After Shen Xingwan returned to the Shen family, he was in dire straits and was still struggling to make ends meet.
Su Jingyi's life was not easy either. Shen Xingwan was finally sent away by the front foot. Before she could be happy, the old lady of the back foot hired a strict upbringing nun for her.
Although the Shen family is poor, Su Jingyi, as the only daughter of the second wife, has been frail and sick since she was a child, so she can be said to have been pampered.
The nun who came out of the palace took a look and found that this young lady from the Hou Mansion was full of problems, including appearance, etiquette, speech, vision, temperament...
Su Jingyi was severely tortured for a few days and soon she couldn't bear it any more and was bedridden unable to get up.
"Mom, I'm sorry because my daughter failed to live up to expectations." Su Jingyi was lying on the bed with a pale face, her eyes were as red as a little rabbit, and she was crying so hard that I felt pity for her.
Mrs. Su instantly softened her heart and said, "Jingyi, take good care of yourself and don't think too much about it."
There was no need to say anything about not letting her continue to learn the rules. Mrs. Su was born in a family and knew the importance of rules and etiquette better than anyone else.
Disappointment flashed across Su Jingyi's eyes. This was completely different from the life she had imagined in the Hou Mansion.
He is better fed and clothed than before, and has a large group of maids to serve him.
But Su Jingyi still couldn't be happy, and even felt very aggrieved.
Madam Hou took her out as guests several times, but she couldn't fit into the circle of famous ladies at all. She couldn't understand what they were saying, and couldn't pick up the conversation. Even a few girls in the house said that she was...
A bumpkin from the countryside.
Madam Hou comforted her, and Su Jingyi agreed obediently on the surface.
As soon as Mrs. Waiting left, she immediately threw the pillow to the ground with an angry look on her face.
The maid she brought back from the Jiangnan tribe immediately came to comfort her, "Miss, don't be angry, you are now the daughter of the Marquis's family, and good days are still waiting for you."
"Why do everyone say I'm not as good as her!" Su Jingyi said unwillingly.
This was the most common comment she had heard during this period. Everyone was talking about how nice and cute Shen Xingwan was, openly or secretly.
Shaoyao picked up the pillow on the ground, rolled her eyes and whispered to Su Jingyi, "The nanny who sent her to Jiangnan is back. I went to inquire about it."
Shaoyao used to be the eldest maid of the Shen family in Jiangnan. She was able to stand out and be sent to Su Jingyi's side. Naturally, she was not a vegetarian.
She also understood that if she wanted to gain a foothold next to Su Jingyi after entering the Hou Mansion, she had to show some skills to make Su Jingyi value her.
When Su Jingyi heard this, her eyes immediately lit up. She ignored her anger and immediately waved to Shaoyao, "How is she doing in Jiangnan?"
Aunt Jin was also well-calculated. After sending Shen Xingwan back to the Shen family, she did not leave Jiangnan immediately, but stayed temporarily to handle some other matters assigned by Mrs. Hou.
Of course, I didn’t forget to pay attention to Shen Xingwan’s situation throughout the whole process.
Sure enough, Madam Hou asked as soon as she came back.
After hearing this, he said with a sigh, "I'm sorry for that child. With a family like that, I don't know what will happen in the future."
Then he sighed, "Fortunately, I brought Jingyi back. Thinking about the life Jingyi spent in the Shen family, I feel uncomfortable."
Aunt Jin immediately consoled her, "Young lady is back now. Good luck lies ahead."
Shaoyao lowered her voice and said, "I heard that she had a very bad life in the Shen family. Mrs. Shen almost wanted to sell her. Moreover, the Shen family was in chaos every day."
When Su Jingyi heard that Shen Xingwan was not doing well, she felt a little less depressed.
It doesn't matter if he is better than her, he still has to go back to the Shen family and live a hard life.
Shaoyao looked at Su Jingyi's expression and immediately said with a wink, "She probably won't be able to leave the country in her life. When she grows up, she will marry a farmer and farm fields for the rest of her life."
After all, Su Jingyi was still young and was pampered, so she couldn't hide the expression on her face, showing some smile.
"My lady, you are different. You are well-dressed and well-fed. Those who have come here are all ladies from famous families, and your future husband will definitely be one of the best among men." Shaoyao continued to praise.
The corners of Su Jingyi's mouth curled up, "What are you talking about? It would be bad if others heard you."
"What this slave said is true." Shaoyao said sincerely, "Miss and her will be together in the sky and on the earth from now on."
Su Jingyi finally calmed down in her heart, it didn't matter if she was good, she was destined to be stepped on by her in this life, and she couldn't even touch the hem of her skirt.
Shaoyao took the opportunity to persuade again, "Miss, I heard that the nanny that the old lady hired for you this time is from the palace, and the second and third bedrooms are secretly jealous behind your back."
Shaoyao is a smart person, and she deeply understands that they can become servants when their master treats them well, so she hopes that Su Jingyi can learn from her.
Su Jingyi was not someone who couldn't listen to others. She hesitated and said, "When I get better, I will continue to study."
"I miss my eldest brother and second brother a little bit." Su Jingyi said softly.
There are strict rules in the Hou family, and none of her sisters can play with her. Her brothers are not often seen studying in the outer courtyard.
Su Jingyi was actually quite lonely, but she began to miss the days when the Shen brothers coaxed her to play.
"Miss, please don't say this again in the future." Shaoyao advised, "Your brother is a very talented prince, so you have to find a way to get closer to him."
Su Jingyi also knew in her heart that if the Shen brothers were good, they would probably be like that in this life. Not only would they not be able to bring her any help, they would only become a stain on her.
Her experience in the countryside was not a good experience in her life.
"You're right, I won't mention it anymore." Su Jingyi quickly made up her mind.
After she recovered from the illness, the old lady specially summoned her. I don’t know what she said to her. When Su Jingyi came out, her eyes were red and her face was extremely ugly.
"I will definitely do better than her!" Su Jingyi almost gritted her teeth and swore when she returned to the room.
The whole person's fighting spirit was aroused, and his eyes were burning with anger.
"Miss, she is no longer qualified to compete with you." Shaoyao comforted her.
Su Jingyi snorted coldly, "But everyone still remembers how good she is. The old lady actually said that I would be satisfied if I could learn even three points of her skills."
Shaoyao lowered his head and did not dare to answer.
Su Jingyi clenched her fists and swore, "I don't believe I can't compare to her. How can a thief be compared to me?"
After that day, Su Jingyi almost changed. She no longer cried easily and no longer looked soft and weak.
My personality has become a lot more cheerful, and I have worked extra hard and conscientiously to learn from my nanny.
Work hard to be a good sister and daughter. Your whole person will become more and more like a noble daughter.
Gradually establishing a firm foothold in the circle of the Hou family and the daughter of the capital, Shen Xingwan, the former daughter of the Hou family, was gradually forgotten.
Su Jingyi grew up very quickly and very well, and she felt like a fish in water in the Hou Mansion.
She rarely even thinks about that memory in the countryside anymore, and she doesn't like to be mentioned.
