Su Zhen took Yuzhu around the streets and alleys, and came back loaded with a lot of folk snacks and all kinds of strange gadgets.
The two of them entered through the gate openly. When they heard that Su Qingyang had returned to the house with Shi Zhenfang, Su Zhen didn't react at all.
Before she entered the house, the servants passing by had already stepped out of the house and took everything in their hands.
The group arrived at Jinsexuan. Before they crossed the threshold, Su Zhen, who was in a good mood, shouted loudly, "Shenchen! Shenchen!"
"..."
Except for the greetings from the maids and servants, Su Zhen didn't see anyone she wanted to see.
"Zichang!"
"Sir, I'm here! What are your orders?" the young man stepped forward and asked.
"Where's Shen Chen?"
Zichang looked around, touched his head, and said suddenly, "Oh, by the way, sir, I seemed to have seen Miss Mo Shen and Tan'er going out together earlier."
Tan'er?
Su Zhen narrowed her eyes, "Do you know where they went?"
"The villain was far away at the time. He only heard them talking about the old lady and didn't hear anyone else."
"I understand, I'll go to the old lady's courtyard first." Su Zhen patted Yuzhu on the shoulder, "Little monk, you should rest early."
"After you find Miss Mo Shen, are you going to drink? Master said that drinking is harmful to the body."
Su Zhen suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and forced a smile, "Okay, I won't drink."
Yuzhu watched Su Zhen hurriedly leave Jinse Xuan, held the oil paper bag containing the vegetarian meatballs in her hand tightly, and walked back to the wing that Su Zhen had sent for him to arrange for him.
But just as he was about to step into the threshold, he turned around and followed the direction Su Zhen left to catch up.
"Eh? Little Master! Why did you run away! Oh no, hurry up, Tao'er, go find the eldest lady to save you."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
"Zichang, where will these things of the eldest son be placed?"
"Young master must have bought it for little Master Yuzhu on a whim. Send it to his room to put it away first. Don't touch the rest."
"yes!"
The boys who were left behind by Su Zhen moved all the things Su Zhen brought back to the Yuzhu House.
...
Hengwuyuan.
Just when Su Zhen left the secret passage, Mo Shen was tricked by Tan'er into Hengwuyuan where the old lady lived.
When she entered through the front door, she noticed that something was not right in the atmosphere.
The old lady Su Liu is over fifty years old, but her naturally curved hair is still black and shiny, and there is no wrinkle on her cheeks. The purple color combination of warm red and cold blue does not look old-fashioned when she wears it on her body, and her body naturally flows with the traces of years of exposure.
The fragrance left behind by flowers and trees.
Aunt An is seated at the bottom. She is wearing a lotus color double-breasted jacquard horse-face skirt and a full set of light pink brocade jewelry. She has a dignified and virtuous posture, a sweet smile, elegant and elegant, and her hands are naturally folded in front of her body.
, holding a white plum brocade handkerchief in his right hand.
Su Changhuan wore an aqua pleated skirt with coral-colored butterflies embroidered on the placket and cuffs of lotus pink smoked yarn. The light blue lower skirt was also embroidered with staggered pink and blue two-color butterflies. Her rolled-up hair was decorated with
An orange-pink magnolia flower hairpin, and a plum blossom-shaped jade pendant with tassels hanging from her waist.
The pretty girl smiles brightly, the beginning of autumn is approaching, and she is full of passion.
Since Aunt Liu was suspected of 'poisoning' the old lady, her life in the house has become increasingly difficult. Fortunately, she still has a son, Su Qingyang, with her. Even though he is a bastard, he is still the son of the house.
Su Zhen had always been worried that Aunt Liu would frame Yan Huiran while she was not at home, but so far, nothing had happened.
Aunt Liu had already heard the news and came here specially dressed up to show off her high profile.
The already voluptuous face was specially made up with exquisite makeup, and her eyes were as charming as silk, and the peach blossoms made her look even more charming. She wore an apricot-colored skirt with four ruffles and three pleats, and a translucent long gown outlined with gold thread on the light purple piping. It has an iris pattern, embroidered flowers on the outside of both sleeves, and a silk ribbon around the waist. The clothes worn on the body are not heavy, but all are exquisite and eye-catching.
When Mo Shen stepped through the door, their eyes changed.
Mo Shen spends most of her time outside cultivating little demons and helping them practice their martial arts. When she has nothing to do, she will sit in the Jinse Pavilion and read the folk tales she has collected, and her life is quite enjoyable.
Her demon skills are definitely far inferior to those of Mo Sheng, but as a demon, she loves freedom by nature, and it is normal for her to not bow to the human race from the bottom of her heart.
Su Zhen's pampering towards Mo Shen was well known to everyone. In order to prevent her from bowing to others, she was often not allowed to step out of Jinsexuan. Therefore, there were also rumors that Su Zhen had "hidden her love in the golden house".
The old lady looked at Mo Shen carefully and said that Zhen'er likes Mo Shen's girl, but Zhen'er has not accepted Mo Shen as his maid.
"I've met the old lady, the second young lady, Aunt Liu, and Aunt An."
Mo Shen reluctantly knelt down and saluted, then stood up on his own.
"Mo Shen, Zhen'er returned home safely after experiencing a catastrophe, and went to the Siwei Mansion to resume her duties without taking a break. As his eldest maid, why didn't you give me some advice?"
"Old madam, the young master has his own plans for doing things, and my brother and I never interfere too much."
Mo Shen answered bluntly, and clearly did not claim to be in accordance with his dignity.
Uncharacteristically, the old lady did not blame her for her lack of etiquette. Instead, she waved to Mo Shen, and when she came closer, she took her hand affectionately.
"Girl, you have been in the house for eight years, and you know a lot about Zhen'er's character and preferences. After discussion with your master, I decided to let Zhen'er take you into the house and take you as my concubine."
Everyone in the room was waiting for Mo Chen to show his grateful expression of surprise, but Mo Chen's face was full of doubts and he said in shock, "Concubine? Even if the young master is a very nice person, do I have to marry him?"
Seeing the old lady's unkind expression, Aunt An covered her lips with a handkerchief and smiled softly, "Old lady, the eldest young master has always put Miss Mo Shen in his heart and pampered her. If you just say it straight away, I'm afraid that you will Miss Mo Shen was frightened."
Brother and sister Mo Shen and Mo Sheng did not sign a deed of sale to the Taifu Mansion. They have the right to independent actions and personal rights and are not owned by the Taifu Mansion.
Therefore, the patronizing attitude of the old lady and others made her quite unhappy.
The old lady has already checked Mo Shen's family background. Apart from her eldest brother Mo Sheng, she has no other relatives. She has a simple and harmless temperament and is very controllable. Su Zhen has often caused troubles in the past few months, so now Fan almost dragged the entire Taifu Mansion into trouble.
Yan Huiran, who had always been virtuous and sensible, had a rift with Su Tingye because of Qi Wan, and she lost her demeanor as the matron of the family.
In order to keep Su Zhen in her hands, the old lady thought of starting with the people around her and cannibalizing them step by step.
The people in Jinsexuan, such as Qin'er, were arranged by the old lady to be around Su Zhen and said they were taking care of her. But to put it bluntly, they were just eyeliners for the sake of publicity.
"Girl Mo Chen, you don't have to be afraid. I see that you have been following Zhen'er for many years. Even if he lets you go out of the house, he will definitely be reluctant to let you go. If you can always stay in the house, I will feel at ease."
