Chapter 97: The Human Heart Is Strange
Shen Qianyue woke up from a coma, and it was already the second day.
Since Shen Qiu's family did not have a body, he did not follow the normal funeral process, but simply erected a clothed mound.
Shen Jingguo did not give up looking for the truth because he had no clues, and his intuition kept telling himself: This was not an accident.
In Shen Li's soft grinding and hard bubbles, the maid Caihe was released from the firewood room by Shen Jingguo. Shen Li's was not overflowing with compassion, she vaguely doubted that Cai He knew something, so Shen Jingguo imprisoned her.
As soon as he returned to his yard, he ordered Cai He to kneel in front of her and explain clearly, Cai He insisted that he didn't know anything, and temporarily deceived Shen Li's mother and daughter.
And Shen Qianyue, this grief of losing her mother has been tormenting her, in the past three months, she has never left the Shen Mansion for half a step, nor has she cared about any matters in the mansion.
Today is a rainy day, and Shen Qianyue is still lying on the couch.
Mifu gently pushed the door in, only to look at Shen Qianyue's back and let out a sigh.
"Miff, I want to go out for a walk. Shen Qianyue turned around and said.
This was the first time in these three months that Mi Fu had heard Shen Qianyue speak, and she couldn't help but be stunned.
"What's wrong?" Shen Qianyue's mood seemed to be much calmer.
"Of course, miss. Mi Fu was overjoyed and stepped forward to help Shen Qianyue get out of bed.
"From now on, let's wear women's clothes. Shen Qianyue looked at the man's clothes that Mi Fu brought over and said.
"Okay, Miss Duyi. ”
"Where did I put that empty bottle?" Shen Qianyue suddenly remembered what the fairy in her dream had said before, and she wanted to open it at the most desperate time.
"It's in the closet next to it, I'll go get it now. ”
"No, after a while. ”
"Got it. ”
After getting dressed neatly, the drizzle outside almost stopped, Shen Qianyue walked casually in the garden, and Mifu followed and waited carefully.
"Miff, have there been any major events in the house in the past few months?"
"It's not a big deal, it's just that the second aunt is back. ”
"Shen Xi's is back?" a mocking smile appeared on the corner of Shen Qianyue's mouth.
"Yes, it's been a while. ”
"When did you come back?"
"About three months ago, I ......... with my wife."
"Needless to say, I know, as soon as my mother went, my father recalled a concubine. Shen Qianyue smiled bitterly a few times.
"This time it's not just the master's meaning, I heard that the eldest lady seems to have said a lot of good things, miss, don't blame the master, the master is also for the second miss. ”
"The eldest lady speaks for her? Shen Qianyue leaned down and picked a bright red flower bone.
However, the second aunt only returned to the Shen Mansion as the second lady's mother this time, and the lord did not let go to restore her identity. ”
"Is she? She is the person she hated when she was alive, and in this case, as long as she does not do anything excessive, I can turn a blind eye, and if she is still like before, I will make her worse than dead." Shen Qianyue crushed the flower bones in her hand into a ball.
Miff thought that her ears had misheard, she never expected that the young lady, who had always been tolerant and kind, would say such words, she trembled in her heart when she heard it, and she was more distressed. I thought about it, probably because the death of the lady had brought indelible damage to the young lady's soul.
Shen Qianyue has indeed changed, and has even become a little cold-blooded.
Seeing that Shen Jingguo was not as sticky and enthusiastic as before, at most he was polite and respectful, a little more polite and distant.
Shen Jingguo was naturally aware of it, and on this day, he accompanied Shen Qianyue to lunch.
"Daddy, I heard that you've been in the second aunt's yard lately. Shen Qianyue lowered her head and ate the rice in the bowl.
"Yes, my father wanted to tell you about it, but I didn't expect you to mention it first. Shen Jingguo looked a little uncomfortable.
"This kind of trivial matter, dad doesn't need to report it to his daughter, you have already done it anyway. Shen Qianyue had something to say.
"Yue'er, the reason why Daddy restored her status as a concubine is also because of your second sister. Shen Jingguo put down the dishes and chopsticks.
"Daddy, didn't you forget, the person I hated the most before my mother's death was the Shen Xi clan, and not long after my mother went, you took her back to the house, you are really unkind. ”
Shen Qianyue's tone was light and light, but it pierced Shen Jingguo's heart like a knife.
"Yue'er!" Shen Jingguo was slightly angry, and stood up instantly.
Sure enough, everything has changed, my mother is gone, and my father is no longer the same father. Shen Qianyue smiled bitterly.
Shen Jingguo's eyes really didn't have the kindness they used to have, "Mifu, take good care of Miss!" After speaking, he brushed his sleeves away angrily.
Shen Qianyue only sat slumped at the table, her eyes sharp, and then asked with a hint of grief, "Is my father changed or am I changed?"
"Miss, don't think about it, nothing has changed. Miff reassured.
"No, you lied to me, everything has changed. ”
"The lord lost his wife, maybe his heart was too sad, so it will be a little different. ”
"Grief?" Shen Qianyue slowly stood up and walked in front of Mifu.
Then he continued, "Do you look at him as if he is very sad?"
"Miss........." Miff didn't know how to answer for a while.
Shen Qianyue looked out of the house, only slowly falling into deep thought.
For Shen Qianyue, such days are like years.
In the evening, Shen Qianyue was sitting in the garden in a daze with the white fox in her arms, and Mifu ran out of breath.
"Look at you, what's going on again?" Shen Qianyue stroked the white fox in her arms, her expression calm.
"I just heard some bad news out there. ”
"What's the news?"
"The people in the market said, "Miss, you .........," Mifu was hesitant.
"What do you say about me?"
Mi Fu looked helpless, "Say that Miss, you are a broom star, you killed your mother, you are an ominous person........."
"This time, instead of calling me a monster, I replaced it with a broom star, which is kind of interesting. Shen Qianyue smiled cynically.
"Miss, when is it, are you still in the mood to laugh. ”
"The mouth grows on someone else, and no one can stop it if you want to speak. ”
"But Miff always felt that something was wrong!"
"I'm afraid it's a gimmick deliberately created by those who have a heart, and I can't get by. ”
"Does Miss know who it is?"
"Who else can there be besides us in the Shen Mansion. ”
Shen Qianyue had already guessed in her heart, either Shen Li's or Shen Xi's.
Just because after Shen Qiu's death, Shen Qianyue took over two-thirds of the treasury of the Shen Mansion, and when Shen Qiu's family was alive, he relied on Shen Jingguo's favor and tightly controlled a large amount of property in the Shen Mansion.
After Shen Qiu's death, Shen Jingguo asked for one-third of them many times, and Shen Qianyue forcibly scolded her back, just because she knew her father too well, if she hadn't been instigated by others, it wouldn't have been like this at all.
"Miss, do you suspect that the eldest lady and the second lady deliberately spread rumors?"
"Who else but them can get along with me. Miff, in the future, you will send someone to keep an eye on the two yards, in the past few months, I have been thinking that maybe my mother's accident has nothing to do with the two of them. ”
"I'll send someone to keep an eye on it. ”
"By the way, I have time to find the maid next to Shen Li's side, I have something to ask her. ”
"Miss mean that the maid picks the grass?"
"That's her. ”
"Miff understood, and tomorrow I would like to bring her to meet Miss. ”
