Chapter 48 Emotions
"No."
After hearing this, Shen Yuehuai finally felt relieved: "Then let's eat first?"
Shen Sangsang thought about it and nodded: “Well, okay.”
Just then, Xu Jie appeared at the door and whispered through the screen, "Boss Shen."
Shen Yuehuai looked through the screen. After seeing the figure at the door, he whispered, "Come in." Then, he withdrew his gaze and said to Sangsang, "I'll go get busy first."
Shen Sangsang nodded.
After Shen Yuehuai walked out from behind the screen, Shen Sangsang also got out of bed. She took a coat from the hanger and put it on. Then, she looked outside the screen again.
After Xu Jie entered the room, he said, “Boss Shen, the old lady sent someone over.”
Shen Sangsang’s hand fell on the corner of her clothes.
The voice outside the screen was Shen Yuehuai's. He only answered with one word: "Okay."
Then there was the sound of his footsteps leaving the room, and Xu Jie naturally followed him out.
Only Shen Sangsang and a servant were left in the room.
At this moment, the servant walked into the screen and said to Shen Sangsang, who had not moved, “Madam, wash up and have breakfast.”
After Shen Sangsang heard what the servant said, she withdrew her gaze and then went to the bathroom.
The reason why Old Lady Shen sent someone here must be because of that marriage, she guessed in her heart.
After Shen Yuehuai walked out of the room and came outside, the person sent by Old Madam Shen also happened to walk to the door.
The person who came was Xijie: "Yue Huai."
Xijie is considered an old servant by Old Madam Shen's side, and can be considered as half a wet nurse to Shen Yuehuai, so Shen Yuehuai has always been polite to her.
Regarding Xijie's arrival, he asked, "Is mother feeling better?"
Xijie replied, "I've been recuperating for a while now, and I've gotten better."
Shen Yuehuai felt relieved when he heard it.
The younger sister asked again, "How about you?"
The younger sister was naturally asking about Shen Sangsang and the child.
Shen Yuehuai replied: "Both the children and the adults are pretty good."
After hearing this, Xijie asked again, "Her illness..."
"Nothing." In response to Xijie's concerns, Shen Yuehuai replied calmly.
When Xijie heard this, she didn't ask any more questions.
Shen Yuehuai asked again: "I heard that my eldest brother went back to the old house some time ago."
Xijie also came today for this matter: "Yes, your eldest brother has never agreed to Xiaozhou's matter."
There was a hint of hidden emotion in Xijie's voice.
After hearing this, Shen Yuehuai simply asked, "What are Mother's plans?"
"The old lady sent me here today just for this matter. She said...your eldest brother disagrees with Xiaozhou's matter, so let's just drop it."
Shen Yuehuai had already guessed this outcome, and he replied, "Then mother, please relax. Although Xiaozhou's matter is a family matter, it is after all related to the eldest branch of the family, so it is not easy for one person to decide."
"Yes." The younger sister replied while thinking about something.
"What's wrong."
"Your eldest brother said... that he wanted to reinvestigate Xiaozhou's death."
After hearing what Xijie said, the expression on Shen Yuehuai's face changed subtly.
Shen Sangsang walked out of the room, went to the door, and looked outside quietly.
She saw Shen Yuehuai standing by the flower pond. Because his back was to her and the light was against him, she couldn't see his face. She only saw him standing there in silence for a long time. And she had naturally heard everything he had just said to Xijie.
"This matter is not a glorious one. After all, Xiaozhou's gambling debts have not been paid off yet. If we reinvestigate it, it will only affect the family business. Do you still want to investigate, brother?" Shen Yuehuai stood there and asked in a calm voice.
The younger sister said, "That's what your eldest brother meant. The old lady asked what you think. After all, this is within your territory. If they want to investigate, they might have to close it down, which would affect you."
When Xijie asked about this matter, Shen Yuehuai remained silent subconsciously, but this time the silence was much longer than before.
After thinking for a minute or two, he replied, "If Big Brother insists on investigating, then I can only cooperate. But before that, let him think about what to do with Xiaozhou's gambling debts."
Xijie sighed, "Really? Gambling in their own casino, they lost most of the Shen family's assets to others. This is really outrageous. Now that he's dead, they're still investigating and stirring up trouble again. In my opinion, this child's death is not a pity. It's entirely because your eldest brother didn't raise him well. Now the old lady is worried about their eldest wife, afraid that he will die too early, and his grave will be lonely and miserable. But over there, it's as if the old lady wanted to kill a dead person."
There was a huge complaint in Xijie's words, and Shen Sangsang, who was standing at the door, pursed her lips into a straight line after hearing what Xijie said.
Outside the door, Shen Yuehuai didn't show any expression on his face regarding Xijie's complaints, but he spoke out at the right time to stop Xijie's behavior: "You can say such things in front of me, but don't say them in front of outsiders, otherwise it will get to my eldest brother's ears."
His voice wasn't harsh, but the emotion in his words wasn't very relaxed either.
As soon as he finished speaking, Xijie instantly realized what she had just said.
She quickly lowered her head and said, "Yes, I made a mistake. How could an old servant like me say such things? Please don't take it to heart."
The younger sister apologized.
"Well, let's put an end to this. Mother can't leave you. Please go back soon."
The younger sister, who had been a little speechless for a moment, didn't dare to say anything more. She nodded hurriedly: "Okay, then you take care of yourself, I'll go back first."
"Um."
Xijie came in a hurry and naturally left in a hurry.
After Xijie left, Shen Yuehuai stood there without moving, his eyes gazing into the distance at the highest mountain.
Xu Jie, who had been standing aside without saying anything, asked, "What do you think about this matter?"
Shen Yuehuai was about to speak, but when he lowered his eyes, he saw the shadow under his feet shaking, so he turned around and looked behind him.
Shen Sangsang was standing at the door, looking at him, but her expression was calm, without any panic on her face.
When Xu Jie saw the person standing at the door, he was a little surprised, and his originally calm eyes deepened a little.
Shen Yuehuai had a relaxed smile on his face. He asked, "Why are you standing there?"
Shen Sangsang didn't say anything, but just stood there watching.
Shen Yuehuai turned around and walked towards her. When he reached her, he stopped and said, "It's very cold today. Let's go in first."
He held her hand and led her into the room.
Shen Sangsang naturally left with him. When the two of them walked into the room, Shen Yuehuai took her to sit at the dining table.
He asked, "Did you hear everything I just said?"
He didn't seem to intend to hide anything from her about family matters.
Then he added, "You and Xiaozhou must have met quite a few times."
He said this.
After hearing this, Shen Sangsang lowered her eyes and whispered, "We've met quite a few times. We were in the same university."
Shen Yuehuai said in a chatty tone: "Yes, you are the same age. Xiaozhou used to be quite obedient and affectionate to me, but I don't know what happened in the past two years, and he picked up some bad habits."
When Shen Yuehuai said this, there was a hint of regret on his face.
