Slap, slap, all slaps 1
When they were almost at the fifth room, a sharp-eyed old woman saw Ling Wan and her group, and hurriedly asked the maid beside her to go back to Yuanxiang Courtyard to report the news, while she herself went up to greet them with a smile.
When Shen Huaian saw the old woman, his face turned cold. He pulled Xu Lingwan and walked sideways towards the corner courtyard where Shen Huaiyin lived.
Ling Wan pulled him back, squatted down, and rubbed his slightly sweaty forehead with a handkerchief. She whispered, "Huai'an, how can you sneak into the master's room without saying hello to the master?"
Then she gave him a look that said "calm down".
"Second Madam, why are you here so late?" The old woman stepped forward and bowed with a smile.
Before she could finish the sentence "What a rare guest," she heard the young and beautiful lady say in a gentle voice, "Should I come or should I report to you?"
This woman was Yao's personal nanny, and the servants in the Shen Mansion all respectfully called her "Mother Sun." Even though Mother Sun was experienced, she was choked by these words and was speechless, and the smile on her face froze.
Killing with a soft knife, this Second Madam is really a powerful character. She thought secretly in her heart.
As soon as she entered the moon-shaped gate of the inner courtyard, she saw Yao and several maids coming out in a panic. When she saw Ling Wan holding Shen Huaian's hand, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face: "I didn't know that the second sister-in-law was here. Xinqin didn't go out to greet her. I hope the second sister-in-law will forgive me."
"Fifth brother's wife, you're too polite. We're all family, so why bother asking for forgiveness?" Ling Wan smiled slightly and pointed at the little bean sprout beside her. "This little naughty boy said he wanted to play with his sixth brother and ninth brother after dinner. I happened to have nothing to do, so I sent him over."
"Fifth brother's wife, do you mind my sudden visit?"
There was no mention of Huai Min pushing Huai An into the water that afternoon. For a moment, Yao Shi was unsure of the second sister-in-law's intentions, so she could only smile and respond, "Of course not. I'm so happy that the second sister-in-law can come."
As they were talking, the group arrived at the main house, where maids served them snacks and tea.
Yao had been secretly watching Ling Wan's expression. Seeing that Ling Wan had a warm face and a gentle tone, and was greeting her as if nothing had happened, she felt relieved.
She thought that what Mother Sun said was right. Which mistress would offend her brother's wife for a concubine's son?
As a result, they became more relaxed during the conversation. Just as they were speaking happily, they heard the stunningly beautiful second sister-in-law change the subject, turning to smile at the bastard beside her: "I was so busy chatting with your fifth aunt just now that I forgot about the main business tonight. Huai'an, go play with your sixth brother and ninth brother."
After saying this, seeing that Yao was about to speak but hesitated, she laughed first: "The children are young and have a strong desire to play, that's fine. Their brotherly relationship is so good, and as their mother, we are happy to see it, right?"
The word "little monkey" just now made Shen Huaian blush slightly. Now, when he heard his stepmother affectionately call him "a little child", his face became even redder. He lowered his head and bowed to take his leave: "Yes, I will go find my sixth brother and ninth brother now."
After saying that, he hurriedly walked out. At this time, Yao couldn't bear it any longer, and hurriedly called him to stop, laughing dryly, "Huai'an, your sixth brother has fallen asleep, you can go to your ninth brother's room and play."
Shen Huaian was shocked. Yao Shi was trying to stop him like this. He wondered what kind of torture Sixth Brother had suffered from her tonight. Just when he was at a loss, he heard his stepmother's surprised voice: "Fifth brother's sister, it's only the beginning of the evening hour, and Huai Yin is already asleep? Could he be feeling unwell? I have to go check on him."
After saying that, he pretended to get up and go out with Shen Huaian.
Seeing this, Yao was very anxious. Madam Sun, who was standing by, stepped to the door and bowed, saying, "Second Madam, the Seventh and Sixth Young Masters are tired from playing today, so they went to bed early."
Then he smiled at Ling Wan and said, "Second Madam, children are full of energy during the day and are very sleepy at night. You see, the Sixth Young Master has gone to bed. Why don't the Seventh Young Master come and play with his Sixth Brother tomorrow?"
Seeing that Ling Wan didn't respond, he didn't sit back either. He just held the Sixth Young Master's hand and looked at her with interest.
Mother Sun felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, knowing that this young lady was not easy to get rid of.
But the mistress of the second house was a new bride after all, and she cared most about her face and reputation, right? So after a moment's hesitation, she looked at Yao and said, "Madam, how about I go and wake up the Sixth Young Master..."
Now that things have come to this, if Huai'an wakes up his elder brother just because his half-brother from the second house is looking for his cousin from the fifth house, it would seem that he is not a "brotherly" person.
In addition, the contrast between the power of the second house and the mediocrity of the fifth house made it seem that she, the mistress of the second house, was too overbearing.
This mother Sun is really amazing.
Chen Yuanyuan sneered in her heart.
At this time, Shen Huaian saw that Ling Wan was silent, and thought that Ling Wan would not take him to see the sixth brother next time, so he hurriedly raised his head and pleaded in a low voice: "Mother."
Ling Wan touched Xiao Dou Miao's head, then held his hand tightly and said softly, "Let's go see your sixth brother."
Seeing such stubbornness, both Mrs. Yao and Mother Sun's expressions changed drastically.
When Mother Sun saw Ling Wan pulling Shen Huaian out, she stopped them at the door in a hurry and said, "Second Madam, the Sixth Young Master is really asleep! You, you can't..."
Qingque, who was following beside her, saw that a servant dared to stop her mistress, and pretended to kick her.
Just as he was about to move his feet, he saw his mistress gently shaking her head at him. Then he saw her turn around and said coldly to Yao: "Fifth brother's wife is really too strict here. She actually allowed a servant to block my way!"
After hearing these words, Mother Sun was so frightened that she immediately knelt down, and Yao's face turned pale.
"Second sister-in-law, Mother Sun was also anxious just now. She, she felt sorry for Huai Yin, so... so..."
"So you can commit a crime under the pretext of 'feeling sorry for Huai Yin'?!" Ling Wan's voice suddenly rose and her tone became cold.
Yao had always been a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Originally, she had not dared to refute Ling Wan's threats. However, she thought that if Shen Huaiyin was seen by Ling Wan and Shen Huaian tonight, all the things that had happened before would be exposed. So she steeled her heart and pretended to be calm, saying, "Second sister-in-law, Huaiyin has gone to bed. Madam Sun is also worried about Huaiyin. If Madam Sun has offended you just now, I will apologize to you on her behalf."
As long as Ling Wan and Shen Huaian were not allowed to see Shen Huaiyin at this time, even if this matter came to the attention of the old lady, others would only say that the second branch was domineering and that she felt sorry for the illegitimate son.
"Second sister-in-law, you have to wake up my fifth room's child to play with him just for your own child. How can this be justified in this world..."
Damn it, Chen Yuanyuan is already annoyed enough with all the twists and turns today.
Now that Mrs. Yao was trying so hard to stop the moral kidnapping in order to prevent her from seeing a child, her temper immediately flared up.
"Shut up!" But before she could storm off, a shout suddenly rang out from behind Mother Sun. Then, accompanied by a roar of anger, Mother Sun was kicked to the ground: "How dare you stop Second Sister-in-law!"
