Several people in the stands of the Zhou family hurriedly restrained their expressions and put on a kind and gentle appearance.

Shen Yu entered the door and said, "Thank you Miss Zhou for your help just now, if it weren't for the Zhou family's boat, I'm afraid the sailors wouldn't be able to go ashore now." ”

Mrs. Zhou looked at Shen Yu quietly, and she said slowly: "With a lot of effort, the young grandmother doesn't have to mind." When the old lady of the Sheng family was alive, there were many business contacts between our two families. Thanks to the care of the old lady, we have the present of our Zhou family. ”

Mrs. Zhou said polite words, but the disdain on Aunt Liu's face couldn't be hidden.

Shen Yu didn't see anything she did, and sighed: "Mrs. Zhou, I won't tell you a secret." Now although I am the nominal housewife, there is a mother-in-law watching above, and the uncle left early, and no one supports me. If there is any accident with the second master today, I will be to blame even if I die a thousand times. ”

Shen Yu also realized that she had a gaffe on the boat just now, and she was explaining to Miss Zhou.

Women often understand each other's difficulties better, and Mrs. Zhou also sympathizes with Shen Yu for being widowed at a young age, and taking care of so many things at home alone, and half an hour has passed while talking.

The maid beside Mrs. Zhou reminded her that it was time to go back, and Mrs. Zhou woke up like a dream, took Shen Yu's hand and walked out together.

In the eyes of outsiders, it is a scene of the Zhou family and the Sheng family living in harmony.

Back at the Sheng family, Shen Yu immediately went to Heshoutang.

Xie Changli came over and said: "The second master has already rested, and after seeing the doctor, he said that he choked on a few mouthfuls of water, and it was no big deal, just cultivate for a while." ”

The old lady's face was full of worry, and her brows furrowed, "What the hell is going on with this ship?" How can a good one leak? It's been so many years that our ship hasn't gone wrong. ”

Dragon boats are only used once a year, and most of them are light and thin boats built in pursuit of speed, which can only plant sailors and are not used for other purposes.

It stands to reason that the workmanship of such a ship is not complicated, and the sudden leakage is really strange.

Xie Changli glanced at Shen Yu quietly, lowered his head and said, "The ship is still being salvaged, and there will be results after the inspection." ”

Shen Yu knew from the old lady that Sheng Yanqing was actually not water-sensitive.

Sheng Yanqing grew up with the eldest lady, and was detained in the academy since she was a child, rarely going out to run around like other boys, and she didn't have the opportunity to learn to swim.

When he was older, he was busy with business all day, and the matter of swimming was put on hold.

Based on this alone, it can be inferred that this time the matter is not simple.

Shen Yu didn't leak a smile on her face, but said: "Grandmother, don't worry, I will definitely find out about this matter." The construction of the dragon boat this time was originally my business, but now that something has happened, it should be investigated to the end. ”

The old lady nodded slightly, "Go ahead, check carefully." ”

Out of Heshoutang, Xie Changli whispered: "Grandma, in fact, the ship has been salvaged, and the craftsman in charge of shipbuilding said that the cause of the leakage is that there are cracks in the floor." When you first enter the water, you won't notice that when the boat walks up, the water will slowly seep in, cracking the planks. ”

Shen Yu's eyes were cold, "You mean, someone does tricks?" ”

Xie Changli nodded, "Everyone knows that the second master is going to get on the boat, how can the craftsmen use inferior wooden planks in order to save money?" After the ship was ready, it was inspected and launched, and the sailors were in good condition when they practiced. But on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, I don't know how something happened. ”

The servants of the Sheng family do things, and Shen Yu can still be trusted. Those who can be responsible for making dragon boats will definitely be the craftsmen who are used to it.

At that time, seeing the dragon boat sinking little by little on the river, Shen Yu vaguely guessed something.

What Xie Changli said further confirmed her conjecture.

Shen Yu said coldly: "You did a good job, don't tell the old lady first, wait for the evidence to be conclusive, and then she will decide." ”

This shipwreck turmoil was quickly suppressed by the Sheng family's free distribution of zongzi. When it came to this, people just lamented that the Sheng family was unlucky, but there was an accident during the Dragon Boat Festival.

In the Sheng family, this incident caused a lot of waves.

Destroying the dragon boat and almost drowning the second master was a capital crime. The Sheng family is in danger, for fear of being involved in this matter.

Xu Xinyue took Sheng Jinxi to the second old lady's room for dinner, and the second old lady warned suspiciously: "You don't have to mix with the big house, we are now under the eaves, pointing to other people's dinner, but we don't dare to rush to find fault." ”

Xu Xinyue said: "Grandmother, don't worry, what you said to your granddaughter-in-law is in your heart." This shipwreck has nothing to do with me. ”

"That's good, Sheng Yanqing is the baby bump of the big house, you just can't move him." The second old lady said.

Sheng Jinxi sat next to Xu Xinyue, holding the chopsticks and holding the hand for a long time.

He is seven years old this year, which is the age when he can tease cats and dogs, but he is also a little apprehensive when two adults say this unscrupulously at the dinner table.

The taste of a meal is the same as chewing wax, and it is easy to look forward to going out, Sheng Jinxi hurriedly asked: "Mother, is it that the people in the big house are bullying the old lady?" ”

Xu Xinyue touched Sheng Jinxi's head, and she said softly: "I can't talk about who bullies whom, but you think, the old lady of the Sheng family has so much property left, and the big house will not have our share, can there be no contradictions?" ”

Sheng Jinxi nodded as if he understood or not, no wonder when the second lady was in the past, he had to speak ill of them every day.

Xu Xinyue took Sheng Jinxi's hand and walked back, she asked: "I asked you to play more with Xu'er, coaxed him in front of outsiders, and helped him, did you do it?" ”

Sheng Jinxi nodded like pounding garlic, he has to be an obedient and good boy now.

In the past, the second lady doted on him, and he could do whatever he wanted. But the second lady suddenly disappeared, leaving him alone in the mansion.

Later, he was sent to the second old lady, not only did he not have anything to eat every day, but he also had to study from morning to night.

is still the current mother, she doesn't beat people, she doesn't scold, she speaks softly, and she will cook food for him from time to time.

Sheng Jinxi is a smart child, he has already made up his mind to please Xu Xinyue with all his heart.

This year's Dragon Boat Festival passed like this, and in the evening, when Shen Yu looked through the account book by candlelight, she thought of the scene when the dragon boat sank, and her heart was still beating wildly.

Sheng Yanqing didn't know how to water, and when she suddenly fell into the water, she must have been flustered and scared. But he showed such composure that no one could see the trace.

In front of outsiders, he is the backbone of the Sheng family, and Shen Yu sees it in his eyes, but he is only distressed.

She was worried about Sheng Yanqing's condition, so she brought a pen and paper and wrote a small note to him.

Sheng Yanqing was reading a book on the soft couch, and Xie Changli mysteriously took out a small note.

He opened it, and it was her delicate font, and he glanced at it, and laughed out loud.
