After the unhappy dinner, everyone was thinking a lot, and even Shen Tang couldn't help but say a few words about Mr. Zhang.
"I know you haven't seen Jingyi for a long time. You shouldn't do too much in some things, otherwise it will chill the child's heart."
Mrs. Zhang was a little unconvinced, "I usually am not good enough to Xingwan?"
Shen Tang asked her, "Then does she usually treat you, a mother, badly?"
Naturally, he is good, capable and smart. If you encounter problems and have undecided matters, you can consult Shen Xingwan.
However, Mrs. Zhang occasionally felt that Shen Xingwan was too strong and unruly, and did not have the authority of a mother in front of her.
Zhang was speechless, "I know, I didn't do a good enough job this time."
Shen Xingwan had a good night's sleep, and started going out one after another the next day, inviting some of her close friends to go sightseeing, and giving them the gifts she had brought.
In Shen Xingwan's own village, a group of people came back from playing in a boat and were sitting in the study drinking tea.
The window is wide open, and outside is a cherry blossom tree in full bloom. The breeze blows, and the pink petals are floating down. It is so beautiful!
Shen Xingwan lay facelessly on the chair, a little drowsy. Such a sunny day was most suitable for sleeping.
Among the few people, Qi Zhiwei is the eldest. As the daughter of Yangzhou magistrate, she is sociable and attentive as her name suggests.
She was the first to notice that something was wrong with Shen Xingwan. She stood in front of the window and frowned at her, "Xingwan, you are upset."
When Du Mingyue heard this, she looked at Shen Xingwan with a look that made her look tired. She quickly asked with concern, "Is the trip to Yangzhou not going well?"
Facing the concerned expressions of his friends, Shen Xingwan reluctantly cheered up and shook his head, "It's just some family matters that make me a little frustrated."
Qi Zhiwei thought for a while and quickly figured out where the problem lay.
"Is that person back?"
"Who?" Mu Baozhen, the most innocent and innocent person, asked with blinking eyes.
Shen Xingwan pondered for a moment and drank all the tea in the cup. "It's not her problem. I just think it's too difficult to change my sincerity, so I feel a little tired."
Shen Xingwan has never been a good person. In her previous life, she defeated her stepmother, step-sister, and all the money wolves who were eyeing her family property.
Yizhao's soul came through. In the past few years, she had done her best for the Shen family and played the role of daughter and sister with all her heart.
She was disappointed with what happened recently. She didn't know whether to say that the plot was powerful or that people's hearts were unpredictable.
Every family has its own sutras that are difficult to recite. Shen Xingwan's situation was also special. He was as smart as Qi Zhiwei, and he didn't know how to persuade her for a while.
Du Mingyue said angrily, "No way, after all, you are also my biological daughter."
"They probably think it's been difficult for Su Jingyi these past few years." Shen Xingwan smiled bitterly.
"Has it been easy for you these past few years? From the young lady of the Hou Mansion to the repressed Shen family's second room, living in thatched hut, everything has to start over again!" Du Mingyue had a bad temper, and she instantly felt worthless for Shen Xingwan.
Qi Ruwei comforted her softly, "She won't be able to stay here for long. She will leave in a month at most. How about this? My mother will take me to the village in two days. I will ask my mother to send a message to invite you to go?" "
Shen Xingwan thought about it for a while, Su Jingyi would go back to Shen's house from time to time and show off the deep family affection.
Her eyes really hurt from looking at her, so she might as well avoid it.
"Okay, I'll help you then."
"It's okay, my mother likes you very much anyway."
Shen Xingwan stood up and stretched, "Let's not talk about these annoying things. It's a rare occasion for us to come out and have fun."
Several girls and their maids had a barbecue and a wine shop, and they continued to have fun until dusk came, and then they went back home on their own roads.
Shen Xingwan stood in the yard and listened to the sounds of play coming from the main room for a while.
He took Banxia directly back to the room, "Let's wash up and go to sleep."
The next day, the message from the prefect's wife arrived as promised.
Shen Xingwan said hello and left with his packed luggage.
Mrs. Zhang didn't think much about it, she was still thinking about Su Jingyi saying that she would accompany her to offer incense and ask Bodhisattva to protect Shen Yu High School.
No one seemed to care about Shen Xingwan's disappearance.
For three consecutive nights, there was no Shen Xingwan at the dinner table.
Shen Tangcai asked, "Did Xingwan say when he would be back?"
Zhang’s hand holding the chopsticks paused, “I don’t know.”
"Why didn't you ask about clearing it?" Shen Tang complained a little.
"She always has ideas, and she goes out with the prefect's wife. What's the problem?" Mrs. Zhang raised her voice and said confidently.
Shen Tang was a little uncomfortable. He always felt that something was wrong. Now that he thought about it carefully, this daughter seemed to be getting more and more alienated from them these days.
This made Shen Tang a little irritable and he didn't know how to deal with it.
Shen Xingwan came back after playing for several days. The yard was quiet.
The woman who was doing chores saw her coming back and came over to say hello to her, "Miss is back."
"Where is my mother?" Shen Xingwan asked casually.
"I went to the temple with Miss Jingyi to offer incense," the mother-in-law said.
Shen Yu heard her voice and walked out of the study, "Why did you come back after playing for so long?"
"How long? I'm fine anyway, it's okay to play for a few more days." Shen Xingwan said.
Shen Yu stood there looking a little lighter. Sure enough, reading is a tiring thing.
"What would you like to eat tonight, young lady?" The old woman took the opportunity to ask about the dinner menu.
Shen Yu said without interest, "Just do whatever you want, just keep it light."
"The young master's appetite is not very good today, and his food intake has decreased a lot." The mother-in-law said at the side.
Shen Yu did not deny it. Shen Xingwan listened silently and said to his mother-in-law, "I want to drink porridge tonight."
Then she went back to her room. Shen Yu looked at her back, feeling a little disappointed.
Shen Xingwan has always been very caring about him, and he even eats in a variety of ways.
Why didn't you ask a word just now? Are you really angry?
Shen Yu thought for a moment and followed decisively.
"Miss, the eldest young master is here." Banxia said softly.
Shen Xingwan turned around and looked at him with a faint gaze. He was a young man who had grown into a mandarin orchid.
He is her brother, the number one scholar who will be famous all over the world in the future, the person in charge of the second room of the Shen family, and one of Su Jingyi's biggest helpers.
Shen Yu always felt that Shen Xingwan's eyes on her were a little cold.
But Shen Xingwan really thought about it again at this time. She worked hard to let him go to the best academy in Jiangnan, made him worry-free financially, and always took good care of him in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
If it is destined to be the enemy for the heroine in the future? It is better to destroy it.
She, Shen Xingwan, has never been a good person...
"Sister, are you angry?" Shen Yu asked bluntly.
"What?"
"Are you angry because of Jingyi's return?"
Shen Xingwan's eyes burst into laughter, "I'm not angry, there's nothing to be angry about."
"Then why are you estranged from your family?" Shen Yu obviously didn't believe it.
"Really? I just don't want to disturb her rare reunion time with you." Shen Xingwan said calmly.
