Chapter 162: The Girl
Mrs. Xu took a step back, but the pace was not big, so the girl was still crying and kneeling at her feet choked and begging, at this time Xu Teng next to her also leaned over, with a little caution, and said in a low voice: "Mother, please take a break from the anger of the thunder, how can the younger brother and sister say that they are also the wife of the third brother for many years, and Su Ri is also a strict woman, there is nothing wrong with it." Shicai suddenly heard the bad news, and was angry and blinded his mind, so he made this unwise act, and asked his mother to spare her once. And the third brother is still fainting now, if he wakes up one day and knows about it, he is afraid that he will ...... He doesn't look good on his face either. ”
Old Madam Xu snorted coldly, not committal, and the girl knelt on the ground and pleaded a few words, seeing that although the grandmother had not spoken harshly for the time being, her face was still as grim as ice. Although she doesn't look very old, she is very smart, and she has won the appreciation of the elders in the Xu family on weekdays, and at this moment the mother and daughter are affectionate, and she knows that although her grandmother loves herself very much, she is strict in her temperament, especially for a family style, and she has never allowed things that corrupt the style.
Earlier, she saw her mother rushing here in a hurry, that is, she knew in her heart that she was afraid that something was going to happen, and she tried her best to block it, but she was helpless and weak, and she couldn't stop her mother from coming, and then the uncle and grandmother came over one after another, and this matter violated the bottom line of the grandmother, and the matter finally reached the point where it was out of control, and even her own bitter pleading could not be effective.
Anxiously worried, the beautiful girl's tears flowed through her snow-white cheeks, but the thought in her heart turned sharply, and suddenly she thought of something, and suddenly her eyes flashed, but she suddenly stood up from under the feet of Old Madam Xu, turned around and ran in front of Shen Shi in a few steps.
Shen Shi looked at the chaos and disposal of the Xu family at this moment, and when he felt embarrassed, he suddenly saw the girl running towards him, and he was also taken aback, and was puzzled, but suddenly saw the girl kneel down to him with a "poof", and cried in his mouth:
"Shen Gongzi, Brother Shen, just now my mother was confused and did something wrong, but she was just sad that my father was blinded, not a bad woman and a bad person. It's all a misunderstanding, I just ask Brother Shen that you have a lot of it, so spare my mother this time. ”
As he spoke, he lowered his head and kowtowed as he choked with tears.
Shen Shi was taken aback and hurriedly got out of the way, although this girl did not reveal her identity, but she could also know that she was Xu Xing's beloved daughter in the conversations just now, and naturally she was an eldest lady of the Xu family. What a noble status this is, no matter how arrogant Shen Shi is, he doesn't dare to go to the big stab to be worshiped by her.
At the same time, looking at the originally beautiful and delicate face of this Miss Xu family was full of tears, as weak and helpless as pear blossoms with rain, Shen Shi also felt a little more guilty in his heart, and hurriedly whispered: "Miss, don't be like this, you can't afford it." He hesitated for a moment, but raised his head with a wry smile, bowed to Mrs. Xu from afar, and said,
"The old lady is fair and honest, and Shen Shi is very grateful. It's just that as this Miss Xu said, it's just a misunderstanding, as long as you talk about it, it's true...... There really isn't a need to be too responsible. Otherwise, Shen Shi was also ashamed, and begged the old lady to be tolerant of this lady. ”
When Mrs. Xu heard his words, her face, which had been as cold as ice, finally became a little gentler, and at this time, Xu Teng lost no time in whispering a few words beside her, her eyes closed and opened slightly, and she said coldly to the woman who was paralyzed on the ground:
"Even Xue Ying, a ten-year-old girl, is smarter and calmer than you when she encounters trouble, that's it, since Shen Gongzi also opened his mouth to intercede for you, I will write down this matter for the time being, and when I go back and wait for the third child to wake up, I will deal with you carefully, go down first, don't be embarrassed here again." ”
After that, Mrs. Xu turned her head and didn't look at the woman anymore, and the woman finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard it in horror, and she dared to talk back, just said in a low voice, and thought about getting up and retreating. Who knows if it was because she was too hard to chase Shen Shi just now, or because she was too frightened under the prestige of Old Madam Xu, when she wanted to get up, she found that her body was weak, as if she had no strength at all, and she couldn't stand up.
Xu Teng saw it in his eyes, and hurriedly shouted to the girl in front of him: "Snow Shadow, go and help your mother go down to rest." ”
The girl named Snow Shadow agreed, and her expression seemed to be finally relieved, but her face was still a little pale, and she still looked a little afraid. But just when she stood up and just wanted to walk away, she suddenly seemed to think of something, Yingying's eyes moved slightly, but she saw Shen Shi standing aside.
Shen Shi felt the girl's clear and bright gaze, remembered the scene of pleading for her mother just now, and felt a lot of affection for this girl named Xu Xueying, at least in the situation just now, she did not have the slightest scruple about her status as the eldest lady of the family, and only did not hesitate to kneel and plead for the sake of the mother-daughter affection, Shen Shi did not feel that anyone in the family he knew in the past could do it.
So he also showed a smile with some kindness, and nodded at Xu Xueying.
Maybe the situation was too urgent just now and couldn't take too much into account, Xu Xueying at this moment finally seemed to have a little girlish shyness, when her eyes made contact with Shen Shi, her fair and delicate cheeks were slightly red, like a reddish flower in the spring breeze, green but beautiful.
She lowered her eyes, bowed slightly, and said in a low voice: "Thank you Brother Shen for being generous, saving my father, and interceding for my mother, Xue Ying is grateful." ”
Shen Shi returned the salute with a smile and said, "It's all a trivial matter, Miss Xu doesn't have to worry about it." ”
Xu Xueying let out a "hmm", glanced at Shen Shi deeply, then lowered her head and quickly walked to her mother, who was still sitting on the ground, helped her to stand up, and then walked out of the living room.
※※※
After Xu Xueying helped the third lady to leave, the originally tense atmosphere in the living room finally seemed to relax a little, and Old Madam Xu's face also softened, and she walked over with a crested cane, and said apologetically to Shen Shi:
"The family style is not strict, so that he laughs and is generous, so that Shen Gongzi laughs, and the old man is here to make amends to his son-in-law for his daughter-in-law. “
Shen Shi hurriedly stepped aside and arched his hand: "The old lady is too polite." “
Old Madam Xu nodded and said, "Son, please take a seat, let's sit down and talk." ”
Shen Shi agreed, and the Xu family had already come to clean up, and the action was also quick, and in a blink of an eye, the chaotic situation in the living room was cleaned up, the tables and chairs were straightened, Mrs. Xu sat on the main seat, Shen Shi sat on the left, and the head of the Xu family stood beside her in the presence of her mother.
After a while, another girl served hot tea again, so far the atmosphere was completely relaxed and gentle, after using the tea, Mrs. Xu said to Shen Shi: "This time I really want to thank Shen Gongzi for his help, saving the life of the child Xu Xing, and lest the old white-haired person send the black-haired person, this kindness is deep, if Shen Gongzi needs the help of the Xu family in the future, please don't be polite." ”
Shen Shi smiled and said, "The old lady is polite, in fact, I and Third Uncle Xu are also old acquaintances, so when I saw him in danger that day, it was naturally incumbent on me to come to the rescue." After that, he saw that Mrs. Xu and Xu Teng both showed a little surprise on their faces, so he told these two about their identity and origin, as well as their friendship with Sun You on Qingyu Island, and the fact that they had also seen Xu Xing in the middle.
Old Madam Xu suddenly realized, nodded and said: "I see, I didn't expect you and Xiaoyou to still be close friends, so it can be seen that this is also an opportunity." After that, she paused, then looked at Shen Shi, but said in a deep voice, "Shen Gongzi, since you have this kind of friendship, the old body doesn't regard you as an outsider anymore, so I asked Gongzi what was the situation of the third child in my family who was injured that day, and I hope that Gongzi will tell you." ”
Shen Shi nodded and agreed, he naturally wouldn't hide it for that Mountain Bear Hall, but when he was about to speak, he still hesitated and looked at the many subordinates of the Xu family standing around.
Mrs. Xu's face remained unchanged, Xu Teng coughed, and waved his hand lightly to the people around him, and those people quickly withdrew from the living room silently.
"The sect of the Mountain Bear Hall has also dealt with it a few times, and I know that its people have always acted ruthlessly, especially good at using poison, and I heard that one of the Elder Xiong has obtained an ancient poison scripture, which must be very difficult. In the case of self-speculation, maybe the two seniors may not want to make this matter public too early, or want to plan first, please forgive me for the rudeness. ”
Mrs. Xu bowed her head and said: "The son is cautious, and for the sake of my Xu family, I am really grateful for this heart." ”
Shen Shi nodded, then stood up and said, "The situation is roughly like this, if the two seniors have nothing else to do, they will leave first." ”
Old Madam Xu also stood up and said, "Son, don't be in such a hurry, my Xu family should be rewarded for such kindness......
Before the words fell, Shen Shi shook his head, and said in a row: "No need, the old lady's mind is in her heart." It's just that I am close friends with Sun You, and this time I will look at his face, if I receive a gift from the Xu family, I will be embarrassed to confess in front of him in the future. In the next farewell. ”
Saying that, she was about to leave, and Mrs. Xu persuaded Xu Teng several times, but seeing that Shen Shi was resolute, she no longer forced her to stay, and Xu Teng sent Shen Shi all the way out.
After Shen Shi left, Xu Teng walked all the way back to the living room, only to see that Old Madam Xu was still sitting alone in her seat, her expression was cold and her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about something.
Xu Teng walked over and said, "Mother, Shen Gongzi has already left." ”
Old Madam Xu nodded slowly and said, "Well, this time we owe this Shen Gongzi a great favor, but fortunately, he is in the Lingxiao Sect, and he is friends with Xiaoyou, so he will naturally have the opportunity to thank him in the future, but he is not in a hurry." But that mountain bear hall," she said here, she suddenly snorted coldly, and said, "Such a third-rate small faction is just occupying the local natives, and we don't bother to pay attention to them on weekdays, but we didn't expect that they were so bold that they dared to bully our Xu family." You arrange it, and within three days, you will inquire about the situation inside and outside the mountain bear hall to see what the situation is, anyway, it is natural to give them a lesson that they can't forget. ”
Xu Teng nodded in agreement, he was a little in awe in front of his mother, but when it came to dealing with these cultivation sects of the Mountain Bear Hall, he was calm, and he couldn't see the slightest difference.
Old Madam Xu pondered for a moment, and suddenly said to Xu Teng: "By the way, what do you think of Shen Shi?"
