Mrs. Xu stayed in the backyard of the study until dark, and then under the cover of night, she returned to the main room in embarrassment.
Manqing and Mancui watched helplessly as the pinch marks on Xu's neck gradually deepened over time, from the initial redness to purple bruises.
Although Xu didn't do well today, it didn't make Shen Zhonglei so angry, right?
But looking at Mrs. Xu who was in a daze, the two of them didn't dare to say anything, so they could only quickly prepare an ice handkerchief to help her put it on.
Mrs. Xu blocked Man Qing's hand and said: "You two have not been around me for long. Although on the surface I don't use either of you, I actually see your temperament." .
"Manqing is calm and honest, while Mancui is quite clever, but lacks a sense of the overall situation..."
"In any case, the relationship between master and servant is a matter of affection. No matter where you are sold in the future, Manqing had better be more lively in his work, and Mancui had better be more down-to-earth and steady..."
"Why did Madam want to sell slaves?" Mancui's face turned pale with fright, and she rushed forward and knelt down in front of Mrs. Xu, "Madam, I must remember your words and never act clever again. I want to serve Madam all the time. , to be Madam’s personal maid, please Madam not to sell this slave…”
Manqing also knelt down in confusion, wondering what happened in the backyard of the study. In just a short while, Xu's whole person could exude an aura of depression and world-weariness.
"My wife, I haven't been able to do anything for a few days." Mrs. Xu sighed and continued, "Now it seems that I have never promoted you two. Instead, I have been treating you well."
"Madam..." Mancui was about to say something, when Mrs. Xu waved her hand to stop her, "Go and tell Yunyao and ask her to come over in half an hour. Manqing, please stay for a while, I I have something else to tell you."
After sending Mancui away, Mrs. Xu began to direct Manqing to search and pack things in the room, and soon she packed out two large bags of gold and silver.
Mrs. Xu handed her the remaining banknotes from the old boss and said, "Although I haven't said this before, you are the only one I can trust among the people in the room now!"
"Madam, what happened? What are you doing!" No matter how calm Man Qing is, she is still a teenage girl and is already frightened by Xu's series of actions.
Just at this time, Shen Yunyao came into the room and said, "Mom, what do you want from me? What's going on in the house? Mom, are you going out?"
Looking at the house with nowhere to go, Shen Yunyao looked at Mrs. Xu with an incomprehensible expression.
"Mom, what's wrong with your neck?" Seeing Xu's injury, Shen Yunyao immediately rushed forward, shouting, "Here comes someone, why don't you call the doctor quickly? Why haven't you even applied medicine?"
"It's okay." Mrs. Xu grabbed Shen Yunyao's hand, pulled her to her side, raised her hand and caressed her cheek and said, "In a blink of an eye, Yunyao has grown so big, and the cute look you had when you were a child seems to be still there. It’s like it’s right in front of you.”
"Mom, what happened?" Shen Yunyao's hair stood on end.
Just listening to the content of these words, it seemed as if he wanted to kiss her.
But there was no news about Shen Tianshu ahead of her, and it was not her turn for the time being.
The most important thing is that Mrs. Xu's attitude when she spoke was so touching. She didn't have the joy of saying she wanted to kiss her, but instead showed a sense of sadness that she would die soon.
Mrs. Xu looked at her daughter, her eyes moistened involuntarily.
But now is no longer the time to delay casually.
She held Shen Yunyao's hand tightly and said involuntarily: "Yunyao, don't talk, listen to me first.
"Here are my mother's remaining gold and silver coins and banknotes. You have brought them all with you. If nothing happens, these things will be enough for you to live the rest of your life without worries, but you can no longer be as extravagant as before at home.
"This is Man Qing from my mother's house. You also recognize her. Although she is only a year or two older than you, she is a very serious and down-to-earth person.
"Mom has no one else to entrust to her now. Please quickly change your clothes and follow her out of the house, to a place where she can't find you..."
As soon as Xu said these words, Shen Yunyao and Man Qing were dumbfounded.
"mother……"
"lady……"
“Stop asking so many questions, it will be too late if we don’t leave.
"Man Qing, I entrust Yunyao to you. Once you go out, don't look back. Go as far as you can and never come back."
"Mom, what are you doing? Don't you want me anymore?" Shen Yunyao was so frightened that she cried loudly.
Mrs. Xu took her daughter into her arms, feeling like a knife was piercing her heart.
"Mom, what happened, please don't scare me, okay..." Shen Yunyao was hugged tightly by Mrs. Xu, but she didn't know what happened. She just felt panicked in her heart and tears couldn't help but burst out of her eyes.
"Okay, don't cry." Mrs. Xu raised her head and looked at Man Qing and said, "I know you are attentive. You should have guessed what happened, right?"
Although Manqing had indeed guessed that eight|nine were inseparable from each other, when she heard what Xu said, she still couldn't help but look up at her.
Mrs. Xu showed a very ugly bitter smile and said, "That's right, it's just as you guessed."
Seeing that Xu actually admitted it so directly, Man Qing was still shocked in her heart.
Just listen to Mrs. Xu continue: "Yun Yao is not a bad-hearted child, but he has been spoiled by me since he was a child, and his temper is a bit arrogant.
"After you go out, be more considerate and take care of her, find an inconspicuous place to sell a yard and settle down, and see if you can find an ordinary family for her to marry in two years...
"Now I just hope that she will be safe in the next few days, and I don't dare to hope for anything else..."
Shen Yunyao is only a teenager this year, and the rest of her life is still long. How many major life events she will encounter in this life can be explained clearly in just a few words.
Mrs. Xu resisted the urge to continue telling her daughter, and held her hand firmly: "Yunyao, you swear to your mother that you will not act willfully again after you go out, and you will listen to Man Qing more when things happen. Also, Never go back to the Shen family again!"
"Mom, I..."
Before Shen Yunyao could speak, Mrs. Xu interrupted her again: "Swear quickly, do you want my mother to die in peace?"
Shen Yunyao was so frightened by Mrs. Xu's words that she stopped crying and choked so much that she kept burping and crying.
It was best to take the oath with sobs and tears at Xu's insistence.
Mrs. Xu still had thousands of things she wanted to say in her heart, but she couldn't care about it at this time.
"Manqing will tell you what exactly happened in the future... Just remember that my mother is doing it for your own good and will not harm you."
Although Xu admitted her affair to Manqing, she was still embarrassed to talk about it in front of her daughter.
She hardened her heart, broke away Shen Yunyao's hand from hers, and put her into Man Qing's hands.
"Let's go quickly, we can't delay any longer."
