Hearing the noise coming from outside, Mrs. Xie quickly stopped what she was saying and hurriedly adjusted her clothes and face.
Seeing Shen Zi, Xie's eyes fell on Shen Zi's shoes. Seeing that they were not wet at all, she said, "The snow is so heavy, why don't you sleep more? What are you doing here so early? I only eat with my family today. I'm lazy." What’s the harm?”
Mrs. Xie pulled Shen Zi to sit on the soft bed while calling Aunt Yu to bring hot tea.
Aunt Yu quickly brought the tea with her quick hands and feet.
"Mother, Ling Shuang is holding an umbrella, so my daughter is not cold." Shen Zi, who was pinned down and sitting on the couch, spoke up, "Father, my daughter is thinking that the marriage of the Gu family has been withdrawn, and the mother must clean up the Gu family. When I think about it, I want to learn from my mother about housekeeping."
Mrs. Xie, who was holding the teacup, had eyes full of disbelief. She glanced at Shen Linsheng, then put it down, and asked unhurriedly, "You didn't like these things the most in the past. Why are you interested today? Or are you? Or the Gu family’s side?”
Before Ms. Xie's voice continued to rise, Shen Zi replied, "It's not the Gu family. Didn't mother want Zi'er to learn a few days ago? My daughter thought about it for a while. After all, if she wanted to learn, she might as well learn to be a mother earlier. Just share it."
Mrs. Xie glanced at Father Shen and then told Aunt Yu, "Go out first and guard the courtyard door to prevent others from coming in."
"Yes." Aunt Yu looked at Mr. Xie, then exited the inner room and closed the door.
Shen Linsheng took a deep look at Shen Zi, his expression a little gloomy, "Did you take action last night?"
Shen Linsheng was both a question and an affirmation. Seeing that something was wrong with his face, Mrs. Xie immediately tensed up and said quickly, "Have a good life and don't scare your daughter. What did she do? She was clearly The young Marquis of the Gu family behaved inappropriately, and that's why this whole thing happened."
"My father only asked you, but what did you do?" Shen Linsheng emphasized his tone again.
"Father, I did it!" Shen Zi stood up and knelt down, "My daughter has nothing to say, please punish her father!"
"You..." Shen Linsheng originally had a lot of reprimands to say, but he took it back and said after a while, "Has the matter been settled? You have to know that there is the Shen family behind you. Don't do this again in the future. It’s just the stupid things.”
Shen Zi maintained a respectful posture, and after saluting Father Shen, she said frankly, "Father, my daughter was confused last night, but she does not regret it. Everything she did was for the Shen family.
If I don't do it, my father will definitely come forward to deal with this embarrassing matter about my daughter. Father, mother loves me so much that I will naturally plan for the Shen family. If you want to lose face and go to the Gu family to ask for help, your daughter will definitely not agree. "
Hearing this, Mr. Xie burst into tears and stared at Shen Zi. Unable to control the emotions in her heart, she stood up and pulled Shen Zi down, caressed her cheek and said, "You child, your father How can you be so weak? If the sky falls and your father and mother are on top of you, why bother blaming these things on yourself."
After hearing this, Shen Linsheng felt very uncomfortable.
After comforting Mrs. Xie, Shen Zi added, "My daughter is fully aware of what mother and father discussed just now."
Shen Linsheng raised his eyes and looked at Shen Zi.
"Why don't you let your daughter go to the second uncle's place? It's hard for an elder to control him and use your niece's things!" Shen Zi said solemnly.
Shen Linsheng looked at his daughter and felt that he had never recognized her. What happened last night had shocked him. Today.
He looked away, put down the teacup in his hand, and whispered, "Later, you can go to the second-bedroom courtyard!"
Then, Shen Linsheng seemed to have thought of something, and said to Shen Zi, "Should we assign some manpower to you? As for your second uncle, don't scare your grandmother, and let you do the rest."
When Shen Zi came to Wangqiu Garden, she guessed that her father would agree to this matter, and she had already made a plan in her heart.
She said, "I really want to ask my father how many people I can borrow. My daughter wants to take Butler Yuan and a few skilled servants with her. It is best if they are good at martial arts. The key is to look fierce. Father, don't worry, my daughter will not be harmed." Second uncle’s.”
"As for the mother, I have to trouble my mother to call a few old ladies, preferably those who are articulate and have signed a death contract with the Shen family. I also have to trouble my mother to have someone copy out a few more copies of the gift list sent by the Gu family. Be prepared for emergencies.”
Shen Linsheng was satisfied with such a simple request.
Mrs. Xie nodded when she heard this and asked, "Mom, I do, but why do you need to write more gift lists?"
"My daughter just wants to have a good confrontation with her second uncle, and let others take a good look at her!" Shen Zi said, comforting, "Don't worry, mother, with Butler Yuan protecting me, my second uncle can't hurt my daughter. But mother needs to be careful. Come out, what things are still in our courtyard, and what things have gone to the second uncle's house, don't miss it."
When Mrs. Xie heard the word "leak", she held Shen Zi's hand and said firmly, "My mother will never miss anything, nor will she take any more money from his second wife."
Not long after Shen Zi left Wangqiu Garden, Butler Yuan and Aunt Yu led people to Shen Zi's residence.
"Miss, this is the gift list you asked for. Madam said it is not enough. She still has it there. Just ask someone to get it." Aunt Yu put down the things, took a box from another old lady, opened it and said, "This is the key to the Shen family's warehouse. The rest is a list of things that the second room used to take when they came to the main room. Madam also prepared a few more copies for you. She said that if the second room is not convinced, just look for her."
Shen Zi, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at these things and couldn't help but smile. Her mother had prepared a lot for her. She flipped through the old account books, frowning more and more, and said, "It seems that over the years, my second uncle has come from here." A lot of things were taken away.”
"There are more than a few. In the past, if anything good was obtained in this mansion, there was always a way to take it away. If it weren't for the sake of our ancestors, I'm afraid I wouldn't let them take a cent of it." At this point. At the same place, Aunt Yu took out another box of things and said, "Madam said, this is the death contract for those old ladies. It's up to the young lady to make the decision."
Shen Zi paused while flipping through the account book and smiled slightly, "Mom really understands me. I just hold this thing and tell people outside. If I do well today, this death contract will be returned to me." If they don't do a good job, the Shen Mansion may not be able to tolerate them."
After putting away the things, Aunt Yu said with a smile, "Miss is a kind-hearted person, I guess they will do everything they can."
Butler Yuan, who was standing aside, had an old and stereotyped face, but he was very discerning. He stepped forward respectfully, clasped his fists and saluted Shen Zi, "Miss, the master asked me to bring the person to the door of the courtyard. This is Please ask the lady to take a look at their brochure."
