Aunt Shen drank half of the soup and suddenly thought of Master Hao, so she asked Xiao Ju softly, "Xiao Ju, is the master still in the study?"
Xiao Ju looked up at Aunt Shen timidly. There was undisguised sympathy and pity in her eyes, but she couldn't say a word. She has been serving with Aunt Shen for so many years. No matter what Aunt Shen treats her, is Aunt Shen her master? Is there any reason not to worry about her master as a slave?
If you don't answer, there is another place to go.
Aunt Shen's action of scooping soup in her hand suddenly stagnated, and she no longer had the appetite to drink soup. How could she not know what Xiao Ju's silence meant?
Pang...
The spoon and the soup bowl hit the ground, and the soup splashed everywhere.
Mother Shen was shocked and stared at Xiao Ju angrily. She hurriedly and anxiously stepped forward to hold Aunt Shen's body and said anxiously, "Madam, be careful. Your body is important. Don't be angry."
Aunt Shen half leaned in Shen's mother's arms, her eyes were slightly closed, and she cried silently.
She worked hard for half of her life. Did she get this kind of end? She is unwilling!
Even if the old lady intervened in the affairs of the inner courtyard of the back house, she has regressed. She agreed that the master was in her room with Wan Niang, and also agreed that Wan Niang would manage the affairs of the inner court. Why did they still take an inch? Today, the master should have come to her room.
Isn't she old? Isn't it that she no longer has Wan Niang to attract the master?
Thinking of this, Aunt Shen suddenly sat up straight and stretched out her right hand to Xiao Ju, who was still a little flustered, anxiously, "Xiao Ju, bring me a mirror quickly."
Xiao Ju didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly took the bronze mirror on the dressing table.
Aunt Shen pulled the bronze mirror to her hand and carefully shone on her face. The candlelight was dim. The appearance of the person in the mirror was not very clear and blurred, but she could still faintly see that it was a beautiful woman, with apricot-like eyes, a tall nose bridge, a cherry-like mouth, and a goose egg-shaped face. Unfortunately, the years are fair to anyone, and the same is true for Aunt Shen.
The touching beauty has been slowly fading in the long river of time, and it is no longer beautiful as before.
Aunt Shen held the bronze mirror tremblingly and whispered, "Give me more candles."
Shen's mother and Xiao Ju met. The two of them acted together and soon lit more than a dozen candles beside the couch. The dormitory suddenly became brightly lit, like a sunny day.
Aunt Shen trembled her hands and stroked her cheeks. The flawless beauty in the mirror had already turned into a half-old Xu Niang. Although the charm still existed, she did not change her old state.
"Are I old?" Aunt Shen muttered.
Shen's mother was sad when she heard this and hurriedly replied, "I'm not old. Madam is not old at all. She is still as beautiful as before. She is also one of the best beauties in Taihe County."
Beauty?
"Ha ha ha..." Aunt Shen suddenly smashed the bronze mirror in her hand on the ground and sneered.
Stop it! Who in this world is not old? Even if Wan Niang is spoiled now, so what? More than ten years ago, she couldn't beat her. Didn't she think that if she walked around the capital, she could beat her Shen Xiu?
Humph! What a naive!
Shen's mother and Xiao Ju were shocked by the loud sound of the bronze mirror hitting the ground. The two had not recovered. Aunt Shen's face was already indifferent, as if nothing had happened. It seemed that the desperate aunt Shen just now was just an illusion.
Xiaoju didn't have Shen's mother to stay with Aunt Shen for a long time. She was shocked by her inexplicable change. She thought about Aunt Shen's temper was not very good, and she didn't dare to say anything at the moment.
Mother Shen is very happy in her heart. Right, her young lady should be like this. No one is afraid. She is not afraid of anything. The soldiers come to block the water and cover the earth. Just deal with it. What is there to retreat and what is there to let?
Besides, the young lady and the second young master are the backers of the second young lady. Even if something is wrong, what can the old master and the old lady do with her?
Mother Shen squatted on the ground with a faint smile and picked up the bronze mirror, and ordered Xiao Ju to clean up the ground.
The next morning, when Aunt Shen went to ask the old lady, Wan Niang was naturally still waiting by the old lady's side.
Last night, according to the rules, Mr. Hao should have been in Aunt Shen's room. However, Mrs. Wan was sick and was very uncomfortable. The old lady felt sorry for Mrs. Wan, so she sent someone to call Mr. Hao to Mrs. Wan's room.
How can Mr. Hao, a big man, think as delicate as a woman? Although he knew that Aunt Shen was a jealous jar, he thought about it in private that Wan Niang was sick. As a husband, he should accompany him, right? After all, he rarely sees Wan Niang on weekdays, and he has always done filial piety in front of the old lady on his behalf. He is still very grateful to Wan Niang for this.
Therefore, Master Hao didn't think much about it and stayed in Wan Niang's room that night.
Master Hao just did it casually, but he didn't know how much stimulation this matter was for Aunt Shen.
After so many years, Aunt Shen has been old. How can she still love to fight like when she was young? On the other side, she doesn't like to fight with others, but it doesn't mean that others don't like to fight with her. In this case, what's the matter of fighting?
Aunt Shen changed her previous disdain for Wan Niang. After greeting the old lady, she greeted Wan Niang politely.
"Wanniang, I heard that you were sick yesterday. How do you feel now?" Aunt Shen looked at Wan Niang with a smile.
Wan Niang especially remembers Aunt Shen more than ten years ago in her heart. She always remembers how enthusiastic and black-hearted she was. This time, when she saw her repeating old skills, she added 120 precautions in her heart. She nodded cautiously and said lightly, "Thank you for your concern. Yesterday, a master greeted my concubine for a night, and now It's much better."
Aunt Shen didn't show any anger on her face. She nodded with a faint smile and said, "That's good. I heard that my sister was sick before, and I was worried that my sister could not deal with the affairs of the house today. I was about to ask my sister if she wanted to help."
When Wan Niang heard Aunt Shen's words, she secretly sneered and said secretly: It turns out that Shen Xiu's plan is here. It seems that she can't wait for her to be sick so that she can regain the power of the family.
"I'm worried that it's not easy for my sister to do what the concubine should do. My sister's body is not as good as before. Wasn't she just right the other day? How can my concubine bother my sister again? As long as my sister is well-bodied, it will be the blessing of the family. Wan Niang said with a very attentive smile.
The old lady was naturally happy to see that the two were talking and laughing. She thought that it was her arrangement that finally softened Aunt Shen. Anyway, Aunt Shen at least added a son and a daughter to Hao Mansion. As an elder, she will not treat Aunt Shen badly. It's just for her to recognize the current situation.
She, the old lady, is the real head of this house!
