My maternal grandfather, Mrs. Lin, had two daughters and one son. The eldest son and the youngest daughter, Shen Qiaochen's mother, were both born to my maternal grandmother.
The eldest daughter is her aunt Lin, but she is the daughter of Mrs. Lin's late concubine. Due to the death of her parents, she was raised as a daughter by Mr. and Mrs. Lin.
The girl strolling in front of her is her daughter, cousins Bai, Xiao and Nian.
Shen Qiao watched with cold eyes as Bai Xiaonian walked towards him step by step, as if he could still feel the fire from his previous life devouring his body inch by inch. The flame of revenge was burning in his heart and could not be calmed down, as if it was about to surge out.
"Xiao Qiao..." Perhaps because Shen Qiaochen's eyes were too cold, Bai Xiaonian was stunned and called softly.
Shen Qiaochen lowered his head slightly, and when he raised his eyes again, his expression had calmed down. When Bai Xiaonian came back to his senses, the cousin in front of him was still as innocent and ignorant as before. Perhaps because he had just recovered from a serious illness, his face was slightly pale, and his charming little face was also much thinner.
"Cousin, you're here, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Shen Qiaochen smiled slowly.
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Bai Xiaonian always felt that there was something different about his little cousin today, but he couldn't tell what was different. So he tentatively said: "Xiao Qiao, I heard that you fell into the water, and I have been thinking about coming to see you, but my aunt said that my sister has not woken up yet, so she asked me to wait until you wake up and then come over... Xiao Qiao, don't blame your aunt. Grandma, she also feels sorry for me."
Shen Qiaochen was sneering in her heart. After all, she was still young and her mind was far less calm than in her previous life. So she couldn't calm down now?
"What did my cousin say? I am the only legitimate daughter in the General's Mansion, and she is my biological grandmother, so naturally she loves me. My cousin must not say such things again in the future. Grandma will be sad after hearing this."
As if he didn't expect Shen Qiaochen to say this, Bai Xiaonian was stunned for a moment.
"Xiao Qiao, how can you think of me like this? My aunt treats me so well, and you say so, how can I stay in the house from now on..." After saying that, he stood up, but the dignity on his face could no longer be maintained. His eyes were red, as if he had been greatly wronged.
Looking at the hypocritical face in front of him, Shen Qiaochen suddenly felt extremely bored, so he also turned cold and said suddenly: "Since my cousin cares about me so much, why not follow me to my grandmother now and tell her what happened before I fell into the water?" how?"
Who wouldn’t take advantage of grandma? It just happened to be able to verify Shen Qiaochen's suspicion.
When Bai Xiaonian heard Shen Qiaochen talk about falling into the water, Bai Xiaonian's expression changed slightly, but this momentary change was seen by Shen Qiaochen, who was staring at her.
Sure enough it was her.
In an instant, infinite sorrow surged in Shen Qiaochen's heart. The truth about his past and present life was finally revealed.
Then another question arose. Although he has not recovered yet, the imperial doctor also said that there is no serious problem, so why was it so serious in the previous life that the disease was rooted in the disease and never recovered for the rest of his life?
Nowadays, Bai Xiaonian's scheming is still shallow, and he probably doesn't have the ability to reach out to Yilan Courtyard. Could it be his aunt Lin? Shen Qiaochen thought to himself, even Bai Xiaonian left with an aggrieved look and didn't care.
"Girl, my cousin's eyes were red when she left. Now everyone in the house says that you are jealous that your cousin is more favored by the old lady than you, so you deliberately show her face." Zifu has a lively temper, and she is in Shen Qiao's eyes. Shen was waiting in front of him. He was usually very popular among the people in the house, so it was very convenient for him to get information from all sources.
"Really?" Shen Qiao said casually while she was nestling in the cave, flipping through the story book.
"Girl, the house used to say that my cousin has a gentle personality and is well-educated. But this time you suffered such a big crime, and just after you were better, she came to make such a fuss, and even used the name of the old lady. The old lady has always treated you well. I love you so much, please don't worry about it and lose your heart with the old lady."
Ju Bai has a steady temperament, and it is rare for him to say these words. It can be seen that these girls are aware of Bai Xiaonian's true face and have warned him overtly and covertly. However, in the previous life, he was blind.
Perhaps seeing that Shen Qiaochen was not angry, Ju Bai continued: "Now the master, his wife and the eldest young master are out with the troops. In this mansion, only the second young master and the third young master are in the first room, but the two masters are usually in the outer courtyard. This In the inner courtyard, after all, there is only one girl. What happened last time is really worrying. You think... should we move back to Jinghe Hall to accompany the old lady? "
The current head of the Lin family, Mrs. Lin, is Mrs. Shen's half-brother, and they have a very close relationship. She was already more sincere towards Lin who was both her niece and daughter-in-law, not to mention that Lin was a virtuous and virtuous woman who had three sons and one daughter after marriage. Mrs. Shen was even more satisfied.
Things are rare and precious, and Mrs. Shen feels pain to her core for her only granddaughter. Shen Qiaochen has been raised under Mrs. Shen's knees since she was a child, and she is very favored because she feels sorry for her precious granddaughter who has no parents to accompany her.
Even Shen Qiaochen's brothers had to step aside.
Now Shen Qiaochen is thirteen years old and will have haircut in two years. Girls of Xungui's age have already followed their mother in taking care of the middle child and learned how to run a family.
Mrs. Shen has also taught Shen Qiaochen a lot in recent years. As the New Year begins this year, Shen Qiaochen is allowed to move back to Yilan Courtyard and take care of everything in the yard by herself.
I never thought that just a few months after moving here, such a big thing would happen, almost killing Shen Qiaochen.
Mrs. Shen was furious and ordered a thorough investigation into the cause. She came from a famous family and had accumulated great prestige over the years. There was a sudden uproar in the house, and everyone knew that the fourth girl was the old lady's favorite, and no one dared to get into trouble at this time.
Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.
"Girl, Grandma Su is here."
"Please." Ju Bai quickly helped Shen Qiaochen stand up, walked to the table and sat down.
"I've met the fourth girl. Do you think your health is feeling better?" The person who came was a woman in her fifties, who was dressed very simply and decently, and her rules were very thoughtful. She was none other than Aunt Su next to Mrs. Shen.
"Quickly excuse yourself, Zifu, and serve tea to grandma." Facing this loving old grandma, Shen Qiaochen felt nostalgic in her heart, and she unconsciously showed a bit of childishness.
"Mommy, why did you come here in person? Grandma can't live without you."
Seeing with her own eyes that her fourth girl was sitting upright, no longer the pale and weak look she had been in a coma in bed a few days ago, Grandma Su finally felt relieved and joked.
"My fourth girl, you really scared us this time. Why did you fall into the water, and where are all the people waiting around you?" At the end of the sentence, he sounded a bit harsh.
"Mom~" Shen Qiaochen has never felt burdened by acting coquettishly with her elders.
"Mommy, Xiao Qiao has made you worry. But Xiao Qiao has grown up. Please tell me, grandma, and let me handle this matter by myself, okay?"
Shen Qiao looked at Aunt Su eagerly, her wet eyes as clear as a deer's, which made her heart melt.
"You~" Nanny Su sighed helplessly: "Fourth girl, you haven't woken up yet. The old lady was really worried, so she handed the sign to the palace early this morning."
My maternal ancestor, the Lin family, was a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River. There were many famous ministers and ministers in the past. She was the biological mother of Emperor Chongming. The current Queen Mother was also from the Lin family, and she and Shen Qiaochen's grandmother were full sisters.
Mrs. Shen most likely came to the palace this time to ask her eldest sister for medicine for her unconscious granddaughter.
Shen Qiaochen felt a warm feeling in her heart after hearing this. It was just like this in her previous life. She was still unable to wake up, the imperial doctor was helpless, and her grandmother had no child, so she went to the palace to see the Queen Mother in person.
But the precious medicinal materials given by the Queen Mother saved Shen Qiaochen's life, but also destroyed her body.
Queen Mother Lin has always loved the younger generation of her mother's family and would never do such a cruel thing.
Then, the problem must lie in this medicinal material. Since the drowning incident was related to Bai Xiaonian and her daughter, could it be that they had tampered with the medicinal material after it entered the house?
"It seems like this house needs to be tidied up."
Shen Qiaochen said slowly.
