Xu Ziming heard the shouting and rushed out, but he did not expect that Jin'er was being held by the girl in front of him. This girl should be his sister, but he didn't know which one.
The third lady said to Xu Ziming: "Brother, I am Ying'er, your third sister. Now is not the time to introduce who I am. Jin'er fell into the pool and is now soaked. There are no children's clothes in the house.
I put him into an adult's clothes."
Xu Ziming hugged the child and sent him into the house first. When he came out again, he took a soup pot and handed it to the third lady.
The third lady's face was a little pale and she was shivering from the cold. She must have rescued the child.
"Thank you, brother." Miss Third said awkwardly.
"Su'er invites you in for a cup of hot tea. I just happen to go in and see your sister-in-law." Xu Ziming said.
The third lady nodded and followed Xu Ziming into the house. When she entered, Su'er had already prepared hot tea, put the cup in front of her, and poured her a cup of tea.
"Third sister, drink it while it's hot." Su'er said.
After Xu Ziming sent the third lady inside, he turned around and went to the inner room to change Jin'er's clothes.
The third lady has been thinking about her aunt's words, so she feels uncomfortable sitting here.
"Third sister, what seems to be on your mind?" Su'er asked.
"Sister-in-law, I... I'm fine. I still have something to do. I'll come over for tea next time. The tea made by my sister-in-law is very fragrant and I like it very much." After the third lady finished speaking, she left without looking back.
After Xu Ziming poured a bowl of ginger soup for Jin'er, he walked out. Seeing the third lady leaving in a panic, he asked, "Why did she leave?"
"Ziming, I think she has something on her mind. It's just that something strange happened today. How could Jin'er fall into the pool?" Su'er said.
"When Jin'er wakes up, ask him to see if he has any impression." Xu Ziming said.
"I really didn't expect that the third sister would actually be willing to take our Jin'er," Su'er said.
"Yes, I was a little surprised when she came back with Jin'er in her arms. I just asked the servant when I was making ginger soup for Jin'er, and the servant said that it was indeed the third sister who jumped in and pulled Jin'er out. I just said
When I saw her, her lips were purple, her face was pale, and she was shivering all over from the cold." Xu Ziming said.
"It seems that she really wanted to save Jin'er, but in the end she seemed to have something to say, and for some reason, she ran away in the middle of saying it." Su'er said.
"When we live in Shangshu's Mansion, things will happen one after another. Are you afraid, Su'er?" Xu Ziming said.
"With you by my side, I'm not afraid." Su'er said.
Mrs. Shangshu, who had just met her grandson, also got the news at the same time, and Nanny Lan went back to report it in person.
"Mommy, how did Jin'er fall into the pool?" Mrs. Shangshu said with a frown.
"Back to Madam, I didn't know this. I just passed by and saw that the young master was already in the pool." Nanny Lan said.
"On weekdays, the third girl is not liked by others, and she always shows off with Baili Yanran. It's really rare that she was able to save Jin'er today." Mrs. Shangshu sighed.
In her impression, the third girl was just a vain girl. But this time, she was impressed.
"Madam, Third Miss didn't hesitate at all today and jumped directly into the pool. It seems that although Third Miss is greedy for vanity, I didn't expect that she is still a kind-hearted person." Nanny Lan said.
"Well, the third girl really impressed me. How is Jin'er doing now?" Mrs. Shangshu said.
"Back to Madam, Young Master Jin'er was sent back to the eldest young master by the Third Miss. I'm afraid he has gone back now." said Granny Lan.
"Have someone make some ginger soup for her and send it over now. That Aunt Liu thinks about competing for favor every day and has never cared about the third girl." Mrs. Shangshu sighed and said.
"Yes." Nanny Lan responded and immediately went to the kitchen to give instructions.
Mrs. Shangshu knew what Aunt Liu was thinking. Her Ming'er ran away from home because of her disobedience to the master. Aunt Liu must have been very happy. She wished that something happened to her Xian'er too, so that her son would have a chance to succeed.
It's a pity that the master has no intention of nurturing that son. Of course, it's not because he is a commoner, but because he is really unimproved.
After recovering her thoughts, Grandma Lan also returned to the main courtyard. Mrs. Shangshu was worried that Jin'er would catch a cold, so she ordered her servants to prepare soup. I wonder if Jin'er was frightened and whether she would come over for a meal soon.
Just when Mrs. Shangshu was worried, Xu Ziming walked into the front hall holding his wife's hand with his left hand and Jin'er's hand with his right hand.
When Mrs. Shangshu saw someone coming, she hurriedly said to Jin'er distressedly: "Jin'er, come here quickly and let grandma take a look. I really feel sorry for grandma."
Jin'er was obedient, and took Xu Ziming's hand, and ran over with her short legs stretched out. When she arrived in front of Madam Shangshu, she threw herself into Madam Shangshu's arms.
"Grandma." Jin'er called sweetly.
"What a good boy. Is Jin'er feeling unwell? Grandma has already prepared Tang Pozi. If you are cold, Grandma will have someone bring it over." Mrs. Shangshu said distressedly.
"Mom, you are too spoiled to him." Xu Ziming said.
Mrs. Shangshu snorted and waited for Xu Ziming. Seeing that Mrs. Shangshu was trying to kill her father, Jin'er quickly spoke to comfort her: "Grandma, Jin'er is fine. Don't worry. Jin'er was saved by her aunt. I don't know if she caught a cold."
.”
Mrs. Shangshu knew that Jin'er was thinking about the third aunt, so she asked: "Is Jin'er worried about the third aunt?"
Jin'er frowned and said, "Grandma is right. Jin'er is very worried about Third Aunt. After Third Aunt rescued me, I still remember that Third Aunt carried me back to the yard."
Mrs. Shangshu had no choice but to say to Aunt Lan: "Auntie, go to the backyard and call the third girl over. Just say that the little one will be worried if he can't see her."
"Yes." Nanny Lan went to the backyard.
Xu Ziming pulled his wife to sit aside and waved to Jin'er to come back. Jin'er turned around and wanted to leave, but Mrs. Shangshu said, "Let Jin'er sit next to me."
Jin'er sat next to Mrs. Shangshu and chatted and laughed with Mrs. Shangshu. Mrs. Shangshu said, "The food has been prepared a long time ago. If you don't eat it, it will get cold."
"Grandma, the third aunt hasn't arrived yet, why don't we wait for her?" Jin'er said.
Mrs. Shangshu was very surprised. She didn't expect Jin'er to like the third girl so much. Just as she was talking, the third lady followed Grandma Lan into the main courtyard.
The third young lady concealed her past arrogance, because after bathing in the water, she did not dress up deliberately, and came to the main courtyard with her hair in a simple bun.
"I've met my mother," the third lady said respectfully.
Mrs. Shangshu raised her head, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. Because the three girls always like to wear heavy makeup, they want to put all the hairpins in the jewelry box on their heads. Today, there is only a white jade hairpin inserted in the bun.
There was no makeup on her face. She looked very pure.
"Get up quickly. Jin'er is worried about you, so I called you here. Come and sit down quickly. When everyone is here, dinner can be served." Mrs. Shangshu said.
"Thank you, mother." The third girl stood up and sat next to Su'er.
The third lady didn't say much during the meal. She just answered whatever Jin'er asked her.
"It seems that Jin'er really likes Shu'er." Mrs. Shangshu said.
"I didn't expect that Jin'er would be so destined to the third sister. You saved Jin'er, and I haven't had time to say thank you." Xu Ziming said.
"Brother, you don't have to be polite, I just took advantage of it. The water in the pool is not deep, so no one reacted. But it is still very dangerous for a five-year-old child to fall in," the third lady said.
The third lady was not invited to the main courtyard to have a meal with them. Just after she came in, she discovered that even Xu Yu'er was not eating with them. It seemed that she had saved Jin'er, and the lady was very happy.
After several people had dinner, they went to the outer room to drink tea and chat. The third sister stayed with Jin'er all the time. Xu Ziming found that this third sister was actually very patient.
In fact, even the third lady herself was very surprised by this. Even if she knew that accompanying her grandson would bring benefits, she would not bother to do it.
Because at that time, she was thinking about how to marry into the prince's palace all day long.
But I don't know if I really fell in love with Jin'er. No matter what I do with Jin'er, I don't find it troublesome.
Because Jin'er fell into the water today, he only stayed in the outer room for half an hour. Xu Ziming said to Mrs. Shangshu: "Mother, Jin'er fell into the water today. My son wants to take him back to rest early."
"Go ahead and send the third girl back." Mrs. Shangshu said with a smile.
Several people left the main courtyard together. Xu Ziming held Jin'er and Su'er followed beside him. The three girls had no choice but to follow behind the couple. The three of them walked to the back garden unknowingly. Xu Ziming suddenly stopped.
He said to the three girls behind him: "Shu'er, did you have anything you wanted to tell me just now?"
The third girl almost bumped into Xu Ziming. After listening to Xu Ziming's words, she said: "Brother, Shu'er has nothing to say to eldest brother."
Xu Ziming still wanted to speak, but Su'er took over and said: "Third sister, not only does Jin'er like you, but I also like talking to you. I don't think it's better to come to my place and talk with me again?"
The third young lady thought about whether she should tell them about this matter, or whether it would harm her aunt. However, if her aunt really made a mistake, her elder brother would definitely not let her go. It seemed that she still needed to
She told her eldest brother first, and after she came to her senses, she nodded and agreed to Su'er.
After the three people entered the courtyard, Su'er hugged Jin'er and returned to the room. After Xu Ziming sat down, he asked the third lady to sit down and talk.
Xu Ziming asked again: "Shu'er, I can see that you have something on your mind. Why don't you tell it to your elder brother and see if he can help you? If you feel inconvenient, you can tell your sister-in-law. Please help.
Liao Jiner, as long as big brother can do anything, I will satisfy you."
The third young lady stood up and said, "Brother, I didn't mean that. I do have something to say, but I didn't save Jin'er in exchange for it."
"Of course I know this. If it's not inconvenient, just tell me." Xu Ziming continued to persuade.
"Brother, if I tell you, can you spare my aunt?" the third lady said.
"Tell me first." Xu Ziming said.
"Actually, after my aunt got the news of your return today, she was a little... disappointed. For my brother, my aunt was also heartbroken. After she knew that you were back..." The third lady repeated Aunt Liu's words.
