Master Shangshu stood outside the door, thinking that he would see the third girl soon, and he seemed a little nervous. Master Shangshu was extremely disliked by the third lady because of her character. Perhaps it was also because he was ashamed of her biological mother that he chose
Escape.
After a while, Mrs. Shangshu came out and invited Lord Shangshu to come in.
When Lord Shangshu entered, he saw the third lady lying on the bed.
The third young lady was a little excited because she hadn't seen her father for a long time. She had heard that her father was seriously ill before, and she was still a little concerned about it. Seeing her father standing in front of her in high spirits, she was naturally a little excited. "Father, have you recovered from your illness?
?" Miss Third said.
Master Shangshu nodded and said softly: "Being a father is no longer a serious problem, but it has made you suffer so much."
"Ying'er is not suffering, father doesn't need to worry." Miss San said.
"Third girl, you are sensible." Master Shangshu said with emotion.
"Okay, wait until she feels better before chatting with her. The girl just drank the medicine, so let her sleep for a while first." Mrs. Shangshu said.
She was worried that the third young lady would burst into tears when she suddenly saw her father visiting her. She was injured and could not be excited all the time to avoid damaging the wound.
"That's fine, you take good care of it first, and your father will come to see you later." Master Shangshu said with some distress.
Third Girl used to wear heavy makeup and her face was never pure. Just now he suddenly saw this face. Although it was a little pale, it was very clean. This reminded him unconsciously of Third Girl's biological mother, that poor woman.
After leaving the house, the couple returned to the house.
Both of them rested on the soft couch. Lord Shangshu secretly looked at Madam Shangshu before he said, "Madam, I have something on my mind that I want to tell you. I wonder if you want to hear it?"
The lady didn't know what the Lord Shangshu was thinking of, so she said, "Sir, just say what you have to say."
"Actually, what I want to tell you is about the third girl's mother, but I'm afraid you will blame me. So..." Lord Shangshu said hesitantly.
"I know that when you see Third Girl's appearance, you will think of that woman. When Third Girl is not wearing makeup, she is very similar to her. After you saw Third Girl's appearance just now, you will definitely think of that woman.
About time?" Madam Shangshu said.
"Madam, in fact, I have lied to you about this matter for many years. The third girl is not my biological daughter, and I have never touched that poor woman. If I knew that bringing her back to the house would kill her, beat me to death.
I won’t bring her back either.” Master Shangshu sighed and murmured.
Mrs. Shangshu looked at Lord Shangshu in shock, with a look of disbelief on her face. How could this be possible? How could the master bring an unrelated woman and child back to the house?
Master Shangshu continued: "I knew you wouldn't believe it. At that time, I might have acted like this just to vent my anger on you. Qing'er is actually the wife of an Orion, and that Orion is also my friend.
An accident happened and I fell into a trap in the mountains. I was rescued by this hunter and stayed in a hut in the mountains to recuperate. The couple were very enthusiastic. In addition to entertaining me with prey, they also waited until I was well enough to treat me.
I sent them to the foot of the mountain. Later, I would often visit them with a few bottles of wine. The last time happened to be when you and I had a quarrel. After we went to the mountain, I found that only his wife Qing'er was there. She told me that Orion
I went hunting in the mountains and haven't come back yet. Because I was pregnant, I didn't dare to go up the mountains to look for the hunters. So, I asked her to wait at home and went up the mountains to look for the hunters alone. As a result, I found that the hunters were attacked by wolves and were dying.
Before he died, he asked me to take care of his wife. I had no choice but to agree to him. After burying him, I discussed with Qing'er and brought her to Shangshu Mansion to take care of her. At first she didn't agree.
, I told her how an orphan and a widowed mother could take care of their children? I reassured her that I would only take her into the backyard and give her and the child a place to live. When the child grows up, if she wants to leave, I won’t
After she thought about it, she agreed to my suggestion. But what I didn’t expect was that other aunts would drug her before she gave birth. So, I felt sorry for her. At that time, I planned to tell the truth
I told you the truth and asked you to raise the third girl. But I saw that you were very prejudiced against me and would not listen to my explanation even if you thought about it. Aunt Liu happened to beg me to raise the third girl, so I agreed. In fact, I gave
This girl has another name, Siqi. Her father’s surname is Qi, so I gave her a homophonic name.” Lord Shangshu told Madam Shangshu the whole story word for word.
Mrs. Shangshu couldn't react for a moment, and she didn't expect that the truth of the matter was like this. The third girl was actually the daughter adopted by the master. If she hadn't listened to him at that time, she would not have been adopted by Aunt Liu.
"Master, how could things be like this?" Mrs. Shangshu said after she recovered.
"Actually, I've always felt sorry for Qing'er, because I didn't do what I promised her. The third girl was not taught well by Aunt Liu, but became more and more arrogant. After seeing the third girl today, I breathed a sigh of relief.
.Because she has grown up and is no longer that willful girl." Master Shangshu murmured.
"Master, are you going to tell her your life story?" Mrs. Shangshu asked.
"Of course not. She has already been hit once. If she knew her life experience, I believe she would be even more sad. Besides, wouldn't it be good for us to have an extra daughter?" Master Shangshu said.
"You are right, then I will pretend that I never knew about this," the lady said.
The reason why she asked the master for his opinion was because she was really worried that Miss San would be in a low mood and the wound would worsen after she found out about this incident. The most important thing now is not to let her know her life experience, but to let her hurry up
Get better.
The two people were talking when Grandma Lan's voice came in.
"Madam, sir, Master Jin'er is here." Nanny Lan said with a smile.
"Quick, let him in." Mrs. Shangshu said with a smile.
After a while, Xu Ziming walked in holding Jin'er's hand.
Jin'er saw Mrs. Shangshu and the Lord, and walked over with Xu Ziming's hand.
"I've seen my grandma, eh? Grandpa, are you back? I've seen my grandpa." Jin'er was stunned for a moment, then saluted to her grandfather.
Master Shangshu said with grin from ear to ear: "Didn't my grandfather promise you that he would come back in a few days? So, my grandfather hastened his pace and hurried back."
"Father, mother." Xu Ziming whispered.
Lord Shangshu hadn't seen Xu Ziming for a long time, and when he suddenly saw him, he had mixed feelings and didn't know what to say.
Madam Shangshu coughed lightly and reminded Lord Shangshu. Lord Shangshu calmed down and then remembered and said, "Ming'er, are you okay?"
Xu Ziming nodded and said, "Yes, let father worry about it."
Master Shangshu knew why Xu Ziming was so cold. He took a breath and said, "Ming'er, since you are back, don't leave. My father was too stubborn in the past, so don't remember your father."
"Father, there is something wrong with Ming'er. It was the son who was unfilial first, how can you blame the father?" Xu Ziming said.
Mrs. Shangshu was worried that the father and son would quarrel again, so she hurriedly said: "Okay, it's all in the past, let's not mention it again."
Just as Mrs. Shangshu finished speaking, she heard Jin'er's childish voice: "Grandma, Jin'er originally planned to ask Third Aunt to play in the back garden, but my mother told me that Third Aunt was sick. Is it true? She
How could you be so careless?"
Master Shangshu's eyes were full of doubts when he heard this, because although Jin'er was young, everything he said showed concern for the third girl.
Master Shangshu came to his senses and said, "Does Jin'er like third aunt?"
"Third aunt is very good to Jin'er, so Jin'er likes her, and third aunt also likes Jin'er very much." Jin'er said with a smile.
Mrs. Shangshu said to Jin'er dotingly: "Well, of course Third Aunt likes Jin'er. However, Third Aunt is indeed ill, and she can't play with Jin'er until she gets better."
"Jin'er wants to visit Third Aunt, I wonder if it's possible?" Jin'er thought for a while and asked.
Mrs. Shangshu smiled and said, "Jin'er will visit Third Aunt tomorrow, and I will definitely see her."
Mrs. Shangshu thought that the third girl was feeling better this morning. If Jin'er went in to visit, she would not be able to rest well. It would be better to wait until tomorrow and take Jin'er with her.
"Jin'er knows." Jin'er was a little disappointed not to see the third lady.
"Mom, you didn't sleep well last night because of your third sister, and Jin'er won't stay in the main courtyard tonight." Xu Ziming said.
Seeing the tired look on Mrs. Shangshu's face, Xu Ziming planned to take Jin'er back to his yard soon.
Mrs. Shangshu was a little reluctant, so she tried to persuade him to stay: "Jin'er staying here won't affect our rest, so why don't we just leave him in the main courtyard."
Xu Ziming did not refuse, but looked at Jin'er and said to him: "Jin'er, do you want to stay?"
Jin'er was very smart, and she could tell from her father's words why her grandmother didn't have a good rest last night while taking care of her third aunt. If he stayed, it would definitely affect her grandmother's rest.
So, he thought for a while and said: "Jin'er should go back with her father. Jin'er can go to her uncle to practice swordsmanship."
"Jin'er is only five years old, so she can't wield a sword or a gun." Mrs. Shangshu said quickly.
"Don't worry, mother. Xian'er specially made him a wooden sword to play with." Xu Ziming comforted her.
"Where's Su'er? Why don't you come together to meet your father?" After Mrs. Shangshu finished speaking, she looked at Lord Shangshu's face.
Originally, Xu Ziming wanted to bring Su'er over here, but Su'er thought it would be better to come over early tomorrow morning just to say hello to her father and mother. So, she didn't come with him.
"Su'er wants to come over early tomorrow morning to pay her respects to her father and mother. I wonder if that's possible?" Xu Ziming said lightly.
Madam Shangshu secretly looked at Lord Shangshu and heard Lord Shangshu say: "Okay, then your mother and I will wait for your family of three to come over early tomorrow morning."
After hearing what Lord Shangshu said, the lady first breathed a sigh of relief. Because she knew that Lord Shangshu was no longer stubborn and put his family first.
"Yes." Xu Ziming said.
Over the years, he has secretly returned to Shangshu Mansion to visit his two elders, especially worried about his mother. After all, she was the one who let him go in the first place.
