Chapter 42 Pros and Cons
The atmosphere in the Jinchun Hall was harmonious. After the laughter, the old lady looked at Shen Qing: "Where is the girl you mentioned? Go and call Aunt Zhao out to recognize her."

Shen Qing winked at Cuiwen and asked her to bring Wan Qiuyu over.

The specific situation, Shen Qing had already told the old lady in the letter, now, only Aunt Zhao needs to recognize the person.

Aunt Zhao is a few years older than Shen Qing, and she is an honest person who doesn't have a high sense of presence in the family.

Because Shen Qing is not someone who embarrasses concubines, although Aunt Zhao also gave birth to a son, she has confidence, but she is not the kind of person who will make troubles in the house.

Under normal circumstances, the aunts of the three masters in the mansion are not even qualified to greet the old lady on weekdays.

Aunt Zhao was nervous when she heard that her suspected biological daughter had been found and asked her to identify her.

In Wan Qiuyu's previous life, no matter before entering the palace or after entering the palace, what he was best at was pleasing men.Her words, deeds, and manners are all in accordance with the man's preferences.

On the way back to the capital, she flattered Shen Qing, and Shen Qing didn't hesitate to give her a few words, and gave her some advice on external aspects such as her words, deeds and dressing.

Dressing can be changed, but what has been accumulated in the bones cannot be changed for a while.

Even though Wan Qiuyu walked in with her head down, looking peaceful and peaceful, the old lady above still frowned.

The old lady's eyes are so vicious, she can see the seductiveness in Wan Qiuyu's bones from Wan Qiuyu's walking posture at a glance, just like some seductive concubines in the homes of some careless people.

The old lady's eyelids drooped, and she turned the prayer beads in her hand again.

The daughters of their Wan family, the daughters of the concubine and those of the concubines, she cares more about the daughters of the concubines, but she also treats the upbringing of the girls of the concubines equally.The one in front of him is not young anymore, and it will be too late to raise him again.

Aunt Zhao was wearing a blue jacket and skirt, her hair was combed in a neat bun, just like her face, she looked honest.

"The concubine remembers the birthmark on the girl, and I hope the old lady will let the concubine check it out."

The old lady signaled to the woman next to her to take the two of them to the back room of the side hall.

The second and third wives sitting in the hall didn't see this concubine in their eyes, but she was a concubine, and she was a big wife, so what did it have to do with them?
The second lady glanced at Shen Qing, and said in an indifferent way: "Sister-in-law is kind-hearted, a concubine who had been lost for many years, unexpectedly brought her back from Yangzhou."

"I look at her, this outfit doesn't look good, and it's a trouble to bring it back."

The second lady was just deliberately finding fault, but she really didn't like it when she said this. The girl in their house can't ruin her reputation because of this newcomer.

"Sister-in-law is really too. I don't want to know whether this person should be brought back. The girl in our house should have a good reputation."

The second wife, Mrs. Lin, has always talked like this, she likes to complain on weekdays, and her favorite thing is to run on Shen Qing.

Wan Jinlan raised her head and glanced at her grandmother, and saw that her eyes were slightly closed, and she was spinning a Buddhist bead in her hand, as if she didn't hear what the second aunt said, she knew that her grandmother was also a little unhappy.

She wanted to speak up to argue for her mother, but she also knew that it was not suitable for her as a junior to speak up when the elders spoke.

Shen Qing also has a temper, and she and Lin's behavior did not happen overnight.

Shen Qing asked softly: "Siblings mean, if the girl from your second room was lost, if you found it by chance, you wouldn't bring it back?"

Lin was choked.

Obviously, she couldn't answer this question correctly.

If the answer is brought back, wouldn't it be contradictory to her previous complaint.If you don't bring it back, what will your mother-in-law think of her?When her husband heard about it, what would he think of her?An unworthy reputation must be placed on her head.

The third wife, Mrs. Gu shook her head slightly in her heart, this second sister-in-law always showed everything on her face, she looked shrewd, but she was actually not smart.

The corners of Wan Jinlan's mouth curled up slightly, and when he raised his head, he met Wan Zhijing who was beside him, and the brother and sister showed tacit smiles.

When the second wife Lin was in a dilemma, Aunt Zhao came back with Wan Qiuyu.

With tears in her eyes, Aunt Zhao knelt down and kowtowed. She grabbed Wan Qiuyu's hand and knelt down together with her, "My concubine, thank you, Mrs. Madam, for letting our mother and daughter meet again one day."

Wan Qiuyu also breathed a sigh of relief.It's not that she didn't think that she came to Kyoto from Yangzhou, but the journey was so long, she probably couldn't even get out of Yangzhou City, so she was captured by Mama Hong.She has always pinned her hopes on Shen Qing because she knows Shen Qing a little bit, and knows that she is a kind-hearted person, different from Wan Jinlan.

The woman who went with the old lady before nodded slightly to the old lady, indicating that there is no trick between Aunt Zhao and Wan Qiuyu.

The old lady put the beads aside and said, "It's good when you come back. I'll let the nanny teach you the rules. You don't have to go out of the yard until you learn the rules."

Although Aunt Zhao loves her daughter dearly, she also knows that learning the rules is a good thing for Wan Qiuyu.

Wan Qiuyu bit his lips in embarrassment.She knew, she knew, that her biological aunt was weak, and as for the rest of the Duke of Zhen's mansion, there wasn't a single good person.This old lady, in her past life as in her current life, was an immortal and annoying ghost.Sooner or later, she will let them live by her face.

"Okay, let's leave, Shen Shi and Lan Niang stay."

The old lady started to chase people away.

Wan Jinyu gave Wan Jinlan a look of "I'll look for you in your yard in a while", and followed Gu Shi.

The old man didn't like a room full of people. If his grandson hadn't been on the list today, he would be happy, and he wouldn't be able to come here now. Hearing the news, he was the fastest to leave.

"Is something wrong with grandma?"

Wan Jinlan took the initiative to stand beside the old lady and kneaded her shoulders and neck.

She didn't want her mother to be angered by her grandmother because of Wan Qiuyu. It was also a strategy to play tricks and behave right now.

The old lady said as if nothing had happened before: "Seven days ago, the queen mother in the palace ordered someone to come to the mansion to announce the decree, calling Lan Niang into the palace to have an audience. Do you two know why?"

Back then the Empress Dowager sent people to summon people with great fanfare, but the people in the house couldn't figure it out, and the old lady couldn't figure it out either. Don't you want to ask now?
Although she didn't know the Queen Mother's purpose, the eunuch looked good that day, so she thought, probably it wasn't a bad thing.

Shen Qing looked a little inexplicable, glanced at her daughter, and instantly remembered Qi Wang Xiaofeng.

Shen Qing couldn't be sure, so she said after deliberation: "On the day we left Yangzhou, King Qi sent someone to bring some food."

Because I was not sure, I didn't say anything else, but the old lady was so shrewd that she understood it in an instant.
