Chapter 460: Can’t Just Go Like This
There is a fragrance everywhere in the small town where the Shen family lives.
Baihu and his men also breathed a sigh of relief after entering the city.
Now that we have arrived safely, we don't have to worry anymore.
"Miss, now is Dahe's Seven Fires Festival. Every household here makes a kind of bamboo leaf steamed cake. Would you like me to buy you some in various flavors?" asked a guard.
Bamboo leaf steamed cake?
It sounds pretty good.
"No hurry, let's go to Shen's house first."
Fu Zhaoning was still worried and didn't know what had happened to Old Mrs. Shen.
"Miss, I've sent someone back to tell the story and see what the situation is at home. It would be best if the master could come out to pick you up," said Baihu.
He didn't want Fu Zhaoning to appear in front of the Shen family in such a dusty state.
Because the current Shen family is still quite complicated. If Miss Zhaoning showed up at the door of the Shen family alone, many people would probably look down on her and think she was a poor relative from somewhere.
Even if there are any changes in the future, the grievances and cold treatment suffered at that time are already there.
Baihu felt that her master would not be willing to let her suffer even the slightest bit of injustice.
Fu Zhaoning felt that it was unnecessary, "No need?"
"Ms. Zhaoning, please listen to me."
Eleven and Thirteen also advised, "Yes, Princess, now that we are here, you should listen to Baihu."
They didn't want Fu Zhaoning to be wronged even more.
"Miss Zhaoning, please rest here first and pack up." Baihu took them to an inn and opened two rooms for them to wash up and change clothes.
He took people to buy several kinds of steamed cakes and asked Fu Zhaoning to try them, so that he could relax from his anxious state.
At this time, the Shen family was full of people.
Yu Yuwei, who had been fostered in the Shen family since childhood, looked at her cousins who were of similar age to herself, feeling disdain and a little anxious.
"Yuwei, we saw the servants of the Shen family go to the largest silk shop in the city to get several sets of brand new silk quilts and other things. They were all the most expensive and the best, and they were in the patterns and colors that young girls liked."
A cousin looked at Yu Yuwei with a hint of resentment in her tone.
"Recently, Xixin Garden has been cleaned up. I heard that many precious flowers and plants have been transplanted into it. Those silk quilts are also used in Xixin Garden, right? Besides you, who else in the Shen family can live in Xixin Garden now?"
"That's right. We're not trying to snatch it from you right now. We just want you to take us to Xixin Garden to have a look and sit down. You don't even want to do that?"
"Xiaowei, I never thought you were so unique. We are sisters and relatives!"
Yu Yuwei had been surrounded by these people for a long time.
Since they knew that Xixin Garden had been newly decorated, they wanted to go in and take a look.
After all, Shen Xuan had not allowed anyone to live in Xixin Garden before. They all speculated that there must be rare beautiful scenery in Xixin Garden, or the house must be filled with expensive items collected by Shen Xuan.
Over the years, these people have been spreading the word that Xixin Garden is full of good things.
I can't take it, but it would be nice to go in and broaden my horizons.
Besides, I heard that Xixin Garden has strong winds, so it is the best place to go in and cool off in the summer. They have already moved into the Shen family. Why can't they go in and escape the heat in such a hot summer?
Also, being able to enter Xixin Garden means being liked by Shen Xuan. Among the Shen family, it seems that only Yu Yuwei can live there.
After all, since she was a child, Yu Yuwei has always been intimate with Shen Xuanwei, calling him uncle all the time, and no one else is like her.
Yu Yuwei felt like she had a lot of grievances that she couldn't express. Every time they said that no one else could live in Xixin Garden except her, her heart felt like it was being stabbed.
"I've already told you that I don't live in Xixin Garden. You know where I live, so why don't you believe me?"
"If you don't live here, then get out of the way and let us go in and take a look."
"What's the fuss?"
Not far away, Shen Xuan walked over slowly, followed by Liuhuo.
As soon as these girls saw Shen Xuan, most of them ran away, and only a few were left.
Many of them are a little afraid of Shen Xuan.
"Uncle, they said they wanted to go to Xixin Garden to escape the summer heat. I was just explaining to them that Xixin Garden is your place and it's not convenient for them to go in." As soon as Yu Yuwei saw Shen Xuan, her tone couldn't help but become coquettish.
She always felt that Xixin Garden was redecorated because Shen Xuan wanted to live there himself.
Because it's been so long and no one else has come.
“No one can go in.”
Shen Xuan said this calmly.
One girl mustered up the courage to ask, "Uncle, is this where you live?"
If that was where he lived, it would be difficult for them to get in.
Shen Xuan shook his head, "No."
no?
Yu Yu was stunned.
"master!"
He glanced at the locked gate, then turned back to look at the rapidly approaching sun, his expression slightly changing.
Bai Ri and Hei Yun have always been guarding the old lady in Jingqiu Garden and are not allowed to leave unless it is urgent. Now that he is here, it must be that something has happened to the old lady.
"Master, Doctor Wang asks you to come over immediately!" Bai Ri said to Shen Xuan anxiously.
Shen Xuan no longer cared about Yu Yuwei and the others. He frowned and quickly returned to Jingqiu Garden.
The girls looked at each other.
"Is the old lady finally unable to hold on? She has been holding on for several months and was supposed to die. Uncle Shen Xuan has been asking Doctor Wang to give her acupuncture and medicine to help her hold on to her last breath, but I don't know what the point is."
"That's right. Why not just give up and let the old lady pass away peacefully?"
"I heard that the amount of medicinal materials sent to Jingqiu Garden in the past two months alone was a huge sum of money."
"What a pity! So much money has been spent on medicine that won't have any effect. It's just like throwing a rock into the water. It would be better if it was kept for us to share."
Yu Yuwei listened to what the sisters said and bit her lower lip in anger.
"Yuwei, aren't you closest to your uncle? Why don't you try to persuade him? My father told me that the Shen family is already in serious decline and can't stand any more of this." A girl a few years older than her said to Yu Yuwei in a lecturing tone.
"What are you talking about? That's my grandmother! She's also your great-cousin. Wasn't she good to you when you were little? How can you be so heartless now?" Yu Yuwei stomped her feet.
"It's not that we are unfilial. It's just that people are born, grow old, get sick and die. Uncle Shen Xuan once said that this is a common occurrence in life and we have to take it easy."
"Cousin Huan! Grandma is just sick, maybe she can be cured! I won't tell you anymore, I'll go over and take a look too!"
Yu Yuwei also left them and hurried to Jingqiu Garden.
At times like this, she should stay with her uncle and give him support and comfort.
In Jingqiu Garden, an old man who looked tired but anxious was giving acupuncture to an old lady lying on the bed.
But the old lady was shaking violently.
