Chapter 118 The Rich and Powerful Brother
"This is not my home." Aunt Feng sighed: "Madam Shen is kind-hearted, and there is nothing to hide. Madam Shen saved me when I fainted on the roadside before. At that time, I was driven out by my daughter."
Shen Heng had already guessed it and was not surprised.
"I've been in the palace since I was young. If I leave now, I'll be a stranger back home. Even if I have relatives, they'll be no different from outsiders. It's better for the emperor to buy a small house like this for me to live in until I'm old," Nanny Feng said with a smile, having come to terms with it. "At this age, I don't have many days left to live."
Judging from the looks of it, Nanny Feng had probably dedicated her entire life to the palace, yet she didn't even have any offspring. Thinking of Liu Zhiyue's previous actions, Shen Heng could guess that, given Liu Zhiyue's personality, she was probably afraid of being seen through by those around her mistress.
Not to mention Nanny Feng, I guess even the personal servants have been replaced.
Like when she first came to Dacong, didn't she spend a lot of time trying to make her transformation look natural?
Time travel and rebirth are nothing new to modern people. They have seen it many times and can adapt to it very well. But for the ancients, if they suddenly became another person, they would probably live a life of nervousness. The best way was to replace everyone around them and cultivate confidants.
"Madam Feng will surely live a long life," Shen Heng consoled her.
Aunt Feng rarely smiled with crow's feet. She hadn't heard such comforting words for a long time: "Madam Shen is a good person. She will definitely be blessed in the future."
The two chatted for a while before Shen Heng left.
When Shen Heng arrived home, only her sister-in-law was there, looking around the clean and tidy yard.
"Aheng is back. I'm thinking of planting some vegetables under the wall. What do you think? Mei'er went to buy vegetables. She said the vegetables here are too expensive." Xia felt distressed when she thought about having to buy rice and vegetables in the future, which would be another huge expense.
"Okay. Sister-in-law, you're the boss." Chen Heng didn't have any idea about these things. She didn't know much about housework before, and after coming here, she learned it from Xia.
"Aheng, this Mei'er is quite hardworking. I've never seen her rest since she got up early in the morning." Xia was quite pleased with her and then sighed, "I just said that my family can't afford a maid, and she knelt down and told me that she had lost both parents and was helpless. She just wanted a place to live and a hot meal. She burst into tears as she spoke. It was really pitiful. How much monthly salary do you plan to give her?"
It seems Mei'er is determined to stay here. Xie Jian said to play along, but he didn't know what his plan was. Chen Heng asked, "How much do you think is appropriate, sister-in-law?"
"Since the house is also rented, can I give you three hundred coins?" Together with the rent of the house, she took one or two coin. Xia felt distressed, but in fact, she could do all the housework.
Chen Heng thought for a moment and said, "Whatever sister-in-law says is fine. Sister-in-law, Mei'er is just doing housework. We won't talk to her about anything else."
"There's nothing much to say." Xia said with a smile.
As the two were talking, the courtyard door suddenly opened, and a cute little girl, about six or seven years old, dressed in gorgeous clothes, ran in. When she saw the two people in the courtyard, tears welled up in her bright eyes. "Mother, Auntie." As she spoke, she threw herself into Xia's arms, who was still in shock, crying, "Mother, I miss you so much."
Xia looked at the child in her arms in disbelief and squatted down: "Min, Min'er?"
"Mother, I'm Min'er."
Xia was hesitant to acknowledge him. It was her son, but he looked so noble and elegant that he didn't look like her Min'er at all. Others thought he was a noble family's child. But when they realized it was really her son, tears welled up in her eyes and she hugged him tightly, "Min'er, my son."
When Chen Heng and Min'er pushed the door open, they recognized them. They recalled those modern short videos about the huge difference between raising children in the city and in the countryside. They didn't expect it to be true and not deliberately acted out.
Look at Min'er in front of you, a typical rich and noble boy.
