Even worse, as this girl said, she might even be given the power to manage the household. Heaven knows she has the title of mistress of the house, but to this day, the power to manage the household affairs is still in the hands of the old lady, making her unable to hold her head high in front of outsiders.
"Okay! I'll go myself."
After patting Shen Qiyin's hand, Madam Shen got up and left excitedly, seemingly already envisioning herself successfully rescuing Shen Cang and being respected and loved by everyone in the mansion.
Shen Qiyin watched her retreating figure, his gaze as cool as the late autumn evening outside the window, as the sun set.
Mother, you are weak by nature and couldn't protect me in this cannibalistic mansion. I don't blame you, but why! Why did you join those people in harming me? Why did you trample on my flesh and blood to pave your own path to power?!
The bond between mother and daughter has ended; in this life, it is her turn to send her mother on her final journey.
But this is just the beginning. She will not let any member of the Shen family go!
At this moment, a dark-skinned, thin maid with bright, clear eyes walked in: "Miss."
The moment she saw the honeysuckle, the icy coldness in Shen Qiyin's eyes vanished, and a rare hint of warmth appeared.
During the three years she was bedridden in her previous life, her family members and blood relatives not only did not try their best to treat her, but even wished for her to die sooner, so as not to spread rumors that the Shen family had a useless young lady who was half dead.
When she was sent to the estate, only Ren Dong stayed by her side to the death, gathering herbs and brewing medicine, washing and cleaning her body, taking care of her in every possible way.
To treat her injuries, Ren Dong even tested the medicine on herself, nearly dying several times.
Without the honeysuckle of yesteryear, there would be no Chenxi marriage today!
"Miss..." Seeing that her mistress was not saying anything, but just staring at her with red eyes, Ren Dong hurriedly tried to wipe away her tears: "What's wrong?"
She abruptly lowered her gaze to conceal the emotions in her eyes, and shook her head slightly to indicate that she was alright.
She took Ren Dong's hand and examined her closely. Suddenly, a voice came from outside, growing louder as it approached: "Miss, it's time for dinner."
Banxia strode into the house, her relaxed expression suddenly changing when she saw the honeysuckle inside.
She then casually stepped forward, pretending to slip between Shen Qiyin and Ren Dong, and said to Shen Qiyin with a sweet smile, "Miss, please just tell me what you need."
Before Shen Qiyin, the mistress, could speak, she turned her head and arrogantly reprimanded Ren Dong, saying, "Miss only took pity on you and took you back to the manor to give you a place to stay."
"You think you're worthy to serve Miss personally?" she said, shoving Ren Dong aside. "Go away, go wait in the corridor!"
Banxia, relying on her childhood service to Shen Qiyin and her secret orders from the old lady, openly and secretly made things difficult for Rendong.
When Shen Qiyin found out, he would inevitably discipline her, which made Banxia resentful. While she and Rendong were struggling to make ends meet in the manor, she did a lot of things to make things difficult for them.
Pulling herself out of her reverie, Shen Qiyin raised her hand to stop Banxia from shoving Rendong. Sure enough, she saw a fleeting look of displeasure cross Banxia's face as she muttered under her breath, "The old lady said that serving closely is the job of our head maid. Miss, you mustn't break the rules..."
