention delaying it for three or five years, but two or three years.

The old lady frowned and thought about it, and waved her hand: "Don't mention this matter first, in the end, the Xu family is Zheming's mother-in-law, and now we have to wait for Zheming to figure it out." By the way, what about Man Jin and Man Yu? Aren't you feeling well? ”

"Man Jin and Man Yu had a cold during that time, although this menarche has passed, their small stomachs are always cramping, and Dr. Li prescribed medicine to them and let them recuperate for a few days." Shu Manyao hurriedly said, Xu's is gone, Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu's nurses have been sent away, and their parenting mothers have not started to work yet, no one has explained these things to the two sisters, plus Shu Manyao is indulgent, during this time, the sisters have not used cold things.

"Yesterday, my second sister complained to me, saying that it was too hot in the house, and my mother, who was in charge of the ice, was reluctant to put ice cubes in her house, and said that I was mean to her. I didn't listen to what I said, so I had to beg Dr. Li and ask Dr. Li to tell them that they couldn't use too much ice, but they suspected that I had bought Dr. Li, grandmother, you better get better quickly, otherwise, what I did would be wrong. ”

Shu Manyao said with a smile, and the old lady looked a little displeased: "The two of them are too noisy, you are the eldest sister, next time you will show your eldest sister's momentum, and if you are disobedient, you just beat the maid and wife beside them." ”

"Grandmother, don't be angry," Shu Manyao smoothed the old lady's hair, and raised his hand to knead the old lady's shoulders, lying down for a long time, this body became a little stiff: "Mother just passed away, they are also uncomfortable, I think they are venting, and after this time, their nurturing mother will come back, and she will teach them how to behave." ”

The old lady nodded, looking a little tired, Shu Manyao will cover her with the quilt: "Look, I know that my grandmother is not cured of her serious illness, and I still pull my grandmother to say so many things, grandmother, rest quickly, I'll go and see the little brother in a while." ”

The old lady asked with a little hesitation, "How is Aunt Wang doing during this time?" ”

"She's still the same as before, she doesn't go out much, if I didn't go to visit my little brother, she wouldn't even go out of the house, I heard that my grandmother was sick, and I deliberately copied a lot of Buddhist scriptures, grandmother doesn't have to worry about Aunt Wang, what she eats and wears is for the sake of the little brother's face, and the people below don't dare to do anything."

Shu Manyao comforted the old lady and watched the old lady fall asleep again, then got up and went back to her yard. After dealing with some family affairs, I took Xia Xi and Winter Twilight to Aunt Wang, Aunt Wang was indeed copying Buddhist scriptures, and when she saw Shu Manyao, she hurriedly got up: "Why is the eldest girl here now?" Lunch available? ”

"I have used it," Shu Manyao said with a smile, and while sitting down, he looked around the room: "Auntie hasn't had lunch yet?" It's a little hot in my aunt's house, but the ice basin isn't enough? Or did someone deduct my aunt's share? ”

"No, don't get me wrong, big girl." Aunt Wang said with a smile, while personally carrying the teapot to pour tea for Shu Manyao, she said: "The ice basin is enough, but the little brother is still young, and he often comes here to play, I don't dare to put too much ice basin, the little brother is taking a nap in it now, do you want to go and see it?" ”

Shu Manyao nodded, got up and went inside to see the little brother, and came back to continue to talk to Aunt Wang: "Auntie, what are your plans in the future?" ”

Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment, looked at Shu Manyao, and saw that Shu Manyao had some concern in her eyes, so she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, to be honest, since the death of the Xu family, she was a little afraid of this big girl in her heart. Things can't help but ponder repeatedly, Xu's matter, it is said that with the means of the old lady and the master, it can be pressed, but on the contrary, the patriarch and the patriarch's wife listened to Cao's mother's words and came over.

The old lady was about to be fooled, and it just so happened that a maid went to the old lady's yard and gossiped about it. The most important thing is that what happened later was so serious, the family was busy and chaotic, and no one ever mentioned the maid again.

All things look logical, but there is a trick everywhere, if no one intervenes in the middle, Aunt Wang will never believe it. Only Shu Manjin and Shu Manyu were young, and they really thought that Xu did this thing himself. Don't you see that even the old lady is unwilling to let people be held accountable anymore? If she really finds out something, she will even have to pay for her granddaughter.

In other words, if this happened two or three years earlier, the old lady and the old man would never have checked it, and they would have directly let the people in the clan kill the Xu family.

Before Aunt Wang entered the door, she had inquired about the Shu family. Xu's prestige is very heavy, except for the old lady in the Shu family, she is the same in the entire backyard. The eldest girl is cowardly and sickly, and almost never appears in front of people.

However, after only two or three years of hard work, the backyard of the Shu family has changed its scene. The men are careless and can't see it, but she, who rolls in the backyard, won't not be able to see the slightest.

Just look at who Xu didn't deal with during his lifetime, and who benefited the most after Xu's death, wouldn't the people who intervene in the middle of it come out?

It took three years for the eldest girl to first consume the little affection and status of the Xu family in the hearts of the old lady and Shu Chengye, and then made a blow, and the Xu family fell like this.

Therefore, since then, Aunt Wang has been more careful and will never offend the eldest girl. Even if the eldest girl came over, she was also respectful and polite, but at this time, seeing the eldest girl's unpretentious care, Aunt Wang's fears suddenly shook a little - she also knew Xu's methods, such a vicious woman, I am afraid that in the early years, the methods of the eldest girl were also fatal.

In this backyard, isn't the east wind overpowering the west wind?

"Since I decided to become a concubine in the Shu family, I know my future path." Aunt Wang shook her head and pushed the teacup in front of Shu Manyao's eyes: "Even if the Xu family is dead now, the master is in the prime of life, and he must continue the string." ”

Shu Manyao nodded, with a smile on her face: "I was worried that my aunt wouldn't understand this. ”

"The big girl is underestimating me." Aunt Wang said with a smile: "I can see my identity clearly, besides, the Shu family treats people leniently, if I don't want to stay in the Shu family one day, I can also ask the master to write a concubine document, but I will definitely be reluctant to let the little brother go." ”

There is a big difference between the concubines of this good family and the concubines promoted by the slaves. A good family is a concubine, and she has to serve in front of the main house, and her life is also guaranteed, and when you don't want to live, you can be free. Of course, the premise is that the man is willing to give you freedom.

This slave is different, killing and selling, it's all a matter of the main house.

"I don't have any other plans now, I just want my little brother to grow up peacefully, and then have a good future, I don't want him to share the Shu family's property, a good man should be his own meritorious career, my son, you can't just be a fool who eats and waits for death." Aunt Wang smiled at the corner of her mouth and glanced at the room where the little brother slept.

Shu Manyao nodded: "Auntie, since you all know, then I won't say anything else, Auntie, do you remember the thing I told my aunt before?" My aunt has helped me a lot, and it's time for me to make good on my promise to her. ”

Aunt Wang's eyes suddenly lit up: "What does the eldest girl mean, the time is ripe now?" ”

"Auntie, where is this so easy?" Shu Manyao was a little helpless, shook her head and said: "I just told my aunt that now that my grandmother is sick, you have to take my little brother over to see, after a year or two, my grandmother's feelings for my little brother will be deep, and if my father continues to do so, my grandmother will definitely be reluctant to let my little brother suffer." ”
