Chapter 273 There's Something Wrong with You
Madam Shen rubbed her forehead, and walked towards Zhumengju with her personal nanny and maid, looking tired.
The night is quiet.
Several lanterns were lit in the chic and elegant courtyard. The doors and windows of the main room were closed, and the window screens were illuminated by the candlelight inside the house, reflecting a faint light.
Madam Shen gathered her cloak, walked up the stairs, and knocked gently on the door.
"Qingyi, are you asleep?"
The room was silent, with no response.
She pushed the door tentatively, but it didn't budge. Apparently, it was locked from the inside.
Mrs. Shen: “…”
What on earth is Shen Qingyi doing?
Knowing that Xiao Wan'er was not feeling well, he still took her away without permission. How could she feel at ease?
She frowned and continued to knock on the door.
"Qingyi, wake up..."
"Madam, the young lady is at an age where she loves to sleep. I'm afraid this little noise won't wake her up. How about letting this old servant knock the door open?"
The nanny walked forward, looked at the closed door, and her eyes fell on Mrs. Shen's back.
"never mind……"
Madam Shen shook her head and sighed, rejecting the proposal.
"It's late at night, it's not good to make such a big noise. If Qingyi is scared, it will be more trouble than good. How about this, I will sleep in Qingyi's room tonight. Please ask Madam to tell my husband."
She stayed here, watching over the two sisters, so that if anything happened, she would be able to find out in time, but she still hoped that nothing would happen.
"yes."
The nanny took the order and turned to go down the stairs. At this moment, the doors of the side rooms on the left and right were pushed open, and several little maids came out together, bowing their heads and nervously bowing to Madam Shen.
"Slave, slave, pay homage to the Madam..."
The maids had their hair loose, their clothes a little messy, and there was still sleepiness in their eyes. It was obvious that they got up after hearing the noise.
The Shen family has no regulations on having a concubine or a bed-sleeping companion. Unless the masters are unwell, servants do not need to keep watch at night.
"Don't be nervous, I'm here to see your lady..."
Madam Shen's eyes swept over them one by one, she smiled lightly and spoke gently.
The mistress was kind, but the maids did not relax and were still very nervous, especially Hua Wu. Don't mention how guilty she felt at the moment.
"By the way, does anyone know how the Third Miss is doing? Has she woken up during the night? Has she had her milk?"
Hearing this, the maids looked at each other and finally all looked at Hua Wu. Several maids beside her even reached out their hands impatiently and secretly pushed her from behind.
Noticing everyone's little movements, Madam Shen's eyes fell on Hua Wu.
Hua Wu quickly lowered her head and replied seriously, "Madam, before the young lady fell asleep, the third young lady did not wake up, nor did she drink milk. However, there is milk in the young lady's room."
Mrs. Shen: “…”
What’s the point of having milk on hand?
Shen Qingyi was sleeping so soundly that even knocking on the door couldn't wake her up. Even if Xiao Wan'er woke up, she probably wouldn't know.
No, it seems like I really can't leave Xiaowan'er to her.
Mrs. Shen regretted her previous decision and planned to have someone break the door open. Hua Wu seemed to see what she was thinking and quickly made a promise.
"Madam, I know you are worried about the Third Young Miss, but please rest assured, I will pay more attention to the Young Miss's room tonight..."
"As long as the Third Young Lady wakes up and makes a noise, this servant will definitely know. I promise that I will never let her go hungry."
Mrs. Shen looked at her doubtfully, "But Qingyi's door is locked. Even if you heard it, how could you get in?"
"Madam, before the young lady went to bed, she specifically told me that the window was not completely closed. If the third young lady wakes up, I should let her in through the window."
Mrs. Shen: “…”
Flip, flip through the window! ! ! !
It is true that like master, like maid. Shen Qingyi is really amazing. She actually took the initiative to instruct her maid to climb through the window.
I wonder if there is any noble lady like her in Kyoto?
I'm so angry.
Madam Shen was so angry that her blood boiled, but she couldn't scold Shen Qingyi in front of so many servants. That girl was very proud. Wouldn't she be very sad to death if she was embarrassed in front of so many people?
Besides, she was sleeping like a dead pig, so she couldn't hear me even if I scolded her, so it would be useless.
Forget it, let’s talk about it tomorrow. Tomorrow she will definitely teach this girl a lesson. She is becoming more and more unruly and willful.
"Okay, that's it, you all go to bed."
Madam Shen waved her hand and walked towards the wing room.
The courtyard gradually became quiet. In the room, Shen Qingyi, who was wrapped in a quilt and pretending to be asleep, breathed a sigh of relief.
She stuck her head out from under the quilt, turned her head to look at the little baby sleeping soundly beside her, then leaned over and gently kissed the little baby's soft face.
"Don't worry, little sister. I'll stay with you tonight and make sure you have milk to drink as soon as you wake up."
Shen Qingyi kept her word and did not sleep a wink all night. Even though she was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes, she still tried her best to stay awake.
The east will be bright and the candles in the house will be burned out.
Shen Qingyi looked out the window, then looked at Shen Wan, yawned and said tiredly, "Little sister, why aren't you awake yet?"
"Please wake up soon, I can't bear it any longer. And, I will definitely come to pick you up after dawn. If I take you away, won't my efforts be in vain?"
“…”
In a daze, Shen Wan heard a voice chattering in her ear. The voice was pleasant and familiar.
Hmm, who is it???
Her consciousness gradually awakened, and when she opened her eyes, she saw an unparalleled beautiful face. The girl had fair bones and skin as white as cream.
However, her beautiful eyes were filled with faint bloodshot and full of fatigue.
The next moment, the girl's eyes suddenly widened and she looked at her with surprise.
"Little sister, are you awake???"
"Wow, I'm really awake. That's great. Thank God..."
Shen Qingyi: "..."
[Sister, you look a little off! ! ! ]
[Oh, that's not right. It seems to be dawn, so why am I in your room?]
[Also, sister, your eyes are as red as a rabbit. Did you not sleep all night? ]
As soon as she woke up, she saw Shen Qingyi like this. Shen Wan was instantly confused, her head was in a mess, and she had no idea what was going on.
On the contrary, Shen Qingyi quickly calmed down.
"Uh, let's talk about this later. Little sister, you must be hungry, right? I'll go get you some milk. You can drink while we chat..."
She has something very important to ask my younger sister for help.
After saying that, Shen Qingyi lifted the quilt and got up from the bed.
Chen Wan did not stop him. She was indeed hungry. Although she was not so hungry that she felt dizzy, her stomach was very uncomfortable.
