Chapter 128 Destiny
During the days that Bai Ying was comatose, Shen Qingyu stayed in the courtyard to take care of Shen Youhong. In order to make a splash at Madam Nan Rong's birthday banquet, Shen Xitong practiced music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and songs day and night.
On the other side, Xiao Jinyue was not far behind. When she saw Shen Xitong practicing so hard, she also put in her best effort, humming softly in the room with her long sleeves fluttering.
Since Shen Xitong didn't bother her, Shen Qingyu naturally had peace of mind. Seeing that Madam Nanrong's birthday party was approaching, she asked Lin Zhi not to drug Bai Ying anymore. She was also relieved that Shen Youhong was protected by Bai Ying when she was not at home.
Nan Rongyan, we will meet again tomorrow. Standing beside the table, Shen Qingyu put down the wolf hair brush in his hand and looked quietly at the man in the painting. The man in white clothes was like a fairy, with an elegant face. He seemed like a god in the sky, so far away, yet so familiar.
As soon as Bai Ying woke up, she naturally knew who had put drugs in her food, causing her to be drowsy for the past few days. She fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes, and the total time she was awake every day was no more than an hour.
She really gave birth to a good daughter, who was so bold as to drug her own mother!
Today, she must beat this unfilial daughter to death!
As soon as Bai Ying got up from the bed, she walked out of the room without combing her hair or changing her clothes, and found Shen Qingyu. In front of the servants in Shen Youhong's courtyard, she started cursing at Shen Qingyu.
Bai Ying scolded her for being disobedient and unfilial, but Shen Qingyu remained calm as she listened, "Mother, Dad is still waiting for his daughter in the front yard. If I make Dad wait for too long, I will be unfilial. It's unfilial no matter what. Mother, please don't make it difficult for me."
Bai Ying was so angry at his careless and indifferent look that she snatched the whisk from a Taoist priest and was about to hit Shen Qingyu. Shen Qingyu winked and Lin Zhi hurried forward to stop Bai Ying. "The second young lady is very filial to you, Madam. During the few days when you were sick, it was the second young lady who took care of the eldest young master without taking off her clothes."
It would have been fine if Lin Zhi hadn't mentioned this, but once she did, Bai Ying felt like she couldn't suppress the rage in her chest anymore. Her eyes glared with anger, and she no longer had the grace and elegance that a lady from a noble family should have. She no longer cared about etiquette or manners, and simply pushed Lin Zhi away and chased after Shen Qingyu, shouting and beating her.
How could she be sick!
That was drugged by his own daughter!
She had been sleeping in bed for several days and nights. If people told others that she had been sleeping in bed for several days and nights, no one would believe that the dignified Madam Shen had fallen for a 14-year-old girl.
"Shen Qingyu, stop right there!"
Bai Ying roared angrily, his face was ferocious and his hair was disheveled.
"Dad, why are you here?" Seeing that Bai Ying was about to hit him, Shen Qingyu cleverly called out to Shen Chuanhe. Bai Ying's hands paused, and Shen Qingyu took the opportunity to escape from Shen Youhong's yard.
"Mom, if it weren't for this, wouldn't it be tiring for you to chase your daughter around all day, yelling and fighting?"
The sarcastic remarks made her even more furious. She realized that she had been fooled and yelled, "Stop right there, you unfilial daughter! It's no use yelling at anyone this time!"
"Madam, what are you doing?" Shen Chuanhe waited for Shen Qingyu for a long time but she didn't show up, so he walked over to look for her. But what he saw was Bai Ying who looked so angry that she was almost crazy. He wondered what these mother and daughter were up to so early in the morning.
Bai Ying had been married to Shen Chuanhe for more than ten years. She had always been dignified and noble, and she knew how to behave. But today she acted like a shrew, scolding and acting cruelly. Shen Chuanhe was shocked and stood there in a daze. He could not believe that this ferocious woman was his noble and proud wife.
Only the second young lady could make a noble and dignified lady angry like a mad woman. Aunt Xu secretly praised her in her heart. When the second young lady became cruel, she would not even care about her own mother. Her cold temperament was really scary.
"master……"
When Bai Ying saw that it was the real Shen Chuanhe, she screamed. It seemed that she could not accept that her impression in Shen Chuanhe's heart had plummeted. Then, she started to cry loudly, like a madman.
"Master, it seems that the eldest young master's illness... Alas, it has tortured the lady into this state. I feel so sad when I see it."
Because Shen Qingyu had previously asked Aunt Xu to do her best to keep Bai Ying's position as the wife of the Shen family, Aunt Xu still had to say a few good words for Bai Ying.
Shen Youhong is Bai Ying's only son. He is seriously ill and there is no cure. It is inevitable that Bai Ying would be in this state after losing her beloved son. When Shen Chuanhe thought this way, he naturally would no longer blame Bai Ying for his misconduct.
"Madam, do your best and leave the rest to fate."
After all, he is his own legitimate son, so Shen Chuanhe is still a little sad. However, Shen Chuanhe is not the only son of Shen Youhong. Even if Shen Youhong is gone, he still has Shen Youxing, and maybe he will have more heirs in the future.
"You guys, help the lady into the house quickly."
He comforted Bai Ying with a few words, then had someone help Bai Ying in.
"Master, the eldest lady sent someone to urge us."
Today is Madam Nan Rong's birthday banquet. Shen Xitong had washed and dressed early and was now sitting in the sedan chair, waiting and waiting, but Shen Qingyu didn't come out. How could she not be anxious?
Shen Qingyu was indifferent, but Shen Xitong sent people to urge her one after another within the time it took to finish a cup of tea. It seemed that she was extremely anxious, as if if she was a moment late, her Master Nanrong would become someone else's husband.
"Dad, I'll take my leave first."
After Shen Qingyu finished her greetings and took a few steps, she saw Shen Chuanhe smiling kindly and calling her, "Qingyu, Daddy will take you to the gate of the mansion."
When she went to Yuntaishan Tea House to investigate the Shen family's new tea, she didn't see Shen Chuanhe being so concerned. Now, for Shen Xitong's marriage, he actually personally sent her to the main gate. This honor was really ironic.
Walking from the inner house of the Shen family to the outside of the mansion, Shen Chuanhe told Shen Qingyu about Madam Nanrong's daily preferences one by one, such as what kind of tea Madam Nanrong likes to drink, what kind of flowers she likes, what kind of flavor of food, what color of clothes and so on. Shen Qingyu naturally took note of them secretly. After all, it is not impossible for Madam Nanrong to become her mother-in-law in the future. It is always right to know yourself and your enemy.
Therefore, in order for Shen Xitong to enter the Nanrong Mansion, Shen Chuanhe had indeed made a lot of efforts in secret, currying favor with Master Nanrong and trying to please Madam Nanrong. Each of these cost a lot of money.
"Third brother, don't worry, I'm here."
Shen Ruyan was sitting in the sedan chair and lifted the curtain when she said this. Shen Chuanhe's face darkened and he thought to himself, I am worried because you are here.
Nanrong Mansion is located on the West Street of Jinling Prefecture, occupying the most prosperous area. In fact, it is only a few streets away from the Shen family. It is neither far nor near. After all, the entire Jinling Prefecture is only this big. It only takes half a day to walk from the East Gate to the West Gate.
