Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 174 Contradictions (3)

Wu Ma took a step forward, stretched out her hand to rub her arm, and said softly: "It's still early. The old lady said that dinner will be brought over. If the lady is not awake, just lie down for a while, and wait for the uncle to return. Dinner."

Shen Yuechen shook her head slightly: "If you sleep again, you won't be able to sleep at night."

After Wu Ma heard this, she softly called Cui Xin to bring in water, but seeing her mouth was bulging, as if she was stealing something, she couldn't help scolding softly: "You girl, Miss hasn't eaten yet, why don't you eat it first?" Eat it."

Cui Xin blushed, shook her head hurriedly, and said falteringly: "I don't have any servants, it's all forced by Mrs. Zhang."

Shen Yuechen smiled: "Okay, okay, eat as soon as you eat, chew slowly, don't choke."

Wu Ma said helplessly: "Miss is just too spoiled with her, and always treats her like a child."

Shen Yuechen patted the back of her hand, half-jokingly said: "She's just a child!"

Wu Ma had nothing to do with her, she just turned around and nodded Cui Xin's forehead, and said angrily: "Don't think that if the young lady protects you, you will be fine, look back and see how I punished you like this."

Hearing this, Cui Xin shrank her shoulders and made a grimace.

Shen Yuechen also laughed, pinched her waist like a scholar Wu Ma, and said, "See how I will punish you later?"

She couldn't understand Mama Wu's temperament best.She said so, but she was also a hard-spoken and soft-hearted person. When she said punishment, she just punished Cuixin to do some needlework and practice her needlework.

After Shen Yuechen cleaned up, she called Wu Ma to her and asked, "Did Aunt Cao and the others come over to say hello during my rest period?"

Wu Ma nodded, she knew she had thought of this earlier.

"The three aunts came here together, but when they saw you and the uncle resting, they all went back."

Shen Yuechen pondered for a while and said: "Although it's delayed, it's better to see you."

Wu Ma said, "Then I'll send someone to invite you."

Shen Yuechen nodded, and ordered: "Let Cui Xin prepare some refreshments and fruits."

Mama Wu responded and left, and Aunt Cao and the others also arrived together.

I haven't seen her for a few months, but Cao's figure is slightly plump, her face is also ruddy, and she looks refreshed and energetic.Just by looking like this, she looks younger than Wang Shi and the others.

Cao's mood was very excited, first she saluted, and then went straight to Shen Yuechen, quickly looked her up and down, with tears in her eyes, tremblingly said: "Grandma, you can be regarded as I'm back! The concubine is at home, she's been struggling with her heart, she can't eat or sleep every day."

When Shen Yuechen heard this, the smile on his face paused slightly.

Can't eat, can't sleep... This is a bit far-fetched.

Mrs. Cao has always been eager to show off, but this time she really went too far.

Shen Yuechen said lightly: "I made you worry, how are you all doing this time? How is sister Ying?"

Cao Shi didn't bring Zhu Ying along, which surprised Shen Yuechen.

Seeing that she was still thinking about Zhu Ying, Mrs. Cao's smile deepened, "Please worry about it, grandma, sister Ying is fine now. But these two days, the child has caught a cold, so the concubine didn't bring her here , I’m afraid I’ll make Grandma feel ill.”

Shen Yuechen said concerned: "Sister Ying's body has always been very good, why did she catch a cold? Later, you should bring her to me to have a look. There are not so many taboos for children."

Cao Shi nodded, pretending to be happy, but her expression was not happy, at least not as happy as she wanted to express.

What happened to Shen Yuechen in the capital was a well-known secret in the Zhu family.Although no one dared to talk too much in front of people, everyone was talking about it behind their backs.And Cao's is naturally inevitable, and he is also one of them.

When hearing about Shen Yuechen's accident, Cao's first reaction was not panic, but surprise.Although even she felt a little surprised, the joy in her heart was still heavy in her heart.

In all fairness, what she yearns for is actually similar to that of the Qin family and the Sun family, and what she yearns for is also the same.

As a concubine, she will be crushed by the main family for the rest of her life, and even her own flesh and blood will be handed over to her... Cao Shi cursed Shen Yuechen more than once, but unfortunately, she is as hard-fated as the old lady said, Not only did he not die, but he returned safely.

Although Cao's heart felt lost, she was not unwilling.

She died, and she was happy.If she doesn't die, she has nothing to lose. After all, she has always treated Sister Ying well, almost treating her as her own.

Shen Yuechen was originally a very careful person, but when she saw Cao Shi's eyes were different, she suddenly became concerned.

It seems that they haven't seen each other in just a few months, and their minds have already become restless. Even their eyes have changed. They are no longer respectful as before, and they are a little more probing and questioning.

Shen Yuechen slowly put away her smile, thinking, they must have been secretly looking forward to it, right?I hope that she will suffer the same fate as the Qin family, and be overcome by Zhu Jintang's fate!
Times have changed, people's minds have changed, and everything seems to have to be straightened out.

Both Zhu Ying and Zhu Xiao were concubines, and they were originally raised by Shen Yuechen's side, but when she was not at home, the two children were taken care of by their aunts.

Mrs. Cao is Zhu Ying's biological mother, so there is nothing wrong with taking care of her basic necessities of life.However, Zhu Xiao's biological mother, Mrs. Sun, is now insane and delirious. Not to mention taking care of the children, she even has problems dressing and eating herself.

Zhu Ying is already four years old, but Zhu Xiao is not yet one year old, just the age that needs to be taken care of.

Both the Liu family and the Wang family were young and had never had children, so the Li family was very worried, and only handed Zhu Xiao to her personal nurse, Zhao Nai, to take care of her personally.

Shen Yuechen has always been thinking about the children, so before dinner, he ordered Chun Ming to bring Zhu Ying over, and asked Cui Xin to go to the main courtyard, and told Madam Zhao to bring Yaya over as well.

Because of catching a cold, Zhu Ying was brought here wrapped in a small quilt.The pink quilt and pink face made her look even more adorable.

Shen Yuechen stretched out his hands to hug her, but Zhu Ying was startled for a moment, then instinctively stretched out a small hand from under the quilt, and called her mother in a low voice.

From the servant girl to Shen Yuechen's arms, it only took a moment, Zhu Ying sat firmly on Shen Yuechen's lap, raised her head and looked at her face carefully.

Shen Yuechen patted her head, and then pressed her small face against her, smelling the milky scent on her body, he was very relieved.

Although I have suffered a lot during this period, everything is fine for them, all of them are safe and healthy.

Mrs. Cao sat next to her and drank tea. When she saw their affectionate appearance, she felt bitter and sweet in her heart.

Afterwards, Zhu Xiao was also carried by the mother-in-law.She was still sleeping just now, but now she woke up suddenly, looked around with her big black eyes, and suddenly cried uncomfortably.

The mother-in-law who was holding her was taken aback, and quickly patted and coaxed her.

Zhu Xiao was congenitally deficient, and even the voice of crying was weak, sounding like a kitten.

Zhu Ying was considerate, seeing her younger sister crying so much, she quickly got off Shen Yuechen's body, ran up to the woman, waved to her, and said, "Let me see my little sister."

Hearing the words, the old lady was taken aback for a moment, then squatted down, looked at Zhu Ying and said, "Miss, what's your order?"

Unexpectedly, Zhu Ying just gently held Zhu Xiao's little hand, kissed it, and said softly, "Sister, be good, don't cry, don't cry."

Strange to say, after hearing what she said, Zhu Xiao cried and cried, then slowly calmed down, only blinked, looked at Zhu Ying, and did not let go of her fingers.

Seeing the two children getting close, Shen Yuechen felt relieved.

Children are the most innocent, they like it when they like it, and they are close to each other if they like it, unlike adults, who are always full of so many tricks and schemes.

After a while, Zhu Jintang came back from the upper room.However, to his surprise, his face was slightly ugly, as if he was sulking.

Shen Yuechen saw that his expression was different, Cao and the others hadn't seen Zhu Jintang for several months, everyone couldn't help being a little excited and happy to meet him, and hurriedly lined up to greet him.

Seeing that they were all there, Zhu Jintang relaxed a little, and said, "You are all here."

Cao's eyes kept turning around Zhu Jintang's body. Seeing him bowing his head to talk to Zhu Ying, he quickly stepped forward and hugged Zhu Ying, wanting to take the opportunity to attract his attention.

However, Zhu Jintang obviously cared more about Zhu Ying, seeing her tilting her head and smiling at him, he clapped his hands, wanting to hug her personally.

"Come on, let me see, have you gained weight?"

Mrs. Cao was overjoyed when she heard the words. Since Zhu Ying was born, the number of times he has held the child is very small, at most two or three times...Zhu Ying is very well-behaved. Hold his neck, quietly do not speak.

Zhu Jintang hugged her and walked two steps before he nodded and said, "Well...it's much heavier than before."

Mrs. Cao then smiled and said: "Children grow up the fastest, and they grow up in the blink of an eye. Grandpa is tired of being careful."

Zhu Jintang shook his head slightly, and said lightly: "I'm not tired, you all sit down and talk, don't stand still, it's strange."

After he finished speaking, he hugged Zhu Ying and sat beside Shen Yuechen, seeing her looking at him with a smile.

"I haven't seen you for a few months, and the children have grown up."

Zhu Jintang smiled lightly when he heard the words, and then, holding up Zhu Ying's small face for a closer look, he suddenly felt that her eyebrows and eyes were very similar to his own.

It is said that his daughter looks like his father, which makes sense... In the past, he rarely looked at the child so carefully.

Cao Shi sat aside and watched, feeling very surprised.

The Zhu Jintang in front of her seemed to be the same person, but she always felt that something was different about him.

He never smiled, was rarely close to children, and was rarely... as easy-going as he is now.

I don't know if it's been a long time since I saw him, or he has really changed.Cao's heart froze for a moment, only feeling a little surprised, a little surprised.

She has been married to Zhu Jintang for many years, and she has long been used to his cold and indifferent appearance, but now it makes her feel a little uncomfortable.

He is so easy-going, certainly not because of Zhu Ying, nor because of Zhu Xiao.No need to think too much, except for a few elders in the Zhu family, the only person who can make him change like this is Shen Yuechen.

Although she didn't want to admit it, she could clearly see Zhu Jintang's kindness to Shen Yuechen and kept it in her heart.In the past, when he treated the Qin family at his best, he was no more than that, but now, it has gone beyond that.
