Mingshu turned to look at Fu Yunsheng, as if talking to him.
So Chen Fengxu also turned his head, with a gentle smile still on his face, and said to the two of them: "It's getting late, let's go back soon." Even so, his heart was already complicated and difficult to express.
Shen Baitang couldn't help but feel a little strange and asked, "What's wrong?"
Shen Fengxu just shook his head: "I'm a little tired and want to go back and have a rest."
"good."
By the time the three of them finished eating, the people downstairs had already left.
Chen Fengxu looked through the bright paper-painted window at the crowds of people outside the building, as if his thoughts were gradually disappearing with the crowds, and he didn't know where he had drifted.
Her feelings for Ming Shu are too complicated.
There is no doubt that Ming Shu is a noble son in the capital.
It's just that Ming Shu has a weak and cold temperament and doesn't care about anything. Although he is the prince of Ning, he never participates in the struggle for imperial power. He always stays out of it and lives a leisurely life.
During the years when Shen Fengxu was married to Ming Shu, the two always respected each other as guests.
Except for Shen Fengxu, Mingshu had never married a girl from another family, and there had never been any other concubines or concubines in the house. Others only said that their husband and wife were loving and harmonious, but others did not know that Mingshu had always treated Shen Fengxu with such indifference and indifference. And alienated.
As a result, Shen Fengxu once suspected that Ming Shu had Long Yang's good taste and his habit of cutting sleeves.
Until that night, Mingshu confided to Shen Fengxu that he actually did not want to marry, but Princess Ning repeatedly urged him, so he had no choice but to choose Shen Fengxu, who was independent of the world, from the list of concubines.
Indifferent to the world...?
Shen Fengxu only found it a little funny.
It turns out that this is her only advantage in Ming Shu's eyes.
But in this life, she is destined to not be indifferent to the world.
Come to think of it, I probably have no connection with Mingshu.
Just as he was thinking about this, he saw a pair of slender hands waving in his eyes, white and slender, with fingers like onion roots.
"Feng Xu, are you tired? Let's go back home right away." It was Shen Baitang's caring and gentle voice.
Chen Fengxu came back to his senses and hurriedly responded: "Okay."
The three of them got on the carriage and headed all the way back to Dong Ningbo's house.
Out of concern for Shen Fengxu, Shen Baitang sent Shen Fengxu all the way to the Rongxue Courtyard, and told Shen Fengxu to have a good rest before leaving the Rongxue Courtyard.
Just as he was about to leave, Shen Baitang's eyes were attracted by the maid beside him.
It's cinnabar.
I saw Cinsha standing quietly on one side, with his head slightly bowed. Although the person was here, he seemed to have disappeared quietly. If he didn't look specifically, no one would notice Cinsha.
Shen Baitang happened to notice it.
She said casually: "The flower has withered and doesn't look good, so you might as well pick it off."
After saying that, Shen Baitang walked out of Rongxueyuan.
Chensha watched Shen Baitang leave and raised her hand to touch her temples.
Those were the apricot blossoms that Chen Fengxu had tied on her temples yesterday, but now the petals have dried up, the color has faded, and they no longer have the same color as yesterday.
So she took off the withered apricot flowers from her temples and put them into the scented tassel, cherishing them very much.
When Cinsha walked into the bedroom, Cinsha was chatting with Chen Fengxu.
"Girl, do you know? The eldest lady has already found someone to take the blame." Dansha said with some dissatisfaction, "Not long ago, the eldest lady escorted a maid from Jinchun Court, saying that the maid was dissatisfied with the fourth girl. Just designed to frame the fourth girl."
"But that maid was clearly dragged out by the eldest lady to take the blame. Now she has been dealt with. I feel sorry for that maid. She worked beside the fourth girl and ended up like this in the end."
All this was within Shen Fengxu's expectation, so she was not in a hurry and just nodded slightly: "I understand."
"Girl!" Dan Sha stamped her feet anxiously, "How could they let this matter be revealed so easily!"
"Then what do you want?" Shen Fengxu glanced at her, "Do you want Shen Yuxiang to be sent to the family temple based on this incident? Or do you want the eldest lady to lose her position as mistress?"
Cinsha was speechless for a moment.
Of course it was impossible, but she didn't want to expose it so easily.
"Don't worry. Although they have not been punished in any real way, my grandmother has her own conclusion in her heart. She just doesn't want to publicize the matter. It is true that Shen Yuxiang murdered the sisters, but if word spreads, Yu Dongning's house will The reputation is not good either." Shen Fengxu had his own thoughts on this.
It is unrealistic to overthrow the eldest lady or Shen Yuxiang just overnight. Even if they make mistakes, they are still the masters of Dong Ningbo's house. Even if the old lady refuses to care about the old relationship, we still have to look at the eldest lady behind Yi Anbo. Mansion.
What's more, the old lady has not been disappointed with them yet.
At most, I hate that iron cannot become steel.
Chensha came forward with a cup of tea and said: "Girl."
Chen Fengxu took it, raised his eyes to look at Chensha, and suddenly asked: "Where is the person who is collecting the lotus?"
"Working in the woodshed." Chensha whispered softly, "Girl, you want me to keep an eye on her?"
Shen Fengxu waved his hand: "Don't worry too much, let's keep her for now, she will be useful later."
"My maid understands."
But Cinsha was a little confused: "What's the use of picking lotus? Girls like her don't even think about her."
Shen Fengxu just smiled and did not explain.
…
The next day, after saying hello, Chen Fengxu was about to get up and go to Xiangmei Courtyard.
But before they reached Xiangmei Courtyard, they saw the second lady scolding Aunt Su on the green path on one side.
The second lady stood under the shade of a tree, with a maid holding an armrest on one side, while Aunt Su was kneeling alone in the sun.
Shen Fengxu paused for a moment.
The second lady sneered and said, "You don't take my instructions to heart at all! Why do you, an aunt, come to Shen Yumin's yard so often? Having a biological mother like you is really a stain on Shen Yumin."
Aunt Su just lowered her head and straightened her back. She had the intention to retort, but in the end she could only swallow everything she said.
"Hmph! You have been in the mansion for seven years, and you still don't understand any of the rules! If others look at me and think I don't know how to take care of my servants, just kneel here until dark! From now on! There is no need to visit Shen Yumin anymore, lest I ruin my children!"
After saying that, the second lady held the servant's hand and walked away.
Aunt Su was kneeling alone on the hard gravel road, looking very miserable and pitiful.
Shen Fengxu sighed slightly.
In the high-level courtyard, there are differences between concubines and concubines. Even if the aunt is favored, she will always be subordinate to the main wife. What's more, the current aunt Su has long lost her favor, otherwise the second lady would not beat and scold her frequently.
Shen Fengxu suddenly remembered what Shen Yumin said to her before: "I miss my mother."
So Chen Fengxu turned his head and looked at Dansha and asked, "Can my second uncle be in the house today?"
Dansha thought for a moment: "I heard from the steward in the backyard that the second master seemed to have gone out early in the morning."
