In the next two days, Shen Xingwan continued to recover from illness and Banxia went out frequently, but Qinghong stayed with her every step of the way.
And the little girls who came dressed up with hope began to leave the Shen family's house one by one.
After dinner that day, Shen Tang finally said to her, tired of his travels, "Xingwan, please clean up. We will leave Yangzhou tomorrow."
"I know, Dad." Shen Xingwan said with a smile.
However, Qinghong was a little reluctant to leave. Once Shen Xingwan left, she would have to go back to her old days.
The next day, it started to rain.
Immediately waiting outside, Shen Xingwan refused Banxia, held up a beautiful oil-paper umbrella, held up the hem of her skirt and walked calmly in the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River.
Shen Qijiu leaned against the door and watched him walking slowly. He curled up his lips and said, "Oh, that's a pity. I didn't expect him to be useless."
Before Shen Xingwan came over, he got on his horse and walked away coolly. This kind of weather is perfect for going out drinking with friends!
"Miss, let's go." Banxia put away her things and opened the carriage curtain.
Shen Xingwan looked back and saw the Shen family's house standing in the drizzle.
"This is for you. Thank you for taking care of me these days." Shen Xingwan handed Qinghong a purse.
Qinghong took it and saluted Shen Xingwan, "I wish you a safe journey, Miss."
Shen Xingwan got on the carriage without any nostalgia. She had already begun to miss her little home in Jiangling.
Two days later, in the dusk, the carriage stopped at the door of the house.
Shen Xingwan breathed a sigh of relief. She had not recovered yet, and after two days of traveling, she inevitably felt sleepy.
"We're home, Miss, you can have a good rest." Banxia said happily.
"Yeah." Shen Xingwan had a smile on his face.
The master and servant got off the carriage quickly. Shen Tang glanced at the open door and pushed it open directly.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard laughter like silver bells. Shen Xingwan was not worried, thinking that it was a girl from a nearby neighbor who came to play.
Shen Xiaoguo was the first to hear the noise and rushed out, "Dad, sister, you are back!"
"I'm back and I brought you a gift." Shen Xingwan said with a smile.
Shen Xiaoguo was very happy at first, then scratched his head with an embarrassed expression on his face.
As Shen Xingwan walked towards the courtyard, he asked casually, "Who is inside?"
"Hehehe, my sister will know when she goes in." Shen Xiaoguo whispered.
Shen Tang had already walked in first, "I'm back."
"Dad! You are home..."
A clear female voice sounded, and Shen Xingwan walked in with a normal expression without even pausing.
There were a lot of delicious food on the table in the yard, and a girl about her age was holding Ms. Zhang's arm intimately.
"Jingyi?" Shen Tang's voice sounded in disbelief.
Su Jingyi's eyes immediately turned red, "Dad, I miss you so much. Do you miss your daughter?"
"I'll go!" Fat Meow jumped into Shen Xingwan's arms, "Why is she here?"
Shen Xingwan slapped Fat Meow hard, "How do I know..."
What a big surprise was waiting for her, Shen Xingwan started to wander.
Shen Tang looked at the graceful Su Jingyi who had come and gone, and felt filled with emotion in his heart.
"Jingyi thought she would never see you again, and she didn't know when you would come back."
"Fortunately, I didn't miss daddy..."
The three people over there were talking beautifully, as if they had forgotten that there was another person in the yard who was also their daughter.
"Is this the heroine's halo?" Shen Xingwan said in a cool voice.
Fat Meow carefully broke away from her clutches, "Why do I think you are angry?"
"As for that, I just think it's a bit boring."
Fat Meow shook his tail, "Kill her when you're angry?"
"Then you can see my body tomorrow. I am now the daughter of the Marquis." Shen Xingwan remained unmoved.
Shen Xingwan beat her waist, feeling a little tired. She turned around and took Banxia back to her room. No one was paying attention to her now anyway.
The three of them talked excitedly for a while before Shen Tang remembered something and quickly turned around, "Wanwan, you..."
As a result, there was no one in the yard, and Shen Tang's expression suddenly changed.
Mrs. Zhang also belatedly realized something was wrong, and asked anxiously, "Where is Wanwan?"
Shen Xiaoguo said from the side, "My sister has gone back."
Ms. Zhang said to Su Jingyi with some embarrassment, "This kid doesn't even say hello."
Su Jingyi said considerately, "Sister, maybe she is too tired."
"Jingyi, please stay for dinner tonight. Mom will cook what you like." Ms. Zhang said happily, thinking that now the family is in order and they can have a reunion dinner together.
"Okay." Su Jingyi said with a crooked smile, "Mother's cooking is the best."
On Shen Xingwan's side, when he returned to the room, he immediately asked Banxia and the woman who helped on the stove to bring water and took a good bath.
In the quiet room, cheerful laughter could be clearly heard from the kitchen. Banxia was a little angry, "How could she do this?"
Shen Xingwan didn't seem to care, "She has been their daughter for eight years, which is longer than me."
And after she came back, she knew to some extent how much energy the Shen and Tang couples spent on their only sick daughter. Even in the most difficult days, they were not willing to treat Su Jingyi badly.
No matter from the perspective of emotions or sunk costs, it is normal for them to not let go of Su Jing.
"Aren't you angry, miss?" Banxia asked cautiously.
"Angry..." Shen Xingwan stretched, "Probably a little bit."
Just as he was talking, he remembered the knock on the door.
"Sister, Mom has asked you to come out for dinner!" Shen Xiaoguo's loud voice rang out.
"knew."
Shen Xingwan responded, put on a set of clean clothes, asked Banxia to thin her hair again, and then walked to the dining room.
There was already a large table of dishes on the table. Su Jingyi and Mrs. Zhang carried a plate of dishes from the kitchen without any pretense at all, and followed them out chatting and laughing.
Shen Yu also put down his book and came from the study.
"Brother, mother made a lot of delicious food today." Su Jingyi greeted, "You have been reading all day, sit down quickly."
Well, it's probably not Su Jingyi's first time here, she looks so familiar.
Shen Xingwan thought, had her home been stolen?
Shen Yu glanced at Shen Xingwan who was standing aside and said warmly, "It's time for dinner." He took the initiative to pat the place next to him.
Shen Xingwan said oh and sat down next to her and picked up the chopsticks.
Mrs. Zhang was particularly happy and took out a small beautiful wine bottle. While pouring the wine, she said to Su Jingyi, "This green plum wine is not intoxicating at all and tastes very good. Everyone is here tonight, let's have a drink together." .”
"Okay." Su Jingyi responded with a smile, looking innocent and innocent. She was almost completely different from the pale and thin girl when she first returned to the Hou Mansion.
