Chapter 23 The Storm Rises
Mrs. Wen was pulled back by the maid next to her, and she sat back down still crying quietly.
Mrs. Wen said distressedly: "Don't cry. I just told you about the matter. My son-in-law didn't come. I just want his help. Do you still take the initiative to go to him for such a thing?"
Wen didn't say anything. She was both angry with her parents for indulging her eldest brother, and also angry with them for bothering Shen Zhongwen about such a thing. She heard her mother continue: "It's okay that the son-in-law didn't come, maybe your father will find someone else to find a solution!"
Only then did she look up and saw that her mother's hair was gray and she was already old. She couldn't bear it. She wiped her tears and softened her tone and said, "If you have made up your mind to redeem that female singer, what will happen?"
I also need to inform my sister-in-law. Are you planning to take me back so that she has to accept it?"
"If I told her earlier, it would just make her sulky for two more days. What's the use?"
After all, Mrs. Wen was looking after her son. She never thought that Wen Liang had done anything wrong. She was worried that if she told Mrs. Zhong first, she would cause trouble and make her son's face look bad, so she would cover up her son's face instead.
Mrs. Wen was a little uncomfortable at first because Shen Zhongwen could not come, but now she is very happy.
But it was really not appropriate to hide this matter from Zhong, so he advised: "It's better to tell my sister-in-law! It wouldn't be chilling to let her know when someone gets it back."
"Okay! I know what I know!"
When Mrs. Wen saw that her mother did not listen to the advice, she could only feel sorry for Mr. Zhong in her heart.
On the other side, Shen Qingyu was led to the other room by the Wen sisters.
Several people sat together, feeling a little awkward for a while because they were strangers. Before anyone could break the deadlock, Mr. Zhong followed.
Shen Qingyu observed the words and expressions and felt that Mr. Zhong seemed to be unhappy, and others naturally noticed it.
Rujin asked directly, "Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Mrs. Zhong managed to regain her composure and said with a smile: "It's nothing. Maybe I'm tired from the carriage ride today. You sisters are having a lot of fun. I'll go and lie down for a while."
One of the twin sisters immediately stepped forward and said attentively: "Mom is tired, just have a good rest! I will take good care of cousin Qingyu."
Rujin pouted her lips and turned her face to the side.
Mrs. Zhong left, and the sister who had just spoken turned to Shen Qingyu and asked, "What does cousin Qingyu do at home? Do you like to study female celebrities, or play chess, calligraphy and painting?"
ah?
Before Shen Qingyu could answer, she continued: "My uncle is a well-educated man, and he will definitely teach his cousin how to write and write poems. Unlike our sisters, we just know some words."
What do you like to do? That’s probably crazy fun! Crazy fun! Still crazy fun! But can this be said?
Shen Qingyu had changed into a younger body in her life. She was very excited. Even walking around in the garden was not fun. She tried butterfly flapping, which she thought was a sick activity, several times. If she hadn't really had
If she is clumsy enough, butterfly fluttering will become a daily activity for her.
Shen Qingyu had no interest at all in playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, or writing essays, but she was too embarrassed to say it directly, so she had to throw the question back, "What do you usually like to do?"
Wen Rujin was the first to say: "It's nothing special. Grandma invited a gentleman back from outside. She said that she was a young lady from a wealthy family. She had to join our family to be a gentleman because of her family's financial difficulties. We usually follow her in writing and writing.
Painting or something.”
These little sisters gathered together for class, which was just like going to school. Shen Qingyu was a little envious. Mrs. Wen did mention that her husband would be back soon, but it was one-on-one teaching, and it was definitely not as interesting as being with these little girls.
.
I don’t know what Mr. Wen would think if she told Mr. Wen that she wanted to stay here and go to school together.
After chatting with these little girls for a while, Shen Qingyu had a preliminary understanding of their personalities.
Although the twin sisters looked exactly the same, their personalities were completely different. One of them was quite enthusiastic and she started most of the topics.
The other one rarely spoke and was not good at talking. Occasionally Shen Qingyu asked her a few questions, and most of the time she would answer with words like "Well, yes, right".
Shen Qingyu's impression of this little girl Banrong was average. She didn't express her thoughts very much and always put herself down in order to compliment others. As this "other", Shen Qingyu always felt uncomfortable.
Wen Rujin was outspoken, and often what she said could easily cool down the otherwise good atmosphere. However, the other three were very accommodating to her, and they did not embarrass her.
Shen Qingyu was surrounded by several pretty little girls, and her pleasure level once reached its highest level. She returned to her normal self after she got used to it.
Soon it was dinner time, and Wen Gongshun and Wen Liang were not seen at the dinner table. Shen Qingyu didn't really want to see them anyway, so she didn't care.
What made her feel strange was that neither Mr. Wen nor Mrs. Wen looked very good-looking. Mrs. Wen's smile was so forced that she felt that it would not be an exaggeration to be kicked out after eating.
After dinner, a little girl led Mrs. Wen and others to another courtyard. Shen Qingyu heard Mrs. Wen mention that this was the place where she lived before getting married.
After the Wen family girl retreated and her side was the only one left in the room, Shen Qingyu poked her head from Wen's side, tilted her neck and asked, "Did mother have a fight with grandma? Why does she look so ugly?"
Her eldest brother wanted to take a concubine, and it was hard to tell about his parentage. How could Wen express such a thing, so she had to change the subject and asked Shen Qingyu to stop asking, "What did you talk about with the Wen cousins? Are you still happy?"
?”
There is only such a short time in total, what can we talk about, and we need to find someone better to change the topic? Wen is really deceiving her like a child.
Shen Qingyu had no choice but to pick out a few interesting sentences and retell them to Mr. Wen.
A night of silence.
Early the next morning, a little girl came over and called Mrs. Wen, saying that Shen Zhongwen had come to the door early in the morning.
If it hadn't been for what her mother said yesterday, Ms. Wen would still feel sweet, knowing that her husband knew her father's personality and would reveal his nakedness even in a hurry in order to prevent her from being treated coldly at her parents' home.
Now she is just like Shen Zhongwen, hiding as far away as possible. The thought of being involved in such a thing makes her whole body uncomfortable.
She had no choice but to urge Ding Xiang to wash her up quickly.
Shen Qingyu slept in the same room as Mr. Wen yesterday, just in a suite. She also heard the news that Shen Zhongwen had arrived early in the morning. She rubbed her eyes and sat up from the bed, complaining in her heart that this couple was really annoying.
Ruyi just started to dress Shen Qingyu, but Wen had already packed it up.
Mrs. Wen was a little anxious and just said: "Qingyu just take your time. I'll see your father first."
Shen Qingyu didn't know that Mrs. Wen was anxious about other things, and thought she wanted to see Shen Zhongwen earlier, so she couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering.
