"The eldest lady is here, the old lady is waiting for you." The maid waiting by the door gently lifted the door curtain.
Shen Xingwan had just walked in holding up the hem of her skirt. Before she could raise her head, the old lady immediately took a handkerchief and began to wipe the corners of her eyes, "My poor dear, grandma will never see you again."
The corners of Shen Xingwan's mouth twitched, there were really no tears left. He closed his eyes and pinched his thigh, and began to cry pitifully.
"Grandma is reluctant to leave you every night."
"After Wanwan leaves, you must take good care of yourself. I will miss you."
A moment ago, the pitiful crying sounded throughout the room. When Shen Xingwan was crying until she was about to hiccup, the old lady finally stopped crying and touched her head lovingly, with a twinkle in her eye.
He said, "If you have any difficulties after returning home, just come to grandma and grandma will make the decision for you."
Shen Xingwan's mind changed. Su Jingyi had tricked her so many times. It wouldn't be too much for her to take revenge once.
There was an aggrieved expression on his face, "I calmed down and thought about what happened last night. It was clear that someone was taking advantage of Third Sister. Their thoughts were too vicious."
The old lady asked calmly, "Who do you think did it?"
Of course, Shen Xingwan couldn't directly say it was Su Jingyi, so he had to turn around and say, "Grandma can definitely find out the mastermind behind this. I just feel that this formal style is not in line with the style of the Hou family."
The old lady smiled and said, "You are a smart boy."
Precisely because of this, the Marquis cannot keep her, Jingyi's child has some serious thoughts, and the two of them will definitely be the source of trouble if they stay together.
She has hired the best nun to teach Su Jingyi the rules. As expected, she was raised by a poor family. She is narrow-minded and behaves in a petty manner.
Shen Xingwan smiled sweetly and did not answer. The old lady has always been a smart person in the plot.
In front of this kind of person, you can just stop talking a lot.
The old lady was very satisfied with her performance and quickly got down to business. The main reason for calling you here today is to give her instructions, "When I send you to Jiangnan, there is also a young lady from the clan who is going back to Jiangnan, and you guys happen to be traveling together."
.”
"I will take good care of my sister." Shen Xingwan answered politely.
The old lady's eyes flashed, "There's no need for that, it's just that she's not in good health. Just don't disturb her too much on the way."
Shen Xingwan obediently agreed, lingered with the old lady for a while, and walked out of Chaoyang Residence with the farewell gift from the old lady in his hand.
I always feel that something is wrong. An insignificant clan sister needs to be ordered by the old lady herself?
After all, Shen Xingwan was someone who had fought in a bloody shopping mall, so he quickly noticed something was wrong.
As expected, she is not her biological child, and even if she is about to leave, she has to take advantage of her at the end. This is fine, and she can take these banknotes and gifts with peace of mind.
The next day was the day when Shen Xingwan officially left the Houfu.
The old lady heard that she was ill last night and that Lord Hou had gone to court. Madam Hou was taking care of her own daughter Su Jingyi, and no one in the entire Hou family came out to see her off.
Instead, they all sent servants to give her a farewell gift. Shen Xingwan asked Banxia to take it and walked out of the Marquis Mansion without crying or making a fuss.
Finally, I looked back and saw the splendid Hou Mansion with its golden walls shining brightly in the morning sun.
Shen Xingwan touched the fat cat in his arms, turned around and walked away without any regrets.
"Miss, slow down." Ban Xia helped Shen Xingwan get into the carriage with difficulty.
Sitting inside was a girl who was dressed in plain blue clothes and a veil, only showing her delicate eyebrows. She was thin and looked to be only eleven or twelve years old.
She must be the clan sister that the old lady specially mentioned. Shen Xingwan immediately said hello sweetly, "Hello, sister."
"Cough cough cough." The woman immediately covered her chest with a handkerchief and coughed violently for a while before saying in a hoarse voice, "Hello sister, cough cough cough."
Frowning, she looks like a sickly beauty.
The maid next to her immediately stood up and bowed to Shen Xingwan and explained, "My dear, please forgive me, our young lady is not in good health, so we don't talk much."
Shen Xingwan waved his hands magnanimously, saying it didn't matter, and then sat down opposite the clan sister.
I woke up too early and didn't get enough sleep. I quickly fell asleep on Pinellia ternata.
The fat cat stepped on her leg dissatisfied: Let her fly for a few days first, and when she gets to Jiangnan, he will wave his little whip and urge her to fight!
The clan sister opposite her eyes flashed from the corner of her drooling mouth. After confirming that she was really asleep, she immediately straightened her back and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss, we've arrived at the pier, wake up quickly." Banxia called out softly.
Shen Xingwan rubbed the corners of his eyes, "Are you here?"
Raising his hand, he found that the sickly sister had already started to get out of the car. Shen Xingwan's eyes narrowed and he stood up.
She looked like she was sleepy and not awake. When she got off the carriage, she stepped on the air and rushed towards her like a sick beauty.
The sickly beauty seemed to have eyes behind her. She moved lightly and coquettishly to avoid Shen Xingwan.
Shen Xingwan had resigned himself to his fate and closed his eyes, preparing to have close contact with the earth, when he was quickly saved by someone holding up his collar.
Banxia jumped down immediately and nervously checked whether she was injured.
"Sister, are you okay?" The sick beauty finally said her second sentence today. Her voice didn't sound as soft and pleasant as that of ordinary girls, but had a cool flavor.
"Thank you, sister, for your teaching." Shen Xingwan looked at her with crooked eyebrows, "This maid of my sister is really smart."
"Really?" The sick beauty's eyes flashed across her face.
However, Shen Xingwan acted as if he didn't feel anything. He jumped up to her side and took her hand familiarly, "Sister, let's get on the boat quickly. This is my first time on a boat."
Her tone was excited and her face was full of expectations. She really looked like an innocent little girl who didn't know the facts.
The sick beauty was a little uncomfortable and wanted to withdraw her hand, but the little girl held it too tightly, so she was forced to follow the little girl's pace and get on the boat.
As soon as they got on the boat, a guard with a knife came up and saluted, "You two ladies, please go back to your cabins and sit down. We will set off immediately."
"Miss, follow me." An old nanny took the initiative to come up and guide Shen Xingwan.
As soon as Shen Xingwan let go, the sick beauty immediately withdrew her hand and followed the other nanny towards her room without looking back.
Fat Meow: "You scared others. Girls in ancient times were very quiet ladies. How could you be so frivolous?"
Shen Xingwan ignored her and followed her mother into the room. Only then did she realize that this ship looked low-key and simple on the outside, but the rooms inside were as luxurious and comfortable as the rooms in the Marquis Mansion.
Sure enough, there is a problem. She, a fake daughter who was kicked out of the house, deserves such a good boat. The Marquis is not so kind as to be so kind.
"Miss, the boat is so big, and there are so many people on it." Banxia walked in excitedly.
Then he diligently surrounded Shen Xingwan like a little bee, sometimes pouring her tea, sometimes worried that she was hungry.
"Okay, stop being busy. It's time for you to take a rest first." Shen Xingwan was so shaken by her that she felt dizzy.
Soon he felt the boat start to move. Shen Xingwan opened the window and looked at the water and became distracted.
Fat Meow jumped up to the window, "What are you planning?"
Shen Xingwan glanced at him and said profoundly, "There is a conspiracy!"
Fat Meow walked slowly and arrogantly around the window, "I believe you are a big-headed ghost."
