Xia's words lingered in Liuyun's ears, and she couldn't sleep all night. She had a feeling that Xia wanted to tell her something, but she hesitated to say it clearly, so she could only use such hints to let herself know. After going to investigate, she felt more and more that her mother's death was not simple.
But her mother's affairs were not the most important thing. Her father had been arrested by the prefect for a day, and Mrs. Lin was banned from the backyard and could not go out. So she went to find the old lady and said she wanted to go to the Shen Mansion to see her daughter. The old lady thought to herself It was also a good idea to let her go to check out the reputation of Magistrate Shen, so she and Liu Yun were asked to go to Shen's Mansion to see the second young lady. Mrs. Lin was reluctant, but she thought that Shen Yi might go to his father for Liu Yun's sake. I begged for mercy, so I went to Liu Yun.
When Liu Yun heard Ming Lin's intention to come, he was originally unwilling to go to Shen's Mansion, but then he thought that it would be a good idea to go and check out Magistrate Shen, and he could also see how Lan Xi was living, so he happily agreed.
The two came to the door of Shen's mansion. After the guard informed them, they took them to the backyard where Lan Xi lived. It was a quiet courtyard, but it was a little far away from the main house. Naturally, Mrs. Lin was unhappy. But there were some complaints that she couldn't express.
"Miss Lan Xi lives in Yixinyuan. The young master said that this place is quiet and suitable for Miss Lan Xi to rest." The housekeeper is also a talkative. Seeing Lin's ugly face, he explained.
"It is indeed a quiet place." As she spoke, Mrs. Lin quickly put a piece of gold into the butler's hand, still smiling slightly, "Our family Lan Xi is fragile, so please ask the butler to take good care of her in the future."
"It's natural." The housekeeper got the benefit and smiled naturally. He led the two of them to Yixinyuan, and then said: "The young master should be back soon. If the young master comes back, the servant will tell the young master that his wife and Miss Mu are here."
The two of them walked into Yixinyuan by themselves, while two rough maids were cleaning the yard. Lan Xi was sitting alone in the pavilion, wearing a thick windbreaker, contemplating, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Lan Xi, it's windy here, why did you come to the yard?" Mrs. Lin resented Lan Xi in her heart, but after all, she was her own flesh and blood. Seeing her look so skinny, she felt a little bit embarrassed after all. Heartbroken.
"Mom, eldest sister..." Lan Xi's surprised eyes immediately extinguished after touching Liu Yun, and she was even a little angry. The last thing she wanted to see was Liu Yun, letting her see her in a state of despair. She should be very happy.
"Are you feeling better?" Mrs. Lin put the things she brought on the stone table, looked around, and frowned, "The girls here don't understand the rules too much. No one has come since we've been here for a long time. Do you want to serve tea?"
Liu Yun glanced and saw that there were not many people walking around in the yard, but they were all busy with their own things, as if they hadn't seen them come in at all. Liu Yun raised his eyebrows, it seemed that Shen Yi really hadn't come. After a few times, otherwise these servants would not ignore her as a concubine.
He was really a cool man, Liu Yun sneered secretly in his heart.
"Mom, forget it." Lan Xi tilted her head, her expression was gloomy, and she had lost all of her previous high spirits in Mu Mansion, which actually surprised Liu Yun.
She originally thought that when she arrived at the Shen Mansion, she would try her best to get close to Shen Yi. Even if she couldn't get close, she would still try to please her parents-in-law. Looking at her appearance, it was obvious that she was no different from being thrown into the cold palace.
"How can I forget it? You are such a stubborn kid. You refused to stay in the mansion to recuperate your health, and you refused to bring your own girl when you came to Shen's mansion. Look at what you have done to yourself? " Mrs. Lin's eyebrows widened and her voice immediately rose. These words were obviously meant for the servants who were busy with their own affairs.
Hearing this, Liu Yun almost laughed out loud.
Mrs. Lin is really funny. When Lan Xi had an accident, she only took care of Hong Jing. Later, when she heard that the Shen Mansion came to pick her up, she just asked her nanny to deal with Lan Xi's matter and let her take care of the girl. She just said casually that the Shen Mansion said that there were girls serving in the house, so she didn't say anything more. If it hadn't been for her father's accident this time, she probably wouldn't have thought that she had such a daughter.
Liu Yun looked at Lan Xi. Perhaps the reason for her haggardness was not only Shen Yi but also the indifference of her own mother? She had personally experienced Shen Yi's ruthlessness and the feeling of falling from heaven to hell. , coupled with Lin's indifference, it is normal for her to be so decadent.
"Sister Lan Xi, this place is really lively." Xi Chuqing flirted with Mrs. Shen, followed by a group of maids, looking arrogant as if she was the master of the house.
"Mrs. Shen." "Aunt Shen." After saying hello, Mrs. Shen just nodded lightly. She lost her previous enthusiasm. Instead, she looked at Liu Yun with something in her expression. Liu Yun just looked back at her lightly. Look away.
"Mrs. Shen came just in time. I was talking about this ignorant daughter. She came to the pavilion to blow the air even though she was seriously ill. What should I do if the root cause of the disease is discovered?" Mrs. Lin was used to being a mistress in the past. She is no worse than Mrs. Shen when it comes to talking airs.
"Where's the girl? Come over quickly and help Miss Lan Xi into the house." Mrs. Shen is also a discerning person, so naturally she won't let anyone lose her words, so she turned around and called towards the yard.
"Speaking of which, Lan Xi has been pampered since she was a child. She may not be used to it when she first comes to the Shen Mansion. If the Shen Mansion doesn't have enough servants, I can bring a few over from the Mu Mansion. It doesn't matter." Those words with needles in the cotton are precious. Madams know it best, and Lin’s words hit the nail on the head.
The girl who was trimming the weeds hurriedly put down what she was doing and ran over. She reached out and was about to help Lan Xi up, but was stopped by a low shout. The girl turned to look at the person who spoke. It was the head of the Mu family in rich clothes. Miss.
"I never knew there were so many unruly girls in Master Shen's house. Can the mud and dust in this hand touch the master's?" Liu Yun coldly swept the hands of the two girls, arrogantly. She looked no less than Xi Chuqing. She glanced at Wan Qing behind her and said, "Wan Qing, help the second young lady to go to the room. The wind in this damn place is eerie and scary. "
Wan Qing lowered her eyebrows and stepped forward to help Lan Xi up. She looked very respectful, although she really couldn't understand the eldest lady's thoughts. Who was this kind of a showdown for? If the eldest lady saw the second young lady being treated like this on weekdays, Humiliation is not about gloating about someone else's misfortune. What's the point of helping the second young lady like this?
