After the Republic of China

Chapter 1051 Accident
The guest room where Lingzhu lives is decorated in a warm and elegant style, which perfectly suits Lingzhu's aura.

She looked full of emotion and anticipation, which made her look even more gentle and lovely.

Shao Yunshi likes talking to people like this. She smiled at Ling Zhu and nodded, "That's right. If it weren't for something else delaying us, my mother and the others would have come here a long time ago."

Ling Zhu treated Lu and the others as her relatives, and she missed them very much. She asked worriedly, "I wonder how is godfather's factory doing?"

"Maybe it's not ready yet. After all, it's not easy to handle so many people and machines when relocating." Shao Yunshi shook her head.

Speaking of which, the Lu family went to Hong Kong to develop their business a few years ago.

Unfortunately, things have been dragging on for a long time, and even now, some assets are still being processed.

Fortunately, the family has settled in Hong Kong, and they can live a much more peaceful life.

Ling Zhu sighed, "If I hadn't caught a cold, I would have been able to go see my godmother."

"My mother and others will be here in a few days, don't worry." Shao Yunshi hurriedly advised.

Ling Zhu shook her head, "I'm not anxious, it's just that I haven't seen you for several years and I miss you a little."

Shao Yunshi nodded, "Yes, Dawen and Xiaowu have grown into boys now."

"Are they adapting to studying there?" Ling Zhu is very concerned about her two younger brothers.

Shao Yunshi smiled, "They've adapted well. Dawen is doing well in his studies, and Xiaowu is not bad either, but he likes to play a little."

Speaking of this, Shao Yunshi thought of Shao Diyuan's strong academic performance, and she couldn't help but sigh that this gene was still very interesting. Of course, except for herself.

Ling Zhu knew that her two younger brothers were not very good at studying, so she smiled and said, "It's good that they can study. Once they get used to it, it will definitely be better."

Shao Yunshi has no regrets either, as everyone has their own destiny.

Besides, Dawen and Xiaowu will inherit the family business in the future, so they don’t need to become great scholars.

Then, she smiled and said, "I heard that my brother-in-law helped to build the foundation for my father's factory expansion."

Ling Zhu nodded, "It just so happens that Shanchun has a good friend whose family lives in Hong Kong, so it wouldn't be a big deal if we could talk to him."

Ling Zhu treated the Lu family as her mother's family, and Shao Yunshi did not modestly thank her, "I'm afraid my brother-in-law is taking advantage of me."

"What kind of favor can it be? Don't think too much. You don't want to make your godmother feel guilty." Ling Zhu hurriedly stopped him.

Shao Yunshi didn't say much, "Sister Zhu, have you visited the Lu Mansion?"

Ever since the old man and his family moved to Hong Kong, the Lu Mansion has been managed by Shao Yunshi.

Later, after Shao Lanxiang came, she was not allowed to go out.

So, the matters over there were entrusted to Ling Zhu.

Ling Zhu nodded, "The steward over there is very useful. Everything is kept clean. When my godmother and the others come, they will definitely be comfortable."

Shao Yunshi smiled and said, "Maybe they can stay at my place this time."

Ling Zhu didn't think much about it, "It's fine to live here, after all, it's more lively with more people."

Shao Yunshi's side has two small buildings in front and back, with many guest rooms.

"My brother-in-law and uncle said they would come, but I don't know if the timing is important?" Shao Yunshi frowned.

Ling Zhu knew that Shao Yunshi had lived in her aunt's house in Nanjing before and had a good impression of Uncle Jiang, closer to him than her biological father. Naturally, she was looking forward to General Jiang attending the wedding.

But Ling Zhu didn't know much about men's important affairs, so she didn't want to say anything. "They are busy with official duties, so they may not come until the day."

Shao Yunshi nodded, "Now that the peace talks between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party have been successful, my uncle and brother-in-law may be able to spare some extra time."

Ling Zhu listened, glanced outside, and whispered: "I don't think I'm idle, but I'm even busier."

Shao Yunshi was startled and quickly asked, "Sister Zhu, where did you get this from?"

Ling Zhu didn't treat Shao Yunshi as an outsider, and said with a sullen face: "It's hard to explain official affairs. Forget it, I won't talk about it, I don't want to pollute your ears."

After hearing this, Shao Yunshi felt a little regretful, but she didn't ask any further questions.

However, she had expected that even if the two parties cooperated, there would be friction between them. I guess our party was well prepared.

In short, these are not her business.

The two sisters were not the ones with whom they could have deep discussions on national affairs.

Shao Yunshi didn't want Ling Zhu to be embarrassed, so she sighed secretly and waved her hand, saying, "Sister, don't say these things in the future. Don't let others hear them and cause trouble for your brother-in-law."

Ling Zhu agreed, "It's only you that I've revealed a few things to. I won't tell anyone else."

These words made people feel a little depressed, and the two of them were not in the mood to talk.

It just so happened that Lingzhu hadn’t recovered from her cold yet and was also tired.

Seeing that she looked tired, Shao Yunshi said goodbye.

Lingzhu hurriedly called Duoer to see her off.

Shao Yunshi came to see Lingzhu alone, and when she left, she was even more casual.

So, she hurriedly stopped Duo'er and asked her to take good care of Lingzhu.

Duo'er was honest and had to stop.

Lingzhu's guest room is not too far from Shao Yunshi's master bedroom.

Shao Yunshi was probably feeling a little depressed after hearing what Ling Zhu had not finished saying, so she did not walk back along the corridor.

Instead, he paced to the corridor behind the building.

She looked at the low lawn, which was still the color of wheat in the cold winter. Although there were no dead branches or leaves on it, it still looked a little bleak.

This made her even more depressed.

It also completely suppressed the joy she had felt earlier when she saw her lover.

The winter in Shanghai is still very cold.

Shao Yunshi did not stay outside for long.

As luck would have it, there wasn't much to see in the back garden, so she calmed down and went back home.

For a while, the Shao Mansion became much quieter without the command of Aunt Shao Lanxiang.

Unfortunately, this kind of silence did not last long.

Shortly after noon, along with Shao Lanxiang, Old Man Shao also returned.

Mr. Shao, who was sitting in the large study, had a gloomy expression on his face.

Butler Zhang served the tea and didn't say much, just sighed.

After Shao Lanxiang coaxed her son to sleep, she returned to the study and saw that her father and Uncle Zhang both looked depressed, so she sighed too.

Mr. Shao had been through a lot, but seeing his daughter getting upset, he calmed down instead, "Is the child settled?"

"Hmm." Shao Lanxiang looked at her father worriedly, waiting for him to speak.

Mr. Shao frowned and said, "What are you doing here? You're not accompanying the child. You'll make trouble again later."

The old man cares a lot about the son that his daughter had many years after her marriage.

"Don't worry, Weiyi has a wet nurse." Shao Lanxiang glanced at her father and said with courage, "Dad, the one following Bai's brother is a Japanese."

After hearing this, Mr. Shao's face turned even worse.

Today, the father and daughter were outside and met by chance, so they decided to go to a cafe and have some Western-style food.

Unexpectedly, I met Bai's brother, Uncle Bai, there.

Fortunately, the two groups did not meet, and the father and daughter hurried back.

Butler Zhang glanced at the young lady and whispered, "This Bai Da mentioned our second young lady in his words. Could it be that the second young lady is here too?"
