"Bah bang bang!" Applause came from the door of the small kitchen.
Grandma Guo was so frightened that she turned around and saw Shen Tianshu standing at the door looking at her. Her back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.
"Big girl..."
"I just found out today that I can't even take care of a maid in my room, so why bother Madam to put her hand into my room to take care of it for me?"
"No..." Grandma Guo felt flustered for no reason.
When she told Minghui, she was not worried that the other party would tell Shen Tianshu. Anyway, when the time came, there would be no proof of what the family said, so the lady would naturally protect her.
Who would have thought that Shen Tianshu would catch her, and there would be a tailor and an embroiderer behind her.
This is great, you even have witnesses?
Aunt Guo looked at Minghui, then at Shen Tianshu, and said angrily: "Miss, you, you are plotting against this old slave!"
"What does Aunt Guo mean by this?" Shen Tianshu asked with raised eyebrows, "Aunt Guo took the initiative to bring a tailor and an embroiderer here early in the morning, and went to the small kitchen under the guise of Gong to poach me. I really wanted to hear this. Listen, how did I plot this, grandma?"
"this……"
Grandma Guo was speechless. She was about to continue talking when Shen Tianshu raised his hand to stop her and said, "Well, I don't want to hear your excuse either. If we have anything to say, let's talk about it in front of you!"
After Shen Tianshu finished speaking, he turned to the tailor and the embroiderer and said, "I'm really sorry. It's all a family scandal, but I still have to trouble you two and come with us."
The tailor and the embroiderer didn't expect that they were just following a maid to take measurements, but how could they go to the extent of going to testify in front of Mrs. Shen?
Xu looked at the group of people in the room, and her head, which had been fine for two days, couldn't help but start to hurt again.
"Didn't you say you were making clothes for the maid? What happened?" Mrs. Xu skipped Shen Tianshu and asked Aunt Guo directly.
"Mother." Shen Tianshu bowed politely, "I'll do the talking."
Without waiting for Xu's permission, Shen Tianshu continued: "Mama Guo took someone to measure the clothes. The other maids quickly finished the measurements, leaving only Minghui behind to watch the medicine.
"I happened to want to go see how the medicine was going, so I took Master Huang and Guo Xiuniang to the small kitchen together. I thought I could finish measuring them early so they could go back to work and not delay other people's business. Who knows..."
When Shen Tianshu said this, he pulled out his handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, sobbing softly.
After listening to Shen Tianshu's words, Mrs. Xu couldn't understand what was going on when she saw Nanny Guo drooping her head.
But she still had to pretend that she didn't understand and asked: "What happened?"
"I took people to the small kitchen, and I actually heard Aunt Guo saying something to slander my mother to the maid in my room!" Shen Tianshu raised his voice slightly, with an indignant look on his face, "Not only did Aunt Guo say something "The head of Shen's house is a madam, not a big girl." He also said that as long as my mother said a word, she could get the maid in my room.
"There is no one around my mother who she wants to serve. How could she ask for a little maid in my room who just bought me and doesn't know anything?
"I think this is clearly her purposely smearing her mother outside to achieve her own ulterior motives!"
Mrs. Xu didn't expect that Shen Tianshu didn't mention the prescription. Instead, he found another way and said that Aunt Guo was disrespectful to her.
The fake smile on her face could no longer be maintained, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Is there any misunderstanding here? Aunt Guo is my dowry, why are you trying to smear me outside!"
"Yes, madam, this old slave has been wronged. My loyalty to my madam is beyond words!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Grandma Guo hurriedly knelt down and asked Mrs. Xu for help.
"Then what do you mean by those words?" Shen Tianshu said immediately: "Not only did my daughter hear these words, but Master Huang and Guo Xiuniang also heard them. If mother doesn't believe it, why not ask them?"
Grandma Guo was speechless and didn't know how to explain.
"Forget it, no need to ask, what else does a family need to testify or not? How can I not believe you?"
If he asked, wouldn't it mean that Grandma Guo's charges would be confirmed in public?
"Thank you, mother. Let mother decide how to deal with Nanny Guo!"
Seeing Shen Tianshu's expression as he waited for his decision, Xu was really one of two people.
Before she could speak, she suddenly heard footsteps outside.
"The master is back!" The little maid at the door was also caught off guard and announced loudly while lifting the curtain.
"What are you shouting for!" Shen Zhonglei rolled his eyes at the maid in displeasure and strode into the house.
The little maid was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and didn't dare to express her anger.
Mrs. Xu also stood up in surprise and said: "Master is back, why didn't someone send a message home in advance?"
"I was supposed to arrive in three days. I was in a hurry, so I rushed back at night, so I didn't send anyone back first." Shen Zhonglei entered the room, glanced at Grandma Guo who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "This way, you can do one thing to your face and behind your back." What else are you doing?"
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Mrs. Xu, thought for a while and then said: "Since she is my wife's dowry nanny, let's send her to Zhuangzi to take care of her in old age. We must not keep such a person in the house."
Mrs. Xu was originally thinking about how to arrange Nanny Guo. Anyway, she would just transfer her back after a while.
Unexpectedly, Shen Zhonglei suddenly came back and interfered. Now this matter will not be easy to handle.
Grandma Guo was so frightened that her liver and gallbladder split apart. If she was really sent to live in Zhuangzi for retirement, she would stay away from Mrs. Xu.
Even in a short period of time, Mrs. Xu can still care about her old relationship and take more care of her family. But as time goes by, there will always be favored servants around her. By then, her family will really be like grasshoppers after autumn. It's been a while since I've been in a hurry.
Most importantly, is his grandson's future going to be ruined?
Xu didn't care so much at this time. She knew Shen Zhonglei's temperament. She saw that he was frowning and obviously impatient, and she didn't dare to get into trouble with him at this time.
She secretly winked at Mr. Guo and said, "You all listen to me."
This was the first time Shen Tianshu met the original owner's biological father. He stepped forward and saluted: "Father is going out this time. It's been a hard journey."
When Shen Zhonglei saw his eldest daughter, his expression softened significantly, and he asked with concern: "I just heard you outside that the maid was boiling medicine. What, is there something wrong with you?"
"It's just some daily nourishing decoction. Father, don't worry." Shen Tianshu said, "My daughter was still frowning when her father came back. Could it be that the official business didn't go well this time?"
"The official business went well." Shen Zhonglei shook his head and said, "On the way back, I happened to meet a classmate who was in the academy. He took his family back to Beijing to report on his work. Unexpectedly, his old mother became seriously ill on the way and asked for medical advice along the way. The medicine didn't make me any better, but it seemed to be getting worse and worse. Seeing that there was no time to delay, I had no choice but to bring my family back with me. I had just sent them to Dr. Gong's Hua'an Hall, and I had to change clothes quickly when I came back. Go check it out.”
As soon as Shen Zhonglei wanted to change clothes, Shen Tianshu stood up quickly and said, "Then my daughter will leave first."
After leaving the main room and walking back, Shen Tianshu saw no one around and whispered to Mingyu: "Go to Hua'antang to get some medicine and find out what's wrong with this old lady."
