Chen Fengxu saluted, and then raised his eyes to look at the eldest lady, with an inquiring look in her eyes. However, the eldest lady's expression did not change, and she could not give any clues. Shen Fengxu had no choice but to give up, get up and go back to the courtyard. Go inside.
After Shen Fengxu left, Shen Yanning rubbed his eyebrows with a headache, then turned to look at the eldest lady and said, "You should go back too."
But the eldest lady stepped forward gently and considerately, held Shen Yanning's shoulders, and whispered softly: "Master, you are tired today, so you should take a good rest first."
Shen Yanning responded softly.
Chen Fengxu had already returned to Rongxue Courtyard, thinking that he would go to the academy early tomorrow morning, so he had a good rest early.
…
The next day, it was already bright.
After Chen Fengxu finished dressing up, she took the cinnabar and went out.
Since he was going to the academy with the eldest lady, Shen Fengxu had to go to the eldest lady's Chunfang Courtyard first, and then go with the eldest lady.
Just as she walked to the door of Chunfang Courtyard, a maid came and said apologetically to Chen Fengxu: "Girl, the master stayed in Chunfang Courtyard last night. It is inconvenient for me to go in, so please go into the side courtyard with me." Wait a moment here."
Shen Yanning actually stayed in the eldest lady’s yard?
"Okay." Hearing this, Chen Fengxu couldn't help but smile, "Then I'll wait."
The eldest lady is really resourceful. Due to various things, Shen Yanning has rarely set foot in Chunfang Courtyard. She only went to Chunfang Courtyard to handle the general affairs of the mansion, but she stayed in Chunfang Courtyard last night.
However, Shen Fengxu also knew that Shen Yanning had always been ruthless, not only towards his children but also towards his wives and concubines. He would dote on them, but he had never been affectionate.
The maid led Shen Fengxu into the side courtyard, and Shen Fengxu could only wait in boredom.
Because the maid from Chunfangyuan was waiting in the house, Shen Fengxu and Dansha did not talk to each other, and the air was quiet and depressing.
But after waiting for a long time, there was still no movement in the courtyard, and Shen Yanning was not seen leaving. The eldest lady's bedroom was also silent.
Seeing the white clouds changing in the sky, even the cup of tea in my hand had gone cold.
Chen Fengxu finally put the tea cup heavily on the table and said, "Father hasn't left yet?"
There is a bit of coldness in the ending.
The maid was suddenly frightened.
Shen Fengxu has always been gentle and calm, speaking softly, but it is really surprising that he has never behaved like this.
But after a moment's hesitation, the maid immediately said: "The master has left early today, but the eldest lady is a little tired and wants to rest for a while."
It turns out that Shen Yanning left Chunfangyuan early in the morning.
Then what was she waiting for?
A sneer appeared on Chen Fengxu's lips: "Oh? Then tell your mother that I will go to the academy first."
The eldest lady was trying to intimidate her, but Shen Fengxu didn't take this trick. It was a good thing that the eldest lady didn't go, so she went to the academy by herself.
The maid suddenly panicked: "Miss, wait a moment, the eldest lady is just taking a short break."
Shen Fengxu had already stood up and said in a calm tone: "Let mother rest. The principal in the academy must be waiting for me. There is no reason for the principal to wait for the students."
With that said, Chen Fengxu walked away.
Since the eldest lady wants to rest, she should rest. She doesn't have the patience to wait for the eldest lady in the room.
"Girl, wait—"
The maid tried to stop him, but Chen Fengxu went out without looking back.
But just when Shen Fengxu was about to leave Chunfang Courtyard, Hongqu, who was beside the eldest lady, walked over quickly and called out: "Miss Six!"
But Chen Fengxu turned a deaf ear to it. Hongqu couldn't help but frown secretly. He trotted up to Chen Fengxu, bowed first, and then said: "Girl, the eldest lady has already gotten up. You can follow my maid."
Before Shen Fengxu could speak, Dansha had already spoken first: "Since you're already so tired, Madam, why don't you just take a good rest. I'll go with the girl."
Hongqu didn't even look at Cinsha, but looked at Shen Fengxu: "Girl, after all, it is the eldest lady's order. If you don't go, others will say that you don't keep your filial piety. I guess girl doesn't want this either."
Every word threatened her.
Filial piety is the most important thing in the Great Luo Dynasty, and the eldest lady is Shen Fengxu's aunt, so the word "filial piety" is as heavy as a thousand catties, and it can naturally make people breathless.
So Chen Fengxu said: "Let's go then, I'll go and pay my respects to my mother." She also wanted to see what kind of monster the eldest lady was trying to be.
Hongqu sneered secretly.
No matter how scheming the sixth girl is, she is just a girl who has not yet left the palace. As the mistress of the Dongning House and the aunt of Chen Fengxu, the eldest lady wants to take care of the daughter under her knees. Isn't that just a matter of discretion?
Hongqu led Shen Fengxu into the eldest lady's bedroom.
At this time, the eldest lady was sitting in front of the dressing mirror. She was only wearing a thin middle coat, with her long hair flowing down like a waterfall. There was no makeup on her face. There was a little girl beside her who was combing the eldest lady's long hair. .
After sending Shen Fengxu to the bedroom, Hongqu blessed her body and said, "My maid is going to get clothes for Madam. Please ask the girl to go in first."
After that, Hongqu walked away, leaving only Chen Fengxu and cinnabar.
After hearing this, the eldest lady turned her head and glanced at Chen Fengxu, then smiled and said: "I feel unwell today, but I have made you wait for a long time."
"It's natural for a daughter to wait for her mother." Shen Fengxu also smiled.
It seems that the mother and daughter are very warm and harmonious.
"You should sit down first. After I wash up and change clothes, I will go to the academy."
"yes."
Chen Fengxu sat aside and watched the maid dressing the eldest lady.
But for some reason, the eldest lady suddenly grunted in pain, then turned her head and glared at the maid beside her: "How do you comb your hair? Can't you even do this well?"
The maid hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy again and again, saying: "I know my mistake! I know my mistake! My maid did it unintentionally. I didn't mean to hurt my wife. I owe you my forgiveness!"
"Get out!" the eldest lady said coldly.
The maid hurriedly rolled and crawled out of the bedroom.
Shen Fengxu saw it, but remained silent from beginning to end.
The eldest lady turned to look at Shen Fengxu, her face returned to her usual dignified and gentle smile, and said: "Fengxu, why don't you come and dress up for mother."
The eldest lady is her mother, and it is natural for Shen Fengxu to serve her, with no reason to refuse.
But Chen Fengxu had a look of embarrassment on his face: "Fengxu doesn't know these things, what should I do if I hurt my mother?"
"It doesn't matter. In my heart, you have always been treated as my own. It's just that you are never close to your mother, and I don't feel good about it." The eldest lady stretched out her hand towards Chen Fengxu, with a smile on her face, but deep in her eyes. There was silence.
Chen Fengxu frowned slightly, but immediately smiled and stepped forward to hold the eldest lady's hand.
