at dusk.
Shen Tianshu was eating in the room. When he saw Minghui coming back from outside, with an angry expression on his face, he called people in and asked, "What's going on? Who made our girl Minghui so angry?"
"Girl, you are teasing me again."
Since then, Fan Yu has been called Miss Minghui and Miss Minghui several times. After returning home, Shen Tianshu also liked to use this title to tease her.
"Didn't you go to deliver medicine? Why did it take you so long to come back?" Nanny Yang asked while helping Shen Tianshu prepare the dishes.
"Young Master Biao was moved out of the mansion. I didn't know until the slave delivered the medicine." Minghui said, "Hanqiao was waiting there in the madam's room. He took the medicine directly and took the people out of the mansion to who knows where. Went to deliver medicine."
"What's there to be angry about? It's not like you have to deliver it to someone in person. Besides, tomorrow is the last dose of medicine. After he takes it, it will save us trouble in the future."
"Girl, why aren't you angry at all? Master Cousin has done so many bad things, why do you just let him move out? The second girl is just a grounded person who doesn't hurt or itch. Could it be that the girl is Are you tired in vain? Mingyu’s injuries are also in vain?”
"You're still too young." Shen Tianshu was seven-tenths full and put down his chopsticks to signal that he didn't want to eat. After rinsing his mouth, he picked up the tea cup again and slowly sipped the tea soup and said, "In this world, the principle of doing things is It’s the same as treating a disease. It’s about a step-by-step process. How can there be so many things that can be accomplished overnight? Be patient and lay the groundwork in the front, and the rest will naturally develop based on the foundation you laid in advance.”
Minghui half understood what he said, but Nanny Yang on the side seemed to understand something.
After dinner, Shen Zhonglei brought many things to Shen Tianshu and directly rewarded Mingyu with fifty taels of silver.
"Daughter, thank your father for Mingyu." Shen Tianshu recently discovered that as long as she hides the hatred in her heart a little deeper, makes the fake smile on her face brighter, and curves her eyebrows until they are only crescents, she can also make An innocent expression.
Shen Zhonglei was really impressed by her attitude. He sat down and said, "Shu'er, you don't blame dad, do you?"
"Dad, where did you start with these words?" Shen Tianshu sneered in his heart, but his eyes widened in surprise, and his whole person looked more childish, almost like an eleven or twelve-year-old girl.
"You just came back from the office and you brought me so many things. It was too late for me to be happy. How could I blame you?"
"Oh, it's the matter between Xu Yihao and Yun Yao..." Shen Zhonglei hesitated and said with great difficulty, "Just, that's it, you know."
"Dad, are you too tired to remember wrongly? The ones who were kidnapped were the second sister and the third sister. From the beginning to the end, nothing happened to me."
"Hey, Mr. Fan came to the government office today to say goodbye and told me everything that happened that day."
When Shen Tianshu heard this, he felt happy. Fan Yuru had finally left, and there was no need to worry about him staying here to track down Lady Tong.
I don't know whether it was because of the candlelight or because he had been too tired these past few days, but Shen Zhonglei's expression and tone were very soft today, and the eyes he looked at Shen Tianshu were full of love and care.
"Today Mr. Fan praised you very much, saying that you are brave and careful, and your thinking is clear and meticulous. But when I thought about you, I must have been frightened, right?" Shen Zhonglei became more and more satisfied with his eldest daughter as he looked at her, and patted her. The back of his hand said, "You kid, your temperament is exactly the same as mine when I was young. The more panic you feel inside, the calmer you appear on the outside, and no one can see any flaws."
"At that time, I only thought about rescuing my two sisters quickly. I had no thoughts or time to think about anything else. It wasn't until I came back last night and was lying in bed by myself that I started to feel scared.
"What if I got distracted somewhere, or if I was delayed by something along the way, then the second sister and the third sister will..."
After hearing this, Shen Zhonglei immediately thought that last night, Shen Yunyao was accompanied by Mrs. Xu, Shen Yunhui was guarded by Ping Niang, and only Shen Tianshu was alone.
He couldn't help but say with a sore nose: "Dad has neglected you too much these years, and you have grown into a big girl in the blink of an eye."
Shen Zhonglei suddenly felt emotional. He had a good meal with Shen Tianshu to express his father's love, and then left Shuangtangyuan with a full stomach of melancholy.
Aunt Yang said with a smile: "Young girl still has a way. Now I feel that I owe you a lot, so I will definitely make it up to you."
Shen Tianshu was noncommittal. Shen Zhonglei's mood today was just a temporary emotion. This kind of thing would soon change with his mood, so it should not be taken seriously.
"It's getting late, girl, please freshen up and rest early." Now that Mingyu was injured and the other maids hadn't been trained yet, Nanny Yang simply went into battle herself and started working as a personal maid.
Shen Tianshu yawned slightly, then casually opened the medical book that he had read half of and said, "Don't worry, maybe someone will come later."
"It's so late, and the courtyard door is almost locked. Who else will come?" Aunt Yang couldn't figure it out, but seeing that Shen Tianshu didn't want to explain, she had to move another oil lamp over, so as not to worry about it. She had bad eyesight.
Shen Tianshu read the book like this for half an hour. Mi'er finally led a man who wrapped himself tightly in a cloak into the room and said, "Miss, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
The visitor was startled when he heard this and asked, "How did the elder girl know that I would come?"
You know, she was thinking about today in the room from last night, until she finally made up her mind to come find Shen Tianshu.
Shen Tianshu put down the medical book, rubbed his already sore eyes, stood up and said, "I also guessed that you have no other choice but to go here now."
The visitor opened the laces and took off his hat, revealing his face. It was Ping Niang.
Ping Niang's usually bright red and phoenix eyes were now bloodshot, and her brows and corners showed exhaustion.
"The eldest lady is right, I really have no way out." Ping Niang sighed deeply, "Now Madam is still ill and has not yet freed up her hands. When she recovers, she will know these things The third girl told the master everything. Will there still be a way for us to survive by then?
"Eldest girl, I beg you." Ping Niang stood up suddenly and knelt in front of Shen Tianshu, "I have a humble life in this life, and I don't ask for anything more. I just hope that the eldest girl can help the third girl at the critical moment. She really doesn't have any bad intentions, the reason why she always picks troubles behind the second girl is because I asked her to do that, just to make her life in the house a little easier."
Shen Tianshu listened to her quietly before asking, "Then what can you give me in exchange?"
Ping Niang was confused by the question. It was the Xu family that everyone wanted to deal with. They were just helping each other. Why did they put up conditions?
Shen Tianshu stepped forward, leaned close to Ping Niang, and whispered something in her ear.
"Ah!" Ping Niang was so frightened that her eyes widened and she screamed uncontrollably. She quickly raised her hands to cover her mouth and asked in a very low and trembling voice, "How big, big is this matter?" How did the girl know?"
Shen Tianshu raised his hand and stroked the pearl flowers on his head, curled his lips and said with a smile: "Originally it was just a guess, but now it is finally confirmed."
