Chapter 5: Why I Came Back Now
Chapter 5: Why is it only now?
Saying that, Shen Junru cried bitterly again, her face was full of tears, and she looked so delicate, which was really distressing.
"Mother went, I, who was a daughter, didn't even have a chance to support the coffin, father, aunt, you are so ruthless, you want me to bear the infamy of unfilial piety for a lifetime!"
A "so ruthless heart" knocked Master Shen's heart, and saw Shen Junru crying so much that he almost fainted, and his heart was a mess, this was his daughter.
Madame loved her very much before her death, how could she deliberately not come back to see her mother on her last journey?
I look a lot thinner than before I went to Jiangnan, and my complexion is not good.
That grief does not deceive people.
"Miss, how can you blame the master, if you can come back earlier, you won't even see the lady for the last time..."
Do you want to blame her for not coming back in time?
Shen Junru was heartbroken, slowly stood up from in front of Master Shen, raised her hand and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Really? So, Aunt Yun, can you tell me when my aunt became seriously ill? When did he die? When was the epistle sent? Since I received the letter, I have not dared to delay for a moment. After seven days and seven nights, day and night, Mo said that people couldn't stand it, and even a few horses were tired to death, how could my aunt blame Jun Ru for returning too late? ”
She said in a cold voice, word by word.
Aunt Yun couldn't say half a word because of her posture.
It's just that I haven't seen her for a while, how can this eldest lady be like a changed personality, so difficult to handle!
"It's... This one... Not long after the eldest lady left, Madame fell ill, but she didn't let us send a message to you, and only said that it would be fine in a few days. Who knew that this illness was out of control, in fact, even the eldest lady couldn't wait, before the lady left, she really remembered the eldest lady. ”
Her mother remembered her, how could she not know?
What happened after she left?
She didn't know any of this, even if she suspected that there was something greasy in it, she couldn't even show the slightest evidence.
Now there is only one thing that can be caught, "bury her without waiting for her to come back", whose idea is this!
Is she really afraid that the corpse will rot, or is she afraid that she will find something when she returns?
Shen Junru's thoughts turned in vain, knowing that she couldn't easily punish Aunt Yun today.
But no matter what, she can't let her father and younger brother continue to blame her for deliberately delaying the trip.
Dongmei, who followed behind her, was also clever, and even if she knelt down in front of Master Shen, what Shen Junru couldn't say clearly, she would say it.
"Sir, sir... Our young lady really didn't dare to delay for a moment, she was worried about her physical condition on the road, she really didn't dare to rest, in just a few days, the whole person lost a lot of weight, and now she received such bad news as soon as she came back, and the old man should not blame Miss anymore. ”
"Bold, how can you have your share of talking here!"
Aunt Yun scolded, her eyebrows widened, she tried her best, but she couldn't let these two little girls fool her in a few words.
"Daddy, if the letter had come earlier, it wouldn't have been like this."
"The letter was sent out a month ago, when your mother was seriously ill and looking forward to your return, she sent two or three more letters in a row, urging you to come back, but you have not returned, even if you go slowly from the first letter, it should have arrived half a month ago."
Master Shen tilted his head and said sadly.
Shen Junru felt a heartache, holding her chest and almost unable to stand firmly.
When A-Niang was seriously ill, she was looking forward to her return.
The letter was sent a month ago! Why did she receive it only a few days ago?
In her previous life, she only blamed her father for not waiting for her to return, and did not ask about the letter, so naturally she did not know, and the letter was sent a month ago.
"One... A month ago? But I only received one, and it was seven days ago. ”
Shen Junru expressed his doubts, who did it in it?
Aunt Yun or someone else?
Now the most favored person in the house is Aunt Yun.
It's just that no matter how powerful she is, how can she intercept the letters?
If someone finds out, she won't be able to eat and walk around!
"What?"
"Perhaps, the capital is too far away from Jiangnan, and it is impossible to say if there are some problems with the letter on the road."
Is that really the case?
Even if Master Shen believes this, she Shen Junru doesn't believe it either!
"Something went wrong? Don't you have the slightest suspicion that something is wrong with such a big thing? If one went wrong, what about the next few? Is there really something wrong, or is someone just doing it? ”
"Old, sir... The eldest lady's words are a little aggressive, concubine, how can the concubine know..."
Aunt Yun was speechless, so she had to shrink and shrink to Master Shen's side, looking frightened by Shen Junru.
"The concubine knows that the eldest lady is not angry, but the lady has gone, this is a fact, and it can't be reversed, instead of being angry with us here, it is better to kowtow in front of the lady's spiritual seat."
"You don't have to say it, I know it."
Shen Junru snorted coldly, looking at his father, he was still protecting Aunt Yun at this time.
Can such a father really be relied upon?
He chuckled lightly, and his face was blank.
"Whoever sent the letter and called him, I will ask him personally."
Aunt Yun is not afraid, since she has done that, she will not leave a handle for someone to catch, and the guard who delivered the letter has already been sent out of the house.
Soon, the little guy went back and forth.
Sure enough, as Shen Junru expected.
It seems that this man really has some means.
"Okay, the matter has come to this, there is no intention to say more, Junru, my father understands your feelings, you rushed all the way back, you are tired of coming, go and give your mother incense and go back to rest."
Old Man Shen couldn't hide his tiredness on his face, he neither wanted nor wanted to mix up these things in the backyard.
Shen Junru lowered her eyebrows slightly, blessed her body slightly with Master Shen, and turned to leave.
Every step is like stepping on the tip of a knife, and it hurts to the bone!
Once I was reborn, I went through the road I had traveled in the past again, and I saw some things that I hadn't seen clearly before.
Why was she so stupid in her previous life!
Stupid, I can't even see the difference in the cause of A-Niang's death!
stupidly killed himself, killed the Shen family, and killed his younger brother!
A-Niang's spiritual seat was placed in the courtyard where she lived before her death, and the white silk was hung high, but the building was empty.
Those furnishings are still the same as before she left, but no one will affectionately call her "Sister Ru" anymore, and no one will let her be coquettish when she has a little stomach ache, and rub her little belly for her...
"Niang... Niang... My daughter is not filial, and she came back late..."
Kneeling in front of the spiritual seat, he kowtowed heavily, and all the slaves who followed him knelt down and kowtowed.
She came back late, if she could have come back earlier, more than a month earlier, A-Niang might not have died!
"Eldest sister, why are you only coming back now!"
