Si Xi was a good maid and very considerate of others. However, when she went to the water room to ask someone to bring water, she saw Qiao Er and Ren Dong also coming, and then she realized how unreliable her idea was.
She felt embarrassed for Aunt Zhao. She had been to three gardens in a row and encountered this incident every time!
Fortunately, after she ordered the water to be delivered, when she returned to the garden, she heard no noise in the house, so she quickly reported that Aunt Zhao had come.
Although Shen Chaodong was still somewhat dissatisfied and wanted to hold the young lady tenderly for a while, he could not resist Liu Wanyun's insistence on getting up. By the time the two of them had washed up and came out, Aunt Zhao was almost crying from waiting.
After listening to her general narration, Shen Chaodong frowned and said, "Since the matter is so urgent, why doesn't Auntie go to find mother and ask her to send someone to find her quickly!"
His face was expressionless and his tone was stiff, as if someone owed him tens of thousands of taels of silver. Aunt Zhao shrank back, feeling inexplicably frightened, and looked at Liu Wanyun helplessly.
"Brother Dong, this matter could be a big or small matter. We don't know the details yet. If we tell Mother directly, everyone in the mansion will know about it. Sooner or later, it will spread outside and affect Sister Ruonan's reputation."
As Liu Wanyun spoke, she quietly pinched his arm to soothe his bad mood after waking up.
"For this matter, you three brothers should go in person, bring as few people as possible, and try not to let anyone know what's going on. Once you find the person, bring him back quietly."
After they left, Liu, Guan and Zhang took Aunt Zhao to Jingxinzhai and asked her to play mahjong with them to distract their attention. However, the three of them could not understand the heart of a mother, and Aunt Zhao could not concentrate on playing cards at all.
I could only sit by his side anxiously.
It was not until noon that Shen Chaodong sent someone back and asked them to go to the south city gate.
When they arrived, the three Shen brothers were standing by the road with a carriage parked nearby.
Looking from a distance, the three men had outstanding figures, one in black, one in blue, and one in purple, all of them were very handsome. In addition, their three identical faces attracted a lot of people to watch.
However, Boss Shen had a cold face and looked as if he was keeping strangers away.
Although Shen Lao Er had a smile on his face that made people feel like spring breeze, he stood there without looking around.
Shen Laosan was a little ostentatious. When others looked at him, he looked back without hesitation, as if he was afraid of being taken advantage of. He also looked around.
Zhang Xinyue got out of the car and saw what Shen Laosan did at a glance. She said with some displeasure, "Shen Chaobei, what are you looking at? Your eyeballs are about to fall out!"
This shout startled Shen Lao San. He hurried forward and took Zhang Xinyue's arm in a somewhat flattering manner, "Yue'er, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you for so long. I just saw someone coming out of the shop over there. The things he was holding looked good. I'll take you to buy them."
The two of them walked away hand in hand, laughing and joking as they walked.
"Did you just look at the pretty sister?"
"No~"
"It's okay, just watch. I'm not angry. I also want to see a good-looking brother."
…
Guan Xiaoyu got out of the car and without saying a word, she grabbed Shen Laoer and left.
"My wife?"
"Let me take you to see some street performers!"
…
Only Boss Shen was left standing there. He glanced at Liu Wanyun and Aunt Zhao, then glanced at the carriage beside him. The meaning was self-evident.
Ruonan is in the carriage.
"She said she wanted to go to the countryside to relax."
Liu Wanyun nodded and let Aunt Zhao go to the carriage by herself, while she stood aside with Shen Chaodong and waited.
"Brother Dong, where did you find her? Was there anyone else with her?"
Shen Chaodong looked at the inn not far away, "There was no one else, but she didn't leave at first and had to wait until after noon."
Liu Wanyun understood instantly that she had made an appointment to elope with someone, but was stood up.
She was gritting her teeth to pieces. The next time she saw the young master of the Zhou family, she would have someone beat him up. Since he couldn't do it, why did he make a promise casually and hurt a girl's heart for no reason?
I don't know how long I waited before Aunt Zhao got off the carriage. Her face didn't look very good, but her expression was very firm, as if she had made a great decision.
She walked up to Liu Wanyun and the others and pleaded, "Thank you, Master and Madam. Please don't tell Madam about this. If Ruonan wants to visit her grandmother, let her go. I will report this to Madam."
"But, please ask the young master to send someone to escort us all the way to ensure our safety."
Liu Wanyun asked, "Auntie isn't going with us?"
According to her previous understanding, Aunt Zhao's family conditions should not be very good. Ruonan going alone? Can she endure such hardship?
Aunt Zhao shook her head. "Let her go on her own. After a few days of hardship, she'll figure everything out."
Before leaving, Liu Wanyun met her and saw that her eyes were red and swollen. She knew that she must have been crying for a long time, so she comforted her with a few words.
Finally, a reliable maid was found for her from the mansion. Ruonan took her own maid with her, and the three of them, master and servant, left the city.
She watched her daughter's carriage silently until it disappeared from her sight, and then Aunt Zhao returned home with a lonely look on her face.
No one knew where the other two pairs had gone, so Boss Shen sent someone to look for them and told them to gather at Zuixianlou for dinner.
There was a distance from the south gate of the city to Zuixianlou, so he and Liu Wanyun got in a carriage and left first.
Not long after walking, Shen Chaodong suddenly asked, "Which young master is this?"
Liu Wanyun was stunned for a moment before she understood what he was asking. Indeed, anyone with a reasonable level of intelligence would have been able to guess the answer from her conversation with Aunt Zhao.
However, she thought it was better not to admit it, so she played dumb and said, "What young master? Brother Dong, what are you talking about?"
Shen Chaodong stared into her eyes with a firm look, "Tell me, and then find someone to beat him up!"
Liu Wanyun chuckled, "Brother Dong, don't you really dislike Aunt Zhao? Why are you still so concerned about her?"
“She is her, but Ruonan’s surname is Shen, and she is her father’s daughter.”
"Okay, okay, I get it. You're worried about your sister. Now, I'm telling you, you can't tell anyone else! No one!"
After getting the assurance, Liu Wanyun whispered in his ear who the person was.
Later, after Shen Chaodong inquired, he found out that the reason why Mr. Zhou did not come was that he was discovered when he was leaving the house, and someone told Mrs. Zhou. Then Mrs. Zhou threatened to commit suicide to prevent him from leaving. When Mr. Zhou found out, he was beaten and finally locked up.
When I went out after my injury healed, I was beaten again for no apparent reason. In short, I stayed in bed at home for more than half a month!
These are things that happened later and are not very important.
The carriage stopped at Zuixianlou. After getting off, Liu Wanyun looked at the restaurant in front of her and still felt a little embarrassed.
She had just gotten into an embarrassing situation here a few days ago, so she wondered why this man had brought them here to eat again? Didn't he already buy a building and say he was going to open his own? Besides, it was already past lunchtime!
Chen Chaodong extended his hand to her, motioning for her to take it. When the two of them entered the restaurant, she saw Guan Xiaochun and the shopkeeper standing inside, as well as the two drunks from that day, and...
