Chapter 473: Doubts 3
Chen Yang knew what kind of personality of his elder brother was Chen Huai, who had some courage in the court, but when facing women, he was always indecisive, like this to Hu and his second niece, otherwise he would not have been deceived by their mother and daughter for so many years. At first, Chen Yang thought that Shen Qingxi might have tried to please Chen Huai, which made him change his mind. But after hearing what the old lady said, all this thought was dispelled.
The old lady sighed, "Your elder brother is a confused man. He misled Fangze back then and was also heartless towards Xi Maid. Now Xi Maid is back and has helped the Prime Minister's Mansion. Although your elder brother regrets it, these regrets are hard to make up for. Xi Maid is close to me, but he is a little distant from him. It's also his fault. Xi Maid may have time to make up for it when Xi Maid came back, but he favored the wrong person. Now, I can't do anything about it..."
The old lady said that Chen Huai and Shen Qingxi had an average relationship, which shows that Shen Qingxi was not so pleased Chen Huai. However, Chen Huai was trying to please Shen Qingxi in the current situation. As a result, Chen Yang's suspicion was no longer counted.
"You just came back, but I don't know. When you stay in the mansion for a while, you will know that Xi's girl is so powerful. It's strange that Xi's girl has only one Jingniang by her side. Jingniang can teach the rules of the aristocratic families, but she can't teach Xi's girl so smart. She is probably from Fangze."
Chen Yang knew this, Jingniang was an honest and honest person.
The old lady sighed, "You brother told you about the previous things, right? The Prime Minister's Mansion was almost ruined. At that time, your wife and I packed up the box and prepared to move out the Prime Minister's Mansion's family at any time. But unexpectedly, Xi's prescription saved the Prime Minister's Mansion. Her father treated her like that, but she always respected her father very much. Although she was not very close, at the critical moment, she stood up..."
"It would be great if it weren't for sending Xi girl to Luozhou back then."
The old lady sighed and made Chen Yang feel soft when she heard it. It would be fine if her elder brother said that, but Chen Yang knew that her mother was accurate in judging people. At the beginning, her mother didn't like Hu because her elder brother insisted and did not object. Now it seems that her mother has indeed seen it right, so now, her evaluation of Shen Qingxi must be pertinent.
Are people who let their mother appreciate this really so well-knowingly but not the person who hurts their daughter?
Chen Yang was full of questions, but he couldn't ask directly. When he asked about the incense burning in the Buddhist temple that day, the old lady was very scared, but what she said was no different from Shen Huai. The old lady said again, "I was so scared that I was out of my mind and hurriedly asked your elder brother and Jiayan to pick it up. After someone came back, hey, Yun'er was like this, and I felt extremely distressed."
Chen Yang felt a dull pain in his heart, and he talked to the old lady for a while. People outside came to report that Shen Jiayan was back!
After Shen Jiayan returned to Beijing, he had been working hard to go to school. Now that the Chinese New Year is coming, he dare not relax. He heard that Chen Yang suddenly came back and was taken back by the Prime Minister's Mansion. As soon as he entered the mansion, Shen Jiayan immediately came to Zhishuiju to pay tribute to the old lady, and also came to see Chen Yang...
"Grandmother! Where is my father?!"
Before entering the door, he heard Shen Jiayan shouting, and the old lady laughed, "Look, Jiayan is very close to you..."
As soon as the door curtain was lifted, Shen Jiayan's figure flashed in. Seeing that Chen Yang was indeed in Zhishuiju, he immediately laughed.
"Greetings to my grandmother, to my father..."
Chen Yang smiled and said, "It's so old, why are you still so irritable?"
Shen Jiayan smiled and said, "I thought my father wouldn't come to celebrate the New Year, but suddenly I heard that my father was back, and I was very excited for a moment."
The old lady waved to Shen Jiayan over, "Okay, I've returned to the mansion. How can I be free? As for being outside, I still need to pay more attention..."
Shen Jiayan nodded quickly, and the old lady pulled Shen Jiayan to ask if he was cold and careful when he entered school recently, and then said, "You two fathers and sons are afraid that they have something to say. You will go to see your mother when you come back, so go back. Let's have dinner together tonight."
Shen Jiayan responded, Chen Yang also stood up and took his leave, and then the father and son walked out.
As soon as he left the Shuiju, Shen Jiayan asked Chen Yang about his health and fatigue. Chen Yang smiled and answered one by one, and then asked Shen Jiayan how he was doing. Shen Jiayan quickly wrote down what he had learned these days and said a lot of his own gains as if he was offering treasures. Chen Yang nodded constantly after hearing this, and the two of them went to the snow courtyard while talking.
After talking about the recent situation with each other, Chen Yang said, "There have been a lot of trouble in the mansion recently. Can you tell me?"
Since Chen Yang is here to verify, he naturally needs to understand from multiple perspectives. After listening to Chen Huai and the old lady, he also needs to listen to what his son said. He believes what his son said soon after he is back.
Shen Jiayan talked about the Hu family's mother and daughter, and said it was full of righteous indignation. "I didn't know that my aunt was such a person. It was a very bad thing at that time, and the second sister was also the same. Fortunately, my grandmother and my grandmother finally understood the right and wrong and dealt with them."
Shen Jiayan thought it was very simple. Black is black and white is white. He couldn't understand the twists and turns of the inner house, so he said what he saw most on the surface. Chen Yang asked, "What do you think of your eldest niece?"
Shen Jiayan frowned slightly, and then pondered for a moment, saying, "I think it's very difficult for my eldest sister..."
Chen Yang raised his eyebrows, "What do you say?"
Shen Jiayan said, "The eldest sister is so sensible and manages these family affairs very well. At first I couldn't understand, but later I found out... The eldest sister suffered a lot, so she practiced this kind of temperament."
The poor children were already in the family, and Shen Qingxi knew more naturally because she was not treated well by the prime minister's family.
Chen Yang paused, feeling a little pity in his heart, but he was still worried and turned to look at Shen Jiayan and said, "How is your relationship with your eldest sister?"
Shen Jiayan smiled bitterly, "I haven't said a few words yet..."
As he said that, seeing Chen Yang's expression changed slightly, Shen Jiayan hurriedly said, "It's not that I won't say it. I have been following my uncle after I came back, and later went to study. My eldest sister is also very busy and is not too attentive to me, so..."
Chen Yang understood that if Shen Qingxi wanted to win people's hearts, she would naturally care more about her son. After all, everyone knew that the second young master of the Prime Minister's Mansion was still young, and the eldest young master would have to support the family in the future.
Shen Qingxi must have a chance to do this, but she didn't...
