"Fourth sister, I...I don't want to be like this, but...but I...I also know that my mother and fourth sister are doing it for my own good. In fact, I don't want to go to other people's houses as guests. If I go, I will give The family is smearing it.”
Geng Xingshui said, lowering his head slightly.
"Third sister, what are you talking about? You are a girl from Anping's house and your father's biological flesh and blood. You must never say that again in the future, otherwise your father and mother will be sad. As a sister, I also feel sad. It doesn’t feel good.”
Geng Xingbing comforted her sincerely, but his eyes were fixed on Geng Xingshui, not missing the slightest change on her face.
"Third sister, do you... miss Tan's mother?"
Geng Xingbing asked cautiously.
Geng Xingshui stiffened and fell silent.
Geng Xingbing sighed and said softly: "Third sister, your life experience... In order to prevent outsiders from talking about it, your parents went to great lengths to send Mother Tan away. They had no choice but to send her away. She is yours..."
Having said this, Geng Xingbing paused slightly.
Geng Xingshui finally spoke.
"Fourth sister, I begged my mother and wanted Mama Tan to come back. Although Mama Tan failed to report my identity to Mrs. Bo in time and asked me to go to Liu'er Hutong, but... But Mama Tan has feelings for me after all. Well, my father must have trusted Mama Tan very much when he was able to entrust my affairs to Mama Tan. Mama Tan was also my mother's right-hand man. If my father and mother lose their trust because of me, it would be unfilial on my part."
Geng Xingshui seemed a little sad and helpless.
"It's just that my mother didn't agree, saying that Mother Tan didn't protect me well. I'm grateful for my mother's loving and protective heart, and I didn't dare to say more for fear of making my mother sad and troubled again. I just made more mistakes.
Fourth sister, I remember that Mother Tan took care of you when you were a child. You must also miss Mother Tan. Why don't you go and beg your mother again? If you go and beg your mother, your mother might relent. "
Geng Xingshui's words were just repaid before. Whether they were true or false, Geng Xingbing didn't really care.
But in the second half, Geng Xingbing's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.
She wanted to hear it again so that she could judge more accurately.
But Geng Xingshui stopped.
"If I tell her, my mother won't agree. As you know, my mother has always made a clear distinction between right and wrong. She thinks Mama Tan is at fault, and she will be punished if she makes a mistake. Even if I am her... biological daughter, she will not change. Idea."
Geng Xingbing's heart beat faster.
Geng Xingshui nodded with some disappointment and said awkwardly: "That's it, then... let's not say it. I said the wrong thing. Fourth sister, don't take offense."
"How could it be? We are sisters. Third sister doesn't have to be so polite all the time."
Geng Xingbing was unable to tell Geng Xingshui's true thoughts from her expression and words.
Geng Xingshui... Shen Shui used to be her maid. She and Pingshan had been serving her since she was very young. Geng Xingbing valued Shen Shui more than Pingshan.
Shen Shui is prettier than Pingshan and more stable than her. She can always say and do things that suit her own mood.
As the master, she never had to think too much about any questions she had. She just asked them directly without thinking about the way or attitude of asking.
Geng Xingbing never thought that one day, she would have to rack her brains to find out something from this former maid.
Maybe I can't ask anything.
But no matter whether she asked or not, what she needed was the truest thought in Shen Shui's heart, unlike now, when she felt she should be sad, she would be sad. She felt that she should let Tan's mother When she came back, she complied with the request.
It seems that she is still the same as before when she was a maid, she has no ideas of her own and is always conforming to herself as the master.
There is perfunctoriness in sincerity, and rejection is hidden in accommodation.
It's like there is a thin layer of gauze between them, leaving people with nowhere to focus.
Looking at Geng Xingbing's leaving figure, the corners of Geng Xingshui's mouth raised slightly.
This time, she didn't seem to get the two answers she wanted.
Pingshan and... Shen Liu, they must be in trouble. Someone has to bear the anger, right?
Geng Xingshuang took a nap for an hour. Because she slept late, when she woke up, it was already Shenzheng time.
There is still some pain in the chest, Geng Xingshuang thought, forgetting to ask Sister Xu to take a look at it this morning.
Mainly because at that time I was focused on finding useful information and finding out the cause of yesterday's incident, so I didn't feel much pain.
Mother Li's visit solved her doubts, but she started to feel a little painful again.
"Girl, are you feeling uncomfortable?"
As soon as Jinbao entered the door, he saw her girl holding her chest and frowning. She was worried and wanted to go forward to check.
Geng Xingshuang put down her hand and shook her head, "It's okay, I just lost my temper."
She could feel that the bones were not broken, at most they were bruised.
This minor injury should be fine in a few days.
Let this fat girl Jinbao know, but she doesn't know how to blame herself.
Jin Bao felt relieved when he saw Geng Xingshuang's face showed no pain and he could move freely.
"Jinbao, Pomegranate is here to find you!"
The sound of curtain painting came from outside the house, and as they were talking, people came in, took over Jinbao's job of serving Geng Xingshuang, and asked Jinbao to go out to meet Pomegranate.
"Go quickly! If Pomegranate comes to play with you, you are allowed to go out of the yard and play for half an hour."
"Girl, Pomegranate shouldn't be looking for slaves to play with."
Jin Bao said and trotted out of the house.
Jinbao's guess was right. Pomegranate did not come to play with her. Jinbao only went out for half a stick of incense and came back.
"Girl, the second master is back."
Jinbao's eyes were wide open and full of anger. Ever since Mama Li spoke at noon today, she had rehearsed countless times in her mind that she should kick the second master into the pond in the backyard of the uncle's house that was full of green algae and silt. , or kick him into the Luxun River closest to the uncle's house. The former is not deep enough, but dirty enough. It cannot drown him but can disgust him to death. The latter is deep enough but the surroundings are very lively. He has to choose to do it in the dead of night, but how can he do it? Let Geng Cheng go for a walk on the bank of Luxun River in the dead of night. This is a problem.
Now that Geng Cheng is back, Jinbao feels that both Bofu Pond and Luxun River are good, but they have one shortcoming: they are not fast enough.
She wanted to go right now, kick people down and beat them with sticks.
"Pomegranate came to tell you? It's just that you two are playing together, but she is still willing to send you news?"
Geng Xingshuang's words brought Jinbao back to her senses. She shook her head and temporarily pushed the thoughts in her mind into a corner.
"My slave told her the story in Mr. Liu's book. If she wanted to know the follow-up, she had to give her something in exchange. I don't accept property, only useful information, so she came."
Jinbao didn't dare to hide it from his girl. The little girl Shiliu was not a quiet one. After she finished listening to the stories in the storybook, she would definitely show off to the other little maids. She might even imitate him and let those little maids exchange things. Next section.
It would be bad for the girl to find out then, so it would be better to do it now.
Geng Xingshuang did not expect this method, and nodded: "It seems that you told the story well, and I didn't waste so much time on my words."
Seeing that his girl was not angry, Jin Bao breathed a sigh of relief and asked: "Girl, the second master is in Madam Uncle's main courtyard now. Do you want me to go and listen?"
Just when Geng Xingshuang was about to say, "We already know the reasons, it doesn't matter whether we listen or not," he heard a sound coming from outside.
Then, it was Ruan’s voice.
"Geng Wen, your good brother is back? Why don't you go see him?"
