Shen Tianshu was a little hesitant when he heard the words, as if he was considering whether he should say it or not.
Xu Bingrong immediately said: "Tell the truth about where you have been. It's already this time and you still want to deceive your elders?"
"Uncle, don't be anxious." Shen Tianshu didn't show any panic when he heard this, but looked helpless, "Actually, I went to Aunt Ping's room! I didn't want to disturb my grandmother and father at first, but I didn't expect that not only did I disturb you two in the end, bit, and even alarmed my uncle..."
This answer caught everyone by surprise.
Xu Bingrong didn't believe it even more, and said: "As the eldest daughter, what are you doing in your aunt's room in the middle of the night? She neither gave birth to you nor raised you!"
When Old Mrs. Shen heard this, she really wanted to roll her eyes. What on earth had she done in the wrong place to end up in such a troublesome marriage for her son?
However, she was relieved of what she had been worrying about, and her expression softened a lot when facing Shen Tianshu.
As long as there was an explanation of where to go so that Xu Bingrong wouldn't cause trouble, she didn't care much about what he was doing.
The two children were here to keep a vigil for Mrs. Xu, lighting lamps and cooking oil. They were already exhausted. As long as they didn't go out to cause trouble, what could they do if they found a place to rest for a while?
Of course, this is impossible and cannot be said in front of Xu Bingrong. It is still necessary to ask him where he is going and give him an explanation so that he can no longer use the topic as an excuse.
"Why did you go to Ping Niang's room in the middle of the night?"
"Returning to my grandmother, Yimei, who was in Aunt Ping's room, came to me and said that Aunt Ping had a stomachache.
"At that time, my sister was burning paper in front of the funeral. I looked at the time and saw that it was getting late. I thought that my grandmother was old and my father was still ill, so I didn't disturb you two for the time being. I planned to go over to see the situation first."
"Why are you feeling uncomfortable? How are you now? You kid, even if you don't call us, you should call a doctor quickly!" Old Mrs. Shen immediately became nervous when she heard this, waiting for Shen Tianshu's answer.
Shen Zhonglei also sat up straight and asked repeatedly: "Why do you suddenly have a stomachache when you are fine? Have you asked a doctor? How are you now?"
Shen Yunhui opened her mouth, but in the end she did not dare to speak, but she leaned forward slightly and looked at Shen Tianshu nervously.
"Grandma and father, please rest assured that Aunt Ping is fine now.
"Doctor Zhang left a bottle of anti-fetal medicine before. When I went over, Aunt Ping had already taken the medicine and felt much better. She said that the house was doing some business. If she went out to ask for a doctor in the middle of the night, she might not be able to tell him in the city tomorrow. I wanted to spread some gossip, so I refused to let me call a doctor.
"I think Aunt Ping's face looks okay. She also said that her stomach doesn't hurt much anymore, so she didn't persist.
"But I still couldn't feel relieved, so I stayed a little longer until Aunt Ping's stomach pain stopped and she fell asleep before I came back. I didn't expect that so many people would be disturbed."
Everyone in the Shen family breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.
Old Mrs. Shen nodded slightly and said: "Although you are in charge of the affairs of the back house now, and Aunt Ping should come to you if she has something to do, but you should still explain it before leaving, otherwise you will think that you are here in the middle of the night. He disappeared, making the whole family worried."
"It's all my fault that my granddaughter didn't think it through well. She was anxious at the time. She was afraid that if she told Yunhui, she would be worried and not be able to watch the funeral with peace of mind, so she left without saying a word.
"Now that I think about it, caring leads to chaos. Why do I have to tell Yun Hui and just say no to the maid and mother-in-law beside her.
"As expected, my granddaughter is still inexperienced and lacks experience. She will definitely learn her lesson in the future."
Mrs. Shen was very satisfied with Shen Tianshu's attitude and nodded: "How old are you? Not to mention you, even at my age, I dare not say that I can do everything well.
"You have to keep vigil and take care of the affairs of the back house these days. You are already very tired. I can't blame you for neglecting me."
After Mrs. Shen finished speaking, she turned to look at Xu Bingrong and asked, "Now that Tian Shu has been found, I wonder if I have anything else to teach you?"
As an elder who said such words, Xu Bingrong couldn't help but say: "I was also worried tonight because I was worried that something had happened when I saw my niece was not there, which upset the whole family.
"The last thing I should do is disturb the old lady. It's really my fault. I have to apologize to the old lady now."
As he spoke, he stood up and bowed to Mrs. Shen in a decent manner.
Mrs. Shen didn't expect him to be so solemn. Although she was an elder, she was a guest attending a funeral, so she felt a little embarrassed for a while.
However, when Xu Bingrong stood up, Shen Tianshu immediately leaned over and saluted: "Everything today happened because of my inconsideration. How can I blame my uncle? I hope my uncle will forgive me."
She seized this opportunity very well. Not only did she relieve Mrs. Shen's embarrassment, but she also blocked what Xu Bingrong wanted to say later.
Mrs. Shen was very satisfied, supported Nanny Jiang's arm and stood up, saying: "It's getting late, don't pile up here, go back and rest quickly."
As she walked out, she told Aunt Jiang: "Think of it for me. Send someone as soon as possible at dawn to ask Doctor Zhang to come over and take a look. By the way, he will also check Aunt Guo's pulse. It concerns the heir, so we can't neglect it." "
Xu Bingrong was humiliated. After Shen Zhonglei went out, he followed him out.
As he walked, he thought about it, Ping Niang was the dowry maid brought by Mrs. Xu before. When did this Aunt Guo appear? Never heard of it before.
He turned to ask the servant beside him: "Is this Aunt Guo my brother-in-law's new one?"
"Returning to my uncle, Aunt Guo is the aunt who used to be Hanqiao by Madam's side. She was raised only after the old lady came."
When Xu Bingrong heard this, his eyes rolled, and he felt that he had figured it out.
Xu had given birth to a son and a daughter on her own. After coming to Yongzhou, she had been unwilling to add anyone else to Shen Zhonglei's side.
When Old Mrs. Shen came, she naturally felt sorry for her son and hoped that the family could be more prosperous, so she asked Mrs. Xu to reluctantly give Hanqiao to Shen Zhonglei as a roommate.
Mrs. Shen was pressing down on her, Ping Niang was pregnant, and she reluctantly carried Hanqiao to her aunt. Mrs. Xu must be feeling depressed.
In this case, it seems to make sense that she suddenly took the child back to her parents' house to repair the relationship.
Xu Bingrong felt that he had thought wrong before, but if he thought about it carefully, even if the husband and wife had conflicts, Shen Zhonglei had no reason to kill his own children if he wanted to get rid of the Xu family.
He couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.
I thought well before I came, but I realized when I arrived that it was not easy to cause trouble.
Shen Zhonglei still complains of illness, which makes it impossible for him to find a chance to mention Xu's dowry.
It was such a good opportunity today, but it ended up being blocked before he could make a fuss.
From the oldest to the youngest, are all the Shen family foxes who have been practicing for thousands of years?
It's so slippery that you can't grasp the handle.
