When Yang heard this, she couldn't help but open her eyes wide, and looked at Shen Yunyao with a surprised look on her face. Then she quickly apologized and said with a smile: "I don't know why Miss Shen said this, but Miss Shen did go there yesterday. At home, Mrs. Tong was visiting my old lady for a follow-up visit, and Miss Shen also asked many questions about Mrs. Shen’s health with concern.”
"Impossible, she...ouch..." yesterday
Xu quickly stood up and held Shen Yunyao down.
She squeezed Shen Yunyao's shoulder so hard that it hurt, and then she realized something was wrong and closed her mouth suddenly.
Old Mrs. Shen, who was sitting at the top, was already furious, but she still managed to maintain a kind expression on her face. There was a fire in her heart that could not be released, and her cheeks turned red.
In such an atmosphere, Yang gradually began to feel restless, and the smile on his face became stiff and awkward.
After thinking again and again, she stood up and said: "Today I came to thank our old lady, and I will stay here soon. When my old lady gets better, I will accompany her to visit Mrs. Shen."
"Why are you leaving in such a hurry as soon as you come here? I'm still thinking that I'll take you to my room to talk later!" Mrs. Xu pretended to be polite.
Naturally, Mrs. Yang would not take such polite words seriously, and kept saying: "My old lady is still ill. As the eldest daughter-in-law, I naturally have to serve everyone. When I get free time in the future, Mrs. Shen will call me again." I'll come here to talk, and I'll be there when you call."
Hearing this, Old Mrs. Shen sat on top and said, "That's right. Your old lady is still ill, so it's hard to keep you any longer. I'll wait until your old lady gets better, and I'll come and move around more often."
"Yes, thank you Mrs. Shen." Yang agreed in a good voice, and then followed Chunlan out.
As soon as Yang was sent out by Chunlan, Mrs. Shen's face drooped with a snap.
She looked at Shen Yunyao coldly, and seeing the remorseful look on his face, she said, "Say it, keep talking! Why don't you talk now that he's gone?"
How could Shen Yunyao dare to speak now? She lowered her head and said nothing. She wished she could shrink herself to the point where Mrs. Shen couldn't see her.
Mrs. Shen became even more angry when she saw this. She grabbed the tea cup on the table next to her, threw it to the ground with a bang, and said angrily: "I asked you to say it! You should say everything you just wanted to say!"
The teacup fell to the ground and made a crisp breaking sound, which made Shen Yunyao tremble all over, and tears began to well up in her eyes.
"Mother, Yunyao..." Mrs. Xu just wanted to step forward and speak for her daughter, but Mrs. Shen stabbed her directly in the face. She did not dare to say any more words or move.
"Weren't you very patient just now? Why don't you say anything now?" Old Mrs. Shen was really angry today.
In the past, no matter how Shen Yunyao competed with Shen Tianshu, she would always make a fuss at home.
To put it bluntly, it’s just a shame that hasn’t been thrown outside.
Old Mrs. Shen also came from her age. She has seen many girls of her age in recent years. She can clearly see the little calculations in her heart, but she is too lazy to care about them.
But today in front of Mrs. Guo, Shen Yunyao actually directly said that she was talking nonsense, and she almost pointed at her nose and said that she had collaborated with Shen Tianshu to cheat.
This greatly exceeded Mrs. Shen's psychological bottom line.
Mrs. Shen's interest in the Guo family was naturally not for money.
As a parent official, Shen Zhonglei's annual salary is limited. Even if his family has some land and shops and Zhuangzi profits, the overall amount will not be too much, and even if it is more, it cannot be said on the surface.
Under such circumstances, if something happens within its jurisdiction and the court does not have the money to allocate it, or if something unexpected happens and the court has no time to respond, where will the money come from?
In the end, it's not just the local wealthy squires who need to be counted on.
This is not just a place in Yongzhou Prefecture, but a customary thing in all parts of Daqi.
After all, many places are so far away from the imperial court. Except for important matters, such as repairing roads and bridges, and giving up rice and porridge, who can wait for money from the imperial court for everything? It’s not up to the parents to figure it out on their own.
The Guo family is the richest man in Yongzhou Prefecture. Whether it is giving away rice and medicine, or building bridges and paving roads, the money may not mean anything to his family.
But the most rare thing about the Guo family is knowing everything.
Her family knew that they should take the initiative to move closer to the government, and they had always supported Shen Zhonglei's official affairs, and often set an example for other wealthy households in the city.
Shen Yunyao may not understand it yet, but Mrs. Shen knows it very well.
How rare it is to meet such a rich man in office who is clear-minded and supportive of his work.
There are countless local cowards who not only refuse to cooperate with officials, but even try to suppress their parents!
Taking office in Yongzhou Prefecture was Shen Zhonglei's first time as an official. It was the time when he needed to lay the foundation and achieve political achievements.
Meeting such a family would be a real blessing, and naturally they need to be well managed.
Not only should we open some doors of convenience for the Guo family in normal times, but we should also express ourselves when something happens.
Mrs. Guo had been ill for a month or two, but Mrs. Xu had no idea about it and never said anything, which might have been chilling.
Fortunately, Shen Tianshu was sensible. When he heard about this incident when he came back, he immediately came to make amends.
Now that the Guo family realized what the Shen family meant, they came to reciprocate the favor, but were criticized in person by Shen Yunyao...
Mrs. Shen got a headache when she thought of this.
She originally thought that compared to Shen Yunyao, Shen Tianshu was too sophisticated, but not as straightforward as Shen Yunyao.
But today it seems...
Mrs. Shen couldn't help but shook her head.
Shen Yunyao was still unconvinced at this time, but the Guo family had already come to confirm that Shen Tianshu had gone to the Guo family yesterday. Whatever she said at this time was in vain.
And after being held down by Mrs. Xu, Shen Yunyao quickly figured out that even if she told him about sending people to follow her yesterday, it would not only be of no use, but would also involve the people working under her.
It's hard to say whether Old Mrs. Shen will deal with her or not, but if a servant is used as a scapegoat, he will definitely be punished.
Seeing Shen Yunyao with her head lowered, looking like a ruthless person who wouldn't say anything no matter what you say, Mrs. Shen felt upset for a while.
She didn't sleep well last night and was already in low spirits. Now that she had saved her breath, she felt even more dizzy and dizzy. She didn't bother to bother with Shen Yunyao anymore and directly said: "Okay, you don't need to say anything anymore, go back. Stay behind closed doors and think about your mistakes, and don’t go out without me!”
When Mrs. Xu heard that she just closed her door and thought about her faults, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Before Shen Yunyao could speak, she quickly said, "You kid, why don't you thank the old lady quickly.
"This time the old lady has spoken, you should go back to your room and reflect on yourself. Your father and I will never feel sorry for you again!"
