147 Decision(1/3)
Sister Zhi was better than sister. Chen Wan noticed that Shen's expression suddenly faded.
In the past, Chen Wan knew how much her sister loved Qianhuang, her biological daughter. She also knew that there were some conflicts between mother and daughter recently, but mother and daughter did not have overnight revenge.
Chen Wan smiled slightly, and simply became a peacemaker, and offered to the initiative: "Let Sister Huang come in."
Shen did not scan her sister's face, but just smiled, which was considered a response.
After a while, Chu Qianhuang walked towards this side. She was wearing a fiery red bottle peony patterned bun, a pair of flat buns, and a southern bead hoop. The jade-smoothed and round southern beads shine with a luster in the sun.
Her every move was so decent and calm, generous, and she was as a noble girl from a family.
Chu Qianhuang first invited Shen to the leader, and then smiled and greeted Chen Wan and Gu Zhiyan: "Third Aunt, Qi Niang."
Chu Qianhuang looked as calm as before.
In the past, Shen looked at the eldest daughter and smiled all over her eyes. However, from when, she looked at her, she was left with a sense of fatigue and she didn't want to say anything.
Mrs. Shen simply picked up the teacup and drank tea.
Chen Wan looked back and forth at the mother and daughter, and felt more and more sighing, and was enthusiastic, and asked, "Sister Huang, are you used to living in the palace? Those palace ladies are all looking at people serving food. If you suffer grievances, tell me and your concubine and aunt, don't bear it."
Chu Qianhuang smiled, "Don't worry, aunt, Your Highness the Third Princess is very nice to me."
"I should have come back tomorrow, but the third princess asked me to come back one day earlier and told me to stay at home one more day."
In fact, after looking at Chen Wan, why did Chu Qianhuang go to the palace to be a companion? She was stubborn, but since her niece liked it, she, an aunt, was not suitable for comment.
"The rules in this palace are strict, thank you for your hard work, Sister Huang." Chen Wan sighed, "Big sister, I see that she has lost weight. I have good blood swallows there. I will send some to someone to come later."
Chen Wan was kind, and Shen did not scan her sister's face and said lightly: "Sister Huang, I haven't thanked your aunt yet."
The maids in the main courtyard on the side sighed: the wife was angry with the eldest girl before and refused to see her. They were also uncomfortable when they were servants. This time Princess Jing came forward to be a peacemaker, and it seemed that the mother and daughter could finally let go of their past grudges.
Only Madam Chen clenched the handkerchief and remembered the scene when she saw Chu Qianhuang waiting in the corridor that day.
Madam Chen felt a heavy heart, and kept staring at Chu Qianhuang, and was completely speechless about what they said later.
After lunch, Chen Wan once again offered to take Gu Zhiyan back to the palace.
Gu Zhiyan, who was originally obedient and skillful, immediately made a resistant gesture and grabbed Chu Qianchen's skirt, reluctant to leave.
In this regard, Mama Rong, the wet nurse and the people in the yard have long been accustomed to it.
Gu Zhiyan was almost pressed on Chu Qianchen, and she murmured: "Sister, Yueyue."
The little black cat, who was still eating dried fish, stopped, licked his mouth and nose, gave Gu Zhiyan a look, and started eating again.
Chen Wan couldn't help but look at Chu Qianchen more. This was the case last time she was in Duke Mu's mansion. Her daughter hugged Chu Qianchen's waist and refused to let her go. She had no choice but to let her go when she was unable to deal with her daughter, so she agreed to stay in the Marquis' Mansion.
Chu Qianchen rubbed Gu Zhiyan's hair, "Be good, you should go home."
She stuffed a pumpkin-shaped sachet to Gu Zhiyan. The sachet was filled with spices she specially prepared for Gu Zhiyan. It was embroidered with amber by hand. The flexible and elegant little black cat's four-hoof is snow-white, and it was clearly embroidered in the appearance of the moon shadow.
Gu Zhiyan tightly squeezed the sachet into his hand and smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were crescendo like a crescent moon, and his dark pupils were filled with a pleasant smile.
My daughter's cute and sweet look made Chen Wan's heart melt.
She saw that her daughter couldn't bear to let go of Chu Qianchen and Xiao Heimao, so she said softly: "Qianniang, Mother promises that I'll take you to see my cousin and Yueyue in two days?"
Gu Zhiyan compared two fingers, meaning, two days!
Chen Wan also used her right hand to compare two fingers and stretched out her left hand to Gu Zhiyan.
Gu Zhiyan looked up at Chu Qianchen, and Chu Qianchen gave her an encouragement smile. She finally let go of the hand holding Chu Qianchen's skirt and held Chen Wan's hand.
Chen Wan felt even more excited, and she kept smiling slightly on her face, her movements softly, for fear of scaring her daughter.
Chen Wan looked at Chu Qianchen again and her eyes turned around her face, especially her beautiful and clear phoenix eyes, and felt that these eyes became more and more familiar.
Who do you look like?
Chu Qianchen noticed Chen Wan's scrutiny gaze and smiled generously.
She was not worried about whether Chen Wan would recognize her. Under the current circumstances, even if Chen Wan recognized her, she would not talk too much.
On the contrary, Shen looked at Chen Wan with a little thoughtful look, and was worried that she would recognize Chu Qianchen as the miracle doctor in Jishitang, and spoke out to divert Chen Wan's attention: "San Sister, since you have agreed to Qi Niang, you can't keep your word."
Chen Wan indeed looked away from Chu Qianchen's face and smiled and said, "Sister, I promised Qi Niang, of course I keep my word."
She didn't want Qi Niang to have a grudge against her for this little thing.
Gu Zhiyan didn't know if she understood it, and her eyes drooped, just looking at the little black cat who ate happily.
Chu Qianchen gave Amber a look, and Amber picked up the greedy cat and said with a smile: "County Lord, I will send you with Yueying."
So, Gu Zhiyan finally followed Chen Wan.
Shen also sent Chu Qianchen: "Sister Chen, you can go back and rest too."
Chu Qianchen stood up, and he was blessed and took his leave.
Chu Qianhuang's eyes flashed, and she was still sitting there gracefully, her figure slightly stiff.
As soon as Chu Qianchen went out, as soon as Xiang Fei's curtain was put down, she heard Shen's lukewarm voice coming from the other side of the curtain:
"Kneel down."
In addition to Shen, there were only Chu Qianhuang and Madam Chen in the room. These two words were definitely not what Madam Chen said.
Chu Qianchen's eyelashes, which were as long as a comb, trembled slightly, and his eyes fluttered.
She only stayed for a moment, then continued to walk forward, leaving without looking back.
Inside the curtain, Chu Qianhuang looked at Shen's cold eyes and was shocked.
She slowly got up, and then obediently knelt on the smooth ground as smooth as a mirror.
Madam Chen's eyelids trembled and she quickly retreated, and drove away all the little maids who were serving in the main hall outside, and asked the eldest maid Dongmei to guard the door, and then returned to the next room.
Chu Qianhuang looked at Shen with a blank expression, with a hint of grievance in her expression.
Shen asked in a straightforward way: "On the 27th of last month, did you hear what Madam Chen and I were saying on the day you returned from the palace last time?!"
Shen seemed to be asking, but his expression and tone were very firm. When he asked Chu Qianhuang "did he hear it" in his words, it was actually more like he was asking.
At this time, Madam Chen, who returned to the house, also heard it. She naturally knew that Mrs. Shen was just cheating on the big girl.
Chu Qianhuang was still confused and shook her head, "Mom, I was talking to Ruoxiang in the corridor that day."
"If you don't believe it, just ask Ruoka to ask."
Chu Qianhuang raised her chin and stared at Shen, with a little aggrieved and sad look on her face.
"Mom, you have to deliberately avoid me if you say anything to Madam Chen, and you still have to doubt me now..."
As she said, Wobei Yu's teeth bit her lower lip, making her lip slightly white.
She turned her face to the side, as stubborn as if a blooming rose in the sun, and her temperament was as strong as fire.
Shen stared at Chu Qianhuang with expressionless expression on his face.
She had asked Madam Chen to ask the maids in the yard, whether it was Ruoxiang who was talking to Chu Qianhuang or the few little maids who were cleaning the yard at that time, they all said that after Chu Qianhuang entered the yard that day, she waited in the corridor and did not enter the house.
The maids also knew that Shen and Madam Chen had something to say, so they didn't dare to let anyone in casually.
But even after Madam Chen asked repeatedly, Shen still had a thorn in her heart.
This thorn has been in her heart these days, and it will pierce her from time to time, making her unable to help but think about Mei'er's words.
Even if Chu Qianhuang kneels in front of her like this now, the thorn cannot be pulled out.
"Sister Huang." Shen called out hoarsely.
Chu Qianhuang then looked at her again, and there was a trace of severely suppressed injury on the girl's proud face.
Shen's heart became heavier. She didn't even want to question her daughter like this, but what her daughter did in the past few months really disappointed her.
She took a deep breath and said a decision that had been carefully considered: "I will quit the Queen's position as a companion to the third princess for you. After your second sister gets married, you will go to Shangde Academy to attend class."
What?! Chu Qianhuang's eyes widened in an instant, almost reaching the extreme, and she couldn't believe her ears.
Of course she knew where Shangde Academy was.
The girls in Shangde Academy have no good reputation. They are often unpopular or disliked in the various palaces, as well as those with flawed reputations.
Shen rubbed his eyebrows weakly and said in a deep voice: "Sister Huang, you should be by the way."
"..." Chu Qianhuang felt like she had been stabbed again, and her eyes became bottomless.
Her lips moved and became silent.
Chu Qianhuang didn't speak, and Shen didn't speak.
The mother and son looked at each other quietly, and seemed to be fighting silently.
This silence contains an indescribable depression, which makes people feel heavy and uneasy.
Madam Chen was anxious and looked back and forth at Shen and Chu Qianhuang.
During these days, she watched the mother and daughter go against each other, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Of course she knew that the person who was even more uncomfortable was Shen. Chu Qianhuang's performance hurt Shen even more than Chu Lingxiao. After all, Shen once had high hopes for Chu Qianhuang's biological daughter.
Madam Chen stepped forward two steps and walked to Chu Qianhuang's side, wanting to persuade her not to be so stubborn.
