"It's not your cheap hooves that scares you!" Fourth Yiniang scolded angrily, with inexplicable anxiety on her brows. Shen Yunchu looked at her with a half-smile but ignored her and walked straight towards Wutong Garden.
It was March day, and the sycamore trees in Wutong Garden were blooming with purple flowers, and there was a sweet fragrance in the air. Shen Yunchu looked at Hanxue who was covering his nose with a half-smile, and said warmly: "Hanxue, this sycamore tree The tree is also called the phoenix tree. The flower roots taste sweet. When I was a child, I came to Shen Mansion to wish Mrs. Shen a birthday. I liked it very much. Please help me pick a few fresh ones and put them on the window sill of my inner room. Calm down, okay?"
Hanxue turned to Chunyan and ordered: "Chunyan, have you heard the aunt's instructions? Why don't you go quickly?"
Shen Yunchu sneered in his heart. He dared to appoint people casually in front of her. He really regarded himself as half a master. Her sharp eyes focused on Hanxue, "Chunyan still wants to help me take a bath. Besides, she is young. , you are clumsy, if you damage the sycamore flowers and they will no longer be pleasing to the eye, you’d better pick them yourself, remember, pick the ones that are not in bloom.”
Hanxue glanced at Chunyan displeasedly and turned around.
"哐——" A bucket of water was spilled on the cobblestone ground. The little girl in blue fell to the ground, grinning in pain. A woman scolded behind her, "You bastard, you are obviously a bastard, but you are still alive." You really treat me as your own noble, why are you raising me if you can’t even lift a bucket of water?"
"Mother Meng, please spare me!" Faced with the mother-in-law's beating and scolding, the little girl only dared to kowtow and beg for mercy.
Shen Yunchu frowned. This mother Meng is the sister of Housekeeper Meng in the mansion. She has always been domineering in the Shen mansion, but now she dares to teach the little girl a lesson in front of her and accuse Sang Huai. Do you really think she is easy to bully?
"Insolent!" Mother Luo stepped forward to stop her and scolded her in a sharp voice: "This is the Wutong Garden of the First Mother. How can I allow you, a naughty slave like you, to be so arrogant here? You still don't know how to restrain yourself in front of the delicate girls in the house, and you use filthy words to humiliate them." Your delicate ears, why don’t you step back soon!”
Shen Yunchu knew what Mother Luo was up to. This Mother Meng was also Butler Meng's sister. Offending her meant not giving Butler Meng face. If she offended Butler Meng, her Wutong Garden would suffer sooner or later. It would be better to sell it to As a matter of personal preference, Butler Meng could just reprimand her and ask her to quit.
Shen Yunchu remained silent or expressed his position, and slowly walked over to help the little maid in blue on the ground, "What is your name and where do you work?"
The little maid wiped her tears and bowed, "My name is Cui Ya. She was originally the little girl who opened the curtain in the second aunt's yard. Because something happened to my second aunt, I was transferred to the woodshed to do miscellaneous work. I heard that my aunt returned home. I wanted to come and check on my aunt, but I just wanted to take a look from a distance, but I didn’t expect that I bumped into my aunt.”
Shen Yunchu looked at her carefully and found that she looked familiar. Then he remembered that his second aunt was taken to Yunzhou by his father to take care of their father and daughter's daily life because of her infertility. And because she returned to Beijing to get married, his father sent his second aunt to Yunzhou to take care of their father and daughter's daily life. The aunt came back with her. During the period when she was about to get married, the second aunt was killed by Webster's staff for stealing and was thrown into a mass grave.
