That night, Shen Zhonglei closed the door and severely criticized Shen Yunyao, and even took Xu Shi to eat a meal.

In the end, Shen Yunyao was punished with a month of grounding and copying the female commandment twenty times.

Shen Yunyao was almost angry.

One month? By the time she came out of the ground, she was almost past her childhood.

She had to miss almost all the banquets and events in the city from year ago.

"Why! Why did Shen Tianshu make a mistake, her father only punished her for copying the female commandment ten times, and he didn't even say how long it would take, and he could let her out at any time. Now that he is here, he has been grounded for a month all at once, why didn't he say that I would be grounded at home for many years! ”

Shen Yunyao frantically threw the pillows and cushions on the soft couch to the ground, and cried at Xu to vent.

"Years ago, the girls from several families had to set up wine and banquets, and I even received several invitations, and the clothes and jewelry were ready, what should I do now? Do you want me to push them all away? Am I shameless? When the time comes, what will others think of me, what will they say about me?

"I'm also his daughter, why am I always inferior to Shen Yunyao in his eyes?"

Shen Yunyao's last words struck the sore spot in Xu's heart.

She hugged her daughter into her arms, and said with tears streaming down her face: "It's all because my mother has no ability, I can't catch your father's heart, and let you follow your mother everywhere to be wronged." ”

Shen Yunyao gritted her teeth and said: "It's all that Shen Tianshu, who pretended to be silly and stupid at the beginning, and took advantage of losses every day." We have been pretending to be played by her for so many years, and now she seems to have found something to rely on, and she dragged it up all of a sudden, except for her father in this family, who else does she put in her eyes now? ”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.

Listening to Shen Yunyao's words, Xu suddenly remembered what Mama Guo had said before, how Shen Tianshu got into the relationship with Imperial Doctor Liu when he was away from home, and he is still a mystery.

She pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the tears on Shen Yunyao's face, and coaxed her: "Good boy, you pretend to be a good student first, stay at home honestly and copy books, and when your father's anger is gone, my mother will go to intercede with you again to ensure that you can go to the banquet, okay?" ”

Shen Yunyao was also tired at this time, and she had no other way but to respond aggrievedly.

Xu Shi walked out of Shen Yunyao's courtyard, but he was not in a hurry to go back to the main house, and asked Han Qiao behind him while walking towards the garden.

"I remember that Mama Guo's daughter is still on an errand in the house?"

"Madame remembers correctly, Yu Juan was a little housekeeper in the back kitchen, and last time the master only sent Mama Guo away, and did not involve her family."

"You go to the back kitchen, say I'm hungry, and ask someone to make a supper."

Han Qiao went down knowingly, and not long after, a woman in her thirties with a somewhat fat figure entered the garden with a nervous face, it was Yu Juan, the daughter of Mama Guo.

On winter nights, the back garden is so deserted that there are not even a mouse.

Yu Juan quickly found Xu Shi who was standing next to the rockery, stepped forward and knelt on the ground, and whispered: "The slave maid has seen Mrs., and the slave maid thinks about Mrs. every day at home, and misses Mrs., her eyes are almost blind from crying." ”

"I have been a master and servant for so many years, and as soon as your mother goes to Zhuangzi, my side is also like something missing, empty."

Xu's words are not false, but she misses Mama Guo, but not all because of the friendship between master and servant for many years, and more importantly, Mama Guo can help her with some ideas.

Now she has something to do, but she can only discuss it with Hanqiao.

Although Hanqiao is still smart and clever, he is young in the end, and he is not as experienced as older people.

But now that Xu Shi has figured it out, although Mama Guo is no longer by her side, it means that she can move more freely, and if she has anything to do, she can also let her help to investigate and investigate.

"You go back and tell your mother, let her wait for me in the private room of the teahouse I go to most often the morning after tomorrow, and she will naturally know."

As soon as Yu Juan heard this, a pair of squinted eyes almost emitted light in the middle of the night, madam, is this going to use her own house again?

"Madame, don't worry, the slave and maid will definitely do it properly, except for my mother, I will never let a third person know."

Xu Shi took the maid away satisfied, leaving Yu Juan alone in the cold back garden with excitement and red face.

You must know that since Mama Guo was punished to Zhuangzi, her status in the back kitchen has not been as good as before, and she is about to be stepped on by others.

Although I don't know why Mrs. suddenly remembered that her mother was here again, Yu Juan understood that as long as the old lady did not fall out of favor in front of Mrs., sooner or later she would be able to return the anger she had recently suffered to those snobbers.

The Xu family was thinking about asking Mama Guo to inquire about the recent movements of Shen Tianshu's family, whether there was something that he didn't know about.

Xu Yihao, who refused to go out to see people for a long time, didn't bring a single subordinate, smeared and avoided the family members who were patrolling the night, and knocked on Shen Yunyao's courtyard door.

"Cousin?" Shen Yunyao had already laid down, but when she heard the maid coming, she washed her face again and came out wearing a half-worn jacket, "It's so cold outside, what's the matter with my cousin, just send a mother-in-law to say no, why did you come over by yourself." ”

Xu Yihao looked around and wanted Shen Yunyao to wave the maid away, but although they were cousins, after all, there was a difference between men and women, and in the end, she still left a personal maid.

Since the last time Xu took Xu Yihao out and came back, he said that Xu Yihao was sick, and Shen Yunyao had not seen Xu Yihao again.

Now seeing that others have lost a lot of weight than before, their facial contours are sharper, their expressions are a little haggard, and their eyes, which were always squinting, have now begun to shine with a ruthless light, Shen Yunyao felt a little unstoppably scared in her heart.

Shen Yunyao quietly grabbed the armrest of the chair and asked, "Cousin, what's going on, you are so weird and scary." ”

Xu Yihao was also looking at Shen Yunyao, seeing that her eyes were red and swollen, and her voice was a little hoarse, he sneered and asked, "It seems that it's useless to cry and make trouble, right?" ”

Shen Yunyao's face instantly sank and said, "My cousin came over in the middle of the night, could it be that he came to see my jokes?" Then cousin, please go back! ”

"You can't hold your breath like this, and you have no brains, no wonder you can't fight Shen Tianshu!" Xu Yihao continued to poke Shen Yunyao's lung tube.

"You ......" Shen Yunyao was so angry that she got up directly to see off the guest, "It's getting late, and my cousin has already been out of order when he comes to my room, if you don't force me to make trouble, my father will definitely be on my side." ”

"You don't have to scare me with your uncle." After Xu Yihao stimulated Shen Yunyao's face to change, he finally said his intention, "I just want to tell you that against Shen Tianshu, the petty fights of your daughters in the boudoir can't hurt her at all." If you really want to get angry, how about your cousin help you? ”
