After everyone went back to their rooms, Mrs. Xu couldn't help but said to Shen Yunyao: "Why have you been so crazy recently? What good will it do to you to go tit-for-tat with Shen Tianshu every day?"
"I just want to show my grandma her true face!"
"What's the big deal, old lady? She will go back to her hometown sooner or later. You just need to be honest in front of her." Xu said angrily, "It's good now. You are making such a fuss, making your father even more angry." Have mercy on her!”
What Xu was most angry about wasn't actually this. What she was most angry about was that it reminded Shen Zhonglei of Liu Yaxuan again.
But she couldn't say this out loud, so she could only hold it in and sulk.
Shen Yunyao didn't think it was serious, but comforted Mrs. Xu: "I have been living here for two months this time, and among other things, I have gotten to know the old lady somewhat.
"The way Shen Tianshu looked just now might really make dad feel pity for her, but the old lady hates people like her the most.
"Especially if she really lied this time and didn't go to the Guo Mansion at all. The old lady only needs to send someone to inquire and she will know. Then she will definitely dislike her even more.
"As for dad, didn't you see that the old lady left dad behind today? Do you think, compared with the old lady or Shen Tianshu, who would dad prefer?"
"Needless to say, of course it's the old lady." Mrs. Xu said without thinking.
Shen Zhonglei was known far and wide as a filial son in his hometown.
If he had not listened to Mrs. Shen in everything, Xu would not have been able to marry into the Shen family shortly after Liu Yaxuan's death.
Although Mrs. Shen cannot control where Shen Zhonglei's heart lies, the two of them have been able to live respectfully as guests over the years, largely because Mrs. Xu is Mrs. Shen's chosen daughter-in-law.
Regardless of Mrs. Shen's objections, playing the piano and playing the piano with Liu Yaxuan was the only time in Shen Zhonglei's life that he could compete with his mother.
After Liu Yaxuan passed away, Shen Zhonglei's rebelliousness immediately dissipated. When facing Old Mrs. Shen, he even felt an inexplicable guilt and became more obedient. He was even known as a filial son in his hometown.
These thoughts passed through Xu's mind quickly, and then she looked at Shen Yunyao with complicated eyes.
Shen Yunyao, who used to be straightforward about everything, has now learned to make twists and turns?
Xu's heart felt as if she had knocked over the five-flavor bottle.
Although children will grow up one day, they cannot always be as innocent as they were when they were children.
But seeing her daughter, whom she had loved since childhood, learn to calculate with her own eyes still made her feel complicated as a mother.
All kinds of words were tumbling in her heart for a long time, and Mrs. Xu finally just asked: "Are you sure that Shen Tianshu did not go to Guo's house?"
Shen Yunyao said proudly: "Mom, don't worry. I asked someone to follow her all the way. She stayed in a house outside for most of the day, and then she came out and went home directly. Not to mention going to Guo's house, she just didn't go to Guo's house. I haven’t even left the house.”
"Okay, I understand, you should go back and rest early."
After sending Shen Yunyao back to her room, Mrs. Xu still felt a little uneasy. Based on her experience in dealing with Shen Tianshu in the past year or so, she didn't believe that the other party would let Shen Yunyao catch the situation so easily.
So she called Hanqiao into the room and whispered: "Send someone to keep an eye on Shen Tianshu's yard, especially the servants in her room, lest she send someone to Guo's house." Collusion. "
Although Mrs. Xu didn't think that Shen Tianshu would be complicit in the Guo family's conspiracy when she went to confess, but after all, she had a good relationship with Guo Xintong, and they might actually help her lie together.
Shen Zhonglei was left behind by Mrs. Shen. After everyone left, he asked, "Mom, is there something you want to tell your son?"
Mrs. Shen pondered for a moment and asked, "Does Tianshu often do this?"
"What kind?" Shen Zhonglei didn't understand what Mrs. Shen meant for a while.
"It's just..." Mrs. Shen tried to find a more subtle explanation, but failed in the end. She could only ask bluntly, "Does she often bring out her mother to talk about things like this?"
Shen Zhonglei was stunned when he heard this, and then immediately said: "Mother, where did you think of it! Tianshu never mentioned these things. I am afraid that he was hurt by Yun Yao's questioning today, so he said these words."
Mrs. Shen didn't quite believe her son's answer.
She knew the son she had given birth to herself very well.
Shen Zhonglei can be regarded as someone who can read in his family, and he did get ahead by studying for the imperial examination. It can be said that he has made outstanding political achievements in the past few years since he took office.
But when it came to matters at home, he was a fool. He couldn't tell the various little thoughts among the female family members in the back house at all.
As a grandmother, Mrs. Shen couldn't speculate on Shen Tianshu's intentions in front of her son, so she could only say: "You are usually so careless, so naturally you won't notice anything.
"But Tianshu and Yun Yao are both grown girls now. Not to mention that they are not born from the same mother. Even if they are sisters from the same mother's womb, as close in age as they are, they will inevitably have trouble with each other. .”
After Mrs. Shen's reminder, Shen Zhonglei understood her intention of leaving him behind.
"Mom, that kid Tianshu doesn't know that. Just look at how nice she is to Yunhui, and you'll know what her temperament is like.
"It's usually the kid Yunyao who causes trouble for her, so we thought of sending Yunyao back to her hometown and asking you to help teach her."
"Second brother, you can't just take everything at face value! My mother is not as smart as you, and she is not as well-educated as you, but she has seen a lot more things like the back house in her life than you have!"
Mrs. Shen was quite dissatisfied with her son always speaking for Shen Tianshu. This reminded her of the time when she lost control of her son after Liu Yaxuan passed away.
When Shen Zhonglei saw that the old lady had gone so far as to talk today, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "Mom, actually I didn't tell you everything when I sent Yunyao back before."
As he spoke, under the puzzled eyes of Mrs. Shen, he told the old lady exactly how Shen Yunyao colluded with outsiders to pretend to be kidnapped and framed Shen Tianshu, but unexpectedly the fake became true. said.
"When I wrote the letter to my hometown, my son never dared to write these things in it, for fear that others would read it." Shen Zhonglei said, "If Shu'er hadn't been smart and borrowed the help of Prince Rui's Mansion, he would have gone all the way. If the clues are traced and Yun Yao and Yun Hui are rescued in time, there is no telling what will happen.
"It was also after that incident that Yunhui stopped following Yunyao and started clinging to Shuer."
Mrs. Shen never expected that there was such a secret behind the matter, and she was dumbfounded for a moment.
