After Qingmu delivered the things, Grandma Chen took them in and showed them to the old lady.
"Second Master is very considerate. When the subordinate made a mistake, he immediately sent something to make amends. It's really not in vain that you protected him several times in the past. Look, old lady, I just brought it to make ginseng soup for you."
Mrs. Shen glanced at the fine ginseng in the box and smiled with unknown meaning.
"The things are good, but I don't know who is paying for this crime."
Grandma Chen was stunned for a moment, unable to figure out the meaning of the old lady's words.
"This, this is of course compensation for that girl Haitang, otherwise who else would be there?"
Having said this, she became emotional again.
"This girl is also blessed. I don't know how she caught the eyes of the second master and made him so interested in her."
Suddenly a gust of wind blew outside, causing the doors and windows to rattle.
Mrs. Shen looked at the ginseng in the wooden box and was slightly lost in thought.
After a long while, he suddenly said: "The wind is blowing, and it's very cold outside. Call the guy from the small Buddhist hall over here."
Grandma Chen glanced at the old lady in surprise.
When it was clear that he was being punished by heaven, he also said that he would be locked up for two days to temper his temper.
It has only been less than a day, why have you changed your mind?
The old lady's mind was as deep as the sea. She didn't dare to ask any more questions, and turned around and went to the small Buddhist hall to call for help.
Song Yu originally thought that she would at least spend the night here tonight, but she was also surprised when Nanny Chen came.
But it's always a good thing to get out of here.
Asking Chuntao to stay and pack her things first, she followed Nanny Chen to the old lady's room.
The old lady was sitting on the couch twisting Buddhist beads, and Song Yu bowed politely.
"Greetings to grandma."
The old lady did not like liveliness as she was getting older, and she always lived in seclusion in Fushou Hall.
After Song Yu entered the house, she barely met the grandmother a few times.
Mrs. Shen had a smile on her lips and said, "Sit down quickly. You have suffered a day in the small Buddhist hall and you are tired."
"It's not bitter," Song Yu said softly, "Grandma's little Buddhist hall is very clean. Staying there is very relaxing."
The old lady smiled happily, "Since you meditate, what have you reflected on?"
"Madam asked me to come to Fushou Hall to reflect on the rules and learn the rules. Song Yu should not have had conflicts with others on the first day she moved in, disturbing my grandmother's purity."
"It was Haitang who deliberately made trouble for you today. I can't blame you. But I punished you as well. Do you think I'm unfair?"
"Although it was Haitang who started the matter first, I was also wrong. My fault was that I didn't settle the matter as soon as possible. Grandma should punish me."
Everything she says and does is so well-behaved that no one can fault her.
The old lady twisted her prayer beads and didn't answer.
After a while, another topic was brought up.
"That day, when the eldest lady beat you because of Zhan'er, did you feel unjust?"
Song Yu lowered her head, and when she heard the name, she clenched her fingers unconsciously.
"Don't dare."
"I don't dare...that means I have it?"
Song Yu didn't say anything, so she acquiesced.
Wei and Shen Qin didn't like her, and what happened that day was a bit of a public vendetta.
After being beaten, she still wanted to be convinced, but she couldn't do it.
The old lady motioned to Nanny Chen to bring over the medicine box.
She personally took out a small exquisite porcelain bottle and asked Nanny Chen to hand it to Song Yu.
Grandma Chen said kindly: "Grandma, this is a good medicine for treating trauma. If you take it back and use it, you will get better faster."
Song Yu thanked her in a low voice, "Thank you, grandma, and thank you, Grandma Chen."
After taking the things, she was not sure about the old lady's intention.
If he really cared about her injuries or wanted to give her some compensation, he should have sent it to her seven days ago when she was beaten.
Now that her injuries are almost healed, what does it mean to suddenly give her a bottle of medicine?
"Your mother used to get angry at you every time because of Qian'er's affairs. I see it all in my eyes. This is indeed her fault."
Before Song Yu could say anything, Mrs. Shen changed the subject.
"But what happened to Zhan'er that day, even if she didn't hit you, I would still punish you."
Under Song Yu's gaze, the old lady said slowly.
"Three years ago, Lord Marquis was seriously injured and Qian'er was gone. On the surface, the Holy Lord praised our Marquis Mansion very much, but in fact, the Marquis Mansion now relies on Zhan'er alone to support it."
"He is sitting in such a high position at such a young age, with so many pairs of eyes staring at him below. If he makes a mistake, he will be doomed. However, the Hou Mansion is now weak and cannot help him at all."
"On the surface, he has great glory as the chief minister, but in fact he is also struggling in the court."
Her hand holding the porcelain bottle trembled.
Mrs. Shen spoke in a heavy tone, "Princess Changle is favored by the emperor, and she also has a cousin who is a concubine in the palace. If Zhan'er's marriage with her is ruined, it will not only be of any benefit to the Hou Mansion, but also to Shen Zhan!"
This made it clear to her that the marriage between Shen Zhan and the princess must be successful.
She would never allow anyone to ruin this marriage, no one.
Song Yu lowered her eyes, "Grandma, don't worry, what I said in front of my mother and aunt that day was all the truth."
Her marriage to Shen Qian has become a fact, whether she was forced or took the initiative, in short, from the moment she married into the Hou Mansion, she never thought about Shen Zhan again.
I never thought about ruining his marriage.
Even if it wasn't Gu Ciyin, he would marry someone else in the future.
In short, he would not and could not have anything to do with her, a widow.
Seeing her dim eyes, Mrs. Shen raised the corner of her mouth slightly.
"Some things are gone in the past. If two people are not destined to be together, no matter how hard they try, they will never get together. If people always look back and dwell on the past, how can they live in this life, don't you think? "
Song Yu's back suddenly stiffened.
She raised her head slightly in surprise and saw Mrs. Shen smiling at her with unknown meaning.
Cold sweat broke out on her back, and a terrible thought came to her mind.
Mrs. Shen spent a lot of time telling her this today...
Is it because she knows something?
But back then, she and Shen Zhan had a secret relationship, and even the Wei family didn't know about it. How could she know?
Song Yu was so restless that she didn't even know how she walked back.
She and Chuntao were placed in the west wing.
Although it is not as comfortable as Biyan Pavilion, Fushou Hall is a big place and it is considered clean here.
When she returned to the house in a daze, Chuntao had already packed everything.
Seeing her come back, he hurriedly brought over the food he had asked for from the kitchen.
"Miss, I went to the kitchen to ask for this. You've been hungry all day. Would you like to eat something to fill your stomach?"
"I'm not hungry. You can go down and rest first."
Song Yu pushed her hand away and lay down on the bed with a pale complexion.
Mrs. Shen's words had a great impact on her.
She didn't know how much the old lady knew, let alone whether anyone else knew about her and Shen Zhan's past.
Once these things get out, not only will she not have an easy time, but Shen Zhan will also be caught and severely criticized.
Aoki's words and Mrs. Shen's words flashed through her mind alternately.
Song Yu couldn't wait to explain it to Shen Zhan right now.
After a while, she felt that the matter was over, Shen Zhan's future was bright, and she should not bother him with these things from the past.
Song Yu's brain was so swollen that when she fell asleep, she dreamed of the past scenes between her and Shen Zhan.
I didn't sleep well that night.
She woke up before dawn the next day.
Mrs. Shen likes peace and quiet, and Grandma Chen has told her early in the morning that she does not have to pay greetings every day.
But after listening to the old lady's words yesterday, she didn't sleep well all night, so she came over early the next morning.
At least stay in front of the old lady and see if you can find out anything.
But she never expected that Shen Zhan would come over so early in the morning.
