"Madam, please get up quickly. This is just a trivial matter and not worth mentioning."
Shen Yuyao hurriedly helped the woman up and spoke softly.
When the woman stood up, Shen Yuyao suddenly felt her vision blurry.
She had indeed put in some effort just now and had also drunk some wine, so it was inevitable that she was tired all over.
Shen Yuyao managed to stand firmly. She nodded slightly and asked Zisu to take out some silver and give it to the woman.
Unexpectedly, the woman refused to accept it.
"I can't repay your great kindness, sir. How dare I take your money again?" The woman said respectfully to Zi Su.
"This is a kindness from my prince... master. Although the child has been saved, he still looks very weak and will definitely need some time to recuperate." Zi Su stuffed the silver into the woman's hand again.
The woman kept shaking her head, saying that she felt unworthy of it and refused to accept it.
Shen Yuyao smiled slightly, walked up to the woman and said, "Look, the child has been rescued and woken up. If you insist on not accepting money, what if the child is in danger again? Isn't that making me unkind and unjust?"
"Yes, just accept it. This is a gift from my young master." Zi Su also persuaded.
Shen Yuyao also said sincerely: "Besides, I have observed that Madam has always been polite and considerate. I think she must not be an ordinary family. Madam, please don't refuse anymore. Don't let the child down."
From the capital to Yanjing, and then from Yanjing back to the capital.
Along the way, Shen Yuyao witnessed too much suffering of ordinary people.
She should have developed a heart of stone long ago, but the more she saw, the softer her heart became.
He really is someone who cannot bear to see the sufferings of the world.
"Then, sir, could you please leave your name behind? When I find my husband in the capital, I will definitely find you and repay you double!"
The woman then took the silver that Zi Su kept stuffing into her. Her eyes were red and she asked Shen Yuyao with gratitude.
"My young master never expects anything in return for his kindness." Zi Su handed the buns she had bought from the store to the woman. "Eat these buns quickly. I bet you're starving."
"Madam, this is a perfectly normal thing. You don't need to worry about it. If you really want to repay me, then when you meet someone in need, if you are able, try to help them. That will be your repayment."
After Shen Yuyao finished speaking, she pulled Zi Su and quickly walked out of the crowd.
"Miss, why do you suddenly have to leave in such a hurry?"
Shiso is a little strange.
"I feel like there's something strange going on among the crowd. Now that the boy has been revived, we'd better leave quickly."
Shen Yuyao said in a low voice.
After saying that, he turned his head to look at Zi Su, but saw that she was a little hesitant.
Shen Yuyao knew that Zi Su was still worried about the mother and daughter, so she comforted her and said, "Don't worry, Master Tang will take care of the aftermath."
Zi Su nodded, took two steps at a time, and followed closely behind her.
After walking a few steps, Shen Yuyao paused, turned around and looked in the direction of the restaurant, and said softly: "It is indeed so."
As the sky grew darker, the number of pedestrians on the street began to decrease, and occasionally you could see some shops closing.
Tang Wei stayed in the restaurant, and the little guard followed Shen Yuyao and Zi Su not far away.
Shen Yuyao looked at the twinkling lights of thousands of houses in front of her, then turned around to look at the crowds of people behind her.
A cool breeze blew across my face.
How long can such peaceful and comfortable days last?
......
The next day, at the Duke’s Mansion.
Shen Yuyao was tidying up Madam Shen's clothes in the backyard when Ling Xiao, Madam Shen's personal maid, walked in.
"Miss, the servant in the front yard came to report that the reward from the Crown Princess has arrived." Ling Xiao smiled.
Although Madam Shen is now unconscious, the Crown Princess in the palace still misses Madam Shen so much and never forgets to send her her favorite cakes every week.
Since the death of the Empress, the Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty has never appointed a new Empress.
He turned around and handed over all the power of the harem to the Crown Princess Lu.
Thus, the Crown Princess Lu has now become the real mistress of the harem of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Therefore, as Madam Shen's personal maid, Ling Xiao always feels honored.
"The Crown Princess, she sends someone to deliver Madam's favorite cakes every week. She's so thoughtful."
No wonder the whole capital is full of praises about the virtuous Crown Princess Lu.
Shen Yuyao curled the corners of her lips and raised her eyebrows.
"Is it the same as the one you sent in the past?" she asked casually.
Since it can be sent to the Duke's Mansion, it must have passed the inspection of Xu Yunxuan's "East Factory".
Shen Yuyao thought that today's pastries should be the same as before.
The pastries had been replaced by Xu Yunxuan before they were delivered to the Duke's Mansion.
"Yes, Miss." Ling Xiao replied with a smile, "The style and quantity of the pastries are exactly the same as before, and they are all the ones that Madam likes to eat."
"Well, that's good." Shen Yuyao nodded slightly and continued to tidy up the collar and sleeves for Mrs. Shen.
Madam Shen looked bewildered, and she looked very distant towards Shen Yuyao and Ling Xiao in front of her.
It was as if the two people in front of her had nothing to do with her.
Early this morning, Zi Su was called away by Xia Xiaoxian's siblings, and no one knew what she was busy with.
Shen Yuyao personally came to the backyard Zen room to help Madam Shen with her makeup and clothes.
She did it very slowly and carefully.
Seeing Shen Yuyao working so seriously, Ling Xiao felt warm in his heart.
She bowed to Shen Yuyao and said softly, "Miss, I will go to the front yard to get those cakes and bring them back to Madam while they are still fresh."
"Go ahead."
Before leaving, Ling Xiao shook his head and muttered to himself, "The eunuch who used to deliver cakes has actually been promoted. Today, a new eunuch has come. I have to take double the red envelope as a return gift."
"Wait!" Shen Yuyao called her, "Ling Xiao, what did you say?"
"Miss, Madam once instructed the palace to send the eunuchs who were rewarded. The mansion always returns the gift with a small red envelope. If it is the first time for the eunuch to come to the Duke's Mansion, an extra one will be given."
"You mean, the eunuch who came to deliver the reward today is not the same one as before?" Shen Yuyao asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, ever since the Crown Princess sent the cakes as a gift to Madam, it was always the young eunuch Wang from the Eastern Palace who came. But today, a different eunuch came. I don't know him and haven't even asked his last name yet."
Ling Xiao was a little surprised. Why did the young lady look so gloomy?
"Well, go and bring all the cakes sent from the palace here quickly." Shen Yuyao said with a serious expression.
Ling Xiao had never seen Shen Yuyao so serious and solemn before, so he didn't dare to delay. He responded quickly and hurried to the front yard.
