Chapter 084: Clever Calculation
Three hours later—
When the last rays of the sunset disappeared into the sky, the night finally shrouded.
In the peach blossom restaurant, the lights are bright.
Green Peach was chattering to Shen Shu about the news she had just heard back.
"After the eldest lady was imprisoned in the ancestral hall, the entire ancestral hall was sealed by the old lady, and no one was allowed to enter, and the door was full of Songduzhai's gatekeepers."
"A few old men have been with the eldest young master in the front yard, and I am afraid that the eldest young master will not be able to think about it. Our wife was not idle all afternoon, and the old lady asked her and the third lady to take stock of the accounts of the big house, and the lady also handed out all the servants and stewards related to the eldest lady. ”
"The third lady fell ill and invited a doctor, saying that she was frightened, and the second young master was going to accompany the third lady to Biezhuang to relax."
"The fourth lady has not come out of Songduzhai all the time, and the dinner is also used at the old lady's place. Thanks to the fourth lady talking with her, the old lady was in a slightly better mood, and at this moment the fourth lady was coaxing the old lady to bed. ”
"The third young master sent someone to say, let you not think about anything tonight, sleep well, and he will talk to you tomorrow......"
Shen Shu pondered the news, frowned and asked, "Are you sure...... A-Niang disposed of all the people in the house? ”
"Sure! Are you sure! Lu Tao nodded again and again: "Before dusk, the servants of the big house were sent to Zhuangzi, not only the people of the eldest lady, but even the people around the eldest young master, all of them were cleared, and the master said that he would personally pick someone for the eldest young master." ”
When Shen Shu heard this, her heart was slightly relieved.
A-Niang's movements were really fast enough, and she thought that she was also taking into account the curses that the eldest aunt said before she was taken down.
I am afraid that the people left by my aunt will give birth to moths in the house.
However, judging from the information brought by Green Peach, except for A-Niang, the others didn't take the words of the eldest aunt to heart at all.
Especially the grandmother and the fourth aunt......
They didn't take those words to their senses, which meant ...... will lose vigilance.
Thinking of this, Shen Shu waved her hand at the green peach: "Got it, you go down first." I'm sleepy and want to sleep, without my instructions, don't let people disturb me, the people in the yard are also dispatched, it's too noisy. ”
Green Peach bowed to her and bowed back.
In the entire room, only Shen Shu was left.
She blew out the lights and candles, changed into night clothes in the dark, and sat quietly in the dark, listening to the movement in the courtyard.
For a whole afternoon, she was hesitating to tell her father about her grandmother and her fourth aunt's imminent death.
Whenever Shen Shu made up her mind, she took a step to find Shen Chong.
She will have in her mind the dream that she "saw" in Songduzhai before.
With the experience of Fuyun Temple——
Shen Shu had no doubt that if she really told her father about this.
Her dream of being sent back to her hometown in Yokogawa will definitely come true.
Shen Shu didn't dare, and she didn't want to repeat that "dream" in her bones.
Because of this, she didn't even tell her third brother Shen Jinming about it.
After all, my grandmother and four aunts both live in the inner house-
Even if the third brother knew, there was no other way than to tell Daddy and Auntie.
In the end, it is very likely that it will become a "dream" again, and she will be sent away.
After thinking about it, Shen Shu decided to do it herself.
After experiencing the lock of the forest last night, Shen Shu's ten smoke steps have become more and more proficient.
She believed that no matter what, the servants who guarded the courtyard in Songduzhai would not be able to catch her at all.
Just as Shen Shu was thinking-
The maids in the yard finally finished sweeping and left one after another.
Shen Shu listened attentively and confirmed that there was no one in the courtyard, so she opened the window behind the house that connected to the lake in the inner courtyard and jumped out gently.
Her feet just hit the ground—
Suddenly, a flower in front of me!
A black shadow from nowhere flashed in front of her in an instant.
Shen Shu was shocked, and was about to speak-
"Don't be afraid, girl, the villain is a shadow warrior." The shadow knelt down on one knee and said.
Shadow Wood!
Shen Shu's eyes lit up instantly.
"Didn't you go to be punished? How is it here? She hurriedly asked.
This morning, she had seen Ying Wu in a hurry in the Zhao Mansion.
Although she did not see him physically injured.
However, with Lord Feng's style of acting, I don't think I will save that meal.
"The lord said that there are many things in the girl's house these days, and there will be a place where the villain can be used, and when the girl's business is over, the little one will go to receive the punishment."
Although Ying Wu's voice was straight, there was a little more respect in his tone.
Shen Shu didn't notice this subtle change, and only admired Lord Feng's "clever calculation" a little more in his heart.
"Let's go! Go to Songdusai! Shen Shu said with confidence.
If it was before, she was only seventy percent sure in her heart.
With the help of the shadow army, you have a ninety-nine-percent certainty.
This time, she wants to see what kind of aftermath the aunt who can send a letter out of the house unknowingly!

Songdusai, bedroom.
Mrs. Shen was personally served by the fourth lady to take off the hairpin, change into bedclothes, go to bed, and leaned on the head of the bed tiredly.
It's just that in the past half a day, she seems to be several years old.
"I knew this was the case, when your father went back then, I should have divided this family, and I wouldn't have almost harmed the ...... of the Mansion because of the Zhao family alone."
In Mrs. Shen's tone, it was difficult to hide her self-blame.
Mrs. An Si tucked the quilt corner for the old lady: "Mother, since the eldest brother went, the people in this mansion have let her." Every year, in the cold and summer seasons, the most things are transferred from your room to the big room.
The second sister-in-law always has something fresh, and she also wants to give her a copy in the yard, cats and dogs, all looking for her to relieve her boredom.
Not to mention the third sister-in-law, although sometimes she is a little clever, but if she has a headache and brain fever, the third sister-in-law goes to her yard and runs faster than anyone else......"
Speaking of this, Mrs. An Si frowned: "People are not perfect, and there will inevitably be bumps and bumps between concubines, but I didn't expect that in the end, in her eyes, it became that the whole family looked down on her, and they were all sorry for her...... This kind of person is full of other people's bad in his eyes, and he is never grateful for the good of others, and it is really not worth it for you to hurt God for this kind of person. ”
"That's it......"
The old lady sighed and patted the fourth lady's hand: "Fortunately, nothing big happened now, but I wronged you yesterday ......"
"The daughter-in-law is not aggrieved." Mrs. An Si smiled and said, "You don't know, if the second sister-in-law hadn't told her daughter-in-law in advance, maybe the daughter-in-law would have been calculated by her!" After this incident, the daughter-in-law will get along with the second sister-in-law in the future and never cause her any more trouble. ”
When Mrs. Shen heard this, she finally showed a smile of relief.
At this moment, Mama Huai brought someone in with a tray.
In the porcelain bowl on the tray, the brown soup exudes a faint aroma.
The fourth lady stood up, picked up the porcelain bowl, scooped a spoonful, put it to her lips and blew it.
She smiled and walked to the old lady's bedside: "Mother, this is the soothing soup I specially asked the kitchen to boil for you, the ginseng here is brought back by my father from the south, and it is the most nourishing for qi." Taste it while it's hot, drink this soup and fall asleep, and then have the spirit to go to the Buddhist hall to chant early tomorrow morning......"
