Chapter 412: Separation of Powers
After drinking a cup of soothing tea, Shen Xingwan took people back to the courtyard before dawn.
She was so sleepy that she lay down on the warm quilt again, and instructed Bai Ling, "If something big happens, remember to wake me up." ”
Shen Xing slept until noon, got up refreshed, and put lunch on the table as soon as he freshened up.
"How's it going, is there any movement in the upper room?"
Bai Ling said in a low voice, "There was a commotion halfway, but the old lady's courtyard has always been strictly controlled, and I can't find out the specific news." ”
"Did the second lady come out?" Shen Xingwan asked, it's been all night, and the situation doesn't seem to be good.
Bai Ling shook his head, "I didn't come out, the eldest lady and the second master didn't come out." ”
"Where's my titular father?" Shen Xingwan asked.
In principle, he is the head of the Zhou Mansion, but he is magically out of it.
"The master went out early in the morning and went to work. The old lady said that he didn't need a man to interfere in the affairs of the back house. Bai Ling's expression was a little difficult to say when he talked about this.
Shen Xingwan was speechless, "It's really an obedient mother." ”
She estimated that the top of his head was already glowing green, and the eldest lady looked at the eyes of the second master, which was called a tender and watery speech.
"Keep watching, I don't need you to wait here, go down." Shen Xing said late.
After lunch, she went to see Zhou Man again, the fever had subsided, and the person still hadn't woken up.
In the main room, everyone was exhausted, and the old lady was completely struggling to the back.
Looking at the stubborn second lady below, she said tiredly, "Are you so stubborn?" ”
The second lady sneered, "Is my request excessive?" ”
"I said that no one should try to bully our mother and daughter, otherwise we will all die together."
The eldest lady hated her to death in her heart, she was too weak and easy to bully before, she kept her life in order not to make a big fuss, but she didn't expect to be bitten back today.
The matter cannot continue to drag on, it must be resolved before he returns, if he is suspicious, I am afraid that the brothers will turn against each other, this is the last thing the old lady wants to see.
The old lady quickly made a decision, "I can rely on you as you say, but you must promise that you will settle down from now on." ”
The second lady lowered her eyes to cover her eyes with sarcasm, and said softly, "I just want to fight for my rights and interests, and live like a person, and I won't mess around for the sake of the vines." ”
Hearing her mention Zhou Man, the old lady's expression softened a little, yes, for Zhou Man, she didn't dare to mess around.
"Okay, I'll follow what you said." The old lady was also tired.
The eldest lady said unwillingly, "It can't be like this..."
The old lady looked at her hatefully, "It seems that I have been too indulgent to you all these years, why do you think you can survive until now?" ”
The eldest lady trembled at the old lady's warning eyes, and did not dare to say more, no one knew the old lady's methods better than her.
The matter finally ended temporarily, and after walking out of the main room, the second lady's legs were weak and she almost fell to the ground.
Yahuan, who was waiting on the side, hurriedly came over to support her, "Second lady, are you okay?" ”
The second lady said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go back to Cangxia Courtyard." ”
It was the courtyard of the second room, and after the second lady was locked up to recuperate, it was almost deserted.
With the second lady's high-profile return to Cangxia Courtyard, the entire Zhou Mansion was shaken, and the people were even more discussed, discussing whether the limelight in the mansion was about to change.
Bai Ling filtered out useful news and reported it to Shen Xingwan.
"The second lady has returned to Cangxia Courtyard, and she doesn't have to recuperate from now on, and the things she was in charge of are still in her hands."
"Zhou's Mansion has changed?" Shen Xing said late, he didn't expect the second lady's combat effectiveness to be okay.
"The eldest lady was grounded for a month." Bai Ling continued.
Shen Xingwan's eyes lit up, and she realized that her opportunity had come.
Sure enough, the muddy waters are easy to fish, and the grounded lady can't care where she goes out anymore.
As for the old lady, she has always been extremely cold to her, and she didn't even bother to give her a look, let alone care about her.
Shen Xingwan immediately said, "It seems that I have to pay a good visit to the second lady." ”
Before she could act, her mysterious "father" Zhou family suddenly came to see her.
Shen Xingwan personally greeted him at the door and saluted obediently.
The eldest man looked at her faintly for a while, and her goosebumps rose when she was watched.
"Is there anything Daddy is here?" Shen Xingwan took the initiative to speak.
"Your mother is grounded, you know?" The eldest lord looked at her sharply, "You and the regent must not go wrong in their marriage." ”
Shen Xingwan pretended to bow his head shyly, "No, he said he would marry me." ”
She's gambling, and the eldest master doesn't know her true identity at all.
Sure enough, hearing her words, the eldest lord's expression softened a little, "You can get married with peace of mind, and don't worry about anything else." ”
Shen Xingwan said aggrievedly, "I always feel that my mother doesn't like me and treats me harshly." ”
The sarcasm in the eldest man's eyes could hardly be concealed, "You don't have to worry about her, just be your seventh miss of the Zhou family, and wait for the marriage." ”
warned her, and before leaving, the eldest lord said that if she had anything, she could go directly to him.
As soon as the eldest master left, Shen Xingwan instantly breathed a sigh of relief, this cheap father gave her only four words, "old treacherous and cunning." ”
He seriously suspected that such an old fox would not know anything about the eldest lady and the affairs in the mansion?
This cheap dad is quite oppressive, and it would be a miracle if I knew that he could endure it until now.
Qi Han is really good at finding a place, and he will stuff her into such a wonderful person at that time.
"How is the relationship between the eldest lady and the eldest master?" Shen Xingwan asked.
Bai Ling was entangled for a moment, "The position of the eldest lady is quite stable, she is in charge of the inner house, and the eldest lady also respects her." It has always been the other concubines who have been favored. ”
"Everyone has privately rumored that the eldest lady injured her body when she gave birth to Miss Seven, so she hardly waits for the eldest lady much. She also doesn't stop other aunts from competing for favor. ”
Shen Xingwan instantly understood, to put it bluntly, they were a superficial husband and wife. Maintain the dignity that it should have.,I guess I don't have feelings in private.。
Bai Ling thought about it for a while and told her the news that she had just inquired about, "The second master came back this time, not alone, he brought a beautiful little lady, but he didn't bring it into the house." ”
She will know that it is because she and the eldest girl ring next to the second master have been friends since childhood, and the other party revealed it to her.
"Hehe, men really have eight hundred hearts." Shen Xingwan sneered.
If the eldest lady knew the news, she didn't know what to think in her heart.
"The slave and maid estimated that they would enter the house sooner or later, and it is said that they gave birth to a son who was just one year old for the second master." Bai Lingdao.
If it weren't for the threat of Qi Han, Shen Xingwan would have felt that it was quite cool to eat melons at close range in the Zhou family.
This one after another, it's as wonderful as reading a script.
