Chapter 113: Jealousy of Senior Brother
Aunt Wang probably didn't expect Shen Wangshu to attack her without hesitation. She stared at her in disbelief, and for a moment she didn't know which side of her face to cover so as not to look so embarrassed.
"How dare you hit me... You little girl are actually lecturing your elders?" Aunt Wang's well-maintained face was twisted with anger. She thought that after she gave birth to the master's first son, even the mistress of the first house had to give her some face. Now she was being taught a lesson by this new bride who had just entered the Duke's Mansion not long ago. She was so upset that she said, "Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of the first lady, a little girl who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth!!"
She raised her hand and was about to slap back, but Wutong immediately stood in front of her master with an expressionless face, and neatly handcuffed Aunt Wang's hands, holding her firmly.
After slapping him, Shen Wangshu shook his hand and glanced at him with contempt: "My only real elders are my grandmother and my uncle and aunt. What kind of elder are you? Do I recognize you?"
In Aunt Wang's impression, the second wife was gentle and considerate, timid and shy and didn't like to go out. She thought that a few mild insults to her would not cause any harm. But who would have thought that when she saw her today, she was completely different from her impression.
She made a sarcastic remark, and the other party slapped her in the face!
Aunt Wang was furious, but the second wife was someone she couldn't afford to offend openly...
Not far away, the eldest lady who was passing by saw this scene and actually felt a little happy - whether it was because of Shen Wangshu's words "a serious elder" or Aunt Wang's frustrated look.
She was in poor health and had been childless for many years after entering the Duke's Mansion. She finally had a daughter, Chen Zhi, and raised her carefully. Later, no matter how hard she tried, she could not give birth to a son. Aunt Wang had only been in the mansion for half a year, and she gave birth to a son for the master. Although her husband and mother-in-law did not do anything to her for this, the eldest lady was still choked up in her heart.
Wang, relying on the fact that she gave birth to the master's eldest son, acted arrogantly in the backyard, and sometimes looked even more majestic than her, the mistress.
The first lady wanted to get angry many times, but she had no choice but to endure it when she thought of the fact that she had no children. Today, when she saw Wang being criticized, she felt relieved. She felt that the second wife really vented her anger, and she even looked at her with great favor.
Thinking of this, he led his men up to take a good look at Wang's embarrassed look.
"What's going on?" The eldest lady suppressed the corners of her lips that were raised, and asked in a pretended serious manner, "Who is making a loud noise in the mansion? What will happen if someone sees us?"
Wutong used to be the head maid beside the eldest lady, but at this moment, she let the maid go after seeing Shen Wangshu's expression, and followed her master to salute: "Greetings, eldest lady."
"Aunt," Shen Wangshu slid down on his knees and admitted his fault before Wang could speak: "Nian Nian knows that she shouldn't teach the people in your courtyard without permission, but this person was really rude and even said that he would perform the duties of the mistress on your behalf. My niece couldn't stand it, so she said a few words impulsively."
I also hit him a few times.
The eldest lady certainly wouldn't blame her. If it wasn't for the wrong occasion and timing, she would even want to praise her for her good fighting. However, she still had to put on a show of strength: "I am here today, and I will spare you since it is your first offense. Don't be so impulsive next time - it will be bad for you and the reputation of the Duke's Mansion if it gets out."
No one cared about Wang: “…” What? Is their reputation the only thing affected by this incident? What if she actually got slapped twice?
"Madam, I..." She just wanted to speak up to defend herself, but she heard the confidant of the Madam speak up: "I heard that the general's wife has been out to see patients for free these days. Seeing how busy she is, she must have just returned home. Let her go back and rest quickly, and don't let her stay here."
"What about me?" Wang found an opportunity and pointed at her face, which was clearly covered with finger marks. "What about me?"
The eldest lady smiled and said, "You deserve it for being so mean."
“???” Wang thought she had misheard. Normally, the eldest lady was very polite to her for Song Ge’er’s sake. Why did she say such things today?
"Mother said you were going to do a free clinic. I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect you to actually do it. Do you know medicine?" The eldest lady ignored her and looked at Shen Wangshu curiously: "Can you take a look at what's wrong with my body?"
The first lady was extremely anxious and worried about her inability to give birth to a son. She was almost heartbroken. She visited many doctors all over the world, tried all kinds of folk remedies, and took medicine to recuperate - but she just couldn't give birth.
Now she doesn't care whether it's useful or not, she just wants to ask a doctor.
Shen Wangshu nodded: "Okay, but Auntie has to wait until this period is over. I'm busy with other things these days. I'll help you take a look when I'm free."
The first wife was in a good mood and didn't care what she was going to do during this period. She agreed immediately - but in fact, she didn't take it seriously. So many doctors had seen her for this problem and none of them could cure it. What could a girl like the second wife understand?
The eldest lady led the people back, and Shen Wangshu also returned to Xuanji Courtyard.
After being delayed for so long, she was already starving. As soon as she got back, Taohong asked the kitchen to serve her meal. Seeing her mistress eating so happily, she said with emotion, "My lady's appetite has improved a lot since she has been busy."
Shen Wangshu thought to herself, how could one not have an appetite when one is exhausted every day? Besides, she also takes care of her body every day, and her appetite is much better than that of the original owner. After all, the body is the capital of revolution.
Wutong and Lvliu went to rest as soon as they came back. Meixue and Taohong served her dinner. After washing up, she went into the house. Shen Wangshu packed up the things and materials she would need for tomorrow by candlelight. She didn't know when the dragon horn hanging on her body lit up, and how long the man on the other end listened quietly to the movements on her side.
In the dead of night, when Shen Wangshu rubbed her sore eyes and prepared to pack up and go to bed, she discovered that the dragon horn had been emitting a faint golden light - according to her observations over the past few days, the dragon horn was already connected.
"Husband?"
She called out tentatively.
The other end immediately responded: "Yeah."
"......" I don't know how long I have been on the phone, why is this person silent?
Shen Wangshu was inexplicably embarrassed and whispered, “Why don’t you speak?”
"I heard you've been busy... with your senior brother." There was no emotion in the man's voice, but Shen Wangshu knew this man well enough to tell something was wrong even over the phone.
The key point is already in his answer!
"My husband, are you jealous of my senior brother?" she asked softly, and as expected, she heard the other party's retort that he was speaking with a different mind: "I'm not."
"Oh, no." Shen Wangshu deliberately said: "It seems that someone doesn't want to know what happened between me and my senior brother, how we met, and why we are so familiar with each other."
"......" There was silence for a moment, and then the general's gnashing voice came: "Talk to me, ma'am."
