Shen Xiu's expression was indifferent and looked directly at Xu Mei.

Although Xu Mei was angry in her heart, she said: "I know about your mother, you let them step down, and I will listen to you." ”

"This, the side concubine ......" Chief Wang immediately objected.

Shen Xiu waved his hand and said, "Wufang, everyone is tied up like this, and there is no way to cause trouble." ”

Although Manager Wang felt that it was inappropriate, he could not refute it, and said, "The old slave tied her to a chair." ”

"It's fine." Shen Xiu said.

Where would Xu Mei be willing, she suddenly struggled and scolded in her mouth: "It turns out that you also know shame, I'm afraid that I will say something ugly about your mother in public." I'll tell you......"

"If you keep talking, Uncle Cheng will die." Shen Xiu interrupted Xu Mei in a cold voice.

Xu Mei was stunned on the spot, very surprised that Shen Xiu actually guessed her intentions.

Mr. Wang and Yin'er tied Xu Mei to the chair in two by three. Needless to say than Shen Xiu, they also felt that they were leaving, and took all the people in the house away by the way.

The official slaves who entered the workshop are well known in terms of what happened to them. Shen Xiu can live like this, and he is already lucky. But what happened during this period is also difficult to describe.

Now that Xu Mei has news of Shen Xiu's mother, even if she is still alive, she is afraid that it will be difficult to live decently.

It's better for them to hear less about such things.

"Tell me, what's the news?" Shen Xiu said lightly, not in a hurry at all.

Xu Mei said: "Sure enough, he has no conscience, and he doesn't care about his mother's affairs at all." ”

"Mrs. Xu is more anxious than me." Shen Xiu said, "Lord Cheng's situation is not good. ”

Xu Mei was surprised and asked, "How do you know?" ”

"It's not hard to guess who can make Mrs. Xu so crazy." Shen Xiu said, "Say it, don't waste my time." ”

Xu Mei is indeed stupid and stupid, and her appearance is not good, and her gentleness and virtue have nothing to do with her.

It is normal for Cheng Shaomu to look down on her, but at this time, only Xu Mei will run for Cheng Shaomu.

"You have to make sure to release your cousin." Xu Mei said.

Shen Xiu said directly: "I can't do it." ”

Xu Mei suddenly became anxious and said, "Don't you really want to know where your mother is now?" ”

"How do I know if your news is true or not?" Shen Xiu said, "My brother has been looking for so many years, and there is no news at all. If you run here and talk nonsense, you will make me pay such a price, I am not so stupid. ”

"You look similar to your mother." Xu Mei said anxiously, "There is a tear mole under the left eye. ”

Shen Xiu said indifferently: "And then?" ”

"I even told you what your mother looked like, don't you believe it?" Xu Mei became more and more anxious.

Shen Xiu said: "Mrs. Cheng and my mother are sisters-in-law, whether it is you or Uncle Cheng, it is not strange to know my mother's appearance." I can't believe this as evidence. ”

Xu Mei is not a person who is good at panicking, and even Cheng Shaomu is not good at lying.

And this kind of lie is not difficult to prove. When the time comes, I am afraid that Cheng Shaomu will also be unlucky.

"I, I, I didn't know it before." Xu Mei said loudly, "This is what my cousin just told me. ”

Shen Xiu didn't want to argue, but said, "What else did Uncle Cheng say?" ”

"When my cousin entered the capital for you, he was assassinated on the way back." Xu Mei couldn't help gritting her teeth when she said this, and glared at Shen Xiu, "Later, I was lucky enough to escape the pursuit and met your mother when I returned to Qingyang." ”

Shen Xiu thought for a while and asked, "How can Uncle Cheng be sure that it is my mother?" ”

"Your mother and daughter look similar, and it's not difficult to identify." Xu Mei said.

Shen Xiu said: "Then Uncle Cheng and my mother recognize each other, or is it just that Uncle Cheng thinks it is my mother?" ”

"Recognized." Xu Mei said, "She admits her identity. ”

Shen Xiu asked again: "Uncle Cheng didn't tell my mother, am I in the Pingyuan Hou Mansion?" ”

"I don't know, cousin didn't say." Xu Mei said.

Shen Xiu asked again: "What else did Uncle Cheng say?" ”

Xu Mei said this, without actual evidence to support it, she still can't be convinced.

"Your mother also told her cousin that she had prepared thirteen sets of gifts for you as a dowry, but unfortunately she didn't need them." Xu Mei said.

Shen Xiu's face was not obvious, but he was shocked in his heart.

Thirteen sets of rites are the mother's dowry, foreign things, which are not common in the Central Plains.

Before the Shen family had an accident, her mother did say that she would give her thirteen sets of gifts as a dowry.

can say thirteen sets of rites, Cheng Shaomu should have really seen his mother.

"That's all I know." Xu Mei said, "Cousin has really seen your mother." ”

Shen Xiu was silent for a while before he said, "Then why didn't you tell me, even my brother?" ”

Cheng Shaomu's character, she knows more or less.

The Shen family is ruined, the news of relatives is too precious, why does Cheng Shaomu hide it?

Mother can recognize Cheng Shaomu, and she should be able to recognize them. If her mother is in a bad situation, Cheng Shaomu will not hide it from her and her brother.

Hide the truth until now, and at this time take out a life.

I always felt that there was something wrong with this.

"That's all I know." Xu Mei said, "The rest, I won't be able to tell you until my cousin is released." ”

Shen Xiu smiled lightly and said, "It's worthless." ”

"What?" Xu Mei suddenly became anxious, if she hadn't been tied to a chair, she would have jumped up a long time ago, "Your mother is an official slave, what will happen to the official slave, don't you know?" ”

Shen Xiu said: "If my mother was really in a bad situation, Uncle Cheng should have taken someone over earlier." Even if you don't care about it at the time, you should tell my brother afterwards. ”

With Cheng Shaomu's previous character, he would hide the news because he felt that it was good for both parties to conceal the news.

Mother......

The mother's maiden surname is Feng, although it is not as prominent as the Shen family, but it is also a big family in the capital.

The Shen family's incident was too big, and there were really no relatives and friends who dared to lend out at that time. But after the limelight has passed, there are relatives and friends who show their powers.

is like his brother Shen Yue, who was rescued by the prince afterwards.

It is also very likely that the mother was secretly rescued by her family, although the official slavery cannot be eliminated, but like she is now, it is still possible to change her face.

After being secretly rescued in this way, it is impossible to keep it at home. Most likely, change your life and marry someone else.

Since he has hidden his identity and married someone else, of course, it is inconvenient to meet and recognize the children in front of him.

"You!" Xu Mei was so angry that she scolded: "You are really ruthless, your cousin treats you like that, but you don't save you when you die." ”

Shen Xiu said: "I'm sorry, I really can't do anything. ”

As he spoke, Shen Xiu raised his voice and said, "Come in." ”

Chief Wang and Yin'er, who were standing in the courtyard, heard the sound and hurried into the house.

"Send Mrs. Xu out." Shen Xiu waved his hand and said.

Xu Mei's goal was not achieved, Cheng Shaomu had no way to live, and immediately scolded, "A black-hearted slut, you don't even care about your mother, you can't die well." ”

Shen Xiu listened indifferently and said, "Thank you for the news, I'm very happy." ”

It's good news that you can start over when your family is broken.

"You, you ......" Xu Mei jumped to her feet and wanted to scold again, but Manager Wang was very eye-catching, and immediately covered Xu Mei's mouth and forced her out.

The room suddenly fell silent, but Shen Xiu seemed to be unable to hold it anymore, although he was sitting, he was shaky.

When I suddenly heard the news from my mother, I couldn't calm down. The intense emotional fluctuations made her body a little unbearable now.

In front of Xu Mei, she had to hold on. If you agree to Xu Mei's request now, you may be asked for more in the future.

But is it true, as she had speculated, that her mother had remarried someone else and lived a happy life, and that there was no need to see them again?

And if she misses this time, will she be able to see her mother again in this life?

"Alas......" Shen Xiu sighed again, only feeling upset.

Seeing this, Yin'er hurriedly brought a big pillow, helped Shen Xiu lie down on the Luohan bed, and said, "Concubine Lie down for a while, Mrs. Xu is talking nonsense, don't take it to heart." ”

Although she and Manager Wang were outside, they didn't hear the conversation inside.

But from what Xu Mei shouted, it can't be inferred what she will say.

"I can't sleep, you help me up." Shen Xiu said, "Prepare pen and paper, I want to write a letter." ”

Mr. Wang said anxiously: "If the old slave knows a few words, it is better for the side concubine to dictate and the old slave to write it." ”

"No, I'm going to write it myself." Shen Xiu shook his head and said.

This letter was addressed to Shen Yue, and she had to write it herself.

Manager Wang and Yin'er glanced at each other, although they were anxious, they also knew Shen Xiu's temper, which could not be stopped.

In desperation, Yin'er had to help Shen Xiu up.

The study room was in the west room, and Mr. Wang prepared pen and ink, although Shen Xiu felt that it was a little difficult to hold the pen, he still insisted on finishing the letter.

I should tell my brother the news of my mother as soon as possible.

Since Xu Mei said that after the assassination, she met on the way back to Qingyang, although it is still very wide, but she finally has an eyebrow.

If Cheng Shaomu really didn't want to say it, then in the end, he could only count on Shen Yue to find it.

"Send the letter to the HSBC shipping company, tell the shipping company to manage it, and hand it over to my brother as quickly as possible." Shen Xiu said, "You must hand it over by hand." ”

Manager Wang took the letter and said, "Please rest assured, concubine." ”

"Go ahead." Shen Xiu said.

Manager Wang hurriedly went, and Yin'er helped Shen Xiu and said, "Concubine Fang, you can lie down." ”

"Hmm." Shen Xiu responded softly, indeed very tired.

It's not the body that's tired, it's the heart that's tired.

Yin'er helped Shen Xiu lie down on the bed and said, "The slave will send someone to invite Doctor Xiao to come." ”

"No, you don't." Shen Xiu smiled and said, "I know my body, just let me sleep for a while." ”

Her problem was not that she was physically hurt, but that she couldn't calm down emotionally.

At times like these, what she needs is calm. Calling Xiao Xueyi over is also a trace.

"Yes." The sound responded, and he didn't dare to say it again.

The curtain was lowered, and Yin'er didn't dare to go too far, but only guarded outside.

Shen Xiu closed his eyes, although he didn't feel the slightest sleep, he tried to calm his emotions, at least not to affect the one in his stomach.

Xu Mei will come, it must have been instructed by Cheng Shaomu.

In exchange for his character, Cheng Shaomu will definitely not say it easily.

Something had to be done.
